Israel seeks to kill Qassam Brigades commander Dief, strike Hamas as world pushes for ceasefire

Israel plans to continue Operation Guardian of the Walls in order to strike at more high-quality Hamas terror targets, even as the US, EU and others pushed for a ceasefire.

Among those targets is Hamas’s Qassam Brigades commander Mohammed Deif, who the IDF believes it has a chance of killing if the operation continues. Military sources told The Jerusalem Post that Dief had been targeted more than once during the last week of fighting but that he had succeeded at the last moment to get away.

GOLDSTEIN: Hamas has never wanted peace with Israel

Everyone wants peace in the Mideast, but there will never be peace between Palestinians and Israelis as long as Hamas controls Gaza.

The government of Canada (and many other countries) classifies Hamas as a terrorist group —“a radical Islamist-nationalist terrorist organization” that uses violence “to pursue its goal of establishing an Islamic Palestinian state in Israel.”

Hamas ‘suicide submarine’ is obliterated in Gaza by an Israeli airstrike

Footage has revealed the moment a Hamas ‘suicide submarine’ drone was obliterated by an Israeli airstrike – and the crew operating it were ‘neutralised’ in their car – as bombardments on Gaza continue despite US calls for ceasefire.

Video taken from the air by Israeli aircraft on Monday shows two missiles smashing into the drone submarine and a huge explosion erupting in the shallow waters close to a tower block in northern Gaza.

Another piece of aerial footage then shows a car being tracked by overhead cross hairs before it is rocked by a blast which brings it to a swift and fiery halt. The IDF said the militants inside had launched the autonomous submarine.

Washington Post Frets That Iron Dome Means Not Enough Israeli Civilians Are Getting Killed for Hamas to Win

For the past week, Israel and Hamas have been engaged in an energetic exchange of ordnance. The catalyst for the current rejuvenation of Hamas’ terror campaign against Israel is unclear but the reason it is happening now and not one or two or three or four years ago is crystal clear. Unhappy at inheriting a quiescent Middle East where Israel and the Arab world are developing economic, security, and diplomatic ties and Iran is so cash-strapped that it is finding it difficult to fund its terrorist operations, the Biden bunch is, in a flashback from the Obama administration, attempting to bolster Iran as the regional superpower while limiting assistance and cooperation with our Arab allies and with Israel.

As Iran’s Mullahs Incite Hamas Terrorism, Biden Administration Wants Sanctions Lifted

Amidst the Iranian regime’s clear role in inciting terrorism against Israeli civilians, talks to lift sanctions against the regime are advancing in Vienna. The Biden administration is apparently offering even more concessions and sanctions relief to Iran’s leaders, concessions that “go beyond the nuclear-specific sanctions.”

Meanwhile, these leaders from Iran are openly encouraging Hamas to launch more rockets at a longtime US ally in the Middle East, Israel. Additionally, the head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force, Esmail Ghaani, in a phone call with Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, recently applauded Hamas for its attacks.

With Iranian support, drones are becoming a larger threat to Israel -analysis

An incident on Tuesday where a UAV was shot down in northern Israel after it approached the Israeli border represents a growing drone threat to Israel. An Iranian drone flown from Syria’s T-4 base in February 2018 also penetrated the same area carrying explosives. Israel shot down the Iranian UAV with an Apache helicopter near Beit She’an.

Israel has had to contend with growing drone threats during this war in Gaza as well. By Monday, at least six drones had been shot down. Israel used Iron Dome for the first time in combat to take down at least one of the drones. An F-16 shot another down.

Hamas’s rockets are killing Palestinians too

Israel’s military action in Gaza is widely reported daily across the world. Images of hundreds of rockets lighting up the skies over Israeli cities and of the rubble of destroyed buildings in the Gaza Strip are once again part of the daily cycle of print and broadcast news. But most reports are thin on details of Israel’s military activities. What exactly are their aims? How are they pursuing them? And how much success are they having?

Erdoğan Enlists Pope Francis in Propaganda War to Punish Israel For ‘Crimes Against Humanity’

On Monday, Pope Francis spoke with Islamist Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan about the escalating conflict between Israel and Palestine. Erdoğan pressured the pontiff to rally the international community into punishing Israel for “crimes against humanity.” Erdoğan twisted the facts of the situation on the ground to demonize Israel and convince the pope to spread his propaganda.

How Hamas became so deadly

Funded and equipped by Iran, it could overwhelm Israel’s Iron Dome

Gaza in spring is vertiginous. Half-bombed tower blocks dot the cityscape like broken Lego; satellite dishes cluster on roofs; the streets are thick with people. They drive cars and motorbikes and scooters. They ride horses and, occasionally, carts pulled by donkeys. They walk, talk and gesticulate; they smoke furiously.

What Really Is Behind the Latest Burst of Hamas Terror in Israel

What Really Is Behind the Latest Burst of Hamas Terror in Israel

Like all wars, the real causes are many and lie below the surface.

The media of our day always coalesce around a narrative that fits their preconceived worldview. When viewed in a light that “Palestinians” all are “Victims of Color” and that all Israelis are White Supremacists or their next of kin, it is easy to misjudge the Mideast reality underlying present conflict coming from Gaza. That narrative thus preaches that Jews with legally valid property rights in the eastern portion of United Jerusalem are not entitled to advance their legal claims to oust trespassers, Arab or otherwise, from their homes. That same line of reasoning proposes that supposed Israeli belligerence lies beneath the barrage of some 2,000 rockets launched from Gaza and aimed by Hamas at Israel’s civilian population from Ashdod and Ashkelon to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

Anti-Israel protests in Germany prompt calls for antisemitism crackdown

Politicians in Germany have called for tougher measures against antisemitism after thousands of people attended what became aggressive protests at the weekend in connection with the escalating violence in the Middle East.

In the most violent protest, in the southern Berlin district of Neukölln, demonstrators who had gathered to show solidarity with Palestinians burned Israeli flags, chanted anti-Israel slogans and flew Hamas banners.

“We are experiencing antisemitic protests and despicable hatred towards Jews in these days, which makes it vital that we take on antisemitism much more decisively,” Paul Ziemiak, the general secretary of the Christian Democrats, told German media.

Responsibility for the Latest Upsurge in Arab-Israeli Violence Goes to US President Joe Biden

Responsibility for the Latest Upsurge in Arab-Israeli Violence Goes to US President Joe Biden

Full responsibility for the latest upsurge in Arab-Israeli violence goes to US President Joe Biden as a result of the policies of appeasement and capitulation he has pursued in the Middle East.

When Mr Biden took office in January, the Middle East was enjoying one of its rare moments of optimism, mainly due to the successful approach adopted by his predecessor, President Donald J. Trump.

Blinken denies Israel’s ‘smoking gun’: Secretary of State says ‘he’s seen NO evidence’ Hamas was operating in Gaza media building destroyed in airstrike – despite Israeli claims Biden was ‘satisfied’ with Netanyahu’s evidence

Knows nothing.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken says he hasn’t seen any evidence that Hamas was operating inside a media building in Gaza housing the Associated Press and Al Jazeera offices was destroyed in an Israeli airstrike.

An Israeli diplomat said on Sunday that the government provided ‘smoking gun’ evidence to President Joe Biden about the high-rise its forces obliterated.

But Blinken appeared to go against their claims, said the U.S. is seeking additional evidence from and has demanded a full explanation from the Israelis.
