US said offering intel on Hamas leaders' whereabouts if Israel drops major Rafah op

[David__77]

The Biden administration has reportedly offered to give Israel “sensitive intelligence” on the whereabouts of senior Hamas leaders if it agrees to hold off on a long-promised major military operation in Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah.

The Washington Post quoted four unnamed sources as saying that the United States “is offering Israel valuable assistance if it holds back, including sensitive intelligence to help the Israeli military pinpoint the location of Hamas leaders and find the group’s hidden tunnels.”

1. So the US had this information and decided it wasn't useful in a war? n/t

2. Sounds like the Israeli authorities know the price for the information.

6. How the info was obtained must be very sensitive stuff we try to not disclose. Leaders are just symbolic at this point.

I would love to see Hamas leadership tried in the International Criminal Court, but Hamas like any terrorist organization will be just as virulent and dangerous with whoever succeeds the current top officers. I am sure Mossad will work diligently to hunt the bastards down and will find them eventually and execute them with or without our help. If I was a Hamas leader I wouldn't sleep in the same place two nights in a row. Unfortunately Israel's current tactics are helping Hamas and similar groups' recruit new members faster than they can kill them.

7. It's a good sign to see that the administration is willing to withhold the information.

I imagine there might be concern about the casualties that may result from providing it.

3. Just throwing this out there....

....(and I won't be responding to any replies)...

...Why don't WE just use that info to covertly behead hamas and stop this whole thing in it's tracks?

[David__77]

4. I do not think that would fundamentally change the situation.

I can understand the perspective.

5. you're thinking the U.S. should start dropping bombs?

or sending in ground troops to Gaza? That's - - interesting ...

8. I know you mean well, but getting involved directly is not a popular choice

I can’t imagine what would happen.

9. Netanyahu wants to continue the assault on Gaza so he can stay in power more than he wants Hamas leaders
