IDF Prepares To Storm Rafah, While Troops Battle Hamas In Northern Gaza
https://www.israelunwired.com/idf-prepares-to-storm-rafah-while-troops-battle-hamas-in-northern-gaza/

In a now widely seen CNN interview, President Joe Biden stated that "I made it clear that if they go into Rafah – they haven’t gone in Rafah yet – if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities – that deal with that problem."

IDF Asserts Control at Rafah Border

In a decisive move early Tuesday morning, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) successfully took control of the Rafah border crossing from Hamas, marking a significant strategic gain in the ongoing conflict. This operation saw the raising of the Israeli flag over the previously Hamas-administered site, symbolizing a moment of significant importance in the region’s complex dynamics. The 401st Armored Brigade played a crucial role in securing the crossing and severing it from Salah a-Din road, a major...

Israel reopened the Kerem Shalom border crossing to humanitarian aid trucks this morning, despite Hamas firing mortars at the crossing yesterday. The opening comes after a phone call between President Biden and Prime Minister Netanyahu last night.

Civilians are evacuating eastern Rafah. The Abu Youssef al-Najjar Hospital in Rafah is being evacuated of patients and staff. The IDF is striking terror targets in easter Rafah and in Gaza City.
A senior official in the Biden administration confirmed that the U.S. delayed a weapons shipment to Israel last week. He stated that "a shipment of bombs was stopped to signal to Israel the American opposition to the action in Rafah." The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that the U.S. is delaying a $260 million shipment to Israel, which includes, among other items, about 6,500 JDAM kits ("Joint Direct Attack Munition") that transform ordinary air bombs into "smart bombs" and are target-guided.

Regarding the Hamas ceasefire proposal, Prime Minister Netanyahu said, "The Hamas proposal yesterday was designed to torpedo the entry of our forces into Rafah. That did not happen. As the War Cabinet unanimously determined, the Hamas proposal was very far from Israel's core demands."

On a visit with troops in Gaza, Defense Minister Gallant said, "We are ready to compromise in order to bring back hostages, but if that option is not available we will go and intensify the operation, it will happen across the Strip – in the south, the center, and the north. Hamas only understands force and therefore we will intensify our operation, and the military pressure will lead to the destruction of the Hamas organization."

IDF jets struck Hezbollah targets in 6 areas of southern Lebanon.

How Yom HaShoah Strengthens Israeli Society

Holocaust Remembrance Day stands out as a profound moment of unity and collective reflection. Recent research from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has shed light on the powerful role that this and other memorial days play in bridging divides among Israelis, highlighting how shared grief can temporarily lessen societal tensions and reinforce national cohesion. The study, led by Tamar Gur, a doctoral student, and overseen by psychology Professor Eran Halperin, delved into the emotional dynamics of Holocaust

This is the last picture that Sarah has of her husband, Aaron. He was killed moments later.
This was the last photo of Aaron. He was holding the door shut to keep the terrorists out.

Here is the true story:

Aaron got a call from the army on the morning of October 7th to come back to his base.

He got into his car and as he left his town of Ofakim he came under fire from the terrorists. He managed to elude them while others were not as fortunate.

While on his way, he phoned about 15 others and told them to stay home as it was too dangerous. He saved their lives.

When Aaron arrived at his base, there were already terrorists inside.

He did everything that he could to save as many other soldiers as possible.

In the photo, Aaron is holding the door shut with all his might. The terrorists are on the other side of the door.

Holding the door shut saved many lives.

Eventually, they blasted the door open and Aaron was killed by the terrorists.

His wife was given this photo taken from the security cameras at the base.

It was his last moments---he died a hero.
Aaron left behind his wife Sarah and 5 boys, ages 2-14.

I visited the family in their tiny basement apartment. They shared with me lots of photos and beautiful memories of Aaron. They have deep faith despite everything

They are in a difficult financial situation and can use a lot of help.

Please help Aaron’s family and other widows and orphans.

https://melaniephillips.substack.com/p/the-campus-crucible-of-islamic-holy?The campus crucible of Islamic holy war
The student mobs threaten not just the Jews but America and civilisation itself
APR 30, 2024
Events at Columbia university and on other American campuses have left many people open-mouthed in shock and horror.
Overnight last night, a mob stormed Columbia’s Hamilton Hall. Masked men dressed in black used hammers and other tools to break in through the windows, barricading entry to the building with tables, chairs and a human chain. They hung a banner reading “Intifada” and screamed “Settlers, settlers, go back home, Palestine is ours alone”. There were reports that one campus worker was taken hostage.

This was an escalation of the “Gaza Solidarity” encampment on campus that has been defying the authorities for nearly a week. Columbia president Minouche Shafik began suspending students in the encampment who ignored her Monday deadline to “voluntarily disperse”. After days of previous negotiations between university officials and student protesters, the students voted unanimously to remain and declared: “Columbia will burn”.

The Columbia insurrection is but the most extreme version of what’s been playing out on the campuses and streets of America and Britain for the past seven months, ever since the October 7 Hamas pogrom. An alliance between the far left and Hamas operatives has turned dozens of universities into hotbeds of Hamas support and made London’s streets unsafe for Jews in the vicinity of these demonstrations of anti-Jewish power.
People shocked by this reveal that they have never had a clue about how Islamic fanaticism actually works. While the west’s useful idiots have promoted a mythical “two-state solution” that’s actually been rejected by the Palestinian Arabs for almost a century and would constitute instead a Final Solution for the Jews of Israel, their support for the genocidal Palestinian cause has unwittingly sanitised and legitimised a narrative of Islamic holy war.

The ignorant west similarly told itself that Islamic terrorism — including human bomb attacks — was motivated by despair. On the contrary, it is fuelled by exultation and an ecstatic sense of destiny unfolding. The October 7 pogrom, in which 1200 Israeli innocents were barbarically slaughtered and some 240 kidnapped into Gaza, acted as the starting gun for an Islamic world to which this bloody victory over the Israelis signalled the beginning of the end not only for Israel but also for the west.

The significance of these campus insurrections is far greater than support for Hamas or even murderous hatred of the Jewish world. The universities have become ground zero for the Muslim Brotherhood’s strategy of Islamising the west.

https://www.israelunwired.com/bombs-away-israel-hits-iran/?
Israel allegedly bombed the Iranian air defenses In Isfahan, near the Natanz nuclear site Thursday-Friday in an overnight mission.

While details are still coming out, it seems that Israel that the target of the Israeli attack was a military base and radar station in Isfahan near the Natanz nuclear facility, but not the nuclear facility itself. Although it was only one site that was attacked, the site was attacked several times.

Israel used radar evading missiles seemingly launched from inside Iraq (probably Kurdistan) and UAVs launched either from Iranian Kurdistan or Azeri areas in northwest Iran.

While the Israeli attack was not designed to start a direct shooting war with Iran, it was a clear retaliation for Iran’s attack on Israel. Besides that, the attack accomplished a few things. Firstly, it proved that the Russian-made air defense systems in place do not work. Secondly, it showed that Israel can take out Iran’s nuclear facilities at any time. Thirdly, and perhaps the most important, Iran’s Islamic regime does not have the grip over Iran they want everyone to believe.

By enlisting the Kurds and Azeris both in neighboring Iraq and inside Iran itself to attack the Mullahs, Israel has revealed that it too has proxies and those proxies have real teeth. The attack was carried out on the Ayatollah’s 85th birthday - the ultimate gift to the aging despot.

With the retaliation out of the way, the IDF can focus on strengthening its control over Gaza, conquering Rafah, and preparing for an all out war with Hezbollah, Syria, and the Shiite militias.

From IFTI's archives, March 21, 2021: "What if there's never going to be peace?"
Think oboes and violins ... with apologies to the oboists ...
APR 26

During Passover, we’re reaching into our archives….
For those who are observing, we hope you are having a meaningful and joyous Pesach. We are not posting on days that are Yom Tov in either Israel or the Diaspora out of respect for those who are off the grid on those days. Still, we thought we would take the opportunity of the intermediate days of Passover to share with our readers—many of whom joined us after this past October 7—a few posts from “the world that was” when Israel was battling internal demons, that garnered particular attention.

Israel from the Inside was created in May 2021, when Israel was in a much smaller war with Hamas. We covered history, culture, music, art, extraordinary people—and more. Then came the Judicial Reform crisis of 2023, and from January through September, much (though certainly not all) of our focus was on that.

Then came October 7th and the world of 2023 now seems an ancient, almost “quaint” time. “All we had to worry about back then,” Israelis quip, “was democracy.”

For these three posts from our Archive we’re revisiting a few of the posts that then garnered a bit of attention. Today we return to March 2021, when Israel was in a much more contained war with Hamas.

In retrospect ….
In the post below, we shared an FB post by Assaf Sagiv, perhaps Israel’s most formidable conservative public intellectual, who wrote as follows:

I do not want to sound like a defeatist, but there is nothing more pathetic than an army that boasts about the dubious achievement of bombing a city that has no defenses. No conquest of territories, no victory in a frontal confrontation, no capture of enemy fighters - just a constant crushing from the air of a pathetic militia dug into burrows and hiding behind civilians. I hear reports of the glorious success of the destruction of a building or the elimination of the "Commander of the Islamic Jihad Northern Brigade" - as if he were at minimum Admiral Yamamoto - and I cannot help but wonder: what if God forbid we send this bloated and wasteful PR machine to a real war - For example, against Hezbollah? I have a bad feeling.

He had a bad feeling then, in 2021. Why did not enough people in the right places have enough of a “bad feeling”?

I wrote at the end of the post below,

These were two terrible weeks, and we have numerous challenges to face, more internally than externally. So we’ll get to work. But ask Israelis whether – as devastating as these weeks were – if it was all worth it, and you’ll hear: it’s the price we pay to be home.

Would Israelis still say that? I do believe that most would. But without question, it would be with a much, much deeper sigh.

The Art of Questioning
By Sara Lamm

We have a really fun Passover tradition in my family. It's purely silly, and as far as we know, it does not originate from an ancient ancestral book, nor has it been passed down for generations! But for as long as I can remember, my family has asked "The Four Questions," a hallmark of the Passover Seder, in as many languages as we know. Seriously. We’ve had people at our Seder table who have translated the text into every language from Spanish to French, Pig Latin, Portuguese, and sign language. I know I’m forgetting one... oh yes, the Star Trek language of Klingon. By the way, if you ever come to Israel and want to join our family Passover Seder, you’ve been warned: you might be asked to translate the Four Questions from English to an obscure foreign language (if you know one).

But what exactly are The Four Questions? These are pre-written questions that the youngest member at the Seder table traditionally asks. They serve as the introduction to the section of the Seder where the story of Passover is told. Here’s the question: why do we open up the storytelling aspect of the Seder with questions? What is the significance of asking questions, and what does the Bible say about curiosity? Those are some great questions!

100,000 Israeli war refugees! All who are in need should come and eat
United with Israel

https://ccwebview.net/Donate_Email.htm?aCampaign=P24&aId=060
WILL YOSSI EVEN BE BACK FOR PASSOVER? WILL HE EVER COME HOME?
Dear Friend of Israel,
In a cramped hotel room in Tel Aviv, Miri cries silently as her three young children sleep on cots.

It's almost Passover, usually Miri's favorite holiday. But this year everything is different.

Miri's family is exiled from their farm - and their livelihood - on the Lebanese border.

They're just one of 16,000 families forced to seek refuge while rockets blaze across Israel's northern frontier.

Meanwhile, Miri's husband, Yossi, has been away since December, fighting deep in Gaza. Miri can think of nothing but his safety as she tosses and turns every night.

Will he even be back for Passover? Will he ever come home?

Every year, Colel Chabad makes sure no poor family, no lonely Holocaust survivor, no indigent senior goes without a proper Seder meal.

But this year we must also help war refugees who have been homeless for nearly half a year.

Please do whatever you can for Miri and her children. These are not ordinary times. Thousands have been murdered... tens of thousands rendered homeless... They need your help with the very basics for the Seder.

With profound thanks, and heartfelt wishes for a sweet and meaningful Passover.

Dear ELAINE,

I had finished cleaning up at the end of the Shabbat last night and I was resting on the couch.

At about 10:45 PM, we were notified that Iran had launched drones and missiles at us.

The news reported that it would be hours before they would hit.

What do you do when you are sitting at home and you know that in a matter of hours you and your family will be under attack?

Should I wake them? Should we wait in our safe room?

Little did I know that they were all basically awake in their rooms.

Waiting….waiting…

I was not afraid. “The guardian of Israel neither sleeps nor slumbers”


Give Now

At around 1:45 AM, I heard loud booms and moments later, the siren starts wailing.

From upstairs, I hear my oldest son telling everyone to get to the safe room.

We all went quickly to the safety of the reinforced room.

Five people (one son was not with us, as he is in the IDF at the Gaza border) and a dog in a small room.

We could hear boom after boom.

Finally, we were able to leave the safe room. It was close to 2:15 AM.

The rest of the night was quiet.

Over 200 incoming drones and missiles were shot down.

The US, UK, Jordan, and other countries assisted in the defense of Israel, and we are grateful.

The question is what will happen next.

You don’t defeat your enemies by playing defense. Yet, Biden has said that the US will not support an Israeli response.

We, of course, will continue to daven (pray) and do whatever is necessary.

Will Israel Retaliate Against Iran?
The Israeli government has supposedly already approved a response to Iran's direct attack on the Jewish State. However, it is not clear to what extant Israel will retaliate.
The Israeli government has supposedly already approved a response to Iran’s direct attack on the Jewish State. However, it is not clear to what extant Israel will retaliate.
President Biden, has been calling on Israel to restrain itself after being attacked by Iran and not attack back out of fear it will spiral out of control and bring the region into a war. Despite the pressure, Israel appears to be readying itself to retaliate in one form or another.
WATCH VIDEO mr. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett On FoxNews: Israel should respond as the US would, if 330 missiles and drones were shot towards American cities.
The USA does not want a regional war and seemingly “coordinated” the attack with Iran and regional players to allow Iran a face saving measure that would not escalate tensions and break out into a larger conflict. America’s only part of the bargain was not only to help Israel take out the missiles and UAVs, but to restrain Israel from retaliating. The only problem is, Iran not only sent cruise missiles and UAVs, but they sent ballistic missiles. These are game changers. Any one of them has the power to take out one city block and although none of them hit built up areas they could have.

The deal with Iran only works if the USA can restrain Israel. With the use of ballistic missiles by Iran - the Biden administration has lost its leverage on Israel. Retaliation is coming, the only question is will Israel do enough to create deterrence without triggering a wider war?

That may be an impossible task.

Massive Drone And Missile Barrage From Iran Against Israel
In the first ever direct attack by Iran against Israel, the Islamic Regime in Tehran sent hundreds of drones laden with explosives from its territory towards Israel as well as at least one hypersonic cruise missile. While many are expected be knocked down, some drones and missiles are expected to get through Israel's air defense systems.
In what is being seen as an unprecedented uptick in fighting between Iran and Israel, tonight’s direct attack by Iran and now its proxies in Yemen and Lebanon puts Israel under attack from all sides. This shifts the war between Israel and Gaza to a wider regional war with Israel expected to directly retaliate against the Iranian regime.

Along with the explosive drones sent by Tehran, there are reports of missiles being fired by Hezbollah and more drones being sent by the Houthis in Yemen. Also a cruise missile has been confirmed to be launched and seen flying over Basra Iraq towards Israel.

Many of the targets are expected to be in Israel’s North and South with the government warning citizens to stay inside if they are in the Golan, Galil, Beer Sheva, Eilat, and Dimona.

Interceptions are being reported over Jerusalem and most of Israel.

Prime Minister Netanyahu said the following to the nation:

“Citizens of Israel, in recent years, and especially in recent weeks, Israel has been preparing for a direct attack by Iran,” he said. Our defensive systems are deployed; we are ready for any scenario, both defensively and offensively. The State of Israel is strong. The IDF is strong. The public is strong. We appreciate the US standing alongside Israel, as well as the support of Britain, France and many other countries. We have determined a clear principle: Whoever harms us, we will harm them. We will defend ourselves against any threat and will do so level-headedly and with determination. Citizens of Israel, I know that you also are also level-headed. I call on you to follow the directives of IDF Home Front Command. Together we will stand and with G-d’s help – together we will overcome all of our enemies.”

Israel successfully shot down 99% of Iran’s combination of drones and ballistic missiles that were shot at the Jewish State fro Iranian soil last night.

https://rumble.com/v4pf7x2-april-14-2024.html

IDF spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari on Sunday morning noted that, “Last night, Iran initiated an attack against Israel launching over 300 threats of various types. The Iranian threat met the aerial and technological superiority of the IDF, along with a strong fighting coalition – which together intercepted the overwhelming majority of the threats. 99% of the threats launched towards Israeli territory were intercepted – a very significant strategic achievement.”

While the bulk of the defense was carried out by the IDF, the USA, France, England, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia helped.

Given the severity of the attack, there is a strong possibility of an Israeli counter attack coming shortly.

Iran miscalculated. Iran attacked Israel thinking we are weak, like never before. Iran is wrong.

Do not miss understanding how wrong Iran’s calculation is, and the most probable result of this first time ever direct attack on Israel.

Britain defends Israel overnight - Israel Lives!
Britain defends Israel overnight.
99% interceptions; 100% support.

Dear Friend,

As you will be aware, last night Iran launched a direct attack against the State of Israel for the first time in the Islamic republic's history. The tyrants of Tehran fired 170 drones, 30 cruise missiles, and 120 ballistic missiles. Incredibly, 99% of the threats were intercepted by Israel's long-range Arrow air defense system and the Israeli Air Force and its allies. We are really pleased that Britain's RAF was involved directly in defending Israel last night, shooting down a number of drones and missiles, alongside the United States, France, Jordan and others.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said, “I can confirm that our planes did shoot down a number of Iranian attack drones. I want to pay tribute to the bravery and professionalism of our pilots flying into the face of danger to protect civilians.

“If this attack had been successful, the fallout for regional stability would be hard to overstate, and we stand by the security of Israel and the wider region, which is of course important for our security here at home.”

We have been aware over the past week of the likelihood of Iran attacking Israel in some form. When news was confirmed last night that Iran had launched drones set to reach Israel within hours, it was clear through our social media channels that Christians were moved into immediate action in interceding for Israel. Many Christians in the UK who heard the news before going to bed, prayed into the night, joining many Christians throughout the world in praying for Israel's defence. As Christians, we stand 100% with what the Bible says concerning Israel. The God of Israel does not slumber or sleep. Neither will we.

There has been worldwide condemnation of Iran. But we must not be complacent. As the war against Hamas has illustrated, it is one thing to support Israel when it is a victim of terrorism. But it also requires nations to stand consistently when Israel exercises its right to defend itself. Our prayer in the days ahead is that Britain's support for Israel will remain no less than 100%.

Israel will almost certainly respond by striking Iran - something it has not been able to do directly until now. In fact, whatever Israel might choose to do militarily, we can be certain that God will not allow the Iranian regime's actions to pass by without consequence, just like every other regime and empire that has dared poke the apple of God's eye.

Our prayer today is one of thankfulness for Israel's protection last night. In uncertain days ahead, let us not cease to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

Israel lives because the God of Israel lives!

THREE SONS OF ISMAIL HANIYEH ARE KILLED IN IDF STRIKE IN GAZA AS NAHAL HOLDS THE STRIP
written by Micha Gefen April 10, 2024 2.7K views

The IDF struck Gaza City’s Shati Camp killing three sons of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. Several of the Jihadist leader’s grandchildren were also killed in the strike.

80% of Shati camp was entirely level in the early weeks of the IDF’s invasion of the Gaza Strip, with the rest of the buildings severely damaged. Anyone remaining is considered affiliated with Hamas. The strike also shows that the IDF remains on the offensive despite pulling most its active forces from the Strip a few days ago.

Ismail Haniyeh said the following over the deaths of his sons and grandchildren: “I thank God for this honor that he bestowed upon us with the martyrdom of my three sons and some grandchildren. With this pain and blood, we create hopes, a future, and freedom for our people, our cause, and our nation This is the response of the men of God who will end the occupation God willing.”

Nahal Holds The Strip
The remaining Nahal Brigade is in control of the Netzarim corridor, a three kilometer wide strip that leads from Kibbutz Beeri to the Gaza coast line splitting the strip in two. Despite the worry that the war is winding down, the IDF has invested millions of dollars in the corridor enabling the Nahal Brigade to not only be able control it, but take proactive measures in enclaves to both the North and the South.

The IDF has reported that the Nahal troops have been carrying out pinpoint raids and operations against Hamas sites in the area. The troops in recent days killed numerous gunmen in clashes and ambushes, as well as by calling in airstrikes and artillery shelling, according to the IDF.

The IDF struck Gaza City’s Shati Camp killing three sons of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. Several of the Jihadist leader’s grandchildren were also killed in the strike.

80% of Shati camp was entirely level in the early weeks of the IDF’s invasion of the Gaza Strip, with the rest of the buildings severely damaged. Anyone remaining is considered affiliated with Hamas. The strike also shows that the IDF remains on the offensive despite pulling most its active forces from the Strip a few days ago.

Ismail Haniyeh said the following over the deaths of his sons and grandchildren: “I thank God for this honor that he bestowed upon us with the martyrdom of my three sons and some grandchildren. With this pain and blood, we create hopes, a future, and freedom for our people, our cause, and our nation This is the response of the men of God who will end the occupation God willing.”

Nahal Holds The Strip
The remaining Nahal Brigade is in control of the Netzarim corridor, a three kilometer wide strip that leads from Kibbutz Beeri to the Gaza coast line splitting the strip in two. Despite the worry that the war is winding down, the IDF has invested millions of dollars in the corridor enabling the Nahal Brigade to not only be able control it, but take proactive measures in enclaves to both the North and the South.

The IDF has reported that the Nahal troops have been carrying out pinpoint raids and operations against Hamas sites in the area. The troops in recent days killed numerous gunmen in clashes and ambushes, as well as by calling in airstrikes and artillery shelling, according to the IDF.

ISRAEL POUNDS CENTRAL GAZA AND BEGINS SOFTENING RAFAH WITH PRECISION STRIKES

The rumors that the war had ended have once again proven to be spin generated by Israel's hard left and their supporters in the Biden administration. The IDF launched a "targeted operation" against Hamas in the central Gaza Strip overnight, on the outskirts of Nuseirat. This is an area where IDF soldiers had yet to operate during the war.
RUMBLE VIDEO
https://rumble.com/v4oujio-idf-pounds-central-gaza.html
he IDF reported that the Israeli Air Force and 215th Artillery Regiment carried out strikes against dozens of Hamas targets, including tunnel infrastructure and then the 162nd Division’s 401st Armored Brigade, Nahal Infantry Brigade, and other units moved into the area.

Despite the rumors that the IDF has pulled out of the Gaza Strip save for the Nahal Brigade (stationed in the Neitzarim corridor), Israeli forces actually still control a kilometer deep buffer zone along most of the Gaza Strip. This includes the Erez region which lies within Gaza’s northern border just south of the city of Ashkelon.

The Neitzarim corridor mentioned above is also not just a strip of land, but is a 2.5 to 3 kilometer wide corridor leading from Kibbutz Be’eri to the Mediterranean. The IDF has built bases, communication towers and other permanent defensive and offensive infrastructure. The corridor as well as the Erez area allow Israel to effectively control Northern Gaza. Mop up operations are still necessary, but Gaza City is now broken of from the rest of the Strip.

The IDF upper echelon has made tremendous mistakes in the war, but the head fake they gave the Americans and Hamas by pulling out the 98th Division from Khan Yunis appears to have succeeded in luring a number of key Hamas fighter out from their tunnels. Israel also used the “Khan Yunis Retreat” to begin their precision bombing of Rafah; something that must be done to soften up the Hamas defenses there.

The final campaign of the war appears to be moving forward. The IDF will first wear down Hamas’ defenses and then sever Rafah from the South by taking the Egyptian-Gaza border. After that they will have to smash the final battalions of Hamas while rescuing any hostages still alive.

For six months the US has asked for a day after plan. Netanyahu has balked and for good reason. In Israel’s case the military outcome of the war will organically shape the day after by breaking up the Gaza Strip into at least four enclaves. With the bolstering of the Neitzarim corridor and the full control of Gaza’s Erez region, the beginning of this plan is nw taking shape.

SURROUNDED: ROCKETS FIRED FROM GAZA, UAVS HIT EILAT, AND DRONE EXPLODES IN ROSH HANIKRA

It didn’t take long after the IDF’s 98th Brigade was pulled from Gaza for Hamas to begin firing rockets from the Southern Gaza Strip. Israel recorded rocket launches at Gaza area communities soon after the 98th was pulled. This is the natural result of a lack of an active IDF presence in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.


More ominous however, is the uptick in Iranian sent UAVs into Eilat. Yesterday, a UAV was intercepted over the skies of Eilat while vacationers were sent inside from the beaches. Last night another UAV was again intercepted by the naval base in Eilat.

The UAVs are Iranian in origin and appear to be coming over the Jordanian border into Israel’s southern city - a development that adds Israel’s eastern border to its many front conflict with the Iranian regime. There are also reports of Iraq’s Shiite Militias crossing into Jordan’s east in preparation to not only attack Israel, but to aid in overthrowing the Hashemite monarchy in Jordan. This would complete the encirclement of Israel as Egypt would certainly back away from its strategic alliance with the West.

If all of the above is not enough, the northern front with Hezbollah continues to heat up with the Iranian backed group increasing its rocket fire against Israel’s communities. Yesterday, a drone exploded in a direct hit on Israel’s tourist get away in Rosh HaNikra and a missile from Syria hit into Israel’s Golan Heights

So where do things go from here? 

Can Israel fight a multi-front war against genocidal enemies with most of the world increasingly being infected by an acute form of the mind virus known as antisemitism? There is a lot of fear that we will see our weapons supplies cut off and leaders dragged to the Hague as well as being left alone to be destroyed. However, we as a nation have been here before. Israel fought its War of Independence with very little help from outside allies against enemies far more equipped and trained on multiple fronts. We won and then won again 19 years later with no help from America.

This generation of young Israelis has already proven itself to be remarkable in its self sacrifice, determination, and complete faith in its mission to rescue Israel from the chasm of abyss it now stands looking out over. Sometimes we need to be reminded that we face a darkness and true existential threat to find our compass and direction once again. Despite the leftist news reports about mass protests – very little people are actually participating. Most of the nation remains united and dedicated to victory. What we need now are leaders who have true faith and a clarity of vision to see all of this through.

DID BIBI JUST END THE WAR?
written by David Mark April 7, 2024 5K views

In a sudden move, Israel pulled out most of its troops today from Southern Gaza seeming to indicate that despite Bibi Netanyahu’s rhetoric, Israel essentially ended its active war against Hamas. All of this plus opening more “humanitarian” aid corridors as per Joe Biden’s request appears to signal that America has now forced Israel to stand down.

The 98th Brigade led by General Dan Goldfus has been on a tear through Khan Yunis, breaking down all of Hamas’ battalions embedded there. Most believed they would continue onto Rafah, preparing the groundwork for a coming final invasion of the IDF into the last Hamas stronghold. However, the Biden administration fearing a total and comprehensive Israeli victory over Hamas and the Arabs of Gaza has put a stop to it by threatening to cut off all arms supplies to Israel.

So has the Biden team finally halted Israel’s war?

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant had the following to say: “The forces came out [of Gaza] and are preparing for their future missions, we saw examples of such missions in action at Shifa [Hospital], and also for their future mission in the Rafah area. We will reach a situation where Hamas does not control the Gaza Strip and where it does not function as a military framework that poses a risk to the citizens of the State of Israel.”

Prime Minister Netanyahu also made it clear that the move of the troops from Khan Yunis is not a ceasefire. “I made it clear to the international community that there will be no ceasefire without the return of hostages. It simply will not happen,” Netanyahu said at today’s cabinet meeting.

So what is really going on? Netanyahu and Gallant clearly have no intention of ending the war in Gaza. Doing so would end their political careers even faster. However, there has been no troop build up outside of southern Gaza that would indicate an invasion of Rafah is coming anytime soon. The withdrawal of the 98th and other IDF forces from Khan Yunis appears to be connected to Lebanon. Israel needs the Biden administration to lower it pressure on the Jewish State, while it prepares for a far more intense conflict with Hezbollah, the IRGC, Syria, and the thousands of Shiite Militia troops pouring into Jordan.

Israel may have decided to leave Rafah to be taken over after Hezbollah or at the very least take it over during the attack on Hezbollah – using the chaos of a far more intense conflict as cover. Either way, one thing is clear. Whatever comes next, it is coming fast.

Israel has continued to hit high value targets in Southern Lebanon despite Iran’s continued threats of retaliation over the killing of a high level IRGC general last week.

The IDF carried out a strike against a Hezbollah site in southern Lebanon’s Khiam, where an operative was spotted.

The IDF also said that an interceptor missile was fired at a target that entered Israeli airspace from Lebanon earlier today, in the Upper Galilee. Renewed suspected drone infiltration and rocket sirens are currently sounding in Kiryat Shmona and nearby communities.

The Iranian foreign minister said the following: ”The following days will be difficult for Israel.”

With Israel pulling out some of its troops from Southern Gaza, tensions on Israel’s northern border continue to grow. Iran appears to be ready to attack ay day.
