The Americans have begun to build their “humanitarian aid” floating pier in Gaza, designed to bring more aid much faster to Gazans in need. Israel, of course, welcomes the move, for it wants that aid to come in as fast as possible, and without having to run the gauntlet of Hamas operatives stealing aid for […]
Netanyahu calls US sanctions against IDF unit ‘the height of absurdity’ and a ‘moral low’
The extent to which the Biden administration has been interfering in the business of Israel has become a provocation. An enemy is an enemy, but a fickle friend is dangerously unpredictable. Such is the Biden administration in its harassment of Israel at a time when Israel is embroiled in an existential war. This is the […]
Israeli defense minister: Iran, Hizballah, and Hamas are planning ‘October 7, part two’ for Ramadan
Before October 7, violence on the Temple Mount was routine and intense at times, and now Israel is gearing up for what the Jerusalem Post has called “October 7-Part 2,” which could be planned for this year’s upcoming Ramadan, a month dedicated to jihad and further inflamed by Palestinian dignitaries.

Israel strikes over 50 Hizballah targets and issues detailed threat ‘if provoked’
While the European Union, the United Nations and Joe Biden push for a ceasefire, the only way Israel can secure its country from obliteration and more savage attacks aimed at its civilians is continue its war against Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hizballah and any other jihadist force that is dedicated to destroying the Jewish state. […]
Israel responds to ICJ ruling while US states that genocide allegations are ‘unfounded’

Qatar-owned Al-Jazeera states that Israel is under pressure from the United States to move to a low-intensity war.

US Defense Secretary Austin: ‘Israel Will Define the Phases of the Campaign for Itself’
The situation remains fluid throughout Gaza; a few weeks ago some parts of the north seemed to have been completely subdued by the IDF, but then Hamas combatants reappeared out of tunnels, taking by surprise, and killing, IDF soldiers. This led to a renewal of fierce fighting by the IDF, including airstrikes, in the north. […]
It Could Have Been Much Worse: Defense Secretaries Austin and Gallant Meet
It could have been much worse. And lots of people — Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar, Tom Friedman, the members of the editorial board of The New York Times — were hoping for a much stronger statement from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin of the Bidenites’ displeasure with Israel. They are undoubtedly disappointed in the meeting Austin just […]
Hamas’ Use of Children as Human Shields: Rocket Launchers Next to Swimming Pool and Playground
Hamas uses civilians as human shields everywhere it can. It places its command-and-control centers, its rocket launchers, and its operatives, inside or near schools, hospitals, mosques, apartment houses, and playgrounds, where civilians become human shields. The terror group knows how hard Israel tries to minimize civilian casualties, including warning people away from targets that the […]
Israel war on Hamas enters new phase: 150 Hamas tunnels and bunkers destroyed
The Israeli Air Force has destroyed 150 Hamas tunnels and bunkers. But that merely touches the surface of the task ahead.
