War In The Middle East! Massive War Preparations Underway!

I have family visiting and since Thursday we have all been up north at my chalet (the Laurentians of Quebec) where we all decided to put our phones aside and spend quality time as a family.

I learned only in the past few hours what has happened (and is happening) in the Middle East.

Here is an easy prediction. We are going to see casualties that will be in the tens of thousands. This is a major war that can also easily spread to other countries.

It is now midnight and I am tired. I will be providing updates and my analysis on what is happening first thing in the morning.

Update: Cannot sleep. Just learned that Israel is mobilizing 300,000 soldiers. This tells me that they are going to storm Gaza. The sources that I trust also tell me that the Israeli government has made the decision to get rid of Hamas once and for all.

Sighhh .....

I think in the coming days we are going to seeing barbarism being committed by both sides against civilians that the world has not seen in a very long time.

Update #2: This is a road that should not be followed .... Warmongers Start Push For U.S. Involvement In Iran Following Hamas Attack (Summit News). The US and its NATO allies are in no position to conduct a major hot war in the Middle East.

Update #3: This is a major Israeli intelligence failure. I wonder if Israel's focus on the war in Ukraine is one of the reasons why they missed what Hamas was planning. I am also reading reports that Israel's recent massive shipment of arms to Ukraine (i.e. 155 millimeter artillery shells) is now impacting its planning on how to engage Hamas.

Update #4: A source I trust in Israel tells me that over 1,500 Israeli citizens have already been killed and that hundreds are missing and presumed either to be dead or held as hostages.

Update #5: I am getting a bad feeling about this. If these Israeli casualty numbers are true, Israel will enact revenge, and I for one would not be surprised if in the end much of Gaza will be leveled.

Update #6: All water/food/ and electricity have been cut-off for Gaza. I hope the Egyptian government and the international community are now positioning themselves to receive over a desperate million refugees in the coming days/weeks.
