Very interesting

The latest Hamas war on Israel is the first in seven years. Many Hamas leaders doubted that they were ready for another offensive because the Israelis had continued to outsmart Hamas, especially after the 2014 attack. That one turned out to be a major embarrassment for Hamas, which proceeded much the same way as the current offensive. Hamas had hoped that a closer relationship with Iran would enable them to more effectively plan another offensive. In retrospect, depending on Iran may not be so wise given the number of times Israel has outsmarted Iran in the last few years. Hamas rivals in the West Bank seem to have appreciated the Iranian fall from grace more quickly and used it against Hamas.

Accepting Iran as a patron, cost Hamas a lot of popular support among Palestinians and with the foreign aid donors. Another interpretation is that rival Fatah in the West Bank deliberately sought to goad Hamas into a war with Israel. The timing of the recent Jerusalem violence created by Fatah seems to indicate that Hamas and Fatah are under enormous pressure to hold elections that will once more produce a unified Palestinian government.

Hamas thought attacking Israel again would help Hamas win this election. But a week after starting that war Hamas now saw the likely end which was another humiliation and this make it more likely that Fatah will win the election. The Hamas war also puts more pressure on both rivals to delay the elections until they were certain they will win. That meant the elections will never be held, unless a new crises emerges that makes Fatah look better and Hamas much worse. This would force Hamas to accept the elections and lose control of Gaza, or risk a civil war in Gaza with Egypt and Israel backing Fatah. Hamas had made itself very unpopular with Gazans, Egypt, Israel and Fatah.

The Reality Check

Hamas was not ready for another war with Israel but Israel was, having tamed the covid19 threat faster than anyone else in the region and were outperforming Hamas in the current conflict because Israel had learned more from the 2014 war than Hamas and was quicker to take advantage of that.

An example of this took place on May 12th when the movement of several Israeli combat brigades to the Gaza border was followed by the announcement that Israeli ground forces had moved into Gaza. Israel knew that the Hamas war plan mandated that all senior leaders head for underground bunkers or tunnels when this happened.

The ground assault was not happening but Israeli airstrikes soon took place with over 400 smart bombs and guided missiles used in less than an hour. Many of the smart bombs were of the ground penetrating variety. It was no secret that Israel had a lot of these ground penetrating bombs and also designed and manufactured them.

It was also no secret that since 2014 Israel had developed new tech for quickly finding underground bunkers. In addition the Israeli informant network inside Gaza had paid a lot of attention to where the new Hamas underground tunnels and shelters were. Hamas finally realized all this when dozens of their underground shelters, now full of key Hamas personnel, were damaged or destroyed by the ground penetrating bombs. These bombs were all delivered, against over a hundred Hamas targets, in less than 40 minutes. That made it difficult for Hamas personnel in the shelters to get word to get out of the shelters because Hamas had been the played and the shelters had become traps which many Hamas personnel did not escape.

Many Hamas leaders also blame Fatah for the timing of this war, because Fatah has gained more support among Palestinians. The current round of violence has spread from Jerusalem for other towns and cities with sizable numbers of Moslem Israelis. About one in six Israeli citizens is an Arab Moslem.

These Israelis lead better, more prosperous and safer lives than Arabs in the West Bank, Gaza or any of the neighboring Arab countries. But the culture of resentment, especially against non-Moslems still survives in Israel as it does among Moslems, especially Moslems living in the west. This is a known, and major, flaw with Islam which is the only major religion whose scripture mandates continuous violence against infidels (non-believers). The Islamic scriptures make it clear that the mere existence of infidels is a threat to Islam and must be attacked, no matter what the cost.

Most Moslems ignore this aspect of their religion, at the risk of being declared a heretic if conservative Moslems near them who decide to get violent and go jihad (war on) against any Infidels within reach. Many Moslems, including Gulf oil state Arab governments are openly seeking a way to reform Islam and eliminate this flaw which has been crippling Islam and killing Moslems for over a thousand years. This is a serious effort and one reason for making peace with Israel.

Allies In Gaza

The first six hours of May 18 was the longest period without any Hamas rocket launches since this war began on the 10th. During this pause Israel continued carrying out airstrikes against Hamas targets in Gaza. The smart bomb attacks continue to trigger even larger secondary explosions from rocket stockpiles. Israel has been systematically working down a long list of known or suspected rocket storage sites. Few are at above-ground military bunkers or warehouses. Many are under civilian facilities or in residential areas.

Israel calls ahead to warn residents of the target to evacuate. Most of the explosive force usually comes from the secondary explosion, which leaves behind rocket parts and some intact rockets, which have to be carefully removed before they accidentally detonate. Secondary explosions from rockets stored in the tunnels Hamas has built since 2014 often cause nearby building foundations to fail and produce many collapsed buildings with no bomb damage.

All these visible evidence of Hamas military spending since 2014, with tunnels built using materials donated for rebuilding housing and infrastructure, is one of the reasons Gazans blame Hamas more than Israel for the damage. If underground bunkers were not filled with Iranian and locally built rockets, there would be less additional damage from secondary explosions. Hamas blames all the damage and casualties on Israel but people in the target area know otherwise as the evidence is all around them.

Israel never made a secret about their priority put on destroying rocket stockpiles. [b]Since 2014 Israel has carried an enormous intelligence collecting effort in Gaza. Using continuous aerial and electronic surveillance and an expanded informant system inside Gaza. [/b]That network has been around as long as Gaza has existed as a Palestinian population center. Hamas was constantly searching for informants and not having much success because[b] informants belonging to some of the powerful clan organizations in Gaza saw the Israelis are reliable employers and willing to go to extremes to develop clan support and protection from Hamas. [/b]The better organized and more powerful clans have to be handled carefully by Hamas. As Hamas power has declined the clan capabilities and influence have increased. As long as the clans stay out of politics, Hamas will not go after them.

Occasional news reports of Israeli special operations troops, in civilian clothes, having to fight their way out of Gaza is one of the few visible signs of the Israeli intelligence network inside Gaza. These teams go in when a personal visit by Arab speaking (and appearing) Israelis is needed. These visits would not be possible without a support network inside Gaza. Hamas only detects and confronts these small teams when a random (unpredictable) Hamas checkpoint is established and staffed with personnel who refuse bribes. That’s increasingly rare inside Gaza as Hamas policies continue to cripple the local economy. Covert Israeli assistance does the opposite, unless Hamas gets a massive case of the stupids and launched another major rocket offensive on Israel.

The UAE (United Arab Emirates), which cut its aid to Gaza in February when it established diplomatic relations with Israel, has told Hamas that if they don’t stop attacking Israel the UAE will not move forward with plans for massive economic and aid after a Palestinian-Israel peace deal was completed. That required Hamas and Fatah to carry out elections to determine which will run a united Palestinian government. Reluctance to proceed with those elections is one reason for the renewed violence against Israel. Most other Arab oil state donors are following the same policy, just not as openly as the UAE.

In the north Palestinians in southern Lebanon fired six rockets towards Israel yesterday. Five landed on the Lebanese side of the border while the other one landed in an uninhabited Israeli area. Israeli sensors detected the launch and quickly determined the launch site and artillery fired at least 22 shells at the launch site. UN peacekeepers on the border and Lebanese border guards conducted a search for who launched the rocks and soon discovered it as some local Palestinians.

Compared to 2014 Hamas was able to launch about three times as many rockets as they did in 2014. But as a result of the Israeli intel efforts and more effective targeting, the larger number of rockets were less effective. Casualties have been lower as well. So far the Hamas attacks have killed ten Israelis, one of them a soldier and one a foreigner. Over 500 Israelis have been wounded. Hamas reports 220 dead and 1,400 wounded. Between 60-80 percent of the Gaza dead are Hamas personnel, although Hamas will, as they did in 2014, claim otherwise. The West Bank violence has left one Israeli and 17 Palestinians dead.

In Gaza it’s a repeat of the 51 day 2014 war but with Hamas fading more quickly this time. In part this is because of the decline in Hamas support within Gaza as well as Israel learning more from the 2014 war than Hamas. In the West Bank Fatah has not prospered because to compete with Hamas they had to double down on their “Israel must be destroyed” rhetoric. That has cost them a lot of foreign aid as more evidence of Fatah using aid money to directly assist and encourage Palestinians to attack and try to kill Israelis.

The 2014 war went on for so long (after Hamas indicated it had had enough) because Israel wanted get a better idea of the Hamas situation in Gaza and better prepare for the next Hamas attack. After eight days Hamas is already searching for a way to surrender and avoid all the embarrassing Israeli scrutiny of 2014. Hamas is still able to launch rockets, but can do so less and less.

In 2014 73 Israelis (six military) and 2,100 Palestinians died during 51 days of fighting, including Israeli tanks and infantry moving in to some areas of Gaza.

In 2021 Israel appeared to be threatening a ground attack but held back. The reason is because they collected more and better BDA (Battle Damage Assessment) from the air and sources on the ground than in 2014.

The ban on Twitter is beyond the presidential speech.

June 12 proposed rally is an avenue to a potential breakdown of law and order.

And from endsars experience the FGN accused Twitter as one of the major conspirators.

They know the potential of such reoccurring is high and this time the anger goes far and above.

Here is the danger real time conflicts won't be reported.

Forget about the fake news narrative, a functioning security apparatus speaks for itself, thus reducing the effectiveness of any form of fake news.

Twitter isn't going as for today but the VPN is working perfectly fine.
Can use and access Twitter via VPN

Vaughanlanrewaj:
He is feeling so smart right now . He must think Chinese don't have vpn and Pantami with PhD in computer science had PhD in sociology like him. To block Twitter in your country is as simple as ABC if he doesn't know. It's businesses that have paid millions to advertise there and the bad luck of the IPOB terrorists had affected that I pity , not those who daily resume and close on Twitter from January to December without job and fanning the embers of discord. All the enemies of Nigeria will lose las las. They always lose. God bless Nigeria.

No offense but you sound like someone who's in need of a psychiatrist

Biden and his cohorts should stop heating up international relations with all these juvenile shows..
Putin can't be worried by these.. Dude is armed with worse materials.., has an ebullient China as a solid àlly and can boast of the best Air Defence System in the whole wide world...
This show is for the consumption of the local populations in NATO countries.. NOT for Putin..

It's interesting how everyone calls China China. Once the military embargo is lifted on Japan that's when we can truly tell if China is a world power.

That's one thing China fears thus the reason they are claiming territories of other aaian nations saying they own the entire south China sea since acient times.

Unprofessional conducts.. These guys needs monthly psychological evaluation

If the story is true then he's suffering from PTSD.

Some can manage it well while some can't.

After service in another capacity, you find yourself scanning the face of every individuals and always in battle mode despite being back to civilian environment.

You get very bored at normal jobs, when pastors preach you get bored because you have seen the worst of man.

You get up in the mornings as early as 4 and go for a long walk or run, when in fact you doing it because you wanna get hold of culprit jacking ladies setting out for work.

You mentally evaluate ladies and can spot when they bluffing.

Your sex life is of no priority because all your mind is set on is for battle.

This stuff isn't funny but God will help us to get

@OP What’s Your Experience Working In A Company Owned By An Imam? or Alfa. Very irrelevant title

Thanks for your response.

I don't know what the intention of the thread is about.

Not a fanatic but there is no logic behind this conversation because there are millions of people serving God and can be called pastors.

Also there are millions of pastors that do have their own business.

So the assertion vai his introductory remarks like he's gone round every corner to carry out a survey is what is baffling me.

Franzinni:
But I don't understand all this while that police stations have been getting attacked is it that the other stations don't know it is wise to be on guard 247? And be ready to kill anything on site that is a threat ? How are they getting caught off guard like this ...?

At least am happy they are reasonable persons like you still in this country.

This is taking a shape of a false flag operations.

Militant group or accused group are not this sophisticated and surgical in their operations. Unless there have been a compromise of the security architecture.

Lemme give you one serious information, there is a particular base located some where in the east were mobile calls are collected real time and none real time 24/7.

You see those towering mast all around you?? They all house the devices used for multiple intelligence operations.

The successful military penetration on a particular group indicates that the signals operation is churning out big success.

With that in mind it's a blow to common sense that such successfully operations haven't been applicable to the unknown gunmen saga.

That all of a sudden one top agency with the capability is caught unaware and another one I hold close to my heart with higher capability is also caught off guard.

There are many black box operations that do run off those agencies this is were my suspicion points to, but now the question is to what aim and purpose.

If all my narrative are just mere hypothesis then the nation has a very big monster growing. Because the inability to foil such attacks indicates that the network of field officers along with informants of the IRT, DSS, DIA, MIA and special section is gradually failing and collapsing.

Not in Lagos but can handle it.

How would you handle it? Because this remote thing is something I have seen others gone through and it wasn't funny.

Hit me up directly via my user name so we can chat via email.

Thanks.

Good morning folks, I intend getting a website for my side hustle.

If you reside in Lagos and willing to do the gig please hit me up.

Please also don't over price yourself because my budget is within 50-70k maximum.

I am mentioning this to save my self from stress and also save yourself from stress.

Foolishness in play, chat that will act as evidence in your defense you destroyed it.

Unless am not getting the full picture of what's happening.

Chelsea very unlucky better luck next time.

I guess leciester deserves it this time around.

frog12:
your story is different but always have backup plan if you are on business.

Yes that experience made me create back up plan in every aspect of my life..

frog12:
so you stayed at your cousin's place for how long ?

people like you do not tell the entire story.

4 days exactly

I can recall my first assignment on a foreign land. Was given a contact to meet up and would be hosted for couple of days till my accommodation was finalized.

Was on call before departing and everything seem fine and good to go.

On getting to the location after a 4hr journey,the contact stood me up. I called and called and cried and nearly ended up sleeping on the bench in the waiting area. The weather was 5 degrees that night..

That very moment changed me as a person. Been in a foreign country for the first time and getting stood up like that was the least I expected.

But thank goodness I had a back up back up plan. This was a relative I kept her number prior to departing Nigeria.

She had no clue of my arrivals or planned trip but was all the same very very happy to accommodate me. So rather than crying myself out.. my anger kept me up all night waiting for the next train that was going to depart 5am to my cousin's location.

Till this day I never understood if it was part of my training or just wickedness. But the growth I attained made me appreciate that situation I found myself, because it triggered all the qualities needed to survive in the game and kinda made me ruthless also.

This death is really painful, those who haven't severed in any form of security or military formation would not understand how painful it is.

Nigeria may not be perfect but these are our brothers that will be willing to sacrifice their lives to save the ordinary citizens.

This is a major blow to those of us who wake up everyday and do the needful in ensuring security of Nigerians...

We may not be equipped to the best but I do know is that these men will protect their citizens in a heartbeat. We are loosing our fellow brothers too much.

To all those still serving do not loose hope because we are in war times, we would not win every battle but by God's grace we would win this war.

Nigerians are funny, you all should be more worried about the Chinese phones you all buy and consume because it's cheap.

Sources from Burma where their political tension after military coup said you favorite mobile makers database was bridge by God who knows who and majority of database of key suppliers and distributors of China phone in the country was stolen.
China have always assured the Burma or mayanmar military of assistance that was defined...

As it stands the IMISI of subscribers are hard to track because sim cards can be disposed but the IMEI can't unless you utilize several burner phones.

what played out in Hong Kong is playing out here in Burma because it was the mobile IMEI of Hong Kong citizen that was used to track and in turn crush the protest.

Similar situation is playing out in Ethiopia because the government is up against the tygra tribe because they want to break away that region from Ethiopia. IMEI was used also because they are favorite heavy addicts of Chinese phones.

Point is there is most likely internal disagreement in ministry of communication ever since the pantami disaster, more things are meant to be exposed.

So this is move to remove the sting from future revelations... In intelligence you call it your poker face move.

The other point is the Chinese are good in providing favor, favor in the sense we provide you technology and technical know how that can be used in suppressing your citizens while we get what we want.

Ministry of communication don't even need to approach NCC for anything because there is always a willing helper... It's for that reason the drive to cover Africa with cheap Chinese phones is at full speed.

The west have checks and balances, meaning they can never grant such permission even if it's for terrorism prevention a committee will monitor everything step by step.

The hiring process have been revolutionized a while ago just many can't afford it.

Next challenge is helping potential employee spot fake job roles and fake companies.

The cost of the project is huge because it's designed to cater to every job seeker via the utilization of digital footprint and none digital footprint.

From investigation we realized a set process of everyone engaging a platform is always abused over time.

Criminals in Nigeria are always trying to be a step ahead or they are always trying to adjust faster than usual.

The human intellectual capital of this country is very strong.

Handouts in what way
Both USA and Israel have a mutually beneficial relationship.
Isreal has the second highest concentration of high valued startups in the world second only to US. It is home to the research and dev hq of most high tech brands like HP, Intel etc.
Jews holds the highest number of Nobel prizes held by any ethnic population.

It has over a thousand ultra high networth individuals which pack $744 billion in combined wealth within a population of just 8 million people packed within a country the size of Oyo state. Coming only second to UAE ($825 Billion) and far ahead of Saudi ($482 Billion) and Turkey ($422 B) and Iran ($266B).

Without no oil, it has now surpassed the UAE this year for the second highest Gdp per capita in the Middle East ($43000) surpassing Saudi, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman etc.

Israel has a 4.2% unemployment rate compared to US with 6%. It has inflation of 0.3% compared with USA of 1.7%. This are economic data published by world Bank.

Israel from 1948 - 2021 fought her wars SINGLEHANDEDLY. It has beating a coalition of Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi, Sudan, Syria on numerous occasion without any US boot on ground for support. Some of its replenishment during war came from as far as chezk Republic not USA.

During the war of attrition, Egypt brought the USSR's ground troops and airforce numbering 20000 to fight Israel's Sinai presence. Israel dealt with USSR (Second Most Powerful Country In The World) on air superiority destroying several airplanes and killing their pilots till they ran away. During did not at one time invite US. Even if it did, US would not come.

The $4 Billion US gives to Israel in military aid is not unique. It equally gives Egypt ($3B) and Pakistan ($2). For Israel, the money helps America's ally with significant advantage over Iran an adversary of USA.

Know wetin you dey talk.

This is one of the most accurate information I have come across on this forum.

This information is archived in every nation's intelligence records enimes or foe.

I would like to invite you for a one on one talk because unbiased persons is what is needed for highly sensitive analytical role.

Other sources order than the Nigerian army account confirms he's injured.

Nigerians should gear up for ISWAP because the fact is that they hold no captives and slaves when they advance.

Northern areas that are non Islamic should gear up.

I doubt if this is a genuine information. This particular handle reported this piece of information that occurred last night this morning on Twitter, I checked everywhere and no reputable news outlet reported this. My friends on the island aren't aware that such happened

Something of this magnitude wouldn't have happened in Lagos and it would go unnoticed , it would have been a trending story.

Nairaland pls vet every news before moving them to front-page,

This is more likely to be a fake news emanating from nowhere.

It's not everything that's fake news or should proscribed as fake news.

Lagos have lots of security challenges that you and majority of lagosians aren't aware of.

Did you know there is a crime operations that goes on between epe to Abraham adesanya axis??

It took private security and intelligence operator to unmask that operations because an influential person relative was the victim.

There are nearly 20 million people residing in lagos, so it's a hotbed for any form of crime.

All I can tell you is that the police force is not enough and they are not technically equipped and most resources are channeled towards high profile cases.

My response have been made from an authoritative angle

No nation can control the value of Bitcoin.

China is majorly known as a mining hub because of the cheap energy used in running the computers used by the mining network.

This is the best time to buy, am not representing any interest but stating mere fact..

China is know for controlling everything about their citizens and this is just one of the many things they wanna and must control.

Ok

The last time I visited this thread Gentlepeace was charging 10k for something then and I voiced my opinion.

Now am back and the person is still been spoke about. He must be a very interesting character to be spoken of frequently Or maybe a clout chaser.

hotwax:
where is your statistical data? There are other militants in west waiting for fracas to start. Sunday igboho should be the least of your worries...but trust me, if you want to break Nigeria up today, just kill sunday igboho.

If you want to keep nigeria together, let him carry on with his peaceful protest. When he is tired he go go sit down.

He is not attacking police stations
he is not killing farmers
he is not grabbing lands
he is not installing sharia
he is not kidnapping

right to protest is recognized under human right charters

but common sense is not common. Ordinary IPOB/Unknown gunmen, you never resolve..you want to add sunday igboho wahala to the overstretched nigeria military wahala.

some people no get brain sha...

Like I always say, tell me you call sign during endurance trek along with your camp then we could start a conversation on the statistics of weapons across Nigeria along with the vast array of militancy group that are in infancy to the established ones.

Going forward
One thing you guys fail to realize the DSS is diverse because it's works on intelligence. Meaning locals of each state are recruited in order to conduct effective management of intelligence operations. Mind you everyone comes in with a built in tribal mindset.

As an intelligence outfit just because a director of operations is from one side of the country doesn't mean he's gives out order to suit his vision because of the awareness that personnel come from different background.

You are dealing with intelligent people that can make your operation collapse on its self or can make it a significant success.

The bond holding personnel of diverse background in the DSS is the protection of every Nigerian regardless of class.

Biggest fear and worst nightmare of the agency and it's personnel is the break out of an all out civil war... It's for the reason collectively their is strong believe in dialogue that must be done by constitutional channels.

It's is why any form of divisive elements is always eliminated at infancy stage.

You mentioned north been overran by insurgency which is popular narrative with Nigerians but you failed to realize that every security outfit have their chain of command and theater of operations.

The DSS is the least manned outfit of all security agencies which is the international standard because it's focus is on intelligence.

Their job is to direct intelligence to the appropriate channel, while they hope it's executed in a timely manner.

Their are two occasions I can authoritatively say that intelligence was provided to the NPF on Boko Haram infiltration in ondo state, one out of the two was leaked to the press by unknown officer.

Now take that event and multiple it across the nation, that would show the magnitude of challenges we are dealing it as a nation.

The heavy handedness of operatives in the news couple of years back didn't do justice but you must know there are internal processes that deals with such to prevent it from happening again.

DSS can't be compared to FBI and the rest because we haven't been involved in wars with other nation's in the past.

So every thing happening now is a learning curve that will make it a better agency when things get better.
