Hamas militant group has started a war that ‘Israel will win,’ defense minister says

[Tall Timbers]

I didnt realize Israel needs ammunition supplied.

Sure seems like another step toward Israel having no allies to call on, eventually seeing it is only God who will come to help!
I don't want to see Israel hurt anymore but if Biden Admin cant pressure Israel into a ceasefire, then they'll cause it. Makes me so angry to watch the world hate and blame Israel.

In some cases they're likely dependent on parts to maintain weapons of war. Take their main fighter jet, the F-35, for example. They buy the jets from the USA and contracts are made for the supply of parts to maintain them. Aircraft frequently need parts replaced and often it isn't safe to fly until that part is replaced. Some of their Defensive systems that shoot down incoming missiles/rockets are make in a partnership with the USA.

Israel has been way too trusting of the USA...

That is one sure fire way to make God angry. Harm Israel. I remember at the start of the war Biden was withholding some necessary supplies to make Israel cave on something. I've forgotten what the terms were, but Israel had to do what they wanted.

I remember it was spare parts related to the jets they bought from the US, and those were in a contract that was carefully written to ensure that no matter what Israel was doing, they'd get the parts. Except the Biden admin saw fit to break the terms and hold the parts for ransom. I forget what the Biden admin was demanding.

Netanyahu started to talk publicly about making weapons at home in Israel instead of paying for stuff from America that they wouldn't get unless they did what Biden's gang of criminals demanded.

So I suppose they are doing it again.

Because Biden's team is desperate to keep their puppet in the Oval office.

So I suppose they are doing it again.

This won't bode well for the USA...

‘We also have a Red Line’: Netanyahu Approves Plan for Rafah Operation​

“The IDF is prepared for the operation and to evacuate the [civilian] population,” Netanyahu said in a statement after meeting with his war cabinet.

The approval came after President Joe Biden last week warned an IDF offensive into Rafah would cross a “red line” and that he would not accept “30,000 more Palestinians dead.”

The Israeli leader in a Sunday interview dismissed Biden’s warning against an operation in Rafah.

“We’ll go there. We’re not going to leave them. You know, I have a red line. You know what the red line is? That October 7 doesn’t happen again. Never happens again,” Netanyahu said, adding that “the positions that I espouse are supported by the overwhelming majority of Israelis.”

I reckon Bibi's position on the matter is supported by most sane people in the world who aren't anti-semetic.

Prime Minister Netanyahu : We will not give in to international pressure, we will enter Rafah in a few weeks, we will fight until complete victory. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strongly rejects the increasing pressure from the US and the international community.

The Prime Minister now said at the beginning of the weekly cabinet meeting: "And to our friends in the international community I say: Your memory is so short? Did you forget so quickly October 7, the most terrible massacre committed against Jews since the Holocaust? So quickly are you ready to deprive Israel of The right to defend itself against the monsters of Hamas? Did you lose your moral conscience so quickly?..."
"Instead of putting pressure on Israel, which is fighting a just war, against an enemy that is crueler than it, direct your pressure against Hamas and its patron - Iran. They are the ones who pose a danger to the region and the entire world," added the Prime Minister.

Netanyahu pledged that the IDF would enter Rafah and eliminate the rest of the Hamas battalions. According to him, it would take several weeks (until the entry).
The Prime Minister completely ruled out the possibility of stopping the war in Gaza and mentioned that there were voices that claimed that the fighting would not resume after the previous ceasefire.

IDF launches pre-planned op. in Gaza's Shifa hospital, heavy clashes reported​

The IDF’s reinvasion of Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza started around 2:30 a.m. early Monday morning and included a mix of IDF Division 162 regular infantry, armor, special forces from the Shayetet 13 navy seals, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), and IDF intelligence collection Unit 504.

Around 20 terrorists were killed, including Hamas Interior Ministry Operations Chief Faack Mabhouh, equivalent to an IDF Brigade Commander and related to Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, a former senior Hamas official assassinated by Israel in the UAE in 2010.

Operationally, the IDF said it approached several different facilities in the sprawling Shifa complex simultaneously to prevent the terrorists from escaping from any of them.

Shooting took place in multiple different rooms in the complex and there are currently ongoing operations there with the IDF searching room to room for additional concealed terrorists.

By Monday evening, some 20 Hamas gunmen were killed inside the hospital premises and another 20 were killed in the surrounding area, the IDF said.

In one incident inside the hospital, the IDF said troops of the Navy’s Shayetet 13 commando unit killed a senior Hamas commander, Faiq Mabhouh.

Suspects were being questioned at the hospital by field interrogators of the Shin Bet and the Military Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 504. The IDF said that as of Monday evening, some 200 suspects had been detained by troops. The military claimed that some of those captured were confirmed terror operatives.

Prime Minister Netanyahu responds to the world leaders who pressure Israel:

"To our friends in the international community I say: Is your memory so short? So quickly did you forget October 7, the most terrible massacre committed against Jews since the Holocaust? So quickly are you ready to deny Israel the right to defend itself against the monsters of Hamas? Did you lose your moral conscience so quickly?

Instead of putting pressure on Israel, which is fighting an unjust war, against an enemy that cannot be more cruel, direct your pressure against Hamas and its patron - Iran. They are the ones who pose a danger to the region and the entire world.

We, in any case, will face all the pressures, and with God's help, we will continue to fight together until complete victory."

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is on his way back to the Middle East, again, to push for a hostage-ceasefire deal.
The Biden administration is increasingly determined to put a halt to the Gaza war, even before Israel has defeated Hamas.
In a call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, President Joe Biden explicitly ruled out American support for a major IDF operation in the border town of Rafah.
Rafah is the last remaining Hamas stronghold in Gaza, and without assaulting it, the terror group will survive and remain in control of the coastal enclave.
Israelis are beginning to wonder why America is so determined to save Hamas.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

"Israeli citizens, a short update on my last conversation with US President Joe Biden.
At the very beginning, we agreed that Hamas should be eliminated. But during the war, it's no secret, we had differences of opinion about the best way to achieve this goal.
At the beginning of the journey, I told the president: Hamas cannot be defeated without the IDF entering the Gaza Strip. In our last conversation I told him: it is impossible to complete the victory without the IDF entering Rafah, and this in order to eliminate the rest of the Hamas battalions. We will do the same this time.

I want you to know that I have already approved the IDF's operational plan, and soon we will also approve the plan to evacuate the civilian population from the battle zones.
President Biden, whose support I appreciate, asked to present to us the proposals of his people both in the humanitarian field and on other issues.
And as I said - there were times we agreed with our friends, and there were times we did not agree with them. In the end, we always did what was essential for our safety, and we will do so this time as well.

And while we are preparing to enter Rafah, which will take some time, we continue to operate with all our might. We continue to operate in Khan Yunis, in the central camps, in the elimination and capture of senior Hamas officials, as we did now in Shifaa, in the elimination of many hundreds of terrorists.
As I promised you time and time again - we are determined to achieve absolute victory, and we will achieve it.'

New details are emerging from the operation the IDF conducted in Shifa Hospital in Gaza.

The operation was planned weeks ago and kept at a high secret level. The goal of the operation is to flesh out the remaining Hamas terrorists who were hiding after the significant offensive. They are no longer fighting as organized units, but are regrouping as small terrorist cells. They believed that Shifa hospital would be a safe place for them to launch attacks against the IDF. When the IDF had confirmation that many were there and were about to launch an attack against the IDF, the go-ahead order was given. On the night of the operation, the IDF conducted a diversion operation nearby. At the same time, SF unit (Shayetet 13), using the new fast-moving armor vehicle Eitan AFV, arrived at the hospital within minutes and cut off all escape routes. A tank brigade came in next and the hospital was surrounded. They started clearing the hospital. So far, 90 Hamas terrorists have been killed, and about 350 have been captured. One of the Hamas terrorists who was captured said, "Once we saw the IDF, we knew we had two options, either die or surrender." Most of them surrendered as the cowards they were.

Lord God of Israel, thank you for leading the descendants of Abraham in their fight for survival so that Your great and precious promise to Abraham would not fail. Your hand is mighty and Your wisdom is unsearchable. May you be glorified by those whom You are helping, may their eyes be opened so that they may accept Your truth; and may they ar last come to recognize Your Son as their Messiah and turn to Him for salvation. We know from Your Word that this will certainly happen when Christ returns to end the Great Tribulation; but may there be, this day, first fruits of that glorious moment foretold by Zechariah, when the survivors of the nation Israel at last look on Him whom they pierced and mourn for Him as for an only child and grieve bitterly for Him as one grieves for a firstborn son. We ask this in His name, the name above all names-- Jesus, the Christ of all Creation. Amen.

'Death or surrender': IDF arrest 650, kills 140 terrorists in Shifa Hospital​

The IDF announced on Thursday that in its four-day operation in Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza, it has now killed around 140 terrorists from Hamas and Islamic Jihad, as well as arrested around 650 additional terrorists.

This was a significant jump from the 90 killed and 160-350 arrested, which the IDF confirmed on Wednesday.

Curiously, the IDF said that all of the Islamic Jihad operatives in the area quickly surrendered, whereas Hamas’s forces were split into two groups, with one large group also surrendering en masse and one large group continuing to resist.

IDF estimates are that there are an additional 50 Hamas fighters to subdue within the Shifa Complex, of which 20 may have significant roles.

It's interesting that so many must have thought the Shifa hospital would now be a safe place. There probably aren't too many tunnels in the north part of Gaza that haven't been destroyed so they can't use those. Even after all the fierce fighting the enemy that started this must not understand Israel's resolve to utterly destroy them.

 

[mattfivefour]

May Israel accomplish her goal and destroy all of these terrorists and their ability to foment trouble.
