Israel border police (Magav) operate in East Jerusalem against Palestinian rioters.

An interesting note on this -
A day after the war broke out, Palestinian rioters launched fireworks at Israeli forces in Jerusalem and were shot dead - ever since, there are less riots than ever.


That's the solution - if rioters endager the lives of our forces - shoot to kill.

REPORT:
Mossad chief David Barnea will meet this weekend with the prime minister of Qatar about resuming hostage release negotiations with Hamas, according to source in Israel.

One of the offers reportedly on the table is allowing the top Hamas leadership in Gaza to evacuate to a third country in exchange for releasing the remaining Israeli captives.


It is unclear what country would want to host these monters. Nor is there any guarantee Israel wouldn't still target them for assassination.

After the atrocities of October 7, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has promised that they are all dead men walking.

Terrorists who were hiding inside schools were eliminated and others were located and surrendered: in a joint raid by the combat team of the 401st Brigade and the 13th Fleet, in the Rimal neighborhood in Gaza

Following information about Hamas terrorists hiding inside the schools, yesterday (Friday) fighters of the 401st Brigade Combat Team and 13th Fleet, under the command of Division 162, raided the "Al Ma'atzam in Allah" and "Al Farabi" schools where Hamas terrorists were hiding in the Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City.

The forces eliminated terrorists in battles that took place in the area. In addition, terrorists hiding inside schools surrendered and were arrested by the forces.

The forces of the 4th Brigade Combat Team yesterday raided a row of operational apartments in the Khan Yunis area. The fighters found in the apartments many weapons and underground infrastructure used by the terrorists.

The reserve fighters of the 551st Brigade Combat Team detected the movement of a number of Hamas terrorists on the roof of a building from which shots were fired at the forces in the Jabaliya area. The forces directed an Air Force aircraft, which attacked and destroyed the building.

They've started begging Qatar to beg Hamas for the release of hostages again.

I said it several times here that Israel lobbied for the first deal after failing to free a single hostage from Gaza and dying like rats.

The idiots here said Hamas begged for ceasefire.

Una never see anything.
Very useless people.

The IDF provides new details of yesterday's tragic incident in Gaza City's Shejaiya neighborhood, during which three Israeli hostages who managed to escape Hamas captivity were shot dead by troops.

According to a senior officer in the Southern Command, citing an initial probe, the incident began after one soldier stationed in a building identified three suspicious figures exiting a building several dozen meters away.


All three were shirtless, with one of the figures carrying a stick with a makeshift white flag, according to the investigation.

The soldier, who believed the men moving toward him was an attempt by Hamas to lure IDF soldiers into a trap, immediately opened fire and shouted "terrorists!" to the other forces.

According to the probe, that soldier killed two of the men, while the third, who was hit and wounded, fled back into the building from which he came.

At that stage, the commander of the battalion, who was also in the building where the soldier shot from, went outside and called on the forces to halt their fire.


Meanwhile, sounds of someone shouting "Help" in Hebrew were heard by the troops in the area.

Moments later, the third man came out of the building to which he fled, and another soldier opened fire at him, killing him.

The battalion commander then realized that the appearance of the third man was unusual, and it was revealed to be an Israeli hostage. All three bodies were collected and taken to Israel to be identified.


The soldier who immediately opened fire upon identifying the three men did so against protocols, as did the second soldier who killed the third man, according to the officer.

Still, the IDF understands what led the soldiers to do so.

In Shejaiya, the senior officer says the IDF has not identified any Palestinian civilians in recent days.


The only people seen wearing civilian clothing have been Hamas operatives, often unarmed. The operatives collect weapons left behind in various buildings, open fire at troops, and then flee again unarmed to another building.

The officer says troops have killed at least 38 Palestinian terror operatives in Shejaiya in recent days.

The IDF has also encountered several seemingly unarmed civilians in Shejaiya, who later turned out to be Hamas suicide bombers.


There have also been several attempts by Hamas in the area to lure soldiers into an ambush.

Apparently unrelated to the incident yesterday, the officer says that several hundred meters away the troops found a building with spray paint on the wall reading "SOS" and another sign reading "Help, three hostages."

The soldiers at the time believed the building was booby-trapped, and now the military is investigating a possible connection to the incident.


Immediately following the incident the IDF sent new protocols to ground troops for the possibility of more hostages managing to flee captivity.

The scenario itself, of hostages walking around in a battle zone, was never taken into account by the IDF.

The initial probe was completed today by the head of the IDF Southern Command, Maj. Gen. Yaron Finkelman and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, and also presented to the families of Yotam Haim, Samar Talalka, and Alon Lulu Shamriz, who were killed by the troops.

Local media reports that the US has started to reprimand Israel over "disproportionate" retaliatory strikes in Lebanon.

If this is true, it marks a worrying shift.

Israelis are adamant that the situation on the northern border cannot remain the same in the wake of October 7. They will not wait for Hezbollah to one day do what Hamas did.

Conflicting reports:

1. Hamas has rejected all hostage release deals that don't include a permanent ceasefire.

2. Hamas is ready to release the IDF soldiers it is holding in return for Israel freeing 300 or more jailed Palestinian terrorists.

Hamas today published a video warning that time is running out for the Israeli captives in Gaza, and that they are already dying, either at the hands of Hamas, or as a result of IDF activity.

The goal is to fan the flames of internal division in Israel between those who see destroying Hamas as the primary objective, and those willing to pay any price - including an immediate ceasefire - to bring the captives home.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to address this issue at 8pm Israel time.

This is the view from my home right now. It may looking calm and peaceful but it’s everything other than that.

Non-stop take offs and landings of F-16 fighter jets and military helicopters during Shabbat are telling the whole story - Israel is at war.

It’s a nasty one and a long one. But God…
