Gaza Strike

Military: Battle

  As a result of the Hamas attack upon Israel, the IDF green-lit several operations into Gaza which took hours to mobilise and started with Helicopters flying in from the North and attacking the city. The IDF Ground elements encountered heavy resistance which costed various lives and hours of intense urban warfare. Israel also had difficulty identifying Civilian from Foes and under the pressure of an Radical Regime, failed to make any distinctions and simply crushed whoever got in the way and that vague standard was pushed to its furthest limits by certain officers within the IDF.   However, there was a Hamas Lieutenant of High Value within the City, so The Cabal sanctioned a operation with the Shadow Vanguard to raid several Domciles at 3 AM with the orders "Lethal Force Encouraged" being given for the first time which gave the Shadows a blank-cheque to kill all Civilians, Hamas Fighters and IDF Soldiers who spot them in the name of secrecy. The VIP identified as 'Zulu' was extracted which provided the Americans much needed information about Saudi Arabia and Egypt.   Then terminating Zulu, The White House was not alerted at any point by the US Government it had conducted this Terror-Extraction Operation. The Operation saw:   35 Dead Palestinian Civilians
23 Hamas Casaulties
10 Israeli Soldiers
5 American Journalists
 

"The US Government didn't sanction any kind of Operation in the Gaza Strip, we have no reports or records of any PMCs being paid to strike Gaza. We wish for a peaceful resolution, a two states resolution to the Israel-Palestine question." - Vienna Price, Whitehouse Spokesmen

  The Cabal only grew in strength from this Operation and future Black-Ops would be conducted without the president's Knowledge in the future. Meanwhile in Gaze, Terror attacks from both sides of the conflict would rage on as if nothing had happened, more details of Hamas' attack also hit the internet however in Neonphage's timeline, Israeli Propaganda was already facing reduced prevalence in the West and therefore the average Citizen of Western Countries trended against Israel.    Likud's Netanyahu releases radicalising statements of purging a city of Evil and turning all of Gaze into Ruins. By the end of the Gaze strike, Israel was ready for War but many were still curious as to why Israel was taken so off Guard. President Hill towards the 27th guaranteed Jordan's Independence from Israel after Forces threatened to invade, but in return Hezbollah was restrained from invading Israel, preventing the War from Escalating any further than it has.    Russia released its own statements, supporting a Multilateral Solution in the Middle East, blaming America for the problems in Israel, even as Russian Wagners join the Gaze Strike and worsen the already terrible situation in Gaza.
