What is really happening in Ghaza?

Ramzy Baroud believes that Israel does not tell the truth about what is happening in Ghaza, he believes Hamas who put out videos on Rumble.com saying they have killed more Israelis and destroyed far more tanks than Israel admit.

On the other hand, Brian Berletic notes that the videos of the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) killing many of the 1,200 Israelis killed on 7 October might be fake, as well as the Hamas videos showing the destruction of Israeli tanks, so probably Israel, with the strongest military in the Middle East, are slowly destroying Hamas at a cost of about 160 dead IOF members for 5,000 or more neutralised Hamas terrorists, along with the destruction of most of the Hamas tunnel network.

Reading both Baroud and Berletic, I can't figure out which one is the more believable.

But the fact that Israel asked for a week-long ceasefire to analyse and modify their strategy and tactics, then resumed their attack on Hamas for three weeks, and are now asking for another week-long ceasefire would seem to indicate that things are not going all that well for the IOF in their efforts to destroy Hamas. They had one obvious victory in Beirut. Hezbollah have threatened retaliation, but, again, I read that in the 2006 war, Israel destroyed the Hezbollah forces and bought themselves a few years peace with no threat from Hezbollah, and I also heard from another source that Israel lost many troops and a lot of equipment and failed to neutralise Hezbollah or remove them from the part of Lebanon adjacent to Israel as the Israeli spokespersons claimed Israel had done.

In any case, Israel have promised to destroy Beirut for starters, and then most of the rest of Lebanon if Hezbollah try to intervene in support of Hamas. So it is not clear what, if anything, Hezbollah will do now.

Israel and the US both say the bombing at the 4 year anniversary of General Suleimani's death from a US drone strike, a bombing that killed more than 100, was by Iranians who dislike the current regime, neither Israel nor the US had anything to do with it. The Western establishment media all accept whatever version of reality is promulgated by the US and Israel, but not everyone agrees, many figure Israel, with or without US help, managed to set up the bombs that killed so many at the 4-year memorial. But how can anyone be certain who was responsible for the bombs that were remotely detonated at the memorial?

Meanwhile, today's rumour is that the US are in negotiations with some African countries to take all the Ghazan women and children: Israel do not want to be forced to kill all of them. Twenty three thousand Philistines from Ghaza are dead, and all those who might have been members of Hamas must die, but Israel and the US would like all the rest of the women and children to go to Africa so Israel will not be forced to kill them all in self defence.
