Hanan Greenwood Israel Hayom, Dec. 10, 2023 “Our encounters are mainly on the routes and mainly during the day because they’re afraid to come out at night. They’re firing RPGs from the alleyways or operating explosives and escaping. Dozens of missiles have been fired in our direction, but the vehicles are moving and most of […]
Keren Setton/The Media Line Jerusalem Post, Dec. 13, 2023 “The IDF method is to use massive airpower, then to encircle targeted areas, followed by increased incursions into territories as the hold over these territories gets stronger over time.” The clock is ticking on Israel’s military operation against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, as it is unclear […]
Colonel Richard Kemp The Telegraph, Dec. 11, 2023 “Wisely, the Israelis took little heed of American and British military experts that urged restraint, advising the IDF not to invade with armoured divisions but instead rely on special forces raids as they themselves had done in Iraq and Afghanistan. That didn’t work there and it wouldn’t […]

Tzipi Hotovely Yahoo News, Dec. 10, 2023 ‘… making any such call while Hamas still has its arsenal as well as 137 Israeli hostages, is like saying to Israelis that you do not mind if October 7 happens again, particularly given that the leadership of Hamas has publicly said that it would carry out October […]
Douglas Murray The Spectator, Dec. 9, 2023 “A released Israeli hostage has said they were themselves held for almost 50 days by an UNRWA teacher” There’s an old joke about the United Nations having a football team. ‘But who would they play?’ it goes. ‘Why, Israel of course.’ There may not be much humour in […]
Algemeiner staff Algemeiner, Dec. 6, 2023 “The Secretary-General decided to activate this rare clause only when it allows him to put pressure on Israel, which is fighting the Nazi Hamas terrorists.
