UPDATE 10:00 PM
The IDF Announces That 3 More Soldiers Have Fallen In Battle
In Gaza:
Sgt First Class (res.) Tal Shua, 31, from Beersheva, a soldier in the Combat Engineering Corps’ 7071st Battalion.
Lt. Shai Ayeli, 21, from Ashkelon, an officer in the Special Tactics Rescue Unit 669.
On the Lebanese Border:
Sgt. Amit Hod Ziv, 19, from Rosh Ha’ayin, soldier in the 71st Battalion.
May Their Memories Always Be For A Blessing
Another soldier wounded in the same Hezbollah attack in which Sgt. Ziv was killed is in extremely critical condition at Rambam Hospital. His name has not been released but he needs your prayers on this Shabbat.
UPDATE 5:00 PM
Another Hostage Murdered by HamISIS
Gadi Hagi has been verified “dead” by the IDF. Gadi was a 73-year-old father of 4 and grandfather of 7. Known as a man of “nature”, he was a chef who followed a healthy vegan lifestyle and entertained his home of Kibbutz Nir Oz by playing various wind instruments.
On the morning of 10/7 he and his wife, Judy Weinstein were taking their normal early morning walk when they were attacked by the barbarians from Gaza. Both were shot and taken wounded to Gaza.
Nothing has been heard about Judy, but it is assumed that she is still held captive.
Gadi’s body is still held by the Palestinian terrorists.
Another Inhumane Situation Faced By Our Soldiers
HamISIS uses women, children, and unarmed men as “observers” to draw our soldiers into traps.
It was reported this afternoon that after passing some women and children, an IDF force in Khan Younis spotted “unarmed” men. Because they were “unarmed”, the soldiers hesitated whereupon they were hit with a barrage of RPGs.
The IDF has not provided information about what happened to the soldiers.
Insanity At Hebrew University
Classes at the university are supposed to resume in the coming weeks–at which time large numbers of reservists and regular army soldiers are expected to fill the classrooms.
Yesterday, Arab lecturers and students at the university expressed “concern and discomfort with the proliferation of Israeli flags at the Hebrew University” saying that “the unquestioned dominance of the flag conveys a message of lack of belonging among the Palestinians.”
Lack of belonging?
In our opinion here at OneIsrael, any student who feels uncomfortable with an Israeli flag doesn’t belong at Hebrew University.
By the way, these are the same students and lecturers who regularly parade around Hebrew University waving PLO flags and taunt non-Palestinians with their pro-Palestinian chants.
Shabbat Shalom!
Shabbat has arrived here in Israel and so we wish you Shabbat Shalom–and especially we wish a safe Shabbat to our soldiers!
UPDATE 12:00 PM
On the Ground and In the Air In The Last Few Hours
*A drone launched from an Iranian proxy in Iraq at Eilat was intercepted over Jordan.
*Hezbollah has launched 23 missiles into northern Israel this morning. This comes after reports last night that Hezbollah launched a suicide drone at Israel’s Karish Natural Gas platform in the Mediterranean. That drone was successfully intercepted, but the attack represents a new step of aggression by Hezbollah.
*A police officer was run over by a Palestinian terrorist at the Bartea Junction in Samaria; according to the hospital she is “moderately” wounded. The terrorist was shot.
*From the IDF Spokesman two hours ago: “The soldiers of the 5th Brigade Combat team have moved from defense to offense . . . The 5th Brigade’s combat team conducted operational activity in the Kasbah complex in Beit Hanoun last week. The soldiers of the combat team – together with aerial fire support, observation posts and combat engineering forces – cleared the area of the Kasbah, eliminated terrorists, struck dozens of terrorist targets and infrastructure.”
*Missile launch sites are literally everywhere in Gaza. Click here to see a site discovered in a cemetery in Shujayieh yesterday.
UPDATE 8:00 AM
56 buildings in Shujayieh were bombed at one time yesterday. The scene from Nahal Oz. HamISIS monsters from Shujayieh assaulted Nahal Oz on October 7.
There have been massive IAF attacks along the length and breadth of Gaza last night and early this morning targeting Deir al-Balach, Gavlia, Shahja’ia, Khan Yunis and Rafih. The attacks are continuing at this hour.
Why Don’t We Ever Learn?
It is simply dumbfounding how Israel fails to learn its lessons.
First, there are few countries in the world more violently anti-Israel than Turkey, yet we continue to permit Turkish products to be imported into the country.
Yesterday, a Turkish container sent to Shechem (Nablus) via the port in Ashdod supposedly contained a huge industrial weaving machine.
When police cut holes into the machine, they discovered thousands of parts for automatic weapons and rifles.
Why don’t we stop all imports from Turkey immediately?
Second, in the wake of October 7, after which we learned that Palestinian workers from Gaza who worked on IDF bases and in border communities gave sensitive information to HamISIS (or were HamISIS members themselves), the IDF continues to use Palestinian workers on IDF bases.
It is beyond comprehension.
This is happening on a large scale in Judea and Samaria with soldiers now complaining that Palestinians are now being employed at the Ofra Outpost, in the Yehuda Hamar, and even at the headquarters of Judea and Samaria division.
How long will it be until October 7th happens again?
(Thank you to the Jewish Voice for reportage on Judea and Samaria)
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.
