the front page is now like half articles on this currently, so it's probably time for a megathread because none of us want to keep track of 12 threads on this subject and all the resulting comments. only major subsequent developments (for example, boots on the ground; pronunciations by governments; that sort of stuff) will get their own thread. otherwise please post stuff in here for the time being. any threads not meeting this criteria will be locked and removed. thank you in advance for your cooperation.

What other purpose do you think the trucks barring the route south could serve?

What?

No that’s exactly what they’re for. But there’s no proof in that tweet of who put them there

Who do you think put them there on the coastal road?

I’m sorry is Hamas Aqua-Man now? Wtf does proximity to the ocean have to do with anything?
