IDF enters southern Lebanon in "limited" op against Hezbollah

Israeli forces have now crossed into southern Lebanon to conduct what the IDF describe as "limited and targeted" ground operations against Hezbollah. This is the necessary response to years of unrelenting aggression from a terrorist organization embedded in Lebanese territory, one that has turned southern Lebanon into a forward base for Iranian ambitions against Israel.

The IDF makes the purpose of the incursion clear: these actions target Hezbollah's key strongholds in order to expand and fortify Israel's forward defensive area. As the IDF statement puts it: "This activity is part of broader defensive efforts to establish and strengthen a forward defensive posture, which includes the dismantling of terrorist infrastructure and the elimination of terrorists operating in the area, to create an additional layer of security for residents of northern Israel."

One might almost call it common sense, if common sense had not become such a rare commodity in discussions of Israel's security. For nearly two decades, the residents of northern Israel have lived under the shadow of Hezbollah's rockets, its tunnels, and its constant menace. 

The time for passive endurance has passed.

Defence Minister Israel Katz stated plainly on Monday that the maneuver will "protect the residents of the Galilee and the North." He went further, addressing the grim demographic reality on the ground: "The hundreds of thousands of Shi'ite residents of southern Lebanon who have evacuated and are evacuating their homes from southern Lebanon and Beirut will not return to their homes south of the Litani region until the safety of the northern residents is guaranteed." 

The message could scarcely be clearer. Hezbollah has chosen to make southern Lebanon its battlefield; it has chosen to place its arsenals among civilian populations; it has chosen to fire on Israeli civilians with impunity. The consequences are now unfolding and for Hezbollah, stuff is hitting the proverbial fan.

Katz and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have directed the IDF  "to act and destroy the terror infrastructure" in villages near the Lebanese border, "to prevent threats and the return of Hezbollah to the area, exactly as was done against Hamas in Gaza in the Rafah and Beit Hanoun areas."

The parallel is deliberate and apt. In Gaza, Israel confronted a similar enemy: a terror group that embedded itself among civilians, used human shields as doctrine, and promised Israel's destruction. The operation there was thorough, costly, and effective in degrading the threat. Hezbollah now faces the same reckoning.

Katz's final words carry the weight of inevitability: "Hezbollah will pay heavy prices for its aggression and its activity within the Iranian axis to destroy Israel. Those who sought to destroy have been destroyed and will be destroyed."

There is a moral clarity here that much of the world prefers to obscure. Israel does not seek empire or conquest in Lebanon; it seeks security for its people. It does not fire rockets indiscriminately into civilian areas; its enemies do. And when those enemies pay the price they have invited, the chorus of condemnation is predictable—yet it changes nothing about the facts on the ground.

The residents of northern Israel have waited long enough. Hezbollah's aggression has a cost, and that cost is now being exacted.

IDF Takes Out Hamas Eastern Rafah Battalion Commander, Dozens More in Tunnel Ops

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) continue to methodically dismantle what's left of Hamas' military structure in southern Gaza, and the latest updates from Rafah show just how effective that pressure has become.

On Thursday, the IDF announced that an airstrike this past Sunday eliminated Muhammad Jawad Muhammad al-Bawab, the commander of Hamas's Eastern Rafah Battalion, along with his deputy and key members of his inner circle.

Here's the IDF's statement on al-Bawab’s record:

"Muhammad Jawad Muhammad al-Bawab, commander of Hamas' Eastern Rafah Battalion, who helped execute the October 7 Massacre and attacked IDF troops in Gaza through the course of the Israel-Hamas War."

Three additional terrorists, including al-Bawab's deputy, were killed in the same strike. After the Nahal Brigade followed up with a building search in eastern Rafah, troops confirmed one terrorist already dead from the airstrike and took out three more armed fighters on the spot.

Separately, the IDF reports that its forces have now killed over 40 Hamas terrorists who emerged from the sprawling tunnel network beneath Rafah, an area that has been under full Israeli control for months.

Israeli and U.S. officials have said that roughly 200 Hamas fighters had been bottled up in those tunnels for an extended period. Some have come up fighting and been eliminated; others, according to Israeli media reports, have surrendered.

Another day, another senior Hamas commander and dozens of his men removed from the battlefield. The tunnel-rat phase of this war drags on, but the attrition is clearly running in one direction.

Ceasefire? What Ceasefire? IDF Hammers Tunnel Rats Popping Up in Gaza

If there's one thing we've learned from this endless Hamasshole charade, it's that ceasefires with terrorists are about as durable as a paper umbrella in a monsoon. Just days into what was supposed to be a hard-won pause in the fighting, the IDF is already swatting down jihadists crawling out of their Gaza burrows like it's just another Friday afternoon at the office. And who can blame them?

According to the military's statement Friday, troops spotted several terrorists slithering out of a tunnel shaft in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza's favorite scumcrumpet playground, and heading straight for the soldiers on watch. The IDF didn't hesitate: precision strikes turned those tunnel exits into one-way tickets to Goatville. Over in Rafah, another batch of these cowards emerged from their underground lairs and started blazing away at IDF positions. Again, no Israeli casualties reported, thank G_d. The troops, the IDF emphasized, are right where they're supposed to be, deployed strictly in line with the ceasefire terms.

This marks the first time the military's publicly confirmed taking out threats inside Gaza since the ink dried on that fragile deal. [And let's be real: "fragile" is putting it mildly.] Because nothing says "peace process" like boots on the ground in a war zone. Khan Yunis: Hamas's Favorite Ambush Alley: If this sounds depressingly familiar, that's because it is. Khan Yunis has been ground zero for Hamas's tunnel-tactic tantrums over the last few months, desperate bids to catch Israeli forces off-guard and maybe snag a hostage or two for their propaganda porn. 

Let's not forget that in mid-August over 15 terrorists tried storming an IDF post in a full-on raid. The soldiers shut it down cold, but not without three of their own taking hits. Close calls like that don't exactly scream "lessons learned" for the bad guys.

Flash back to early August, and you've got the 36th Division tangling with about 13 armed goons in the same hellhole. These clowns were packing Kalashnikovs and RPGs, gunning for an ambush-slash-kidnapping op. Spoiler: They got the ambush part wrong. The terrorists hightailed it back into their rat hole of a tunnel, tails between their stinky legs.

What's the takeaway here? 

That ceasefire might buy a few news cycles of breathing room, but it doesn't magically seal up Hamas's subterranean subway system or their religious obligation to kill Jews. 

Israel's got every right, and frankly, every obligation, to defend its people from these pop-up pests. If blinking first means more ambushes and more body bags, count the IDF out. They've got the receipts: tunnels don't negotiate, and neither should we. Stay vigilant guys, because this "peace" is hanging by a Hezbollah-supplied thread.

Hamas Can't Even Last a Day Without Breaking the Ceasefire—Israel Hits Back Hard

If there's one thing we've learned about Hamassholes over the last couple of years, it's that these jihadist thugs treat ceasefires like suggestions for someone else. Barely 24 hours into this U.S.-brokered "peace" deal, and they're already lobbing RPGs and sniper rounds at IDF troops in Rafah. Israel, predictably, isn't in the mood for games—dropping airstrikes across southern Gaza to remind them who's got the bigger stick. This isn't just a skirmish; it's a neon sign flashing "ceasefire? What ceasefire?" and it could torch the whole fragile agreement before it even gets off the ground.

The Israeli military didn't mince words, pinning the blame square on Hamas terrorists who apparently couldn't resist playing whack-a-mole with soldiers dismantling terror infrastructure. An Israeli military official laid it out crystal clear to Fox News:

"Earlier today, terrorists fired an anti-tank missile and gunfire toward IDF troops operating to dismantle terrorist infrastructure in the Rafah area, in southern Gaza, in accordance with the ceasefire agreement."

"In response, the IDF has begun striking in the area to eliminate the threat and dismantle tunnel shafts and military structures used for terrorist activity."

Bahdahboom! That's how you respond to a blatant violation without apology. 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu huddled with his security brass and green-lit the IDF for "strong action" against any more of these Hamas tantrums. Because let's be real: If Israel doesn't draw a hard line now, these terrorists will be back to October 7 cosplay by breakfast. Hamas, of course, pulled their classic move, feigned innocence with a straight face that would make George Santos blush. They dropped a statement swearing up and down they had zero clue about the Rafah fireworks, because apparently their comms went dark months ago. 

The Ezzadine Al-Qassam Brigades (Hamas's "military" wing, if you can call a bunch of human-shield enthusiasts that) huffed: "We reaffirm our full commitment to implement everything that was agreed upon, foremost of which is a ceasefire across all areas of the Gaza Strip, We have no knowledge of any incidents or clashes taking place in the Rafah area, as these are red zones under the occupation’s control, and contact with the remaining groups of ours there has been cut off since the war resumed in March of this year."

Sure, "[N]o knowledge." That's terrorist-speak for "we totally did it, but good luck proving it while we hide behind hospitals." Meanwhile, the U.S. State Department jumped in Saturday, scorching Hamas for reportedly executing Palestinians they sniffed out as Israeli collaborators, because nothing says "peace partner" like summary executions in a "demilitarized" zone.

"This planned attack against Palestinian civilians would constitute a direct and grave violation of the ceasefire agreement and undermine the significant progress achieved through mediation efforts,” the State Department wrote. “The guarantors demand Hamas uphold its obligations under the ceasefire terms.”

“The United States and the other guarantors remain resolute in our commitment to ensuring the safety of civilians, maintaining calm on the ground and advancing peace and prosperity for the people of Gaza and the region as a whole," the statement concluded.

Hamas owned up to hitting a "hideout" for one of those Israeli-backed local militias, groups Bibi himself admitted back in June he'd armed to kneecap Hamas from the inside. Smart play; why not let the Gazans who hate these monsters do the heavy lifting? But in true Hamas fashion, it's just another excuse to spill blood and cry victim.

Adding insult to the injury, Israel slammed the Rafah border crossing shut "until further notice." Netanyahu's office made it plain: No dice on reopening until Hamas returns the remains of the hostages they're still squatting on. Fair's fair, those families deserve closure, not more empty promises from a group that's specialized in graves since day one.

If this powder keg doesn't blow up first, the roadmap ahead demands Hamas finally disarm (good luck herding those cats) and Israel pulling back another chunk of Gaza. But let's be real: Hamas has violated more deals than Adam Schiff lies. Until they prove they're serious, and not just stalling for the next rocket barrage, this "ceasefire" feels about as stable as Jenga in an earthquake. 

Israel, keep hitting hard; the free world's got your back.

Hamas unhappy with ceasefire proposal because it favors Israel's right to exist

Hamas is spitting mad, and they’re not shy about it. A source tight with the group told The Jerusalem Post that Hamas sees the latest ceasefire and hostage deal from US envoy Steve Witkoff as a blatant pro-Israel tilt, more lopsided than anything they’ve seen before. “Screwed over” is how they feel, with one insider griping to the Post that the US is peddling a proposal that doesn’t even pretend to guarantee an end to the war. 

No wonder they’re not buying Witkoff’s pitch at face value, Hamas is demanding tweaks, and they’re not whispering it.

The deal’s got some meat: 10 living hostages and the bodies of 18 would be freed, with 125 Palestinian lifers and 1,111 post-October 7 prisoners walking out of Israeli jails, according to Saudi outlet Al-Hadath. Gaza would also get a beefed-up aid flow. But here’s the problem: Hamas has to cough up all hostages in a week, leaving them with zero leverage. Personally, they should be made to release all the hostages immediately, but that isn't going to happen.

A source close to Hamas told Walla that Witkoff rolled over for most of Ron Dermer’s demands in a Tuesday sit-down, making the deal smell like an Israeli wish list.

Worse, there’s no ironclad US promise that the 60-day ceasefire will stick or morph into something permanent, which is always had done historically. Hamas has even promised to attack Israel again and again, until it's destroyed [and therefore all the Jews would be killed. And they try to say that it's Israel, not Hamas, who's employing genocide].

The source fumed to Walla: no clause says the truce holds if talks drag past 60 days, and Israel could pull a March rerun, breaking it unilaterally.

Hamas’ leadership isn’t playing coy. “The Hamas Movement’s leadership has received the new Witkoff proposal from the mediators and is reviewing it responsibly to serve the interests of our people, provide them relief, and achieve a permanent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip,” they said in a statement. 

But Basem Naim, a Hamas political bureau heavy, wasn’t so diplomatic. “The agreement that Israel agreed to does not meet our demands,” he told Reuters, adding that they’re “responsibly considering” their next move. Translation: they’re not signing this anytime soon.

Now, Al-Hadath’s report is stirring the pot, claiming Hamas is on the verge of agreeing to the 60-day ceasefire for those hostages. That’s in direct conflict with what sources are telling the Post and Walla. A senior Israeli official threw more shade, saying, “Contrary to reports, the Witkoff agreement proposed in recent days did not determine the new deployment line of the IDF, nor the manner in which aid would be distributed within the framework of a ceasefire.” So, what’s the real deal? Nobody’s saying.

The proposal itself? It’s got two rounds of hostage releases—10 living, 18 dead—plus that 60-day truce, extendable if both sides play nice. The IDF would pull back from parts of Gaza, and the UN would step in to handle aid distribution, a source told the Post. Sounds tidy, but Hamas isn’t biting. They’re digging in, convinced Witkoff’s deal is a trap dressed up as a lifeline.

IDF strikes Hamas targets over weekend operations

In a display of resolute precision, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) laid bare on Saturday the relentless campaign to dismantle Hamas’s sinister machinations in the Gaza Strip. The mission, as ever, is to pulverize the "terror infrastructure both above and below ground," a task pursued with unyielding determination.

Over the weekend, the Givati Brigade, in lockstep with the elite Yahalom unit and under the steely command of Division 143, obliterated a booby-trapped subterranean passage snaking hundreds of meters through Rafah’s Shaboura neighborhood—a testament to Hamas’s craven ingenuity. Alongside this, the IDF uncovered and destroyed caches of weapons, including a tunnel shaft brimming with explosives, each discovery a grim reminder of the enemy’s intent.

The 188th Brigade, meanwhile, dispatched more than 40 terrorists who dared threaten IDF forces, neutralizing them with surgical efficiency. They also eradicated weapons stockpiles and a Hamas-operated pickup truck, repurposed for nefarious ends, underscoring the group’s parasitic grip on civilian resources.

The Israel Air Force, a thunderous ally, lent its might through airstrikes that shattered terrorist strongholds, bolstering the ground offensive with devastating effect. This week alone, some 300 targets across Gaza were reduced to rubble, 150 of them in the weekend’s ferocious barrage. Since the onset of Israel’s righteous war against Hamas, over 1,400 such targets have been struck—a staggering tally of destruction aimed at an enemy that knows no scruple.

What emerges from this report is not merely the raw power of the IDF but the intricate coordination binding its units. Combat brigades, air forces, and artillery converge in a symphony of disciplined force, each note struck with the clarity of purpose. As the IDF presses forward, it does so not with the reckless abandon of a lesser force but with the calculated resolve of a nation that understands the cost of hesitation.

IDF zaps sniper honcho in Deir el-Balah, Rafah locked down like it's a Passover Piñata

Dump Sweet Dump

The IDF just dropped a bombshell (pun intended): they smoked Ubayd Allah Na'im al-Hadhud Musa, the number-two guy in Hamas’s sniper squad out there. Yeah, Sunday was not his day.

The IDF’s like, “We didn’t just wing it. ‘Prior to the strike, steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence.’” Translation: they dotted their i’s, crossed their t’s, and still turned Musa’s day planner to ash.

Oh, and earlier that same Sunday? The IDF and Shin Bet were playing tag-team, hitting a Hamas command center in the area. Joint op, total power move. They say, “At the time of the strike, numerous Hamas terrorists were operating from within the compound, planning terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops. 

The targeted terrorists had further plans to carry out additional attacks.” So, basically, Hamas was cooking up something nasty, and Israel RSVP’d with a missile.

Over Passover, while folks were munching matzah, the IDF was busy wrapping Rafah in a chokehold. They call it “encirclement”—sounds like a fancy dance move, but it’s more like Gaza’s southern tip getting shrink-wrapped. 

On April 2, Israel started grabbing what they’re calling the Morag Corridor—some old settlement zone between Rafah and Khan Yunis. Nostalgia, but with tanks.

This whole Rafah squeeze is part of a bigger plan: take ground, push people out. Since March 18, the IDF’s been blasting evacuation warnings to hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Rafah. “Pack up, head… somewhere.” Problem is, “somewhere” is shrinking fast, hemmed in by the sea. 

Good luck finding elbow room.

Defense Minister Israel Katz isn’t mincing words. He posted on X: “The more Hamas continues to refuse, the more the IDF will intensify its operations—targeting its operatives and destroying its infrastructure.” Then he added, “Gaza will become smaller and more isolated, and more of its residents will be forced to evacuate combat zones.” 

In other words, Hamas keeps playing hardball, Israel’s gonna keep swinging for the fences.

Senior Hamas official blown to smithereens in his tent in Khan Younis

He was a good ole scumwafer, but he's dead and gone

When asked what did he want to be when he grew up, Salah al-Bardawil said to his proud father that he wanted to be a soldier for Allah and kill all the Israelis and cleanse the world of Jews.

Well, Bardawil became that soldier with Hamas and became a top Hamasshole official. The shekels were good and the power was intoxicating. . . . until it ended overnight between Saturday and Sunday in an Israeli airstrike.

Bardawil was in his tent in al-Mawasi, near Khan Younis when all of a sudden, without warning, an Israeli fighter jet fired upon his tent and killing him beyond recognition. All that was left of the area was a huge crater.

According to Qatar-based Al Jazeera, 23 Arabs were killed in Israeli strikes across Khan Younis and nearby Rafah since midnight.

IDF Arabic-language spokesperson Lt. Col. Avichay Adraee had issued an urgent evacuation warning to residents of the Tel al-Sultan neighborhood in Rafah. “The IDF has begun operations targeting terrorist organizations. The area you are in is an active combat zone and extremely dangerous. Evacuate immediately,” he said in a statement. 

The question is: did Hamas allow non-combatants to leave or did they make them stay in order to enhance their propaganda machine? 

Al-Bardawil, was a member of Hamas’ political bureau. He was one of the few senior Jew-haters who chose to remain in the Gaza Strip along with his family since he had no regard for their safety either.

He was born in Khan Younis where he was known and loved by his fellow Khan men and often appeared in Arabic and international media where he promoted Israeli genocide--you know, Hamas' desire to end the Jews.

Al-Bardawil played a major role in the Palestinian Legislative Council that was elected into power in 2006 under the "Change and Reform" list. He was involved in several rounds of internal Palestinian negotiations, including talks between Hamas and rival faction Fatah.

According to Hamas, al-Bardawil was killed alongside his devoted to jihad wife and daughter during the overnight airstrikes on Khan Younis. 

In a statement, Hamas praised him as “an active figure who never abandoned jihad,” vowing revenge for his death. “The martyrs will fuel the battle. The more we lose, the fiercer the resistance will burn,” the Hamassholes said with smiles on their covered faces.

The now goat-involved Bardawil was once a strong opponent of security coordination between the Palestinian Authority and, you know, the Joooze of Israel. He thought of it as a betrayal of Allah's wish to eliminate all Israelis. 

During his political career, he participated in talks between the Palestinian factions, even as Hamas violently seized control of Gaza from Fatah, the movement led by Mahmoud Abbasshole.

As a bonus, the Hamas-affiliated Palestinian news outlet Quds Network reported that Muhammad Hassan al-Amour, an aide to Hamasshole leader Yahya Sinwar, was also blown into kibbles and bits in overnight Israeli strikes on Gaza.

Sources from Palestinian factions told the London-based Arabic newspaper Asharq al-Awsat that the IDF has recently killed Hamas field commanders involved in the group's military manufacturing operations, including rocket and explosive production. They said that some of the scumcrumpets who were destroyed were responsible for operating anti-tank missile squads and were directly involved in the planning and executing the October 7, 2023 attacks into Israel that killed 1,200 Israelis and kidnapped 251 others, many of whom were murdered in captivity.

Among those who had "gone to pieces" was Osama Tabesh, a top Hamasshole commander targeted in Khan Younis. Tabesh was previously implicated in exposing an elite Israeli special forces unit operating in Gaza in 2018, during an incident that resulted in the death of Lt. Col. Mahmoud Kheir al-Din. So, as Martha Stewart was famous for saying, "it's a good thing" these terrorists are gone.

This horrible war continues and insofar as any side can be considered a winner, Israel is winning. Hezbollah is but a husk of what it had been and Hamas only has hostages as bargaining chips. Hopefully they will be freed from their hateful captors and their captors be given the opportunity to meet al-Bardawil in hell.

Israel will annex areas of Gaza until hostages are released, states defense minister

Israeli defense minister Israel Katz said that the IDF will be expanding the buffer zone along the Gaza Strip's boundary in Gaza until the 59 hostages being held captive since the October 7, 2023 massacre perpetrated by Hamas and Islamic Jihad along with many Arab civilians.

“The more Hamas persists in its refusal to release the hostages, the more territory it will lose, which will be annexed to Israel,” he stressed.

“I have directed the IDF [military] to expand the maneuvre, take control of more ground and hold it permanently to protect Israeli communities and soldiers.”

“If the Hamas terror organization continues to refuse to release the captives, I instructed the IDF to capture additional areas, evacuate the population and expand the security zone around Gaza for the protection of Israeli communities through a permanent hold of the area,” according to a statement by Katz’s office.

“As long as Hamas continues its refusal, it will lose more and more land to Israel,” he added. “The alternative is total destruction and devastation.” 

Israel will use “all military and civilian pressure” to achieve its goals, including the “implementation of U.S President Donald Trump’s voluntary migration plan for Gaza residents,” concluded Katz.

The warning comes after the IDF on Thursday began conducting ground operations to dismantle terror infrastructure in southern Gaza’s Rafah. Simultaneously, troops continued ground activity in the northern and central Strip, as the Israeli Air Force struck terrorists and their assets across the enclave.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said the military was acting after the Hamassholes  rebuffed several offers by U.S. Middle East envoy Steven Witkoff to extend the first phase of the Gaza truce through Ramadan and Passover.

Netanyahu said on Tuesday that Hamas has “already felt our strength” since the military returned to fighting, warning that future ceasefire negotiations with the terror group “will only take place under fire.”

On Wednesday, Katz warned Gazans of “total destruction.”

“If all the Israeli hostages are not released and Hamas is not removed from Gaza, Israel will act with forces you have never encountered before,” Katz said.

It's time for Hamas to pay for their crimes.

Am Yisrael Chai!

Israel seems serious about winning the war: considering cutting off power to Gaza and resume fighting

Folks, let's cut through the garbage and get to the facts. Israel's government, according to the national broadcaster Kan, is mulling over some serious measures to pressure those terrorist scumcrumpets in Hamas to release more hostages. This comes after the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas went kaput over the weekend.

On Sunday, the first phase of the January 19th ceasefire expired, and these clowns couldn't agree on extending the hostages-for-truce deal or moving to phase two. Israel, being the reasonable party, embraced an American proposal to extend the truce through Ramadan and Passover, ending April 19th, in exchange for all remaining hostages in two transfers. But Hamas, in their infinite wisdom, insists Israel negotiate a full IDF withdrawal from Gaza. Give me a break.

So, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, showing some testosterone, ordered a halt to aid flowing into Gaza until Hamas resumes releasing hostages. Later that day, Israeli media reported Jerusalem's got a plan to squeeze Hamas until they cry uncle.

Channel 14 says Energy Minister Eli Cohen (Likud) will propose to the cabinet that Israel cut off Gaza from its electric grid. 

After Hamas' barbaric invasion on October 7th, Israel rightly severed Gaza's electric supply, leaving them reliant on generators and dealing with rolling blackouts. Last July, Israel, in a moment of misplaced generosity, resumed electricity to parts of Gaza for public facilities like water treatment and desalination. If Cohen's plan goes through, Gaza could face total blackouts once their fuel runs dry. Boo hoo.

If you're serious about winning a war, you take away your enemy's comforts and advantages.

But wait, there's more! Kan reports Jerusalem's considering evacuating northern Gaza again, sealing it off, and relocating residents to Khan Yunis and Rafah. And if that’s not enough, Israel might resume hostilities within a week, using heavy air munitions that Dementia Joe Biden banned.

Release the hostages or face the consequences of your idiotic choices Hamas. Israel’s done playing games with you terrorist losers.

IDF video of hostage tunnel shocked and divided Israel

It's almost a year now as Israel has been devastated and emotionally exhausted over the Israel-Hamas war. But on Tuesday, it was even worse after IDF Spokesman R-Adm. Daniel Hagari showed chilling images of the Gaza tunnel where Hamas executed six hostages last month.

The three-minute video clip showed Hagari descending from a children’s room with brightly colored walls and paintings of Snow White and Mickey Mouse in the Tel Al-Sultan neighborhood of Rafah, 20 meters into the hell where Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Carmel Gat, Eden Yerushalmi, Alex Lobanov, Almog Sarusi, and Ori Danino were held and murdered--shot multiple times in the head. 

It is believed that the men hostages attempted a last-ditch effort to protect the female hostages, but they were killed along with the women.

“Here is the place in the tunnel where the hostages were murdered,” Hagari said in his unemotional monotone. “Here you see their blood on the floor. Here were the last moments of Hersh, Eden, Carmel, Ori, Almog, and Alex. Here they were brutally murdered. We will learn what happened here. We need to learn very well what happened here.

“It is very hard to survive here,” Hagari continued. “They were heroes, heroes who were killed in cold blood by murderous terrorists who build tunnels under the rooms of children and hide in them with hostages.”

Islamic jihad is a sick, evil, bloodthirsty act that is supposed to be holy. 

Hagari revealed the terrible conditions in which the hostages were kept – a low ceiling that didn't allow them to stand upright, a cesspool, bottles of urine, and no ventilation. He mentioned how extremely humid it was. He found a broken hairbrush, a chess set, a flashlight, magazines for an AK-47, and a bullet casing. Among all these items, there was also a copy of the Qur'an, the Islamic 'scripture' that calls for hating Jews and unleashing jihad against "the unbelievers."

The compassionate people of Israel watched the video and felt the suffocating heat of the tunnel, smelled the disgusting stench, sensed the fear the hostages must have endured, and heard the cries. As they viewed the disturbing images on the 8 p.m. news, the anger from October 7 returned, and their rage boiled over once more, while many useful idiots of the West marched and demonstrated for Hamas.

However, the anger among Israelis was widespread as the horrifying images were broadcasted. Many Israelis directed their frustration towards Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his administration, arguing that the hostages would not have been murdered if Israel had not stubbornly insisted on remaining in the Philadelphi Corridor, which is only a short distance from the tunnel.

They were angry that Netanyahu and the government didn't jump at what they thought was the deal at hand and concluded that in order to keep the same fate from happening the remaining hostages, the deal needed to be made immediately.

Those presenting this argument assume—despite a lack of clarity—that a deal is possible. They believe that Hamas, despite recently increasing its demands by adding more names to the list of terrorist murderers they want released, is open to negotiating an agreement. 

They obviously don't know Hamas.

Others, however, correctly directed their anger at Hamas, in this writer's opinion. They highlighted the Hamassholes' brutality, so evident in the clip, and saw the video as justification for not striking a deal with Hamas, but, rather, using harsher measures against the terrorist organization, including ending the supply of humanitarian aid.

If this is how Hamas behaves, Yediot Aharonot journalist Amichai Attali wrote, articulating this same mindset, then Israel should halt all but essential humanitarian aid – water and flour – to Gaza.

A nation so deeply divided over how to free the hostages – by an agreement that would include giving in to some of Hamas’s demands or by continued military pressure – viewed the same grisly video and came to opposite conclusions, which is exactly what Hamas hoped would happen.

It's fully understandable how families of the remaining hostages want an immediate deal with the terrorists, but it should not come as a surprise that the remaining hostages still alive would be murdered before handing them over, if that hasn't already happened, because this is how Jew hatred works.

The only solution to this situation is to eliminate Hamas and those who would try to eliminate Israel.

2 PIJ commanders eliminated in IDF strike in central Gaza

Both PIJs extremely dead

On Thursday, an airstrike hit a command post that was located in a humanitarian zone. The military also reported hitting two former schools in Gaza City that were being used as command sites by Hamas.

Abdullah Khattab, the commander of the South Deir al-Balah Battalion for Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), and Hatem Abu al-Jidyan, the commander of the East Deir al-Balah Battalion for PIJ, were killed in the airstrike, according to an announcement on Saturday by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet.
Also on Saturday, the IDF said it had carried out airstrikes on command rooms operating from two former schools in Gaza City.

On Thursday, a military strike targeted a command room within a humanitarian zone in central Gaza's Deir al-Balah, according to the military.

Several terror operatives were killed in the strike. This included Abdullah Khattab, who was the commander of PIJ's South Deir al-Balah Battalion, and Hatem Abu al-Jidyan, the commander of PIJ's East Deir al-Balah Battalion, stated the IDF and Shin Bet.

The IDF reported that Khattab had led his battalion during the attacks on October 7 and was involved in many attacks on Israel and its troops, which included rocket and anti-tank fire.

Abu al-Jidyan also advanced numerous attacks against troops amid the ongoing fighting.

To minimize harm to civilians during the strike, the IDF stated that it implemented several measures, such as employing precision munitions, conducting aerial surveillance, and utilizing various intelligence sources.

Palestinians examine the aftermath of an IDF strike targeting a Hamas cell located within the Amr Ibn al-Aas School in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighborhood on September 7, 2024.

“This is another example of the systematic use by the terror organizations in the Gaza Strip of the population and civilian infrastructure, including the humanitarian zone, to carry out terror acts against the state and IDF troops,” the military said.

As for the Saturday strikes on the schools, according to the military, the Hamassholes were using the Amr Ibn al-Aas School in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighborhood to plan and carry out attacks against troops and Israel.

“Three martyrs and more than 20 wounded people were retrieved after an Israeli warplane fired two missiles at a prayer room and a classroom at the Amr Ibn al-Aas School, where refugees were sheltering in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in northern Gaza City,” Mahmud Bassal, spokesman for Gaza’s civil defense agency, told AFP.

In the other strike, the military said Hamas was using the Halima al-Sadia School in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighborhood to plan and carry out attacks against troops and Israel.

At least eight Palestinians were killed, the Palestinian Authority’s official news agency WAFA reported.

The IDF said earlier in a statement that it had “conducted a precise strike on terrorists who were operating inside a Hamas command and control center… embedded inside a compound that previously served as the ‘Halima al-Sa’diyya’ School in the northern Gaza Strip.” It said Hamas “systematically violates international law, brutally exploiting civilian institutions and the population as a human shield for terror activity.”

WAFA said the dead were in refugee tents inside the former school.

The IDF also said it carried out “many steps” to mitigate casualties in those strikes, as they always do.

In the last few months, numerous airstrikes have targeted Hamas locations situated within schools and other places used by civilians for shelter, as reported by the IDF.

In the crowded refugee camp of Nuseirat in central Gaza, Al-Awda Hospital reported receiving the bodies of nine individuals who died in two different airstrikes. One airstrike struck a residential building, resulting in four deaths and at least ten injuries. The other strike hit a house in western Nuseirat, killing five people.

Separately, Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, central Gaza’s main hospital, said a woman and her two children were killed in a strike on a house in the nearby urban refugee camp of Bureij.

The IDF shared a video on Saturday showing a recent clash with armed men in the Tel Sultan area of Rafah, located in the southern Gaza Strip. During this operation, soldiers stormed a building where the group of terrorists were hiding. During the raid, the gunmen threw a grenade at the soldiers, injuring at least one of them.

According to the IDF, the soldiers shot back and killed the gunmen. The soldiers found weapons and documents on the bodies of the attackers, the military said.

In the past few days, the IDF reported that their troops have killed many scumcrumpets in the Tel Sultan area.

IDF terminates Hamasshole Raef Omar Salman Abu Shab Yadda Yadda in Gaza strike

Raef Omar Salman Abu Shab was in charge of the rocket barrage fired at southern Israel from Khan Yunis in the hope of killing Jewish people. This was his task since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas War that began on October 7, 2023 when Hamas attacked Israeli citizens, raped, mutilated, beheaded, burned and otherwise killed men, women, children and babies.

The terrorist scum was killed by IAF aircraft last week in a strike in the Gaza Strip. Shab had been the commander of the Rocket Launching Platoon in Hamas' Eastern District Khan Yunis Battalion. While his past pronouns were he, him and his they are now was, were.

In other military action, in Rafah, the IDF's 162nd Division eliminated a gaggle of terrorists, raided terrorist targets and located a cache of weapons, the IDF reported.

In the past day, the IDF's 252nd Division killed terrorists who had posed a threat to the security forces. The IDF also said they struck 25 Hamasshole targets throughout Gaza comprised of terrorist squads, infrastructure and military structures.

Line up the goats, guys. You're getting company.

IDF kills 20 Hamassholes in Rafah and messes up their stuff

The Israeli Defense Forces eliminated at least 20 Hamassholes in Rafah and destroyed their rocket launchers that were aimed at Israel using fighter jets in the area where the projectiles were launched into Nirim on Friday.

The Nahal Brigade soldiers killed over 20 armed jihadis, targeted terrorist infrastructure, and found weapons, including a machine gun, Kalashnikov rifles, grenades, and military equipment while operating in the Rafah area over the past day, the IDF reported Sunday morning.

The Israeli military under the 162nd Division remains in Rafah and are going above ground and in the terror tunnels.  

Troops under Division 98 went deeper into operations in the Khan Yunis area and outside of Deir al-Balah.

Meanwhile, the Biden-Harris puppet masters are continuing to try for a ceasefire in order to allow some hostages to be released, and for Hamas to reload.

To the chagrin of 'The Squad' IDF kills 100 Hamassholes

Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) are sad upon hearing the latest development from the Israel-Hamas war on August 13.

[H/T The Jerusalem Post.]

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) killed 100 Hamassholes, destroyed terror tunnels in Rafah, and confiscated weaponry used by the terrorists to kill, you know, the Jews.

IDF soldiers from the Givati Brigade operated in the Shabura area in Rafah under the command of the 162nd Division, where they sent approximately 100 terrorists to their reward, the military stated on Tuesday.

Numerous weapons were destroyed along with Hamas infrastructure sites. While searching the area, the IDF located an armed terrorist cell and using precise targeting technology blew them to smithereens.

There was also close quarter combat where the soldiers found and destroyed  booby-trapped buildings and hideout locations. The soldiers engaged in firefights with the scumcrumpets who were barricaded in an apartment in the center of a civilian neighborhood, but could not find any women and children to use as shields and were thus, successfully eliminated.

After the firefight, soldiers entered the building, where they located weapons, military vests and equipment, and an operational tunnel shaft, the IDF reported.

Hopefully, the Jew-hating left will one day come to realize who the bad guys are.

IDF "virginizes" 2 Islamic Jihad commanders in Gaza City airstrike

The IAF of the IDF killed a pair of senior Islamic Jihad commanders, one of whom participated in the October 7 barbaric massacre that mercilessly slaughtered 1,200 Israelis, killing men, women, and children and taking around 250 hostages. 

The airshow was in two parts over Gaza City on Thursday and were part of the latest onslaught of bombardments. Three others who were alongside the commanders were also killed and Jannah is now preparing 360 brown-eyed virgin goats for the arrival of these scumwafers.

Islamic Jihad is among the extremist groups who helped the Hamassholes carry out the October 7 attack, and obviously got what they deserved.

In addition, the IDF conducted airstrikes over Zawayda and the refugee camps in Bureij and Nuseirat, as well as the city of Deir-Al-Balah, the last major urban zone in central Gaza that has yet to see a ground assault.

Hamasshole officials do not differentiate between terrorists and civilians in their death tallies. They said that at least 21 people were killed in the central Gaza airstrikes, but you can bet that at least 20 of them were pro-Hamas/anti-Semitic, if not all 21. 

The airshow bombardments came as the Israeli military pushed deeper into Rafah, where the last groups of Hamassholes are believed to be holding out.

Tanks advanced further into the western side of the city, where the IDF uncovered several entrances to Hamas’ tunnel network and in the process, they killed several terrorists.

The increase of conflict in Rafah, where hundreds of thousands of refugees had sought shelter after being displaced by the war in the north, has pushed a 60-bed Red Cross field hospital in the city to its limit, the International Committee of the Red Cross (IRCR) said Thursday.

“The repeated mass casualty events resulting from the unrelenting hostilities have stretched to breaking point the response capacity of our hospital – and all health facilities in southern Gaza – to care for those with life-threatening injuries,” ICRC Gaza sub-delegation head William Schomburg said in a statement.

With the IDF encroaching further into Gaza as the war stretches into its tenth month, CIA Director Bill Burns said Hamas’ Gaza chief Yahya Sinwar is coming under increased pressure to accept a US-backed cease-fire deal with Israel, CNN reports.

Hopefully, Sinwar will also get to meet his 72 virgins before a ceasefire goes into effect.

Israel and Hamas have resumed negotiation talks to discuss a deal that would immediately halt the hostilities and set up the groundwork to release the some 120 hostages remaining in Gaza, many of whom are feared dead.

Virgin Alert! Hamas weapons smuggler heading down to meet you

Wissam Abu Ashak got himself an irreversible abu boo by the IDF. 

Ashak has been smuggling weapons into Gaza through the Rafah crossing that were meant to kill Jewish men, women and children. He used tunnels to secret them in and had gotten away with it for too long.

But alas, an Israel Air Force (IAF) warplane struck and blew him away on Tuesday evening and he will therefore miss the Biden-Trump debate on Thursday. He was a big fan of the so called Squad and especially had a warm place somewhere inside his pants for Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and had a picture of the congresswoman hanging in his bedroom.

The IAF hit went down in southern Gaza, the military reported on Wednesday morning. 

According to Israeli military, the IDF said that F-16s  struck a missile launch site overnight in the Rafah area where ready-to-fire rockets were stored. In addition, terror cells and military structures along with tunnels were targeted.

On Monday, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi stated that the military's operational activities in Rafah were nearing an end adding that Hamas was almost dismantled in the southern Gazan City.

Now we must wait and see what Hezbollah plans to do.

The IDF's bloody week

The Israeli Defense Forces faced a bloody weekend as eight soldiers were killed in Rafah, southern Gaza. This was the deadliest incident for the IDF in six months. In northern Gaza, two soldiers were killed and another who was injured on Monday succumbed to his wounds.

Those who perished in Rafah are Eliyahu Moshe Zimbalist, 21, from Beit Shemesh; Itay Amar, 19, from Kochav Yair; Stanislav Kostarev, 21, from Ashdod; Or Blumovitz, 20, from Pardes Hanna-Karkur; Oz Yeshaya Gruber, 20, from Tal Menashe; Wassem Mahmoud, 23, from the Druze town of Beit Jann. 

Their deaths were apparently killed when an explosive device struck their Namer armored combat engineering vehicle early Saturday following a night of combat in Rafah's Tel Sultan neighborhood. It was reported that the IDF's 401st Armored Brigade killed about 50 terrorists.

This attack was the deadliest for the military since a January incident where 21 soldiers died following Hamas fire that collapsed two buildings.

The soldiers in North Gaza were killed when their tank was hit by an explosive device. They were Eitan Koplovich, 28, from Jerusalem, and Elon Weiss, 49, from Psagot.  

The IDF announced last night that another soldier, injured on Monday in a booby-trapped building – where four of his comrades were killed – has succumbed to his wounds. He is Yair Roitman, 19, from Karnei Shomron. The military death toll now stands at 311.

May their memory be a blessing and may they rest in peace.

Another top Hamas terrorist eliminated by IDF

According to i24 News – a top Hamasshole terrorist who was part of general security forces in Rafah, 

has secured eternity in Islam's version of Paradise [Jannah], a place where anti-Semitic virgins wait to provide sexual congress, where rivers of wine flow and young boys are there to provide comfort to the brave baby-killers.

Salame Muhammad Abu Ajaj [you know at least one of his names would be a version of Mohammad] was blown hither and thither along the dusty streets of Rafah. Ajaj was a commander of the general security forces in Rafah, but with all at his fingertips, he still couldn't provide himself with enough security to stay alive.

“The Hamas General Security Forces is a body that supports the Hamas Military Wing and is tasked with several key roles such as ensuring the survival of the organization, routine Hamas military activity, and the disruption of IDF operational activity in the Gaza Strip,” read the IDF statement. “As part of his role, Ajaj operated to strengthen and solidify the terror organization in the Rafah area.” [H/T i24News.]

Another Hamas terrorist killed alongside him is the mayor of Nuseirat Eyad al-Maghari, the IDF announced, to the great sadness of U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and her "Squad" partners.

IDF "Virginizes" Nukhba terrorists in Rafah region, finds tunnels and weapons

Tanks. Your velcome.

IDF troops of the 162nd Division located a large cache of weapons such as long-range rockets, explosives, and RPGs, during operations in the Rafah area of the Gaza Strip,  a spokesman said on Friday. [H/T Jerusalem Post.]

Then in central Rafah, the military of the Givati, Nahal and 401st Brigades discovered tunnels, weapons, and rocket launchers. The IDF also destroyed a Hamas weapons storage facility. No civilians were hurt because the IDF does all it can to minimize that happening, unlike Hamas, who tries to maximize that happening, like they did on October 7, 2023.

The military further stated that in the same area, an Israel Air Force aircraft "virginized" a Nukhba terrorist to his 72-ugly-virgin reward in Jannah. 

Meanwhile, in eastern Jabalya, IDF troops of the 98th Division and engineering forces demolished tunnel routes that were hundreds of meters long and sent more terrorists to their final screwing place. Fighter jets also targeted Hamassholes in the area sending some of them fleeing to their 9-year-old wives.

In parallel, forces of the 679th Brigade operated in central Gaza, where an aircraft killed jihadi terrorists in the area.

In the past day, the military noted, jets attacked many terror targets through Gaza, which included terror cells, terror infrastructure, weapons storage facilities, and military compounds.

At this rate, they're going to run out of virgins and may have to resort to other creatures.
