Defense Minister Galant:
The military maneuver phase has ended in the north of the Gaza Strip;

In the south of the Gaza Strip it is close to completion.

If the fire stops, the fate of the abductees will be sealed for many years in the captivity of Hamas.
Without military pressure no one will talk to us. Only from a position of strength can the abductees be freed.

Fire for fire, zero negotiation. Their mind go dey

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps paramilitary directly attacked Iraqi Kurdistan’s capital city, Erbil, again with ballistic missiles just before midnight Monday local time.

The target was not, as initially speculated, the large new U.S. consulate or the American troop base in Erbil International Airport.
IRGC missiles descended on the house of a well-known local businessman, killing him and members of his family. Explosions were heard throughout the city, alarming many residents.

The IRGC promptly claimed responsibility for the attack and a simultaneous strike on Syria. In Erbil, the powerful paramilitary claimed its missiles targeted a “Mossad headquarters” in retaliation for Israel’s prior assassination of IRGC members, claiming the target “was responsible for planning and running espionage operations and terrorist activities in the region.”

Hamas announces the death of two of the three hostages shown in the video yesterday, in a new release today.

Their dead bodies are shown as evidence.

And so, the Israeli army's arrogance has led to the death of new Israeli hostages.

They were alive, they could have stayed alive and went home safely, but Netanyahu has decided they should die

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

In absolute fear and in the dark, the Israeli army buries the soldier and his mother who were killed in an ATGM attack from Lebanon in Kfar Yuval.

Soldiers and the family were forced to evacuate the area after a 10 minute funeral only.

After arriving in Idlib at the militant camp. Iranian sources say that the missile launched from southwest Iran traveled 1,200 kilometers and hit the target.

Iranian missiles need to cover approximately the same distance to strike Israel.

So here is also a clear demonstration of the possibilities.

Re: World News! Events Happening Around The World by Uprightness100(m): 10:35am On Jan 16

EXPOSEE ON THE REAL FACTS ON GAZA
Roy Yanovski: 100 days of reserve service officially ended yesterday. Some initial insights:

1. Gaza is seen as a backward area, the "most densely populated in the world" which has been under Israeli "siege" for years. THERE IS NO BIGGER LIE THAN THIS.
Gaza is a modern, beautiful and developed city - with large and well-equipped houses, wide boulevards, public spaces, a promenade by the sea and parks. Looks much better than any other Arab city from the Jordan to the sea, much more similar to Tel Aviv than Kfar Qasim or Umm Al Fahem. And of course it is very far from being "the densest in the world".

2. If it's a siege, let me live in a siege . The houses are bursting with goods and food from all the countries of the Middle East, the latest furniture, advanced electrical equipment and what not. There are also luxury estates that would not embarrass Savion and Kfar.
There is absolutely no shortage of wealth in Gaza. In general, most of the houses I've been in were much bigger than the apartment I live in in Tel Aviv. The sentence "If only they had a chance for a good life, they wouldn't fight in Israel" is simply not relevant to Gaza.

3. The most common thing in the homes of the Gaza Strip: The Map of ISRAEL - under the heading "Map of Palestine". There is no mention of Israel or Israeli settlements in general.
And it is found in almost every home, in every school and in every public institution, the goal of erasing the State of Israel is neither hidden nor restrained, it is almost everywhere. The historical distortion of this map, which is taught from the age of 0 (mandatory borders of territories that were never all designated for an Arab state) is a topic for another discussion that only emphasizes the distorted perception of reality by the residents of Gaza.

4. In all the neighborhoods we were in, there are ready-made Hamas combat compounds - weapons, tunnels, charges, launching compounds, all inside residential houses, some of which are also prepared with openings in the walls for passing between buildings and what not.
The residents of the Gaza Strip who live in the combat zones know this, they have received countless notices to evacuate. Long before the IDF entered. The Israel Defense Forces' announcements are still there everywhere. Those who decided to stay in the fighting areas are either Hamas members in various positions or people who consciously decided to stay in the areas used by Hamas for fighting, their consideration is with them.

5. Hamas members rarely go around armed. They are neither stupid nor suckers. They know they won't be shot if they go in "civilian" guise. They prepare the IDF ahead of time at the entrances to the buildings and arm themselves just a moment before they attack. That is why the fighting is much more complex than any other arena and anyone who tries to judge from the outside why soldiers shot X or didn't shoot Y should go into Gaza for a week or two and come back with insights.

6. The circle that enables the activity of Hamas is much larger than its tens of thousands of terrorists. The ideology of Hamas is found in almost every home, in pictures, in propaganda materials. Hamas in Gaza is like Messi in Argentina.

7. The strengthening of Hamas at this level requires the active assistance of the population. There is no way that the residents of the compounds where we located rockets and weapons did not know that the place is used as a launching compound where they try to massacre Israelis every day.
And I find it hard to believe that the parents in the kindergarten where there was a tunnel shaft in one of which we were in do not know this. Who chooses to send their children to a kindergarten that serves as a terrorist infrastructure?

8. Hamas's strongest weapon is lies and propaganda.
It's his fuel. This is how you will maintain the "siege" lie for years, this is how they are doing now with the photos of the innocent victims and the killing of the "journalists" who turn out to be terrorist operatives.
