Father Noam (shot in the leg here) and stepmom Dafna were murdered. Big brother Tomer, 17, was forced by the terrorist to go door-to-door to get people out, so that Hamas can shoot them. When he was done, they killed him. They streamed it… pic.twitter.com/QmSY1CM4C6
Hamas used landline phones in Gaza tunnels to evade Israeli intelligence for 2 years while plotting attack
A small cell of Hamas terrorists used old-school landline phones specially installed in the “spider web’’ of tunnels under Gaza to evade Israeli intelligence forces for two years while plotting the group’s horrific Oct. 7 attack, a report revealed.
The hard-wired phone system allowed Hamas to communicate without being detected by Israel or the United States, sources told CNN Tuesday, catching the Jewish state by surprise with the attack that left about 1,400 dead.
Planning meetings were held in person whenever possible, and digital communications on cellphones and computers were avoided to ensure secrecy, the sources said.
Knowledge about the attack was also kept secret from the majority of Hamas’ fighting force until days before the shock assault in an effort to prevent any information from slipping out — even as the terrorists trained above ground without knowing their objective.
“That’s how you compartment and keep something that’s tight,” a source told CNN, explaining that intelligence about Hamas’ network of secrecy was shared with the US by Israeli officials.
Intelligence officials were not alarmed to see Hamas training because “the thinking was, ‘Oh, they always train people like this.’ It didn’t look different,” the source said.
It is believed Hamas learned its security and secrecy methods from Iran, but US intelligence does not believe the nation was directly involved in actually planning the Oct. 7 attack, according to CNN.
Over 545,000 New Yorkers left the state in 2022 —headed for Florida, Texas and farther
It’s an Empire State of decline.
Beset by high taxes and quality of life woes, 545,498 New Yorkers left for other states in 2022, according to US Census data.
Top destinations included Florida — the most popular choice — followed by New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania as well as more distant states like Texas and California.
The exodus was partly offset by more people moving to the Empire State in 2022 than any year over the last decade, with 301,000 new residents making the transition.
Despite that uptick, New York still suffered a net population loss of 244,000.
The departures have yet to impact New York City housing costs, with median rents continuing to hover near all-time post COVID-19 highs.
According to a recent report from real estate company Elliman, Manhattan median rents stood at $4,350 in September — up from $4,022 during the same period last year.

When the power goes, Hamas will be forced out of the tunnels
Hamas fears that in the coming days, the Gaza Strip will run out of fuel and there will be no electricity, which will cause the ventilation systems in the tunnels dug under the enclave to shut down, a security official told Walla today (Tuesday).
When the electricity runs out, the Hamas terrorists will be forced out of the tunnels into the open air, he claimed.
"According to a calculation made by the security establishment, and an analysis of the humanitarian situation in terms of supplies in general and the amount of fuel in particular in the Gaza Strip, in a short time we will see Hamas come under great pressure," said the source.
He also said that "the leaders, commanders, and activists - what interests the Hamas leadership is the fuel, not food and water. Why? Because most of its leadership and fighters are in tunnels deep underground. They need power to circulate air, operate the communication systems, and activate the rocket launchers.
Earlier today, the UNRWA refugee organization said that if fuel does not enter the Gaza Strip by tomorrow, the organization would be forced to stop its activities in Gaza.
IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari responded to the allegations and said: "Hamas has 500,000 liters of fuel, go ask them."
The “Shocking, Horrible" Remarks of UN Chief! May He Rot in Hell!
Israel is protesting after UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres appeared to try to explain the impetus behind the Hamas terror group’s attacks on Israel at a UN Security Council meeting on the Israel-Hamas.
Guterres added that “the grievances of the Palestinian people cannot justify the appalling attacks by Hamas. And those appalling attacks cannot justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people.”
Israeli envoy to the UN Gilad Erdan calls Guterres’s remarks “shocking,” “horrible,” and “totally detached from the reality of our region.”
“His comments… constitute a justification for terrorism and murder,” Erdan says. “It’s sad that a person with such views is the head of an organization that arose after the Holocaust.”
Dark are the days when the United Nations Secretary General condones terror.

Absolutely nothing can justify the slaughter of innocent civilians.
Now is the time to stand on the right side of history, or be judged by it.
Terror apologists cannot speak on behalf of the world.
The @UN Secretary-General, who shows understanding for the campaign of mass murder of children, women, and the elderly, is not fit to lead the UN.

I call on him to resign immediately.
There is no justification or point in talking to those who show compassion for the most…
IDF Stops major Hamas sea-borne infiltration attempt
Several terrorists were killed off Israel’s southern coast after attempting to infiltrate into the Jewish state from the Gaza Strip, the Israel Defense Forces said on Tuesday night.
“Sea Corps soldiers attacked a terror cell that tried to infiltrate into Israeli territory by sea in the Zikim area,” the IDF confirmed, adding that jets struck the structure in Gaza from where the terrorists left.
According to Israel’s Channel 12, at least 10 terrorists were killed.
Residents of Zikim and Karmia were ordered to lock themselves in their homes, the broadcaster said.
Later on Tuesday night, the IDF’s Homefront Command also issued infiltration warnings for the nearby community of Netiv HaAsara.
The military will continue to scan the area for terrorist infiltrations overnight Tuesday, Channel 12 reported, including on the beach of Ashkelon.
On Monday, the IDF announced that five senior Hamas commanders had been killed in recent days, as the military continues to strike thousands of Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip.
On Oct. 14, the IDF eliminated Murad Abu Murad, head of Hamas’s aerial array in the Gaza Strip. The array played a significant role in the terrorist group’s Oct. 7 massacre of western Negev communities, according to the military.
The four other aerial array commanders killed were identified by the IDF as Moethe Abdel Rahman, responsible for training; Othman Hamdan, commander of air defenses in the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood; Muhammad Alrifi, responsible for the unit’s supplies in Gaza City; and Ghassan Shakfouh, responsible for the unit’s training in northern Gaza.
According to the IDF over 400 terrorist targets had been hit in the past 24 hours, including on Monday night the elimination of the deputy commanders of Hamas’s Nuseirat, Shati and Furqan battalions.
“Dozens” of Hamas gunmen preparing to fire rockets and carry out terrorist attacks were also killed, according to the military.
IDF fighter jets also struck terrorist infrastructure in the neighborhoods of Shuja’iyya, Shati, Jabalia, Daraj Tuffah and Zaytun, including a tunnel shaft that gave terrorists access to the coastline, command centers and staging grounds located in mosques.
