Due to the severity of the situation and the fast flowing news cycle, we have decided to create a general megathread for discussion regarding the conflict.
Informal/Satirical news sources are not allowed on the main feed of the community but you are free to post them in this thread.
Please remember that all community and instance rules apply to this thread hence keep is civil.
That's the part that really doesn't make sense to me.
There's literally an active military base RIGHT THERE. It's literally based in Re'im. There's no way the IDF could be that incompetent. It's not like forces had to be deployed from elsewhere in the country.
Supposedly, they had another location in mind but it fell through so they had to use Re'im with two days notice.
