 Another Hostage Negotiating Team Heads For The HamISIS Terror Capital

The Israeli negotiating team led by Mossad head Barnea has left for Qatar to resume negotiations again. It is anticipated that this round will last for two weeks.

On the Ground in Gaza

Here in Ashdod, we were awake all night because of the booms from bombs and artillery exploding in Gaza. This morning, we have discovered that a “belt of fire” was established around the Shifa Hospital.

Based on intel that numerous terrorists had returned to Shifa, the IDF staged a surprise raid on the terror stronghold. Patients and doctors were evacuated from the hospital as were residents of nearby housing.

The latest reports are that dozens of terrorists have been killed, but many more are holed up in the hospital and have been engaged in a fierce firefight with IDF troops all day.

A “Demonstration” at the Jerusalem Offices of UNRWA

A group of activists from the IDF reserves staged a “corpse” demonstration at the offices this morning blocking the entrance and hanging a sign calling for UNRWA to be declared a terrorist organization.

As you may remember, it has now been shown that at least 400 UNRWA members were involved in the October 7th massacres.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day?

President Biden used the occasion of the St. Patrick’s Day holiday yesterday celebration at the White House to make these remarks: “We agree that there is an urgent need to increase the scope of humanitarian aid to Gaza and to achieve a ceasefire that includes The release of the abductees will lead us to a two-state solution – this is the only path to peace and security.”

Who exactly is “we”? Certainly most Israelis would heartily disagree that that there is an urgent need for more humanitarian aid to Gaza and would also disagree that a two-state solution in the only path to peace and security.

Spy Cows

The Palestinians blame: Israel is using spies against us

From a Hamal report:

According to the official daily newspaper of the PLO, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, a resident of a remote Palestinian settlement has reported that Israel has secretly trained cows to spy on Palestinians.

Rashed Morar, one of the elders of the village of Kharbat Yanon, a small Palestinian settlement near Shechem with about 120 inhabitants, claimed that he came across a spy cow, contacted the local media, and claimed that the cow and other cows had been recruited and trained by Israelis to spy on him and his friends in the village.

Singapore Joins the Comedic Party

It was announced yesterday that Singapore will join the USA, Jordan, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Turkey, Egypt, the UAE, Bahrain, Iran, Morocco, and others in undertaking airdrops of humanitarian aid over Gaza.

In your humble servant’s opinion, the next humanitarian drops should include helmets to protect Palestinians in Gaza from getting hit in the head by the humanitarian aid. Another Palestinian was killed yesterday when hit in the head by a pallet of humanitarian aid dropped from an American plane.
