The Day After

10:17 PM

Shalom everyone,
Good evening or good morning depending on where you are from 🙂 It warms the heart to see that there are 365 people here from all over the world.
I have to point out that today there will be a little less updates than usual because a dear friend called and he needs a supportive shoulder so I’m going to sit with him for a bit soon.

I am happy to inform you that following a conversation with a dear friend of mine, who is also with us here in the group, I started preparing several webinars and booklets that will deal with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, from its beginnings in the First World War to the present day.

It’s a lot of work, of course, because it will be comprehensive and in-depth, I’m very thorough, luckily I have a degree in political science and I also work on it as a tour guide, so I already have quite a bit of material, now all that remains is to make it accessible in the form of webinars.

And on another note… What happened here today? Where do we stand in terms of the war?

So today was relatively quiet, relatively there weren’t many alarms, but don’t think for a moment that there weren’t, soon I’ll send a picture of the alarms that were, and you’ll see what relatively quiet is.

At the moment the Lebanese front is not yet developing into a full military campaign, my feeling is that they are waiting for us to put troops into Gaza, and then they will open a full front.

The advantage is that there are quite a few international parties who are pressuring Hezbollah not to open a front, because the price that Lebanon will pay will be unbearable, and they are already in a very bad situation in all aspects. Lebanon as a country is not necessarily interested in a war with Israel, but Hezbollah sits very strong and controls everything that happens in southern Lebanon.

Ahmed Abdel-Hadi, head of the political bureau of Hamas in Beirut, said that Hezbollah’s allies were not warned about the attack on Israel.
But he emphasized that the two organizations work in close cooperation and Hezbollah is ready to open a second front against Israel in the north.

I understand that you don’t read Hebrew, but you can interpret numbers. The numbers displayed on the right indicate the time – the hour and minute – when an alarm was triggered and rockets were fired from Gaza into Israel.
The text written next to these numbers in Hebrew lists the names of the localities where the alarms were activated. Overall, in the entire country, there are affected localities here in the far north, in the center where I reside, and also in the south.

The American military presence on the ground is unusually large and is characterized by the deployment of dedicated physical forces near Israel, reaching a peak in recent days.
Attached is a list of naval forces (only) that were sent to Israel due to the security situation:
  1. USS Gerald R. Ford (aircraft carrier)
  2. USS Eisenhower (aircraft carrier)
  3. Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser
  4. USS Normandy (destroyer)
  5. USS Thomas Hudner (destroyer)
  6. USS Ramage (destroyer)
  7. USS Carney (destroyer)
  8. USS Roosevelt (destroyer)
  9. USS Mount Whitney (command ship)

  10. USS Bataan (helicopter and amphibious vehicle carrier) + rapid

     intervention force These forces are stationed in the Red Sea.

In total, over 15,000 American soldiers are stationed here to deter various parties from engaging in conflict against Israel.

For comparison, the US has maintained a military force of only 900 men in Syria in recent years and another 2,500 in Iraq to address challenges there. Note that the numbers mentioned do not include US military air forces in American bases in neighboring countries.

Why such a strong presence? It’s not just to support Israel. While we do express unqualified support for Israel, there is also a bigger picture involving Iran, which has ties with Syria and Lebanon. I must be careful with my language, but Russia also plays a role, not in the attacks themselves, God forbid, but certainly in providing weapons to Hamas.

The situation can change and develop in unexpected directions and places at any moment. Recently, there were demonstrations in various locations, attempts to damage Israeli embassies around the world, and a synagogue was set on fire (I don’t recall where I read this). In France and the Netherlands, demonstrations are occurring; in the latter, they are banned. The situation is particularly volatile in the West Bank territories, and I will send an update on this later.

Drones and rockets targeted the Ain al-Assad air base in Iraq, which houses US troops. Multiple explosions were heard inside the base, according to security sources who spoke to Reuters.

Explosions were also reported in eastern Syria, in Deir ez-Zor, where there are American bases. It appears that the Iranian axis is behind these attacks on the Americans, and this is directly connected to the conflict with Hamas in Gaza.
A senior American official told CNN: ‘The target of the missiles fired from Yemen is still unclear, but they may have been aimed at an American warship.’

The Israeli security system assesses that the missiles fired by the Houthis in Yemen, which were intercepted by an American warship, were aimed at southern Israel.

10:31 PM

IDF spokesperson:
The IDF and Shin Bet are actively working against the terrorist organization Hamas throughout Judea and Samaria.

Following an extensive arrest operation aimed at counter-terrorism and the confiscation of weapons tonight, more than 80 individuals were arrested in Judea and Samaria. Among these, 63 are operatives of the terrorist organization Hamas. The forces demolished the house of a Hamas terrorist in Kfar Kibiya and arrested numerous wanted individuals in the Nur al-Shams refugee camp.

Numerous units from the IDF, Shin Bet, and the Mageb conducted operations across various centers in the Judea and Samaria Division for Counter-Terrorism tonight, resulting in the arrest of over 80 individuals suspected of involvement in terrorist activities, along with the confiscation of numerous weapons. 63 of these are active members of Hamas.

Additionally, security forces carried out a divisional operation in the Noor al-Shams refugee camp in the Menashe division to counter-terrorism. So far, five wanted individuals have been arrested, and operations in the refugee camp continue to prevent terrorist activities.

Moreover, security forces operated in Kfar Kiva in the Ephraim region to demolish the house of Ahmadyassin Gidan, a member of Hamas who executed a shooting attack near Kedumim, resulting in the death of the late Sergeant Shilo Yosef Amir. During the operation, suspects threw stones at the forces, who then responded with riot control measures. A violent disturbance involving about 20 suspects occurred in the village of Budros during the movement of the forces. These suspects threw Molotov cocktails and objects at the forces, blocked roads with cans and burning tires, and one injury was reported following the force’s response.

Since the beginning of the conflict, 524 individuals have been arrested throughout the Judea and Samaria Division and the Bekaa and Valleys Division, with over 330 associated with the Hamas terrorist organization. More than 50 weapons have been confiscated so far.

10:41 PM

We need more people to hear this guy

10:43 PM

Egyptian media personality Ibrahim Issa criticizes Hamas, stating that they are not the victims; rather, it is the Palestinian people who are their victims. Although he is not a supporter of Israel, he is speaking the truth in this instance.

10:47 PM

Naftali Bennett, the former Prime Minister, explains (again) for the explosion that occurred in the parking lot of the hospital in Gaza yesterday.
He emphasizes the need to explain to the world that this was a result of a failed launch by Hamas and not an action taken by Israel.

10:51 PM

A group of girls at a school in San Francisco protested ‘for Palestine’ today during recess in the school hallways.

Someone should inform them that in a state governed by Hamas, often referred to as the state of Palestine, they would likely need to cover themselves from head to toe and might not be allowed to speak freely. For evidence, one can look at the current situation in Afghanistan since the Taliban regained power.

What I found most ironic was witnessing a demonstration in England, not long ago, of gays supporting Palestine. They seem not to realize that in a Palestinian state, particularly under Hamas, they would likely have to conceal their sexual orientation or face severe consequences.

For confirmation, a simple Google search about the treatment of homosexuals in such regions, can be enlightening.

10:52 PM

Enlarge the picture, and you will see the faces of the people who were murdered on October 7th.

11:00 PM

ZAKA is an Israeli volunteer organization specializing in the recovery and identification of victims in disaster and terror sites, ensuring the dignified handling of the deceased. Here is the testimony of two volunteers

Little Aline
May she rest in peace now in heaven

Little Aline was critically wounded in the terrorist attack by Hamas last Saturday. She had been fighting for her life for the past 12 days, following the murder of her parents and little brother on October 7th. Yesterday, she tragically died, succumbing to the wounds inflicted by the same malevolence that murdered her family and devastated many others, the terrorist organization Hamas. How is it possible to murder such an innocent girl?!

11:05 PM

Despite all this, the decision was made to send humanitarian aid to Gaza through Egypt, including food and medicine. Now, pay attention to what the girl in the video has to say. Stay Safe,
I will continue tomorrow,
thank you,
Love you all,
Shay
