I am really not as passionate on this particular topic like others and I understand the concern everybody has in their corner for sure.
One thing I have noticed amongst my Israeli and Jewish friends is a stark change in tone regarding what the primary goal of this mission is in recent weeks.
People can debate all they want about this and that, but getting the hostages back really should be #1 priority vastly exceeding anything else. The IDF, according to a lot of people, has been doing a piss poor job in that regard. Outside of some hostage exchanges and a few that have been rescued, the IDF has not been able to get their people back. They literally had friendly fire of Isreali's getting shot while waiving white flags, screaming in Hebrew.
My friends's concerns is more along the lines of "We are targeting militants in OTHER countries like Lebanon with intelligence and precision where we take out a target in a single room, but can't manage to rescue a few seniors km's from our border? Are they even trying?"
I don't know if I would personally go that far but I can see the concern people have locally in Israel without a doubt. The IDF, who have a very challenging role, is doing an excellent job on the destruction of Gaza and causing a lot of issues for it's people, I just don't know the government's top priority is getting the hostages back which in my opinion should be #1
I am not trying to sound obtuse but I think sometimes people forget that in a hypothetical situation, if the terrorists were able to renter Israel, capture a lot more hostages, keep them in Israel in various locations, the actual military operation would look vastly different.
