Bethlehem, located just east of Jerusalem, was the center of major Hamas operations foiled by the Israeli Secret Service:
One of the cells was ready to carry out an imminent terrorist attack when its members were captured, it said. (Jerusalem Post)
Joint IDF, ISA, and Israel Police Announcement:
In recent weeks, the IDF, ISA, and the Israel Police dismantled a Hamas terrorist stronghold from which terrorists operated in the Bethlehem area and planned to carry out shooting attacks against security forces and Israeli civilians.
The IDF apprehended more than 50 terrorists, who were later transferred to the ISA for further questioning. The forces conducted more than 15 different operations, some of which were undercover and conducted in broad daylight. In one of the operations, IDF soldiers identified and confiscated multiple weapons, including an M16 weapon.
One of the terrorist cells was in an advanced stage of operational readiness, prepared to carry out attacks within the immediate timeframe.
The thwarting of this infrastructure prevented significant terror attacks, which could have taken a heavy toll on the lives of many Israeli civilians and soldiers.
The IDF, ISA, and Israel Police will continue to operate to thwart any attempt by Hamas to plan or execute terrorist activity against the State of Israel and its civilians, and will work to bring to justice those involved in such activity.

Gaza continues to slow-walk its obligations to return all 48 hostages for Phase One of the ceasefire. Each Israeli family on a tightrope hoping that they will get closure.
En route to Jerusalem this morning, I snapped this photo of my newspaper on my knee, as I rode the bus to play harp in a concert.

Do Not Stand By Neighbor’s Blood
The commandment “Do not stand idly by the blood of your neighbor” (Leviticus 19:16) obligates a person to act when they see another individual in danger, such as drowning, being attacked by robbers or wild animals, or facing a life-threatening situation where intervention is possible This includes not only direct physical rescue but also taking action to prevent harm, such as warning the person of a plot against them or hiring others to save them, even if it requires personal risk or expense The obligation extends to using one’s resources, with some authorities stating that one may be required to spend all their money to save a life, as this commandment is considered one of the most far-reaching in Jewish law The principle has influenced modern legislation, such as Israel’s 1998 Lo ta’amod al dam re’ekha Law, which mandates assistance to someone in immediate danger without endangering oneself.

Former military advocate general Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, accused of discarding her cell phone in the Mediterranean to destroy evidence in the video leak scandal; she now will sit trial. Most of the Military Advocate General (MAG) Corps is under investigation for the Sde Teiman abuse leak, and so the entire division has been temporarily placed under command of the Personnel Directorate until new acting director can be appointed.
The video has since been shown to be spliced from clips from different timestamps. By leaking the video in the middle of that investigation, Tomer-Yerushalmi not only violated the laws regarding court investigations and handling of evidence, but she also damaged Israel in the court of public opinion worldwide; Before any forensic examination of the video, this was the most damaging possible time for such a video to be leaked – prior to the discovery that it had been totally fabricated. It’s as if she and her colleagues fabricated and edited the video themselves simply to harm Israel politically.

Identification proecess has been completed for three more corpses returned to Israel from Gaza.
According to the agreement signed with Hamas, allt he bodies were to be returned on the same day, two weeks ago. Hamas is not fulfilling their side of the agreement. Further, Gazans continue to cross the yellow line and attack Israeli soldiers on a near-daily basis.
Israel withdrew to the yellow line as the first step of Stage One.
Here are the photos of the soldiers:

All three were killed battling terrorists on Oct. 7, 2023; 8 bodies of hostages still held in Gaza; PM vows to ‘eliminate’ last Hamas fighters in IDF-controlled parts of Gaza
Gazans have delayed returning the dead bodies for weeks, in violation, along with their cruel games. One family has received their dead son’s body in three separate installments – and each time they have to open the grave in Israel again to add the new parts just returned. Some of these bodies were killed on Oct 7 and stored in Gaza for two full years, and some are still not returned. Here in my town, at the home where Eliyahu formerly lived with with his teenage brothers Eliran, Yosef, and their parents, the men took away the tent and the chairs and tables, as the seven days since Eliyahu’s death have been completed. In Judaism, according to the Torah, people bury the dead on the first day except for special circumstances. Traditionally, there is another day of mourning at the 30th day and then at the end of the first year. Those last two are traditions, not Bible.
In Gaza, there never was a genocide nor famine. The population continues growing despite the war, and there is a problem with obesity there. Even though the UN has tried to block supplies, and Hamas has intercepted supplies intended for the people, the USA’s GHF has independently delivered food supplies directly to the people despite Hamas and UN’s best efforts to prevent this.

In the USA and Europe, various extreme views have amplified their messages thru paid protesters. Israel has the same problem.
The protesters from the Israeli Jewish Left have received 700 shekels per day while telling the government to release 100 convicted terrorists for each hostage returned – and nevermind the future wars that come about as a result. (Yahya Sinwar, the Gazan architect of the Oct 7 massacre, was released from prison in 2011 where he was serving time for his convictions of violent terrorism crimes).
The ultra-Orthodox Jews meanwhile get a payment for protesting the draft into the army. I’ve learned, they get a bonus if they are violent enough to get thrown in jail, bringing a windfall of 1000 shekels for each day of incarceration.
There there’s the Fatah-party led PA, which has not held a presidential election since 2005: As the “official” Palestinian government for Arabs living in Judea and Samaria, they continue their “pay to slay” program – which pays a monthly reward to the families of terrorists on a sliding scale according to the amount of violence and murders against Jews, who must be killed for being Jewish anywhere in Israel, Judea, or Samaria. As such, the terrorists among them slay their Jewish neighbors next to them in Samaria and Judea, and when they have work permits to work elsewhere in Israel outside of the PA controlled areas, the terrorists among them exploit those working papers to execute murders upon unsuspecting civilians there.
Returning for a moment to the ultra-Orthodox Jews: For years, the Knesset has decided that the decades-long exemption to serve has no reason to be continued; the High Court has called for the Parliament and Government to correct this injustice. And yet, it seems that no matter what The People (Knesset) or the Court says, the Government has continued to extend the exemption to serve. And as I’ve recently learned, someone is paying these protesters too.
As such, these ultra-Orthodox Jewish Israelis are unwilling to help protect the nation which provides them protection; but they are willing to implement all sorts of violence against the police and the government for issuing draft orders. At that point they are willing to start riots, start fires, hurl projectiles at police, bring cities to a standstill, all in the effort to not serve in the army just like the majority serves. Exactly how much protesting would occur if these people weren’t paid? Who exactly pays – the ultra-Orthodox and their fundraisers, or some other entity? Until these questions are answered and solved, we will never know how much protesting would occur without those financial incentives.
And the same question goes for the Jewish Left as well as Palestinians:
Without payments, exactly how many from the Left would issue such demands that the Government appease the terrorists in all negotiations?
Without payments, which we know come from the Palestinian Authority (PLO), exactly how many Palestinians would murder civilians in the streets and cafes?
Let’s conclude in prayer:
“Father in heaven, let there be truth in these populations; let unfair protest payments be exposed to the light and brought to an end; and guide Israel and all the nations to perform Your will. Amen.”

Dirty: We’ve been saying that the UNRWA was collaborating with Hamas terrorists.
No genocide: We’ve said that the population continued to rise in Gaza – during the war – according to the UN’s reported numbers – even while they printed headlines accusing Israel of genocide.
No genocidal intent: Israel is the regional superpower of the Middle East. The entire Middle East is breathing easier now that Israel wiped out all Iran’s air defense systems. And yet with all that power, Israel’s soldiers have laid down their own lives in order to protect Gazan civilians who were used as human shields for Hamas.
No famine: We’ve known for months that the UN stockpiled thousands of pallets of food aid, letting it rot in the sun rather than distribute it to the people. So the USA built its own unique distribution system instead, with Israeli cooperation.
But now that the IDF stopped shooting at Hamas in early October, and waits for coffins to be returned, the dust of war settles. We already knew that the Gazan civilian to combatant death rate was a little less than 2:1, whereas the USA/Britain joint force achieve 4:1 during the war against ISIS in similar conditions, which was, a crowded urban setting with non-state terrorist combatants who commit war crimes freely and hide behind civilian human shields.
If many British and American civilians accused Israel of genocide with 2:1, then they themselves are doubly guilty with their 4:1 ratio.
But wait – now that the IDF is no longer shooting at Hamas, we learn that the actual ratio during the IDF’s fight against terrorists in Gaza was only 1.5 to 1. (1.5:1).
Nobel Peace Prize? Guinness Book of World Records?
