UPDATE 4:00 PM ISRAEL TIME
On the Ground in the North
Yesterday saw three massive barrages of explosive drones fired by Hezbollah into northern Israel over the course of about 20 minutes.
Not only was the number of drones launched significant but also the depth they reached into Israel–down to the Kineret:
As you can see, Hezbollah is now targeting Israeli communities all the way down to the Kineret (Sea of Galilee).
On the Ground in Gaza
Today we have further confirmation of what we wrote on yesterday’s blog concerning the IAF strike on the “school” in Khan Younis.
Just how little this school was a school was illustrated by this graphic released by the IDF yesterday which shows 19 of the terrorists killed in the strike:
Civilians? A hornet’s nest of HamISIS and Islamic Jihad commanders and subcommanders. When the IAF hit the “school”, it hit the jackpot.
“Children” Massacred?
The HamISIS pr office published photos including many of those above today claiming that they were “children” killed in the strike on the school.
Some real facts:
53 Israeli children and teenagers were murdered on October 7th in ways too gruesome to even conceive of.
23 children have been orphaned because both of their parents were murdered.
870 more children lost one parent.
1014 children lost have lost one brother or sister.
19,900 children have been classified as “casualties of hostilities” by the National Insurance Institute–1,873 children and teenagers have been classified as “disabled.”
In the Neighborhood
Six Syrians belonging to pro-Iranian militias were killed earlier today in an IAF drone strike in Deir Ez-Zor in eastern Syria.
On the Ground in Judea and Samaria
Palestinian terrorists in a car opened fire on an Israeli at the Machola Junction an hour ago. One Israeli was killed, and one wounded; the terrorists 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.
