Observations from the sidelines...
There were warnings, going back at least a year, from various military and intelligence sources, in and outside of Israel, that violent activity was in process and preparation in the region. All the warnings were, apparently, brushed off by the Israeli government of Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Israeli government of Benjamin Netanyahu appears to be hostile to a, "two state solution," and are part of the hostile over reaction to the atrocities of Hamas on October 7th, 2023. Netanyahu is also using the hostilities to avoid the allegations of crimes, in Israel, as well as alleged war crimes, before the International Criminal Court.
The current Israeli government also has actively disregarded the words of Moshe Dayan (also, attributed to Bishop Desmond Tutu), "If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies."
There are other ways to resolve this chapter of the long running tendency to violent conflict in the Middle East.
What little I do know is of active and passive geophysical data acquisition methods. It is extremely probable that there are experts within Israeli, American (and other nation's) applicable government agencies that know far more...
The
response to the terrorist atrocities of Hamas must use this, and many
other means and methods, to respond surgically, because there are,
“bad actors,” that will portray, out of context (as needed), any and every
thing that Israel does in reaction to the horror of the Hamas attack
on Israeli citizens. It helps not at all that the current government of Israel has chosen to be one of the, "bad actors."
There are people and organizations that thrive on chaos and destruction; have no desire to seek or promote peaceful means of progress in the Middle East. Therefore, the response to the terrorist provocation of Hamas must be carried out with pinpoint accuracy, lest the day be carried by those with naught but the worst intentions.
