They are using YT shorts. The next video auto populates with something the algorithm thinks you'll watch for 15 seconds and it's usually correct. Its like a slot machine. Quick and easy entertainment that people can lose hours in

It sounds like Israel is mirroring the Iraq or Japan invasion method which means a tear down and rebuild of government that will need to keep promises about launching rockets and other attacks.
