All Correct, Israel won HUGE.
Nothing, you had a militant Sunni group in Gaza who thought just because they can fire 5000 rockets a week at Israel that means they are ready to do a massive pointless Pearl Harbor esque attack.
For what reason? Who knows in the end. Hamas had never been stronger prior to its suicide mission. All thanks to aid from the AoR. Why did they end up throwing all that influence and power away to give Israel a blank check to commit genocide?
Hamas had to be the most idiotic organization on Earth. But it’s not suprising, whenever a Sunni country/group/etc has fought Israel they have lost in embarrassing fashion and ended up worse off then if they did nothing. Add Hamas to that list.
The only issue is that idiotic alliance with Hamas took Iran, HZ, Assad, and Houthis down with those morons like Sinwar. That is why I have ALWAYS been against Iran’s policy of arming any Sunni militant groups. They simply do not think pragmatically and in the end are a liability more than asset.
You can thank Solemani, Nasrallah, and Khamenai for re-establishing ties with Hamas after they backstabbed the Axis by siding with terrorist groups in Syria after Assad had given the group so much support for years.
