Gaza infiltrators found hiding out in Jerusalem hospital

 



Police in Jerusalem arrested 11 Palestinians from the Gaza Strip on suspicion of illegally residing in the Jewish state, the Israel Police said on Thursday.

One of the detained Palestinians is the sister of a Hamas terrorist operative, the statement added.

The arrests were carried out during a raid of the Al-Makassed Hospital on the Mount of Olives, the largest of six Arab hospitals in Israel’s capital.

According to the police, the suspects had been staying in the hospital for weeks without being admitted as patients. The deputy director of the hospital has been summoned for questioning.


Israel Warns Citizens, Jews Worldwide: Hide Jewish Identity, Don’t Travel Unless Essential

 


For the first time in living memory, the State of Israel has issued a stark warning to Israelis — and by extension to Jews around the world: hide your Jewish identity and don’t travel unless it’s absolutely necessary.

The warning was delivered just before the start of the Sabbath late Friday afternoon by Israeli government spokesperson Eylon Levy.

“Globally I want to address this moment of peril for the Jewish People worldwide as we witness a disturbing spike in antisemitic hate speech and even instances of violence against Jews and Israelis following the October 7 massacre,” Levy said.

“Today, the National Security Council and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs put out an unusual global travel warning.

“We are calling on all citizens of Israel to exercise heightened caution when traveling ANYWHERE abroad.

“We know that Jewish communities and their institutions, Israel diplomatic missions and airports handling flights to and from Israel are key targets for antisemites and violent antisemites,” Levy said.

“The National Security Council is urging all Israelis to consider whether ANY foreign travel, ANYWHERE in the world, is necessary at this dangerous moment.

“Citizens planning to travel to countries with specific travel warnings are asked to postpone their visits, and we emphasize Arab and Middle Eastern states, the Northern Caucasus, and countries bordering Iran.

“We are also asking citizens — and truly I cannot believe that we are doing this — we are asking all citizens to avoid displaying any outward signs of their Israeli or Jewish identity when traveling anywhere in the world. If you must travel, please make sure that you have the numbers of emergency services and the local Israeli embassies on speed dial.

“Keep away from the anti-Israel pro-jihad protests and remain alert and vigilant about your surroundings at all times.”

Hamas terrorists attack IDF troops who operated to open the Salah Al-Din humanitarian route for the evacuation of residents southwards

 


The IDF Arabic spokesperson on Saturday announced that between 1:00p.m.-4:00p.m., the Salah Al-Din route in Gaza will be available as a humanitarian route for residents of northern Gaza who had not yet moved southwards to evacuate for their own safety.

The Hamas terrorist organization exploited the humanitarian window that the IDF provided to residents of Gaza to allow them to move southwards: During the humanitarian window, the terrorists fired mortars and anti-tank missiles at IDF troops who arrived and operated to open the route.

No IDF injuries were reported.

"This incident further proves that Hamas exploits the Gazan population and prevents them from acting in the interest of their own safety," the IDF said in a statement.

DF strikes Hamas terrorists who operated from an ambulance

 

The IDF on Friday neutralized Hamas terrorists who were operating from an ambulance in Gaza.

“A Hamas terrorist cell was identified using an ambulance. In response, an IDF aircraft struck and neutralized the Hamas terrorists, who were operating within the ambulance,” the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said in a statement.

“We emphasize that this area in Gaza is a war zone. Civilians are repeatedly called upon to evacuate southward for their own safety,” it added.

Earlier, the Gaza “health ministry”, which is run by Hamas, claimed that dozens of Palestinian Arabs were killed in what was described as an “Israeli attack” on a convoy of ambulances carrying wounded people in Gaza.

The IDF has provided evidence that Hamas terrorists use hospital as their operational centers.

Last week, the IDF revealed a great deal of information proving that the headquarters of Hamas’ activity in the Gaza Strip is Shifa Hospital, the central and largest hospital in the Gaza Strip, located in the heart of Gaza City.

The Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) later released footage from the interrogation of two terrorists who confirmed the hospital is being used for Hamas activity.

The IDF’s commitment to protecting its personnel and ensuring their well-being remains resolute as the conflict continues.

Hysterical!!!! Faced with rise in Jewish hate in the USA Biden Appoints Kamala Harris To Tackle ‘Islamphobia’

 



If you aren’t Jewish then imagine for a moment that you are. And the fact that your people had just suffered the worst mass-murder since the Holocaust.

All committed by people shouting the most Nazi-like slogans.

Imagine all that had only just happened.

And then imagine what it must have been like to have gone through these past few weeks. To have seen crowds in American cities not even draw breath before turning out on the streets to celebrate the killings.

Imagine, what´s more, that instead of a great wave of sympathy and support, in city after city and campus after campus it seemed like the country was turning on the Jews.

Instead of even giving them time to breathe and bury the dead, sick people everywhere suddenly crept out and openly celebrated the killing.

But there is a worse turn.

IDF forces have completely surrounded Gaza City

 

IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari stated that despite reports that the Biden administration is attempting to push for a short-term ceasefire in Gaza, Israel is not considering such a ceasefire at all.

"The idea of a ceasefire is not on the table at all right now. The IDF is at war and is conducting this war to dismantle Hamas. We will speak through actions and not through words," Hagari said.

He noted that the IDF had completed the encirclement of Gaza City. 

"In the past few hours, armored corps and infantry troops, with the assistance of the IAF are striking outposts, command and control centers, rocket launch sites, and other terror infrastructure used by the Hamas leadership and its terrorists. Combat engineering troops are detecting infrastructure, threats, IEDs, and demolishing and neutralizing them to enable the ground forces to maneuver more freely in the area."

“IDF troops completed the encirclement of Gaza City, which is the focal point of the Hamas terror organization.," Hagari said

Iranian Jews forced to cut ties with relatives in Israel

 


The UK-based Persian language television channel Iran International reported on Wednesday that after the war began between Israel and Hamas, the Iranian regime threatened the Jewish communities in the country.

Jews of Iranian origin in Israel are reporting that their relatives in Iran have left family Whatsapp groups and are even blocking the numbers of all their Israeli contacts.

Since the start of the war, concern in the Jewish community of Iran, which numbers several tens of thousands of members, has spiked.

The report adds that the local Jewish community organized pro-Gaza demonstrations in Teheran, the capital, and in the city of Esfahan. The demonstrations were held under the headline: "Judaism has no connection with Zionism."

During the demonstrations, the demonstrators even waved banners in Hebrew condemning "Israel's crimes against the Palestinian people."


US flying drones over Gaza in search of hostages

 


The United States has been flying surveillance drones over Gaza in search of hostages taken by Hamas when it attacked Israel on October 7, two US officials said on Thursday, according to the Reuters news agency.

The two US officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the US was flying intelligence gathering drones over Gaza to assist with hostage location efforts. One of the officials said they had been carrying out the drone flights for over a week.

US officials have said 10 Americans who remain unaccounted for may be among the more than 200 people taken as hostages into Gaza.

Two hostages with US citizenship, Judith and Natalie Raanan, were freed by Hamas two weeks ago.

US President Joe Biden on Wednesday called for a “pause” in the fighting in the Gaza Strip in order to allow time to free hostages being held by Hamas, though he stopped short of calling for a full ceasefire.

IDF Spokesman Daniel Hagari said on Thursday that Israeli troops had encircled Gaza City, which has become the focus of attack for Israel.
