The Tragic Post of the Day
We have previously reported how Palestinian terrorists in Gaza tried to sell the head of IDF soldier Adir Tahar to his family for $10,000. Adir was beheaded on October 7th.
Tragic: the mother of 19-year-old Adir Tahar at the grave of her son.
As is noted in the post, Adir’s head was found by IDF troops in a refrigerator in Gaza and returned to the family in Israel.
The sheer brutality of the HamISIS monsters is incomprehensible.
UPDATE 6:00 PM
Another IDF Soldier Has Fallen
Sgt. Ori Gerby, 20, from Herzliya, a fighter in the Givati Patrol, died of wounds sustained two days ago.
May His Memory Always Be For A Blessing
Insanity Corrected?
Following a letter that was unbelievably sent out yesterday from the Israel Health Ministry calling on hospitals to care for wounded terrorists from Gaza and Lebanon, Health Minister Uriel Bosso this morning (Friday) directed the director general of the ministry Moshe Bar Siman Tov to cancel the procedure sent yesterday to the hospitals for the reception, treatment and hospitalization of residents from Gaza or the fighting areas in the north who are evacuated by the IDF from the fighting areas and transferred to Israel.
A Voice of Reason From An Unexpected Source
By a vote of 312-131, the European Parliament voted yesterday to call for a ceasefire in Gaza on the conditions that Hamas is dismantled and the hostages are unconditionally released. It also condemned countries that ” provide financial, material and operational aid to Hamas.”

The Last 24 Hours in Judea and Samaria
From the IDF Spokesman:
“After about 45 hours, a counter-terrorism operation led by the Menashe Brigade in the Tulkarm camp ended: the forces searched about 1,000 buildings and interrogated hundreds of suspects, of which more than 37 wanted persons were arrested, some of them senior members of the Tulkarm terrorist infrastructure.
The fighters located and destroyed over 400 explosives, confiscated 27 weapons and a lot of military equipment and destroyed five explosives manufacturing laboratories and four observation posts.”
What the Spokesman did not mention is that more Palestinian terrorists were killed when the ambulance they were riding in blew up from a bomb they were carrying to be planted beside a road.

The Last 24 Hours in the Red Sea
The Houthis in a statement: “We fired at an American ship in the Gulf of Aden, a hit was detected.”
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.
