    This is terrifying to me. The only way to ramp up war and also remove troops is to increase remote airstrikes. Are they going to nuke Gaza?

      They would never irradiate land they want to occupy.

      I think more likely they want to expand and land grab Lebanon and the West Bank.

      How many nukes does the Zionist entity have? They might be saving them for Tehran...

        Israel is also generally understood to have nuclear weapons but does not acknowledge it, maintaining a policy of deliberate ambiguity. Israel is estimated to possess somewhere between 75 and 400 nuclear warheads.

      Are they going to nuke Gaza?

      They want the land, so that's unlikely. Not that the more traditional bombing methods are going to leave Gaza much less uninhabitable, but at the very least I'm assuming they don't want fallout spilling into Tel Aviv every time the wind blows the wrong way.

      I assume they're going back to the "drone patrols that kill anyone still moving" strategy, to effectively deter anyone from migrating back up north. Also, they'll likely be constricting food, water, and fuel into south Gaza in order to force more and more people into Egypt. Then they'll be pivoting troops and artillery to the West Bank and Lebanon, presumably to extend their proxy war with Iran.
