The Israel Defense Forces says it is carrying out a "precise and targeted operation against Hamas in a specified area" of Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza. The ground operation, based on intelligence and "operation necessity," came after the Israeli military had repeatedly warned Hamas against using the hospital as a base for its operations, the IDF said in a statement issued Wednesday morning local time. "Yesterday, the IDF conveyed to the relevant authorities in Gaza once again that all military activities within the hospital must cease within 12 hours. Unfortunately, it did not," the Israeli military said, adding that Hamas's alleged use of the hospital violates international law.

The IDF force went in with medical teams and Arabic speakers. The IDF dominates Hamas.

The minute I heard about the atrocities, I knew Israel would conquer. Seems Hamas underestimated them.

How is the IDF going to tell the difference between hospital nurses and doctors, patients, and hamas terrorists?

#3 - FTA: "The IDF said its forces involved in the operation include medical teams and Arabic speakers 'who have undergone specified training to prepare for this complex and sensitive environment, with the intent that no harm is caused to the civilians being used by Hamas as human shields.'" Although this snippet of information is short on details, it does indicate that Israel is sensitive to the situation yet will not allow Hamas a blank check in their cynical ploy of using hospitals as a shield. No other country is held to the exacting standards such as Israel, yet they consistently rise to those impossible standards set by a biased world as they protect not only their own citizens, but the innocent citizens of their enemy. God bless Israel.

No one will call Hamas for all their war crimes and Israel has to clean up the.mess. Using a hospital, Mosque, or a school is expressly forbidden but for Hamas it is standard operating procedure.

CBS(crap before substance) always has to have hamas' back. The fact that the IDF has to go into the hospital destroy the comand/control center validates everything the IDF has been saying for years. All of the media has known this. They have provided cover for hamas. This is no surprise. They have hated Israel since 1947. God bless the IDF and Israel.

My version of a "precise and targeted operation" would be to locate all entrances from the hospital to the tunnels and direct the main sewage outlets from the hospital into them.

In Vietnam the U.S. had so called tunnel rats, soldiers who would enter underground bunkers, and I'm sure Israel must have devised ways to conduct combat in the tunnels. They are said to have robotic vehicles that can operate, and even dogs. Are hostages kept under this hospital?

Imagining that there is any actual, functional difference between the near mythical "Palestinian civilian" and a Hamas terrorist is to also fret about the "crucial" difference between tomato and tomaahto. A distinction without a difference. Anyone believing that a "Palestinian civilian" in a different moment wouldn't be assisting Hamas in any way possible or actually taking part in Hamas activities up to and including cutting heads is a fool. Just like the "peace activists" who worked for decades to help obtain "fair treatment and peace for Palestininans"....who had their throats cut by the people that they spent a foolish lifetime working to support. The story of the woman who saved the snake comes to mind.

The UK state broadcaster issued an apology on Wednesday after incorrectly reporting Israeli soldiers were targeting “medical teams as well as Arab speakers” while clearing Hamas terrorists out of a Gaza hospital. The BBC said its report on the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) taking on Hamas terrorists inside a hospital “fell below our usual editorial standards” after the newsreader stated attacks were targeting medics and Arabic speakers. The live televised report, which caused outrage and a complaint by the Board of Deputies of British Jews, saw BBC newsreader Monica Miller state to the audience that: …at this moment we are hearing from Reuters that is reporting Israel says its forces are carrying

A video clip that went viral on Tuesday showed an Al Jazeera reporter abruptly terminating an interview with a wounded Gaza resident at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital on November 5 when the injured man began criticizing Hamas. The Jerusalem Post dated the video clip to a Tuesday broadcast on the Qatari network. The interview began promisingly for Al Jazeera, as the elderly hospital patient was not a fan of Israel’s bombing campaign against the Hamas terrorists. “It was not one house that was bombed. An entire compound was erased – over 15 or 20 houses. Is this a human act? No, this is a criminal act,” the man said, as translated

Hunter Biden’s attorneys are asking a federal judge to subpoena former president Donald Trump, former attorney general Bill Barr, and other DOJ officials for records and communications related to the criminal investigation into the younger Biden that began in 2018. Attorneys for the first son wrote in a Wednesday filing in Delaware court that Trump has engaged in “an almost-nonstop public pressure campaign” to prosecute the younger Biden because of Trump’s own “partisan ambitions.” Hunter Biden lawyers Abbe Lowell and Bartholomew Dalton asked a Delaware federal court to issue subpoenas to Trump, Barr, former Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, and Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue for any documents and records

Hundreds of Jewish Americans, on their way to Tuesday’s March for Israel at the National Mall in D.C., were left stranded on the tarmac of a local airport after their bus drivers coordinated a “mass sick out” day to prevent the travelers from attending the rally. Around 300 of the 900 passengers flown in by the Jewish Federation of Detroit were left on tarmac of Dulles International Airport for nearly eleven hours, causing them to miss the entire March for Israel event before being sent back home.

If you were thinking that those large pro-Palestine protests popping up everywhere seem awfully organized, you’re not wrong. Today the Free Press points out that at least four rallies, including one in New York which was later denounced as too extreme by AOC, were co-organized by a group called The People’s Forum.

On Sunday, I reported on the massive pro-Israel demonstrations that broke out across France over the weekend, and I opined that I hoped such action would make its way here and that Americans would stand against hate.

As Friday’s shutdown deadline looms over Congress, the House overwhelmingly passed a two-step temporary-funding bill on Tuesday that can partially fund the federal government through the beginning months of 2024. With a final tally of 336–95, the stopgap bill was met with support from 209 Democrats and 127 Republicans. Only two Democrats, Representatives Jake Auchincloss (Mass.) and Mike Quigley (Ill.), and a substantial 93 Republicans dissented from their political parties. The bill now heads to the Senate, where it is also expected to pass. The latest continuing resolution, which Speaker Mike Johnson (R., La.) proposed over the weekend, provides funding for some federal agencies until January 19 and others through February 2

The members of the Squad were out on Monday night at a rally for a ceasefire in Washington, D.C. Of course, we know that the Squad is for a ceasefire. They've made some troubling remarks in the past. But the effort they are putting in to try to justify it takes some gall and was unintentionally funny. They essentially tried to attack Israel while wrapping themselves in "Jewishness" and tried to use that to help their position. They were at an event by the "Rabbis for Ceasefire." Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) attacked Israel calling them "extremist" and accusing them of having committed "war crimes."

Downtown workers have since been told to stay home and telecommute or use public transport in lieu of getting into their cars with delays forecast to spike everywhere across the heavily car-dependent metropolis. California Gov.

This is the shocking moment a group of brazen thieves looted an Amazon delivery truck while the helpless driver looked on. A group of approximately six thieves that looked to be young boys raided a large walk-in delivery truck after the driver left the door wide open. They frantically grabbed boxes as the female driver watched from a nearby sidewalk and did nothing. She appeared to be fed up with the robbers that snuck up on her while she delivered other packages in an apartment complex that is believed to be in Atlanta, Georgia. It is unclear exactly what was stolen from the truck and who the thieves were.

That means fans who attend Pink's Miami and Sunrise, Florida, shows on Tuesday and Wednesday will be given a copy of some of the books that have appeared on PEN America's Index of Banned Books — many of which refer to things like sexuality, gender, race, religion and more.

Some may blame video games, others the music. Some may lay the problem at the feet of years of progressive education and politics, while still others point to the prevalence of social media. Some will point out that the nuclear family has been atomized over the ages through sexual liberation, federal intervention, and feminism. Others will look to conservatives who dithered about taxes while the country rotted from the inside. More than likely, it was all of the above that contributed to the chaos that reigns in the United States. To a certain degree, cops have always faced a certain level of animus.
