IDF Eliminates Hamas Commander Who Held Israeli Hostages, Including Capt. Daniel Perez

Another Mo bites the dust, gets his goats, and can harm no more

There are moments in war when justice, however incomplete, arrives with unmistakable clarity. The killing of Muhammad Na'im Jandiya by the Israel Defense Forces and the Shin Bet is one such moment. Of course, it doesn't undo the horrors of October 7, nor does it restore the lives that were stolen. But it removes from the world a terrorist scumwafer who devoted his life to kidnapping, terror, and murder.

The IDF announced Friday that Jandiya, the head of military security for Hamas's Shajaiyah Battalion, was killed in a strike in northern Gaza earlier this week. His record serves as yet another reminder of the nature of the organization that continues to cloak barbarism beneath the language of "resistance."

Jandiya participated in the kidnapping of Capt. Daniel Perez during the October 7 massacre, one of the darkest days in Israel's modern history. Perez commanded St.-Sgt. Itay Chen and Sgt. Tomer Leibovitz, both of whom were murdered during the assault. Another member of his unit, Matan Angrest, was taken hostage into Gaza.

After October 7, Jandiya also imprisoned Israeli hostages Yotam Haim, Samar Talalka, and Alon Shamriz in the labyrinth of tunnels beneath Gaza's Shuja'iya neighborhood. These three hostages were later tragically killed by Israeli forces in a heartbreaking case of mistaken identity, a reminder of the impossible moral terrain imposed by Hamas's deliberate strategy of embedding captives among terrorists.

In a video shared on social media, Rabbi Doron Perez, the father of Capt. Daniel Perez, responded to the news with words that reflected both grief and gratitude.

"What a zechut [honor] to live in a sovereign Jewish state where we are able to bring such evildoers to justice," he said. "We may be the smallest nation in the world, but we are the largest family. Am Yisrael Chai."

He also thanked the Shin Bet and the IDF for their relentless pursuit of "those who have done so much evil, bad, and plan to do more."

Yotam Haim, Samar Talalka, and Alon Shamriz

The IDF stated that Jandiya remained actively involved in Hamas's military operations until his death.

"As part of Jandia's senior position in the Shajaiyah Battalion, he also recently tried to promote terrorist plots against our forces operating in the Gaza Strip," the military announced.

The military further noted that Jandiya participated in Hamas's grotesque hostage release "ceremonies," carefully staged propaganda spectacles designed to sanitize an organization whose defining characteristics remain kidnapping, torture, and the deliberate targeting of civilians.

The death of one Hamas commander does not end the conflict. Nor does it erase the suffering inflicted on the hostages, their families, or the countless victims of October 7. But it does underscore an essential truth that is too often obscured in international debate: men like Muhammad Na'im Jandiya were not bystanders caught in war's crossfire. They were architects of atrocity who made terrorism their vocation.

His death is not a cause for celebration. It is the sober administration of justice against a man whose legacy consists entirely of cruelty, hostage-taking, and violence.

REPORT: Mohammed Odeh, responsible for the 10/7 murder, kidnapping, and injury of numerous Israeli civilians and soldiers dead

Israel announced on Tuesday that the Israel Defense Forces had carried out a strike in Gaza targeting Mohammed Odeh, [the surname 'h' is pronounced as an 'r'] whom officials identified as the new leader of Hamas’s military wing and a senior figure involved in the October 7 attack on Israel.

An Israeli official told Kan News that Odeh was killed in the strike, though his death has not yet been officially confirmed.

In a joint statement, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz declared that the operation had been conducted under their direction and had targeted Odeh, “one of the architects of the Oct. 7 massacre.”

According to the statement, Odeh had served as head of Hamas intelligence staff during the October 7 attack and had been appointed only about a week earlier to replace Izz al-Din al-Haddad.

Odeh “was responsible for the murder, abduction, and injury of many Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers,” the statement said.

Israeli officials reported that al-Haddad himself had been killed in an IDF strike in the Gaza Strip some two weeks earlier. Al-Haddad had been the head of Hamas’s military wing, one of the central planners behind numerous terror attacks, and among the last remaining senior figures involved in orchestrating the October 7 massacre. He had belonged to Hamas for roughly three decades and was regarded by Israel as a major threat to both civilians and soldiers alike.

Netanyahu and Katz praised the Israeli military and security services for the precision of the strike.

“Congratulations to the IDF and the Shin Bet for their ongoing efforts to eliminate our enemies,” the statement said, repeating Israel’s solemn pledge to continue targeting those connected to October 7.

“We will continue to pursue everyone who took part in the Oct. 7 massacre. Sooner or later, Israel will reach all of them,” the statement said.

The announcement identified Odeh as merely the latest senior Hamas figure to assume a leadership role in the group’s military wing, only to meet the same fate as his predecessors following recent Israeli operations in Gaza. In this grim but necessary accounting, the architects of that day of slaughter find no refuge.

Hamas is stockpiling weapons outside of Gaza

One might have thought that the notion of "disarmament" could be taken seriously when applied to an organization whose very charter calls for the destruction of a sovereign state and the extermination of its Jewish inhabitants. Yet here we are, in the curious aftermath of a ceasefire brokered by Washington, confronting the predictable farce that is Hamas’s response to Phase Two of President Trump’s twenty-point plan for Gaza.

The plan, in its admirable clarity, insists that Hamas must disarm if the Strip is ever to be rebuilt and its people given even the slimmest chance of a future unburdened by perpetual war. Hamas, being Hamas, has no intention of complying unless the pressure becomes quite literally unbearable. And so, with the foresight of a criminal syndicate that has survived longer than anyone predicted, it has already begun spiriting away its arsenal to safer climes.

As the Jerusalem Post reported on November 16, citing Israeli public broadcaster KAN: "Hamas has started stockpiling weapons in African countries, Yemen, and other nations sympathetic to the terrorist organization… The report follows the implementation of the US-broked ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, which stipulates the disarmament of the latter. According to Kan, the weapons are being stockpiled so that they can later be smuggled to locations, including the Gaza Strip, where Hamas can access them."

In plain English: Hamas has agreed to disarm in the same spirit that a snake agrees to become a vegetarian while quietly relocating the contents of the henhouse to a neighboring county. The destinations, one hardly needs reminding, are the usual suspects: Somalia, the lawless east of Libya under the Tripoli-based regime, the Houthi-ruled wastes of Yemen, and, let us not pretend otherwise, the indulgent salons of Qatar, the accommodating ports of Turkey, and, at the end of the supply chain, the arsenals of the Islamic Republic of Iran. 

A geography of fanaticism and failure, united by a single animating hatred.

Mossad, one presumes, is already mapping these ratlines across half the globe, though the task is rather like trying to count grains of sand in the Negev while the wind keeps blowing.

Meanwhile, the United Nations Security Council prepares to vote on yet another resolution, this one authorizing a multinational force to "demilitarize" Gaza, destroy its military infrastructure, and secure its borders, as if the paper on which such resolutions are written has ever restrained a single jihadist.

Hamas, for its part, has refused even to pretend it will surrender its weapons. And why should it? Since October 2023 it is believed to have recruited another twenty thousand young men eager to die for the cause. The organization is bloodied, certainly, but far from broken. Like some malevolent organism that regenerates faster than it can be cut, it has already ensured that whatever is confiscated in Gaza today can be replaced tomorrow from caches scattered across continents that have never met a terrorist they didn’t wish to support.

This is the reality of negotiating with millennial apocalypticism dressed up as "resistance." One does not disarm such people; one defeats them, or one waits for the next massacre. Everything else, the ceasefires, the resolutions, the earnest twenty-point plans, is merely the interval between atrocities. 

Hamas understands this perfectly. It is long past time the rest of us did too and it's also time to end Hamas' existence.

Fatah hosts a Palestinian jihad camp for future terrorists

Photo: Hamassholes

While kids around the globe are playing soccer, making friendship bracelets, and roasting marshmallows at summer camps, the Palestinian Authority has a different kind of summer fun in mind. Over in the "Fatah Army" camp, they're not teaching kids to tie knots or sing campfire songs. No, they're handing out military uniforms and parading armed PA Security Forces (PASF) members in front of children, grooming them to be the next generation of terrorists.

Don't take my word for it, Fatah's own people spelled it out at the camp's closing ceremony. They told the kids the goal was to create a generation that will "continue the path of the Martyrs and prisoners." Translation: follow in the footsteps of dead and jailed terrorists. Here’s the exact brag from their Facebook post:

"The Fatah Nablus Branch concluded the activities of the 'Fatah Army' summer camp, which lasted three days and included more than two hundred male and female campers … Fatah Nablus Branch Secretary-General Muhammad [aka Mo] Hamdan emphasized that the 'Fatah Army' camp is part of the effort to prepare a national generation that will carry the message, adhere to the basic principles of its people, and continue the path of the Martyrs and prisoners [i.e., terrorists] towards freedom and independence." [Fatah Movement – Nablus Branch, Facebook page, Aug. 4, 2025]

The post came with pictures, because apparently Fatah’s so proud of this they couldn’t resist showing off. Boys and girls decked out in military gear, marching alongside a female PASF member in full uniform. Another shot? Three PASF guys, decked out in flak jackets, clutching Kalashnikovs, chilling with the kids like it’s just another day at camp.

And if you're wondering why the PASF's so cozy with these kids, Fatah isn't shy about it. They've bragged that most of their recent "martyrs" (read: dead terrorists) came from their own ranks or the PASF. So, naturally, they're the perfect role models to teach these kids how to “continue the path."

Let's call it what it is: brainwashing kids into becoming child soldiers. It’s not just messed up, it’s a straight-up violation of international humanitarian law. But does that stop Fatah, the PA's ruling party, bankrolled by international donors? Not even one iota.
 little.

This isn't a one-off, either. Flash back to 2023: Fatah and PASF ran a camp where young boys were drilling with assault rifles. Another one had kids learning how to strip down and reassemble Kalashnikovs, plus some hand-to-hand combat for good measure. In 2022, they let hundreds of kids pose with PASF rifles like they were toys. And at another camp that year, Fatah and PASF gave weapons training to kids, explicitly to fight Israelis, who, by the way, a Fatah rep called "the sons of dogs." 

This is part of a bigger, uglier picture. The PA and Fatah have a whole strategy to turn Palestinian kids into soldiers. Palestinian Media Watch laid it bare in their 2022 UN World Children's Day report, and it's still going strong. Case in point: this January, at an event celebrating Fatah's 60th anniversary of its first terror attack, they had a girl recite a poem urging kids to turn everyday items into weapons against Israel:

"Students of the Gaza Strip, teach us a bit of what you know, for we have forgotten. Teach us how to be men, for we have men who have turned into dough. Teach us how the stone becomes a precious diamond in the hands of the children. How the child’s bicycle turns into a mine and the silk ribbon turns into an ambush. How the spout of the baby bottle, when placed under arrest, turns into a knife."

Bicycles into mines? Baby bottles into knives? This isn't summer camp, it's a masterclass in child abuse, courtesy of Fatah. And the world's still writing checks to keep this show running.

IDF fully engaged in Gaza Strip as Hamas runs away like scardy cats

The IDF is fully engaged in the Gaza Strip as Operation Gideon's Chariots move forward while negotiations are attempting to bring this war to an end. 

The IDF has brought all infantry and armored brigades into the Gaza Strip as part of the five divisions performing a ground maneuver over the weekend. The IAF continues flying sorties and have taken out a launch site where rockets had been fired into Israel over the weekend. Also struck was the Hamas bank that served as a conduit to transfer funds for Hamas.

It has been reported that most of the Hamassholes fled to the southern part of the Gaza Strip because they decided they don't like death as much as they bragged they did.

Israeli intelligence has learned that there is an internal Hamas military and economic crisis, with terrorists unpaid and weapons difficult to find. This isn't just true for Gaza, but also Lebanon and wherever they operate in the Middle East.

So while many condemn Israel for fighting back fiercely and refusing to surrender, the IDF and IAF are putting the terrorists back on their heels.

The fifth round of talks in Rome, between the US and Iran, took place over the weekend, but don't believe there was progress as not much was accomplished.

Gazans packed up to leave

In Israel, many civilians report getting suspicious phone calls in which the sounds of war are heard in the background, and the sounds of panic voices, claiming to be Israeli hostages begging for help are heard. Israeli officials warn that this is just another of tool in Hamas' psychological warfare for Israel to stop fighting. They suggest if you get the call, hang up and block the number.

So when jihadis tell you they love death more than you love life, ask them to prove it.

Meanwhile in Iran, the Iranian uprising is crippling their economy. Many are leaving Iran and taking their assets with them as truck drivers, bakers, and other small business owners are striking. The security forces appear to have lost control of the streets. 

Iran is beginning to look like Ottawa, Canada when they had their truckers strike.

IDF hits over 115 targets in Gaza, kills Hamas terrorists of Oct. 7 infamy

The IDF and Shin Bet just dropped a massive hammer, obliterating over 115 terror spots in Gaza in a single day, straight-up wiping out Nukhba terrorists who were in on that brutal October 7 massacre, the military confirmed Wednesday.

Check this: IAF jets, rolling tight with Division 162, zeroed in and smoked Mohammad Shahin, a Nukhba goon from Hamas’s East Jabaliya crew, up in northern Gaza. This dude Shaheen? Yeah, he was one of those who snuck into Israel and pulled off that October 7 chaos.

In just 24 hours, the Air Force lit up more than 115 targets across Gaza—launchers, military hideouts, tunnels, terrorist squads, you name it, they hit it.

Meanwhile, naval forces teamed up with ground troops, bringing the heat on terrorist targets in northern Gaza like it’s nobody’s business.

Oh, and over in Lebanon? The IDF wasn’t playin’—they launched an airstrike Wednesday in the Tyre area, taking out Hasin Nazih Baraj. This guy was no small fry; he was a weapons-making mastermind in Hezbollah’s research, development, and production division.

That division? It’s the one cooking up and stockpiling Hezbollah’s arsenal, including those precision-guided missiles they love to flex. Baraj, the slick engineer, was deep in the game, building setups for cranking out ground-to-ground missiles. His death’s a big middle finger to Hezbollah’s recovery plans post-Operation Northern Shield.

And let’s be real—Baraj’s moves were straight-up spitting on the Israel-Lebanon agreement.

College student falls to his death raising PLO flag

Fun Fact: On October 8, 2023, anti-Zionists were protesting Israel as they worried what the Jewish state was going to do in response to being attacked and massacred the previous day.

A university student from Tunisia fell to his death on Monday night after he fell while trying to put up a Palestine Liberation Organization flag on a campus building. He was showing support for a widespread strike announced by the Palestinian Authority proving karma is real.

The student was 21-year-old Fars Khaled,  a Muslim lad who attended the Higher School of Science and Design Technology (ESSTeDesign) in Den Den, located in Tunisia’s Manouba Governorate. 

This event happened on Monday evening when the anti-Zionist/anti-Semite tried to climb a three-story structure in the school’s garden, carrying a PLO flag. Well, Darwin's Law kicked in and the young man fell the three stories to his death that according to local news outlets occurred around 8:00 p.m.

A university guard discovered Khaled’s body near the garden structure he had attempted to climb, and local police were notified.

The Tunis Afrique Presse stated that the police began investigating Khaled’s death.

After reviewing security camera footage from the campus, investigators determined it was Israel's fault and perhaps even Donald Trump's.

School officials later released a statement expressing their sorrow over Khaled’s death, describing it as “a painful accident while trying to hang the flag of Palestine.”

Still, nobody on campus could tell the press exactly where Palestine is located.

The Palestinian Authority’s mission in Tunisia expressed its sympathies to Khaled’s family, saying, “In light of this great loss, the Ambassador of the State of Palestine to Tunisia – Rami al-Qudumi – and the embassy staff extend their sincere condolences and heartfelt sympathy to the family of the deceased.”

Khaled’s attempt was meant to align with a general strike that started Monday morning, organized by terrorists: the Palestinian National and Islamic Forces—a coalition of Arabs who hate the Jewish state, including the Palestinian Authority’s leading Fatah party and the Hamas terror organization.

The strike was a response to the continuing conflict in the Gaza Strip and affected areas like Judea, Samaria, and parts of eastern Jerusalem. 

On Sunday, the PNIF urged supporters worldwide to join the strike in solidarity with the Palestinian Authority or to show their support in other ways.

Hamassholes torture protester to death, leave his body on family's doorstep

A Gazan man who protested the terror group known as Hamas, was tortured to the point of death and his body was left on his family's doorstep. This was intended to be a warning to others in the Gaza Strip that if you are thinking of protesting the Hamassholes, this is what they will do to you.

The savagery of Hamas has no limits, like any terrorist group that believes they are doing G_d's work.

Uday Al Rabay, a mere 22 years old, was beaten to death last week in the so called Palestinian territories for the crime of daring to protest against the terrorist overlords who hold sway there. The New York Post reports that a senior officer tied to the opposition Fatah party confirmed the killing.

Mazen Shat, [imagine how much he was teased in school] a police officer affiliated with Fatah, told the Telegraph: "Uday was martyred by the criminals of Hamas. And what’s his crime? He told the truth, because he refused to be silent on injustice, because he did not kneel to Hamas." This young man’s fate was sealed, it seems, when pictures allegedly of him were circulated on Telegram following the protest. He was kidnapped and dispatched with ruthless efficiency.

Shat minced no words in describing the brutality: "Hamas is oppressing people in a brutal way. Like a puppy [with] a rope around his neck, they dragged [Uday’s body] to the door of his house and told his family that this is the punishment for those who complain about Hamas." 

Hamas has got to be totally destroyed--every single one of them.

The backdrop to this barbarism is the renewed Israeli bombardment of Gaza, which resumed after a two-month ceasefire with Hamas collapsed. The people of Gaza, caught between the hammer of Israeli airstrikes and the anvil of Hamas’s iron fist, have taken to the streets to vent their rage at the latter. Sam Habeeb, a Gazan based in London, told the Telegraph: "People have been under Israeli bombing since October 2023, they don’t want the war to continue by all means." Who can blame them?

The protesters’ demands are unequivocal. "The people do not want the rule of Hamas. The rule of Hamas is over," one declared, as reported by the Akron Jewish News. 

"This Hamas rule has destroyed us, killed us and displaced all the people." These are not the words of docile subjects content to live under tyranny. They are the cries of a people pushed beyond endurance by theocratic thugs who care nothing for their lives or liberties. Uday Al Rabay paid the ultimate price for giving voice to that desperation. How many more must die before the world takes notice?

Hamas' prime minister killed in surgical strike just days after his predecessor

They called him Ismail

A senior member of the Hamas political bureau, Ismail Barhum was killed on Sunday in a targeted, surgical strike, Palestinian media sadly reported. The precision strike hit a Khan Younis hospital where Hamas operatives hid out among the Arab population and where Barhum was working out of.

Barhoum was responsible for the regional distribution of funds to his fellow Jew-hating terrorists. He was the fourth senior member of Hamas to be sent to Jannah in targeted strikes in the past 24 hours, and with good fortune, will not be the last.

As this strike was being carried out, the IDF was preparing to advance a division of tanks to the border with Gaza as preparations to expand the offensive that began last week, were underway.

The IDF and Shin Bet said hours earlier that two senior Hamas commanders were killed in a targeted airstrike. The military said the attacks were meant to degrade the terror group's military capabilities and remove threats to Israel and the forces. However, the best way to remove threats to Israel in the future, is to destroy Hamas and Hezbollah altogether, and to take over Gaza.

The terrorist leaders were Hamas' Gaza Brigade deputy commander Ahmad Salman ‘Awj Shimali, responsible for operations, planning the offensive strategy, and building the brigade's force in preparation for Hamas's massacre on October 7. and the terror group’s Shijaiyah Battalion commander Jamil Omar Jamil Wadiya. They were not decent human beings and what they were responsible for at that Nova festival massacre, is clear proof they deserved what they got.

“Wadiya was responsible for deploying the battalion's forces against IDF troops and operated to restore and reorganize the battalion, the IDF said He was also involved in the anti-tank missile attack on a school bus in April 2011, in which a 16-year-old boy was murdered,” the IDF added.

As I wrote earlier, the IDF said it had killed Salah al-Bardawil in an overnight strike on his tent in the humanitarian zone of al-Mawasi, near Khan Younis. Al-Bardawil, a member of Hamas’ politburo, was one of the few senior leaders who chose to remain in the Gaza Strip throughout the months of fighting because in spite of his high rank in the terrorist organization, he wasn't very bright and due to his stubborn resolve, his daughter was killed with him.

Over the weekend, Defense Minister Israel Katz  ordered the IDF to seize additional territory in Gaza and had the local population of anti-Zionists leave and go to humanitarian areas to expanding security zones around Israeli border communities.

"As long as Hamas continues to refuse to release the hostages, it will lose more and more land, which will be annexed to Israel," Katz said.

The IDF Home Front Command eased restrictions in most Gaza border communities after the IDF’s limited operation in Gaza. Under the new guidelines, gatherings of up to 2,000 people are now permitted and educational activities can resume without limitations.

In the meantime, U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff said on Sunday that Hamas is responsible for the renewed fighting in Gaza after rejecting efforts to move forward with what had been an "acceptable deal."

"So this is on Hamas. The United States stands with the state of Israel," Witkoff told Fox News. "Hamas had every opportunity to demilitarize, to accept the bridging proposal."

Hamxs plans to adopt "Hezbollah model" in Gaza Strip, according to Foreign Minister Sa'ar

In an interview with ABC News on Tuesday, Gideon Sa'ar said that Hamas is ready “to take the ‘Hezbollah model’ and to let someone else take care of the ruins they left behind in the Gaza strip,”

Sa'ar explained in a video on X, that he doesn't think Hamxs is ready or willing to disarm and willingly end the violence in Gaza and its 'holy war' against the Jews. And let's not pretend it's anything other than an Islamic-based war because the Jew killing began long before Israel was a Jewish state and it has nothing to do with Jewish occupation, but has more to do with Jews not being dead.

“If they will be ready to disarm,” Sa'ar said, “that would be a huge thing that could change the entire equation,” but he was clear that Hamxs “wants to continue to be the most powerful military force in the Gaza Strip in order to continue the war against Israel.”

ABC News correspondent Matt Gutman pressed Sa’ar, asking, “And you’re saying this is something Israel will not accept?”

“No, this is totally unacceptable,” the Israeli Foreign Minister responded. “Because for us, we will not be able to guarantee our security without this disarmament of Gaza Strip, of Hamas, of Islamic Jihad.”

Of course Sa'ar is correct: as long as Hamxs has one Hamxsshole still standing, that Jew-hating cretin will try to kill Jews.

While this interview was being held, US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff was landing in Doha, Qatar to meet mediators of Egypt and Qatar in negotiations between Israel and Hamxs regarding a new hostage deal and ceasefire.

According to a recent report in The Jerusalem Post, Israel has drafted a step-by-step plan to escalate pressure on Hamas if the terrorist group does not release the remaining hostages, Israeli security analysts told The Wall Street Journal.

The plan includes cutting off essential supplies, launching airstrikes, forcing Gazans who have returned to the north to evacuate again, and ultimately reentering the Gaza Strip if a deal is not reached. You know, the kind of strategic plan a nation at war would normally implement immediately, unless they're Israel and expected to supply their enemy with free food, electricity and other humanitarian aid. What other country in the history of the world does that save Israel?

If you would like to support my work, you can Buy Me A Coffee or subscribe to Brain Flushings. Thank you.

Israeli security analysts also explained that if economic and infrastructure pressures fail, the IDF may escalate to targeted airstrikes and special forces raids against Hamxs leadership and military positions, like in a real war.

Ultimately, Israeli forces may launch a full-scale military operation, deploying more troops than in previous conflicts with the objective of holding ground and effectively dismantling Hamxs’s remaining military infrastructure. Sources familiar with the plan described this as the most extensive operation to date.

President Trump rejects Arab proposal: has plan to remove Gazans

An Arab-backed proposal to remove Hamas from power and leave Gazans in Gaza was rejected by a Trump administration spokesman. The US is firmly behind President Trump's hope for resettling the Gaza Strip population and sending them out--after all, it seems obvious that most Arabs in Gaza were in support of Hamas and the genocide of all Israelis.

So on Tuesday, the US rejected Egypt's plan to rehabilitate the Gaza Strip and remove Hamas from power, since this would likely never happen in reality, but might give the appearance that peaceful co-existence by the two million anti-Zionists with their Israeli neighbors was possible.

Arab leaders on Tuesday at a Cairo summit voted to support a 112-page proposal drafter by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi's government. The proposal is an alternative to Trump's Gaza resettlement plan whereby Gazans would be relocated to third-party countries and the Gaza Strip would be transferred to the US.

Under the Egyptian proposal, a non-partisan [LOL] interim committee of anti-Semitic Palestinian Arabs would be formed to administer Gaza after the formal end of the current war between Israel and Hamas.

Once the Palestinian Authority has undergone a major reformation, control of the Gaza Strip would be transferred from the committee to the PA, [not to be confused with Pennsylvania] an Islamic group of Arabs who are basically anti-Semitic and who believe Israel is "Little Satan."

Foreign aid would pay for the years-long reconstruction and rehabilitation of the Gaza Strip in the Egyptian plan, while Gazans would be temporarily relocated within the Strip during the lengthy period of rebuilding, after which they can return and make plans to attack Israel again for the sake of jihad.

Hours after the plan was adopted at the Cairo summit, however, White House National Security Council spokesperson Brian Hughes said Tuesday night that the U.S. would not accept the Egyptian plan, and that the administration remains committed to the president’s resettlement plan.

Hughes argued that the Gaza Strip is presently “uninhabitable,” necessitating their relocation.

“The current proposal does not address the reality that Gaza is currently uninhabitable, and residents cannot humanely live in a territory covered in debris and unexploded ordnance,” Hughes said.

“President Trump stands by his vision to rebuild Gaza free from Hamas. We look forward to further talks to bring peace and prosperity to the region.”

Hamas refused to release of hostages after ICRC refused to glow in the glee

The scumwafers of Hamas wanted the Red Cross to take part in the upbeat ceremony of the deaths of the Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir Bibas, along with Oded Lifshitz, but they initially refused to partake in the celebrations because it makes for bad press when sweet innocent babies are killed, their mother and an old man. Channel 12 reported the news Thursday.

Due to the refusal, the Hamassholes threatened not to transfer the bodies of the hostages.

During the release of the hostages, a Red Cross representative signed Hamas documents on a stage in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, after which Hamas terrorists handed over the coffins to Red Cross vehicles.

The people who call themselves Palestinians and Hamas celebrated in the streets and many even brought along their own children to watch the festivities.

The Red Cross then transferred the locked coffins to the custody of IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) forces within the Gaza Strip.

On Wednesday, ahead of the expected release, the Red Cross called for privacy and dignity in the release, as if Hamas would actually allow propaganda optics to get past them.

"We must be clear: any degrading treatment during release operations is unacceptable," the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said in a statement, as reported by the Jerusalem Post.

The four coffins of the murdered hostages arrived at the L. Greenberg Institute of Forensic Medicine at Abu Kabir for identification.

At the end of the identification process, an official announcement will be given to the families.

Upon reception of the coffins, they were wrapped with Israeli flags, and the Military Rabbinate chief, Brigadier-General Rabbi Eyal Krim, recited Psalm 83:

Psalm 83
A song. A psalm of Asaph.
1 O God, do not remain silent;
do not turn a deaf ear,
do not stand aloof, O God.
2 See how your enemies growl,
how your foes rear their heads.
3 With cunning they conspire against your people;
they plot against those you cherish.
4 “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation,
so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.”
5 With one mind they plot together;
they form an alliance against you—
6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
of Moab and the Hagrites,
7 Byblos, Ammon and Amalek,
Philistia, with the people of Tyre.
8 Even Assyria has joined them
to reinforce Lot’s descendants.
9 Do to them as you did to Midian,
as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,
10 who perished at Endor
and became like dung on the ground.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,
all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 who said, “Let us take possession
of the pasturelands of God.”
13 Make them like tumbleweed, my God,
like chaff before the wind.
14 As fire consumes the forest
or a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
15 so pursue them with your tempest
and terrify them with your storm.
16 Cover their faces with shame, Lord,
so that they will seek your name.
17 May they ever be ashamed and dismayed;
may they perish in disgrace.
18 Let them know that you, whose name is the Lord—
that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.

The IDF added that the episode was dutifully recorded with photos and videos but that nothing will be distributed to the public until and if the families of the deceased so approve.

It's time to completely obliterate Hamas and every person involved in the October 7, 2023 massacre of Israelis, the kidnapping of 251 Israeli citizens that day, and everyone, to the last adult, involved in terrorism against Israelis, be they Jews, Christians, Muslims, Druze, atheists and anyone else affected by the hatred and violence.

'Level it': Trump says US will 'take over' Gaza strip and rebuild it to stabilize Middle East

In the grand chamber of the White House, where history has been both made and mangled, President Donald Trump assembled with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a press conference that would send shockwaves through the corridors of international diplomacy. The U.S., Trump declared with the kind of audacity that has become his hallmark, "will 'take over the Gaza strip,' level it and rebuild the area."

"The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too," Trump stated, his voice resonating with the confidence of a man who sees himself not just as a leader, but as a developer on a global scale. "We'll own it, and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous, unexplored bombs and other weapons on the site."

He continued, painting a picture of renewal with the broad strokes of his rhetoric: "Level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out, create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area. Do a real job. Do something different. Just can't go back. If you go back, it's going to end up the same way it has for 100 years."

This was the first meeting of its kind in Trump's second term, a meeting that could be seen as either visionary or reckless, depending on one's perspective on Middle Eastern geopolitics.

Trump's vision of the U.S. in a "long-term ownership position" over Gaza was pitched as not merely an exercise in power but as a stabilizing force. "I see it bringing great stability to that part of the Middle East, and maybe the entire Middle East. And everybody I've spoken to — this was not a decision made lightly — everybody I've spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land. Developing and creating thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent in a really magnificent area that nobody would know. Nobody can look because all they see is death and destruction and rubble," he claimed, perhaps with more optimism than realism.

The discussions between Trump and Netanyahu weren't just about the physical landscape of Gaza but also about broader regional issues, including the tenuous ceasefire with Hamas, Iran's influence, and the resettlement of Gazans. Trump, ever the pragmatist in his own way, remarked, "In our meetings today, the prime minister and I focused on the future, discussing how we can work together to ensure Hamas is eliminated and ultimately restore peace to a very troubled region. It's been troubled, but what's happened in the last four years has not been good."

He described Gaza starkly: "The Gaza Strip has become 'a symbol of death and destruction for so many decades and so bad for the people anywhere near it.'" His vision for change was clear, "It should not go through a process of rebuilding and occupation by the same people that have really stood there and fought for it and lived there and died there and lived a miserable existence there."

Netanyahu, ever the ally, praised Trump's unconventional approach, his ability to see beyond the fog of traditional diplomacy. "Your willingness to puncture conventional thinking, thinking that has failed time and time and time again, your willingness to think outside the box with fresh ideas, will help us achieve all these goals," he said, appreciating Trump's straightforwardness. "And I've seen you do this many times. You cut to the chase. You see things others refuse to see. You say things others refuse to say, you know. And after the jaws drop, people scratch their heads and they say, you know, he's right."

The Israeli Prime Minister concluded with a nod to the potential of this partnership, "Israel's victory will be America's victory," he declared, envisioning a future where peace is not just a possibility but an achievement of their joint efforts. "We will not only win the war working together, we will win the peace. With your leadership, Mr. President, and our partnership, I believe that we will forge a brilliant future for our region and bring our great alliance to even greater heights."

Thus, in the East Room of the White House, under the gaze of history, a bold new chapter for Gaza was proposed, one that would either be remembered as a stroke of genius or a folly of hubris.

Trump wants Arab nations to take on more Gaza Arabs

President Donald Trump said on Saturday that he wants to resettle residents of the Gaza Strip in Arab countries, shaking up Middle East diplomacy in his unique way.

Trump told reporters on Air Force One that he had asked King Abdullah II of Jordan in a phone call earlier in the day to "take people" from war-torn Gaza and planned to make a similar request to Egyptian president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in a phone call on Sunday. Trump suggested that mass emigration from the strip, whether "temporarily" or "long term," could help resolve "centuries" of conflict.

"You’re talking about a million and half people, and we just clean out that whole thing. You know over the centuries it has had many, many conflicts, and I don’t know, something has to happen," Trump said. "But it's literally a demolition site right now, almost everything is demolished and people are dying there. So I'd rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing at a different location where [Gazans] can maybe live in peace for a change."

The response from Israel was notably muted, and even politicians who have advocated Gazan emigration told media outlet Washington Free Beacon that Egypt and Jordan were unlikely to agree to Trump’s requests. However, some right-wing politicians hailed the proposal as a chance to break away from the traditional U.S. call for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

"For years, politicians have proposed impractical solutions like dividing the land and establishing a Palestinian state, which endangered the existence and security of the world’s only Jewish state, leading only to bloodshed and suffering for many. Only out-of-the-box thinking and new solutions will bring about peace and security," Israeli finance minister Bezalel Smotrich said in a statement. "I will work closely with the prime minister and the cabinet to ensure that there is an operational plan to implement this as soon as possible."

Ohad Tal, a member of Israel’s parliamentary defense committee from Smotrich’s Religious Zionism party, told the Free Beacon that Trump’s remarks had given a major boost to the "only logical and just solution" to the conflict.

"It will allow the Palestinians who leave to build a better future for themselves somewhere else, and it will minimize the conflict here, which is good for everyone," said Tal, who has advocated Gazan emigration to Trump associates. "It’s good for Israel, it’s good for the region, and it’s good for the Americans, who don’t want to have to be bothered by the Palestinians starting a war every couple years."

Palestinian, Jordanian, and Egyptian leaders on Sunday reaffirmed their opposition to any large-scale resettlement of Palestinians.

"We call on the U.S. administration to cease these proposals, which align with Israeli plans and directly contradict the rights and free will of our people," Hamas, the dominant Palestinian terrorist group in Gaza, said in a statement. "We also call on Arab and Islamic countries, especially our brothers in Egypt and Jordan, to reaffirm their steadfast positions in rejecting displacement and expulsion."

President Mahmoud Abbas of the West Bank Palestinian Authority "expressed strong rejection and condemnation of any projects aimed at displacing our people from the Gaza Strip," according to a statement from his office that did not specifically refer to Trump.

Jordanian foreign minister Ayman Safadi said in a statement, "Our rejection of the displacement of Palestinians is firm and will not change. Jordan is for Jordanians and Palestine is for Palestinians."

While Egypt did not publicly comment, Saudi news station Al Hadath reported on Sunday that Sisi remained firmly opposed to accepting any Gazans into his country.

Despite the rejections of the Arab leaders, Tal voiced confidence that ordinary Gazans would be ready to leave the strip and that Trump—who has often used bold threats to win concessions from foreign interlocutors—could find countries willing to take them.

"It takes courage to execute new ideas," Tal said. "But I think Trump is someone who has proven he can implement these kinds of ideas."

Amit Halevi, another member of the defense committee from the ruling Likud party, told the Free Beacon that Israel should work with Trump to enable and encourage hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to leave Gaza, particularly young adults.

"They have no future under the Hamas regime," he said. "They want to get out. Let them get out."

Once considered mostly by Israel’s far right, the idea of facilitating Gazan emigration went mainstream after the events of October 7, 2023, when Hamas terrorists and ordinary Palestinians conducted a massacre and mass abduction in southern Israel, starting a war that left much of Gaza in ruins.

That November, Ram Ben Barack of the centrist Yesh Atid party and Danny Danon, then a Likud lawmaker and now Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, co-wrote a Wall Street Journal op-ed calling on "countries around the world to accept limited numbers of Gazan families who have expressed a desire to relocate."

The following month, Israeli prime minister Netanyahu told a Likud faction meeting, "Our problem is [finding] countries that are willing to absorb Gazans, and we are working on it."

However, in January, several Israeli officials, facing U.S. and European criticism, spoke out against their colleagues' calls for Gazan immigration, saying the idea was unrealistic and damaging to Israel’s international standing.

"It’s clear that there is nobody in Israel who wouldn’t be happy if Gazans decided to emigrate voluntarily if they were happy to leave," but that is not going to happen and public discussion of the issue is unhelpful, Likud Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar told Israel’s Ynet news site at the time. "We see the repercussions, we see what happened with the Americans."

Gilad Kariv, from the left-wing Democrats party, was one of the few Israeli officials to publicly oppose Trump’s proposal on Sunday.

"Israel has no interest in this happening," Kariv told Israel’s 103FM radio, "certainly not in relation to Jordan because the stability of the Hashemite Kingdom is a clear security interest of Israel."

Hostage deal may free 3,000 terrorists for Israeli hostages

Israel could potentially release as many as 3,000 jailed Palestinian terrorists as part of a hostage deal currently under discussion in ceasefire negotiations in Doha, Qatar, according to a Palestinian source on Sunday. Some of these scumwafers are serving life sentences.

According to a report by the Bethlehem-based Ma’an News Agency, the latest draft of a potential hostage deal would, in its first phase, facilitate the release of 25 Israeli hostages held in the Gaza Strip, in exchange for freeing approximately 1,050 jailed terrorists.

The report quotes Qadura Fares, the Palestinian Authority’s Minister for Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs, who stated, "During the first phase of a three-phase ceasefire, 48 Palestinian terrorists freed as part of the 2011 Shalit deal and subsequently rearrested for new terror activities would be released again, along with 1,000 other terrorists."

Fares further explained that the 1,000 terrorists to be freed in the first phase would include female terrorists, those under the age of 18, and those with serious medical conditions.

In the subsequent phases of this proposed deal, Fares noted, "Israel would release an additional 2,000 jailed terrorists, in exchange for the release of all remaining hostages – alive and dead."

He also mentioned that 200 of the terrorists released during the initial phase would be those serving life sentences for murder. Although most of the terrorists would be allowed to return home, those convicted of the gravest offenses would be expelled from the country, forced to live in exile in either Qatar, Turkey, or Egypt, Fares added.

Israel’s chief negotiator, Mossad chief David Barnea, is scheduled to travel to Doha to lead these discussions, as announced by Prime Minister Netanyahu on Saturday, following a delay in Barnea's trip last week.

IDF destroys shaft where terrorists embedded themselves in Jabalaya

The Israel Defense Forces destroyed an underground shaft where a group of terrorists were embedded. The shaft was located in Jabalya in the northern Gaza Strip, the Israeli military said on Tuesday. 

[H/T Jerusalem Post]

On Tuesday, the IDF confirmed that in October, Staff-Sergeant-Major (res.) Ori Moshe Borenstein, Major (res.) Netanel Hershkovitz, and Staff-Sergeant-Major (res.) Tzvi Matityahu Marantz were killed during an incident while they were engaged in operations in the same area.

And now with president-elect Trump getting ready to take the reins on January 20, the terrorists may just be terrified enough to surrender.

IDF eliminates Hamas commander found in former Gaza school

The Israeli Air Force (IAF) located and precisely targeted Mumin Al-Jabari, a high-ranking member of Hamas' Gaza City Brigade sniper unit, as confirmed by the IDF in a statement released late Wednesday night.

According to the IDF, Al-Jabari was operating from within a building that had previously functioned as the Al-Tabaeen school.

"Al-Jabari directed and carried out terror attacks against IDF troops in the Gaza Strip and stored a large amount of weapons in the room in which he operated," the statement detailed.

"In August, the IDF struck the structure, used as an active shelter, and eliminated over 30 Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists."

"This is another example of the Islamic Jihad's systematic exploitation of civilian infrastructure and the civilian population as a human shield for its terrorist activities," the IDF stated, highlighting the misuse of civilian spaces.

The strike was executed with the guidance of IDF and ISA intelligence. The IDF emphasized that measures were taken to minimize civilian casualties, stating, "including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence."

The IDF concluded by reaffirming its commitment to continue targeting terrorists who use schools and other civilian structures as shelters.

IDF ends over 100 terrorists, destroys labs in Judea and Samaria

In the past week, the IDF has conducted extensive counter-terrorism operations throughout Judea and Samaria area in the Jordan Valley, and the Gaza Strip, resulting in the elimination of over 100 terrorists and the seizure of numerous weapons and explosives, according to a military statement released on Friday evening.

In operations based in Jenin, Tulkarm, and Far'a, around 35 terrorists were killed, and 45 others were apprehended. The military also reported the successful confiscation of dozens of weapons and explosives, culminating in the destruction of three explosive laboratories.

In the North, the military executed around 50 strikes targeting buildings, infrastructure, and weapon storage sites, along with multiple rocket launchers aimed at northern communities.

In the Gaza Strip, the IDF successfully dismantled over 40 terror infrastructures, including Hamas command and control centers that were covertly operating as schools, colleges, and humanitarian facilities. During these Gaza operations, over 100 terrorists were eliminated, and several tunnel shafts were uncovered.

The Biden Gaza Strip Pier Debacle

Former President Joseph Biden was warned that building a "humanitarian pier" in the Gaza Strip would be torn apart by an angry sea and other issues. True to form, Biden saw it as a political showcase for his fake humanitarianism so he ignored the warnings. 

A recent Inspector General report confirms Biden's knowledge of what eventually became yet another clusterfrack (sic) handed down by this garbage administration, and it cost the taxpayers $230,000,000.

The IG report states:

"Discussions about establishing a pier to deliver humanitarian assistance to Gaza took place before President Biden’s announcement at the State of the Union on March 7. According to a senior BHA [Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance] official, interagency discussions had considered options for commercial and DoD-supported piers to establish a maritime corridor into Gaza. At the time, BHA advocated for transporting aid through land routes and did not pursue planning a maritime route because of the logistical and technical challenges it would present." 

So his expensive virtue-signaling was as effective as the Covid vaccines as it turned out.

Ironically, the Gazans weren't all that hungry for the pier and warned the administration about this before the pier was built. In spite of that, Biden wanted to move forward with the pier.

The report continues:

"Security concerns also significantly impacted the distribution of humanitarian assistance delivered through JLOTS [Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore]. Before its launch, WFP [World Food Program] highlighted in its USAID [United States Agency for International Development] award documentation that lack of community buy-in among Palestinians for the maritime corridor could result in significant safety and security risks and compromise its operations." 

The pier did as piers do in raging seas--it came apart like the lies the media told about Hunter Biden's laptop being Russian disinformation. Worse yet, the Hamassholes and other Islamic scumwafers stole what little aid came to the ramshackle disaster.

The report concluded: 

"Due to structural damage caused by rough weather and high seas, the pier operated for only 20 days and was decommissioned on July 17. Additionally, security and access challenges plagued aid distributions once on shore. As a result, USAID fell short of its goal of supplying aid to 500,000 or more Palestinians each month for 3 months and instead delivered enough aid to feed 450,000 for 1 month." 

Some members of Congress are finally demanding information as to why the building of the pier was pushed through when it was known that it would likely fail to do what it was intended for.

"Biden and Harris CHOSE to put our troops in direct danger and waste millions of YOUR taxpayer dollars on the Gaza Pier stunt," Republican Congressman Michael Waltz posted on X. "All just to try to appease the progressive Left and score a talking point for a State of the Union address."

If the good intentions of the Left were fertilizer, it would be enough to cover the entire planet. As it is, their intentions are mostly for show and tell.

IDF reveals number of terrorists killed in Gaza since Oct. 7

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has revealed the number of terrorists killed in Gaza since they invaded Israel on Oct. 7 and slaughtered about 1,200 Israelis and took 253 hostage, many of whom were killed or died in captivity. They also revealed that at least 50 terrorist tunnels running under the Philadelphi Corridor have been destroyed.

The estimate the IDF has given on Thursday night for the total number of Hamassholes and others of their ilk who have been killed is over 17,000 in the Gaza Strip since the start of the war on Oct. 7, according to IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari.

“IDF forces continue to fight in Gaza—maneuvering in Rafah, Khan Yunis, the central Strip and are attacking everywhere,” Hagari told reporters at a briefing. “So far, we have eliminated more than 17,000 terrorists.

“The significant combat and the ensuing high accomplishments impede Hamas’s ability to raise its head again and rebuild itself, and we are determined to keep this up,” he added. He said this despite the attempts of the Biden-Harris administration to have Israel call a ceasefire amidst their winning this war and thus being deterred from completing the win.

IDF forces entered Gaza on Oct. 27 after weeks of airstrikes in response to the Oct. 7 attacks.

On June 23, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the intense combat in Gaza was winding down and that the IDF would deploy more troops to the Lebanese border amid attacks by Iran-backed Hezbollah.

Last month, the IDF announced that its forces had killed half of Hamas’s leadership in Gaza and killed or arrested around 14,000 of its fighters. Hopefully, they will soon have Hamasshole leader Yahya Sinwar in their crosshairs and blow his butt to Jannah to meet his 72 virgin goats.

That number was identical to a figure cited by Jerusalem two months prior, when Netanyahu told a U.S. podcast, “We’re facing 35,000 Hamas terrorists. We’ve killed already about 14,000, wounded many others.”

Avi Hyman, a government spokesperson, reported on May 13 that IDF forces have eliminated over 14,000 terrorists and that around 16,000 civilians have died in Gaza since October 7 due to the ongoing conflict.

Hyman also stated that the Israeli army was setting a benchmark for urban warfare with "the lowest civilian-to-combatant casualty ratio in history."

Furthermore, on Thursday, the IDF announced that soldiers had killed 20 terrorists and destroyed a structure that was hiding a tunnel entrance during operations in Rafah, a former Hamas stronghold in southern Gaza.

Over a span of 24 hours, the Israeli Air Force targeted and attacked over 30 Hamas terrorist infrastructure sites, including buildings rigged with explosives, underground facilities, and weapons storage locations.

On Thursday, the military also disclosed that, over the past month, soldiers had demolished at least 50 terrorist tunnels running beneath the Philadelphi Corridor, which separates the Gaza Strip from Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.

Israeli forces took control of the Philadelphi Corridor in May and continue to operate in the border region to prevent Hamas from smuggling weapons and other materials into Gaza through an extensive network of tunnels.
