Israel eliminates yet another Hezbollah commander

The Israel Air Force (IAF) killed another Hezbollah commander. His job was overseeing the medium-range rocket arsenal but it appears that they're going to have to post an ad to find a new sucker to take his place.

The dead Hezbollonian was Eid Hassan Nashar, whose main claim to fame beyond the military is that his name is not Mohammed or a derivative thereof. He served as Hezbollah's commander of the surface-to-air rocket unit and deputy commander of the Badr Unit [go Camel Cuppers].

Don't let the smile fool you--he's dead

By killing Nashar, the rockets launched at Israel's civilian population will be even less accurate now that they have nobody to replace him that can fire haphazardly in the vicinity of women and children.

Additionally, the commander, deputy commander, and other commanders of Hezbollah's precision missile unit were eliminated, who were responsible for firing rockets to central Israel.

Nashar leaves behind a wife and a goat, but I repeat myself.

Night rocket barrage hits northern Israel: guess what happened next

Photo: Reuters

Galilee and the Golan Heights were hit with a rocket barrage on early Tuesday morning as alarms sounded, Israeli media reported. It was estimated that about one hundred rockets were fired that crashed mostly harmlessly into open fields such as Ein Kuniya, Snir, Sha'ar Yashuv, and Kfar Szold. No farmers, cows or farm equipment was hurt but a significant amount of holes were made and blades of grass were burned in the rocket attack.

In quick response, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) attacked launchers in Lebanon that had fired into Israel. Fighter jets attacked three of the launchers and neutralized the sites.

Just in the meme time

Notice they're called Israeli DEFENSE Forces, not Offense Forces. Israel is on constant defense against those who would kill all their people; but Israel did not start this war. It began even before October 7. It began over a thousand years ago in the desert when Islam was in its infancy and Israel was even back then, the land of the Jews.

Meanwhile, military fighter jets hit two Hezbollah compounds in the Beka area, deep within Lebanon as Israel  responded to the earlier rocket attack toward northern Israel. The compounds that were struck are affiliated with Hezbollah's air force.

"Since the establishment of the state, no Israeli government has ceded sovereign territories, as the Gantz-Netanyahu government is doing," Major General and former Deputy Chief of Staff Yair Golan stated in response to the rocket bombardment.

He continued, "A quarter of a million [people] are displaced...Hundreds of rockets every day. Widespread abandonment. The abandonment of the territory will be a central issue in the inquiry committee that will be displaced...Hundreds of rockets every day. Widespread abandonment. The abandonment of the territory will be a central issue in the inquiry committee that will be established."

Report: Americans injured by militants in Iraqi base attack

Americans and Iraqi security forces were injured in an attack on Iraqi's Ain al-Asad air base Saturday according to a report.

A US official who demanded anonymity said the Americans who were injured only suffered minor injuries, but one of the Iraqi security forces was reported to be seriously wounded, The Jerusalem Post reported.

The initial reports said the ballistic missiles hit the base but there is an ongoing assessment to determine whether it was actually a rocket attack, rather than a guided missile offensive, the official said.

“Two security sources in Iraq and one government source said the base was hit by multiple rockets fired from inside Iraq,” The Jerusalem Post’s report says. “A second US official said the attack was carried out by militants from inside Iraq.”

According to US military data, there have been to date, 58 strikes by drones and rockets by Iran-supported militants. Theses same militants have also attacked American forces in Syria no less than 83 times concurrent to the Iraq attacks.

According to The Jerusalem Post, those militants are seeking a way to “impose a cost” on America for its support of Israel in the fight against Hamas, which is backed by Iran.

And while it appears the Biden administration is fully committed to supporting the Jewish State, don't necessarily count on that support in the future if the political winds change. Biden has no other ideology other than what's good for the Bidens.

IDF has the actual estimated number of terrorist deaths in Gaza [hint: it isn't 20,000]

The IDF published an update Sunday regarding the statistics of the war to date. And while Hamas has inflated the numbers of Palestinians, which they claim is about 100,000 Palestinians, Israel has a far lower number, especially the terrorist count. [H/T Jerusalem Post.]

The Jerusalem Post reported that among the numbers was that the IDF has killed around 9,000 Hamas terrorists to date during the invasion of Gaza. Two out of Hamas's five brigade-level commanders have been killed.

More numbers: 19-battalion-level commanders, relating to 24 battalions, but some of those include replacements from the same battalion. Approximately 170 Hezbollah and Hamasshole-affiliated terrorists have been killed in the North.

The IDF has also arrested 2,300, who have been interrogated by IDF Unit 504.

Even more numbers: there has been a total of 30,000 IDF attacks in Gaza with 750 on Hezbollah or other terrorists in the North. 522 IDF soldiers have been killed since October 7, 188 of them since the invasion started. A total of 2,536 IDF soldiers have been wounded. 1,476 have been lightly wounded, 672 moderately, and 388 seriously.

The IDF said that around 9,000 rockets have crossed into Israeli airspace from Gaza, while around 2,000 rockets fired by Hamas did not make it into Israel because their rockets suck.

Besides Hamas, another around 2,000 rockets or anti-tank missiles have crossed into Israel from Hezbollah and another 30 or so from Syria.

Two of these rockets were fired on Sunday, killing a mother and her son.

Hamas and Islamic Jihad rockets fall in Gaza about 20 percent of the time killing civilians: IDF

When you build rockets out of plumbing pipes and solder, they will not always go where you aimed them. Sometimes when Hamas and Islamic Jihad fires their DIY rockets, they hit Gaza schools--it really happens more often than you might think. In fact, an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) official says it happens about 20 percent of the time.

A stream of rockets fired by Hamas and Islamic Jihad along with Iran-backed terrorists have caused the deaths of Palestinians since the sneak attack on Israeli civilians began October 7th.

"They are killing their own people," IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari said Saturday, noting that one-fifth have missed Israeli targets (men, women, children, babies) and landed in Gaza instead, killing civilians. Hagari said that number is more than 550 rockets.

Biden referred to Israel and Hamas as "teams" so I will call the terrorist groups "the gangs that couldn't shoot straight."

Hagari spoke about four days after the al-Ahli Hospital parking lot in Gaza City was struck by an errant rocket. In less than an hour, Hamas claimed 500 Gazans were killed by the Israeli rocket, but an investigation using video, audio and radar proved the rocket came from Islamic Jihad. And the fact that Hamas came up with the death toll so quickly should have alerted the media that the Hamas claim was BS, but BSMSNBC, BSCNN, and BS NY Times went along with the terrorists' propaganda. 

See, even Hamas uses the idea of "never let a tragedy go to waste" to their advantage, and with the fake news press, it worked out great for them.

Online video showed clearly that it was the parking lot, not the hospital that was struck by a rocket on Tuesday. There were some burned out cars that caught fire and ignited neighboring vehicles, but the hospital remained untouched. There was no deep bomb crater and no bodies for Hamas to put on display, which should have alerted the media about the veracity of their claim, but they still went along with Hamas and riots predictably broke out all around the globe.

Do you think for one second that if Israel really killed 500 Gazans that Hamas would not have lined up the bodies for the cameras?

Israel investigated and finally said the rocket was fired by Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a State Department-designated foreign terrorist organization backed by Iran.

Acme Rocket Company

"An analysis of IDF operational systems indicates that a barrage of rockets was fired by terrorists in Gaza, passing in close proximity to the al-Ahli [Baptist] Hospital in Gaza at the time it was hit," IDF officials said. "Intelligence from multiple sources we have in our hands indicates that Islamic Jihad is responsible for the failed rocket launch which hit the hospital in Gaza."

Research analyst for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies' Long War Journal, Joseph Truzman, said the string of misfires by the terror group is a result of "Hamas and other groups like Islamic Jihad" having to "make do with the material they have."

"Iran is the chief supporter of several Palestinian armed groups, including other bad actors across the region," Truzman told Fox News Digital. "The regime in Iran funds, arms and supports its network of proxies and clients. The caveat with Palestinian groups in Gaza and the West Bank is that Iran is not able to transfer advanced weapons without the Israelis thwarting it. Iran has likely been able to get some weapons through, but it's a difficult task.

"Because of this hurdle, the Iranians focus on arming Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other Palestinian terrorist organizations with the know-how to build weapons," he explained. "With this knowledge, Hamas is able to locally produce rockets, mortars, drones and other weapons. While this knowledge has its advantages in the war against Israel, Hamas and other groups like Islamic Jihad have to make do with the materiel they have."

It was so obvious who fired the rockets after the evidence was in, that even President Biden agreed with Israel's statement. But in spite of that, he still refuses to enforce oil sanctions on Iran, and still seems to plan to fund Hamas and other terrorist groups in the region.

A chart released by the IDF last week showed an increasing number of Hamas and Islamic Jihad rockets failed upon launch and crashed in the Gaza Strip. Nearly 13% of the rockets that were fired toward Israel Oct. 17 landed in the densely populated enclave.

Describing some methods terrorists have used in an effort to achieve their mission, Truzman noted that "Hamas has dug up underground water pipes that were left behind following the evacuation of Israeli settlements in the Gaza Strip."

"These pipes are used to build rockets. And while it may be a clever method to build up Hamas' arsenal, it doesn't mean the rockets are effective and will always travel to the intended target," he added. "Also, the rockets are produced by terrorist organizations, not a complex arms industry."

Regarding why there have been so many misfires, Truzman said he believes it's because the terrorists have not "perfected" the process of developing efficient rockets with reliable materials.

"An example of a misfire was filmed last year by a pro-Hamas outfit called al-Mayadeen. The crew filmed a rocket fired by a Palestinian terrorist group, landing short, striking civilian infrastructure," he said. "While Hamas and other groups have learned how to self-produce rockets, it certainly doesn't mean they have perfected it, and this is likely the reason why we are witnessing some of these rockets landing inside the Gaza Strip."

But leave it to the Western press to blame Israel for the actions of terrorists.

IDF kills another senior Islamic Jihad commander as war seems imminent

Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) took out a second senior Islamic Jihad commander in the southern part of the Gaza Strip late Saturday night, according to the Israeli government. This was the second top dog of the anti-Semites to bite the dust.

Israeli authorities announced the demise of Khaled Mansour on Saturday. He led he Iran-sponsored Islamic Jihad's operations just one day after Tayseer Jabari was blown away. Jabari was the senior Palestinian Jihad Commanding Officer in the Northern Gaza Division.

Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid called the strike "an extraordinary achievement" conducted as a joint operation by the IDF and intelligence agencies. He added that the military will continue to launch strikes "in a pinpoint and responsible way in order to reduce to a minimum the harm to noncombatants." 

The latest strike along the Gaza Strip left 29 dead and was in retaliation of Palestinian Islamic Jihad's firing of hundreds of rockets indiscriminately targeting Israelis. When Israel responds to being attacked, the anti-Zionists across the globe, including some US congress members, blame Israel because they exist.

"The operation will continue as long as necessary," Lapid added.

A strike on Friday also took out the head of the anti-tank guided missile array and several terrorist squads as they were preparing attacks against Israel, the IDF said.

Palestinian officials said the airstrike left at least 15 people dead, including a senior militant leader and a 5-year-old girl. What they didn't say was how the PIJ targets little Israeli boys and girls and their mommies.  

What they also don't tell you is how the PIJ and Hamas use children as human shields and often fire rockets into Israel from or near schools and mosques knowing that Israel will not fire back to avoid harming non-combatants.

A joint statement from Lapid and Defense Minister Benny Gantz said its goal was to eliminate the "threat against the citizens of Israel and the civilians living adjacent to the Gaza Strip, as well as the targeting of terrorists and their sponsors." They were likely referring to Iran since that's where the PIJ weapons come from.

"The Israeli government will not allow terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip to set the agenda in the area adjacent to the Gaza Strip and threaten the citizens of the State of Israel," Lapid said. "Anyone who tries to harm Israel should know: we will find you."

Rocket fire from Gaza into Israel continued as of Sunday morning.

S. Korea detects shots fired, apparently by N. Korea

South Korea's military believes it detected the trajectories of shots fired by the hermit nation of North Korea launched by multiple rocket launchers (MLRs). SoKo's Joint Chief of Staff said the shots were detected after 1800 and their military had gone to a heightened alert posture without mentioning further responses.

North Korea is known to test-fire MLRs in military drills because Kim enjoys fireworks and basketball, and in recent years the country has developed larger rockets. Smaller rockets and missiles are designed to strike targets in the South in the event the south gets froggy [and wants to jump].

In 2022, NoKo has already test-fired a smorgasbord of missiles, including its largest intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) down to its MLRs. In any case, all are banned under U.N. Security Council resolutions and sanctions on NoKo have been imposed to deter their weapons development, because the North Koreans are led by one sick puppy who has no compunctions to kill--even if it's his own family member, like the uncle he had killed via cannon fire.

South Korea is pursuing a $2.6-billion artillery defensive interception system, similar to Israel's "Iron Dome," designed to protect against North Korea's arsenal of long-range guns and rockets. [The major difference is the South Korean rockets will not have a small piece taken off at the end of the rockets nose, like the Jewish rockets.]

Unfortunately, Seoul, is South Korea's capital and with a population of 52 million and is within striking distance of North Korea's long-range guns and multiple rocket launchers.

And let us not forget that the U.S. has 28,800 military personnel in South Korea and they train with their South Korean counterparts. Should North Korea strike first, it's a given that we will not sit back and watch our guys get slaughtered.

Biden administration shown "smoking gun" proof Hamas was in AP building

The Biden administration was shown "smoking gun" proof that Hamas terrorists used the same office building as Al Jazeera and the Associated Press, although the AP claimed to be clueless about who their neighbors were. Israel gave the occupants of the building fair warning, they left quickly, and the IDF blew the structure to smithereens in an airstrike.

“Israel shared intelligence with the US showing how Hamas operated inside the same building with Associated Press and Al-Jazeera in Gaza,” The Jerusalem Post reported. For the AP to claim they didn't know this is difficult to believe, especially since they are supposed to be a news organization that reports on the conflict.

“The U.S. was the only country to inquire about the IDF strike on the building, which the military said housed Hamas military intelligence offices, as well as AP and Al Jazeera, other news outlets, and other offices and apartments,” the outlet wrote.

“We showed them the smoking gun proving Hamas worked out of that building,” a source close to Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi told The Jerusalem Post. “I understand they found the explanation satisfactory.”

And here was Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ilhan Omar (D-MN)  and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) ready to jump all over Israel for attacking the U.S. press.

The source further added that approximately 72 out of the 90 countries that Israel’s Foreign Ministry has talked to in recent days have released public statements supporting Israel’s right to defend itself amid the Palestinian terrorist attacks.

Why the hell should that idea even be controversial? 

Any country that has rockets fired upon its citizens not only has a right, but an obligation to defend itself. The difference is, Israel targets the source of the rockets while Hamas makes no distinction and targets whichever Jew it can kill.

The IDF released the following statement after striking the building:

A short while ago, IDF fighter jets struck a multi-story building which contained military assets belonging to the intelligence offices of the Hamas terror organization.

The building contained civilian media offices, which the Hamas terror organization hides behind and uses as human shields. The Hamas terror organization deliberately places military targets at the heart of densely populated civilian areas in the Gaza Strip.

Prior to the strike, the IDF provided advance warning to civilians in the building and allowed sufficient time for them to evacuate the site.

I actually wonder what Tlaib would say if somehow Hamas targeted Detroit with rockets. 

“I want to see what would happen if one rocket was fired on Washington. They are firing salvos toward civilian populations,” IDF Spokesperson Brig.-Gen. Hidai Zilberman said in response to a question about the IDF striking a building that house terrorists and the Associated Press. “We are in the middle of an operation. If Hamas and PIJ think they can hide behind the media, their buildings are not something they can hide behind.”

It might be a good idea for the press to rethink where in Gaza they need to relocate in the future.

The IDF only struck after Israel was targeted by rockets inside of Gaza. Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad fired about 3,000 Iranian-sponsored rockets [thanks to Joe Biden] at Israeli citizens over the course of a week. Hundreds of Israelis were wounded and almost a dozen killed while citizens have to stay underground from the attacks until the rockets stop. 

Of all the rockets fired toward the Jewish State, about 450 have landed inside Gaza on the Palestinians.

And the Beat Goes On in Gaza

The IDF hit 60 targets last night, killed 120 Islamists since the start of the retaliation that began when Hamas rained down hundreds of rockets into Israel's civilian population. 

The Israeli Air Force (IAF) targeted "158 targets linked to Hamas," in the last 24 hours, which included 68 rocket launchers, 21 bases and weapons caches, including one hidden in a mosque--a common strategy Hamas uses because they know Israel is reluctant to strike houses of worship even when Hamas is willing to blow up synagogues and school buses filled with children.

Nurturing hatred

The Health Ministry of Gaza, an oxymoron, said that the dead included a 17 year old whose only goal in life was to finish his study of the Koran in madrassa, join Hamas, and kill Jews for Allah. Young Mohammad al-Akbar will be missed. Okay, Hamas didn't really say all that, but the truth is, the "Palestinians" (a group of Muslims who believe Israel has no right to exist and all the Jews in the world need to be killed) are taught as babies to hate the Jews. It's their religious duty, according to the Koran. But what they don't acknowledge in their "holy" book, or war manual, is that Israel is referred to as the land of the Jews and there is no mention of Palestine. (Check out Suras 9:21 and 26:59 for starters.)

In last night's Israeli retaliatory response to Hamas's rocket attacks, three police officers were killed while innocently beating their wives.

Husam Badran, a spokes-terrorist for Hamas said, while in the safety of Doha, Qatar (some pronounce it "Guitar"): "The bombing of two mosques in Gaza overnight shows how barbaric this enemy is, and how much is it (sic) hostile to Islam." 

Good old victim status.

I suggest Badran look up the origin of the word "barbaric" before he claims that Israel should allow Hamas to fire rockets at them with impunity. Thomas Jefferson knew about barbarism.

This is a war that will never end unless Israel decides to end it. The hatred that Islam holds for Jews and other infidels is palpable. Being politically correct about Islam is foolish and suicidal.
