Israel's War Against Hamas - Updates

When his nine-year-old daughter Emily first came back home after nearly two months in Hamas captivity, Thomas Hand didn’t let her out of his sight. At night, he would sit up watching her sleep. Whenever she frowned, he’d wake her, worried she was having a nightmare.

The rare times that Emily went out with her two grown-up siblings, he’d put an electronic tracker in her pocket, so that he could follow her on his phone. Each day, he marvelled that she was really there, thin and exhausted, with matted hair and lice, rescued from an ordeal that defies comprehension.

Now, he knew, came the really hard part. Bringing the little girl who loved singing and dancing to Beyoncé back to herself — regaining the confidence she lost during the 50 days of horror she spent in Gaza. And, for himself and the rest of his family, trying to move back towards some sense of normality, in a country at war, with their lives forever changed.

“When she first came back, we were very happy, but just heartbroken,” said Hand, 63, who is originally from Ireland and moved to Israel more than 30 years ago. “Her condition, she wasn’t physically injured at all. She wasn’t molested, she wasn’t hurt in any way. But just it was more on the mental side.”

Shawan Jabarin, the general director of Al-Haq, a Palestinian “human rights” organization, was observed as part of the South African delegation at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) last week. Jabarin, a former senior member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) – designated as a terrorist organization by Israel and around 30 Western countries – has a contentious history.

Jabarin's past includes convictions for his involvement with the PFLP and multiple prison sentences. The Israeli Supreme Court, in a 2007 ruling, described him as playing dual roles in both a non-governmental organization and a terrorist group. The Israeli Supreme Court described Jabarin as “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” in light of these dual roles, such as reportedly recruiting PFLP members into Al-Haq, a Palestinian NGO known for promoting the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

[ They helped create the monsters, now are abandoning them ]

Leaders of the PA, Jordan and Egypt agree: We prefer dead Gazans to a single one on our territory



From the PA's official Wafa news agency:




They're getting better at their doubletalk. But they mean the same thing they have said since October 7: no Gazans will be allowed to flee to safety, no matter how much they want to.

The position of the United Nations is that freedom to emigrate is a human right, part of the right to freedom of movement. According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, "Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country."

Travel bans are considered a major infringement of human rights.

By any sane metric, banning Gazans from leaving if they want to is a massive violation of their human rights. But the PA, Egypt and Jordan enthusiastically support such bans on travel, as do NGOs that otherwise are dead-set against it.

Amazingly, they all claim that this is for the Gazans' own good. Equally amazingly, no one is asking Gazans themselves what they want to do and what they think of these leaders who decide for them what they are allowed to do.

Even though there are articles showing that many Gazans are desperate to leave.

The only, and I mean only, reason why no one is concerned over this massive violation of Gazan human rights is because they hate Jews more than they hate Gazans, and they think Israel would benefit from this mass travel ban on 2 million people. That is enough to damn them all to potential death and injury as Israel fights a terrorist group that uses those same civilians as their main line of defense.

The world's hypocrisy knows no bounds.



Israel has prevented Palestinians from returning to their homes since 1948.

 
The IDF on Sunday published an extensive update on war statistics to date. These include some 9,000 Hamas terrorists killed; two of Hamas’s five brigade-level commanders eliminated; 19 battalion-level commanders killed of 24 battalions.

Despite those successes, Hamas’s top leadership in Gaza remains at large.

Previously, the IDF has said it killed around 1,500 Hamas terrorists in the South during the early days of the war to counter Hamas’s invasion. The estimated total number of Hamas forces has varied wildly from 40,000 pre-war to 25,000.

One Palestinian called the Hamas leaders “dogs” before vowing they would be cursed by Allah.

“Listen, listen to what the people around me are saying, may Allah protect us from you, Hamas,” the Palestinian told the Israeli officer. “Allah will curse them, Allah will curse them and those that voted for them.”

He went on to add that Hamas “destroyed us, pushed us 100 years into the past. May Allah bring disaster upon them. Our people are their hostages. Those dogs are taking advantage of their power over us.”

Another Gazan told an Israeli officer, “Tell your leaders: Hamas people are abroad, outside of Palestine, screw them outside of Palestine, kill them.”

He added, “I am telling you in the name of our nation. I am sitting alone, and I’m screwed. Everything’s destroyed. They’re all abroad, sitting around in hotels. F**k them up. Curse their fathers. Sitting around in hotel rooms.”

Most of Hamas's military leaders based in Beirut escaped the Lebanese capital due to fears of being targets of assassinations, KAN News reported Sunday night, citing a source within Hamas.

As per the source in the Gaza-based terrorist group, Hamas has taken significant measures to ensure their leaders' security following the targeted killing of Saleh al-Arouri, widely attributed to Israel.

Arouri was killed along with at least five other people in an alleged Israeli drone strike in the southern suburbs of Beirut. Arouri was not only viewed as one of the master planners of Hamas’s October 7 massacre in southern Israel but was also one of the main reasons for Hamas to Lebanon and to Iran.

According to the KAN report, Hamas officials left Lebanon and soon were deported to Syria and Turkey. In addition, senior leader Ghazi Hamad had reportedly fled to Qatar and has not returned to Lebanon since Arouri's assassination.
