North Korea's Kim Jong-un gets emotional at the National Congress of Mothers.

It is unclear what exactly caused the reaction, but at that time the speaker was talking about the readiness of North Korean mothers to sacrifice themselves for the future of their children.

iykofiias:
Hostages shared their experiences with Netanyahu and the war cabinet:

1. “I was in one of the houses when the bombing was all around. We moved into the tunnels, very afraid, not that Hamas would kill us, but that Israel would kill us and then say ‘Hamas killed them’.”

2. “We were bombed while inside the hideout. We were injured and smuggled out. In addition, we were shot at by a helicopter on our way to Gaza. My husband was separated from us three days before our return to Israel and taken into the tunnels. And you are talking about flooding the tunnels with seawater?”

Article by Ynet (Yedioth site), 5 ⁠Dec

They've never really cared about the hostages.

Their release was brought about by immense pressure from the families of the hostages and some countries.

Left alone, Israel will murder all the civilians in Gaza including their own people.

And some think (most) Israelis are human beings and not animals?

iykofiias:
The Israeli army issued an apology for killing a member of the Lebanese army in its attack today. Says it is investigating.

The statement claims they were neutralising an imminent threat nearby.

This apology was likely forced by the U.S.

We've been saying all along that these people are only strong when they see children in refugee camps and people on their sick beds.

Theirs is the most useless military in the world.
One that needs assistance of world powers only to fight women and kids.

They're having a hard time with Hamas na Hezbollah dem go face?

The IDF says troops of the 460th Armored Brigade and the Nahal Brigade’s 50th Battalion discovered one of the largest caches of weapons during operations in the northern Gaza Strip.

The cache, located near a health clinic and a school, included hundreds of RPGs, dozens of anti-tank missiles, dozens of explosives, long-range rockets, dozens of grenades and several drones.

The IDF says some of the weapons were destroyed, while others were taken to Israel for further investigation.

The IDF announces the deaths of another two Israeli soldiers.

They are:

Sgt. First Class (res.) Yehonatan Malka, 23, from Beersheba, a soldier in the 7th Armored Brigade’s 82nd Battalion who was killed fighting in Gaza.

We bow our heads in respect for this hero who was killed defending the Jewish Homeland against Isis-Hamas.

Lt. Col. (res.) Yochai Gur Hershberg, 52, from Havat Philip, a commander of a unit in the 98th Division tasked with locating missing persons who was killed in a car crash.

May their memory forever be a blessing.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

This week we will light the first candle of Chanukah.

Our soldiers will bring light to the darkness, in the alleyways of Gaza, in the ruins of Sajaiya, in the terrorist lairs in Khan Yunis. The lights together, as a great light, will cleave the darkness.

Our soldiers are the heirs of the Maccabees.

Today, as then, they are fighting with bravery, utmost heroism and determination. And today, like then, we will pray together for their well-being. We will pray together for peace in our land: 'To Your people Israel, you worked a great salvation.'

Citizens of Israel, today, I and my colleagues in the War Cabinet met with the families of the hostages – those whom we have already succeeded in returning home and those for whom we are doing everything to return. I heard heartbreaking stories.

I heard about thirst, about hunger, about mental and physical abuse, about young children who are still whispering out of fear, about the great darkness in which their loved ones are being held.

I heard, as you have, about the sexual abuse and rapes of unparalleled brutality. But I must say that up until a few days ago, I did not hear the human rights organizations. I did not hear the women's organizations.

I did not hear the UN. I did not hear them crying out. And I say to them: 'Where are you? You are being silent because they are Jewish women?' I want to say this in a language that everyone understands:

I say to the women's rights organizations, to the human rights organizations, you've heard of the rape of Israeli women, horrible atrocities, sexual mutilation.

Where the hell are you?

I expect all civilized leaders, governments, nations, to speak up against this atrocity.

Intense battles again reported in Khan Yunis and in the northern and eastern sectors of Gaza City.

These are the major strongholds of Hamas's "military" forces.

The IDF is closing in on their leaders.

As IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi stated yesterday, we have entered the third phase of the war.

That being said, Israeli commanders stress that there are still weeks, if not months of fighting ahead before the goals of the war are fully achieved.

Residents of Israel's northern border region today warned the government:

"If you don't start dealing with Hezbollah within days, we will launch demonstrations that will rock the country."

Most of the residents of the towns and villages near the Lebanon border evacuated their homes more than a month ago.

And they will not return so long as Hezbollah sits on the other side of the border, threatening to do the same to them that Hamas did to southern Israel on October 7.

Iran announced today that it successfully launched a new missile carrying a biological test capsule to an altitude of 130 km (80 miles). This puts it almost into the range of low Earth orbit.

Iran announced 10 years ago its plans to develop the means to send astronauts into space.

IDF:
Following the sirens that sounded in Eilat, a launch of a surface-to-surface missile toward Israel was identified, and was successfully intercepted in the area of the Red Sea by the "Arrow" Aerial Defense System.

The target did not cross into Israeli territory, did not pose a threat to civilians and the sirens that sounded were according to protocol.

Israel is fed up with the international community’s failure to adequately condemn Hamas terror.

Foreign Minister Eli Cohen had revoked the visa of the UN humanitarian aid coordinator.

If she won’t support Jews along with Palestinians, then she has no right to be here.

IDF TRANFERS HAMAS SENIOR COMMANDERS TO VIRGIN REALM!!

Israeli forces over the past few days have eliminated about half of the senior commanders of the Gaza City Brigade and the Northern Gaza Brigade - two of Hamas's largest fighting forces.

In the video clip is the deputy commander of the Northern Gaza Brigade, Wael Rajab, making his way through a tunnel system.

In the photo is Rajab and the rest of the commanders of these brigades meeting in one of their bunkers.

Those tunnels and bunkers, which were located in civilian areas, have all been taken over and/or destroyed by the IDF.

The IDF is reporting draft turnout of well over 100% in almost all combat-related units.

Young Israelis are eager to serve in the wake of October 7.

The army also reports a sharp rise in the number of female recruits requesting to serve in combat-related units.

For the first time, two female recruits have been accepted into Unit 669, the Air Force's elite helicopter-borne search and rescue unit.

######

These numbers are encouraging, because many experts say that one of the lessons of October 7 is that the IDF had been streamlined too much, and needs to expand.

Jared Kushner highlights the contrast between PM Netanyahu and President Abbas.

He notes that PM Netanyahu, leading an economic powerhouse in the region, would travel on a commercial El Al flight for meetings in Washington.

In contrast, President Abbas, despite representing a group often termed as "refugees," would arrive in a $60M Boeing private jet,

leading Kushner to question whether he's meeting with a refugee group leader or a king.
