President of Latvia on a solidarity visit to Israel

Latvian President Edgars Rinkevich arrived today on a solidarity visit to Israel and met with the country's President Yitzhak Herzog.

The Latvian president said during his meeting with Herzog:


"...We do support Israel's right to fight, we also support - and we will try to do our best to ensure the release of all the hostages, this includes working with the international community and exerting pressure.
Of course, we also believe that the situation Israel is facing is really dangerous, not only for your country, for your region, but actually for the planet as well. I hope all the hostages will be released very soon. I hope we will also see more support and solidarity [with Israel] from the international community."

Latvia gained its independence after the breakup of the communist Soviet Union in 1991 and currently has about 2 million inhabitants.

An analysis of satellite images by the FT shows that nearly half of the buildings in northern Gaza were destroyed or severely damaged during the war.

In the Shatti camp, "satellite data shows that only 30% of the buildings from the camp remained intact."

What a JOKE!!!
You're talking about a people who live in Palestine where Jesus was born, who know his true story more than most of you, converting to Christianity?

Have the Jews who are his kinsmen converted to Christianity?

These 200 Gaza men didn't see Jesus in their dreams before the war but dream about him everyday now when his Jewish brothers have bombed most of their buildings and killed thousands of their kids, wives and elderly?

And who was the nitwit who went into Gaza to get this laughable information and how did he get there?

The Ministry of Finance today reported that every day of war is costing the State of Israel one billion shekels, which is the equivalent of just over 250 million dollars per day.

This amount includes the cost of reservists' wages, the cost of flight hours, as well as fuel, food and ammunition. American aid is expected to reimburse around 9 billion dollars related to the cost of equipment and ammunition.

Unconfirmed reports have come to us that the IDF took almost 200 corpses from the morgue refrigerators at Shifa Hospital to determine if any of them are Israelis or foreign nationals abducted from southern Israel on October 7.

Officials from Israel's search, rescue and identification organizations have been called to Gaza to help identify the bodies. Some of the bodies reportedly have tattoos, meaning they are almost certainly Israelis, since tattoos are forbidden in Islam.


Again, none of this is yet confirmed, and Israeli authorities will not release an official statement until they have definitive results.

IDF:

Over the last day, the IDF led by COGAT helped facilitate the safe evacuation of newborn Gazan babies from the pediatric ward of Shifa Hospital to receive essential medical treatment in Egypt
.


The coordination of this vital mission was at the request of Egypt and the Director of the Shifa Hospital. The evacuation was carried out by UN teams with the assistance of IDF teams on the ground. Israeli incubators were provided to the Shifa hospital for the rescue effort of the babies.

The IDF remains steadfast in its resolve to assist in the humanitarian efforts in Gaza and its commitment to upholding human dignity and providing aid in times of crisis.

Chapter

Zechariah chapter 14
English Standard Version

1Behold, a day is coming for the LORD, when the spoil taken from you will be divided in your midst. 2For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses plundered and the women raped. Half of the city shall go out into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations as when he fights on a day of battle. 4On that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives that lies before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east to west by a very wide valley, so that one half of the Mount shall move northward, and the other half southward. 5And you shall flee to the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal. And you shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.
6On that day there shall be no light, cold, or frost. 7And there shall be a unique day, which is known to the LORD, neither day nor night, but at evening time there shall be light.
8On that day living waters shall flow out from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea and half of them to the western sea. It shall continue in summer as in winter.
9And the LORD will be king over all the earth. On that day the LORD will be one and his name one.
10The whole land shall be turned into a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. But Jerusalem shall remain aloft on its site from the Gate of Benjamin to the place of the former gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses. 11And it shall be inhabited, for there shall never again be a decree of utter destruction. Jerusalem shall dwell in security.
12And this shall be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the peoples that wage war against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.
13And on that day a great panic from the LORD shall fall on them, so that each will seize the hand of another, and the hand of the one will be raised against the hand of the other. 14Even Judah will fight at Jerusalem. And the wealth of all the surrounding nations shall be collected, gold, silver, and garments in great abundance. 15And a plague like this plague shall fall on the horses, the mules, the camels, the donkeys, and whatever beasts may be in those camps.
16Then everyone who survives of all the nations that have come against Jerusalem shall go up year after year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Booths. 17And if any of the families of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, there will be no rain on them. 18And if the family of Egypt does not go up and present themselves, then on them there shall be no rain; there shall be the plague with which the LORD afflicts the nations that do not go up to keep the Feast of Booths. 19This shall be the punishment to Egypt and the punishment to all the nations that do not go up to keep the Feast of Booths.
20And on that day there shall be inscribed on the bells of the horses, “Holy to the LORD.” And the pots in the house of the LORD shall be as the bowls before the altar. 21And every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be holy to the LORD of hosts, so that all who sacrifice may come and take of them and boil the meat of the sacrifice in them. And there shall no longer be a trader in the house of the LORD of hosts on that day.

IDF: Activity of the 504 Unit during war is revealed

A senior official in the 504 Unit:
"So far, we have apprehended over 300 terrorists from the terrorist organizations during the ground operation who were brought into Israeli territory for further interrogations
.


The information that emerges from the interrogations of the terrorists is very valuable, leading to elimination of operatives and the preservation of the security of our forces."

As part of the terrorist interrogations that have been going on since the start of the war, 300 terrorists of various terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip were interrogated and gave the locations of underground terrorism tunnels, warehouses and weapons, along with exposing the enemy's methods of operation, and the enemy's assimilation efforts within the civilian population.

Throughout the war, the unit has been operating with a wide variety of tools and methods to achieve four main goals: to support the ground operation, collect intelligence to confirm targets, to lead and to influence the effort to evacuate the civilian population to the south of the Gaza Strip.


As part of the effort to evacuate the civilian population from the northern Gaza Strip, the unit operated with a variety of operational tools which helped the unit make over 30,000 phone calls, send over ten million text messages, send over nine million voice messages, as well as distribute about four million leaflets from the air and land, calling on the population to evacuate. The evacuation effort allows the IDF to broadly strike Hamas infrastructure in the area.

Using accurate human intelligence provided by the 504 Unit, over 300 newfound enemy targets in the Gaza Strip were confirmed and over 100 targets were struck as part of the target production effort.


Senior Official in the 504 Unit of the Intelligence Directorate (J2):

"We received thousands of phone calls from Gazans, on a scale never seen before in the unit. It is evident that the residents of the Gaza Strip are not satisfied with the barbaric conduct of Hamas, the ordinary civilian understands that Hamas is bringing disaster to the residents of Gaza that will be difficult for them to recover from.


The interrogations of the terrorists in cooperation with the ISA are an inseparable layer of the complete intelligence picture. The information that emerges in the interrogations of the terrorists is very valuable, it leads to the elimination of operatives and the preservation of the security of our forces.”

Head of European diplomacy, EU Chief Gardener Borrell and a lesson in hypocrisy:


Does the EU consider what Hamas did on October 7 a war crime?

"Yes, we consider this a war crime. This is obvious, because there was a murder of civilians, for no reason other than to simply kill them for being there" - says Borrell.

Do you in the EU consider what Israel is doing to be a war crime?

"Well, I'm not a lawyer!" - Borrell says, in all seriousness.
