--- Quote ---Playground Hit By Rocket Attack
This morning, Hamas launched a rocket barrage at the southern city of Be’er Sheva. One of the rockets hit a children’s playground in the middle of town and wounded a 37-year-old woman who was nearby.
Thanks be to God that the warning sirens sounded in time, and the playground was not filled with children when the rocket landed. Rockets and shrapnel also destroyed a vehicle and damaged buildings and roads in the city.
This attack follows a series of missile, mortar, and drone attacks launched by Hezbollah in the north, damaging property, starting fires, and causing more casualties.
MAGEN DAVID ADOM paramedics and EMTs have courageously raced to the scene of every attack to find and care for the wounded. But the attacks just keep coming. ...

--- Quote from: mystery-ak on May 11, 2024, 01:04:27 pm ---Bring Them Home: The Five Americans Still Held Hostage by Hamas
Elizabeth Weibel 10 May 2024
There are still five American hostages being held by Hamas. And though our leaders seem to have forgotten them, the American people have not.
Hamas murdered 1,200 people in Israel in the October 7, 2023, terror attack, and took more than 250 hostages. While some hostages have been freed, there are still roughly 130 hostages still being held by Hamas — not all of whom are still alive.
Five of them are U.S. citizens.
The five American hostages who are still in Hamas’ captivity are; Keith Siegel, 65, Sagui Dekel-Chen, 35, Omer Neutra, 22, Edan Alexander, 20, and Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23.
Here is a brief description of each.

I'm doubtful that Brandon could care less. Secondly, is there any proof that they are still alive? You would think that one of Brandon's objectives would have been to bring them home when they were first taken hostage. Of course we all know what his record is; leave Americans behind - they are expendable.

LIEden and his minions give less than a @#$% about those Americans. They are Jews and have been getting (or have gotten) what they deserve.

SOME REVISION REQUIRED

--- Quote ---It would be a mistake to rely on the United Nations for information about anything, especially anything related to the Middle East. In Israel’s current war the UN operates as an arm of Hamas. It is nevertheless worth noting — as the Foundation for Defense of Democracies does in this Flash Brief:
The United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) revised its child fatality figure from the Gaza war sharply downward, reporting more than 14,500 deaths on May 6 but then 7,797 on May 8. OCHA also revised downward its figure for women fatalities from more than 9,500 deaths to 4,959 deaths. The Jerusalem Post first reported the changes on May 11.

While I'm pretty sure the UN's numbers still err on the high side, even the UN isn't buying Hamas' fauxny casualty numbers.

Israeli tanks push deeper into Rafah, battles rage in northern Gaza
- Israeli tanks pushed deeper into eastern Rafah on Tuesday, reaching some residential districts of the southern Gazan border city where more than a million people had been sheltering and stoking fears of further civilian casualties.
Israel's international allies and aid groups have repeatedly warned against a ground incursion into refugee-packed Rafah, where Israel says four Hamas battalions are holed up. Israel says the operation is needed to root out the remaining fighters.
Fighting has intensified elsewhere across the Gaza Strip in recent days, including in the north, with the Israeli military heading back into areas where it had claimed to have dismantled Hamas months ago.
Fierce gun battles were continuing late on Tuesday in northern Gaza's Jabalia, a sprawling refugee camp built for displaced Palestinians 75 years ago.
"Many people are being trapped in their houses. We lost contact with some relatives after they were warned by the army in phone calls to leave and they refused," Nasser, 57, a father of six, told Reuters, using an international phone card.
In Rafah, which borders Egypt, Palestinian residents on Tuesday afternoon said they could see smoke billowing above eastern districts of the city and heard explosions after Israel bombarded a cluster of houses.
Hamas' armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, said it had destroyed an Israeli troop carrier with an Al-Yassin 105 missile in the eastern Al-Salam district, killing some crew members and wounding others.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) declined to comment on the report.
In a round-up of its activities, the IDF said its forces had eliminated "several armed terrorist" cells in close-quarter fighting on the Gazan side of the Rafah border crossing with Egypt. In the east of the city, it said it had also destroyed militant cells and a launch post from where missiles were being fired at IDF troops.....................
