The IAF conducted an IDF and ISA intelligence-based strike, eliminating the terrorist Abd al-Hadi Sabah, a Nukhba Platoon Commander in the Western Khan Yunis Battalion. The terrorist operated from a shelter in the Humanitarian Area in Khan Yunis. Abd al-Hadi Sabah was one of the leaders of the infiltration into Kibbutz Nir Oz during the murderous October 7th Massacre. Moreover, throughout the war, Sabah led and advanced numerous terrorist attacks against IDF troops. Prior to the strike, numerous steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians, including the use of precise munitions, intelligence, and aerial surveillance. "The IDF and ISA...

"I didn't understand until now what your people are going through": Interview with the Australian presenter who supports Israel. Journalist Erin Mullen has been in the field for two decades, but nothing prepared her for the past year • Since 10/7, she has taken a clear pro-Israel stance and spoken out against Hamas • However, she is forced to pay a price: her show on Sky was canceled and she even received threats on her life • In a conversation with Weekend News, Mullen spoke about what is happening in Australian public discourse, shared her concerns and revealed: "I am...

As someone who has dedicated her career to helping others, I thought I was doing good work with like-minded people who wanted to leverage their expertise to create a more inclusive, equitable and positive community. In fact, my previous professional role — working as a mental health clinician at a Silicon Valley chapter of a national nonprofit dedicated to eliminating racism and empowering women — was supposed to accomplish just that. Then Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, and I quickly realized that Jews were excluded from my nonprofit’s mission. For a few days, my chapter said nothing about...

President-elect Donald Trump vowed there would be "all Hell to pay" when he takes office should Oct. 7 hostages remain in custody at that time. His remarks came more than one year after Hamas launched a surprise raid on Israel, killing roughly 1,200 civilians and taking hundreds of hostages. The Israel Defense Forces invaded the Gaza Strip in retaliation and fighting has persisted since.

Itay Shabi: ''For five hours I hid under a tree, when the terrorists passed by my side. I felt that God protected me from the terrorists. That morning of Simchat Torah, Shabi started it with me like most of the residents of the Gaza Envelope with a series of loud alarms and explosions. "Immediately we understood that we were at war. The intensity of the barrages left no doubt that we were in an event on an unusual scale. Something we had never experienced before. However, in the first few minutes we did not understand what was happening, but we...

But rather than sympathy, hatred grows for the Jewish state One full year after October 7, the nation of Israel is still traumatized and many of its people are still in agony. One full year later, there are still scores of hostages languishing in Gaza, if not dead, and their families remain in daily agony. One full year later, the war with Hamas continues, but now there is also war with Hezbollah in Lebanon, as well as possible war with Iran itself. One full year later, rather than sympathy for Israel growing it is hatred for Israel that is growing.One...

There’s been a year of gaslighting, denialism, hatred and war but let’s remember how it started. With thousands of terrorists and ordinary civilians invading Israel and murdering, kidnapping and raping civilians. This is a clip from a new documentary which will be on Channel 4 on Wednesday called One Day in October. It’s taken from Hamas cameras and shows their glee as they get close to Kibbutz Be’eri - a socialist kibbutz where many people from Gaza worked - and their plans for the civilians who live there: ‘It’s time for the nation of Jihad! Be’eri! I swear to God...

How the @NYTimes censors calls to violence (and actual violence) at anti-Israel protests The New York Times reported on the Gaza protests in Manhattan yesterday. The photo caption says, "Demonstrators blocked streets in Lower Manhattan to call for a cease-fire in Gaza on the first anniversary of the Hamas-led attacks on Israel." The "Cease Fire Now" sign is prominently highlighted as the main photo of the article. The New York Daily News also shows that same sign. But they show it as it was seen for most of the march - behind several other much larger banners that led the...

Argentine President Javier Milei posted a message on social media in Hebrew to mark the anniversary of the Hamas invasion of Israel on October 7, demanding the return of Israel’s hostages to freedom. Milei’s message was both a declaration of support for Israel as it continues its self-defense operations against the Hamas jihadist organization in Gaza and its allies in Lebanon and a reminder to the world that Argentina lost citizens to the mass abductions that took place on October 7. At least seven Argentines are believed to be among the 101 people abducted from Israel on October 7, 2023,...

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a message of hope and resilience on Monday to his country’s official memorial to the victims of the terror attack of October 7, 2023, including the 100 hostages still in Gaza. His full speech follows (translated from Hebrew by the Government Press Office): Citizens of Israel, A year ago, on October 7th, we were all hurled into a critical battle. That day, a Saturday, the Sabbath and the holiday of Simchat Torah, will be etched in the history of our nation as a day of grief and loss, of unimaginable agony. On that day,...

Vice President Kamala Harris issued a statement Monday in commemoration of the October 7, 2023, terror attack on Israel, expressing sympathy for the victims but adding that she would “always fight for the Palestinian people.” Harris’s message continues a pattern of equivocation by the Biden administration — showing solidarity with Israel against terrorism, but also showing solidarity with the Palestinian cause in whose name the terror was committed. While describing the October 7 attack in graphic terms, and calling for the release of the remaining hostages, Harris also added that she was “heartbroken over the scale of death and destruction...

Hamas is privately admitting that 80% of the Palestinians killed during the year-long war in Gaza are Hamas members or their families, Israel’s Channel 12 reported on Sunday. The report comes as most of the international media continue to use unverified Hamas casualty figures, which do not differentiate between combatants and civilians and which statisticians have previously called into question. According to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry, more than ... Palestinians have been killed in the war, which was sparked by the terrorist group’s Oct. 7 massacre one year ago today. Israel has previously estimated that 17,000 combatants have been...

What if Jews don't wake up?Tragedy unites.I was in New York on 9/11 and despite the pain and fear, or because of it, there was so much warmth, care and love. I know Israel had a similar occurrence, briefly, after 10/7. Buildings in Tel Aviv were lit up with the message “together, we will win.” Israeli flags were everywhere. In the diaspora, Jews attempted the same. But in America, Jews and their Jewish organizations had leaned so far into their leftist identity that this was difficult to accomplish, especially as October 7th brought the realization to many of them that...

The city is bracing for widespread anti-Israel protests planned for the one-year anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack. Protests are already expected on Saturday, in the lead up to the anniversary of the devastating terror attack, with events organized for Times Square, outside Google’s Manhattan headquarters and at Court Square Park in Queens. Many anti-Israel groups are planning demonstrations for Monday, in particular, the National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP), which is orchestrating a nationwide “Week of Rage” on college campuses beginning on Oct. 7. Meanwhile, one of the most outspoken anti-Israel organizations “Within Our Lifetime” (WOL) called...

The groups holding these events are quite openly and publicly telling you who they are and what they believe, and that's important information to have.At various universities around the country, Students for Justice in Palestine and other pro-Hamas groups are holding events on October 7. Some of these events celebrate Palestinian "resistance," while others, throwing in a blood libel for good measure, commemorate a non-existent genocide of Palestinians by Israel since the war in Gaza began. Let's recall what happened on October 7, 2023. Thousands of Hamas terrorists, followed by "civilian" hangers-on, attacked border towns in southern Israel along with...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said he worries that “Prime Minister Netanyahu is watching the American election as he makes decisions about his military campaigns in the north and in Gaza.” And “it is certainly a possibility that the Israeli government is not going to sign any diplomatic agreement prior to the American election as a means, potentially, to try to influence the result.” Murphy said, “Prime Minister Netanyahu is pursuing multiple objectives all at once, I don’t doubt that he cares about the security of Israel, but he seems to be guided, on many...

such sites. (Israel Defense Forces) The Israel Defense Forces revealed Tuesday that even before it officially launched ground operations in southern Lebanon earlier in the day, its troops had conducted dozens of secret cross-border raids throughout the current war, destroying numerous Hezbollah positions, tunnels and sites. The army also disclosed that days after Hamas’s October 7 mass onslaught in southern Israel, thousands of terrorists had been positioned near the Lebanon border in a plan to storm the Galilee and unleash similar carnage there. The IDF briefed reporters on the new information before IDF Spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari held a...
