WARNING, this is a difficult video to watch‼️

This is the clip that was released with the permission of the parents of the kidnapped Israeli female soldiers from Nahal Oz.

The parents want the world to see what is happening to their girls at the hands of the Palestinian barbarians as a wake-up call.

This video once again painfully shows how badly Israel failed on that black Shabbat morning.

The US military installed a C-RAM battery to defend its new pier in Gaza.

I guess that doesn't count as "boots on the ground" since it's technically in the water...?

Three Israeli soldiers fell in combat today in the Gaza Strip:

🇮🇱 Gideon Chay DeRowe, 33

🇮🇱 Israel Yudkin, 22

🇮🇱 Eliyahu Haim Emsallem, 21

May their memory be a blessing.

Funny. But also sad, and shamefully true.

Hamas takes credit for the birth of "Palestine"

Senior Hamas official Hassam Badran tells Al Jazeera:

"The European countries' recognition of a Palestinian state came after the 'al-Aqsa Storm' and the firm stand of the resistance."

In other words, we slaughtered Jews, and now we have a state.

Israel’s War Cabinet has unanimously decided to resume hostage negotiations with Hamas.

US Senator Lindsey Graham: The ICC will pay for going after Israel. If we (America) don’t act, we’ll be next.

Hamas has issued a statement insisting that the video of the young female soldering being taken hostage shows the group's humanity.

Hamas claims the video has been altered in an attempt to make it look bad, but pointed out that no violence was used against the girls in the video (of course, they had clearly been harmed before).

On the one hand, video evidence like this is very damaging for Hamas in the West. But on the other, it brings tremendous glory to the group in the Middle East. So the jihadists must carefully navigate these waters by weaving a narrative of lies suitable to each audience.

The IDF is concluding a 40-hour anti-terror operation in Jenin, during which 12 terrorists were eliminated and dozens more wounded.

While all eyes remain on Gaza, Israel continues to hit hard at the terrorist infrastructure in Judea and Samaria.

Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will take the people of Israel from the nations among which they have gone, and will gather them from all around, and bring them to their own land. (Ezekiel 37:21)

Time to come home.

Israeli forces are pushing deeper into Rafah this morning. Reports of heavy fighting.

Prices in Gaza for fresh vegetables and fruit continue to plummet thanks to an influx of Israeli goods. Palestinians in central Gaza this morning report the following prices at the markets:

Tomato - 11 NIS per kilo
Cucumber - 8 NIS per kilo
Onions - 4 NIS per kilo
Potatoes - 5 NIS per kilo
Eggplant - 6 NIS per kilo
Peppers - NIS 8 per kilo
Lemon - 5 NIS per kilo

Many of these prices are even lower than in Israeli supermarkets.

Israel is feeding the people of Gaza, not trying to "genocide" them.

Hezbollah claims credit for a rocket barrage deep into the northern Galilee a short time ago. No reports of injuries or damage.

Israeli-Arab Member Mansour Abbas of Knesset to Channel 13:

"What, are they [Hamas] a Lebanese faction? ...Of course they are part of the Palestinian people."

Western leaders have tried hard since Oct. 7 to create distance between Hamas and the Palestinians at large.

Abbas says that is disingenuous.
