Names of four IDF soldiers who were killed northern Gaza cleared for publication
The names of four IDF soldiers who were killed in battle in northern Gaza were cleared for publication on Friday morning, after their families were notified:
Captain Beni Wais, 22, from Haifa, platoon commander in the 195th Battalion, 460th Brigade.
Master Sgt. (res.) Uriah Mash, 41, from Talmon, who fought in the 52nd Battalion, 401st Brigade.
Master Sgt. (res.) Yehonatan Yosef Brand, 28, from Jerusalem, who fought in the 52nd Battalion, 401st Brigade.
Sgt. Major (res.) Gil Pishitz, 39, from Harish, a tank driver in the 9th Battalion, 401st Brigade.
On Thursday evening, it was cleared for publication that IDF paratrooper Yair Nifousy was killed in battle against Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip.
Staff Sgt. Nifousy, a 20-year-old resident of Adi, served in the Paratrooper’s 101st Battalion. He was seriously wounded in battle in northern Gaza Wednesday night and succumbed to his injuries on Thursday.
Another soldier from the 101st Battalion was also wounded in the same battle.
Another soldier who fell in battle in the northern Gaza Strip was Lt. Col. Salman Habaka, 33, from Yanuh-Jat.
Wall Street Journal: Hamas “Ceasefire” Means Murdering More Israeli Civlians
An article published on Wednesday by the Wall Street Journal’s editorial board states that at the same time that Hamas pleads for a ceasefire on humanitarian grounds to the English-speaking world, it vows in Arabic to repeat the October 7 attacks.
The report quotes an interview on Lebanese television with Ghazi Hamad, a member of the Hamas Politburo, who vowed that Hamas’s depraved assault on October 7 on women, children, and babies “is just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth.”
The article continues: That’s what a cease-fire means to Hamas: a chance to repeat Oct. 7 another day. The similar idea of a “humanitarian pause,” gaining steam on the Western left, is to Hamas merely an opportunity to reload. There is nothing humane about pressuring Israel to leave a genocidal enemy in power on its border.
Hamas isn’t ashamed to announce its intent to sacrifice Gazans to kill Jews—at least to receptive audiences. A poll published Monday in Beirut’s Al Akhbar newspaper reported that 80% of Lebanese respondents supported Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack. In another Arabic-language interview, on Oct. 19, Hamas leader Khaled Mashal argued that “nations are not easily liberated,” noting that it sometimes has required the deaths of millions of people. He figures he’s the man for the job.
Given how cheap Hamas holds Palestinian lives, it is no surprise that the terrorist group is shameless about murdering Israelis. Mr. Hamad, on Lebanese TV, says, “We are the victims of the occupation, period. Therefore, nobody should blame us for the things we do. On Oct. 7, on Oct. 10, on October one-millionth, everything we do is justified.”
That’s also the radical-chic view on U.S. campuses: “Resistance by any means necessary”—don’t think, parrot Hamas propaganda.
Hamas promises more massacres in Arabic while asking for a humanitarian reprieve in English. It knows from experience that some Westerners are gullible enough to fall for it.
The hundreds of comments on the article, which from a quick perusal seem to all agree with the author’s conclusions, show that many Americans aren’t fooled by the media’s obsession with the “suffering of the innocent civilians in Gaza caused by the illegal Israeli occupier.”
IDF Spokesman Slams CNN for Refusing to Say Jerusalem is Located in Israel
IDF Spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus, who has appeared on CNN frequently since the Hamas terror attack, mocked the leftist cable network on Twitter Thursday, over its fake news reporting.
Conricus astutely observed that CNN refuses to acknowledge that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, or that it’s even LOCATED in Israel. He sarcastically called it a ‘technical oversight’ by the notoriously anti-Israel outlet.
He tweeted: “Jerusalem is the capital of the State of Israel. I wonder why it says “Tel Aviv, Israel” above me, but only “Jerusalem”, without “Israel” over the @cnni reporter . Must be a technical oversight, right?”
In 2017 when President Trump moved the embassy, CNN wrote: US President Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital on Wednesday and announced plans to relocate the US embassy there, upending seven decades of US foreign policy in a move expected to inflame tensions in the region and unsettle the prospects for peace.
Israel Says It Will Bar Palestinians in Gaza From Working in Israel
DIN: it was the Gazan who worked at those kibbutzim that provided detailed info and gave it to Hamas!
Israel will stop providing funding to the Palestinian Authority earmarked for the Gaza Strip and will bar Palestinians in Gaza from working in Israel, the country said in a statement.
Though Hamas seized control of Gaza from the Palestinian Authority in 2007, the PA has continued to pay tens of thousands of civil servants in the strip. The decision by Israel’s Security Cabinet on Thursday would punish the cash-strapped PA for continuing those salaries.
“Israel is severing off all contact with Gaza,” the government statement read.
Under interim peace accords from the 1990s, Israel collects tax funds on behalf of Palestinians and transfers the money to the PA each month.
The statement also said Israel was revoking permits for the roughly 18,000 Palestinians from Gaza who were allowed to work inside Israel. The jobs were highly coveted in Gaza, an impoverished territory with an unemployment rate of roughly 50%.

Satmar Newspaper "Der Yid" Blames All the Deaths of Oct 7 on the Zionists Just Like HAMAS!
"this is a one long chain for the terrible price that klall Yisrael is paying for the existence of the Zionist State that was established before the coming of the Mashiach, climaxing with the latest murder by Hamas of 1,400 sacrifices"
In the final paragraph, the first 5 lines, from Der Goy, could be mistaken for a Hamas handbook
"those with faith, should be careful not to fall for Zionist propaganda that is all over the news and the streets. bla bla bla
We should all pray for the total antihalation of the State, but with compassion and it should not cost another drop of Jewish blood, G-d help!"
Guys you get this? This is what they are davening for?
"The annihilation of the only Jewish State" Ouch!
Oh! But they add without "costing another drop of Jewish blood?"
Thank you!
In his sefer "Al Hagila" the Satmar Rebbe z"l has a solution how this can happen, he suggests that the State be under the auspices of the United Nations!
Hellllllllow!
The UN???????
The UN is now siding with Hamas!!
Even during the 6 day war, when the Satmar Rebbe asked Yossel Ashkanazi to write that sefer, the UN sided with the Arabs!!Yet, he suggested that the UN take over.
Tell me one country that is under the UN auspices and has a lasting peace.
Is there anyone out there that can tell me the difference in ideology between Neturei Karta, Hamas and Satmar?
Why the ACLU is going to bat for Donald Trump
When the American Civil Liberties Union goes to bat for Donald Trump, it’s a red flag.
The ACLU generally fights for far-left causes.
But the ACLU always has championed the rights of the accused.
This time, the accused is Trump.
The ACLU is protesting a gag order US District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan imposed Oct. 17 to silence Trump, at the request of federal prosecutor Jack Smith. Trump has called Smith a “thug.”
Chutkan’s order bars Trump from making any statements “targeting” Smith, the witnesses in the case or the judge herself. Trump’s lawyers appealed.
Chutkan paused the gag order for several days but reinstated it Sunday.
The ACLU is backing Trump’s right to speak.
Whether you like Trump or hate him, watch this battle.
If prosecutors can silence a former president, think what they could do to you.
The ACLU argues the gag order violates Trump’s First Amendment rights and the public’s right to hear Trump’s views so it can decide “whether he deserves to be elected again.”
History and the Bill of Rights are on Trump’s side.
Biden Waiting For Americans to Die Before He will Act Against Iran
While there is no serious doubt Iran is driving the Middle East crisis, President Biden continues ignoring the strategic implications of this fundamental reality.
As in Ukraine, where the administration worries more about Russian “escalation” than Ukrainian victory, Biden worries more about the Middle East conflict “spreading” beyond Israel and Hamas than about defeating the Iran-directed threats.
There is no sign the White House is prepared to hold Iran accountable for what has already happened to innocent Israelis and Americans, amid increasingly troubling signs Iran’s future actions will also not trigger accountability.
Israel will continue inflicting significant damage to Hamas and other Iranian proxies, but the terrorists’ strategic masters in Tehran are escaping unharmed.
Biden’s rhetoric about Israel’s inherent right of self-defense is robust, and he has, so far, strongly supported increased aid.
But watch for his resolve to weaken under sustained assaults from the Democratic Party’s pro-Palestinian left wing, the international High Minded and the media.
Similarly, Biden and his advisers have taken a tough rhetorical line regarding strikes against Americans by Iran’s proxy forces across the region and moved two carrier battle groups to the eastern Mediterranean and Arabian Gulf.
Unfortunately, however, as with aiding Israel (the “little Satan” to Tehran’s mullahs), the White House is already underperforming in effectively protecting Americans (citizens of the “Great Satan”).
Biden’s rhetoric about preventing attacks on our people, regionally and worldwide, directly conflicts with what is really his highest Middle East priority: avoiding escalation of the Hamas-Israel conflict.
House Officially Allows Rashida Tlaib To Spew Antisemitic Rants
The House late Wednesday rejected an effort to censure Democratic Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, scrapping a Republican attempt to condemn the only Palestinian-American in Congress over her recent rhetoric around the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
A measure to move forward with a censure resolution of Tlaib, a punishment one step below expulsion from the House, was dismissed with broad bipartisan support as both parties raised concerns about violating First Amendment rights.
A Democratic effort to in turn censure Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who had sponsored the Tlaib resolution, was called off in response.
The scheduled votes were among the House’s first acts of business after a nearly monthlong gridlock caused by the removal of Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California as speaker.
