IDF discovers Hamas underground weapons manufacturing facility in central Gaza

 

The IDF has released video showing Israeli troops uncovering a Hamas underground weapons-manufacturing facility in central Gaza located beneath the local civilian population.

The terrorist-operated facility contained workshops and hundreds of supplies for producing rockets, shells and grenades before it was destroyed by engineering troops, the IDF says.  It was situated near the area of Zeitoun.

The IDF says the facility also had diving equipment intended for Hamas to infiltrate Israeli territory by sea.

Video released by the IDF shows troops navigating a long tunnel that leads to the facility.  The IDF says the tunnel route contained several long-term living areas equipped with an oven, stove, food supplies, beds and offices used by the terrorists during the war.  [...]

Trump will reverse Biden's Israel delusions and bring an era of Mideast peace

 

On Sunday, Israel reportedly killed Hezbollah terror boss Ali Musa Daqduq in Syria, bringing a measure of justice to the US military's Iraq war veterans.

In 2007, Daqduq and his underlings infiltrated a US base in Karbala, Iraq, killing one soldier and kidnapping — and later brutally executing — four more.  CENTCOM sources on Monday expressed confidence that Daqduq had in fact been slain.

Israeli forces have killed hundreds of terrorists with American blood on their hands since Iran launched its seven-front war against the Jewish state last year.

Yet their achievements have made President Biden and his advisers uncomfortable — because they expose the truth that the Biden team has refused to countenance.

Israel's enemies are America's enemies.  And when Israel defeats its enemies, America wins.  [...]

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.  [...]

Scoop: Israel destroyed active nuclear weapons research facility in Iran, officials say

The Israeli attack on Iran in late October destroyed an active top secret nuclear weapons research facility in Parchin, according to three U.S. officials, one current Israeli official and one former Israeli official.

Seems like quite a bit more than the air defence systems were taken out by the IDF in the raid. This is the FAFO principle on a fairly epic scale. ☠️

Israel Asks Hezbollah To Please Wait By Pagers For Message Announcing Start Of Ceasefire

 

BEIRUT — After announcing that an agreement had been reached for a pause in military operations, Israel asked Hezbollah to please wait by their pagers for a message to confirm what time the ceasefire would begin.

After over a year of open warfare between Israel and Hezbollah, both sides are anxiously anticipating the ceasefire message being delivered to every remaining Hezbollah terrorist.  [...]

One minor inaccuracy in that graphic. In the 1967 Six Day War, Israel most certainly attacked first, striking Egyptian and Syrian airbases and rolling tanks across the Sinai.

 

Although the Arab nations are widely thought to have been preparing an attack, Israel, aware of the military build-up along their borders, decided to get its retaliation in first. ☠️

Is Trump About to Pull off an Iran Hostage Moment?

 

Over the holiday weekend, my husband and I ponied up $5.99 to watch the "Reagan" biopic on Amazon.  It was money well spent, and I highly recommend it.  The movie spanned many decades and briefly touched upon the fact that American hostages in Iran were freed almost the moment Ronald Reagan took the oath of office on January 20, 1981.  [...]

 

At a welcoming ceremony at the White House for the freed hostages, Reagan warned, "Let terrorists be aware that when the rules of international behavior are violated, our policy will be one of swift and effective retribution.  We hear it said that we live in an era of limit to our powers.  Well, let it also be understood, there are limits to our patience."

Is President-elect Donald Trump about to have a similar foreign policy win?  He wrote on Truth Social today:  [...]

This is one of the best-written, most circumspect articles that I've seen on this topic.  It blows the leftists' arguments out of the water.

Disregarding Military Necessity To Accuse Israel of War Crimes

 

[...] While perhaps well versed in human-rights law, many – including the most vocal and influential – who are quick to condemn Israel's use of force as criminal tend to care much less about military necessity and know little about military history and strategy.  In the extreme, they treat humanitarian responsibility as the sole consideration in determining the lawfulness of military action.  Routinely, they issue judgments concerning Israel's armed conflicts that demonstrate unfamiliarity with basic matters – threats, battlefield configurations, combatants' rules of engagement, tactics, weapons, and logistics – on which turn a reasonable determination of military necessity.  [...]

Interesting points here, contrasting current Papal views with historical views.

Pope Francis continues his war on Israel

What most people don't know is that, for around 1,600 years, the papacy, while it hasn't embraced the Jews (obviously), has been the Jews' protector.  The papacy recognized that Jews and Christians are family, bound together by the God of the Old and New Testaments.  More recently, the papacy has recognized that leftism, which seeks to destroy a Biblical world, is the Jews' and Christians' common enemy.  Pope Francis' increasingly openly expressed enmity toward Israel, the world's only Jewish state, marks a profound break with this tradition and speaks to my personal belief that his values are informed more by Marx than by Jesus.  [...]
