A Special Note of Thanks
Once again, we here at OneIsrael thank you for your support of Israel. All donations made here via the DONATE button you see on this page go straight to support IDF soldiers on the front lines which are 16 miles (25 km) south of here.
UPDATE 10:00 pm
366 soldiers, police, and first responders have fallen since the war began.
Defense Minister Galant speaking tonight:
“We control the northern part of the Gaza Strip, we broke through the defense lines and fortifications of Hamas from the north and south – the forces reached the center of the city, we found more than 500 tunnel shafts. We control the entire upper and central middle of the Gaza Strip in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, and especially in Gaza City; Hamas has lost control there. We have no moral right to stop fighting when there are hostages.”
In the Last Six Hours
*Two civilians were wounded, one critically, in the last missile barrage on the Tel Aviv area. Both were hit by shrapnel from an exploding missile.
*A surface to surface missile fired from Yemen was intercepted over Eilat. There were no physical wounds, but a number of people were treated for trauma.
*A drone launched in Lebanon was shot down near Yiftach on the Lebanese border.
*In the last few hours, the IAF has been intensively bombing HamISIS targets in the Jabaliya neighborhood of northern Gaza.
*A senior government official confirmed that the IDF ground operation will eventually extend into southern Gaza.
May Our Soldiers Be Blessed

UPDATE 4:00 PM
Heavy thunderstorms have hit the southern coast right on top of where our soldiers in Gaza are fighting.
More Tragically Dead
Liel Hetzroni. May her memory be for a blessing.
Liel Hetzroni, a 12-year-old, from Kibbutz Beeri had been listed as either missing or kidnapped. Using DNA, forensic pathologists have identified her remains from charred bones.
Noa Marciano, a 19-year-old IDF spotter. May her memory be for a blessing.
As you may not be aware, HamISIS released a video of Noa made after she was kidnapped to Gaza by the barbaric monsters. In the video, she said that it was 4 days after her capture. Noa, as she appeared in that video:
Today, HamISIS released another video, this one of a dead Noa. HamISIS claimed that she was killed in an IDF bombing; however, she appeared to have been killed by a blow or shot to the head.
The News on the Ground in the last 4 hours:
Missiles and mortars in the South:
Kissufim (15:55); Sa’ad, Nahal Oz (15:03); Kerem Shalom (14:38); Nahal Oz (14:10); Kfar Aza, Nahal Oz, Sa’ad (13:29); Nahal Oz (13:18); Kissufim (13:00)
Again, every one of these attacks was a mortar attack targeting our soldiers in staging areas on the Gaza border.

Why was Suella Braverman fired as British Home Secretary?
Because she criticized the London Metropolitan Police for ignoring vandalism by “pro-Palestinian mobs”, and because of this tweet:
This can’t go on. Week by week, the streets of London are filled with hate, violence, and anti-Semitism. Members of the public are being mobbed and intimidated. Jewish people in particular feel threatened. Further action is necessary.
By the way, she was fired by British PM Rishi Sunak who came to Israel and made a grand display of supporting the country and the Jewish people.
What is happening in Syria and Iraq to U.S. forces?
U.S, bases in Syria (and Iraq). There were more attacks by Iranian proxies on them last night (graphic source on graphic).
UPDATE 8:00 AM
Soldiers from the Golani Brigade After Fighting Their Way Into

*2 soldiers from the 299th Battalion, 300th Brigade, were badly wounded when an anti-tank missile fired from Lebanon hit their position at Merhav Talua along the Lebanon border.
Another Missing Israeli Identified
Vivian Silver of Kibbutz Be’eri.
Silver was a member of “Women Making Peace” and worked tirelessly to foster a Jewish-Muslim partnership. 37 days after October 7, forensic pathologists were finally able yesterday using DNA to identify her bullet-riddled body which had been burned beyond recognition by HamISIS Muslim terrorists.
In Judea and Samaria
*5 Palestinian terrorists were killed in Tulkarm overnight after the IDF called in an airstrike on the terrorists.
*A Palestinian terrorist attempted to stab IDF soldiers at the Beit Anon Junction north of Kiryat Arba beside Hevron. The terrorist was killed; no soldiers were wounded. This was the 6th attempted stabbing in Judea, Samaria, and Jerusalem in the last two weeks; the others occurred at Beit Aryeh, Qalqilya, Dorot Elit, Milbrod, Tel Aviv, and the Flower Gate in Jerusalem.
Palestinian terrorists attacked Israelis with Molotovs, “rocks”, and IEDs at dozens of locations including Doura Al-Kra, Road 446 near Deir Kadis, between Neria and Kerem Reim, between Tapuach and Akbara, south of Rahelim, Road 443 near Beit Sira, at Tal Menashe, Luban Al Sharqiya, Rosh Tzurim, Beit Lakia, between Giti Avishar and Ariel, Road 458 near Rimonim, and at Hawara.
The Video Shown Last Night on Israel Television
Click here to watch the video (in English) shown by IDF Spokesman Daniel Hagari of his visit yesterday to the Rantisi Hospital. In the video, he shows the HamISIS underground facility with weapons and a place to hold hostages.
Speaking of Hospitals
The IDF delivered baby incubators to Shifa Hospital this morning at the request of the hospital administrator.
A student from Malawi, who had worked with an Israeli health volunteer in his country battling AIDS, came up to us as we walked down the street in the UC-Davis Picnic Day Parade and wanted to carry the Israeli flag.
