RED SEA Shipping Under Attack: Houthi Rebels Escalate Danger
— A series of suspected attacks by Yemen’s Houthi rebels targeted a ship in the Red Sea on Thursday, authorities report. This incident highlights ongoing threats to maritime traffic in this crucial waterway amid Middle Eastern conflicts. The British military stated that a projectile damaged the vessel but caused no fire or injuries.
At least two more projectiles fell near the ship, which was far from Hodeida, a port controlled by the Houthis. Although the rebels did not immediately claim responsibility, they have previously targeted over 80 merchant vessels since October’s Gaza conflict escalation. These attacks have resulted in seized ships and casualties among sailors.
The Houthis argue their targets are linked to Israel, the U.S., or the U.K., aiming to pressure an end to Israel’s actions against Hamas in Gaza. However, many affected ships have little connection to these nations or conflicts, including some bound for Iran. A U.S.-led coalition has intercepted several missiles and drones intended for Western military vessels as well.
NETANYAHU SLAMS Iran’s "Axis Of Evil" After Deadly Attack
— Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned Iran’s “axis of evil” following a terrorist attack at the West Bank-Jordan border crossing that killed three Israelis. “It’s a hard day. A despicable terrorist murdered three of our citizens in cold blood at the Allenby Bridge,” Netanyahu stated, extending condolences to the victims’ families.
Netanyahu emphasized that Israel is surrounded by a murderous ideology led by Iran. He noted recent attacks where terrorists killed six hostages and three Israeli police officers, stressing that these killers aim to murder all Israelis indiscriminately.
The Israeli military reported that a gunman approached the Allenby Bridge Crossing from Jordan in a truck and opened fire before being killed in a shootout with Israeli security forces. The victims were identified as Israeli civilians, all men in their 50s, according to Israel’s Magen David Adom rescue service.
Jordan is investigating the incident, as reported by its state-run Petra News Agency. Meanwhile, Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri celebrated the attack and linked it to Israel’s offensive in Gaza, stating they expect more similar actions.
NETANYAHU VOWS Swift Justice After Hezbollah Attack Kills Children
— The Israeli response to Hezbollah’s rocket attack in Lebanon is imminent after the group targeted a children’s soccer field, killing 12 young people. Early Monday, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reportedly executed a drone strike in southern Lebanon, resulting in the deaths of two Hezbollah terrorists. The IDF has not commented on the strike.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a three-hour cabinet meeting on Sunday, authorizing him and his defense minister to determine the “manner and timing” of a military response. Danny Danon, Israel’s new ambassador to the United Nations, told “Fox and Friends” that Israel’s response will be “swift, harsh and painful,” but clarified there are no intentions for a full war.
Netanyahu visited Majdal Shams on Monday and announced that Israel’s response to the massacre “will come and it will be severe.” He expressed solidarity with the Druze Israeli community, emphasizing their shared grief. U.S. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken spoke with Israeli President Isaac Herzog about the situation on Monday as well.
TERRORIST ATTACK Foiled: Southern Israel on High Alert
— Security has been tightened in southern Israel since Hamas-led terrorists killed around 20 people on Oct. 7, sparking the Gaza war. On Monday, a suspect arrived at the entrance of Netiv HaAsara and threatened members of the community’s rapid response team with a knife. The team opened fire, stopping the attack.
Israeli Police are investigating the attempted terror attack near the Gaza border. The Israeli military confirmed one person was killed after trying to stab security forces. Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedics reported that no one was physically injured, though a 61-year-old woman suffered from shock.
The terrorist was identified as a Canadian citizen who accused the IDF of killing civilians in Gaza. The IDF confirmed that he came from within Israel rather than crossing from Gaza. This incident highlights ongoing tensions and security challenges in the region.
IRANIAN-BACKED Houthis Attack Ship in Gulf of Aden, Injure Mariner
— The Iranian-backed Houthis launched two anti-ship cruise missiles, striking the M/V Verbena in the Gulf of Aden off Yemen. The attack set the ship on fire and severely injured one civilian mariner. U.S. Central Command reported that the mariner was flown to another ship for medical treatment by a U.S. helicopter based on the USS Philippine Sea.
The M/V Verbena, a Palauan-flagged, Ukrainian-owned, and Polish-operated bulk cargo carrier, was en route from Malaysia to Italy carrying wood when it was attacked. Central Command confirmed that the crew is still fighting fires on board. This incident marks another escalation in the Houthis’ campaign amid the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Earlier reports from British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center and private security firm Ambrey indicated that a vessel had been attacked and caught fire after making a distress call about being struck by a missile. The Houthis typically delay claiming responsibility for such attacks by hours or even days.
This attack follows another incident where Houthis launched a boat-borne bomb against a commercial ship in the Red Sea on Wednesday. The rebels have been targeting shipping throughout this strategic corridor as part of their ongoing conflict with a Saudi-led coalition since seizing Yemen’s capital nearly ten years ago.
CYBER ATTACK Devastates London NHS Hospitals
— A ransomware attack by the group Qilin has crippled Synnovis, a key pathology lab service provider for several National Health Service hospitals. Ciaran Martin, former chief of the National Cyber Security Centre, called it one of the most serious attacks in the U.K. due to its disabling effect on operations.
The attack affected King’s College and Guy’s and St Thomas’ hospital trusts, impacting multiple hospitals and clinics across south London. A memo to staff labeled it a “critical incident,” noting significant disruptions to services like blood transfusions and leading to canceled or redirected procedures.
Synnovis Chief Executive Mark Dollar stated that they are still trying to understand what happened but offered no further comment. The incident has been reported to police as investigations continue into this severe disruption of healthcare services in London.
Ransomware attacks involve criminals using malware to paralyze computer systems and demanding money for their release. These attacks are highly disruptive and costly, affecting various sectors including healthcare, with most perpetrators operating from former Soviet states beyond Western legal reach.
HEARTBREAKING Gang Attack in Haiti Claims Lives of AMERICAN Missionaries
— Two American Christian missionaries, Davy and Natalie Lloyd, were killed by gang violence in Haiti on Thursday. Missouri State Rep. Ben Baker confirmed the tragic news, revealing that his daughter Natalie was among the victims. “My heart is broken in a thousand pieces,” Baker wrote on Facebook.
The couple had been serving with Missions In Haiti, Inc., a nonprofit founded by Davy’s parents, David and Alicia Lloyd. The organization has been active in Haiti since 2000. Davy and Natalie joined the mission after their marriage in June 2022.
According to Missions In Haiti, the attack occurred during a youth group gathering at church. The gang ambushed them with three trucks full of men. “Davy was taken to the house tied up and beat,” stated the nonprofit.
Rep. Baker urged for prayers for both his family and the Lloyd family during this devastating time. He expressed an overwhelming sense of loss and pain over social media, asking for strength from their community of supporters.
HORRIFIC London Sword Attack CLAIMS Young Life
— A 14-year-old boy has tragically died following a sword attack in East London. Chief Superintendent Stuart Bell announced the boy’s death, stating he was stabbed and passed away after urgent hospitalization. The family is currently being supported through this harrowing period.
In addition to the fatal attack on the young boy, two police officers and two civilians were also injured during the incident. Chief Superintendent Bell mentioned that while the officers sustained significant injuries, they were not life-threatening. The other victims are still in serious condition as they receive ongoing medical treatment.
An eyewitness described a disturbing scene where, after the assault, the suspect made a victory gesture by raising his arms, seemingly proud of his actions. This macabre detail highlights the brutality of the event. Authorities have detained a 36-year-old man in connection with this violent act.
Forensic teams are actively investigating at Hainault, near a local tube station where this appalling crime took place. As inquiries proceed, both community members and officials are trying to come to terms with this shocking burst of violence so close to their daily lives.
RUSSIA UNLEASHES Devastating Attack on Ukrainian Energy Sector: The Shocking Aftermath
— Russia has initiated a severe attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. This assault led to widespread power outages and claimed the lives of at least three individuals. The offensive, conducted under the cover of night using drones and rockets, targeted numerous power facilities, including Ukraine’s largest hydroelectric plant.
The Dnipro Hydroelectric Station was among those hit during the attacks. This station supplies electricity to Europe’s largest nuclear power plant — the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. The main 750-kilovolt line connecting these two vital installations was cut off during the assault, according to International Atomic Energy Agency head Rafael Grossi. However, a lower-power backup line is currently functioning.
The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is under Russian control and has been an ongoing concern due to potential nuclear accidents amid continuous conflict. Despite this alarming situation, Ukraine’s hydroelectric authority assures that there is no immediate threat of dam breach at the Dnipro Hydroelectric Station.
A breach could not only disrupt supplies to the nuclear plant but also potentially trigger severe flooding similar to last year’s incident when a major dam at Kakhovka collapsed. Ivan Fedorov, Zaporizhzhia regional governor reported one death and at least eight injuries resulting from Russia’s aggressive actions.
RUSSIA’S Unprecedented Attack: Ukraine’s Energy Sector Devastated, Widespread Outages Ensue
— In a shocking move, Russia launched a colossal strike on Ukraine’s electrical power infrastructure, targeting the country’s most significant hydroelectric plant among others. This assault led to sweeping power outages and claimed at least three lives, as confirmed by officials this Friday.
The Energy Minister of Ukraine, German Galushchenko painted a grim picture of the situation, describing the drone and rocket attacks as “the most severe onslaught on the Ukrainian energy sector in recent history.” He speculated that Russia aimed to inflict substantial disruption to Ukraine’s energy system akin to last year’s events.
The Dnipro Hydroelectric Station — a key electricity supplier to Europe’s largest nuclear power installation — Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant was set ablaze due to these attacks. The primary 750-kilovolt power line was severed while a lower-power backup line remains functional. Despite Russian occupation and ongoing skirmishes around the plant, officials assure there is no immediate threat of a nuclear disaster.
Thankfully, the dam at the hydroelectric station held strong against these attacks averting potential catastrophic flooding reminiscent of last year when Kakhovka dam gave way. However, this Russian attack did not pass without human cost — one person lost their life and at least eight suffered injuries.
US NAVY SAVES the Day: Huthi Missile Attack on Oil Tanker Thwarted
— The Huthis, a rebel group based in Yemen, announced that they had targeted a British oil tanker, named the Pollux, in the Red Sea using missiles. The US Central Command (CENTCOM), however, clarified that this vessel is actually Danish-owned and registered in Panama.
CENTCOM confirmed that from areas of Yemen under Huthi control, four anti-ship ballistic missiles were launched. It was reported that at least three of these missiles were directed towards MT Pollux.
In reaction to this looming threat, CENTCOM successfully executed two self-defence strikes against one mobile anti-ship cruise missile and one mobile unmanned surface vessel located in Yemen. This incident happened just as Washington’s reclassification of the Huthis as a terrorist group became official along with related sanctions.
This event underscores the importance of vigilance and quick action in maintaining security on international waters. It also highlights Washington’s commitment to combating terrorism globally.
Is Biden’s DRONE ATTACK Response Just a ‘Checklist’ Strategy? Waltz Slams Administration
— In an exclusive statement to Breitbart News, Rep. Mike Waltz openly criticized the Biden administration’s handling of a recent drone attack in Jordan. This devastating event led to the loss of three American lives and left 25 others injured. Waltz, who holds positions on several House committees and has a background as a Special Forces commander, voiced his concerns about Biden’s strategy.
Waltz accused the administration of prematurely revealing its intended response to Iran, thus eliminating any potential element of surprise. His comments were in reference to Biden’s announcement on Tuesday where he assured that he does not seek a broader conflict in the Middle East. According to Waltz, simply telling Iran “don’t” is not an effective strategy.
The Florida congressman suggested a three-pronged approach: targeting IRGC operatives instead of just proxies, enforcing sanctions to cut off Iran’s funding sources, and supporting Iranian citizens demanding change. He expressed concern that Biden is merely ticking off boxes with ineffective strikes that target warehouses rather than directly punishing the Iranian regime.
Waltz called for a return to Trump’s policy of maximum pressure on Iran’s economy coupled with robust military action. He reminded readers that under President Trump’s leadership, attacks ceased when Iran-backed terrorists dared kill an American.
US Troops UNDER ATTACK: Iran-Backed Militias Blamed for Deadly Drone Strike
— A devastating drone attack in Jordan, which tragically claimed the lives of three U.S. service members, has been attributed to the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an organization supported by Iran. The assault also resulted in injuries for at least 40 troops stationed at Tower 22, a covert base vital to American operations in Syria. This alarming incident unfolds as President Joe Biden weighs his retaliatory options.
In a stern warning, Iran vowed to “respond decisively” if the U.S. takes action against Tehran for the attack. John Kirby, spokesman for the National Security Council, confirmed that this premeditated strike was orchestrated by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq and included involvement from militant group Kataib Hezbollah.
Kirby dismissed an announcement from Kataib Hezbollah about halting military operations against occupation forces as untrustworthy. He stressed that they are not alone in launching attacks on U.S forces. Amid this escalating situation, President Biden is set to attend a solemn ceremony honoring fallen troops at Dover Air Force Base this Friday.
Additional American strikes could potentially intensify tensions within an already unstable region struggling with Israel’s ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza since
CHEMICAL ATTACK Accusations at Columbia: Israeli Soldiers in the Eye of Storm
— Columbia University finds itself in a storm after two student groups, “Students for Justice in Palestine” and “Jewish Voice for Peace”, levelled accusations against Israeli soldiers. The soldiers, who are also students at the university, were accused of using a “chemical weapon” known as “skunk spray” during a protest. Pending an investigation into these allegations, the accused individuals have been temporarily barred from campus.
The accusing student groups had previously faced suspension by the university due to repeated violations of protest policies. Critics argue that Columbia has not been stringent enough when it comes to enforcing these suspensions. An unnamed student voiced their disappointment to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency saying: “The university is turning a blind eye...it’s just disappointing.”
Despite no arrests being made following a police report on the alleged chemical attack, protests continued on campus. Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David M Friedman expressed his dismay on Twitter: “Permitting a protest right in the middle of your campus advocating for Israel’s destruction by violent revolution? I am sickened by this!”
This incident has ignited heated discussions about balancing free speech rights with safety concerns on college campuses across America.
GAZA CONFLICT Escalates: 21 Israeli Soldiers Dead, Calls for Cease-Fire Intensify
— In a devastating turn of events, Palestinian militants in Gaza have orchestrated the deadliest single attack on Israeli forces since the war began. This assault, resulting in the death of 21 soldiers, has amplified calls for an immediate cease-fire.
The Israeli military confirmed that their ground forces have encircled Khan Younis, Gaza’s second-largest city. Additionally, reports suggest that Israeli tanks and troops have infiltrated Muwasi – an area previously considered safe for Palestinians.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed deep sorrow over the loss of the soldiers but remained resolute in his commitment to achieving “absolute victory.” This includes defeating Hamas and liberating over 100 Israeli hostages held captive by militants. However, these ambitious war objectives are now being scrutinized by Israelis who question their feasibility.
An unidentified senior Egyptian official disclosed that Israel proposed a two-month cease-fire plan. The proposal included freeing hostages in exchange for releasing imprisoned Palestinians and allowing top Hamas leaders in Gaza to relocate. Despite this offer, Hamas remains steadfast in its refusal to release any more hostages until Israel ceases its offensive and withdraws from Gaza.
LEBANON STRIKES: Hezbollah’s Deadly Missile Attack Rattles Israel Amidst Gaza Conflict
— A lethal anti-tank missile, launched from Lebanon, claimed the lives of two civilians in northern Israel this past Sunday. This alarming incident has ignited concerns over a potential second front emerging amidst the ongoing clash between Israel and Hamas.
This strike marks a grim milestone — the 100th day of a war that has tragically taken nearly 24,000 Palestinian lives and forced approximately 85% of Gaza’s population from their homes. The conflict was sparked by an unexpected Hamas incursion into southern Israel last October, leading to around 1,200 fatalities and roughly 250 hostages.
The region remains on edge as daily fire exchanges persist between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah group. Meanwhile, Iranian-backed militias target U.S. interests in Syria and Iraq as Yemen’s Houthi rebels threaten international shipping lanes.
Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, remains defiant vowing to persist until a Gaza cease-fire is established. His declaration comes as countless Israelis evacuate northern border regions due to escalating aggression.
IOWA SCHOOL Shooting: Innocent Lives Lost in Heart-Wrenching Attack, Community in Shock
— A day of learning turned into a nightmare when a 17-year-old student unleashed gunfire at Perry High School in Iowa. The first day back from winter break was marred by the death of a sixth-grader and injuries to five others, including the school’s principal, Dan Marburger. The shooter, Dylan Butler, also died due to what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The tranquil town of Perry, home to approximately 8,000 people and situated about 40 miles northwest of Des Moines, was plunged into turmoil by the shocking incident. Families were reunited at the McCreary Community Building after the shooting that has left this close-knit community devastated.
Authorities disclosed that during his assault Butler was armed with both a pump-action shotgun and a small-caliber handgun. A crude homemade explosive device was also discovered on-site but was safely deactivated by authorities.
This latest episode of gun violence once again puts America’s gun ownership rights under the microscope. As such events persistently occur nationwide, they cast an ever-growing shadow over other fundamental rights.
UKRAINE’S Crushing Blow: Russian Warship Decimated by Air-Launched Missile Attack
— On Christmas Day, Ukraine demonstrated its formidable military might. The country claimed a significant victory, saying it had annihilated another Russian warship, the Ropucha-class Novocherkassk, using an air-launched cruise missile. Russia confirmed the assault on their landing ship from the 1980s, which is comparable in size to the U.S.-made Freedom-class warship. They reported one casualty from this attack.
Lieutenant General Mykola Oleshchuk of the Ukrainian Air Force praised his pilots’ exceptional performance. He observed that Russia’s naval fleet continues to dwindle in size.
Yurii Ihnat, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian armed forces, disclosed further details about this strike. He revealed that fighter jets unleashed a volley of Anglo-French Storm Shadow / SCALP cruise missiles at their target. Their goal was for at least one missile to bypass Russian air defenses successfully. The magnitude of the resulting explosion indicated that onboard ammunition likely detonated.
Ukrainian state media circulated footage allegedly showing a massive explosion and towering fire column following the initial hit — evidence suggesting onboard ammunition
US-Israeli Citizen’s TRAGIC Death: BIDEN’S Heartfelt Response to Hamas Attack
— On Friday, President Joe Biden extended his condolences following the death of Gad Haggai, a dual US-Israeli citizen. It is believed that Haggai fell victim to Hamas during their initial terrorist attack on October 7.
Biden expressed deep sadness over the incident, stating, “Jill and I are heartbroken... We continue to pray for the well-being and safe return of his wife, Judy.” He further revealed that the couple’s daughter was part of a recent conference call with families of hostages.
Referring to their experiences as a “harrowing ordeal”, Biden reassured these families and other loved ones. He pledged that efforts to rescue those still held hostage would persist. This story is still unfolding.
AMERICAN Hostages TRAPPED: 71 Days into Hamas’s Horrific Attack on Israel
— It’s now been 71 days since the devastating attack by Hamas on Israel. This brutal onslaught led to an immediate death toll of around 1,200 and roughly 240 abductions. Among those still unaccounted for are eight Americans, believed to be held captive by the terrorist group since the early October incident.
Among the missing are Judith Weinstein and Gad Haggai, a senior couple from Kibbutz Nir Oz near Gaza. They were enjoying a peaceful morning walk when disaster struck on October 7th. Their daughter, Iris Weinstein Haggai has shared her painful experience since her parents vanished without a trace.
Weinstein Haggai is relentlessly coordinating with various governments in an effort to secure the release of the hostages. She describes her situation as having a “split heart,” struggling to maintain normalcy for her children while grappling with anxiety over her parents’ unknown fate.
USS MASON Bravely Defends Against Pirate Attack and Dodges Yemeni Missiles: A New Threat on the Horizon?
— In a daring act of valor, the USS Mason responded to a distress call from commercial vessel M/V Central Park. The Mason successfully defended against an attack by five armed pirates. After attempting to flee, the pirates were pursued and apprehended by the Mason’s crew. The Pentagon has suggested that these pirates are likely of Somali origin, not Houthi.
As the rescue operation was winding down, two ballistic missiles were launched from areas in Yemen under Houthi control. These missiles landed approximately 10 nautical miles away from both the USS Mason and M/V Central Park. Fortunately, no damage or injuries have been reported.
This missile attack could signify an escalation of aggression by Iran-backed forces towards U.S. assets in this region. While there has been a recent increase in drone and missile attacks on U.S bases and troops stationed in Iraq and Syria by Iran-backed groups, this marks a new development with ballistic missiles being directed at U.S ships.
The vessel under attack, M/V Central Park flies under Liberia’s flag but is managed by an Israeli firm owned by Israel’s Ofer
IRAN’S Death March: Over 100 Lives Silenced Since Hamas Attack
— Since the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7, Iran has silenced over a hundred lives, drawing global scrutiny. This alarming surge in executions, referred to as Tehran’s “execution spree,” was spotlighted by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) on November 15, 2023.
The NCRI revealed this disturbing trend while the United Nations General Assembly’s Third Committee was contemplating a resolution to condemn Iran’s human rights abuses. Despite numerous UN rebukes for their “systematic and widespread violation of human rights,” the Iranian regime remains undeterred in its brutal execution campaign.
The council implored the international community to isolate Iran as a response to these heinous actions. The NCRI denounced any form of appeasement with Iran, notorious for its record-breaking executions and warmongering activities. They argued that such tolerance clearly contradicts international human rights standards.
Independent news outlet Al-Monitor reported that since October 7, Iran has executed 114 people for “fabricated crimes,” including vague charges like “corruption on Earth” and “enmity against God.” While the NCRI estimates slightly fewer executions at around 107 so far, they anticipate this number will continue to escalate in the coming days and weeks. This grim situation emphasizes an urgent call-to-action against Iran’s ongoing human rights
FINAL FAREWELL: French-Israeli Woman’s Joyful Dance at Festival Turns into Horrific Terror Attack
— Karin Journo, a 24-year-old French-Israeli airport worker, had initially planned to skip the Tribe of Nova music festival due to a broken leg. But when she learned her friends were going to celebrate a farewell party for one of them moving stateside, she couldn’t resist joining in.
Despite her injury and protective boot, Journo was captured on video dancing with joy at the festival. The mood shifted dramatically as Hamas militants launched their deadly assault on the festival grounds. Subsequent footage revealed a worried Journo seeking shelter behind a vehicle.
In her last moments, Journo sent an ominous text message at 8:43 Saturday morning. Her father Doron shared its contents: "To the whole family, I want to say that I love you a lot because I am not coming home.” This would be her final words before tragically losing her life in this savage attack.
BRUTAL HAMAS Attack on Israeli Music Festival: An Unprecedented Horror Revealed
— This past weekend, the Supernova music festival in southern Israel fell victim to a savage attack by Hamas militants. This brutal assault marked one of the first targets and resulted in widespread devastation across several towns. The attack led to at least 260 deaths, making it one of the most deadly civilian incidents in Israel’s history.
ABC News collected accounts from survivors and relatives of the missing to reconstruct this chilling event. They scrutinized and authenticated witness videos as well as security footage. Numerous festival attendees also contributed their experiences and original cell phone videos.
The pandemonium erupted just after sunrise at 6:40 a.m., signaled by initial rocket trails streaking across the sky. As crowds tried to escape by car, roads quickly became jam-packed and impassable. One witness reported close-range fire from Hamas militants while fleeing via the main road north—a claim backed up by images of their bullet-riddled vehicle.
ABC News has confirmed video evidence that emphasizes the intentional nature of this attack on Supernova. This episode marks a bleak moment in Israel’s history, spotlighting an escalating conflict with potentially wide-ranging implications.
REVEALED: Hamas SHOCKING Deception — Secret Attack Plans on Israel While ‘Governing’ Gaza
— In a recent Russian TV interview, senior Hamas official, Ali Baraka, dropped a bombshell. He revealed that while the group projected an image of governance and concern for the welfare of 2.5 million Palestinians in Gaza, they were secretly planning attacks on Israel for years.
Baraka confirmed their deceptive tactics. While appearing to be engrossed in governance, they were covertly preparing for a large-scale assault. He boasted that their rockets could target all parts of Palestine and even bragged about bombing Tel Aviv on the first day of their attack.
This startling admission has put Israeli intelligence under intense scrutiny for failing to foresee this surprise attack. Baraka’s statements have exposed Hamas’ duplicitous strategies and underscored their readiness to sacrifice themselves in what they believe is a defense of their land.

AMERICAN in Critical Condition After HEZBOLLAH Rocket Attack on Israel
— Retired Gen. Yaakov Amidror, former national security adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, discussed the potential for war between Israel and Hezbollah with Fox News Digital. Hezbollah fired around 50 rockets into northern Israel on Sunday, injuring an American citizen and two Israelis. The American is in critical condition.
Hezbollah has launched over 200 rockets and drones into Israel’s north since last week. Amidror emphasized that while Israel does not expect American troops to fight for them, they need U.S. support in the form of munitions. “We need a constant flow of munitions to allow us to conduct the war,” he said.
When asked if Israel is prepared for a war with Hezbollah, Amidror stated that complete preparation is impossible but affirmed that Israel has enough resources to wage such a war effectively. He noted that more time after the Gaza conflict would improve their situation by allowing restocking of supplies and troop recovery.
Hezbollah’s attacks follow Hamas’ invasion of Israel on October 7, which resulted in nearly 1,200 deaths, including over 30 Americans. The ongoing rocket attacks from Hezbollah have intensified tensions in the region significantly.
