Israeli defense minister Israel Katz issued an ultimatum to Hamas: surrender, release all hostages, and disarm, or see Gaza City — the group’s last stronghold — destroyed. Katz’s statement came in apparently response to a statement by Hamas that it would be willing to release all of the hostages in return for Israeli withdrawal from Gaza — which would leave the group armed and in charge, ready to prepare for war again. The Times of Israel reported: “Defense Minister Israel Katz warns that Hamas will soon face a stark choice: either accept Israel’s conditions to end the war — including...

Shapira added that after an Israeli airstrike accidentally struck Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis and caused civilian casualties on Monday, Hamas "has further recognized that it can exploit the IDF's...

A Georgia man who defended his wife’s rampage against their Jewish neighbor was fired from the health care company he helped develop from the ground up. Mark and Anna Bouyzk both came under fire earlier this week after they carelessly called their Jewish neighbor a “k–e” and said that his daughter, a slain Israeli sergeant with the Jewish state’s border patrol, deserved to die. “You are calling yourself a k–e, you know what you are. You know what you are better than me. You are a corrupt politician with a daughter in the IDF that went there to kill, and...

Some 60,000 Israeli reservists are set to receive call-up orders that the IDF will issue starting Wednesday for the planned offensive in Gaza City, provided Defense Minister Israel Katz approves the move, according to security sources. The number of reservists being called up is in addition to tens of thousands of reservists who are currently serving in the reserves. According to Israeli officials, the IDF’s plans to capture Gaza City involve first the establishment of humanitarian infrastructure in southern Gaza, including allowing tents and shelter equipment into the Strip in recent days. The IDF will then issue evacuation warnings for...

In a targeted airstrike last week, the IDF killed five armed fighters who were near a vehicle marked with the emblem of the international humanitarian aid organization World Central Kitchen (WCK) last week, the military announced on Tuesday. It said that the WCK confirmed that it had no affiliation with the international organization and had posed a threat to troops. It added that they "deliberately affixed the emblem and wore yellow vests in an attempt to conceal their activity and avoid being targeted, cynically exploiting the status and trust afforded to aid organizations."

On Tuesday's CNN This Morning, CNN global affairs correspondent Kimberly Dozier said it "doesn't matter" if al-Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif was a Hamas operative. What's important is that he was "reporting on air on a prominent channel to millions of people." So it was wrong for Israel to kill him. According to Dozier, what the IDF should have done was to build a case on al-Sharif, "present it to Al Jazeera and say, you've got to fire this guy."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Israel’s security cabinet met Thursday night to debate whether to approve a full military conquest of the Gaza Strip, as IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir warned that such an operation would endanger the lives of hostages still held by Hamas.

https://t.me/beholdisraelchannel/60104 A pro-government jihadist terrorist cold-bloodedly killed a Druze citizen in As Suweyda just because he was Druze. The conversation between them: "Are you Druze?" "Yes, just going out to buy bread." He shot him, then laughed and said, "Who told you to go out to buy bread?" His fellow fighter laughed: "You could at least have let him finish his sentence!" He replied: "No - slaughter, slaughter." ((. Graphic video at link - viewer discretion advised. ))

For many Jews, the images of Druze men having their mustaches forcibly shaved conjure up memories of the Holocaust. Israel’s decision to take decisive action in Syria in an effort to deter attacks on the Druze community has shown that it is possible for countries to work to preempt massacres or genocide. In the wake of the fall of the Assad regime, Israel has been vocal about protecting the Druze in Syria. The IDF has acted several times when clashes in Syria between armed groups and Druze fighters led to the killings of Druze.
