UPDATE 9:45 AM
*A 19-year-old girl was stabbed in the back last night in Ramla by a self-described Palestinian who was subsequently shot and killed by a civilian at the scene. She is “serious and stable” condition this morning after having been upgraded from “critical” last night.
*2 Palestinian terrorists attacked the Salem Outpost in northern Samaria of Unit 636 of the Menashe Brigade with gunfire overnight. No soldiers were wounded. The terrorists were shot and killed.
*Hezbollah launched missiles at the Israeli community of Shomera about an hour ago at 08:33 this morning. There are no reports of casualties at this moment. Last night, Hezbollah launched more than 30 missiles toward the IDF post on Mt. Hermon. Remarkably, there were no casualties.
*An IAF strike eliminated Matzab Halaf, a senior terrorist in the Lebanese group Islamic Jama’a, near Maidon yesterday along with his deputy. He had long been wanted for numerous terror attacks against Israelis:
Halaf’s car.
*Two more Hezbollah terrorists were killed in an attack in Bekaa Lebanon.
*The IDF has been active on multiple fronts in Gaza last night and this morning: Rafah, Nuseirat, Khan Younis, and Gaza City. At least 10 terrorists were reportedly killed in the Saudi neighborhood of Rafah.
The IDF Spokesman (at 9:15 am) this morning speaking about Gaza:
“The IAF attacked yesterday (Friday) a launch site from which launches were carried out during the war towards the city of Ashdod.
During the night, aircraft attacked a launch site in Khan Yunis from which launches were launched against our forces during the war and were even prepared to launch additional launches from the area against IDF forces operating in the Strip.
The combat team forces of the ‘Yiftah’ Brigade (679) detected a terrorist squad preparing to fire at our forces from a military building in the center of the Gaza Strip and attacked the building the squad was operating in.
In addition, aircraft of the Air Force in cooperation with the 99th Division attacked a vehicle in the center of the Gaza Strip In the last day, Air Force combat and aircraft attacked more than 25 targets of the terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip, including military buildings where armed terrorists operated, IDF warehouses, underground infrastructures and other terrorist infrastructures.”
On the Hostage Situation
It is fair to say that no one really knows what is going on. Who has proposed what? What more concessions has Israel agreed to? Is the Rafah operation on or off?
For example, Israeli media has broadcast at least 5 different versions of the plan proposed by Egypt. The latest news is that Egypt has proposed that HamISIS release 20 hostages in return for a 3-week truce, and the halting of any Israeli incursion into Rafah. Yesterday, completely different terms were reported about their proposal.
Netzah Yehuda Won’t Be Sanctioned After All
After the drama of last week in which Bidenites of all stripes including Secretary of State Blinkin declared that the ultra-orthodox Netzah Yehuda Battalion would be sanctioned for alleged human rights violations, the Biden Administration has apparently backed down.
They were reportedly surprised at how those proposed sanctions were met with a chorus of anger from both the left and the right in Israel.
Guess Who Came To Dinner in Beijing Yesterday?
If you guessed representatives from HamISIS and the PLO, you would be correct.
According to official reports, the two terror organizations discussed how they could put away their “internal differences” and focus on Israel.
Say what?
In case anyone has forgotten, elements of the PLO were involved in the massacres of October 7th where along with their cohorts in HamISIS they butchered, burned, and seized Israeli children, women, and men.
And to think that the Chinese are now facilitating HamISIS and the PLO “reconciliation”.
On this unsavory note, we wish our soldiers and you dear readers:
Shabbat Shalom.
OneIsrael’s Campaign For Our Soldiers
IDF soldiers on the ground need basic protective gear, armaments, and supplies.
Even during the recent Iranian attacks soldiers were forced to lie in open trenches to protect themselves from incoming missiles and drones as they have been doing for months on the Gaza and northern borders.
OneIsrael is now engaged in a campaign to help protect our soldiers. This campaign will extend through Passover and to Shavuot.
Please consider donating to our campaign by clicking on the donate button in the right hand column on this page. All donations go directly to our soldiers.
Thank you to those of you who have already contributed to the protection of our brave men and women in uniform!
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.
