Saudis have already received several knocks in the past and given the state of Saudi defence forces, half of whom may defect at a moments notice, Salman made the right choice in keeping his country and his ass safe for the time being.

He will continue to talk tough in public and keep back channel talks open with Israel.

Last thing he needs is Houthis to be running on the streets of Riyadh with half his disgruntled army sharing selfies with them.

They cant detect every rocket attack as its quite difficult, but the invasion was a massive facepalm for CIA and Mossad
After a preliminary evaluation of the failures, several American experts are admitting the complete lack of or very low level and low quality human intelligence on the ground. An important lesson for India.

Mate army has recieved 2 batches of ak 203 production is going on day and night it's not going anywhere stop dreaming
Ik but it's good to reduce AK numbers and induct an AR platform instead. Sig-716 was supposed to go to all frontline troops but I still see beatdown AKs' in the hands of our men including Ghataks

Vivian Silver. Canadian-Israeli pro-peace activist who deeply cared about Palestinian rights. Violently dragged away from her home by Hamas terrorists and being held hostage.

There seems to be a huge intelligence failure by USA and Israel?
It's bewildering that Mossad and CIA, the two best intel agencies can screw up this bad. Almost feels like they let this happen by taking ~1000 casualties so that Israel can split open and raze Gaza to the ground and wipe out Hamas once and for all

In one of the videos, a palestinian raider fired an ak from his hip/abdomen level and took out an Israeli trooper peeping from a corner. That was by no means an easy shot. AK or AR, end of the day it is the man and his familiarity with the weapon and the confidence of using it as an extension of your body arises from the weapons reliability.

Haven't heard of too many issues with a well made AK that's maintained well.

Internally adequate, externally not so much.

not at the level Israel faced for obvious reasons but we have faced attacks with similar strategies.

Our borders with pakistan are heavily monitored and not that easy to cross into, which makes the scale of tragedy much less.
Internally though, a thousand home grown jihadis, well equipped can cause havoc, especially if they plan in multiple cities at the same time.
That is the worst case scenario for us.

Them not being able to monitor 360 sq km of area I indeed intelligence failure. Considering gaza only has one land connection.
Or Israel simply let it happen.
And Israel controls all their water and power supply and probably the airwaves?

Dude it’s Kaneda not kanada it feels like addressing Kannadigas of Karnataka
People in Karnataka voted for Congress party in 2023 assembly elections.

India’s Congress party extends support for Palestinians after Hamas attack on Israel, calls for ceasefire
