One problem with Islam is the "win-win" nature of war and terrorism:  they get a guaranteed ticket to Paradise if they kill infidels and survive, and they get automatic admission to Paradise if they're killed and become martyrs.

 

Given the recent plea deals of the Guantanamo 3, I’m not so sure the promise of Islamic martyrdom is all it’s cracked up to be. ☠️

Maybe some enterprising assassin can help them along while they're being transferred somewhere.

Exclusive:  Israeli Emergency Responder Describes Realities of Israel at War

 

A paramedic who works for Israel's emergency medical response service Magen David Adom described the tragedies and horrors of a nation at war with vicious jihadis.

 

Both the Jewish inhabitants of Israel and its other ethnic and religious groups -- including Muslims and Christians, Bedouins and Druze -- are in constant danger of death amidst the ongoing war triggered by Hamas's heinous Oct. 7 attacks.  Aryeh Myers, who is a paramedic and international relations lead for Magen David Adom (MDA), talked about the  terrorist rocket attack that tragically killed twelve Druze children in northern Israel, and how Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists specifically target civilians and medical response personnel, in an exclusive interview with PJ Media.  [...]

Now We Know Exactly How Israel Assassinated Hamas Chief, and I'm Laughing Inappropriately

 

[...] Wednesday morning it was my happy duty to report on the assassination of Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Iran, the night before.  "My first thought was that a Mossad assassination team had snuck in, done some dirty work that needed doing, and then snuck back out," is what my gut assured me had happened.  But then reports came in that Haniyeh had been killed in a precision airstrike.  But no.

 

"Never trust first reports."  I'm going to write that on a blackboard 100 times later today — and not for the first time, either.  [...]

Clever:  Israel Uses Phone Call to Lure, Delete Hezbollah Leader

 

Israel has long been known to have a great intelligence apparatus; being a small nation surrounded by people who want you dead tends to sharpen your intelligence-gathering skills.  Now we are presented with another example of just how good Israel is at information-gathering, as on July 30th, they used a ruse involving a mysterious phone call to lure a Hezbollah commander out of hiding to a location where he could be (and was) deleted by an airstrike.  [...]

Israel Military Retrieves the Bodies of Six Hostages From Gaza

 

Israeli forces say they've recovered the bodies of six hostages taken on October 7 in what was described as a "complex operation" that they carried out in the tunnels beneath the city of Khan Younis.

 

Five of the six hostages had been identified as deceased by the Israeli government earlier.  They were identified as Yagev Buchshtab, Alexander Dancyg, Avraham Munder, Yoram Metzger, Nadav Popplewell, and Haim Peri.  All but Munder were already known to have lost their lives in captivity.

The cause of their deaths was not immediately known.  Hamas says they were killed in Israeli bombings.

More than 100 captives remain in Hamas custody with at least 30 believed to be dead.  [...]

IDF to Determine If Dead Israeli Hostages They Retrieved Were Executed

 

Almost two weeks ago, the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) was investigating a horrifying claim by Hamas - mind you, it was Hamas' claim - that it had executed and wounded hostages.  [...]

 

THE ISRAELIS MADE US DO IT

Naturally.  Butchering terrorists who were still holding hostages they'd carried off after a murderous incursion would never think to do anything so vile on their own.

The group did say they'd done all this in Gaza.  [...]

Israel Defense Forces, Making Bad Terrorists Into Good Terrorists

 

While cease-fire negotiations go around and around and the endless whining from the pro-Hamas brigades continues, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are just going on about their business of making bad terrorists into good terrorists.  Three reports of such events have been documented Friday morning on the IDF's official X account.

 

First, a Hezbollah cell in Lebanon was identified and deleted by an Israel Air Force airstrike, which showed off the IAF's penchant for precision hits.  [...]

The Hunt for Yahya Sinwar (Is He Wearing Dresses Now?)

 

The hunt for the mastermind of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel, Yahya Sinwar, continues.  Yesterday we learned more about how that has been going, including one close call when it appears the IDF missed Sinwar by days.

 

In the early days of the war Sinwar used cell phones and satellite phones to communicate.  The US and Israel were able to intercept those and listen in to some of his calls, though they were not able to identify his precise location.  More recently, Sinwar has completely stopped using any electronic communications.  All of his communications are now carried by human messengers.  Both the Israeli Shin Bet and the US intel agencies have teams dedicated to finding him.  [...]

 

Over the weekend, the UK Express published a story claiming that he routinely leaves the tunnels under Gaza dressed as a woman.  [...]
