In the shattered neighbourhoods of Khan Younis and Deir el-Balah in the Gaza Strip, the roar of Israeli drones and the concussive thud of controlled demolitions are daily reminders that the war has never really ended.
Despite a “ceasefire” in place since October, families continue to pull bodies from the rubble. According to local medical sources, 828 Palestinians have been killed since the “truce” began. Now, families in Gaza are bracing for a renewed offensive as Israeli officials threaten to tear up the fragile agreement to force a surrender.
You never hear about casualties on the Israeli side.
There’s a reason for that.
You can’t resume what you never stopped. Likewise, it’s not actually a ceasefire if you never cease firing.
And of course, it was always a one-sided genocidal massacre, not a war.
It never stopped killing people
force disarmerment
Current standard for disarming is to eliminate Iran’s ability to make medium range artillery. I’m not sure what that would even look like. You’d need to do to Iran what the US failed to do to Yemen.
MRBMs aren’t “artillery”. Yemen has no such production capabilities; they get their weapons from external sources.
In operational terms it would resemble:
- sustained strikes on production and assembly infrastructure
- interdiction of supply chains (materials, electronics, propellant precursors)
- persistent targeting of launch capacity and dispersal systems
- intelligence pressure on rebuild cycles
