"We know that Lebanese Hezbollah has been in the United States for some time," Wolf said. "We have a threat assessment from the Department of Homeland Security going back to 2020 that says that they could engage in operations with little notice."

So why are they still wasting good air?

Israeli strikes on Gaza have been unprecedently intense for the last few hours as they close in on the Hamas strongholds in Gaza City and get closer to the hospitals which top Hamas leadership use as command and control in the many tunnels in the surrounding area

Former acting DHS secretary Chad Wolf joined Fox News Channel on Sunday to share his thoughts on the Israel-Hamas war that has been raging for nearly a month.

The ex-U.S. official said that his former department had concluded that Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah has a presence in the U.S.

"We know that Lebanese Hezbollah has been in the United States for some time," Wolf said. "We have a threat assessment from the Department of Homeland Security going back to 2020 that says that they could engage in operations with little notice."

Wolf also referenced the crisis at the U.S. southern border as a potential threat to national security.

"Whether you have known, suspected terrorists or you have special interest aliens coming from countries of concern like Iran, like Syria, like Lebanon. All of this leads us to a situation where we're... vulnerable, particularly as that southern border continues to be wide open," he explained.

People may wise up a little when the first RPG is used in the US.  Maybe.

Israel-Hamas war: IDF shares evidence of Hamas terrorists exploiting hospitals


Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari presented evidence of Hamas terrorists exploiting hospitals in Gaza during a briefing on Sunday.

"I will be sharing evidence proving that Hamas systematically exploits hospitals as part of its war machine," Hagari said. "We already heard evidence that Hamas operates command and control centers inside and under Shifa Hospital."

"We decided to declassify and share more sensitive intelligence with you because the world must take immediate action against that information," he added.

The spokesperson also emphasized that the Hamas terrorists use civilians as "human shields" and denounced that practice.

"Among the worst of Hamas war crimes is the use of hospitals to hide the terror infrastructure," he explained. "Unsurprisingly, Hamas built the hospital on top of their terror infrastructures."

True. And the media covering things up. I haven't watched tv coverage (I take a weekend break) but the internet sites aren't even covering the riot at the White House from what I have seen. Nothing like the J6 coverage that was non-stop. In my world, the "protest" against Israel was much more intense.

According to Palestinian Sources, the Massive Israeli Airstrikes earlier on Northern Gaza caused Total Collapses of Buildings and Roadways nearby likely indicating that these Strikes are attempting to Target and Destroy the Hamas Tunnel Networks beneath Gaza City.

Russian Media is claiming that Captain Yair Eido Netanyahu, the Nephew of Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu and a Member of an Elite Sniper Team has been Killed during Combat Operations with the IDF in the Gaza Strip; however there is No Mention of this anywhere in Isreali Media and “Sputnik” provided Zero Evidence of this having occurred.

In addition to that this Photo going around claiming to show Captain Netanyahu is actually Staff Sergeant Yair Nifousy of the Paratrooper's 101st Battalion who Died from Wounds sustained in Gaza on November 2nd.

I take back what i have said
Hamas is not Isis
Hamas is worst than Isis
Hamas is an organization chosen by its supporters, Isis was not!
Who do you call "uninvolved"?!?????
The same "uninvolved" who were happily to participate at the october 7 massacre??
I hear unbelievable voices, buds of mercy???!!
For a humanitarian ceasefire, or something psychic like that!
When our children are in their hands, you have mercy?! Mercy for Hamas supporters???
Mercy for a brother who dreams of being like his older brother who slaughtered and raped Jewish women?!
About a mother who receives a call from her son after he slaughtered 10 Jews and cries with his father out of happiness?!
Who gave birth to these terrorists?!
Who sent them to schools where they teach how to kill Jews?! Who gave each of them the blessing to keep act this way?! Who handed out candies for years after every terrorist attack in which Jews were murdered?!
Who stays in those houses over the tunnels and in the hospitals to protect those Rats in the tunnels along with our abductees??!?
 Who exactly do you feel sorry for???
Sorry for a population that sanctifies death and will not rest until each of us is in the grave?!????!!
That will throw every Israeli into the sea if given the chance?!!?

"Anyone who shows mercy to the cruel ends up being cruel to the merciful"

??? Why?  OR do they want them ALL to come here?

IMO @libertybele  our last best hope is Abbas is given control over Gaza, or they will be flown here.  But, Israel will fight Abbas as another existential threat to their right to exist.

In this case, I hope we fight harder for ours.

Obama urges Americans to 'take in the whole truth' about Israel-Hamas war
By Isabel Keane

Former President Barack Obama urged Americans to "take in the whole truth" about the Israel-Hamas war before cautioning that "all of us are complicit" in the current bloodshed.

“If you want to solve the problem, then you have to take in the whole truth. And you then have to admit nobody’s hands are clean, that all of us are complicit to some degree,” he said in an excerpted portion of an interview with his former staffers for an episode of Pod Save America.

The Democrat argued it was important for his former aides to "take in the whole truth."

“What Hamas did was horrific, and there’s no justification for it,” Obama said. “And what is also true is that the occupation and what’s happening to Palestinians is unbearable.”

This is what our younger generation, for the most part, sincerely believes.  After Israel wins the war, and they will ---- for true security this time the must also win the peace.  They're losing a generation of Americans.

Opening summary

Hello and welcome to the Guardian’s live coverage of the war between Israel and Hamas with me, Helen Livingstone.

Jordan says it has airdropped medical supplies to a Gaza hospital overnight as Israel cut off communications in the territory on Sunday and stepped up its bombardments once again. The Israeli military said it had cut the strip in two late Sunday and Israeli media reported that the army was expected to enter Gaza City within the next 48 hours.

Meanwhile US secretary of state Antony Blinken is in Turkey on Monday, as he continues his lightning round of diplomacy in the Middle East in a bid to contain the conflict and push for humanitarian pauses in the fighting to allow aid into Gaza.

He is due to meet Turkey’s foreign minister, Hakan Fidan, in Ankara a day after hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters tried to storm an air base that houses US troops in southern Turkey.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan himself plans to travel across Turkey’s remote northeast Monday in an apparent snub of Washington’s top diplomat.

In other developments:

Gaza was rocked by a series of huge explosions on Sunday evening and communications with the coastal strip were cut, as violence also escalated on Israel’s northern boundary with Lebanon. The strikes on Gaza came as the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) indicated that its troops were planning to enter Gaza in force perhaps within the next 48 hours, according to reports in Israeli media.

Israel stopped firing in northern Gaza for several hours two days in a row to create safe passage for civilians to move to the south, a military spokesperson told CNN on Sunday, amid pressure for a humanitarian pause. “Yesterday and today, for many hours with prior notice and warning, we facilitated, we stopped firing in certain areas of northern Gaza, which is the main combat area, and we called on Palestinians to move south,” Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus said.

US secretary of state Antony Blinken made a surprise visit to Iraq on Sunday following his earlier trip to the West Bank and a brief stop in Cyprus. Iraq’s prime minister, Mohamed Shia al-Sudani, met the US secretary of state, the premier’s office said, according to Agence France-Presse. It comes as American forces in the region face a surge of attacks by Iranian-allied militias in Iraq and elsewhere. US forces shot down another one-way attack drone on Sunday that was targeting American and coalition troops near their base in neighbouring Syria, a US official said. In the West Bank, neither Blinken nor Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas spoke as they greeted each other in front of cameras and their meeting ended without any public comment.

Blinken met the president of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, on Sunday to discuss a maritime aid corridor from the island to Gaza. Their conversation included “a dedicated, one-way maritime corridor of sustained flow of humanitarian aid from Cyprus to civilians in Gaza”, Cyprus government spokesman Konstantinos Letymbiotis said.

A senior Israeli cabinet minister on Sunday called on Benjamin Netanyahu to retract a comment he was reported to have made about the need to check if a pre-war protest among army reservists pushed Hamas to carry out its attack last month. Israel’s Channel 12 and other news outlets reported that Netanyahu said there may be a need to examine whether months of protests against his government, including by reservists who said they would no longer report for regular duty, added to Hamas’ motivation to carry out the 7 October rampage through southern Israel that triggered the current war. Benny Gantz, who joined Netanyahu’s war cabinet from the opposition as part of an emergency government, said Netanyahu must retract his comment. “Avoiding responsibility and slinging mud at the time of war is a blow to the country,” Gantz wrote on social media platform X.

The leaders of the UN’s major humanitarian agencies as well as international charities have called for an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire” in Gaza, calling the situation “horrific” and “unacceptable” in a rare joint statement. While condemning the Hamas attack of 7 October, the agency head said: “The horrific killings of even more civilians in Gaza is an outrage, as is cutting off 2.2 million Palestinians from food, water, medicine, electricity and fuel.”

In a new interview with CNN, Jordan’s Queen Rania criticised Israel’s evacuation orders to Palestinians living across the Gaza Strip. She said: “The evacuation orders are sent online or on television, knowing that there’s no electricity in Gaza since the beginning of this war … [They], I do not believe, are for the benefit of the Gaza civilians. They are not the target audience, the rest of the world is. It is Israel’s attempt to try to minimise their actions.”

A total of 48 installations belonging to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees have been damaged across Gaza since 7 October. In an update released on Sunday, UNRWA added that nearly 1.5 million people have been displaced across Gaza since the war broke out nearly a month ago.

Hezbollah said it fired multiple grad rockets at the northern Israeli town of Kiryat Shmona on Sunday, in retaliation for an Israeli strike in south Lebanon that it said had killed a woman and three children, Reuters reported. In a statement, the Lebanese militant faction said its attack came in response to Israel’s “heinous and brutal crime”.  Three children and their grandmother were killed in the Israeli strike, a Hezbollah lawmaker from the area said, calling the attack “a dangerous development” that would have repercussions. “The enemy will pay the price for its crimes against civilians,” lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah told Reuters, adding that the children were aged between eight and 15.

The average Palestinian in Gaza is living on only two pieces of bread every day, according to a UN official. Associated Press reports: “The average Palestinian in Gaza is living on two pieces of Arabic bread made from flour the United Nations had stockpiled in the region, yet the main refrain now being heard in the street is ‘Water, water’, the Gaza director for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees said Friday.”

Palestinian telecoms firm Paltel said that Israel has once again cut internet and phone lines across Gaza on Sunday night. Paltel said in a statement: “We regret to announce the complete shutdown of communications and internet services in Gaza after the Israeli side disconnected the servers.” Shortly after the blackout, Israel launched an intense bombardment on Gaza and other nearby zones in the north of the strip. The blackout was confirmed by connectivity monitor NetBlocks.

The UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) has issued an appeal for urgent expanded access to Gaza as food supplies run “dangerously low”. In a statement on Sunday, WFP head Cindy McCain said: “Right now, parents in Gaza do not know whether they can feed their children today and whether they will even survive to see tomorrow.”
