    “I have seen soldiers who do not take care of their weapons before leaving the base."

    Amerikan troops do that too…

    “No army in the world behaves like this. The soldiers carry their smartphones with them everywhere.”

    Amerikan troops do that too…

    “Commands are sent via WhatsApp groups.”

      There was discussions in resistance medias about how, during the beginning of Al-Aqsa Flood, the occupation soldiers was stuck communicating over tiktok because the Resistance had used a cyberattack to disable all their internal communications.

      Seems they switched to whatsapp 🤭

      Edit: I found the article.

      According to this article with insider information, the cyberwarfare of the resistance shut down all zionist communications networks in a 40km radius around Gaza for the first 24 hours of the Al Aqsa Flood Battle. Subsequently the occupation bases were stormed without any alarms. “Occupation soldiers were forced to communicate over tiktok to make distress calls.”

    If a current IDF dude said it I would say it’s a tactic to get more military funding but ex-IDF sorta implies he knows more than we do about the situation

    This actually does a good job of explaining why Israel talks such a big game but won’t actually go through with the ground invasion: They can’t. They don’t have the ability to actually engage another army, or even an armed civillian force, so all they do is drop bombs or take pot shots at civvies.

      Pretty much, and given how US is now stretched thin after a year and a half in Ukraine, seems that Israel’s bluff might get called this time around.
