There will likely be a bloodbath if Israel tries to dislodge militants in the urban areas of Gaza -- with heavy casualties for Israel, Hamas and civilians.
It’s a lesson the US military learned painfully in Fallujah and fighting ISIS in Iraq and Syria.

Israeli invasion of Gaza likely to resemble past difficult battles in Iraq and Syria

Hey folks, Bluesky has now passed 500,000 users!
It's incredible to think only a few months ago we were celebrating 50k in a fun little club.
It's wild to see how much the actions of a few people with bad money sense cause folks to flock to something new and exciting. I'm glad you're all here!
