WARNING: THIS 9:00 PM UPDATE CONTAINS A PHOTO OF A DEAD TERRORIST YOU MAY FIND DISTURBING.
UPDATE 9:00 PM (final update of the day)
Shabbat has arrived in Israel but it has brought no Shalom.
The death toll in Israel has reached 1400.
More missile attacks in the last 4 hours including another attack on Tel Aviv just after 8:00 pm. 200 missiles fell on Ashkelon and environs between 2:00 and 6:00 alone.
Remember our new friends the Saudi Arabians? With whom we were going to change the face of the Middle East? Saudi Arabia has just frozen all normalization with Israel.
After the Forest Party massacre, a Hamas terrorist was photographed holding dozens of “trophy” T-shirts he had taken off the dead Israeli young people. This disgusting monster is a monster no more:
The terrorist was killed in an Israeli air strike this afternoon. We’d like to see every Hamas terrorist like this.
PS. Just after I published this update, another missile volley struck here in Ashdod. We’ve just emerged from our bomb shelter for the 22nd time this week.
UPDATE 6:00 PM
265 IDF soldiers are confirmed as having fallen in battle.
3,436 Israelis have been wounded since the beginning of the war: 29 are in critical condition, and 99 are in very serious condition. The situation of the others is described by the Health Ministry as “moderate.”
In the last 6 hours, there have been 22 missile barrages launched out of Gaza: two major attacks on Ashkelon, an attack on the Tel Aviv area at 5:00 pm, and many attacks on the Gaza border communities targeting Israeli soldiers massed there.
There have 2 attempts by Hamas to fly drones and hang gliders into Israel along the Gaza border.
Metula on the Lebanese border has been declared a closed military zone. There is a suspected terrorist infiltration from Lebanon at Kibbutz Hanita.
9 terrorists have been killed in Judea and Samaria this afternoon: 4 Palestinian terrorists were killed by Border Guards this afternoon when they tried to breach the security fence in the area. Other gun attacks occurred at Dotan, Merav, Shaked, and South Mount Hevron.
UPDATE 12:00 PM
The IDF Spokesman
The IDF Spokesman in the last 45 minutes: “In powerful attack waves IDF warplanes attacked 750 military targets through the night in Gaza and took down 11 high rise buildings housing Hamas offices.” The spokesman went on to say that the massive bombing destroyed numerous Hamas tunnels in northern Gaza with hundreds of terrorists in them.
The Gaza Health Ministry
This is not our first rodeo. We know that the Gaza Health Ministry which the leftist world relies on for what’s happening in Gaza is the main Hamas propaganda machine. Here are the current statistics posted on its site:
1,537 Palestinians killed including: 500 children and 2,760 women.
Notice any discrepancy? Btw, we can expect horrific fake photos coming out of Gaza as fast as the Health Ministry can print them.
Evil Incarnate
This morning on Israeli TV, a ZAKA volunteer told how in one kibbutz they found 20 handcuffed children shot to death, dumped into a pile, and burned.
Israeli-Arabs Rally In Support Of Israel
From a posting by an Israeli news source:
“Nail Zoevi founded an organization to assist in locating missing persons to ease the suffering of the families, and even started an awareness campaign. Naif Hayev and Tamir Falah from the settlement of Zarzir in the north are collecting equipment and food for the IDF soldiers – and they are not the only ones. ‘Most Israeli-Arabs feel that they are completely Israeli in this situation. I get a lot of calls, from Bedouin, Druze, from Nazareth, from Meitiba – asking how I can donate to the IDF.‘”
More Unbelievable IDF Negligence
It turns out that weeks before Saturday’s attack, the three main observation balloons on the Gaza border (one on the northern border, one on the central border, and on the southern border) that the IDF uses to monitor the fence fell to earth and went out of use–and went unrepaired.
The observation balloons were connected to advanced technological means and cameras with high observation capabilities, and were a significant tool in the IDF’s warning system.
UPDATE 7:30 AM
At the Kotel last night.
**257 Israeli soldiers have fallen in battle as the IDF has added the names of 12 more soldiers.
The number of Israeli dead has risen to 1,350.
Why did so many soldiers and police die on Saturday?
A policewoman in Sderot explained last night that the police were outgunned, outnumbered, and outpositioned.
In the battle at the police station, the police had pistols and the terrorists had high-powered assault rifles. The police had no idea that there were twice as many terrorists as they had. The police were on the ground, the terrorists were on the roof.
A similar description has been told by IDF forces on the ground in the border communities. They rushed into battle without realizing the huge numbers of terrorists and the degree to which the terrorists were armed. Or the degree to which the terrorists were entrenched. In short, the brave soldiers walked blindly into ambush after ambush.
A wonderful tribute
“TODAH” “THANK YOU” : Lights erected in the ultra-orthodox moshav Beit Halkiya by the residents in the landing path of fighter pilots returning to the Tel Nof AFB.
Heavy bombing of Gaza continues; Israel has informed the U.N. that the northern part of the ISIS state must be evacuated within 24 hours.
There is reason to believe that a ground invasion of Gaza may take place in the next 24-48 hours.
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.
