Israel's IDF flushes Hamas's tunnels with sea water -- and sends terrorists scurrying out like rats
By Monica Showalter

Hear that flushing noise?

Amid all the screeching of the anti-Semitic global elites, the haze of pro-Hamas global protests, and the Biden administration's efforts to micromanage how Israel conducts its war against avowed terrorists, Israel's Defense Forces have been quietly takin' care of business.

AT's editor, Andrea Widburg has written about the mass surrenders which is happy news indeed, here.

But how they did it is fascinating.

This is how you do it. Fight like the Romans and grind them into the dust using superior tactics.

Get information from them, then kill them all. No quarter for these maggots.

Parents of Teen Peace Activist Held Hostage by Hamas for over 2 Months Plead for Her Release




The parents of Naama Levy, a teenager and advocate for Israeli-Palestinian coexistence who was abducted on October 7 and was last seen covered in blood and being dragged by the hair by a Hamas terrorist, are calling on international organizations and countries to pressure the Palestinian terror group to release her.

The 19-year-old Levy, who volunteered with an organization dedicated to peaceful dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians, was kidnapped during the October 7 massacre by Hamas terrorists from her army base, Nachal Oz.

She completed her training as an observation soldier on the prior Wednesday, arrived at her new military base on Thursday, and was abducted on Saturday morning.

She last messaged her mother, Ayelet, at 6:55 a.m, writing: “We’re in a secure space,” while noting the unprecedented gunfire and rocket salvo outside.

Naama was later seen in footage from Gaza, visibly bloodied, handcuffed, and being forcibly removed from the trunk of a jeep by an armed Hamas terrorist who shoves her into a backseat, as Gazans crowd around to cheer and chant “Allahu Akbar” (God is Great).

Hamas can't release her alive because it looks like she was sexually assaulted.  Alive, she could be a witness against Hamas at a War Crimes Trial.

Keep flooding those tunnels.

The Hamas terrorists that warrant execution should be given the choice of being devoured by boars/hogs or a bullet to the head.  But, they need to provide intelligence or a hostage's location to be eligible for the bullet to the head.

General Pershing did something similar in the Philippines when there was an Islamist uprising.  He killed all but one of the rebels, had their corpses defiled with pig entrails, and release the living rebel to tell others what happened to his comrades.

IDF: Two Soldiers Wounded in Attempt to Rescue Hostages in Gaza

Two Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers were wounded in an overnight attempt to rescue hostages held by Hamas, the Israeli military said on Friday.

The IDF issued a public statement after Hamas claimed that it had killed Israeli soldiers who had attempted a hostage rescue.

In a statement, the IDF said:

    Overnight, two IDF soldiers were severely injured during an operation to rescue hostages held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip. During the operation, numerous terrorists who took part in the abducting and holding of hostages were killed.

    No hostages were rescued in this activity.

    The families of the two IDF soldiers who were injured have been notified.

    The IDF continues to operate in a variety of operational and intelligence methods, together with security organizations, in order to release the hostages, and to collect relevant information.

    IDF representatives are in contact with the families of the hostages, regularly updating them with all verified information about their loved ones.

    Hamas tries to weaponize psychological terror. Please refrain from spreading unverified rumors and enabling psychological terror by Hamas.

Terror is only effective until its targets realize that they are already marked for death.

Hamas' mistake was they overdid the terror.  Hamas took what could have been an effective operation to obtain leverage by taking hostages; and their overkill made the Israelis realize that Hamas has marked all Israeli's for death.

So, for the Israeli's, it's an existential war of survival against a 2nd Holocaust.   The Israeli's have nothing to lose, but their very survival.

There really needs to be a multilateral covert war to eliminate Iran's proxies and the logistics and financial systems that armed Hamas.

US tells Israel to end its war with Hamas within a month as growing death toll in Gaza sparks concerns

• Blinken spoke with govt. officials on his latest diplomatic visit to Israel last week
• Comes as the US' top diplomat publicly criticised the IDF's collateral damage

But he also warned that President Biden expected the war to be wrapped up within three months of October 7, given the collateral damage to Gaza's civilian population, sources told The Times - giving the IDF until early January to achieve their objectives.

The arrogance expressed by Blinken is astounding. Where does he get the idea that he can 'dictate' an end to the war. Where does he get the idea that America is somehow "allowing" Israel to defend itself by 'giving Israel some time' to finish the war. The words and phrases they use are similar to how a parent speaks to a child. It is difficult to understand what makes them think that America is 'in charge' and is running the war in Israel.

Furthermore, Russia destroyed entire city blocks in Ukraine with nothing but civilians in them. Russia leveled square mile after square mile of civilian housing and infrastructure. Russia kidnapped thousands upon thousands of Ukrainian children to reeducation camps in Russia. When did America tell Zelensky that he has 'one month' to wrap up the war? When did America the world scream and protest on campus the Russian deliberate bombing of apartments and markets?

It is odd that America and the world are pretending that the war in Israel is the first time civilians have ever been killed in battle. It is odd that America believes they are some kind of overlord which is permitting Israel to defend its own citizens.

Israel has already said innumerable times that this effort will be a long process, possibly lasting for years. This, end it in one month demand, is beyond ridiculous. America is only making itself look like a fool with these idiotic declarations.

Unfreakin' believable. Blinken has schlitz for brains along with Brandon and cronies. 

Either Bibi wins this war or Hamas will become strengthened and their jihad will continue across the west.

Tells?  Maybe it's the Irish in me, but the US has no right to tell Israel to stop anything.

Israel is an independent, sovereign nation that is doing what Hamas made necessary to defend its citizens from Hamas' genocidal ambitions for Israeli Jews.

Instead, the US needs to figure out how some displaced, p!$$ poor, nomadic goat herders were able to amass such an aresenal of weapons?  How'd they get to Gaza?  Who brought them there?  Who paid for them?  Is that same terrorist materiel logistics network supplying other terrorist actors?

Israel may have been the first to be attacked, but you bet they have plans to attack America, Americans, and American interests.  This is what happens when you allow a terrorist regime in Iran to sell oil for money.

This is what happens when you significantly botch the withdrawal in Afghanistan -- how many of those weapons were used against Israel?  How much $$ and how many weapons have flowed into the hands of Hamas since Brandon has been president??   

It has been verified several times that Hamas is in this country.  God help us because you know darn well, our own gov't doesn't have a handle on things.

[GtHawk]

Every time an attack is launched, and I believe we know exactly where it is being launched from, we should be raining absolute hellfire down on that position, also we should be killing the Hezbollah, Hamas or whatever flavor of moslem, leadership until there are not only none left but none willing to take the role. And we can do this without putting soldiers at risk with the technology and weapons we have.

IDF says soldiers encountered Hamas terror cell inside school

Israeli soldiers encountered a Hamas terror cell within a school in the Gaza Strip before eliminating them, the Israel Defense Forces said Friday.

The Hamas fighters attempted to draw IDF forces from a counter-terrorism unit with the 74th Battalion into an ambush before a firefight erupted, the IDF said. 

The soldiers searched the school in the Shuja'iyya area of Gaza City and found a tunnel shaft inside a classroom, the IDF said.

“This is another example of Hamas’s cynical abuse of schools, they have turned places that should be safe-havens for children into hideouts for terrorists,” the IDF said.

A squad from the Lotar counter-terrorism unit was operating in Gaza for the first time as part of the 188th Brigade, authorities said.

The soldiers in the squad specialize in breaching and demolitions, as well as snipers. Video footage released by the IDF show soldiers firing multiple rounds at a wall where returning gunfire appears to be coming from during close-quarters combat operations. ........

Red Cross reprimands Israeli hostage families: 'Think about the Palestinians'

The Jerusalem Post 12/8/2023

The Red Cross has sparked outrage in Israel with how it has handled the mass kidnapping and massacre conducted by Hamas.

Families of Israelis being held hostage by Hamas were reprimanded by representatives of the Red Cross in a meeting earlier this week, with the Red Cross telling one family they need to "think about the Palestinian side," KAN reported on Thursday night.

Roni and Simona, the parents of Doron Steinbrecher who was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists from Kfar Azza on October 7, were invited to a meeting with the Red Cross earlier this week.

Doron needs a medication she takes daily and her parents thought that the Red Cross was finally willing to transfer the medication to her, but instead they were sat down and reprimanded by representatives of the Red Cross.

"Think about the Palestinian side," the representatives of the Red Cross told Simona, according to KAN. "It's hard for the Palestinians, they're being bombed."

The Red Cross has, over these past couple of months, established itself as utterly worthless. 

Yes, they aren't a very trustworthy organization and I haven't donated to them in decades. There are much better organizations to donate to.

IMHO a better option: Mercury One has donated over $320 thousand dollars to help Israel.

We don’t stand between government aid and people in need. We stand with people in need so they no longer need the government.

I stopped donating to The Red Cross over a half century ago. They were worthless then and nothing has changed.
