The IDF has confirmed that over the past day, IDF troops under the Southern Command—including both active duty and reservists have begun extensive ground operations throughout the northern and southern Gaza Strip as part of “Gideon’s Chariots".

Among the targets struck were weapon storage facilities, underground terrorist infrastructure sites, anti-tank missile launchers, as well as terrorists. The Israeli Air Force continues to provide consistent support to operating troops in the Gaza Strip.

Gideon didn’t have chariots. He barely had an army.

The real hostages are also the Palestinian woman and children.

FNC is reporting that Muhammad Sinwar’s body has been found. Hamas just can’t seem to keep good help. Maybe they should open up their positions to trannies.

Kill them all.

Every last one.

Then kill their families.

Every last one.

Agreed. Perhaps the people of Israel should read what they call Nevi'im (the Prophets books including Judges).

One other thing from Amir that gave me great hope after this week. A C-17 from our base in Qatar delivered armaments to Israel today. There is a great amount of undercurrent diplomatic work happening behind the scenes.

On an IDF base near Be’er Sheva, and the 250 lb. JDAMs about every 5 minutes.

Much quieter than the Rafah offensive last year this time, at once every 30 seconds.

Probably not. I don’t know about Gaza, but the Palestinian Authority hasn’t had an election since Mahmoud Abbas replaced Yasir Arafat, in 2004. Their voting formula is “One man, one vote, one time.”

I don’t think Gideon had chariots, but his opponents probably did. The Bible lists them as the Midianites, Amalekites and “Children of the East.” Elsewhere the case has been made that the Amalekites are the same people as the Hyksos, who invaded Egypt at the end of the Middle Kingdom with chariots.

That’s the point of the name of the op. Now Gideon has a f@#ing fleet of tanks!

No worries. The story of Gideon and the leppers and the abandoned camp is read at least once a year in synagogue.

By all accounts, they are fed up with being used that way.

Yup. Chariots apparently came into use thanks directly or indirectly to the Hyksos.
