IDF STRIKES Back: Unveils Hamas’ Dark Underbelly Beneath Hospitals, Refutes Accusations of Targeting Medical Facilities
— The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have initiated a joint air and ground operation against the Hamas military quarter in Gaza City. This district, situated near Shifa Hospital, has been exploited by Hamas as an underground base and torture chamber for over ten years. Moreover, the IDF has exposed evidence of Hamas tunnels beneath additional hospitals and rocket launches in close proximity to healthcare facilities.
In the wake of this IDF operation, global media outlets have pointed fingers at Israel for allegedly targeting Shifa Hospital and causing fatalities there. However, the IDF has rebuffed these claims, asserting that any damage to Shifa resulted from stray Palestinian projectiles. They referenced a similar episode where a misguided Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket struck al-Ahli Baptist Hospital’s parking area earlier in the conflict.
Daniel Hagari, IDF Spokesperson, reassured on Israeli television that Shifa Hospital was not under threat. He further stated that Israel was aiding evacuations from the eastern side of the building despite ongoing skirmishes to its west. In addition to this assurance, the head of Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) issued an Arabic message confirming that anyone wishing to leave could do so freely as no hospital was under “siege”.

IDF STRIKES Hezbollah: Major Airstrikes Rock Lebanon
— On Saturday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched major airstrikes against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. The IDF targeted 400 sites, including rocket launchers ready for activation.
The IDF reported hitting about 290 targets with thousands of launcher barrels and other terrorist infrastructure. Later in the day, another series of strikes hit around 110 Hezbollah targets.
Hezbollah responded by firing at Israeli communities in the north. Between 6:24 and 7:00 AM, about 85 projectiles crossed into Israeli territory. Some were intercepted while others caused fires in Kiryat Bialik, Moreshet, and other areas.
Later sirens sounded again as approximately 20 more projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon into Israel’s Jezreel Valley area. Most were intercepted or fell in open areas without causing injuries. The IDF remains committed to dismantling Hezbollah’s capabilities.

HOCHUL’S Shocking Admission: State’s “Ethnic Cleansing” of Native Kids Exposed
— New York Governor Kathy Hochul has apologized to the Seneca Nation and other Native groups for the state’s abuse of children at government-run boarding schools. She admitted New York separated kids from their families, erased their language and culture, and allowed years of mistreatment from 1875 to 1957.
Hochul called these actions “sanctioned ethnic cleansing” in a speech on Seneca land. This was the first time a New York governor visited these grounds. Seneca Nation President J. Conrad Seneca said the apology was an “important reckoning,” but not all Native leaders were satisfied.
Some tribal leaders said words are not enough and want real action to help families still hurting from these schools’ legacy. They urged Hochul to back up her apology with support for healing efforts and community programs.
This move follows similar apologies by national leaders, including President Biden in 2024, as officials face this painful part of America’s past head-on. Conservatives may wonder if more apologies will lead to real change or just more empty promises from politicians like Hochul.
