Or Levy last night in the first moments with his son, Almog, after being freed from Hamas captivity.

Almog was just 1-year-old when his mother, Einav, was murdered and his father taken hostage to the Gaza Strip.

Today, Almog is 3. His mother is gone, and he is essentially meeting his father for the first time.

"Take them down one-by-one"

Shir Siegel, daughter of Keith Siegel, one of the Israeli hostages released from Hamas captivity last week, wrote today on social media:

"Yesterday, before I went to sleep, my dad spent hours telling us horror stories.

"The feeling I had in my body was so strong that it made me want to drive all the way to Gaza and take them down one by one.

"And then came the frustration of knowing that I'm unable to actually do that. What I can do is direct my complaints to my leaders—because Hamas doesn’t care about me."

We are dealing with monsters.

These are the 17 hostages still to be released in phase 1 of the Gaza ceasefire deal.

Eight of them are dead. We aren’t sure which ones. Hamas won’t tell us.

IDF Spokesman:

A short while ago, IAF aircraft conducted a precise intelligence-based strike on a tunnel crossing from Syrian territory into Lebanese territory that was used by Hezbollah to smuggle weapons. The IDF is determined to prevent the restoration and use of this tunnel.

Additionally, the IAF struck several Hezbollah sites in Lebanese territory containing munitions and rocket launchers that posed an imminent threat.

The targets struck were a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.

LOOMING CRISIS❓

Senior Egyptian officials warned Israeli officials that any violation of the Camp David Accords would be met with appropriate retaliation – even at the cost of the complete termination of the peace agreement.

Egypt says that Israeli control of the Gaza-Egypt border (Philadelphi Corridor) is a violation of Camp David.

In recent weeks, Egyptian forces have been massing in Sinai in their own apparent violation of that peace agreement.

Arab media reports that Cairo demands the IDF leave the Philadelphi Corridor.

In Israel, controlling that border is seen as a strategic necessity. It is the lifeline of Hamas, which smuggled all its weapons through the Philadelphi Corridor, with little or no interference by the Egyptians.

Gaza makes it to the Super Bowl

A background dancer during the halftime show at the Super Bowl in New Orleans last night waved the flags of "Palestine" and Sudan before being tackled by security.

The father of released hostage Arbel Yehud read her troubling words today at the Knesset:

"I learned Arabic within a month of being captive and I heard my captors express joy at the division the hostage issue had created [in Israel]."

Donald Trump might be a master dealmaker. But there can be no deal with the terrorists who rule the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Take it from an Iranian who knows👇

‼️Hamas announces that it is suspending the release of Israeli hostages due to “Israeli violations” of the ceasefire deal.

Hamas is trying to flip the narrative following the horrifying scenes from the latest hostage release a few days ago.
