>Hamas ran out of mortar shells 10+ months ago, as mortar workshops were blown up by IDF

>Muh 75% of Gaza is controlled by IDF

>3 weeks ago Hamas suddenly starts using massive numbers of mortars. 175 mortar attacks on IDF positions in the last 3 weeks
>Can't be explained by local manufacture. The tunnels from Egypt are now open again and traffic is HEAVY
>Hamas is shipping thousands of mortar shells into Gaza, which means they're shipping all sorts of other things too, like food and medicine and anti-tank guided missiles and short range rockets, and sniper rifles, and .50 cal bullets, and RPGs, and hand grenades, and drones like perhaps the drone filming the video here in OP.

There's even all sorts of "luxury" food items for sale at the markets in Gaza, stuff that could only be smuggled in, and LOTS of it.

>3 weeks ago was also a date of major significance. Operation Gideon's Chariots was already basically lost by the time Hamas started using mortar attacks. IDF wasn't even fighting by that point, they were merely doing security for bulldozers doing engineering work, because IDF didn't have any manpower.

>This new IDF mega-operation, Gideon's Chariots 2, was approved by a bunch of old Jews who didn't even factor in the new massive quantities of mortar shells by Hamas. The word mortars was never mentioned once in the 9 hour cabinet meeting to green light this big escalation, bet.
