Israel-Hamas war: Israeli troops wait for cue to enter Gaza
As Hamas releases more hostages, Israel is thinking long and hard over the appropriate moment to begin their ground offensive into Gaza - but as Sky's Military Analyst Michael Clarke explains, troops can't wait indefinitely.

Mr Clarke with the best reporting.
Whenever I see Clarke I click watch
@@sueyourself5413 Sorry Mr expert, I just like his analysis, and I don't think I am the only one, but thanks for correcting my typo.
guppy
Anyone could do that job, he's reading from a clipboard.
@@gambrydew2059What clipboard? Must be one of those new fangled invisible ones
I'm always impressed by how relatively balanced Mr.Clarke is - first with Ukraine and now here. Always flags when speculating as well.
we’re always amused at how utterly fake the botfarmers posts sound.
Clarke is the very best interpreter
he is talking ridiculous non-sense the people of gaza cannot survive much longer without food and water hamas wants israel to attack...to end the idea of israeli invincibility its likely the israelis are delaying because they know they are going to incur huge losses in the rattenkrieg
He is the best propagandist 😂
@@piuswanyaga8361And what propaganda is he pushing?
Clarke is GCHQ’s Jackanory man.
Will Kay Burley's apology be broadcast after this?
DONT NEGOTIATE
Forget world opinion and GO!
Legendary Clarke with another supreme report.
😂🤣😂🤦🏽♂️🥴🤡
And just like that, Sky forgot about Ukraine.
Amazing isn't it. Ukraine came along which stopped all reporting of Covid in its tracks. Now Palestine has happened which has stopped Ukraine! I wonder what they have planned next.
If a settlement is illegal, surely there is a different name for it
"Someone living" is only a problem for these demons.
The wait before the battle is the most tense.
Well, it was tense, but now is very dull! we have been hearing for over a week that troops are ready to enter Gaza!
An excellent analysis
nice analysis
Love your updates micheal
Stop waiting and go in now.
SKY has already lost credibility with all the times it's been caught lying about basic facts.
@@polymorphism1464 according to sky reports, the ookies are through the russian surovikin line whatever happened to the ooky counteroffensive that must not be talked about ? LOL
@@kwanchan6745the Russian army has been trying to take Kupiansk, Avdiivka and several other villages they are stuck. Ukrainian army sappers are clearing a shtload of mines and they are securing the flanks. In the meantime the Russian army counterattacks and is wiped out of the last defensive line in the Surovikin line that actually was less formidable than the windbreaks in front of it. Hows Kherson Oblast holding having fun there. Enjoy your conscription Ivan.
The whole western media !
Example?
Advice of external information gathering companies might shed some light.
the situation is a chaotic soup..
Israel has just begun giving candy
Never celebrate to early 😂
standing there with diapers on 😂😂😂
LIKE PUTIN😅
I see no mean to have UN for this stance! Maybe we should start being more friendly to buffed ally
Oh no the soldiers will start gossiping, better send them in, they’re bored!
I can't wait for the latest season of the Housewives of Israel
👍👍👍!!!
They have been waiting for 75 year's..
"And at our hotel this morning, there was a coach load of reservists covered in dust, looking for the opportunity for a shower." - Jeremy Bowen, BBC, 26/10/23 Meh. That doesn't sound like an army in top condition for going into Gaza.
Where's the news coverage on the Ukrainian war?
I've been asking that for months, while the US is still shelling out unbelievable amounts of money for it, the "it" has become invisible, minus the vacuum sound on money.
Type “Ukraine war news” into the search, not hard to find
@@seankinsellasean It is hard to find on American media. The stories are not showing up there and have not for months, other than the fights over funding.
Where is it? Look at the past 2 years.
Disappeared. Like all coverage of Covid stopped when Russia invaded Ukraine! Crisis to crisis to crisis...
Don’t let them dictate the tempo.
To hate is easy,to love is hard...
Both are exhausting and expensive.
Remind us of the play The Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare. Try reading the book.
The crazy thing is that the Palestinians have the rights to the shylock lines of "if they cut us do we not bleed"
The IDF have gotten cold feet.
They are going to do like the US current government.Hestitate like giving the weapons needed to win the war in Ukraine.The more it hesitates the higher number of troop casualties.
The Vietnam War meets the Persian Gulf War.
The sh*t meets the fan
No, that was Afghanistan.
They tried to go in. Israeli soldiers and US Special Forces tried to move into Gaza. Care to tell the people how that went?
I think the official report said that the force was "eroded".
@theorncampbell4432 Tucker Carlson had someone for an interview on Gaza and he said Hamas shot US special forces and IDF to pieces. This happened just as they crossed the border with armored vehicles.
@@RazAlGhoul898 There was an early attempt (last week) to insert IDF by helicopter. They didn't make it out of the building the repelled down to. There have been quite a few large skirmishes aong the southern breeches and the town north of Gaza. They're going to figure out that it's not 2003 anymore. IDF is so averse to casualties that they hide the number of deceased IDF troops and security forces to the number of civilians killed, to mask the numbers.
They have jobs they left. Don't get stale. Giving enemy to much time to plan. The element of surprise is gone.
It seems like the public opinion is slowly shifting in this matter
Which way???????
@@MLVL312Pro-Terrorist, unfortunately. People can no longer discern fact from fiction. Boomers and Zoomers are both media illiterate.
away from sympathising with terrorism which is the only logical route@@MLVL312
A tangent way!
Yes it shifted on the 7th October
What he forgot to mention was that the hostage who was released shook the hand of her abductor. She said she was treated very kindly.
😂😂😂
We forget that she was kidnapped from her home, during a massacre of 1300 Israeli citizens.
@@philus012 Yeah, her family and neighbors were slaughtered and burned alive. But she is SOOOO thankful to the person that stole her from them.
@@philus012 apparently
A couple of things. 1. She said when they kidnapped her she got beat up with a stick and her watch and other belonging on her were stolen. 2. She ate 1 pita some cream cheese and a cucumber for an entire day..that's nothing, that's malnourished. 3. Her husband is still kept hostage, she needs to keep him safe. complaining about her captives won't help him.
So we oppose the occupation of Ukraine by Russia but not the occupation of Gaza and West Bank by Israel?
Occupation by whose calendar?
we oppose the occupation of your brain by Retardia
@@divideandrule888 Where is this world's calendar located? What nation's international law?
Iran is also waiting
Wait too long as they might start thinking for themselves. Can't have that now can we?
Actually that would be the opposite of a command structure, so no, it's not a good idea for a successful military and that's why there are court marshals.
Well its fact, any mission readiness exercise/s get tedious after awhile and the troops do wind down and start whinging, I call it ‘the bored soldiers mating call
What an uninformed about the pressure the reserve are, it's not that they complain. These reserve soldier put their life on a hold, they families they have jobs. That's the main point.
The economy has a huge hole in it from all of those people putting jobs on hold.

Occupation of others land is criminal act.
Tell that to Canada & the US (Indians), Australia (Aboriginal), New Zealand (Maori), Brazil etc. (more Indians)... Let's just pull out and give it all back to the 'original' nomad inhabitants who did not develop the land. What people still existing as a distinct group had a large long-lasting kingdom in Israel under King Solomon 3,000 years ago, and did develop their land until the Romans forcibly expelled them in 135AD? When Jews started coming back to their ancestral land in the 1920's they found an undeveloped arid Arab wasteland after centuries of occupation. Thanks Mohammed 😢
Recognizing that Hamas employs extensive tunnel networks underscores the necessity for Israel to master these systems. Strategic reduction of civilian casualties demands the integration of cutting-edge robotics and AI-driven technology into Israel's conflict strategy. Key elements include precise mapping and targeting of tunnel systems. In the realm of navigating unfamiliar caves or tunnels, imperative sophisticated technologies already exist. These innovations encompass state-of-the-art sensors for precise mapping, adaptable locomotion mechanisms for challenging terrains, and integrated AI systems for autonomous real-time decision-making. Furthermore, the integration of tools such as advanced cameras, sensors, and manipulators would significantly enhance the robot's capability to gather information, analyze surroundings, and potentially execute specific tasks in cave environments.
Israel never cared for civilian casualties. If they did, hundreds wouldn't be dead in the West Bank, where Hamas doesn't exist.

The fact the idf is waiting this long, should be very telling. If they really wanted to sack Gaza, they would do it, and they would get it done in under a year, what’s the hold up?
They’re cowards who fight behind fortified walls, they got annihilated by hezbollah in 2006 😂
They are Hebrews , that's the hold up !
They have the advantage of a siege, why not take advantage of that
They are waiting for us troops to get into the area because of the threat from Iran
Jews are scared, they got caught out in their settlements, its ganna be worst in gaza , they know it
What ??
What????
How many settlers do we have in the UK that need deporting.
The Iranian Hostage Crisis lasted 444 Days, can't see the IDF waiting for 444 Days, and they shouldn't.
Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies. Releasing 2 elderly ladies from captivity is compassion and compassion is a neccessity, not politics or a sign of weakness. By the way, remember to leave those back-packs behind before going anywhere, let alone Gaza enclave 😅
The reporting here is wrong, it is designed to make Hamas look scared and weak. Hamas were going to release up to 50 hostages in exchange to hostages that Israel hold, they have an estimated 10'000. One particular hostage that Israel held that Hamas wanted, mysteriously died. The speculation, is that this has caused the breakdown in negotiations for the release of 50. However, i do agree Hamas were very clever here, deciding to release 2 old ladies, not to stall Israel going in, like being reported here, but to instead gain more support from the international community.
Not a good idea going in. Israeli forces are not that good on face to face combat.
Few are, that's why most wars end in attrition.
Yeah because they are cowards and hide behind their weapons
@@allylove21 Like Hamas showed them how to do on Oct 7?
@@TheRadioAteMyTV no like how israel wouldn’t be here today without the USA and their funds. They have nothing but their money. These Israeli soldiers are scared p*ssies. They are only strong because they have expensive military equipment. Take that away, they would be shaking lmfao
@@TheRadioAteMyTV Skip the media focus and look at the actual military raid that took place on Oct 7th. They gave IDF a black eye and a bloody nose and made them look like amateurs while doing it.
Yeah waiting for no oposition to show up...
Compare our fight with terrorists in jk and the fight of Israel in Gaza.. In ours...a little impact on common people. ...but..in Israel..Palsteina...may God save all ... Let peace prevail
Are they waiting for the USA to get another carrier battle group in the Gulf though?
They are waiting US troops
Golda Mier actually had a Palestinian passport from 1921 to 1948 as she was a refugee from Ukraine and fled to Palestine. Subsequently the Zionist ideology made her one of the masterminds of the forced mass expulsions of Palestinians. Not many people know this, but she herself talks about her Palestinian Passport in an interview. She was a war criminal. She also stole the house of a family that was forced out and claimed it as her own. Please note that Zionism is not and shouldn’t be conflated with Judaism. They are different and many Jews oppose Zionism.
Spot on. My family has been a Jew family since the beginning of times and nobody at home believe that the Zionist mouvement reflected us nor a great majority of good Jews.
Why do Palestinians lack substantial international support? "Because they don't have wealth, they don't have power so they don't have rights. It's the way the world works."---Noam Chomsky
This is not ‘Israel-Hamas war’.. tell it like it is.
jude samaria is the real name of that location
It used to be called Pangaea too.
👍👍👍
There are no hostages
Why are they talking like the israelis werent born there too ?
Hamas buckling already. Even muslim Brothers like Egypt dont want them
True and that says a lot. Starting a war then complaining.
They will be in a Rabbit hole as Alice in Wonderland
They are bloodthirsty mongals
they are chickins
This situation of having the IDF not invading Gaza is not sustainable, the economy will wither if so many young people with jobs aren't working for too long.
This news was 5 days ago. Today his opinion is irrelevant.
Based michael clarke !
Is Ukraine's counteroffensive at the Azov Sea yet?
Al wadi in gaza used to be called River Besor in Torah n Bible b4 illegal occupation of ottoman empire. David went from Ziklag and got his captives back.
😮
waiting and waiting, in the end it's all just fear and return to Barack.
Because they will lose, and can’t protect the rest of the Jewish population if they fail
Has sky news forgot about Ukraine?
This has a higher priority with the large amount of civilian casualties tbf
Israeli soldiers prepare to enter the shower room
Israel is changing the tactics from classical conditioning to operant conditioning, and they are out from any other option and Israel is doomed to lose big time
Does Clark have any ingenious insight into sweeping Ukrainian victories or intelligent insight into last year's inevitable collapse of the Russian armed forces. I can't believe people take anything that man says seriously after his assessments of Russia running out of everything from microchips to tanks.
Is there a West bank bank?
It is hidden in denial
All the cashiers are occupied
Yes, it's where Jesus saves.
oddly enough, it's an Israeli bank and the currency in the west bank is the Israeli Shekel!

Free 75 Yrs of Occupation by Israel again Palestine
10 to 1 bet...
Here come the Clarkey shill bots....
Are they the same shill bots who say Ukraine is winning"?
😯
👍
Why is Israel causing problems in West Bank? is Hamas there?
We are not afraid buddy boy
Good report. Not least, the US will push to stall the official entry of the ground troops because it will result in huge casualties on both sides. This will make it hard (even) for the US to continue their position within the international community. And history is replete with examples of sophisticated military machines entering urban environments against a determined defender who will grind it and being completely exhausted after a long campaign.
The US likes terrorists… remember Osama Bin Laden… Joe wants to give Hamas lots of money. He gave 6 billion to Iran. Obama gave 600 million to the Muslim brotherhood.
Nothing about Ukraine 🤔
Russia’s right to defend itself ?
Why Israel targeting innocent people
Is Hamas innocent
@@Cherish1056is Israel innocent?
@@conjugatemethod israel is more valuable and productive in the world than Palestinians. Israel made a desert a haven without oil. That’s how good they are. Great minds in the world include jewish people. On the other hand, Palestinians are dependent on foreign aid. What can they offer the world? Even muslim countries do not want to accept them. That’s the truth. I wish israel victory and they will be victorious

poor old mickey, having to switch out the GCHQ propaganda scripts for Ukraine, in exchange for this one must have him all confuddled.
Il n’est pas nécessaire d’être musulman pour soutenir la Palestine. Il suffit d’être un être humain. Dieu nous a promis la victoire et Dieu ne rompt pas sa promesse.
