These are fair points, and I appreciate the thoughtful, holistic response. We may disagree on interpretive aspects, particularly as to the motives of certain parties, and the extent to which the current operation differs from "war as usual" (whatever that may mean) or even other major IDF campaigns.

But beyond that I think we can spare ourselves further predictable iteration (which would only veer further from the original topic of the thread, and change nothing about what's happening on the ground in any case).
