IDF troops have been told they "will soon see Gaza from the inside":. And US intel says between 100 and 300 died in the hospital blast according to The Guardian, which I've found to be an accurate source of info.
Lots of info floating around. According to European intelligence it was supposedly 10-50 but I doubt will really know. I thought the invasion would have begin yesterday but I guess they held off.. maybe because of weather?

There is a lot of pressure on Israel to not send the IDF into Gaza, at least till something can be tried to release hostages and get humanitarian aid going. I'm sure some of the pressure is coming from back-rooms on the US/UK side.

Having seen the blast pics and knowing the hospital was full of people it's clear to me that at least 100 died simply because of the damage shown.

Potentially a 3rd U.s base in the middle east was just hit. Can't figure out if this is old and is from the other 2 or this is new.
Looks like it's backed by Iran this drone bombing

Another attack stationed where Americans are in Syria. Good grief not sure how many they're have been but there's been at least 2 incidents with the U.S. military today

A Christian church explosion has been reported in Gaza. Potentially another red flag incoming.

U.S. intelligence reports that Iran is trying to ratchet up conflict with the U.S. with it's proxies.

As a summit of middle-eastern leaders is planned for today in Cairo, the border crossing as Rafah has opened and 20 aid trucks have entered Palestine. No word yet on whether foreign nationals have been allowed into Egypt. Biden walked back an answer to a journalist regarding the US asking Israel to delay their planned ground offensive saying he misunderstood the question.

We know that is coming. The only questions are when, how many, where, and how far they will go then and later. It does seem that much of the support for Hamas has faded as it's clear to all how horrible their actions were, and that they are the ones who started this whole thing by their acts. Many have spoken of Israel's right to defend themselves too so it's basically a question of the civilians now- the IDF will go into Gaza for certain.

Is SHTF incoming?

Iranian commander has flown into Syria to "supervise" pro Iranian militias.

American Navy getting special meals

Hezbollah rumors as well.

The US is on standby to perform in an "air defense" role and has put more troops on notice to be ready to deploy. The USS Carney, a GM Destroyer, has shot down 3 cruise missiles- our first direct involvement in this conflict. French military analysis has now said the hospital strike wasn't Israel but a failed Hamas missile. Hezbollah has stepped up it's role with cross-border attacks which the IDF pointed out would likely become the reason this expands into something regional. China is sitting this one out, Russia is posturing and has no credibility or ability to do anything much except talk. Iran is becoming more active in their support of the extremists and our supposed ally Saudi Arabia is moving to normalize relations with them, which has been absent till now. The IDF entry into Gaza looks imminent.

Not looking good.

Reuters is reporting that 17 more aid trucks have entered the Egypt side of the Rafah crossing- no word on when they will be allowed through. Also a large pro-Israel demonstration is occurring right now in Germany.
