Hamas War Crimes: Terrorist in Civvies Hides RPG under Blanket, Terrorist Tells Gazan “I’ll Place a Bomb Between You and Your Wife.”   By Richard Abelson

Jan. 1, 2024 1:40 pm – The Israeli Army released a video seized from a terrorist’s iPhone documenting how Hamas hides among the civilian population.  A man in the video claimed to have eliminated 3 Merkava tanks. When a civilian complained about an IED near his house, a Hamas terrorist threatened to “place the bomb between him and his wife.”

Over the past week, the IDF’s 401st Brigade has been operating against the Daraj Tuffah Battalion in the northern Gaza Strip, Arutz Sheva reports. IDF soldiers from the Shaked Battalion encountered several terrorists and engaged in a firefight, killing the terrorists.

While scanning the building, soldiers found a camera belonging to one of the terrorists who was killed, with footage showing Hamas’ operational methods, including the hiding of an RPG under a blanket by a terrorist who disguised himself as a civilian in order to attack IDF forces, Arutz Sheva reports. The terrorist claimed to have destroyed three IDF Merkava tanks, and he and the cameraman thanked Allah for their success.

Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists were interrogated by the IDF’s Unit 504 on how the terror group makes cynical use of Gazan civilians to support terror, Arutz Sheva reported.

Hamas operative Zohadi Ali Zahadi Shahin recounted how they had planted an IED near a family residence.

The father said, “Man, how do you plant explosives by the door? If it explodes, my children and I will be gone.”

The Hamas operative replied, “If you don’t like it, get out of here, it’s none of your business.”

The father said to the Hamas operative, “How is this none of my business, man? These are my children. This is not ok.”

Then the Hamas operative told the father, “This is the bomb. I’ll place it even if you don’t like it. I’ll place it between you and your wife.”

 

Israel Supreme Court overturns key part of controversial judicial reform   By Madeleine Hubbard

The 8-7 majority decision overturns a law meant to prevent judges from overturning government decisions they deem to be unreasonable.

January 1, 2024 – Israel’s Supreme Court on Monday struck down a key part of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s controversial judicial reform plan.

The 8-7 majority decision overturns a law meant to prevent judges from overturning government decisions they deem to be unreasonable. Additionally, in a 12-3 decision, the Israeli Supreme Court decided that they had the authority to review basic laws and intervene in “exceptional cases” where the Knesset, or Israeli parliament,  may exceed its authority.

The high court said Monday on X, formerly Twitter, that the portion of the law that was overturned “causes severe and unprecedented harm to the core characteristics of Israel as a democratic State.”

Discussions involving the judicial reform plan were put on pause after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, which killed 1,200 people and resulted in the kidnapping of about 240 others.

MK Itamar Ben-Gvir, a conservative politician who supported the judicial reform, said that the timing of the court’s decision would “weaken” the spirit of the soldiers who are fighting in Gaza.

“The High Court’s ruling is illegal, and includes the annulment of a basic law in a precedent manner, in the absence of a source of legal authority, while conflicting the interests of the judges,” he also wrote on X. “This is a dangerous, anti-democratic event – and at this time, above all, a judgment that harms Israel’s war effort against its enemies.”

[Ed.:  How unreasonable is that!  IINO’s oligarchical “gang of thugs”, (*)  the (not-very) ‘Supreme Court’ has once again declared that what the elected government of the people decides, may be overruled at their discretion.  Israel calls itself “The only democracy in the Middle East”.  But how is it a democracy, when the elected government gets overruled by a self appointed leftist gang?  It would be more accurate for IINO to say that it is ‘not the only oligarchy in the Middle East’.]

IDF Document Warns the Next Major Attack Will Come from Jordan and Syria   By David Israel

19 Tevet 5784 – December 31, 2023 – Hakol Hayehudi on Sunday revealed a new document issued by the Home Front Command detailing the dangers facing the State of Israel on the eastern border and raises the concern that all of Hezbollah’s activity in the north is only intended to distract from the real attack that will come from the east.

Using only known sources, the document details the deployment of Iran’s forces in Syria and raises the concern that the Jordanian army is also preparing to attack from the east.

 

REVEALED: Eyewitness testimony to acts of rape by Hamas terrorists from the October 7th massacre.

 

What Hamas Did to the Girls and Women in Gaza   BY HUGH FITZGERALD

DEC 30, 2023 2:00 PM – The full horror of what happened to them is now coming out. It is just what you expected. What is unexpected is that it was The New York Times, so often unfair to Israel, that published this detailed account. More on the rapes, tortures, and murders of Israeli girls and women on October can be found here: “In harrowing detail, NYT reports on weaponization of rape, sexual violence on Oct. 7,” Times of Israel, December 29, 2023:

In a comprehensive, horrifying exposé published on Thursday [Dec. 28], The New York Times detailed the systematic sexual violence against Israeli women and girls employed by Palestinian terrorists during Hamas’s unprecedented October 7 rampage through southern Israel.

The two-month investigation includes interviews with more than 150 witnesses, medical personnel, first responders, soldiers, rape counselors, and government officials, along with the scanning of video footage, photographs and GPS data from cell phones.

The piece begins with the description of a harrowing video that circulated widely in the days after Hamas’s monstrous assault on southern Israel that Saturday morning. The footage, filmed in the early hours of October 8, shows the partially charred remains of a woman whose face is burned beyond recognition, and who is naked from the waist down, legs spread, her black dress hiked up. Her body is lying beside a car that was set alight on Route 232, which runs parallel to the Gaza Strip, where many people trying to flee the outdoor Supernova festival near Kibbutz Re’im were massacred by Hamas terrorists. Some 360 of the 1,200 people slaughtered that day were from the rave.

[Ed.: How could these men have done these things?  It’s really very simple: Moslem men have a unique type of misogyny stemming from a deep-seeded gynophobia.  They are so threatened by women, that they subordinate them to the level of chattel.  This is why little girls are so much less threatening!  Even Mohammad himself married 9-year old Aisha, so it’s okay for grown men to take little girls.  The men then aspire to attain their 72 virgins if they can manage to die for Allah while killing non-believers.  Their Koran teaches them that non-moslem women are to be raped and murdered (either one can come first).  This is how Islam provides a pressure-release valve for their male inferiority complex.  It’s a very evil and sick ‘religionOkay, you may go vomit now…]

 

Settler violence? MKs demand answers from President Biden   Israel National News

A group of MKs has written to US President Joe Biden, challenging the data behind his statement on ‘settler violence.’

Dec 31, 2023, 12:23 AM (GMT+2) – The lobby against delegitimization, led by MK Ariel Kallner (Likud), sent a letter Saturday to US President Joe Biden, asking the basis for his statements regarding “settler violence.”

The MKs noted that incidents of violence by Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria are relatively few when compared to acts of violence by Palestinian Authority Arabs against them. They also noted that the scale of incidents perpetrated by residents of Judea and Samaria is relatively minor when compared to other societies.

A total of 23 MKs signed the letter, representing several parties. “As members of the Knesset, we, like you, condemn violence against innocents,” the letter begins.

Related articles:

“We share the goal of a struggle against violence, but our efforts may not abandon facts or truth. In consideration of this, and to be more effective partners in the fight against violence, it is important for us to receive the sources upon which you based yourself.”

“Settler violence is a modern blood libel carried out by delegitimizing organizations like B’Tselem and Breaking the Silence, funded by millions from foreign powers. We all condemn violence, but this is a combination of outright lies, manipulations of statistics, and baseless claims, all with the goal of defaming the settler community and paving the way to a Palestinian state, as has recently been revealed in documents from the New Israel Fund. We must stop this blood libel.

“The settlers of Judea and Samaria have, for years, been subject to attacks by the Arab society that support to a large degree the October 7th massacre. Additionally, these pioneers are even today at the front in Gaza and in the north. This has been expressed, to our sorrow, in the large number of casualties. At this time, we must stand beside the settlers and not allow delegitimizing agents, who also slander IDF soldiers, to besmirch them.”

“We would be happy to receive the President’s answer and hope that the data upon which he based his statements will be thoroughly checked,” Kallner commented.

[Ed.:  It’s obvious that Joe Biden has been listening to too much NPRNo wonder he has it reversed!!]

 

IDF soldiers in Gaza suspected infected with leishmania  Israel National News

Several cases of the disease, which is spread by insect bites, have been found in staging areas around Gaza.

Dec 31, 2023, 8:33 AM (GMT+2) – Dozens of IDF soldiers have been diagnosed with leishmania due to sandfly bites, according to Maariv.

According to the report, the soldiers suffer from welts or skin lesions and we’re directed to a unit doctor and expert dermatologist in a hospital, who diagnosed the disease. Recovery from leishmania takes a relatively long period of several weeks.

It was also reported that some of the soldiers had been withdrawn from operational activity due to their condition.

An IDF statement commented: “All IDF units are undergoing different treatments to prevent spread of leishmania among the troops. In this context, information packets on the subject have been distributed and insect repellent devices issued to soldiers in field units. Any area in which mosquitoes or soldiers with insect bites were reported has undergone preventative environmental treatment.”

“All those suffering from suspected symptoms are checked by a military dermatologist, given appropriate treatment, and at need, are sent to a dedicated leishmania clinic. The IDF has a limited supply of leshcutan cream, which was taken out of production over the last year, and in the future will provide treatment with a similar product that will offer alternative treatment. Generally speaking, leishmania does not prevent continued operation of the soldiers affected. Complicated cases are diagnosed individually by a dermatologist.”

 

Report: Indictment against Hamas to be largest since Eichmann   Israel National News

Israeli investigators and prosecutors are building a case against Hamas terrorists similar to the one against Nazi leader Adolf Eichmann.

Dec 31, 2023, 10:56 AM (GMT+2) – The Wall Street Journal reports that Israeli investigators and prosecutors are compiling an indictment against the terrorists that carried out the October 7th massacre comparable to the case against Adolf Eichmann.

According to the reports, Israel is collecting numerous testimonies, including of serious sexual assault, rape, the burning of children, and the amputation of limbs by Hamas on October 7th. Israeli sources estimate that if such a case can be assembled, it will serve as the basis for severe punishments for the terrorists that have been captured alive.

According to the report, Israel’s investigation is expected to yield a trial that would be the country’s most significant since the early 1960s, when Israel captured, tried, and hanged former Nazi official Adolf Eichmann for his central role in the Holocaust.

“The state of Israel has never before dealt with crimes and an investigation on this scale,” said Roi Sheindorf, former deputy to the attorney general. “This will be one of the most important trials to take place in Israel.”

The Israel Police are investigating claims of armed militants who we captured, camera footage, social media, and material captured in Gaza. These materials are being processed by the Israel Police and the state prosecutor and will serve as the basis for a case intended to bring the perpetrators to justice as soon as possible.

 

Binyamin Gov. to Biden: Discard perilous idea of a Palestinian state   Israel National News

Binyamin Council Gov. Israel Ganz pens letter to US president warning that continued push for 2-State solution will lead to more bloodshed.

Dec 31, 2023, 2:43 PM (GMT+2) – Binyamin Regional Council Governor Israel Ganz addressed a letter last week to US President Joe Biden calling on the President to cease advocating for the creation of a Palestinian Arab state in Judea and Samaria in the aftermath of the Hamas massacre of October 7.

“As the Governor of the largest regional council in Judea or Samaria, and in fact all of Israel, I find it a rare occasion to address the esteemed leader of the United States and the free world. However, I must address the time that Your Honor has devoted to an issue that directly impacts the lives of hundreds of thousands of Israelis, including those under my jurisdiction and, by extension, the entire State of Israel. The war between Israel and Gaza did not commence on October 7, 2023; rather, it has been unfolding over the past few years, particularly in Judea and in Samaria. It is no secret that the Palestinians use the same language as Hamas with regard to Israel, as expressed by the Palestinian Authority leadership, their educational systems and media outlets,” Ganz’s letter begins.

“Regrettably, we forewarned of such events. The recent appalling massacre of Jews by Palestinians near Gaza was not unprecedented in its nature. We have witnessed similar acts of terrorism in the past, such as the tragic murder five months ago when four young boys enjoying lunch in a restaurant were mercilessly slaughtered, akin to the residents of our southern kibbutzim.

“It is imperative to recognize that the axis of evil threatening us is not confined to southern Israel or to Judea and Samaria; it extends beyond, posing a threat to Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and all who consider themselves members of the free world. This malevolent force, which currently attacks us in our region, has intentions that stretch beyond our borders to places like New York, London, Berlin, and Pennsylvania Avenue,” he wrote.

He noted that repeating the mistakes of the Gaza Disengagement, which allowed Hamas to rise to power, would put Israel’s major population centers at the same risk Israel’s southern communities have faced for the last 15 years. “Respectfully, advocating for the outdated and failed concept of an independent Palestinian state in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza inadvertently fortifies this axis of evil, whose ultimate goal is the destruction of the State of Israel. The establishment of a terrorist state in Gaza, a mere 15 kilometers from Tel Aviv, signifies the impending demise of Israel and, subsequently, serves as a direct threat to other Western countries.”

“Mr. President, the nation of Israel stands for eternity, and the enduring connection between the land and its people is deeply rooted in our history. The recent return of our people to our homeland aligns with the ancient prophecies of the bible, and I extend an invitation for you to recognize and join us in achieving our shared goals of a prosperous and peaceful Israel,” he said.

PM Netanyahu: The war is at its peak – and will last many more months   Hezki Baruch

‘We will continue to fight until we have eliminated Hamas and freed all our hostages,’ PM Netanyahu promises.

Dec 30, 2023, 9:15 PM – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday evening held a press conference, providing updates on the war against Hamas in Gaza.

“The war will last many more months,” Netanyahu said. “We will continue fighting until we have eliminated Hamas and released all of our hostages. We will not cease our efforts to bring back our hostages. We will not agree with Gaza being a source which encourages terror. We will ensure that Gaza will no longer threaten Israel.”

“Every place I go, I hear from all sectors of the nation – continue, don’t stop. I hear it from the families of the fallen heroes, from the injured, and from the commanders and the brave soldiers who I meet in the field. Everyone tells me the same thing: Continue until victory,” Netanyahu said.

“In order to complete the goals, we need more time. We are working all the time with determination and strength, while doing the best to ensure the safety of our fighters.

“We are executing heavy fire and we are doing everything to ensure the safety of our forces. Our forces are fighting with force and using new methods above and below ground – we have the upper hand. We have thus far eliminated over 8,000 terrorists.”

When asked about the tensions on Israel’s northern border, Netanyahu said, “If Hezbollah expands the fighting, it will absorb hits that it did not dream of, and so will Iran. We will act in every way until we bring security back to the residents of the north.

When asked about Iran, Netanyahu said, “The Iranian aggression is not only directed towards Israel but towards the entire free world. We are acting against Iran all the time, in every place and in every way – and I will not go into detail.”
