Now that the war has begun again, and we hear about soldier shortages, we ask that you consider making a donation to them by clicking on the Donate button in the right hand column. All donations made via OneIsrael go straight to the soldiers on the front lines.
UPDATE 10:00 PM
It has been a revealing afternoon and evening in a depressing way. We reported in a previous update how 3 people Israel thought were “live” hostages are, in fact, dead. We wondered at the time how the IDF knows this information.
Apparently, much information is coming from released hostages.
In the last few hours, 2 more hostages believed to be alive have been declared dead based on we have learned from some of the women who have been released.
Throughout this hostage process, we have questioned here at OneIsrael, “how many of the hostages are alive, and how many are dead?”
Unfortunately, what we have found out today may be the tip of the iceberg; we may be on the verge of finding out that many are dead.
Missiles Fired At Israel Since Our Last Update
In the South and Central Regions
Missile fire out of Gaza has continued unabated with missiles fired at: Sderot (21:13); Gush Etzion (21:06); Nir Am, Sderot (21:06); Gan Yavne, Azrikam (21:02); Ashdod, Nes Ziona, Yavne, Rishon Lezion (20:01); Pri Gan (19:33); Holit, Sufa (19:32); Rishon, Ramla, Ashdod (17:01)
In the North
Hila, Hossen, Maona (19:23); Margaliot (16:53); Margaliot(16:41); Kiryat Shmona (16:35)
A Personal Note
We have been attacked with missiles 4 times here in this neighborhood of Ashdod today–more than on any other day of the war. In the last two attacks, we did not have a siren; we ran to our bomb shelter which we started hearing explosive intercepts over and around us.
UPDATE 4:25 PM
A massive attack on Ashdod–the largest of the war: the same areas were hit at 4:15 pm and four minutes later 4:19 pm.
We have just had 2 barrages of missiles from Gaza intercepted directly over our house here in Ashdod: 7 in the first barrage (16:15), 9 in the second (16:19). Other barrages hit other parts of the city and surrounding area. HamISIS has claimed responsibility for the attacks. Thank you to the international “humanitarian” community for giving the terrorists in Gaza “humanitarian” fuel to try to kill us.
UPDATE 4:00 PM
Despite the resumption of the war by HamISIS, there is still much talk about a one day ceasefire if “enough women” can be found by HamISIS to release.
The Last 5 Hours in the South
Incoming missile sirens for Netivot, Sderot, Sha’ar Hanegev (14:30 pm); Nirim, Ein Hashlosha (14:15); Kissufim (14:00); Nir Am (13:59); Kfar Aza (11:57); Nir Oz (11:37); Kissufim (11:34)
Three IDF soldiers were moderately wounded and two lightly wounded this morning when a mortar exploded in their staging area at Nir Am. Apparently, they were not wearing their ceramic vests and helmets because they did not know the ceasefire had ended.
The IDF has informed Kibbutz Nir Oz that three of its hostages in Gaza have been murdered: Aryeh Zalmanovitz (85), Ronan Engel (54), and Mia Goren (56). How the IDF knows this is unclear.
The Last 5 Hours in the North
Incoming missile sirens for Sha’ar Yishuv, Gosher, Dafna, and Beit Hillel (14:44). At least one missile intercepted.
UPDATE 11:00 AM
Thank You “Humanitarians” of the World
Thank you to all of “humanitarians” who forced a ceasefire down our throats and facilitated the delivery of hundreds of thousands of “humanitarian” liters of fuel into Gaza knowing all the while that HamISIS would use the fuel to operate their missile launchers in order to try to kill Israelis.
Several days ago, we wondered how long it would be before Israel would be pounded again by missiles once the ceasefire ended.
The answer is that HamISIS did not even wait for the ceasefire to end to begin firing at us again hitting Sderot early this morning.
Since then, there have been 11 more barrages, most recently at Yad Mordechai, Netiv Ha’Asara (11:00), Kfar Aza, Sderot, Nir Am (10:10), Sa’ad, Mefalsim, Nir Am (10:02), Kissufim (09:59), Ashkelon, Yad Mordechai, Zikim (09:11), and Ein Hashlosha, Nirim (08:50).
“Humanitarians”?
What a joke. There is not one scintilla of care for the citizens of Israel.
Thank you “humanitarians” of the world. For nothing.
On the Ground This Morning
*The IDF has distributed leaflets to the residents of Khan Younis declaring the city a war zone and instructing them to evacuate immediately.
*We are bombing in Khan Younis and in Rafah.
In Yemen
The IAF has used precision missiles to destroy Houthi launch sites and missile warehouses in Sana’a.
UPDATE 10:00 AM
*A senior HamISIS leader speaking on CBS television in the U.S. yesterday:
“We kidnapped babies and women as a means of putting pressure on Israel. I don’t know how many of them are alive, it doesn’t matter.“
Evil. Pure unadulterated evil. This is what we are fighting.
*These are the hostages that were finally released last night after yet another manufactured delay by HamISIS:
Those released last night.
UPDATE 8:00 AM
The war has resumed.
Incoming missile sirens sounded for Sderot, Nir Am (05:42), Holit (06:42), Holit (07:43), Sufa (07:47), Sderot, Nir Am (07:57).
The IAF is currently bombing various sections of Gaza.
Statement of PM Netanyahu’s Office:
The terrorist organization Hamas-ISIS violated the Agreement. It did not do its duty to release all female hostages and has launched missiles against the citizens of Israel.
With the return to fighting we emphasize that the Israeli government is committed to achieving the goals of the war: to release our hostages, destroy Hamas, and ensure that Gaza will never again pose a threat to the residents of Israel.
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.
