OK, I’ve managed to calm down a bit, and we must continue to share and spread the truth. Thank you for the kind words sent privately; they truly warm my heart. So, here are some updates on how the day unfolded…
10:12 PM
10:15 PM
This is how many alarms were today, each one is because of rocket fire ya? Not one rocket but many each time.
10:21 PM
The US State Department: As of this moment, we know of 29 American citizens who were killed in the terrorist attack by Hamas. There are 15 missing American citizens (apparently kidnapped in Gaza – Israel).
And it’s not just Americans as well, in fact, see for yourself from which country People either got murdered or kidnapped by Hamas.
10:34 PM
I remind you, it’s the same people who trying to go down south to avoid the bombings but Hamas blocking their roads because it needs them to protect its shooting places, etc.
this is how Hamas is working to liberate the land….
it’s not some military base, it’s just a kibbutz (small village) full of civilians, this is from the terrorists’ body camera.
Just imagine going for a morning run, and someone starts shooting at you, don’t forget the RPG at the end.
10:50 PM
Do you see the green headband?
of support for Hamas.
we saw about this headband?
The next video, sourced from the body camera of a Hamas terrorist, shows exactly what they came here to do, kill and kill some more.
There are no words. And if you’re wondering why the car slowed down, it’s because here in Israel, it’s common to stop to help if you see someone lying on the road or if there’s an accident.
Furthermore, some of the terrorists were deliberately disguised as IDF soldiers, so the vehicle slowed down as it approached them, only realizing too late that they were terrorists…
11:08 PM
This is only part of the ammunition Hamas brought with them on October 7th, they came ready to destroy, they came ready to murder, and as much as possible.
11:15 PM
Remember the video with all the alarms I sent a few minutes ago? to show you how many alarms there were today.
So let’s see how many missiles each alarm is.
Hamas has just released a video demonstrating that a single Red Alert corresponds to an onslaught of 45-50 rockets, or potentially even more.

Everywhere I went, I talked about you. My trainees, the soldiers, friends from my time in Paris—everyone felt they knew you. ‘As Yuveli once told me’ was how I began every lesson. It sounds cliché, but you truly made me a better person. Our story never had an easy path. Our wedding was postponed due to the coronavirus, then again because of ‘Guardian of the Walls.’ Gungon was born by emergency cesarean, and his circumcision was small because of the virus. But the peak was two months ago.
I thought that was our hardest time, going through a stillbirth. And I say ‘we’ because, though I endured it physically, you carried that pregnancy too. You longed so much for our boy. During the birth, you saved my life by alerting the nurse when I lost a lot of blood.
You were my guardian angel. Thanks to you, I’m alive. And now you’re gone. It was so like you to be the first to pack, even though you didn’t want to go. You always put everyone else before yourself.
I still don’t know the full story of what happened, but rumors say your actions prevented much unnecessary bloodshed. I didn’t want you to be everyone’s hero; I wanted you to be my hero, Jonathan’s hero. Now you belong to everyone.
I love you more than words can ever express.

And sometimes, there are also such beautiful moments:
The CEO of Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital shared in the morning meeting that last night at ten o’clock, the hospital director called him with a problem: most of the hospital’s cleaners had not arrived on Saturday, and an urgent solution was needed.
Remarkably, at 6 in the morning, 150 youths from the Bnei Akiva youth movement arrived and began cleaning non-stop. The CEO commented: ‘I have been in hospitals for many years, and I have never experienced such a pleasant smell anywhere, akin to that of a hotel.’
It was truly heartwarming because cleaning is not a task that people typically rush to volunteer for, and yet here we had 150 teenagers show up overnight, ready to help.
12:21 AM
This is from last night, this is what a rocket barrage looks like on Ashkelon, from the Israeli side.
It’s no different from tonight.
12:47 AM
It is with a heavy heart that we bid farewell to Nadav Amikam, the esteemed wood arts teacher at the Yehiel school in Betel Shahar.
Nadav was in the emergency classes of Kfar Gaza and tragically fell on October 7th while defending his kibbutz and our country. He was not just a skilled carver and wood artist; he was a respected teacher, a person with a vast soul, and someone dearly loved by many.
Only God knows the count of spoons, bowls, and beautiful boxes crafted under his guidance by his students. Children from the 5th to the 8th grade would select logs that resonated with them and transform them into art, all using hand tools, marrying wood with metal through hand and heart. It breaks my heart to walk past the spoons in the foyer of our house, the ones he taught Rain to make.
Nadav, you were one of the best people ever. A man of endless generosity, volunteerism, and the understanding that the world touches the heart through the hands. The man who led every mission, and volunteered for everything, is now no longer with us. We dearly love you, dear man. You once asked me to show you how I carve spoons in a style different from yours. I’m sorry, my friend, I didn’t manage to. I always thought there was still time.

Yael Eliya writes:
“The heart refuses to believe and cannot digest the bitter news. Eitan was murdered by terrorists in a fierce battle at Be’eri’s clinic. He fought heroically for hours alongside his friends from the kibbutz’s standby team against hundreds of terrorists.
They were trying to save the home he cherished so deeply. The pain of your departure is unbearable, and I cannot come to terms with it.
Eitan Haddad, a hero of Israel in life and death, from Kibbutz Be’eri.”

A video was released by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the X network.
While it doesn’t show gunfire or blood, it does display a burned body.
Please decide for yourself if you wish to view it or not.

As I reflect on how to conclude this dreadful day, I find myself without any special insights. The situation is grim and likely to remain so for some time. Yet, we must find a way to move forward. I thank you again for being here and encourage you to continue sharing the materials I send; it’s important. May we see better days ahead.
In memory of Nevo Arad, who was 25 years old when he tragically lost his life at the hands of Hamas.
