4. The IDF is flailing looking for targets. Every attack kills non-combatants.

The IDF lost 7 soldiers in an ambush on 6/24. They lost a couple more yesterday.

They're compelled to attack anyone anywhere that could conceivably be called Hamas. The troops are panicking at food distribution centers and opening fire. Gaza is a target-poor environment now. Their strategy is impossible to complete - they can't stamp out a guerilla army without devastating the non-combatant population.

There hasn't been a peep about negotiations for weeks. The MFer Admin is on board with extending the siege indefinitely.
