So, roughly 16 years ago I bought a tiny flat. Renting tit for that long would already be more expensive than all the costs of ownership, even assuming that renting cost was constant (it TRIPLED). As a bonus, the flat is worth more than three times of what it was.
So in total, I've paid 1.5x for a flat worth x and now it's worth 3x and I don't have to pay the rent!
I'm not saying the article's author it wrong, just that your mileage might vary.
13,883 civilians died in Ukraine as a result of Russian invasion between 24 Feb. 2022 and 31 July 2025 according to United Nations. It's really easy to Google it.
Sure it would be best to build the tunnels away from civilian infrastructure but there's barely any away-from-civilian-infrastructure places in the Gaza Strip.
What would be even better, IMHO, is if Israel just stopped murdering Gazans.
Are they making 8x more features or the same amount just with more code?
