I just wanted to share this still of a Yassin 105 point blank in front of a Merkava tank. Yassin 105 is a Gaza made RPG, costs around 500 $ to make and it's used to destroy or incapacitate the IOF's 4 million $ Merkava tanks (and other armoured vehicles). You can call that weapon good value for money.

And this is the tweet where you can see the action

@palestine That's a fucking beautiful photo. Bet those tankers don't even know they are being gunned-BOOM!

Note that many Merkavas HAVE been knocked out by homegrown munitions in Gaza.

In this case, the hull's frontal armor but the turret's side armor faces the shooter. Just right of the center of the turret as presented here is where I would aim at this close range unless the balls and chains defending the "shot trap" between the turret and hull are missing.

A shot at a track will easily stop the tank in place, and sooner or later the crew then has to get out under fire.

@palestine No evidence in the video that the munition penetrated the tank's armor and other protective systems. Israel has something like 600 of the Mark IV and thousands of earlier variants. Hamas is not going to run Israel out of tanks with RPG clones and IEDs. .

@palestine I'm not sure what you're trying to convince me of, firstly. The idea that Hamas will repulse Israel from the Gaza strip through force of arms is laughable at this point. In deaths alone, Israel is probably trading at 25:1 rates with Hamas fighters and non-lethal Israeli casualties get treated to a standard than Hamas can't come close to matching. They can exact a price for continued Israeli presence in the strip, but it isn't much of one.

I just don't see a future where some guerrilla style urban war against the IOF results in such a steep loss in Israeli operational capacities that they are forced into leaving for reasons having to do with manpower, lack of equipment or munitions. If there is a withdrawal, it will be for political/economic reasons.

From today's Mondoweiss "Israel recognizes the death of 890 Israeli soldiers, policemen and intelligence officers and the injury of at least 5,065 others since October 7.**** "
"These figures are released by the Israeli military, showing the soldiers whose names "were allowed to be published"
In other words, their numbers are BS. I agree with you, the war will stop for Israel's internal issues, i.e. the implosion of Israel as a colonial entity, for a variety of reasons

@palestine More than 300 of those were basically incurred during the October 7 attack.

On the flip side, you've got 45k+ Palestinians officially dead and a much higher wounded/casualty ratio.

Hamas may not have great difficulties finding volunteers to run at a tank with an RPG round in hand after what Israel has done to them, but such actions are simply not militarily effectual at this point.

Netanyahu has not achieved his goal of defeating Hamas.
Similarly, he hasn't achieved his goal of defeating Hezbollah, invading South Lebanon and returning settlers to the Northern occupied territory.
Hamas may not win the war but their presence and resistance is preventing Netanyahu from winning his war. This is critically important.
Btw, a number of Qassam videos end with vehicles being towed away and evac helicopters rescuing the wounded. That's always a result IMO
