There are countless stories of heroism from this weekend. This is one of them.

The above is Inbal Lieberman, a resident of Kibbut Nir Am near Sderot.

On Saturday morning, she was up early and realized quickly what was happening.

Inbal ran from house-to-house waking everyone up, and quickly got the local response team organized.

She then helped organize a battle plan, got armed men positioned on the kibbutz fences and gates, and prepared for battle.

The defenders of Nir Am repelled the initial Hamas assault, killing 25 terrorist invaders at their gates. And according to one local source, they suffered no dead during the entire barbaric ordeal.

All because of one woman.

Peter Tschentscher - mayor of
Hamburg - Germany today:

“Let us not deceive/fool ourselves!
It is not just Hamas, that is spreading this terror. There are many more behind them.
Forces, organizations, states.
They question Israel’s right to exist and want to fight the Israeli state.

And there can only be one answer to that:

Today, we hoisted an Israeli flag on public buildings in Germany, in the Bundestag, in the Bundesrat, and here in Hamburg at the town hall; to make this message clear and visible.

It is a sign of our deep friendship with Israel. And our sympathy. We express our condolences in the grief and suffering of its citizens/nation.”

Joint Statement on Israel

Today, the leaders of France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States of America released the following joint statement following their call:

Today, we — President Macron of France, Chancellor Scholz of Germany, Prime Minister Meloni of Italy, Prime Minister Sunak of the United Kingdom, and President Biden of the United States — express our steadfast and united support to the State of Israel, and our unequivocal condemnation of Hamas and its appalling acts of terrorism.

We make clear that the terrorist actions of Hamas have no justification, no legitimacy, and must be universally condemned. There is never any justification for terrorism. In recent days, the world has watched in horror as Hamas terrorists massacred families in their homes, slaughtered over 200 young people enjoying a music festival, and kidnapped elderly women, children, and entire families, who are now being held as hostages.

Our countries will support Israel in its efforts to defend itself and its people against such atrocities. We further emphasize that this is not a moment for any party hostile to Israel to exploit these attacks to seek advantage.

All of us recognize the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people, and support equal measures of justice and freedom for Israelis and Palestinians alike. But make no mistake: Hamas does not represent those aspirations, and it offers nothing for the Palestinian people other than more terror and bloodshed.

Over the coming days, we will remain united and coordinated, together as allies, and as common friends of Israel, to ensure Israel is able to defend itself, and to ultimately set the conditions for a peaceful and integrated Middle East region.
