Hamas claims credit for this morning's deadly shooting attack in Jerusalem.

Hamas says it will release 10 live Israeli hostages today, including 2 with Russian citizenship.

Netanyahu to Blinken: I promised to eliminate Hamas, and nothing is going to stop us from doing so.

The body of Ofir Tsarfati has been recovered and returned to Israel by IDF soldiers.

Officials believe he died shortly after being abducted to Gaza.

Getting ready for Hanukkah in Gaza.

The absurd clips of freed Israeli hostages warmly parting ways with their captors are being used by Hamas apologists around the world to somehow justify the abduction of hundreds of Israelis.

"Look, they were treated well!"

As if the Israelis were on some weekend retreat, and should be grateful to their hosts.

Let's forget for a moment that they were almost certainly forced to act that way on their release.

These people were violently ripped from their lives against their will.

They watched many others die brutal deaths, including their own family members.

Many are returning to empty homes because these "wonderful" Hamas hosts slaughtered all their loved ones.

Is it possible for the world to stop acting so silly for even one moment?

Mia and Amit were reportedly transferred to the Red Cross in the center of Gaza City in northern Gaza, just a mile or so from where IDF soldiers are holding the ceasefire line.

And again they had to pass through a baying mob of "innocent" Gaza civilians en route to freedom.

Mia and Amit are in Israeli territory.

Mia was the first “sign of life” Israel received when Hamas posted a clip of her in captivity in October.

"October 7 was just a dress rehearsal."

Yesterday, Liat Atzili was freed from captivity in Gaza. Her husband, Aviv, was also listed as kidnapped. But today his family announced that he was killed.

May his memory be a blessing.

Blinken to Israeli leaders: I don’t think you have the diplomatic credit to make war on Gaza for several more months.
