Arab media: 11 senior Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps officers were killed in an attack on Damascus Airport.

The Turkish army is cracking down on Kurds and taking prisoners. There are also reports of brutality against Kurdish civilians.

But of course you hear nothing about this in the media, and there are no international protests.

That is reserved for Israel.

Care to guess why?

IDF: 5 soldiers wounded in car ramming attack earlier today near Otniel, one seriously.

Israeli ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, reads out before the Security Council the names of every Israeli still held captive in Gaza: “The world must not forget them.”

Hamas's underground headquarters in the northern Gaza Strip was blown up. The tunnels contained a power grid, ventilation and sewage infrastructure, prayer and relaxation rooms

In recent weeks, Israeli forces located and destroyed one of the hideouts of the leader of the Hamas terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip, Yahya Sinwar.

Soldiers from the Yahalom unit examined one of Sinwar's home using additional technical means and discovered that there was a strategic tunnel shaft in the basement. The soldiers discovered a significant tunnel used by high-ranking Hamas terrorists.

The house and the bunker were part of a long and branching network in which high-ranking officials of the Hamas terrorist organization moved and worked.

Media reports indicate that after the Gaza war, Israel hopes to expel the UN's dedicated agency for Palestinian "refugees," UNRWA, which has a history of collaborating with Hamas.

UNRWA schools in Gaza taught jihadist values and raised and educated the terrorists who carried out the October 7 atrocities.

As one Gazan admitted in a phone call earlier in the week with an Israeli officer, most, if not all the UNRWA staff handling the humanitarian aid in Gaza are Hamas members.

UNRWA is compromised, and Israel insists that another body take responsibility for the situation.

‼️ One Israeli was reportedly wounded by Hezbollah missile fire into the Upper Galilee this afternoon.

‼️ Arab media reports that Israeli jets struck the airport in Aleppo, Syria.

Science Minister Ofir Akunis: There will not be a Palestinian state, not in Samaria or anywhere else.

IDF: Armed Hamas terrorists were discovered to be hiding in a school in Gaza among civilians who were sheltering there. The terrorists used the civilians as a human shield to attack Israeli forces. IDF soldiers stormed the school and apprehended the terrorists.

The Hamas-run Government Media Office in Gaza has released new casualty figures:

- 21,672 dead
- 7,000 missing
- 56,165 injured
- 290,000 houses damaged
- 65,000 residential units destroyed
- 117 mosques destroyed
- 208 mosques damaged

Reports: The IDF has found a large number of Chinese-made weapons in Hamas-ruled Gaza.

Masked Muslims attack Armenian Christian clerics in the Old City of Jerusalem.

The Muslims were angered that the Armenians had sold property in the Old City to an Australian Jewish businessman.

Hamas released a clip showing one of its fighters creeping out of a hole in the ground and planting an explosive device on an Israeli tank.

We don't know exactly when this happened or the result of the explosion.

But for this reason the IDF has been ridiculing Hamas since the start of the ground war in Gaza.

On October 7, Hamas roared like lions as it attacked unsuspecting Israeli soldiers and unarmed civilians.

But with the IDF on the ground in Gaza ready for battle, Hamas hides in its burrows like rabbits.

Netanyahu is delaying a Cabinet discussion on what to do with Gaza the "day after" the war.

He knows this issue could result in his coalition breaking apart.

👉 Some have accepted the American position that the Palestinian Authority (PA) must take over Gaza.

👉 Some, like Netanyahu, don't trust the PA and want to see an international peacekeeping force.

👉 And some want to see a renewal of Jewish settlement in Gaza and a permanent IDF presence.
