This Operation can go either like Operation Cast Lead (2008) or Operation Pillar of Defense. Apart from fighting the real war in Gaza Strip, IDF is also fighting a propaganda war, based on lessons learned in 2008. Online warriors of Israel, continue to post IAF footages where Hamas use women and children as human shields. Many times Israel Shin Bet Security agency used to warn the people residing in apartments where Hamas has stored explosives via phone to vacate the building because of the impending airstrike. Many times Israel Airforce Pilots would first use a sound bomb but a dummy one to warn the citizens to vacate the area and then strike again using live bombs.
Small Diameter Bomb fixed in a F-15E Strike Eagle Aircraft gave Israel decisive advantage because of its accuracy, the bomb prototype was tested in Operation Cast Lead 2008 and its was extensively used in Operation Pillar of Defense.
I hope now F-35 Lightening aircraft are also used to strike terror targets. One of the Israel success in Gaza strip was not due to Satellites or drones or listening posts or any other fancy toys, Its due to Human Intelligence. something which India should also develop inside Pakistan.
Indian Political Angle:
As the Airstrikes on Day 2 from Tomorrow we can expect some protests from peaceful for their Palestine brothers. Every time there was a airstrikes in Gaza. We can peaceful community protests against Israel. Since 2014 Right Wing also conducted Pro Israel Rallies to counter Peaceful anti Israel Propaganda, which Peaceful did not expect before. Right Wing people should educate average Indian about reality of Middle East Conflicts. Hamas rocket attacks on Israel should be notified. By doing so Right wing people can control the narrative about Israel Palestine issue. Now we have from news report a lady from Kerala was killed in Hamas Rockets, We dont hear any type of condemnation from either peaceful or commies which is expected. Right Wing should constantly use it against leftist leeches asking for their opinion. Every time a commie or peaceful ask why Israel is conducting airstrikes? we must engage in whataboutism by asking Hamas rocket attacks into Israel.
One more thing, If a commie or peaceful opens a mouth against Israel, we must remind about them their silence in Saudi Airstrike Campaign in Yemen war in which lot of civilians died. Commies strategically avoided commenting about it, It was to avoid adverse reaction by peaceful.
Next few days we can hear TV Debates, Peaceful protests trying to control media narrative. We must not allow it to happen.
To members in Tamil Nadu, Expect some protests in Trichy, Tirunelveli, Chennai. Some Dumeel groups may also indulge in protests.
