Hamas Brings Back Casual Fridays To Draw In New Recruits

 

GAZA — According to the latest LinkedIn statistics, Hamas has recently been having a bit of trouble attracting fresh new recruits.  Their brilliant solution?  Bring back casual Fridays.

Sources within the terrorist organization reveal that they've held a few meetings to discuss company growth and that several managers have come up with some other ideas to attract new fighters who must be ready to become martyrs at a moment's notice.

Some of the exciting new initiatives include the following:  [...]

COWARD:  Hamas Chief's Bunker Loaded With UN Food, Millions in Cash, Weapons and More

 

The one constant in the entire "Islamist terrorist" issue is that their leaders 1) never place themselves in any direct danger, although sometimes danger in the form of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) manages to find them anyway, and 2) they generally live in wealth and luxury while their fighters and the people forced to live in areas they control are in misery.

The latest example?  The recently-unalived Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar, whose bunker was loaded with United Nations rations, millions in cash, weapons, and much more.  [...]

So the aid is getting to Gaza. That will hurt the narrative that Israel is trying to starve the population there. The fact of the matter is that Hamas are diverting the aid away from civilians, thus exacerbating the humanitarian crisis, and the compliant world media are blaming it all on Israel.

 

With sensitive documents on the conflict being purloined from U.S. sources and disseminated by Iran, plus the U.S. ultimatum on aid to Gaza, is it any wonder the Israelis are no longer keeping the U.S. government apprised of their military planning?

Just think of what Gaza could have been had it actually spent all the aid it received on the actual people and infrastructure instead of buying weapons/building tunnels, enriching the few top people some of whom don't even live there, and keeping its populace in abject poverty.

It has been a constant refrain. In 2005, Israel left the Palestinians of Gaza a territory that was clean, had decent infrastructure and great prospects for further development. With the aid money that was flowing in, the Gazans could had prospered.

 

But instead of thriving and building on what was already there, they allowed the radicals’ hatred to fester and grow, tearing down what they had been left solely because of who had left it. They allowed their own people to suffer, to create the false impression that they were being oppressed, and provide the false “justification” for their continuing violence against Israel. And the world media lapped it up.

 

There is no attempt being made to uncover where the aid has been going, no accounting for the billions of dollars spent subsidising the terrorists. Because that would be Islamophobic and might uncover the truth.

 

The international community has conspired against Israel for almost its whole existence. Is it any wonder that the Israelis take no notice of the UN resolutions against them?

Probably could put this in the Biden Tanking Daily Update thread, but seems more relevant here.

 

‘Serious Breach’: Alleged US Intel Docs Outlining Israel’s Plan to Strike Iran Leaked

 

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Leaked U.S. intelligence documents allegedly outline how Israel plans to strike Iran soon, according to multiple reports.

 

Israel is expected to retaliate against Iran after the terrorism-supporting nation launched nearly 200 ballistic missiles into Israeli territory on Oct. 1. Most of those missiles were intercepted. The timing and nature of Israel’s plan to retaliate against Iran have been shrouded in mystery, until now.

 

U.S. intelligence documents that were leaked publicly in recent days revealed Israel’s preparatory actions ahead of the attacks, according to several reports.

Coulda sworn that I'd posted this somewhere a few hours ago, but darned if I can find it.  Gracias for noticing and posting it.

Israeli Strikes Knocked Out All Of Iran's S-300 Air Defense Systems:  Officials

 

Iran is likely still tallying the costs of the Israeli airstrikes launched on Saturday in retaliation for Tehran's massive October 1 missile barrage on Israel.  Among the targets that Israel appears to have gone after are Iran's prized Russian-made S-300 air defense systems, according to U.S. and Israeli officials.  Putting the Iranian S-300s out of action leaves the door open to follow-up strikes by Israel, including larger-scale direct attacks.  As we noted on Saturday, this serves as both a contingent opportunity for the Israel Defense Forces and a deterrent against a response from Iran.

Among the critical Iranian military infrastructure destroyed on Saturday were its three surviving S-300 long-range surface-to-air missile systems.  [...]

now that is an accomplishment.  these are fairly new missiles (although not top of the line)
from wikipedia  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-300_missile_system

Iran received four S-300PMU2 batteries from Russia in 2016, each consisting of a 96L6E target-acquisition radar, a 30N6E2 target-engagement radar, and four 5P85TE2 towed transporter-erector-launchers (TELs)

The S-300PMU-2 Favorit (Russian: С-300ПМУ-2 Фаворит, NATO reporting name SA-20B Gargoyle[11]), introduced in 1997 (presented ready 1996), is an upgrade to the S-300PMU-1 with a range of 195 km (121 mi) with the introduction of the 48N6E2 missile.
This system is apparently capable against not just short-range ballistic missiles, but also medium-range ballistic missiles.

That's Gonna Leave a Mark:  Israeli Air Force Just Stripped Iran Naked

 

[...] let me start by assuring you that the headline to this column is no exaggeration, but stick a pin in that thought so you can take in what the Israeli Air Force (IAF) accomplished.

 

Reports are that somewhere between one-third and one-half of the IAF took to the skies on Friday night — a remarkable feat in itself if you know anything about what it takes to ready and arm a sophisticated warplane — and every single one of them returned home safely.

An open-source intelligence writer who uses the handle Raylan Givens — I've followed and trusted him for a couple of years now — gave the rundown on the operation, "courtesy of IDF Radio and with the approval of the military censor."  [...]

Too Good to Check:  Hezbollah Collapsing As Desertions Skyrocket

 

So much for Iran's encirclement strategy in the Middle East, if these reports turn out to be accurate.  Not only did Iran lose much of its advanced air defenses in the Israeli strike over the weekend, their forward proxy army may collapse soon as its terror troops head for Syria.  Arabic media report mass Hezbollah desertions in the face of a determined IDF ground campaign, and nearly no effective communications between command and field units:  [...]
