BREAKING....Thread 9...Israel At War...OPERATION SWORDS OF IRON

[GtHawk]

Yep.

But it is a stark reminder of what Hamas is, and the threat it poses.

You would think Israelis would be outraged at Hamas, not their own government.

you would think after Hitler they would never as a people allow it to happen again, yet here we see a segment of their population that believes trying to appease these new Nazis will somehow stop them.

Hamas Filmed Six Hostages Before Executions; One Clip Released by Family

Hamas terrorists filmed the six Israeli hostages before executing them last week — a gruesome reminder of the tactics of psychological warfare once used by ISIS.

The Jerusalem Post reported:

    Hamas has released a video on Telegram on Monday showing the six recently slain hostages speaking into a camera, while also announcing that it will release their “last message to the world” before they were killed.

    In the video, all six hostages whose bodies were found by the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] on Sunday are seen confirming their identities before cutting to a still frame threatening to release their “last messages.”

    The video ends with a threat to release the message in the coming hours.

As Breitbart News noted, the six hostages were murdered in cold blood before they could be rescued by Israeli soldiers. They included American-Israeli hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Carmel Gat, Eden Yerushalmi, Alexander Lobanov, Almog Sarusi, and IDF Master Sergeant Ori Danino. All six were executed by being shot in the head.

The family of one hostage, Eden Yerushalmi, approved the release of a portion of the video in which she talks about how she loves her family.

And after another attack by Hamas these same people will be out protesting, saying Why didn't you protect us?

Why are they not protesting Hamas, who did this?

How do you say, "Look for the union label," in Hebrew.

IDF: Terrorist Who Murdered Israeli Father in Front of Children Has Been Killed

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced Tuesday that it had killed a Hamas terrorist who murdered an Israeli father in front of his children in one of the most notorious and sadistic scenes of the October 7 terrorist attack.

Ian Hanchett 3 Sep 2024

On Monday’s broadcast of “CNN Newsroom,” House Foreign Affairs Committee Ranking Member Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) said that President Joe Biden “is starting to say that he’s going to reveal some of those other things and who he believes is at fault or preventing a ceasefire here” and “Hamas may have some responsibility and Netanyahu has some responsibility.”

Meeks said, “I know that the President has been having some tough languages and tough words with the prime minister, behind the scenes, for a while, and things that have not been necessarily reported and some that are still classified, but there has to be continued pressure. And we heard Secretary Blinken say, recently, that, if something didn’t happen soon, he and the President will start talking about who is at fault, on both sides, whether Hamas, or in this case, the prime minister. So, I think that what you hear is the President’s frustration coming out, and, as opposed to having some of those negotiations and those talks that were taking place behind the scenes, it seems to me that the President is starting to say that he’s going to reveal some of those other things and who he believes is at fault or preventing a ceasefire here, whether it — on both sides, Hamas may have some responsibility and Netanyahu has some responsibility.”

Meeks added that we must ensure that “Hamas does not continue the threat that it poses to the American people and to the Israelis, as well as to the Palestinians, and Hamas cannot govern in Gaza. So, that’s all part of these negotiations that [are] taking place.”

He concluded, “I think that we’re getting close to the point where the President will be able to discuss, more openly, exactly where we are and who is withholding an agreement, whichever side that is. So, I can’t say more than that, based upon how I was briefed on this, but I think that we need to get all that information out.”

Bereaved father of hostage to Netanyahu: ‘My son was murdered in a tunnel you built’
Times of Israel, Sep 9, 2024

Recordings released on Monday reveal a tense and angry conversation between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Rabbi Elhanan Danino, the father of hostage Ori Danino, who was murdered in captivity and his body returned to Israel last week.

[...]

In the conversation with Netanyahu, Ori’s father said that, while he could not speak to the possibility or likelihood of a ceasefire deal, “everything happened on your watch. My son was murdered in a tunnel that you built on your watch.”

"Forgive me, forgive me, but you’ve been in power for many years,” Danino said. “The concrete and the dollars went into [Gaza] on your watch,” he added, a reference to suitcases of cash that Israel allowed for years to enter Gaza from Qatar, and to the construction materials that were used to build hundreds of kilometers of tunnels, which were allowed to enter the Strip.

Danino accused Netanyahu of “sitting quietly for 15 years and not doing anything,” since Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip, which the prime minister quietly denied.

“You equipped them with swords!” he said, which Netanyahu also denied.

You equipped them with tunnels and dollars — you didn’t do anything!” Danino added.

The prime minister replied: “Elhanan, I could respond to you, but it’s better that I don’t.”

Sara Netanyahu, who accompanied her husband on the visit, attempted to defend him, saying that he was “very alone” in security consultations, to which the prime minister added, “Alone, against the whole world, against the president of the United States.” To that, Sara added, “and against the IDF officials here,” apparently claiming that the prime minister had clashed with security chiefs in Israel over the conduct of the war.

I really wish they'd quit blaming the wrong people, here. What Hamas did, Hamas did. No one else. Those resources could have been spent making Gaza a paradise, instead of a war zone.

[PeteS in CA]

In the real world Hamas has for decades been building their tunnels using building materials the US and other sucker-countries sent to rebuild areas of Gaza damaged in past Israeli retaliations for rocketings.

In the real world Hamas has for decades been building their tunnels using building materials the US and other sucker-countries sent to rebuild areas of Gaza damaged in past Israeli retaliations for rocketings.

Exactly. It wasn't just Israel sending funds. These people have had ample time and funds (supplied by many counties) to build a thriving country.

I was hopeful during this event that the average population would rise up and oust Hamas. Looks like I'm  just a naive fool.

"I was hopeful during this event that the average population would rise up and oust hamas."

(sigh)
In gaza, the "average population" IS hamas...

IDF Killed Hamas Terrorists. At Least 3 Jihadis Were UN Employees.

https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2024/09/12/idf-killed-hamas-terrorists-some-were-un-employees-n4932466

The United Nations frenziedly condemned a new Israel Defense Forces (IDF) strike as one of Israel’s “dramatic violations of international humanitarian law.” The problem is that the UN workers killed were also Hamas terrorists.

The UN and many other organizations and governments love to emphasize that the IDF strikes schools and “aid workers.” What they are not telling you is that Hamas jihadis have long used schools and other “civilian” buildings in Gaza as terrorist bases and that the “aid workers” almost always turn out to be active terrorists. That appears to be the case once again with the IDF strike this week, where at least three UNRWA “workers” killed were Hamas jihadis.

UNRWA is absolutely infested with Hamas operatives, according to international human rights lawyer Hillel Neuer. As JihadWatch has noted, terrorists specifically place military targets in humanitarian zones so that, if IDF strikes, they can immediately condemn Israel. So whenever the UN starts wailing that the IDF causelessly killed their humanitarian workers while they were operating a school or shelter, always fact-check that claim. It will almost certainly turn out to be false.

According to the state of Israel, which is a more reliable source on these topics than is the Hamas-loving UN, so far the confirmed casualties in the precision strike are terrorists — including at least three UNRWA “workers.”

The Arab Palis in Gaza do not have an official military. That means every resident in Gaza is a "civilian" and every building in Gaza is a "civilian" building/facility. The Hamas thug firing an AK and launching rockets is a civilian. Ditto any/every building from which Hamas thug fired and launched the thug's weapons.

I support UNExit - the US from the UN and the UN from the US.

Netanyahu Vows to ‘Exact Heavy Price’ From Houthi Terrorists After Missile Reaches Central Israel

Legal Insurrection by Vijeta Uniyal 9/15/2024

Netanyahu: “Anyone who attacks us will not escape,”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to “exact a heavy price” from Iran-backed Houthis after the Yemen-based terrorist group fired a missile at central Israel.

Air sirens were sounded across Israel on early morning Sunday when a ballistic missile entered the country’s airspace. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in a press release identified the projectile as “a surface-to-surface missile” fired “from Yemen toward Israeli territory.”

The missile fell apart as Israel’s Arrow and Iron Dome aerial defence systems tried to intercept it. The Houthi “missile most likely fragmented in mid-air,” the IDF said.

Parts of the missile fell a few miles south-east of Ben Gurion airport, outside Tel Aviv. The falling debris landed in “an open area near Ben-Shemen, some six kilometers from Ben-Gurion Airport,” the Jerusalem Post noted. Some shrapnel from the missile fell on homes and buildings in central Israel, social media posts suggest. No casualties were reported.

The Israeli news website YNET reported the attempted Houthi missile strike:

    According to the military, the missile broke apart in midflight, and the aerial defenses intercepted parts of it. “Several interception attempts were made by the Arrow and Iron Dome Aerial Defense Systems, and their results are under review,” the IDF said adding that in one area near a train station in central Israel, fallen fragments of the interceptors caused a fire.

WOW.

Apparently the trigger included a message in Arabic plus a delay to let the recipient look at the pager before BOOM! Besides the obvious intended head injury, with a standing targeted Hez leader this would raise the pager above young children and pets. Metaphorically and literally, Operation Grim Beeper partially decapitated Hez.

I wonder if the Stalkie-Walkies were designed to blow when enabled and keyed to speak.
