.@mdubowitz: "From the outset of this war, Israel predicted that mopping-up operations against residual Hamas cadres would continue for months after the initial high-intensity offensive wound down in late 2023. That is what we have been seeing in Zeitoun, Jabalya, and elsewhere. Naysayers might argue that the return of the IDF is proof of some kind of strategic failure. Yet the IDF never declared ‘mission accomplished,’ and, if anything, the steep drop-off in its casualties this time demonstrates that Hamas capabilities have been successfully eroded." https://bird.makeup/@fdd/1790863180895240658
