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.

House-to-house fighting as the IDF hunts down Hamas in Rafah.

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.

The Creator of the universe chose to be known as the "God of Israel."

In Isaiah 45, in addressing the king of Persia, God first states clearly that He is the only God, there is no other.

And then He binds His name, at least in the context of human affairs, to Israel.

The IDF captured two infiltrators from Syria a short time ago.

"Sabaya"

There is some uproar over what many claim to be a mistranslation by Israel in the video of the young female hostages.

And they use this to then claim the entire video is fake or manipulated.

But it's not a mistranslation.

It's an effort to add needed context.

First, two points:

1️⃣ Israel has plenty of native Arabic speakers. They aren't confused by the original content.

2️⃣ The "pregnant" bit in the English subtitles is in parenthesis, meaning it wasn't literally said, but has been added for context.

---

The word used by the terrorist is "sabaya" - which in this context means female captive.

Now, and this is the important bit, the Islamic concept of “sabaya” - female captive - is very much one of sexual enslavement.

So, the translator's addition is much-needed context. The terrorist wasn't merely saying "here are the girls."

O God, do not keep silent;
do not hold your peace or be still, O God!

For behold, your enemies make an uproar;
those who hate you have raised their heads.

They lay crafty plans against your people;
they consult together against your treasured ones.

They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation;
let the name of Israel be remembered no more!”

(Psalm 83:1-4)

Hamas and Taliban leaders meet at the funeral Ebrahim Raisi in Tehran.

Hezbollah has launched over 100 missiles and drones at Israel since this morning, some resulting in wildfires that continue to burn in the Upper Galilee.

A captured Gazan confesses that he and his father, and another friend, all raped the same Israeli woman on October 7, and then executed her.

The IDF says it has intelligence that hostages are being held in Rafah.

"We are going after Hamas."

"...and he who dishonors you I will curse..." (Genesis 12:3)

"Thus says the LORD of hosts to the nations: He who touches you [Israel] touches the apple of His eye..." (Zechariah 2:8)

All those misguided souls in the West do not understand the harm they do their own nations when they side with Hamas and stand against Israel.

"Pray to the Prophet, huh?"

Popular Israeli Arab singer Nasrin Kadri posted a message of outrage in Arabic to her followers on Instagram after watching the video of the hostage Israeli female soldiers.

"Where are you, Arab people? Aren't you ashamed of yourselves? You talk about Islam; is this Islam? Pray to the Prophet, huh? Which Prophet are we talking about? This isn't religion; it's a disgrace.

"These girls haven't seen their parents for eight months, eight months of suffering, eight months of being raped, eight months without food and water. Wake up! Bring them home now!"
