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!"

‼️The IDF Spokesman will soon address the nation regarding four additional bodies of hostages recovered in Gaza.

The bodies were found in a tunnel the entrance to which is inside a United Nations compound in Rafah.

I'd say "look surprised," but I don't think any of us are surprised any longer to learn that the UN collaborates with Hamas.

Lebanon flag spotted at pro-Israel rally in London.

Get Iran out of Lebanon, and Israel and Lebanon could be friends.

The IDF has released the names of three hostages whose bodies were recovered in Rafah:

Hanan Yablonka

Orion Hernandez Radoux (who was with Shani Louk)

Michel Nisenbaum

May their memory be a blessing.

Hanan Yablonka and Orion Hernandez were at the Nova music festival when they were abudcted.

Michel Nisenbaum had left Sderot to rescue his granddaughter from the IDF base in Re'im near the festival and the Gaza border.

According to IDF intelligence, all three were murdered on October 7 and their bodies taken to the Gaza Strip.

"Protestors are taking to the streets all over the world, not because they care for Palestinians, but to shake their fists at the God of Israel."

Israeli forces demolish the UNRWA terror school in eastern Rafah.

Even as Israel provides statistics showing there can't possibly be a real famine or humanitarian food crisis in Gaza, the International Criminal Court says there is, and will base its upcoming judgment on that false narrative.

Truth is dead.
