A mosque or an RPG training center?

IDF soldiers uncovered a room used for RPG training of terrorists inside a mosque in Jabalya. Nahal Brigade soldiers also found many weapons including rifles, grenades, cartridges—some of them inside UNRWA bags; all for carrying out terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians.

White House national security spokesman John Kirby said the Biden administration is concerned about new reports that Israel used white phosphorus munitions supplied by the United States in an attack in Lebanon.

I would be upset if they weren't using it.

I would be upset if they weren't using it.

Mixed feelings. Those phosphorus munitions are really very, very, nasty. Use with extreme caution and discretion.
BTW: Russia dropped phosphorus munitions on heavily populated civilian areas in Ukraine, with no outcry from anyone.

It was 2 am and IDF soldiers noticed some suspicious movements in the horizon. In a time of war, that would generally mean to open fire. But the IDF, being the IDF, waited and then noticed it was a kid, a 4 year old girl. ...

The IDF soldiers took her to the field doctor, they treated her wounds and helped her in every way they could. ... Turns out, the child was sent by Hamas into the heart of a war zone to see if the Israeli soldiers were up and alert.

The bodies of Eden Zakaria and CSM Ziv Dado, who were taken hostage by Hamas terrorists on Oct 7, have been recovered by our Special Forces.

27-year-old Eden was taken hostage from the Re’im music festival.

36-year-old CSM Ziv served as a logistics supervisor in the Golani Brigade’s 51st Battalion.

Locating the missing and bringing the hostages home is a national mission. We are working with all security agencies, intelligence and operational means to fulfill it. 1/2

Iran warns of 'explosion' in Middle East if war in Gaza continues: report
Iran proxies have launched 90 attacks on US bases and troops since Oct 17
By Peter Aitken Fox News
Published December 12, 2023 11:55am EST

Iran’s foreign minister has warned that the war in Gaza could lead to a "big explosion" of conflicts in the Middle East, with Lebanon and Yemen already "involved" and more countries poised to join.

"At least every week, we receive a message from the U.S. telling us that U.S. bases in Syria and Iraq are targeted by some groups," Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian told the Doha Forum on Monday.

"At any moment, there is a possibility of a big explosion in the region, one not controllable by any party," he explained via translator.

The ominous warning follows the U.S. veto of a United Nations Security Council resolution to seek an immediate cease-fire. U.S. Deputy Permanent Representative Robert A. Wood called the demand for an unconditional cease-fire "dangerous" and "a recipe for disaster for Israel, for Palestinians and for the entire region." The U.K. abstained from voting.

It's about time.  Hamas made it clear they will kill the remaining hostages, if they haven't already.

Nearly 1/5 of Israeli soldiers killed in Gaza died due to friendly fire and other accidents, IDF says
NBC, Dec 12, 2023

TEL AVIV — About one-fifth of Israeli soldiers killed during Israel's ground offensive in the Gaza Strip, which began in late October, died from friendly fire and other accidents, the Israel Defense Forces said Tuesday.

At least 105 Israeli soldiers have died since the military began ground operations began in Gaza, an IDF spokesperson said. At least 20 of those deaths were caused by "accidents," they said.

Of those 20 deaths, 13 were caused by friendly fire, or internal fire from the military's own troops. Six were caused by other accidents related to "weaponry, machinery, trampling," they said. At least one death was caused by firing irregularities.

The incidents of soldiers killed by friendly fire were due to mistaken identification in airstrikes, tank shelling and gunfire, the Times of Israel separately reported.

One soldier was killed in gunfire that was not intended to hit them, the outlet reported, while another two were killed in accidental misfires.

Two soldiers, according to the Times, were killed in incidents involving armored vehicles running over troops, and two others were killed by shrapnel, including from explosives set off by Israeli forces.

An IDF spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for further information on the deaths and any injuries related to accidents.

The IDF has said it is constantly assessing the ongoing fighting in Gaza, including the cases of friendly fire, the Times of Israel reported.
