Gaza represents everything liberal Western society says it hates:
- It is an ultra-conservative religious society
- It is a racist society
- It is an ultra-sexist society where women do not enjoy equal rights and treatment
- There is absolutely no tolerance for homosexuality or "diversity"
- It is ruled by an authoritarian regime
And yet, liberal Western society supports Gaza against Israel, which is a diverse society with a liberal bend.

Arab media reports that an Israeli delegation has arrived in Cairo to discuss another ceasefire / hostage release deal in Gaza.
This deal, according to the reports, would see Hamas free 40 Israeli hostages - mostly elderly and sick - in return for Israel releasing hundreds of jailed Palestinian terrorists and a 21-30 day ceasefire.
Israeli leaders and media are very pessimistic regarding this deal, and the vast majority of the public won't like it at all.

Israel this evening is embroiled in political drama, even as soldiers continue fighting Hamas in Gaza.
Eight out of 15 Supreme Court voted for the first time ever to overturn a quasi-constitutional Basic Law recently passed by the Knesset.
The law in question had revoked the court's ability to overturn government decisions it deems "unreasonable," even if they aren't illegal.
Twelve out of 15 justices wrote that the Supreme Court does have the authority to overturn Basic Laws, though several felt it wasn't right to do so in this case.

A little under 2 years ago, our own Edy Cohen took Israel Today readers on a tour of a Hezbollah terror tunnel running under the Israel-Lebanon border.
The IDF found the tunnel, showed it to Edy, and then collapsed the entrance.

Senior Hamas official Saleh al-Arouri was killed in an explosion in Beirut, Lebanon this evening.
Local media reported that Israeli jets had been buzzing the city in the early evening, and then a loud explosion was heard in the southern party of the Lebanese capital.
Al-Arouri was one of the most senior members of Hamas's "political" wing, and also had a hand in both the Gaza invasion of southern Israel and Hamas terrorist activity in Judea and Samaria.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened back in October to eliminate al-Arouri and other top Hamas officials abroad.

Confirmed dead in the strike on Beirut:
Saleh al-Arouri - senior Hamas politburo official, director of terrorism in Judea and Samaria in recent years, and one of the architects of October 7
Khalil al-Hayya - senior politburo official and member of the Palestinian Parliament, and deputy to Gaza-based Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar
Suspected eliminations:
Osama Hamdan - senior Hamas politburo official and spokesman for the terror group
Abu Amar - head of Hamas forces in southern Lebanon
It seems Israel might have eliminated the entire senior Hamas leadership in Lebanon in a single strike.

It was a relatively quiet night considering the events of yesterday evening.
But Israel remains on highest alert for a major escalation on the northern border.
Hamas is eager for payback after Israel eliminated several of its top officials in Lebanon. But Hamas forces in Lebanon are relatively meager, and it is unable to do much from the Gaza Strip.
Will Hezbollah comes to Hamas's aid and retaliate on behalf of the Palestinian terrorists?
The coming hours and days are critical.
