World War III Watch: Yemen Officially Declares War on Israel, Launches Large-Scale Ballistic and Drone Strikes   By Jim Hft

Oct. 31, 2023 2:40 pm – In an alarming development, the Yemeni Armed Forces have officially declared war on Israel.

Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces and also the spokesperson for Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, announced that they have launched massive military strikes against Israeli targets in the “occupied territories.”

In response to the missile strikes, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have been on high alert. They reported the successful interception of a surface-to-surface missile in the vicinity of the Red Sea.

“The [Israeli Air Force] intercepted a surface-to-surface missile in the area of the Red Sea. This is the first operational interception by the Arrow Aerial Defense System since the beginning of the war. An additional aerial threat was successfully intercepted by IAF fighter jets in the area this morning. No infiltrations into Israeli territory were identified.”

 

Egypt’s Prime Minister Says the Country is Ready to “Sacrifice Millions of Lives” to Prevent Palestinian Settlement on Its Territory  (VIDEO)   By Jim Hft

Oct. 31, 2023 6:40 pm – In a recent visit to al-Arish in northern Sinai, Egypt’s Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly made a bold declaration that NO Palestinian refugees will be accepted into Egypt.

Accompanied by government officials and public figures, Madbouly said, “We are prepared to sacrifice millions of lives to ensure that no one encroaches upon our territory.”

Setting The Record Straight: Part III: “‘From The River To The Sea, Palestine Will Be Free’”   By Alex Grobman PhD.

20 Tammuz 5783 – July 9, 2023

*Editor’s Note: This is the third installment in ‘Setting The Record Straight,’ the most recent series of articles from Jewish Press Online contributor, Alex Grobman, PhD

“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” is a mantra often heard on university campuses throughout the US, Canada, Australia, and Europe. It is a call for the total destruction of the Jewish state since the borders of Israel are between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.” [1]

Eliminating Israel is exactly what the Hamas Covenant 1988 proclaims in Article Eleven: “The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgement Day. It, or any part of it, should not be squandered: it, or any part of it, should not be given up. Neither a single Arab country nor all Arab countries, neither any king nor president, nor all the kings and presidents, neither any organization nor all of them, be they Palestinian or Arab, possess the right to do that. Palestine is an Islamic Waqf land consecrated for Moslem generations until Judgement Day. This being so, who could claim to have the right to represent Moslem generations till Judgement Day?” [2]

How will destroying Israel be achieved in order to establish an Islamic state? Only through a holy war. Article Thirteen of the Hamas Covenant explains why. “There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors. The Palestinian people know better than to consent to having their future, rights, and fate toyed with.” [3] Anyone daring to sign away even “a grain of sand in Palestine in favor of the enemies of God…who have seized the blessed land” should have their “hand be cut off.” [4]

The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) is equally unequivocal about its determination to annihilate the Jewish state. Article Fifteen of The Palestinian National Charter: Resolutions of the Palestine National Council July 1-17, 1968 affirms: “The liberation of Palestine, from an Arab viewpoint, is a national (qawmi) duty and it attempts to repel the Zionist and imperialist aggression against the Arab homeland, and aims at the elimination of Zionism in Palestine. Absolute responsibility for this falls upon the Arab nation – peoples and governments – with the Arab people of Palestine in the vanguard. Accordingly, the Arab nation must mobilize all its military, human, moral, and spiritual capabilities to participate actively with the Palestinian people in the liberation of Palestine. It must, particularly in the phase of the armed Palestinian revolution, offer and furnish the Palestinian people with all possible help, and material and human support, and make available to them the means and opportunities that will enable them to continue to carry out their leading role in the armed revolution, until they liberate their homeland.” [5]

 

Israeli Ground Troops Rescue Hostage, After Mossad Chief’s Secretive Trip To Qatar   BY TYLER DURDEN

TUESDAY, OCT 31, 2023 – 06:11 AM – Amid the expanding ground operation which has seen Israeli tanks positioned outside of Gaza City and heavy firefights with Hamas militants erupt, Axios has revealed that the head of Mossad, David Barnea, made a secretive weekend trip to Qatar where he met with senior Qatari officials as part of mediation efforts to secure the release of Israeli and foreign hostages.

According to the latest update, over 235 are in Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) captivity, and Qatar remains the chief third party communicating with both Tel Aviv and Hamas. But Israeli officials have described that the ground offensive was launched after it became clear that the talks had born no fruit. Barnea was in Doha as the ground invasion kicked off and progressed. According to the Israeli side’s conclusions reached as a result of the meetings, per Axios:

  • Israel made the decision [to invade] in part because Hamas refused to give Israel via Qatar a list of names of all the hostages it is holding, the officials said.
  • Hamas told the Qatari officials it is still in the process of finding out where all the hostages are located and their identities. But the feeling in Jerusalem was that this was just a tactic to buy time and prevent an Israeli ground operation, the Israeli officials said.

On Monday the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) made the unexpected announcement that one hostage, a military member who had been taken on Oct.7, has been rescued alive from the battlefield

 

PART II – NEVER-BEFORE-RELEASED VIDEO from Oct. 7 Hamas Massacre in Israel, Horrific Abuse of Dead Man’s Corpse – WARNING ON CONTENT    By Jim Hoft

Oct. 30, 2023 3:00 pm

WARNING ON CONTENT:
The video you are about to see is VERY GRAPHIC.

This video was taken during the October 7, 2023, Hamas massacre in southern Israel.

This graphic content was sent to The Gateway Pundit by trusted sources.

We have verified the content of this video.

The Gateway Pundit decided to release the video without redactions – except for one.

Today’s video was too horrific to run without alterations.

At one point in today’s video Hamas terrorists beat a dead Jewish man in the face with a pole. The man is already dead. Then Hamas pokes out his eyes. We decided to pixilate that clip.

How can they defend this?

Editor’s note: We understand how conflicted some will be about sharing this graphic and disturbing content. We also know how difficult this will be for the families of the innocent young people murdered by these monsters. We are heartbroken for them. But The Gateway Pundit feels strongly that the world needs to see this evil. The world must see what Hamas terrorists do to innocent civilians. The world must see, with their own eyes, the evil being perpetrated by those that college students and leftist politicians are celebrating. This is evil. This is Hamas. The world must not avert their eyes. We must never forget.

My first reaction after viewing this video and the clips sent to The Gateway Pundit was to sit back and cry.

 

Netanyahu: No Ceasefire, No Surrender to Hamas; Future of Civilization at Stake   By Hana Levi Julian 

16 Heshvan 5784 – October 30, 2023 – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told foreign media outlets in a news briefing Monday night that Israel will not agree to a ceasefire, which he said would constitute a surrender to Hamas, adding that the current conflict involves more than just Israel and Hamas: “The future of civilization is at stake.”

For those who have time, the news conference – which included responses by Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer as well — is worth a listen from beginning to end.

“The Bible says there is a time for peace and a time for war,” the prime minister told the journalists. “This is a time for war.”

Netanyahu noted there are many examples in history of situations in which military forces fighting evil were confronted with the problem of reaching their targets without harming civilians – and sometimes despite their best intentions, they failed.

Nevertheless, he said, “Just as the United States would not agree to a ceasefire after the bombing of Pearl Harbor or after the terrorist attack of 9/11, Israel will not agree to a cessation of hostilities with Hamas.”

With regard to the hundreds of hostages being held by the terrorist organization since its invasion of southern Israel and bloody massacre of more than a thousand Israeli civilians on October 7, Netanyahu said military pressure creates another way to pressure Hamas into releasing its hostages.

“Ground action actually creates the possibility — not the certainty but the possibility — of getting our hostages out because Hamas will not do it unless they’re under pressure,” he said.

[Ed.:  Ground invasion begins tonight.  (Maybe…)]

 

JUST IN: Israel President Confirms German-Israeli Citizen Shani Louk, Whose Body Was Seen in Back of a Truck, Was BEHEADED by Hamas Terrorists   By Jim Hft

Oct. 30, 2023 10:30 am – Israeli President Yitzchak Herzog confirmed the brutal murder of Shani Louk in an exclusive interview with German news outlet BILD on Monday.

Shani Louk, the 22-year-old German-Israeli tattoo artist, was last seen at a rave party in the northern Negev, where Hamas militants stormed in and killed at least 260 attendees.

Initial reports hinted at Shani Louk being sexually assaulted and killed, with her lifeless body flaunted around Gaza, as an appalling trophy of terrorism. Disturbing images and videos showed the militants spitting on her body, chanting, “Allahu Akbar!” meaning, God is good, as they paraded through the Gaza, bearing Louk’s corpse.

“Only now we got the note that Shani Louk has been confirmed as murdered and dead,” said President Herzog.

“They found her skull, which means these barbaric, sadistic animals, moles, simply chopped off her head when they were attacking and torturing and killing Israelis. It’s a huge tragedy,” he continued.

“This means that these barbaric, sadistic animals simply chopped off her head as they attacked, tortured and killed Israelis. It is a great tragedy and I extend my deepest condolences to her family.”

“I send a lot of condolences to the bereaved family. She was a beautiful [22-year-old] who went to a music festival, nature festival in Negev, right near the border,” Herzog added.

Water flows from Israel into Gaza; 2 out of 3 pipelines reopen   i24NEWS

October 29, 2023 at 12:37 PM – Water supply levels now meets the basic humanitarian needs of Gaza, dispelling concerns about shortages of food and water for the Strip’s residents

Israel has reopened the second of three water pipelines that supply the Gaza Strip, allowing the flow of a total of 28.5 million liters of water daily.

IDF Col. Elad Goren, heads of the civilian department of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), made the announcement, stating that the second pipeline was reopened on Saturday.

This supply of water per day is slightly more than half of the approximately 49 million liters that Israel supplied before the October 7th massacre. Israel had suspended piped water supplies to Gaza on October 9, accounting for about nine percent of the territory’s water supply during peacetime.

 

Hamas sits on extreme wealth while Gaza falls further into collapse   i24NEWS

October 29, 2023 at 11:54 AM – Taxes on smuggled goods, real estate portfolios across the Middle East, banking and cryptocurrencies – just some of the millionaires’ assets and revenue streams

While the majority of Gaza residents live on international humanitarian aid, others in the coastal enclave have accumulated colossal fortunes, most notably the leaders of the terrorist organization Hamas.

Despite international sanctions against the designated terrorist organization, and the poverty conditions of the Palestinians being governed by Hamas, hundreds have become millionaires with assets across the Middle East.

Former Hamas Chairman Khaled Mashal already a decade ago had a fortune in the billions, according to Arab media, with recent estimates $5 billion. His investment portfolio consists of banks in Egypt and real estate projects in the Arabian Gulf countries, while himself living luxuriously in Qatar.

Ismael Haniyeh, the current head of the Hamas political bureau, who is also living in Qatar, has an estimated fortune of at least $5 million, having recently purchased one of the most sought after beachside areas in Gaza at $4 million for a 27,000 square foot plot.

Haniyeh also owns several properties, many of which are in the names of his 13 children. In particular, he has exploited his privileges to acquire a Turkish passport for his, who has then heavily invested in Turkey with real estate purchases.

Another top figure is Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas chief in Gaza. He holds between $1 and $3 million according to the BBC. And Mohammed Deif, head of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, with a fortune estimated at $5 million.

 

Press Briefing by IDF Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari October 30th, 10:40

 30.10.23  [3:47]   IDF

Good morning,

Over the past day, we have expanded ground activities, with additional forces entering the Gaza Strip including Infantry, Armored Corps, Combat Engineering and Artillery Corps. Through integrated strikes of the Ground Forces and the IAF, dozens of terrorists were eliminated last night who had barricaded themselves in buildings and attempted to attack the forces that were moving in their direction. I want to explain and provide an example. We are conducting expanded ground operations in the Gaza Strip. Ground forces, tanks, infantry, and armored forces are maneuvering towards terrorists. The terrorists are assembling in staging sites in order to try to attack our soldiers, after which we strike them from the air. As one example, in one of many strikes, we targeted 20 terrorists who were assembled and preparing to attack our forces. We maneuver on the ground, identify the terrorists, and strike from the air. Ground forces are also directly engaging terrorists. The fighting is being carried out in the Gaza Strip.

Tefillin for Soldiers

Even among the “awake” crowd I see 99% of the discussion is on a physical response to the situation, with 1% throwing a bone to Hashem.  It needs to be the reverse.  The last thing we need is more humbling and painful lessons.

Not nearly enough attention is being paid to the masses of people that are doing  teshuva in various ways.  People who seemed to be very distant from the Torah are having dramatic turnarounds, and those who were already on board at least in principle are trying to do more.

This is how we win.  Getting a gun is incidental at best.

One of the many campaigns to strengthen our nature spiritually is being spearheaded by Rabbi Josh Friedman, who I know personally dating back to my days at YU.   I met him today to find out more about it, and agreed to share the information.

The past two weeks have been crazy for me.  I have spent time on one of the army bases near Gaza with our soldiers.  I was in “Gaza City” as they were doing their training for going into Gaza. היעזור!

I met with very special soldiers who are ready to accept upon themselves to wear tefillin for the rest of their lives.  Please G-d they will all come home alive and safe.

Over 2,500 soldiers want tefillin!  Each pair is $500. I have been doing this project for many years, but never had such a strong desire for so many pairs as we have now.

I am now running a campaign to provide tefillin for every soldier who has requested.

 Please share these links with your contacts:  We cannot let our soldiers down!

For Those Starting to Sympathize With ‘Poor Palestinians in Gaza,’ Israel Has a Reminder   BY HUGH FITZGERALD

OCT 28, 2023 2:00 PM – The Israelis have produced a 43-minute film showing what happened on October 7, with pictures of the victims’ bodies and descriptions of what happened to them. It was just shown to hundreds of journalists in Tel Aviv who had until now not been given “the ocular proof.” More on the horrific details contained in this film can be found here: “‘Eyes were gouged out, a woman’s breasts cut off and a daughter had her legs severed’: Horrific details of Hamas massacre emerge as rescue worker recounts how entire families were slaughtered,” by Rachael Bunyan, Daily Mail, October 24, 2023:

Hamas terrorists killed a husband and gouged his eyes out before going on to cut his wife’s breasts off and chop his daughter’s leg off, a rescue worker has revealed as yet more horrific details of the terrorists’ savage attack continue to emerge.

Moshe Melayev told how entire families were slaughtered in their homes by the black-clad terrorists who were wielding assault rifles and grenades as they launched their surprise attack on southern Israel on October 7.

Melayev, of Israel’s National Rescue Unit, said as he walked through kibbutzim close to the Gaza border, he saw the beheaded bodies of victims lying on the floors of their homes where they had hours earlier been drinking their morning coffee.

“I saw beheaded bodies, I saw body parts,’ Melayev told Fox News. ‘In a house there was a husband and wife and two children.’

“They killed the husband first, they took his eyes out, I saw the body myself. They cut the breasts of the woman off and they cut the leg off the girl. That’s the family that I saw with my own eyes,’ Melayev added, shaking his head as he recounted the horrors the Hamas terrorists inflicted on hundreds of families on October 7.

The rampaging terrorists unleashed horrors that defy belief, with an Israeli colonel recounting how one gunman cut open a pregnant mother’s stomach and killed her baby in front of her before they shot her in the head.

Colonel Haim Weissberg, whose job is to identify the bodies of the victims of Israel’s worst massacre, said he had seen babies with their heads chopped off, soldiers and civilians whose genitals had been cut off as well as women who were raped.

“They filmed a pregnant women, a terrorist arrives, he disembowels her, takes out the foetus, and in front of her, he comes out and massacres the baby before killing her,’ Weisberg told a delegation of Jewish community leaders from France at the Shura military base.

‘Everything is filmed. Babies whose heads were decapitated, soldiers whose genitals were cut off, small and elderly women were raped,’ Weisberg added….

As Israel continues to bomb Hamas sites in Gaza, and the death toll mounts, the world is starting to sympathize with the Gazans. Hamas continues to put out exaggerated figures for the numbers of its dead. Remember how Hamas claimed that “500 civilians” had died in the explosion at the parking lot of the Al-Ahli Hospital, while the real figure, according to Western intelligence agencies, was between 10 and 50 dead. The American government does not accept the Hamas-run Ministry of Health’s figures about casualties. Biden at a press conference said that “I have no notion that the Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed. I’m sure innocents have been killed, and it’s the price of waging a war. But I have no confidence in the number that the Palestinians are using.”

 

Israel war on Hamas enters new phase: 150 Hamas tunnels and bunkers destroyed   BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS

OCT 28, 2023 2:30 PM  – The Israeli Air Force has destroyed 150 Hamas tunnels and bunkers. But that merely touches the surface of the task ahead. Hamas leader Yehiyeh Sinwar boasted in 2021 that Hamas has 310 miles of tunnels. According to the Associated Press, “the Gaza Strip itself” is about 140 square miles.

Sinwar continued to boast during Operation Guardian of the Walls, which was launched by Israel in 2021 in response to a barrage of rocket-fire by Hamas:

They started saying that they destroyed 100 kilometers (62 miles) of Hamas tunnels. I am telling you that the tunnels we have in the Gaza Strip exceed 500 kilometers……Even if their narrative is true, they only destroyed 20% of the tunnels.

The expanse of Hamas tunnels give insight into the magnitude of the threat to Israel and also shows what Israel now faces as it moves to destroy these tunnels. Since Hamas is well known to use human shields, the cost in human lives will be large, as the mainstream media continues to incessantly crow about a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with no interest in the threat to Jewish lives and to Israel’s existence.

The IDF says it will not allow fuel into the Gaza Strip, as it says it is used by Hamas to manage the fighting against Israel.

Israel faces the bad publicity of collateral damage boosted by Palestinian propaganda, despite the fact that countless nations have fought wars in the same way yet without the same smears.

 

Hamas is playing for time   BY EDWARD LUTTWAK

The Israeli offensive won’t be held up long

October 26, 2023 – Hamas leaders know that once the Israeli counter-offensive starts, they will lose their greatest asset: their inter-connected tunnels. This vast warren conceals the vital operations for the manufacture, storage and launch of their rockets, and shields headquarters and rest areas from detection and air strikes. So big is the network, it has been nicknamed the Underground, after London’s.

The discovery that Hamas was going all out to build these tunnels marked the start of the Israeli army’s education in the arcane art of finding, conquering (“clearing” is reductive) and quickly demolishing them. But tunnel warfare, it swiftly discovered, is not for amateurs. Nor is it even for highly accomplished but generic “commandos” including its top echelon Sayeret Matkal. It requires specific detection and monitoring skills, ultra close-combat skills and weapons (even compact assault rifles are too long), specialised shields and respirators, as well as the very quick reactions that all first-rate soldiers must have.

Hamas knows from previous experience that the closer the range, the greater the qualitative gap between their men and first-line Israeli infantry; Arik Sharon, who ended up as Prime Minister after a brilliant military career, discovered back in the Fifties that Israelis had the edge in close combat. Even in Hamas’s hyper-successful surprise raids, that took full advantage of Israel’s grossly over-confident reliance on high-tech observation towers and absurdly few troops, they lost more than a thousand to civilian home guards with their pistols and submachine guns and a handful of soldiers.

Knowing these odds, Hamas is now doing all it can to delay Israel’s tunnel offensive by releasing hostages in pairs after lengthy talks for each batch. At two at a time, with more than 200 to go, assuming they are still alive, this approach could delay the offensive until next year, if then.

In human terms, the waiting is excruciating. And with 360,000 reservists recalled to duty alongside the additional 160,000 on active duty (the entire British army numbers 80,360 including the Ghurkas; the US Army, 452,689), there is also the very practical consideration of what happens when you keep a great part of the labour force away from its jobs, and parents away from their families. But the solution here can been found in the very thing that makes Israel so vulnerable: its size. It is small enough that batches of troops can be released from their unit deployments facing Gaza and allowed to go home to live and work, but still be back in a matter of hours if called to launch the offensive. They are certainly not needed to defend now that the defences are wide awake; today there are guard units all along the perimeter, where they should have been all along. (Overconfidence is also an Israeli trait: on October 6 1973, when the Egyptian army crossed the Suez Canal with tens of thousands of troops, there was a paltry 411 Israeli reservists holding 17 Canal-side forts).

 

What is Israel’s next move?   BY DAVID PATRIKARAKOS

The first wave of the invasion has begun

October 29,2023 – The news that mobile networks had gone down in the strip was the clue that something was imminent. Then, last night, just under three weeks after the 7 October Hamas massacres, Israel announced that its ground forces were “expanding operations” in Gaza. Aerial bombardment of the strip was heavier than anything since the war began; more ground troops are pouring across the border.

It all came as a surprise. The government’s war cabinet is not even scheduled to meet until Sunday (which could, of course, be a deliberate misdirection). And I’m told soldiers on the Northern border are receiving weekend leave (subject to immediate recall), which would not normally suggest that a full-on invasion is happening.

 

Europe Facing Civil War?   by Drieu Godefridi

SATURDAY, OCT 28, 2023 – 07:00 AM – In ViennaLondonParisBerlinBrussels and dozens of other European cities, demonstrations “in support of Palestine” were organised even before the Israelis responded the jihadist pogrom perpetrated by Iran-backed Hamas on October 7, while the corpses of more than 1,400 Israeli victims — tortured, raped, murdered and mutilated, babies decapitated or burned alive — were still warm. According to a JNS report:

“[T]he IDF on Monday [Oct 23] published two segments from the interrogation of Hamas terrorists who participated in the massacre..

“‘The purpose of entering Israeli territory… was to kidnap civilians; they want as many hostages as possible,’ one of the terrorists revealed. He added, ‘They [Hamas] promised us that whoever brings a kidnapped person will receive an apartment and $10,000.'”

All the same, each and every one of these demonstrations in Europe was the scene of hate-filled slogans against Israel and Jews.

In Brussels, those slogans were shouted, and the atmosphere of violence and blood-lust was everywhere. Around me, surrounded by about 2,000 hate-filled demonstrators, a group of a dozen young Arabs were shouting “Death to the Jews” and “Death to Israel”, all the while exchanging knowing smiles and a few jokes. One of them ordered me to stop filming. I did.

Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger explained in an interview recently that Europe had made a serious mistake by creating within itself, through mass immigration, populations that reject all its norms, values and a “constitutional basis”. He deplored the fact that in 2023 in Berlin, almost 80 years after the Holocaust, people, with complete impunity, are shouting “Death to the Jews” in the streets.

In the hours following the revelation of the butchery committed by Hamas, a wave of racist violence and attacks began in Europe, especially in France. Against Arabs or Muslims? Not at all. Against Jews, of course. In Europe, Jews are still the victims of hatred and violence. Apparently it is a way for our local pro-Hamas Europeans to celebrate the jihad pogrom of October 7.

Even though the media have been warning us for 30 years about the risk of violence against Muslims, in deeds and figures, our Jewish fellow citizens are infinitely more victims of violence and abuse than are Muslims living in Europe. Already in 2015, Jeffrey Goldberg warned in The Atlantic: “In 2014, Jews in Europe were murdered, raped, beaten, stalked, chased harassed, spat on and chased for being Jewish.”

I feel a certain fatigue towards those who hold Israelis and Arabs equally responsible. Not just the European Left, which often no longer takes the trouble to hide its anti-Semitism. No, also those on the right who, out of cowardice or ignorance, tell us that Israel had it coming.

Israel Is All In To Survive   By Christine Dolan

“War for Humanity,” says Netanyahu, Gallant and Gantz – Hamas’ Sinwar Responds

October 28, 2023 – Israeli’s top leadership stands firm, “stronger than ever,” stated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as he was joined by Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Bennie Gantz, the Leader of the Opposition party, who is now part of the Israeli War Cabinet. Each individually gave a statement in Tel Aviv on Saturday evening.

Gantz’s participation sent a powerful message to Israelis, the entire global community, and Hamas leader inside Gaza, who perhaps is the most important person holding 200 international hostages in captivity.

Gantz had been sacked by Netanyahu earlier this year when Gantz publicly stated that Netanyahu’s push for judicial reform was tearing the country apart and putting Israel’s national security at risk.

Gantz’s presence with Gallant and Netanyahu on the world stage publicly could only be a severe punch to the gut for Yahya Sinwa, who was hoping that internal politics would weaken Israel.

Sinwar is now the leader of Hamas inside Gaza. He was one of the 1,027 prisoners in Israeli jails exchanged for one Israeli held in captivity for 5 years.

Each of the Israeli individually addressed their nation followed by a joint press conference after Israel’s conscious decision to increase its escalation of the second phase of the Israel Hamas conflict.  For two nights, Israeli forces entered Gaza and retreated. Last night the IDF entered Gaza and they are still there.

Their messages were given with clarity and purpose.

The Israeli troops have entered the Halls of Evil and on a mission “to eliminate Hamas and bring back the hostages… this is our Second War of Independence,” stated Netanyahu. “The people and leadership are behind the troops…we fight for protection of our home land on land air and sea.

“This is the mission of our lives. This is the mission of my life, emphasized Netanyahu.

Netanyahu’s address on Saturday was different than earlier this week. His first was more a rallying cry. Saturdays’ message was the strongest message to the world – almost Churchillian in nature.

Hamas uses these buildings as shields for its own military efforts.

Hamas uses hospitals, mosques as shields for underground terror network

Inside Al-Shifa specifically, Gaza’s largest hospital with 1,500 beds and 4,000 employees, “Hamas also has an entrance to its terror tunnels from inside hospital wards. From different places inside the hospital, you can enter underground tunnels.

“Right now, terrorists move freely in Al-Shifa hospital,” Hagari continued. “Hundreds [of terrorists] fled to the hospital to hide after the massacre on October 7.

War Criminal Dead: Israeli Forces Eliminate Hamas Operative Asem Abu Rakaba the Terror Leader Responsible for Paragliders Flying into an Israeli Concert to Murder Nearly 300 Youths   By Jim Hoft

Oct. 28, 2023 8:00 am – On Saturday morning, three weeks after the Hamas massacre of Jews inside Israel, Asem Abu Rakaba, the terror leader responsible for planning the October 7 massacre and commander of Hamas’s paraglider units that attacked the music festival in southern Israel, was eliminated.

On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists flew paragliders into the Nova dance party and slaughtered nearly 300 of the 3,600 partygoers at the party around 6:30 AM.

The killers also raped the young beautiful women and took dozens of hostages both young men and young women. Their whereabouts are now unknown. It’s been three weeks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Israel will keep electricity and water from Gaza until all the prisoners – over 220 – are returned to Israel by the barbarians.

“400 Body Parts”   By Pamela Geller

October 27, 2023 – A radio interview this morning with the director of Israel’s Institute of Forensic Medicine describes the current situation.

There are 400 parts of bodies left unidentified. There are no longer whole bodies left. Just a collection of body parts.

Body parts belonging to 400 different people.

The difficulty of identifying what and who they are is enormous to the point of being impossible.

Hundreds of people will never be formally identified, won’t get a dignified burial, and their loved ones won’t get to go to their funerals or be able to mourn at their graves.

Bodies of couples and of parents and children who were tied together with rope and then burned alive.

Entire families that were burned alive and burned beyond all recognition, to the point that extracting DNA is physically impossible.

At a time when people are demanding humanitarianism for Gaza, Israelis see humanity and Gaza as two words that do not belong in the same book, let alone in the same breath.

People around the world talk of a Palestinian state, but what Israelis see is a murderous people that sanctifies and revels in the murder and torture of Jews in their own homeland.

How can you make peace with a people like this?
