Edgy but true. Everyone knows "winning" against insurgents doesn't actually happen with the broad strokes of an airstrike, so yeah, they must be measuring the dead civilians here.

Ok they are winning, but in what? Most killed civilians? Biggest gain on infamy? They only "winner" here is Netanjahu, further dodging anything closely resembling judicial justice and his cabinett of fascists, gaining more votes by fascists in the country.

The worlds people are watching and that was exactly the goal that the palestinians had. So even though they had, have and probably will have to suffer, i would call that a bigger win. We can only hope that more people will stand up against what isrel is doing until our crooked governments have to act under the pressure.

According to the article, they're having significant progress in achieving their war objectives: recovering hostages, securing their borders and destroying Hamas. Hamas's grip on power in Gaza is weakening, and Israel is going to be in a position where they can install new, less hostile leadership in the area.

I mean yeah, there's nothing left in Gaza for Hamas to control.

Sure, kill a lot of the civilians in order to get less hate in the future at thwart extremism. This is a good plan and will not backfire.
