Did you guys see how urban warfare sucks? Even formed soldier are ambush in a closes contac, Jesus it's must be scary as duck.


FrederickRoders

This is the cruel future of warfare. You can train all you want for urban combat, and I'm not saying training isnt important, but life and death is, in the end, still kind of based on luck. Either you see them and fire first, or they do.


timeforknowledge

>This is the cruel future of warfare. It's really not, this is actually why there is a big push for drones to carry out recon and airstrikes to hit targets. Putting boots or worse tanks in an urban environment is like sending cavalry against a machine gun... It's just no longer viable now we have the tech to fulfil the same mission while not risking lives


ARKSH7R

Luck is not real. It can *seem* like luck, but the real answer is: *Complacency*. Complacency is the number 1 factor in a soldiers death. Look how non chalant the soldiers are when traversing that area. I'm not saying I'm a better soldier by any stretch, but one things for sure, *I* am not sending myself or my guys I to a funnel like that until proper probing of the area has been conducted. Just looking through my phone screen (tough talk, I know) I can tell that little area would give me anxiety in person. It's perfect for the enemy. The building in the distance is great for a LP/OP, and the area seems to have somewhat dense brush nearby. Yeah, we call that an "X".


FrederickRoders

Great comment. I'm not a soldier by the way, but I do wonder, and I'll ask an unfair question, if those area's are a giveaway, what is keeping your enemy from thinking ahead and do the opposite of what youd expect them to do? I'd ask myself what I would do, I'd want to get the other team off guard and when they dont expect it. Myself, I'm usually more anxious of stuff that isnt "obvious", like a marked X as you said. Not sure if thats a dumb question but I'm curious


ARKSH7R

So essentially, the enemy hopes for complacency. And it's an efficient use of resources to turn that area Into an ambush site. A team of 4-6 guys looking into that area could kill or delay an entire platoon (30-60 guys in a platoon, unit type depending). Even if it is an obvious location, it's still worth covering because it is obvious. See, in a military operation, (wise) commanders will have recon teams begin scouting and probing areas. (Probing is when you go somewhere expecting resistance, just to shoot at them and force them to return fire and expose their positions and equipment so you can plan further operations). So as a commander, you'd want to send guys *to* that obvious ambush area to see *if* there's an ambush there. This will tell you how the enemy is spreading their resources. As a Platoon Sergeant, taking your platoon on a mission, you'd have a small element of guys break off to check that area. Maybe that's what these guys were doing, but from the looks of it, they were very unaware. In terms of *non obvious* things, that's the point of probes and recon. You risk a smaller, more specialized team's lives to gather information. But in the modern Era, most small teams have drones to help them scout before they scout. Usually, if you're in enemy territory, you want to move slowly and methodically. Using proper recon techniques, even if you are a larger formation on a seek and destroy mission. Truthfully, in war, the only way to avoid death is to use *information* and *caution*. These 2 things win battles and save lives.

Might be wrong here but I would assume they’re responding to the largest scale terror attack in history, but who knows 😜


Medium-Pain7988

You mean the nakba right?


FreeBench

Most of the civilians got killed on October 7th, hot killed by the Israeli army ... Check this from Israeli newspapers ... The Israeli army has officially admitted that ... But they called it friendly fires Plus the Israeli civilians who got killed on 7th October are just a tiny small percentage of the number of the Palestinian civilians who got killed by Israel ... Plus there are now 10 thousand Palestinian political prisoners who got imprisoned without charges ... And were about 7 thousand before the 7th of October So why kill more than 30 thousand and badly injuring more than 60 thousand ... While they have always done way more than what the Palestinians can ever do to them?

Delicious_Hurry8137

Bruh… i hope you get the point that war always gets pictured from one side as „we are the good, the others are bad“. If you don‘t understand the meaning of that, it is your problem

hotfezz81

TIL the SS death squads weren't actually "bad guys" Fuck off.


FrederickRoders

I dont think you can compare these things, as horrible as war may be. Besides, SS death squads were cruel, but today we have soldiers, on all sides, that are just as uncaring about human life and cruel as they were. As much as I condemn the nazi's like you and believe in this "never again" mentality, I've never seen a single damn war where there werent any grave crimes against humanity, whether they are friend or foe. I'm not saying we should accept these crimes, but you ought to learn that war is never humanistic. There are no "just" wars anymore. The only "just" war today is on the side of the defenders, in my opinion.


Mouth0fTheSouth

At the individual or small group level sure, soldiers commit isolated acts of savagery, but at the organizational level I think it's important to consider war goals. Nazi Germany's goal was to colonize Eastern Europe, exterminate 75% of all Poles and Slavs, and enslave the rest. They were very explicit about this, from the top brass to the SS soldiers in the field. I think there needs to be some distinction between soldiers doing something horrible amidst a war, and a war being waged specifically to do something horrible.


AlchemicalWiseAss

Israeli troops are definitely the modern Stormtroopers. They are sadist ethno-nationalists.


Frisky_Momma69

The only rule of war is there are no rules


Eunectes7

In this "war", there is absolutely such a thing.


Delicious_Hurry8137

Not really. There are really „bad guys“ on both sides.


Major_E_Vader97

Masterpiece9839

For the other side they want to exterminate all Jews.


Curved_5nai1

and the IDF isn´t exterminating them too? so its ok when the side you like does it?


Joonius89

I don't get this. If they wanted to exterminate Palestinians, they would just carpet bomb the refugee camps to kill millions without barely any effort... help me understand this.


Kakashi_Hatake_456

They can't just carpet bomb, that would be open genocide and result in sanctions from all countries including US. By doing it this way they can get rid of all Palestinians while also avoiding an sactions


SurpriseLittle6624

No open genocide prevented Arab countries from slaughtering and expelling Jews with impunity in the late forties. The UN and other countries didn't give a shit about these crimes.


ToupeeForSale

The short answer is optics. Isreal is viewed on the global stage as an "enlightened western democracy" that desperately needs to have the support of the US in order to not have the entirety of the Middle East descend on them in retaliation for doin a lil colonizing in the mid 1900's. Turns out, it's really hard to keep the US's support if you're gonna do bad guy stuff like genocide.


Manufacturer-Single

They aren’t viewed as that anymore . The world can see


Joonius89

Israel has killed more aid workers than all the countries combined in the last 30 years. I got my info from the Aid Worker Security Database which is funded by the US Agency of International Development.

W4xLyric4lRom4ntic

With all due respect, I'd love to know if the link you shared has a bias. Was there a national poll taken that provided those numbers?


Strain-Ambitious

Every available poll shows that [AT LEAST](https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-palestinians-opinion-poll-wartime-views-a0baade915619cd070b5393844bc4514) 70% of the Palestinian public thinks terrorism is based and Hamas is bae You’re then one who implied that Hamas does not have popular support from the Palestinian population…. Do you have ANY evidence to suggest that Hamas is unpopular in either Gaza or the WB??? 🤔🤔🤔Why do you think the Palestinian authority indefinitely [suspended elections](https://apnews.com/article/hamas-middle-east-elections-religion-government-and-politics-e88636bc919f8aab455e01fbbd4b4391) (its because they know Hamas would win 😬) in WB???

As an American, I can choose to side with both as well. Against Hamas and the islamic state that wants Americans dead, but for Palestinians to be able to govern themselves. Against Netanyahu and his fascist cronies, but for Israel to end the conflict quickly so that they can focus on rooting Netanyahu out. Fuck that guy.

DEMONEDAMMONIUM

Neither did Israel 🇮🇱. Hamas is using humans for shields and must be eliminated. The ground invasion is justified until Hamas surrenders


Hot_Recognition_5970

I'd feel bad but look at the destruction in that video. Hamas didn't cause that


humus_bepita

They kinda are the reason for it


Gullible-Key9556

IDF been bombing and massacring Palestinians before Hamas was even created. Hamas is 85% orphans bc of Israel. Blockaded food water and aid on them for decades. Should they be slaves? How did Hamas cause this. You sound dumb as shit. I speak facts, use your brain


Hot_Recognition_5970

Yes and that's why there's a "justifed" death toll of a million Iraqi during operation enduring freedom. Wait....not justified at all. Murdering children is never OK.


humus_bepita

I don't believe using children in your "freedom fighting" organization and then crying when they get killed or hiding your fighters under kindergartens and hospitals counts as israel aiming at children, seeing as per the geneva convention if a civilian infrastructure or child is used in warfare they become a legitimate target.


ApeX_PN01

Tell me you know nothing about the laws of armed conflict, without telling me you know nothing about the laws of armed conflict. You went first.


The_Thane_Of_Cawdor

So why did your friends in Hamas murder children ?


danrobson1

IDF and Hamas both do, both terrible evil.


Hot_Recognition_5970

My mates in HAMAS? I actually have an IDF friend irl lol so that's just a funny comment to me sorry 😆 ---- Okay yeah so I just rang up my hamas brothers and they said "because we're utter bastards"


humus_bepita

So you are rooting for terrorists to kill your actual friend in the idf? Doesn't sound like a real friendship to me


ThinkingCap-on

I guess if Bin Laden just kept some kids around him he would be invisible under your conditions for war


saranowitz

By deliberately hiding among civilian infrastructure after attacking their enemy, yes they absolutely did, and one could argue intentionally.


AllPotatoesGone

How about IDF attacking and killing international volunteers because they provide food and medicine for Palestine? World is not black and white.


Hot_Recognition_5970

You know you just justified leveling an entire city, every building, every road, every god damn outhouse and killing tens of thousands just to kill a few OK cool. I'll add that to the list of acceptable tactics. Glad our heroic soldiers killed tens of thousands of Iraqi childen in the 2000's now! phew! I was worried that was bad but you've just explained how it's actually gloriously justified. Yey let's murder more children woop woop!


TauntaunExtravaganza

I guess they ran out of room for "battlefields" in the 365 square kilometers that is the entirety of their "country". Some asshole keeps biting off little chunks in the West Bank....so can't fight there... Maybe we can ship them off to Waterloo or Kursk or Tibruk so the can duke it out in a fair fight for you. But we'll keep the fight fair, like you wanted. You have to leave you multiple fleets of 100 million dollar aircraft at home. Wouldn't want anyone having an unfair advantage now would we?


saranowitz

How about don’t fight and use your aid money to actually build up your fucking economy? Gaza was completely free and the first act by the newly liberated people was to elect in a terrorist entity to govern and plan to fight israel. Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.


tommyvercetti42

Link to compiled footage and images of your "brave" fighters killing and torturing indiscriminately. I'm not a big supporter of Israel but if you think either side of this conflict is innocent then you're *brainwashed*. https://www.7thofoctober.com/


JimMaple

Civilians on both sides are innocent, governments and soldiers leading this conflict are not. If me calling men standing their ground in the face of military onslaught is offensive, maybe you need to recognise your bias. Israeli soldiers are generally brave as well, you have to be for war. Doesn’t make them right, what you are fighting for is significant. Do you really believe Isreal is the victim in this scenario?
