Watch Terrorists attempt to escape by ambulance into Jenin hospital, are arrested by IDF forces.
The Kfir Brigade, as well as undercover units and Border Police officers, on Thursday night carried out counterterror operations in Jenin.
During the operation, five terrorists were eliminated and eight wanted suspects were arrested.
The forces also discovered explosives placed in the ground by terrorists, including beneath roads.
No IDF forces were injured.
Arab reports say that one of the eliminated terrorists is Baha al-Lahlouh, one of the leaders of the Islamic Jihad terror group's Jenin branch.
During the operation, some of the suspects attempted to escape into Jenin's hospital by ambulance. The forces surrounded the hospital and conducted searches, during which the terrorists were arrested.
Since the start of the war in Gaza, the IDF has conducted six widescale operations in Jenin to thwart terror activities. During the previous operation, 12 terrorists were eliminated, 20 were arrested, and an underground tunnel shaft containing ready-to-use explosives was destroyed.
With Jews Like Rep. Becca Balint in Congress Who Needs Enemies ..Calls for a Ceasefire
What is needed right now is an immediate break in violence to allow for a true negotiated cease-fire," Balint wrote in an op-ed for VTDigger, a local news site in her home state.
It's a shift from her previous position, when she said in a statement that she supported Israel's "right to defend itself after the unprecedented surprise attack against them" while urging the country to avoid "collective punishment" against Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
But in the op-ed, Balint indicated that she had changed her mind in part due to the suffering of Palestinians in the wake of the October 7 Hamas attack.
"I do not claim to know how to solve every aspect of this decades-long conflict," wrote Balint. "But what I do know is that killing civilians, and killing children, is an abomination and categorically unacceptable — no matter who the civilians are, and no matter who the children are."
Balint, a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, had faced pressure from progressives to urge for a ceasefire. And the topic remains controversial within the Democratic Party.
On Wednesday, two dozen progressive lawmakers led by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York urged President Joe Biden to support a ceasefire.
Opponents of a ceasefire, including many Jewish Democrats, have argued that doing so would only allow Hamas to regain strength and attack Israel again in the future.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, another progressive Jewish lawmaker from Vermont, has resisted calling for a ceasefire, though he has argued that Israel is violating international law.
In her op-ed, Balint acknowledged those critics' concerns about a ceasefire, writing that a "lasting" ceasefire "can only work if Hamas does not continue to rule in Gaza."
But she also said that the continued existence of Hamas does not justify current Israeli actions, which have led to the deaths of thousands of Palestinians in the last several weeks.
"Even with Hamas operations intentionally embedded among civilians, Israel cannot bomb targets in densely populated areas," wrote Balint. "The United States must demand it."
Video shows the moment Antony Blinken winces after Biden calls China's Xi a dictator, upending months of careful diplomacy
REPORTER: "Would you still refer to President Xi as a dictator?"

BIDEN: "Look, he is. He's a dictator in the sense that he's a guy who runs a country that is a communist country that's based on a form of government totally different than ours," pic.twitter.com/XSaoyUwMW5
A video has captured the moment US Secretary of State Antony Blinken winces after President Biden calls Chinese leader Xi Jinping a "dictator".
During a press conference in the wake of a meeting designed to smooth frayed US-China relations, Biden was asked whether he stood by remarks in June in which he described Xi as a "dictator."
"Look, he is. He's a dictator in the sense that he's a guy who runs a country that is a communist country that's based on a form of government totally different than ours," Biden said.
How the Agudah & the Moetzes Have Lost Touch With Their Followers
The following anonymous letter has been circulating:
Dear Agudas Yisroel of America.
I write to you as someone who considers himself an “Agudah Yid” even if I may be a few years behind in my membership dues! I grew up in a household where the Agudah and the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah reigned supreme. But it seems to be that we have reached a crossroads and that Agudah needs to make a decision. Fast.
It is no secret that Ultra Orthodoxy today is divided into several groups.
There are the Chassidim. Many major groups of Chassidim were anti Agudah from the start and the ones who weren’t don’t seem to be too eager to join right now. They are largely insular and prefer the leadership of their own rebbes. No rebbe of a major chassidus is part of Agudah. And so Agudah does not represent them nor should they attempt to.
There is “Lakewood” and the people under their influence. (Full disclosure, I live in Lakewood) The Lakewood yeshiva community is a right-leaning community. This means practically that the Lakewood Roshei Yeshiva and Rabbanim will sign bans against 24/6 (and Megillas Lester), will take strong positions against all new technology, always rule stringently in areas of women’s modesty, and – well, you get my point. Similar to the Chassidim, they are insular and do not have much interest in the outside world. To date, there is no major support, respect, or interest in Agudah from the Lakewood yeshiva community.
Then there are the others. These are the Ultra-Orthodox Jews from Brooklyn to Passaic to Monsey and from the tens of smaller communities across the country. They have a bona-fide yeshiva education but also look outward. They may have gone to college, or they may not have, but they certainly see value in a broader education and worldview. They also see themselves as part of a larger Jewish world, at home and abroad. They do not “support” the non-religious, but they are pained by the fact that so many Jews do not live a life of Torah. It seems to me that this is Agudas Yisroel’s constituency. To be fair, I think this was the dominant (non-Chassidic) view of Ultra Orthodoxy in American since World War 2, and it is the Lakewood Yeshiva crowd that has slowly moved in a new direction.
You may not want that or like that, but those are the facts. The core followers of the Agudah are the non-Chassidish, non-Lakewood communities.
Hamas terrorist who paraded Shani Louk's body in Gaza has been killed, says her mother
Hamas terrorist who paraded a German festivalgoer’s body through Gaza has been killed, the victim’s mother has said.
Shani Louk, a 22-year-old Israeli-German dual citizen, was murdered by Hamas at the Nova music festival in southern Israel on Oct 7.
For weeks Louk’s family had been led to believe the tattoo artist, identified by her distinctive body art and dreadlocked hair, was alive but in a hospital in Gaza.
But Israeli officials later revealed she was killed in the Hamas attack after a fragment of her skull was found and identified.
“She was a very happy, lively person,” her mother said in an interview with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, broadcast on Facebook.
“She liked music and dancing and living and she was really enjoying it until the last moment.”
The shameful nods to antisemitism from Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson
Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson know exactly what they’re doing.
Over the past month, anti-Semites of all stripes — emboldened by Hamas’ barbaric attack on Israeli civilians — have made their presence among us known.
They’ve celebrated Hamas’ atrocities and committed their own, fantasizing about the destruction of Israel, tearing down posters of abducted children and harassing their Jewish neighbors.
Much of the overtly antisemitic rhetoric and action across the West has been situated on the left, and conservatives have rightly pointed out as much, chalking up the deluge of hatred and wickedness on display to fallacious progressive theory.
But there is a cohort on the right complicit in this great reawakening of an ancient evil.
And that brings us back to Owens and Carlson.
The past few weeks have seen Owens repeat a series of blood libels.
TikTokers are fawning over Osama bin Laden
You can’t make this stuff up.
Massive TikTok influencers are racking up millions of views on videos openly praising the writings of 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden, calling them “mind-blowing” and “eye-opening.”
“I need everyone to stop what they’re doing right now and go read — it’s literally two pages. Go read ‘A Letter to America,’” Lynette Adkins said in one viral TikTok. “And please come back here and just let me know what you think because I feel like I’m going through, like, an existential crisis right now, and a lot of people are.”
If all these TikTokers were doing was encouraging people to skeptically read bin Laden’s infamous “Letter to America,” which explained his supposed justifications for the 9/11 attacks, that wouldn’t be so objectionable.
Americans should read the letter.
But they should read it critically and see it for the (deeply antisemitic and conspiratorial) morally bankrupt apologia for barbarism it is.
More than 100 Harvard professors slam university president for bowing to donor ‘pressure’ and condemning antisemitism
More than 100 Harvard professors have sent a letter to university president Claudine Gay, condemning her for issuing a statement opposing antisemitism on campus — claiming she was bowing to the interests of wealthy donors and alumni, and was infringing on the free speech of students.
“As Harvard faculty, we have been astonished by the pressure from donors, alumni and even some on this campus to silence faculty, students and staff critical of the actions of the State of Israel,” the open letter reads.
Pro-Palestinian activist group shared a frightening map of New York City landmarks on social media.
A pro-Palestinian activist group shared a frightening map of New York City newsrooms, businesses and landmark buildings — and called for “direct action” to “globalize intifada.”
In addition to news buildings, Within Our Lifetime, which describes itself as a Palestinian-led community organization, also called for followers to target the offices of technology companies
“Each of the locations on this map reflects the location of an office of an enemy of both the Palestinian people and colonized people all over the world. Today and beyond, these locations will be sites for popular mobilization in defense of our people,” the sickening Wednesday night post read.
“May this map serve as a call for every struggle to act in their own interest. As we do so, we uplift one another’s struggles and free Palestine from the river to the sea,” it continued, repeating the Palestine Liberation Organization mantra adopted by Hamas that calls for the eradication of Israel.
The controversial post has since been deleted.
The group, which boasts 121,000 followers on Instagram, did not specify why the locations should be targeted, or what kind of action should be taken, but New York lawmakers have denounced the map, insisting violence is implied. Intifada is Arabic for a rebellion or uprising.
Democratic Bronx Rep. Ritchie Torres warned on X Thursday that the messaging was an example of “Coded calls for violence against Jews” … ” that are “proliferating on social media.”
Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine, also a Democrat, wrote that it was “dangerous and reprehensible.”
“This is clear incitement against a group of predominantly Jewish institutions, based on the trope that they are ‘enemies’ of ‘colonized people all over the world.'”
In a statement to The Post Thursday, Levine added: “I reject this hateful language and am grateful that the NYPD is taking this threat seriously.”
Councilman Keith Powers, who represents Manhattan Midtown — home to several landmarks on the group’s list — wrote on X that the list was an “unacceptable invitation to senseless violence.
“I strongly condemn it & have reached out to the local NYPD,” the Democrat wrote.
Rabbi Joseph Potasnik, the executive vice president of the NY Board of Rabbis described the map as “a message that glorifies physical attacks against Jews.
“Intifadas are targeted attacks on Jews,” he told The Post. “The hatred of the heart leads to hatred of the hands.”
An NYPD spokesperson confirmed that the department was aware of the disturbing map.

The Ramapo Police Department has made significant progress in a hate crime case involving the desecration of an Israeli flag. The flag, which had been proudly displayed on the exterior wall of the Town of Ramapo building on Route 59, was found to be missing on November 13, 2023.
Upon investigation, the Ramapo Police discovered that the flag had been forcefully removed and damaged by a group of Netura Karta psychos who then fled the scene with the flag. The department’s detectives Investigations Division quickly identified and arrested two members of the radical Netura Karta group responsible for this act.

The department also reminds the public that these charges are merely accusations, and both defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty. The case has garnered considerable attention in the community, highlighting the ongoing challenges of hate crimes and the need for vigilance and unity against such acts.

Satmar "Der Yid" Follows Hamas False Narrative and Report that "There is little evidence that Hamas Used Shifa Hospital for Terrorism"
In the above article the Romanian peasants who call themselves "Satmar" mock in Yiddish, gleefully reporting that the "IDF could only show a handful of weapons and proves nothing."
How sick and perverted are these so called "Chesed" people? While Jewish blood is pouring on the streets, Satmar's Der Goy are mocking and happily suggesting that the IDF doesn't know what they are doing!
The Biden White House has confirmed that Hamas used the hospital for terrorism, but Satmar following the Hamas and leftist narrative mocks and denies this evidence!
This just in: While I was typing these words, I24 News just reported that the IDF found laptops in the hospital with valuable information including videos of the hostages.
As the soldiers entered the hospital complex, they engaged with a number of terrorists and killed them. Following this, during searches in one of the departments of the hospital, the troops located a room with technological assets, along with military and combat equipment used by the Hamas terrorist organization.
In another department in the hospital, the soldiers located an operational command center and technological assets belonging to Hamas, indicating that the terrorist organization uses the hospital for terrorist purposes.
The technological assets and extensive intelligence information were transferred for full review by the relevant authorities.
The IDF says it is continuing to operate in the hospital complex while extracting intelligence information and preventing harm to the medical teams and civilians sheltering there.

CNN on Wednesday published exclusive footage showing the early moments from Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel.
The footage, provided to CNN by the IDF, comes from the bodycam of one of the terrorists who took part in the massacre.
The IDF said it released the video to show the reality of what happened on October 7, and it marks the first time that Israel has publicly released footage of Hamas tunnels in Gaza it says were being used on the day of the attack.
Freed Captive Ori Magidish’s Uncle Is Now Shomer Shabbos
After IDF soldier Ori Magidish was rescued from captivity in Gaza, there were many reports of the spiritual efforts her family had made for her release, including tefillos, bringing a Sefer Torah into her room, and a bracha from a tzaddik.
There was another spiritual effort that recently has been gaining a lot attention in Israel – the promise of her uncle, Morris Elul, to be Shomer Shabbos if Ori comes home safe and sound.

LOW-LIFE Hypocrite Shumer After Speaking at March for Israel Votes Against Bill to Support Israel
At the March For Israel, Schumer took center stage, proudly declaring himself as the “highest ranking elected Jewish official in American history.” With the fervor of a passionate advocate, he proclaimed, “We will not rest until Israel gets all the assistance they need! We stand with Israel!” These words undoubtedly resonated with the crowd, evoking a sense of solidarity and commitment to supporting the nation of Israel.
However, the stark contradiction emerged when Schumer returned to his office on the very same day and cast a vote against providing assistance to Israel. This apparent discrepancy between his public statements and legislative actions has left many scratching their heads and questioning the authenticity of Schumer’s commitment to supporting Israel.

Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin Slam Randi Weingarten For Mocking White House Minyan
On Tuesday in front of the White House, prior to the massive rally, there was a beautiful scene, when a huge crowd of Jews davened Shacharis, led by singer Beri Weber. Conservative talk host Mark Levin tweeted the video, and in response, Randi Weingarten, the Jewish President of the American Federation of Teachers, mockingly and despicably replied: ‘Where are the women?’
Weingarten got heavy backlash from Orthodox Jews for her ignorance and intolerance.
Ben Shapiro Slams Candace Owens: ‘By all means quit’
The feud between Ben Shapiro, a frum Jew, and Candace Owens, who more than occasionally tows (and perhaps crosses) the antisemitic line, has escalated to a new level.
Shapiro, co-founder of the Daily Wire which employs Owens, replied to a tweet from Owens on Wednesday imploring her to “by all means quit” if she feels her work at the site “comes between” her and G-d — as Owens’ tweet seemed to suggest.
That was the tame part. Then Owens quickly shot back, “You have been acting unprofessional and emotionally unhinged for weeks now.”
She added: “You have been acting unprofessional and emotionally unhinged for weeks now. And we have all had to sit back and allow it and have all tried to exercise exceeding understanding for your raw emotion. But you cross a certain line when you come for scripture and read yourself into it,” she added, concluding, “I will not tolerate it.”
This is the latest round between the two popular conservative podcast hosts. On Tuesday, a clip surfaced of Shapiro calling Owen’s comments “disgraceful.”
CANDACE, IF YOU FEEL THAT TAKING MONEY FROM THE DAILY WIRE SOMEHOW COMES BETWEEN YOU AND GOD, BY ALL MEANS QUIT. HTTPS://T.CO/QACHKHAUHO— BEN SHAPIRO (@BENSHAPIRO) NOVEMBER 15, 2023
Shapiro responds to a question about her and says, “I think that her faux sophistication on these particular issues has been ridiculous.” He went on to call her commentary on Israel, which was riddled with errors, “disreputable.”
Owens posted a message to Twitter in reply, quoting the New Testament, implying that if she promoted the viewpoints of Daily Wire (specifically regarding the Jews and Israel), she would be betraying her morality.
Shapiro replied to that tweet, “Candace, if you feel that taking money from The Daily Wire somehow comes between you and G-d, by all means quit.”

'BBC' interviews Hamas leader but Kidnapped Israeli Baby Keeps Crying Disturbing the Interview
A skit by Israeli satirical television show Eretz Nehederet, described by many as the "Israeli Saturday Night Live," has gone viral for a third week in a row. In the skit, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar gives an exclusive interview on BBC. He talks about the ceasefire that Hamas is trying to reach because “all civilians are running out of town, and Hamas is left without protection.” Hamas is tired, they need a break, “especially as a hostage baby is keeping them awake at night.”
The episode ends with a “moment in history,” reminding viewers that “in 1944 heartless Winston Churchill refused a ceasefire and continued the genocidal attack on Nazi Germany …”
This is the third week in a row that the program has featured a skit in English. Two weeks ago, the program mocked the British broadcaster, running a sketch of a newscast in which the anchor and reporter accused Israel of bombing a Gaza hospital, then ultimately expressed disappointment that the hospital was hit by a Hamas rocket and that Hamas admitted it.
The simple hack for keeping avocados fresh longer as grocery prices increase

Yes, they’re delicious, but nursing them until they’re at the perfect level of ripeness is a delicate dance.
And with fruit and veggie prices on the rise, we really can’t afford to be chucking those bad boys in the bin a few days after buying them.
Thankfully, a woman has shared a simple hack that’ll make your avos last longer and reduce food waste in the process.
Hot tip: With avocados at their peak at the moment, why not stock up and try this out?
You and your avocado-toast habit will thank us later.

Unbelievable: Biden admin renews sanctions waiver giving Iran access to $10 billion from Iraq
The Biden administration has extended a sanctions waiver that will grant Iran access to roughly $10 billion from Iraq in exchange for electricity purchases.
The 120-day waiver, signed by Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday, is identical to one issued in July, but comes amid increased attacks against US forces by Iranian proxies and just over a month after Iran-backed terror group Hamas slaughtered 1,200 people in Israel on Oct. 7.
Under the conditions of the waiver, Iran will receive nearly $10 billion being held in escrow accounts in Iraq that may only be used for humanitarian trade, US officials told the Associated Press.

Hired Bus Drivers Refuse To Transport Jews To Pro-Israel Washington Rally Leaving 900 Stranded
The crowd at Tuesday’s pro-Israel rally was estimated at 290,000, making it the largest-ever pro-Israel rally in the world. But at least 900 Jews who arrived in Washington on chartered flights didn’t make it to the rally, after the drivers hired to bus them from the airport to the National Mall maliciously called out sick so as not to have to bring them to a pro-Israel rally.
The travelers were unable to enter the airport terminal, as they had not gone through TSA security. This left them without transportation and without anywhere at all to go, other than sitting and waiting on the tarmac – for hours.
Their plight was mentioned during the rally.
“There are also 900 participants from the Detroit Federation who arrived at Dulles airport a few hours ago, whose bus drivers refused to take them to a pro-Israel event,” William Daroff, the CEO of the Conference of Presidents told the massive crowd.
Ultimately, other than a few outliers, the massive crowd of Detroit Jews who were discriminated against by clearly antisemitic bus drivers never made it to the airport. Having waited on the tarmac for hours, they were forced to re-board the plane and fly back to Detroit.
