UPDATE 8:00 PM ISRAEL TIME
The reaction to Trump’s victory in Israel was along ideological lines with the members of the Israeli “right” elated, and those on the “left” mournful.
The first world leader to congratulate Trump was Benjamin Netanyahu:
By the way, this tweet has become Netanyahu’s most read tweet ever with 6 million views already. As you may not know, Netanyahu’s popularity on social media has skyrocketed since the beginning of the wars, and especially in the last few months. Before the wars, he had 2.1 million followers on Twitter, and now he has 3.1 million.
Trump and Netanyahu have also apparently already spoken on the phone.
Moreover, Trump wasted no time in delivering a message to Hamas and others last night in his victory speech:
“And the entire world, I tell you this: We want our hostages back and they better be back before I assume office or you will be paying a very big price.”
On the Ground in the North and in Gaza
The IDF Spokesman:
“The IAF eliminated Hussain Abd Al-Haleem Harb, Hezbollah’s Khiam region Commander, who directed and executed many rocket attacks against communities in the Galilee, and against the area of Metula specifically.
IDF soldiers continue operational activity in southern Lebanon.
Over the past day, the forces directed several aerial strikes, during which a number of Hezbollah terrorists were eliminated after being identified firing rockets yesterday (Tuesday) at northern Israel. Also eliminated in these strikes were terrorists who were identified operating in the area.
Over the past day, the IAF struck approximately 70 terror targets belonging to Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza, including terrorist cells, terror infrastructure sites, weapons storage facilities, missile launchers, and additional terror infrastructure. “

A Palestinian terrorist rammed a female civilian at the Shiloh Junction. He then got out of the vehicle and attempted to stab her after she got up and ran away. He was subsequently shot to death by a nearby civilian.
Another Palestinian terrorist opened fire at two leftist activists in the Jordan Valley. There is no word on their condition at this time, and the terrorist escaped.
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.
