Gaza today after Hamas attack on Israel, kibbutz Nir Oz along the border with Gaza. 1,400 Israelis were slaughtered in that attack. Thousands of civilians have been evacuated from northern Gaza to the south under the auspices of the IDF over the last few days. During operations in northern Gaza, troops uncovered a terror tunnel next to an amusement park and another next to a university. Civilians have been evacuating to the south via designated humanitarian corridors opened by the IDF. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_f8BuiRdOnUYesterday, November 7th, was day 32 since the October 7th attack on the kibbutz in Israel by Hamas that was the attack of all attacks. 32 soldiers have been killed since the start of the ground offensive.
Sergeant first class Jonathan Chazor, 22, a fighter in Shaldag, from Katzir
St.-Sgt. (res.) Yaacov Ozeri, a fighter in the 52nd company, 401 Battalion in the Armoured Corps from Kfar Shamai, were killed in the fighting.
Most of our IDF soldiers are from age 18 to 22. Then we have all the reserve soldiers as well whose age could go up to 55. I know it did in 1982.
The Biden administration is pressuring Israel for a pause in the fighting. Israel is rejecting that notion. [Is anyone pressuring Hamas to stop fighting and to release the hostages? So far only Lebanon has joined the Palestinian Hamas. There will be no pause until the hostages are released.]
Hezbollah situated in Lebanon has been shelling Israel so has joined their Brothers Hamas in the fighting. Both, of course, are receiving their arms and finances and directions from Iran. Shooting from Lebanon continues in the north. The IDF is responding. In the north, terrorists continue to fire at troops. The IDF is responding with artillery fire and air strikes at terrorist positions in Lebanon.
Rockets continue to be fired from Gaza at Israeli communities. Last night a massive rocket barrage hit the Tel Aviv area. A rocket hit a house in Savyon, causing major damage but no injuries. This could be from Hezbollah.
IDF troops continue to eliminate terrorists in Gaza. An airstrike killed Mohsen Abu Zina, Hamas' Head of Weapons and Industries in its manufacturing department. The IDF is operating deep within Gaza City. Forces captured two members of Hamas' Nukhba force, who were involved in the October 7th massacre. Hamas tunnels are being discovered and destroyed. In one incident, troops discovered 50 rockets and launchers in the youth hall of a mosque.
Air force, artillery and naval forces are striking Gaza City.
In an interview with US media, Prime Minister Netanyahu said Israel will have to govern Gaza for "an indefinite period" after the war with Hamas is finished.
The IDF is working on dismantling explosive devices planted under roads and civilian infrastructure throughout Palestinian cities in the West Bank. Last night, security forces raided Tulkarm and killed 4 terrorists who were reportedly on their way to carry out an attack.
The Commander of the German Air Force, Lieutenant General Ingo Gerhartz, arrived at Israel's Sheba Medical Center with his staff to donate blood, in a strong show of support for Israel.
Yesterday marked the end of the 30 day mourning period following the Oct. 7th massacre. Ceremonies were held throughout the country and the Jewish world.
[Hamas has the ability to end the war and suffering in Gaza immediately -- by laying down their arms and returning the 240 hostages. The only other way is for the IDF to completely destroy Hamas. The world needs to force them to make the right decision.]
