Israeli fighter pilots returning from air defense missions during the 12-day war with Iran were routinely authorized to unload their leftover munitions on the Gaza Strip, according to a 2 July report by Maariv.
The move, initially a pilot-led initiative to โassistโ Israeli ground forces in Khan Yunis and northern Gaza, was quickly expanded by Air Force Commander Tomer Bar into a daily operational policy across all squadrons.
The report outlines how, during the operation, pilots assigned to intercept missiles and drones launched from Iran were equipped not only with air-to-air missiles but also with air-to-surface munitions.
After completing their Iran-related missions, pilots contacted Gaza operation control rooms and offered to drop remaining bombs on designated targets in the enclave.
Air Force officials embraced the initiative. Within hours, the ad hoc proposal became standard practice, with squadrons instructed to coordinate with ground units before landing and to strike Gaza โHamas targetsโ on their return.
Military officials described the program as a โforce multiplierโ that allowed the air force to expand bombing raids in Gaza without additional resources.
โInstead of bouncing planes off the ground for an attack policy, planes that were already in the air carried out the missions,โ an Israeli Air Force source told Maariv. โIt saved a great deal of resources and increased the Air Forceโs capabilities.โ
The result was what the report describes as โwaves of powerful air strikesโ on the strip, far removed from the Iranian front. According to the Israeli army, dozens of fighter jets participated daily, each releasing surplus munitions over the besieged enclave before landing.
While presented as a resource-efficient strategy, the practice effectively turned Gaza into a secondary front in a war that had no operational connection to the territory.
The attacks were directed based on instructions from Israeli ground forces already operating in Khan Yunis and northern Gaza, amplifying the daily bombardment of areas already under siege.
Israeli officials described the move as a resource-saving measure, but the result was intensified bombing of Gaza by jets returning from unrelated missions
@cbrooklyn112 the driveway has really needed to be replaced since we moved in 27 years ago. I just keep putting the $200 patch on it by sealing it at least once a year. There have always been other projects that have taken precedence.
@cbrooklyn112 already spent a few hours a couple of days ago using trowel grade crack filler to fill in most of the large areas/cracks, now itโs just putting the tar down on top.
my father did it for decades. in his last decade he had a service come out to do it. So if you tire of it make sure you know there are services. Also cement is a satisfying alternative.
@scottdhansen as I said, Iโve wanted to replace it w/concrete for years. Unfortunately the $10k investment in it has always been overshadowed by other priorities (i.e. furnace/AC, plumbing, water heater, interior remodels, etc.) as long as I can drive to my garage (oh yeah, garage replacement happened 15 years ago too) I can keep patching it. Winters here are rough, so eventually I am sure Iโll need to do it.
I know the gulp I did when replacing mine but it was a joke. Having the damn garage in the backyard added an extra run of concrete that ate up a shit ton of capital. Iโve too have no end of stuff on the capital expenditure list to sort and prioritize.
News story this AM on the local broadcast, Independence Day cookouts are more expensive this year. How much? โAlmost 2% for a group of 10โ. But this amount was not stated until the very end. They spent the time saying how much the price burgers/beef or brats have have gone up.
So NOW they want to tell us how inflation is affecting us. But under 4 years of Biden when inflation was running much higher (forgive me, Iโm too lazy to go look up the amount) it was never talked about.

This study investigates the association between speakers' personal attributes, such as political stance or military experience, and their variable pronunciations of Iraq/Iran, as elicited through a rapid anonymous survey. For both target items, speakers' choice of variant appears to be associated not with political affiliation but with two other factors: ability to speak a second language and military service. English speakers who report being able to speak a foreign language are more likely to employ a variant more aligned with the source language, [irษ:k]/[irษ:n], while those with a record of military service tend toward the Americanized variants, [ajrรฆk]/ [ajrรฆn]. These results suggest that while specific variants might index political attitude in contexts where the construction of a particular political identity is desirable, in the absence of such a context, speakers' choice of variant is governed primarily by experiential factors.

On July 3, 1863, the Battle of Gettysburg reached its climax, with 140,000 troops facing each other on the battlefield. From Culpโs Hill to the fields south of town, Day 3โs battlesโculminating in Pickettโs Chargeโproduced over 15,000 casualties, deciding the battleโs outcome. Leeโs Confederates staked everything on breaking Meadeโs Union line, while the Army of the Potomac fought to hold the high ground.
At dawn on July 3rd, Meadeโs 85,000 Union troops fortified their fishhook line along Cemetery Hill, Culpโs Hill, and Cemetery Ridge, bolstered by II, III, and XII Corps. Meade anticipated a Confederate attack, focusing on defense. Lee, with 65,000 men, held Seminary Ridge and Gettysburg, his army battered but resolute.
Frustrated by Day 2โs failures, Lee planned a massive assault on the Union center, led by Longstreet, with Pickettโs fresh division, while Ewell renewed attacks on Culpโs Hill and Stuartโs cavalry probed the Union lines to the rear. Both commanders braced for a decisive confrontation under the sweltering July heat.
At 4:00 AM, Union XII Corps, under Brig. Gen. George S. Greene, launched a counterattack to reclaim Culpโs Hill trenches lost to Johnsonโs Confederates on July 2nd.
Over 10,000 Union troops, backed by artillery, blasted Ewellโs brigadesโSteuartโs and Danielโsโin a seven-hour slugfest. By 11:00 AM, relentless Union assaults, led by regiments like the 137th New York, drove the Confederates off the hill, securing the Union right. The fighting, marked by heavy musketry and cannon fire, cost over 2,000 casualties, ending Leeโs hopes of turning Meadeโs flank and shifting his focus to the Union center.
Around noon, Confederate cavalry under Maj. Gen. J.E.B. Stuart, 6,000 strong, clashed with Union cavalry under Brig. Gen. David M. Gregg east of Gettysburg at Rummelโs Farm. Lee aimed to disrupt Union lines, but Greggโs 5,000 troopers, including Custerโs brigade, stood firm. Custer rallied the 1st Michigan, shouting, โCome on, you Wolverines!โ
After hours of mounted and dismounted fighting, and about 500 casualties, Stuartโs advance was halted. Securing Meadeโs rear and foiling the Confederate flanking maneuver.
Late on July 3, Union cavalry under Brig. Gen. Elon Farnsworth, part of Kilpatrickโs division, launched a doomed charge against Longstreetโs right flank south of Big Round Top. Ordered to disrupt Confederate lines, Farnsworthโs 300 troopers faced Lawโs infantry and artillery across rocky terrain.
Around 5:00 PM, the 1st Vermont and others charged, only to be cut down by rifle volleys and canister fire. Farnsworth fell, and his brigade lost over 100 men in minutes. The futile attack, criticized as reckless, had little impact but highlighted the dayโs relentless violence.
At 1:00 PM, 150 Confederate cannons, stretching along Seminary Ridge, unleashed a thunderous two-hour bombardment on the Union center at Cemetery Ridge. The barrage, meant to soften Meadeโs line, sent shells screaming into II Corpsโ positions under Maj. Gen. Winfield S. Hancock. Eighty Union guns, led by Col. Freeman McGilvery, replied, cloaking the field in smoke. Despite the deafening roar, Union troops, sheltered behind stone walls and earthworks, suffered minimal losses.
The artillery duel, one of the warโs largest, set the stage for Leeโs climactic assault, as both sides braced for the decisive moment, Pickettโs Charge.
At 3:00 PM, 12,500 ConfederatesโPickettโs, Pettigrewโs, and Trimbleโs divisionsโemerged from Seminary Ridge for Pickettโs Charge. Advancing a mile across open fields, they faced a storm of Union artillery from Cemetery Ridge, led by Lt. Alonzo Cushingโs battery.
Hancockโs II Corps, including the 69th Pennsylvania and 1st Minnesota, unleashed devastating rifle volleys. Pickettโs Virginians, with Armisteadโs brigade, breached the Angleโs stone wall, but Union counterattacks, led by Col. George Stannardโs Vermonters, crushed the assault. Over 6,000 Confederates fell, including Armistead, in a catastrophic defeat.
Day 3โs battles cemented Union victory. Culpโs Hillโs recapture secured the right, while cavalry fights east and south, led by Custer and Gregg, blocked the Confederate threats. Pickettโs Charge, a disastrous failure, cost Lee 6,000 men, with total Day 3 casualties nearing 15,000โ8,000 Confederate, 7,000 Union. Meadeโs line held firm. Leeโs dream of victory collapsed, forcing a retreat. The Union, bloodied but triumphant, claimed the field, setting the stage for the warโs turning point.
Leeโs army, with 28,000 losses, would retreat the next day, July 4th. Meade, with 23,000 casualties, did not pursue, sparking debate. Critics, including Lincoln, argued he missed a chance to crush Lee. Defenders cite Meadeโs exhausted troops, low supplies, and Leeโs still-formidable army, arguing caution preserved the victory.
Gettysburg shifted the warโs tide, but Meadeโs restraint, praised by some and scorned by others, left the Confederacyโs in tact dragging the war on for two more years.
