IDF special forces operating in the Khan Yunis area eliminated terrorists in close-quarters combat while neutralizing terrorist infrastructure situated within a school and other structures.
In a civilian house, the troops located many weapons, grenades, magazines and vests that were used by Hamas. Some of the tools were found in a bedroom next to dolls and children's games, including games that preach incitement against Israel.

While Hezbollah boasts that it is effectively holding northern Israel hostage, Christian Lebanese politician Samir Geagea criticizes the Iranian terrorist militia.
Geagea notes that southern Lebanon is also evacuated due to daily Israeli military action there against Hezbollah.
He was also highly critical of Hezbollah and Hamas for hiding their leaders in Beirut, and thus putting the civilian population at risk.

Israel's Military Intelligence Directorate has a unit known as the "Devil's Advocate Unit" that is charged with "relentlessly challenging all military policies and conceptions."
In the three weeks leading up to October 7, the head of this unit challenged the misconception that Hamas had been sufficiently deterred, and told military and political leaders four different times that the terror group was preparing to attack.
This assessment was presented in two separate letters to IDF and government leaders, and in two briefings with military intelligence chiefs on back-to-back days in late September.
It was ignored, or not taken seriously enough, at every turn.
Israel has the tools and procedures to prevent devastating attacks. But hubris often gets in the way.
Israel's military and political leaders thought they knew better.
They did not.

IDF Spokesman: "We have completed the dismantling of the military infrastructure of Hamas in the northern Gaza Strip.”
In northern Gaza:
- 2 Hamas brigades
- 12 Hamas battalions
- 14,000 Hamas terrorists
- 8,000 terrorists killed
- 30,000 weapons confiscated
IDF Spokesman: "Now we are focusing on dismantling Hamas in the center of the Gaza Strip and in the south of the Gaza Strip. We will do it in a different way. The center is crowded and full of terrorists. Khan Yunis has an underground city of branching tunnels. It takes time, there are no shortcuts in the fight against terrorism.”

To help you understand the extent of Hamas's cynical abuse of Gaza, these tunnels and underground facilities were discovered this week beneath the Blue Beach Resort.
No place was exempt from Hamas's terrorist activities, not hospitals or schools or hotels.
The entirety of Gaza is one giant terrorist military base.
The Blue Beach Resort looked beautiful and had great ratings on Google. It's a shame Hamas has to ruin everything.

American media is suggesting that Netanyahu might go to war in Lebanon for his own political survival. (Channel 12)
This is a gross mischaracterization of the situation.
Whatever Netanyahu's personal motivations, the fact is that some 80,000 Israelis can't return home because Hezbollah is effectively holding northern Israel hostage.
After October 7, no Israeli is willing to live with a heavily-armed terrorist organization bent on the Jewish state's destruction just on the other side of the border.
We now know what they are capable of.
All of Israel is united in its insistence that Hezbollah must be pushed north of the Litani River, if not removed entirely as a threat.

Pressure is building on Israel to simply accept the new reality, even if Western leaders are not saying as much, yet.
But it is a situation that cannot be accepted.
At present, Israel has effectively lost the Upper Galilee. That is an outcome no Israeli government can live with.
