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

Their threats of murder are without question. They are in a murdering death cult and will rage and hate all the way to their graves. We know they are not the only people on this planet that live like this either. The billions that won't bow the knee and submit in the tribulation and at the 2nd advent of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords will defy and choose war at their own peril as well. This is why the families, friends, countrymen, and all with love and decency have been so worried for the hostages.
 
Hamas makes outrageous demands for releasing remaining hostages
Amid news of extended negotiations with Hamas regarding phase two of the hostage agreement, the terror group is reportedly demanding the release of numerous Palestinian prisoners, a full withdrawal of the IDF from Gaza, and a commitment from Israel not to resume fighting.

In exchange for the remaining hostages, Israel would release hundreds of Palestinian terrorists, including all remaining mass murderers, and the IDF would be obligated to fully withdraw from the Gaza Strip—an issue that has caused serious impasses in previous hostage agreements.

In the first phase of the current hostage deal, nearly half of all Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences in Israeli jails were released.

As part of the hostage release and ceasefire agreement, 274 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences have been freed, with 300 still remaining in Israeli jails, according to Kan News.

Israel threatens Gaza siege, targeted killings, and invasion to force Hamas to release hostages
Israel’s cabinet has prepared a list of measures to pressure Hamas into releasing hostages held in the Gaza Strip, with progressively more intense steps taken should the Gaza terror group refuse to comply.

Over the weekend, The Wall Street Journal reported that the Israeli government has drafted a plan to force Hamas to resume its release of hostages, with a list of incremental moves to pressure Hamas before returning to a full-blown ground war in Gaza.

The first step, halting the flow of aid into the Gaza Strip, has already been implemented, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered Israeli border crossings to bar passage to trucks entering Gaza last Sunday.

Now, according to the report, Israel is poised to restore the full siege on Gaza that was put in place in the early days of the war, shortly after October 7, 2023. This would include a complete halt to the supply of electricity and water from Israel to Gaza.

Ceasefire over as Israel strikes Gaza after Hamas refused to release hostages, officials say​


The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is over as Israeli fighter jets began striking the Gaza Strip after Hamas refused repeated hostage deal offers, officials said.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) began striking Hamas terrorist targets across Gaza "in order to achieve the war objectives set by the political leadership, including the release of all our hostages—both the living and the fallen," the office of Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a letter.

"This decision comes after Hamas repeatedly refused to release our hostages and rejected all proposals presented by U.S. President’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, as well as the mediators," the letter states.

Israel will intensify its military actions against Hamas moving forward, authorities said.

Reports from Amir on the strikes in Gaza.......



GAZA CEASEFIRE OVER!!

Prime Minister’s Office Statement:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz have instructed the IDF to act forcefully against the terrorist organization Hamxs in the Gaza Strip.

This decision comes after Hamxs repeatedly refused to release our hostages and rejected all proposals presented by U.S. President’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, and other mediators.

At this moment, the IDF is striking Hamxs targets across the Gaza Strip to achieve the war’s objectives as set by the political leadership, including the release of all our hostages—both the living and the fallen.

From this point forward, Israel will escalate its military operations against Hamxs with increasing intensity.

The operational plan was presented by the IDF last weekend and has been approved by the political leadership.



White House spokeswoman: "Israel consulted with the Trump administration and the White House in advance of the attacks on Gaza. As President Trump has made clear, Hamas, the Houthis, Iran, and anyone who seeks to terrorize - not only Israel but also the United States - will pay a heavy price. The gates of hell will open."

Amir Tsarfati

White House National Security Council Spokesperson: "Hamas could have released hostages and extended the ceasefire, but instead it chose defiance and war, and so it received it."


Gaza is Burning.. Israel notified Trump and he gave the green light.

For now, it’s just an air campaign and anything can change.


NEW: Following the airstrikes, Israeli tanks and artillery batteries on the Gaza border also began targeting Gaza.


Israeli Airstrikes Eliminate Senior Hamxs Officials:

•Major General Mahmoud Abu Watfa, Undersecretary of Gaza’s Interior Ministry, was killed. He was involved in rebuilding Hamxs’ civilian infrastructure.

•Brigadier General Bahjat Abu Sultan, head of central operations in Gaza’s Interior Ministry, was also eliminated, per Saudi Al-Hadath.


Amir Tsarfati

Additional details on the return to fighting in Gaza:

* Among the targets the IDF is attacking in Gaza are senior Hamas political wing officials and mid-level Hamas commanders.

* Against the backdrop of the storm over the dismissal of the head of the Shin Bet, the Chief of Staff is commanding the operation together with the head of the Shin Bet from the Kirya pit.

* In recent weeks, Hamas has increased its readiness to carry out attacks on Israeli territory, to strengthen and rearm.

* At this stage, this is an air attack, but the IDF emphasizes that the attack will continue as long as necessary and will expand beyond air activity.

* The IDF is deployed and on alert in all sectors, both in deploying forces at the borders and through air defense systems.

* In addition to canceling classes in the envelope, it was decided to halt the operation of the Sderot railway line for the time being.

* The plan was prepared and kept secret in the IDF to create surprise and deception.

Chaos in Gaza tonight as people are trying to flee the airstrikes.

Hamas never built any air raid shelters, only terror tunnels.

Amir Tsarfati

Eliminated: Abu Omar Al-Hata, a senior official in the Hamas Ministry of Justice in Gaza.


Netanyahu:
From now on, Israel will act against Hamas with increased military force!


Defense Minister Katz decided: Israel closed the Rafah border crossing to patients. Rafah border crossing was used for the exit of Gazan patients from the strip.


Two hundred Hamas terrorists were eliminated in the opening strike

 
I just have to say
I love our brother Amir and he's so dedication to keeping everyone informed on what's going on in Israel and the ME and I appreciate that.

But yesterday he posted a vida video on Telegram and it got a lot of reaction by his Telegram followers.
I saw that video and his caption saying that's not in the Middle East, but in front of the White House in DC.
Because Amir doesn't always provide sources I look for a source on the post he's made.

Well I found a few sources with that same video online.
I had to chuckle because while that video exists showing many Muslims prostrating in prayer to their Allah, and it did happen in front of the White House
The video clip was from 2017 with Muslims in protest of something President Trump has done during his first term in office in 2017.

I don't know if Amir was aware that the video he posted was not current but I did chuckle because not everyone looks to see where the source is from or whether it's true and those who reacted on his Telegram must have believed it had happened recently.

The Bible tells us to check everything ✔️ 👍
 

Talks between Hamas & Israel are still deadlocked as IDF strikes terror targets & ground troops advance​

Negotiations over a new ceasefire with Hamas continued over the past days but remain deadlocked, Israeli media reported on Thursday, as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) continued to pound terror targets and advance ground troops in the northern Gaza Strip.

A Hamas official talking to Reuters confirmed that efforts by the mediators had intensified in recent days but noted, “no breakthrough has yet been made.”

According to the Qatari outlet Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, an Israeli delegation was in Cairo on Wednesday evening, and a Hamas delegation is expected there on Thursday to continue the talks with the Egyptian mediators.


Israel should be demanding unconditional surrender of hamas and release of all hostages, alive and dead. Anything less is a win for hamas.
 
ISRAEL VS. HAMAS:
THE GLOVES ARE OFF

The Israeli military command has reached a blunt conclusion: every attempt to bring the hostages home and end this war has failed.

While Hamas demands a ceasefire, it keeps sending suicide attacks from Judea & Samaria and stoking conflict with Hezbollah in the north. It refuses to release hostages, choosing instead to torture their families with staged propaganda videos. It loots its own aid supplies to deepen Gaza’s misery and blame it on Israel.

The Israeli military command have came to the realisation, that Hamas is not negotiating. It’s stalling to buy time. The Terror organisation is regrouping, preparing the next massacre.

The IDF knows exactly what it’s facing now. Hamas is rebuilding its terror machine, perfecting the tactics of embedding deeper into civilian areas, plans to continue kidnapping Israelis for leverage, and raising funds for its activities online from sympathizers worldwide. And while the world lectures Israel about restraint, Hamas is planning its next bloodbath.

Seems that Israel has had enough.

This time, the strategy is different: To do the opposite of what Hamas expects. No more deals. No more begging for international approval. No more diplomacy.
If 20 hostages is what needed to be sacrificed in order to prevent the next massacre, so be it.

The gloves are off.

Israel is calling up all reserve forces to man the northern border to switch with active-duty combat troops, who are being moved to the South where they’re needed most, to protect the 1st line of Israeli civilians who’ve returned to towns near Gaza.

As for humanitarian aid, that’s no longer the IDF’s job. Israeli soldiers will not die to deliver supplies that Hamas steals. From now on, neutral foreign contractors can take the risk. Let them deal with it.

And here’s the real shift: Israel tried to use every token in the book, now it is done trading in time, money, and diplomacy. Now, it’s putting a new token on the table: TERRITORY.

For a year and a half, the world screamed “occupation,” even though Israel didn’t conquer a single inch of Gaza. So if the label’s already been slapped on—maybe it’s time to earn it.

That’s the current mindset in the Israeli government. And if the international community doesn’t like it, maybe it should ask itself what it did to push Israel to this point.

 
Defense Minister Israel Katz held a briefing today with the IDF’s 162nd Division, which is set to take part in a major upcoming offensive in Gaza, called “Operation Gideon’s Chariots.”

“Operation Gideon’s Chariots is intended to defeat Hamas and bring about the release of all the hostages. We will act with great force to destroy all of Hamas's military and governmental capabilities, while creating strong pressure for the release of all the hostages,” Katz said.

He added that “unlike in the past, the IDF will remain in every area it conquers to prevent the return of terrorism and to clear and thwart any threat.”

According to Katz, the current phase “allows a window of opportunity until the end of the US president’s visit to the region, to carry out a hostage deal.” President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates from May 13 to May 16.

He also stated that Israeli forces will remain in a buffer zone inside Gaza “in any temporary or permanent arrangement,” to protect Israeli communities and prevent Hamxs from rearming.

“From the moment the maneuver begins, we will act with great force and will not stop until all objectives are achieved, including the voluntary emigration plan for the residents of Gaza,” Katz said.

I saw something on facebook saying that the IDF wants to pretty much level every building in Gaza and that all the protests across the world will explode cause of these actions.

Praying for the escape of both innocent Israelis and Palestinians if this does end up coming into fruition.

I would call the leveling of every gaza structure, elimination of all terrorists, the removal of the entire population to other lands, and the annexation of gaza into Israel less than a proportionate response to Oct 7.
 
Operation Gideon Chariots has begun |
IDF forces are currently operating in the north and center of the Gaza Strip with great intensity.

Arab reports indicate that the Gazans are fleeing to the south.


The IDF surrounded the refugee shelter at the Othman School west of Beit Lahiya, north of the Gaza Strip

Things come to a halt and the women and children are deported towards Gaza southward. The school is in red.

Videos are coming out from Gaza showing many civilian casualties. Many today from earlier bombings in Gaza

 
Israel begins a massive military operation in Gaza – with bombings from land, sea and air.

The IDF bombed the house of the Ghandour family (Hamas brigade commander in the northern Gaza Strip who was eliminated?) next to the Abu Ubayda School in Beit Lahiya. There are several dead and injured.

Medical sources tell Al Jazeera:

136 martyrs in Israeli raids on the Gaza Strip in less than 24 hours since sunrise Thursday morning.

This is just the beginning…

 
Israel Is moving ahead tonight with pre-GIDEONS CHARIOTS attack plans. Israeli media: “Whats happening in northern Gaza tonight seems to be a PRELUDE to Operation Gideon. The main operation hasn't even begun yet.”

Israel now occupies 35% of Gaza's territory through an expanding "buffer zone," according to Israeli Channel 12.

Satellite images reveal that the buffer zone covers approximately 129 square kilometers (50 SQUARE MILES) Additionally, 15 large military posts were established within the zone.

The images also revealed Israeli forces constructing 5 military corridors running laterally across Gaza, with troops deployed in several strategic locations, including Rafah, Gaza City, and the northern Strip.

It’s GO TIME.


Now in the southern strip. Tanks approaching the town of Carrara north of Khan Yunis. Arabs report heavy gunfire and sounds of tanks now. Bombings on the town and liquidation west of the town in the Asada area near the city of Hamed.
