Updates will come in the evening, but I stumbled upon this video and couldn’t resist sharing it. It connects us all;
it’s the same song from yesterday, ‘A Song for the Ascents,’ but sung by a different company of soldiers. Listen to how they sing from the heart – it’s amazing and empowering!
Psalm 121, A Song for the Ascents.

This photo was taken in the last Alarm, in the middle of Road 1
(Tel-Aviv – Jerusalem)
One road. An alarm sounds. Missiles intercepted overhead.
This is what the photographer observed:
Beside me, a young mother shields her baby’s cradle, visibly frightened. A police officer notices her from a distance, approaches her, removes his helmet from his head and places it on hers, then drapes the ceramic vest over the baby. These are our police officers.
Respect.

Want to understand what it’s like to live in Israel?
It’s about living in a strange and constantly shifting reality, where any moment can bring change. Consider the singer Eden Hason.
In one hand, he holds a black shirt to sing at a soldier’s funeral, and in the other, a white shirt for singing at a soldier’s wedding. And both events are happening close by.
This is our life in Israel, where we’re geared up for joy, yet everything changes so rapidly. God willing, we will know only happiness someday.

However, it’s crucial not to accept everything reported by the media at face value without thorough verification.

Two Pictures One Dear Kotz Family
‘Every human being is a whole world, and you were our whole world.
Our hearts are broken and we have no consolation,’ their relatives eulogized during the funeral.
The family was completely wiped out in the massacre. Father Aviv worked as VP at Aviv Consulting, and mother Livnat was a graphic artist. Rotem, 18, served as a commander of a rookie squad in Bahad 7 of the ICT Corps. Yonatan and Yiftach, both students at Kfar HaYarok and members of Hapoel Tel Aviv’s basketball academy, were in eleventh and ninth grades, respectively.
Many attendees wore red shirts to the funeral, a nod to the family’s connection with the basketball team.
Some residents are still missing, while others have been confirmed as abducted.
‘The Kotz family’s untimely demise at the hands of brutal murderers will forever be remembered.’
The Beautiful Arava Family
The Poor Arava family had to endure it before they were slaughtered by Hamas.
May God will avenge their death!
During the stream, they forced Tomer, the son, to move between houses, knocking on doors to lure more people outside.
Miraculously, no one else emerged.
Her husband, shot in the leg, sat beside her covered in blood, waiting for rescue with their children.

The reasons for this are unclear to many, and perhaps only God truly understands why. But let’s set that aside for a moment and look at what UNRWA recently tweeted.

Remember what I posted a couple of days ago about Hamas Blocking the road for the Gazanian people, preventing them from running south?
If not? it’s ok I know, a lot of information, so let me remind you for a bit
These aren’t snowflakes, nor are they some secret weapon. They are leaflets dropped by an Air Force plane over Gaza.
Written in Arabic, these leaflets notify the local residents that their area will soon be shelled and advise them to evacuate by a specified time.
The leaflets also provide guidance on where to go, specifically directing them to move south towards Khan Yunis for safety.

Now watch this 40 sec’ video, and wait for the end of it
11:48 PM
And just in case you need it, here are the satellite images showing the roadblock set up by Hamas and the resulting traffic that’s unable to proceed.

And for those who are still skeptical about the hospital that blew up in Gaza this evening, here’s a video recording from Kibbutz Netiv HaThara. It was taken during a rocket barrage on Israel. You can skip the first 15 seconds, and then you’ll see one of the rockets falling and exploding in Gaza.
However, it’s likely they will portray this incident to the world as if Israel bombed a hospital… It’s up to each and every one of you to counter their falsehoods with the evidence you see here.

Let’s not reduce their murders and kidnappings to mere statistics. We must remember the faces, the individuals, the children, and the grandparents.

On Saturday, when Hamas operatives crossed into her home in Kibbutz Be’eri, murdering over a hundred and kidnapping many,
Silver’s family lost contact with her.
Days earlier, on October 4, she had participated in a peace rally in Jerusalem.
That Saturday, as the situation escalated, Silver communicated with her loved ones until about 11 a.m. She then hid in a closet safe room, joking about keeping a knife there next time.
Her last message was about the intruders leaving, and she hasn’t been heard from since.
Vivian Silver has been a lifelong activist.
Raised in Winnipeg, Canada, she was involved in the North American Jewish Students Network and the Jewish Student Press Service in the 1970s. She later moved to Israel, co-founded Kibbutz Gezer with Habonim Dror, and settled in Kibbutz Be’eri.
Silver also served as co-executive director of the Arab-Jewish Center for Equality, Empowerment, and Cooperation.
She worked towards the betterment of the Bedouin community and Arab citizens in Israel, and as a volunteer for Road to Recovery, she regularly assisted Palestinians needing medical care.
Silver’s abduction is a cruel irony given her lifelong commitment to Israeli-Palestinian peace.
Her friends and family have launched efforts to locate her, including a Facebook page ‘Missing Vivian Silver,’ and have reached out to the Red Cross and the Canadian government for assistance.
She was brutally murdered by Hamas.

Israel withdrew unilaterally from Gaza in 2005, giving Gazans an opportunity to transform their region into a thriving area like Monte Carlo, Singapore, or Dubai. Israel and Arab nations would have supported this transformation.
However, the Gazans elected Hamas to lead them.
01:21 AM
with so much information, it’s easy to get lost.
Sometimes, we need visual evidence to truly grasp what happened here on the morning of October 7th, a day that was meant to be a holy holiday but tragically turned into a day of brutal massacre by psychopaths.
