Fierce battles in Khan YunisL

Face to face combat.

Thousands of soldiers are now fighting Khan Yunis.

Israeli Hero Bomb Dog Makes Miracle Recovery After Being Blown up by a Hamas Terrorist’s Grenade   By Richard Abelson

Dec. 26, 2023 11:00 am – Mikey, a brave Alsatian war dog in the elite Israeli Oketz canine unit, who was blown up by a Hamas grenade in November, is back on her feet after becoming the first dog in the world to undergo oxygen therapy, the Daily Mail reports.

Mikey is an explosives sniffer dog trained to scan buildings for traps before Israeli forces enter. The evil Hamas terrorists frequently booby-trap buildings in Gaza, recently even with child’s voices, dolls and backpacks, as Gateway Pundit reported. 8 IDF soldiers of the Golani Brigade were killed by an IED in the Kasbah of Shuja’iyya neighborhood Dec. 13.

Mikey was weeks away from retirement when a Hamas terrorist threw a grenade which blew up in her face. She suffered catastrophic injuries to her face, body and legs, the Daily Mail reported.

The explosives specialist was evacuated to Israel November 12 and vets battled to save her for weeks.

Despite operating to remove shrapnel in her eyes, ears, leg, abdomen and head, the outlook was bleak, the Daily Mail reports. Remnants of explosives in her brain meant the nine-year-old might never walk again. Israeli vets feared for her life.

With no options left, Mikey’s superiors insisted she receive the best treatment possible and called Professor Shai Efrati at Shamir Medical Center near Tel Aviv, the world’s leading Hyperbaric Medicine and Research facility, the Daily Mail reports.

Amazingly, after just a few weeks of treatment, the Alsatian is back on her feet.

 

IDF Heroes Remarkably Survive Gunshots to the Heart and Brain   By Vered Weiss

Both heavily wounded soldiers expressed their desire to return to battle.

December 24, 2023 – Amid the tragic news of casualties, there are also incredible stories of survival–including testimonies of soldiers miraculously recovering from injuries that are usually fatal.

Major Itai and his troops entered a Hamas stronghold in Gaza and he was the first to encounter a terrorist sniper who fired directly at his face.

Major Itai said he remembered feeling a “blow to his face” which was a bullet entering his brain.

Amazingly, the officer still gave commands to his troops and didn’t realize he was bleeding unit he was treated by a medic.

Even though the medics understood the wound was serious, no one realized the bullet was lodged in Major Itai’s brain until he arrived at the hospital.

The medical staff haven’t removed the bullet, fearing that surgery would risk permanent brain damage.

With impaired vision in one eye, Major Itai expressed his wish to return and fight in Gaza and also to be reunited at home with his wife and young son.

“It seems I still have what to do here,” he said.

 

Inside a Top-Secret Facility Where Oct. 7 Terrorists are Imprisoned   By Tal Ariel Yakir, JNS

Dec 25, 2023 – An up-close and personal experience with prison guards who watch over Hamas terrorists.

Handcuffed and wearing blindfolds, dressed in brown overalls, the prisoners were brought into a side room. One by one they were sat down on a round chair in front of a camera and bright light and photographed against the backdrop of an Israeli flag. They were terrorists from Hamas’s Nukhba special forces unit and had been brought to the prison a month and a half earlier.

“When they arrived, one of them looked at me and started wailing,” Staff Sgt. Maj. Mowafaq Asakla, the commander of an Israel Prison Service (IPS) security team who oversees a prison facility whose location is classified, told Israel Hayom. “He cried, said he was just a construction worker who came to Israel to find work and that he had no money for food for his children. He kept saying, ‘I’m a worker, I’m a worker. I didn’t do anything.’

“He tried to get me to pity him. I didn’t reply and didn’t look in his direction. All that was going through my mind were the terrible videos [of atrocities committed on Oct. 7] that Hamas had uploaded on Telegram.

“The next day I found out who he was when I saw his personal belongings. He was not a worker, he was a murderer who had killed a young [Israeli] woman and her young son in cold blood, who had used a knife while they were alive and then shot them in the head. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

“I felt sick. I cannot comprehend where such evil comes from. It’s important to maintain professionalism when dealing with terrorists, but I admit that it’s hard for me to look at him. He disgusts me. On the outside, I’m a poker face, but inside my soul is in turmoil. When I learned of his actions, I couldn’t fall asleep. That night I got on my motorcycle and drove around for hours.”

Asakla, a Druze from northern Israel, and his colleagues are responsible for the imprisonment of dozens of Oct. 7 terrorists. He and his guards are in close contact with bloodthirsty evildoers. Even so, the IPS maintains the minimum conditions required for prisoners. The cells of the terrorists are small, without lighting, and without separation between the toilets and showers. The contact with them is minimal, straight-to-the-point, without small talk.

Nothing to lose

Lt. Col. Shachar Kamisa, who is second-in-command at the prison, explained: “These prisoners have nothing to lose. No one knows what’s going through their minds. They might be planning violence against the guards and maybe even try to escape.

“They know that for the horrific acts that they have committed, they will not just receive one or two years in prison. That is why our vigilance is sky-high at all times. Now they don’t have weapons, but the danger is ever-present.

“These are criminals who had murdered, raped, burned and looted, and their ideology, which is rooted in the destruction of the Jewish people and Israel, did not stop on Oct. 7. In prison, it can even intensify. Our job is to stop any attempted uprising. We will not let them raise their heads. They now understand that they are in Israel, not Gaza.”

 

Hamas Rejects Egyptian Peace Deal as IDF Destroys Unterground Hamas HQ, Kills Terrorists in 2 UN Schools   By Richard Abelson

Dec. 25, 2023 5:00 pm – The Israeli Defense Forces IDF destroyed Hamas’ underground headquarters in northern Gaza, fought terrorists inside two United Nations schools, and secured hundreds of grenades, RPG projectiles, and explosives. Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, who is in hiding, claimed Hamas is “crushing”  the IDF and rejected an Egyptian peace proposal.

The Israeli Defense Forces IDF released footage on Dec. 25. showing an RPG-wielding terrorist being eliminated by a drone strike.

According to the IDF, as the Nahal Brigade set out for an offensive against Hamas’s Daraj-Tuffah battalion in Gaza City, troops spotted a Hamas operative with an RPG approaching them. The troops called in an airstrike, killing the operative.

The IDF announced the completion of a “large-scale operation to dismantle the northern underground headquarters of Hamas in Gaza” on Sunday night, JNS reports.

Troops retrieved the bodies of five hostages earlier this month after discovering the subterranean tunnel network during activities in Jabalia, the largest of the Gaza Strip’s eight refugee camps, JNS wrote. After taking over the camp after intense fighting, killing many terrorists, and finding hundreds of weapons, the IDF uncovered a massive tunnel network serving as the underground headquarters of Hamas, which included two levels—the first nearly 33 feet deep and the second even deeper. The tunnel network included many branches and was used to wage war and conceal the movements of Hamas terrorists.

 

MK Rothman proposes: 10/7 terrorists won’t receive free lawyers   INN

‘No justification for State of Israel providing legal representation to Hamas Nukhba terrorists,’ MK Simcha Rothman says.

Dec 25, 2023, 11:25 AM (GMT+2) – MK Simcha Rothman, chairman of the Knesset’s Constitution, Law, and Justice Committee, on Monday proposed that the terrorists who perpetrated the October 7 massacre should not receive representation by a public attorney from the government “Public Defender” office.

In his explanation for the bill, Rothman wrote, “During these days, the State of Israel is struggling with many difficulties, on many fronts, due to the terror attack which took place on October 7, 2023. In this attack, hundreds of terrorists from the Hamas terror group infiltrated the State of Israel’s territory, murdering over 1,400 citizens, injuring thousands, and kidnapping over 200 citizens to the Gaza Strip.”

“Public legal representation is a body which is intended to legally protect the country’s weak. This body, which must be comprised of citizens of the State of Israel, cannot ethically represent terrorists and protect them in a self-sacrificing fashion in the court.

“In order to prevent unpleasantness of the current type, this bill requests to legally regulate the matter of preventing Hamas terrorists from October 7 from being represented by the Public Defender’s Office.

“The Public Defender’s Office is a matter of which Israel should be proud: It provides aid to the weak people, who need legal protection.

“There is no justification that the State of Israel fund, and the Public Defender’s Office be stained, by representing evil enemies, Nukhba terrorists. There is no justification whatsoever that their victims should pay and fund their legal representation.”

[Ed.:  “Legal representation??”  Crazy. Obscene!  The 51st State of IINO has no idea what should be done with the enemy combatant POWs beyond extrapolating from each of them any intelligence of worth.  Once that step is completed, apparently, IINO is planning to try them in Civil Court, as if they were common robbers, rapists and street criminals, which they are not. OH, NICE! 

The graffiti is on the wall.  The end is in clear sight.  IINO is lead by losers who have a fear of eliminating the enemy. (‘What will Biden think?’) This will result in our inevitable and total demise; sooner (4 to 6 months) rather than later (2-years,) as we have currently scheduled for our enemy. (May I be 100% wrong!!)  A real country (not a ‘State’) that is calling itself ‘Israel’, would know exactly what to do with the enemy (including prisoners,) because our Creator has already given us the instructions of precisely how to handle them in multiple examples in our Torah and in our scar-ridden history.  But we listen to Bibi and to secularists who think that they are in charge, instead. That explains it.]

 

Hamas kills Arab boy for approaching humanitarian aid

Clashes later broke out between Hamas terrorists and the family of the boy, Ahmed Bracha, in the area of Tel al-Sultan north of Rafah.

December 25, 2023 / JNS – A Hamas police officer shot a Palestinian boy to stop him from approaching humanitarian aid in the area of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip on Sunday. The boy later died of his wounds.

Clashes later broke out between Hamas terrorists and the family of the boy, Ahmed Bracha, in the area of Tel al-Sultan north of Rafah.

Crowds set fire to the Hamas police station and the family vowed revenge for his death, threatening to kill the officer and his family, Channel 12 reported.

Hamas policemen were documented attacking residents in Khan Yunis as well over the distribution of humanitarian aid.

Video has emerged in recent weeks of Gazans raiding humanitarian aid trucks before they reach their destinations, the report said, noting in many cases it’s Hamas that gets its hands on the aid.

Gaza: IDF Finds Suicide Vests for Children in Clinic, Hamas Terrorist Films Himself being Neutralized by Elite IDF Commandos    By Richard Abelson

Dec. 24, 2023 11:40 am – In grueling house-house combat in Khan Yunis, soldiers of the IDF Givati Brigade killed five Hamas terrorists emerging from a terror tunnel. The IDF discovered suicide vests for children in a medical clinic that also held dozens of mortars and hundreds of grenades. A terrorist filmed his last moments on his GoPro before being eliminated by the elite IDF Egoz Unit.

In the northern Gaza Strip, IDF troops located a Hamas weapons compound inside a civilian structure, Arutz Sheva reports. Explosive belts adapted for children, dozens of mortar shells, hundreds of grenades, and intelligence documents were found inside the compound, which was located adjacent to schools, a mosque, and a medical clinic.

IDF troops identified a number of terrorists that exited a Hamas military compound in the northern Gaza Strip, calling in an aerial strike that killed the terrorists. Seven terrorists were killed in Jabalya by IDF troops together with aircraft and artillery, and four Hamas observation assets were destroyed.

The Givati Brigade operating in Khan Yunis has been killing terrorists in close-quarters combat for three weeks.

[Ed.:  Suicide vests for children!  Target should carry them in small, medium and large next to the LGBTGRSTUV department.  American mothers should raise their kids to kill themselves just like the poor, oppressed ‘Palestinian’ mothers do!  That would prove that Americans are not Islamophobic, and show our support for global efforts to reduce the population to prevent any further climate change.]

 

 

Do you know who the oldest active IDF reservist is? You should   Moshe Phillips

Israel’s greatest living folk hero put on his IDF uniform at the age of 95 or perhaps he never stopped wearing it. Meet Ezra Yachin.   Op-ed.

Dec 24, 2023, 5:55 PM (GMT+2) – The oldest active Israeli army reservist is a living folk hero named Ezra Yachin. At 95 years old Yachin was hardly known outside of Israel until he was called up to active duty following the October 7th Hamas terrorist massacre. News outlets from all ends of the spectrum such as the New York Post and Al Jazeera ran stories about the elderly IDF soldier who put on a uniform again to defend Israel, just as he had done so for decades before.

Yachin was described by the NY Post as someone who once “served as a combat soldier with Lehi — an underground paramilitary group active during British rule — who fought against the British and the Arabs to create a Jewish homeland” and that he was “called back up “to recount how he survived Arab pogroms in Jerusalem during his childhood,” according to Israel National News.” The article included a new photo of Yachin at the ready holding a modern combat rifle.

While the story of an elderly reservist is interesting in itself and reporters covered a bit of Yachin’s personal history, there is more to the story. What would cause the Israeli army to think that young soldiers, many more than 75 years younger than Yachin, would find anything about him inspiring? What makes him a folk hero?

The articles did not reveal that many senior officers heard Yachin speak when they were recruits (or during their school years as he was a frequent speaker in educational institutions) and want today’s young soldiers to benefit from the same experience. Yachin serves as a link to the fighting heroes of the 1940s. His passion for Zionism and the Land of Israel is infectious. What’s more is that when he tells his stories he makes it plain that he saw miracles multiple times when he was a young fighter.

 

Ben Gvir: The hostage deal and the ceasefire cost us dead soldiers  Israel National News

National Security Minister explains what is the red line that will make him resign from the government.

Dec 24, 2023, 5:26 AM (GMT+2) – National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir told Channel 12 News on Saturday night that the temporary ceasefire which Israel agreed to as part of the deal to release hostages cost Israel in the form of dead soldiers.

“I said before the deal that if there is a prisoner deal and we halt the fire, we will give oxygen to Hamas and it will cost us in fallen soldiers,” he said. “Don’t you see what is happening, that every day more soldiers are falling?”.

Journalist Ben Caspit, who conducted the interview alongside journalist Amit Segal, stressed that “soldiers were killed even before the ceasefire, soldiers are killed in war”.

Ben Gvir then continued, “We are still prisoners of the concept. If we give fuel to our enemy, we are stuck in the concept. If we send the head of the Mossad to the capitals of the world to beg and ask Hamas for a ceasefire, we are stuck in the concept. Why should we beg? They should be the ones begging. We should take an approach of hundreds of thousands of dead terrorists and dozens of destroyed houses. Why should be ashamed to do that?”

To Segal’s question: “What is your red line?”, the minister replied, “My red line is the decision. If there is no war and power, I am not in the government. I also told the Prime Minister – my vote is not automatic, he knows when I vote in favor of things. Before the war I voted against the government on all kinds of things. I said that if there are no bombings and they don’t act properly in Gaza – I will have a problem.”

He later clarified, “Netanyahu often adopts Gantz’s approach. I’m trying to turn the tables. Tomorrow I will meet with the Prime Minister and try to convince him again – don’t follow Gantz’s path, look what happened in the years when we acted like that.”

Later in the interview, Ben Gvir commented on recent reports about the unusual confrontation he had with the Chief of Staff at the Cabinet meeting and said, “I have all the respect in the world for the Chief of Staff, but the defense establishment is captive to the concept. The days are over when it is forbidden to pass criticism. We are not allowed to tell the Chief of Staff that our soldiers should not be suspended? Discipline in the army is indeed none of my business, but when the IDF issues a message ‘We have suspended the soldier who recited ‘Shema Yisrael’ – what tailwind does this give to the soldiers on the battlefield?”

The comment was in reference to the incident in which soldiers recited the Shema Yisrael prayer over the loudspeaker of a mosque in Jenin and later sprayed on its walls, “We came to eat hummus.”

 

Netanyahu: US is not dictating how Israel should prosecute the war  Israel National News

PM says Israel’s operational decisions are based on its own considerations as a sovereign nation, not external pressure.

Dec 24, 2023, 1:07 PM (GMT+2) – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the fall of eight IDF soldiers in battle in Gaza during the start of the Government meeting at the Kirya in Tel Aviv today (Sunday).

“This is a difficult morning, after a very difficult day of fighting in Gaza. On behalf of all members of the Government and the entire people of Israel, I would like to send condolences to the families of our heroic soldiers who have fallen in the war over our home. Our hearts are with the families; our hearts go out for the young lives that were cut short in their prime. We all send best wishes for a quick recovery to our wounded. The war is exacting a very heavy cost from us; however, we have no choice but to continue to fight,” Netanyahu began.

“As of today, our forces have eliminated many thousands of terrorists. We are continuing with full force, until the end, until victory, until we achieve all of our goals: The destruction of Hamas, the return of our hostages and ensuring that Gaza will never again constitute a threat to the State of Israel.

“Last night, I spoke again with President Biden. I appreciate the steadfast US position – which supports our war effort – in the UN Security Council. I told President Biden yesterday that we will fight until absolute victory – however long that takes. The US understands this,” he said.

He dismissed reports that the Biden Administration has been handicapping Israel’s efforts to prosecute the war: “I have seen erroneous reports to the effect that the US prevented, and is preventing, us from operational actions in the region; this is incorrect. Israel is a sovereign state. Our decisions in the war are based on our operational considerations, and I will not expand further. They are not dictated by external pressure. The decision on how to use our forces is an independent decision of the IDF and nobody else.”

Related articles:

“The goal is to accomplish the mission, all of our missions – especially the elimination of Hamas and the return of our hostages, while also doing everything to safeguard the lives of our soldiers.

Netanyahu said that war will continue “until the hostages are returned, Hamas is eliminated and we restore security in both the north and the south.”

“We all support our heroic soldiers in achieving all of these goals. Together we will fight and – with G-d’s help – together we will win,” he concluded.

[Ed.:  But…, but…, but, the US IS dictating how Israel should conduct the war, haven’t you noticed!? They’ve been doing it every day since October 7th.  That is like saying that the Pope is Catholic!]

 

Biden Convinced Netanyahu to Halt a Pre-Emptive Strike Against Hezbollah   By Vivian Salama,  Dion Nissenbaum  and Benoit Faucon, WSJ

Urgent call illustrates Washington’s attempts to prevent a widening war in the Middle East

Dec. 23, 2023  WASHINGTON—President Biden urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to halt a pre-emptive strike against Hezbollah forces in Lebanon days after Hamas militants’ Oct. 7 assault on southern Israel, warning that such an attack could spark a wider regional war.

Israel had intelligence—which the U.S. deemed unreliable—that Hezbollah attackers were preparing to cross the border as part of a multipronged attack, pushing some of Israel’s more hawkish officials to the brink, officials said.

Israeli warplanes were in the air awaiting orders when Biden spoke to Netanyahu on Oct. 11 and told the Israeli prime minister to stand down and think through the consequences of such an action, according to people familiar with the call.

The Israeli attack didn’t go ahead. And the conversation between Biden and other U.S. officials and Netanyahu and his war cabinet—the details of which haven’t been previously reported—set a pattern of White House efforts to guard against any expansion of the conflict that could draw in the U.S.

[Ed.:  Bidens’ orders are actually Obama’s orders.  Israel is called ‘The State of Israel’ instead of ‘The country of Israel’ for good reason.  We don’t refer to ‘The State of France’, or the ‘State of Germany’, or the ‘State of India’. Israel is more like the 51st US State.  The Prime Minister is more like the Governor.  Obama is the puppeteer pulling the strings and he runs the show. Israel In Name Only (IINO) is his puppet ‘State’ taking orders from Obama, rather than from our Creator.]

 

Christmas Celebrations In Bethlehem Canceled Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict  OAN’s Abril Elfi

Christmas celebrations have been canceled in Bethlehem as conflict between Israel and Hamas continues. 
12:36 PM – Saturday, December 23, 2023 -Bethlehem Mayor Hanna Hanania has announced that the city municipality collectively “decided to limit Christmas celebrations to prayers and worship” without the annual spectacle as a “rejection and condemnation of Israeli aggression and the targeting of civilians, women, and children in the Gaza Strip.”

The decision was first announced in a joint letter on November 10th by the Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in Jerusalem, an interdenominational council of bishops and pastors in charge of churches in the Holy Land.

“Each year during the sacred seasons of Advent and Christmastide, our Christian communities throughout the Holy Land take great delight in their preparations for the commemoration of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,” the patriarchs wrote in their letter. “In addition to attendance in religious services, these celebrations have normally involved participation in numerous public festivities and the large-scale display of brightly lit and expensive decorations as a means of expressing our joy at the approach and arrival of the Feast of the Nativity.”

“But these are not normal times. Since the start of the War, there has been an atmosphere of sadness and pain. Thousands of innocent civilians, including women and children, have died or suffered serious injuries,” the bishops continued. “Many more grieve over the loss of their homes, their loved ones, or the uncertain fate of those dear to them. Throughout the region, even more have lost their work and are suffering from serious economic challenges. Yet despite our repeated calls for a humanitarian ceasefire and a de-escalation of violence, the war continues.”

The Christian leaders stated that in the midst of more than a month of violence, they have chosen to minimize the glitz and glamor of neighborhood Christmas festivities in order to emphasize the holiday’s spiritual significance.

 

The Israel Guys: 3 Israeli Hostages Were Shot Dead by the IDF in Gaza – What Really Happened?  [Videos]   By Richard Abelson

Dec. 23, 2023 10:00 am – 3 Israeli hostages were killed by friendly fire on Friday as they were approaching IDF soldiers. Ben Hilton from The Israel Guys reveals how the 3 young men may have been used as decoys by Hamas. The Israel Guys also revealed how Hamas dresses up Israeli hostages to look like terrorists, and showed a Gaza hospitalk directoir who admitted turning his hopsital int a terrorist base for Hamas.

“Three Isreali hostages were in a building that the (still unnamed) IDF unit had surrounded, three of them came out waving a white flag, and the IDF unit shot all three and killed two. One ran back into the house, ran out the back door and another unit shot him a second time, and killed him,” Ben Hilton explained.

“From our armchair (perspective) it sounds inexcusable”, Ben said. “It’s easy to say, how could you not see that he was waving a white flag, how could you not see that he was in civilian clothes? But this is brutal urban warfare, the stuff nightmares are made of. And these IDF units are some of the best at urban warfare in the world, because they have had to deal with this stuff over and over again, in Jenin, in Shechem (Arab Nablus, from the Roman Flavia Neapolis), in Ramallah and other Arab cities, where they’ve had to go in and fight terrorists house to house. Also, Israel has invested a lot of R&D into developing better urban warfare equipment, training and tactics. These guys really know what they’re doing.”

This means the odds are “this was not a cut-and-dried situation,” Ben said.

“There are reports from other IDF units in those neighborhoods that Hamas has been setting traps in all kinds of ways,” Ben Hilton said, “including waving white flags and baiting the units with wounded Arab women, begging for help, with childen, with children’s toys, the list goes on.”

All the Hamas units are wearing strictly civilian clothes, Ben pointed out, saying it was “not implausible” that Hamas had “baited Israeli units with the promise of rescuing hostages before.”

This may “not have been the first time these (IDF soldiers) had come up against ‘Israeli hostages’ that were in fact Hamas fighters,” Ben observed, “who come out waving a white flag, speaking Hebrew, whatever.”

“These Hamas guys aren’t stupid,” Ben said. “They’ve been fighting this kind of urban warfare for a very long time. They’re also animals. There’s no rules, no  sense of decency for them. They hide behind cowardice. So it’s very probable they had baited IDF units with this exact type of scenario before multiple times.”

In another video, Luke Hilton from the Israel Guys showed how Hamas dresses up Israeli hostages to look like Hamas terrorists, to try and get them killed by friendly fire.
