ISRAEL’S Bold Response: Striking Down Houthi Threats

19 December 2024 — The Houthis launched their seventh ballistic missile at ISRAEL, along with five drone attacks in recent weeks. Sirens blared in Tel Aviv early morning as shrapnel threatened the area. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.

Israel responded swiftly to the Houthi aggression. The IDF, under Defense Minister Israel Katz’s approval, targeted military sites in Yemen with airstrikes and naval operations. These strikes aimed to dismantle the Houthis’ military capabilities and prevent further threats.

The IDF stated that most of the Houthi-launched projectiles had been intercepted successfully. The targets hit were crucial for military operations and weapon smuggling facilitated by Iran and Iraqi militias. This collaboration aims to destabilize the region and threaten Israeli civilians.

Israel remains steadfast in defending its citizens against any threats posed by hostile forces like the Houthis, backed by Iran’s support. The IDF is committed to neutralizing dangers wherever necessary to ensure national security and regional stability.

ISRAELI TROOPS Reclaim Strategic Mount Hermon Peak: A Bold Move

08 December 2024 — Israel has made a bold move by returning troops to the peak of Mount Hermon, a strategic location in the region. This is the first time Israeli forces have been on the mountain’s summit since the Yom Kippur War in 1973. The mountain is vital due to its height and military importance.

During the Yom Kippur War, Syria and Egypt launched a surprise attack on Israel, capturing an Israeli base lower on Mount Hermon. Despite initial setbacks, Israel reclaimed both Syrian and Israeli positions through intense battles involving paratroopers landing at the peak. The conflict ended with Israel returning Syria’s base as part of a peace agreement.

Today, a memorial stands on Mount Hermon’s slopes honoring Golani brigade soldiers who fell during that war. This recent troop movement highlights ongoing tensions and strategic interests in this historically contested area between Israel and Syria.

ISRAEL’S Unbreakable Spirit: Rebuilding After Tragedy

28 November 2024 — Raemer, an Israeli resident originally from the Bronx, plans to rebuild her kibbutz despite recent attacks. She believes ISRAEL remains the safest place for Jews. Her determination shows a deep sense of belonging and ownership over her homeland.

Raemer survived the October 7th attack, which was the worst mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust. Despite this tragedy, she maintains faith in Israel’s defense forces. She acknowledges their failure but expects accountability and improvement from them.

Her perspective highlights a broader sentiment among Israelis who choose to stay and rebuild rather than flee. This resilience is rooted in a belief that safety comes from self-defense and controlling one’s destiny.

Raemer notes that rebuilding is harder for those whose homes were directly invaded by terrorists, as those memories linger indefinitely.

BRAVE Israeli Woman EXPOSES Hamas’ Horrific Crimes at UN

24 October 2024 — Amit Soussana, the first Israeli woman to speak openly about sexual violence by Hamas, addressed the United Nations. She was taken from Kibbutz Kfar Aza on October 7, 2023. Her testimony coincided with the 15th anniversary of the U.N.'s mandate on sexual violence in conflicts.

Soussana described her life before as simple and private. She worked as an attorney and lived quietly in a kibbutz. Everything changed when Hamas terrorists invaded her home during Simchat Torah, a Jewish holiday. She vividly recalled missiles launching and gunfire approaching before being forcibly taken to Gaza by armed men.

For 55 days, she endured horrific experiences until her release in late November 2023 through a hostage deal with Hamas. Soussana’s account highlights systematic sexual violence committed by Hamas during their October assault on Israel. Her courage aims to bring international attention to these atrocities at the U.N event.

DRONE STRIKE Threatens Israel: Netanyahu’s Defiant Response

20 October 2024 — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Hezbollah after an alleged assassination attempt on him and his wife. He called it a “grave mistake” and vowed that it would not deter Israel from its objectives. Netanyahu emphasized that Israel will continue its fight against enemies to secure its future.

Netanyahu issued a stern warning to Iran and the “Axis of Resistance,” including Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis. He stated that anyone attempting to harm Israeli citizens would face severe consequences. The prime minister reaffirmed Israel’s commitment to achieving its war goals following the Oct. 7 attack, aiming for long-term regional security changes.

He declared that Israel will eliminate terrorists and those who support them while ensuring hostages’ return from Gaza. Netanyahu also promised safety for citizens living on the northern border with Lebanon. “Together, we will fight, and with God’s help – together, we will win,” he concluded in his statement.

TRUMP’S Unwavering Support For Israel Cheered At GOP Convention

17 July 2024 — Matt Brooks, CEO of the Republican Jewish Coalition, spoke passionately at the 2024 Republican National Convention. He emphasized Trump’s strong support for Israel and criticized Biden’s foreign policy failures. “Let me hear you cheer if you support Israel!” Brooks urged, drawing loud cheers from the crowd.

Brooks contrasted the GOP’s stance with that of Democrats, claiming a pro-Israel speech would be booed at their convention. Attendees proudly displayed Israeli flags as Brooks highlighted Trump’s achievements, including moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and delivering the Abraham Accords.

The convention celebrated Trump’s formal nomination as the Republican presidential candidate alongside running mate J.D. Vance. This event followed a failed assassination attempt on Trump just days earlier, adding to the triumphalist atmosphere in Milwaukee.

Republicans aim to leverage dissatisfaction within the Jewish community over Biden’s perceived lack of support for Israel and tolerance of antisemitism on campuses and in cities. “This election is a critical moment for the American Jewish community,” Brooks stated, urging voters to continue Trump’s pro-Israel legacy and repair U.S.-Israel relations after what he described as four disastrous years under Biden.

ISRAEL RESCUES Hostages: Daring IDF Operation Saves Lives

08 June 2024 — The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) successfully rescued four hostages captured by Hamas during the October 7 attacks. This marks the largest hostage recovery operation since the war with Hamas began in Gaza. The hostages, held for 246 days, included Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Shlomi Ziv, and Andrey Kozlov.

The rescue operation targeted two Hamas buildings above ground. Noa Argamani’s abduction had become a symbol of the October 7 Hamas terror attack, with footage of her kidnapping widely circulated.

The IDF shared a video showing the dramatic moment they freed three of the four hostages. This successful mission underscores Israel’s commitment to bringing its citizens home safely from terrorist captivity.

ISRAEL RESCUES Hostages in Daring Gaza Operation

08 June 2024 — Israel conducted its largest hostage rescue operation since the latest conflict with Hamas began, freeing four individuals from central Gaza. The military raid in Nuseirat resulted in the rescue of Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv. All hostages were taken for medical checks and reunited with their families after 246 days in captivity.

The operation was marked by heavy air and ground assaults, leading to significant casualties among Palestinians. At least 94 Palestinians were reported dead, including children, with over 100 wounded brought to local hospitals. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant praised the mission as “daring” and “brilliantly executed.”

Noa Argamani’s abduction had drawn widespread attention due to a video showing her screaming for her life during her capture at a music festival. Her mother’s plea for her release had also garnered significant media coverage. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to continue fighting until all hostages are freed.

The aftermath saw nearly 100 Palestinian bodies taken to Al-Aqsa Hospital amid ongoing military activity in the area. AP reporters witnessed the grim scene as smoke rose and armored vehicles moved through Nuseirat and Deir al-Balah areas. The conflict continues to exact a heavy toll on both sides as Israel remains committed to securing its citizens from terrorist threats.

IHF Delegation BRAVELY Visits WAR-Torn Gaza Periphery

26 May 2024 — The Israel Heritage Foundation (IHF) delegation, led by Rabbi David Katz and Dr. Joseph Frager, visited the Gaza periphery where the IDF is battling Hamas. They also toured the grounds of the Nova music festival, where hundreds were brutally killed and kidnapped.

At Kfar Aza, a kibbutz in southern Israel, over 60 civilians were slaughtered and 17 taken captive on October 7, 2023. Founded by Holocaust survivors in 1974, IHF aims to strengthen Israel’s security while combating bigotry and antisemitism.

Delegation members saw bullet-ridden homes and destroyed vehicles while hearing stories from survivors and families of those kidnapped. Ron, an IDF spokesperson, recounted harrowing tales from that fateful day to the group.

The group also visited an iron dome battery site and Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital to meet with wounded Israeli soldiers. Their visit aimed to offer support and encouragement during these challenging times.

ISRAEL DEFENDS Citizens: Destroys Hamas Rocket Launchers

22 May 2024 — The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced the destruction of multi-barrel rocket launchers in Rafah. These launchers were aimed at Israeli territory and posed a significant threat. The IDF located and neutralized the sites along the Philadelphi Corridor.

The operation underscores Israel’s need to control Rafah to eliminate Hamas battalions and secure the border. Rockets from Rafah have previously targeted the Keren Shalom crossing, a vital entry point for humanitarian aid between Israel and Gaza.

The IDF remains committed to targeting terror threats in Rafah to protect Israeli citizens. “We will continue our operations against terror targets,” stated an IDF spokesperson on Twitter.

ISRAEL DEFIES US Warnings, Ramps Up Military Strike in Gaza’s Rafah

12 May 2024 — Israel has escalated its military actions in Rafah, Gaza, despite U.S. cautions. The Israeli military ordered tens of thousands to leave the area immediately. Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari confirmed that the operations targeted and eliminated numerous militants. This aggressive stance persists even amid international concerns about rising civilian casualties and disruptions to humanitarian aid efforts.

Global protests have ignited as Israel alleges Hamas militants are consolidating in northern Gaza following seven months of ongoing conflict. The United Nations warns that intensifying military activities in Rafah might severely impact humanitarian initiatives and increase civilian fatalities. The closure of the Rafah border crossing complicates aid delivery, heightening regional tensions further.

President Joe Biden has explicitly denied supplying offensive weaponry for operations in Rafah, pointing to credible evidence that Israel might be violating international laws designed to protect civilians during conflict situations. On the other hand, Israeli authorities maintain they adhere strictly to these laws and have implemented advanced warning systems to reduce civilian casualties before launching operations

The crisis deepens as over 1.4 million Palestinians find themselves displaced within Rafah’s confines due to recent evacuations moving populations into areas already heavily affected by conflict. Aid organizations are overwhelmed trying to manage under these challenging circumstances.

ISRAEL Stands Firm: CEASE-Fire Talks with Hamas HIT a Wall

05 May 2024 — The latest cease-fire talks in Cairo between Israel and Hamas have ended without any agreement. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is standing firm against global pressure to stop military actions, calling Hamas’s demands “extreme.” Defense Minister Yoav Gallant accused Hamas of not being serious about peace and hinted that Israel might step up its military actions in Gaza soon.

During the discussions, Hamas emphasized that stopping Israeli aggression is their top priority. Despite some initial signs of progress, the situation remains tense with ongoing threats to peace efforts. Notably, Israel did not send a delegation to the recent negotiations, while Hamas consulted with intermediaries in Qatar before returning to Cairo for more talks.

In another development, Israel has shut down Al Jazeera’s local offices, accusing the network of anti-Israel incitement. This action has drawn attention from Netanyahu’s government but does not affect Al Jazeera’s operations in Gaza or the West Bank. Meanwhile, CIA chief William Burns plans to meet with regional leaders to try and mediate the conflict.

The closure of Al Jazeera’s offices and upcoming meetings by CIA chief William Burns highlight the complex dynamics at play as international actors seek ways to stabilize the region amidst ongoing tensions between Israel and Hamas.

GAZA OFFENSIVE: Israel’s Grim Milestone and Netanyahu’s Unwavering Stance

21 February 2024 — The ongoing military campaign in Gaza, led by Israel, has resulted in a staggering 29,000 Palestinian casualties since October 7. This grim milestone marks one of the deadliest assaults in recent memory. Despite international outcry, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains unyielding in his stance, pledging to persist until Hamas is completely defeated.

The offensive was initiated as a counterstrike to an attack by Hamas militants on Israeli communities earlier this month. The Israeli military is now planning to advance into Rafah — a town bordering Egypt where more than half of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents have sought shelter from the conflict.

Attempts by the United States — Israel’s primary ally — and other nations such as Egypt and Qatar to negotiate a cease-fire and hostage release agreement have hit a roadblock recently. Relations have been further strained with Netanyahu encouraging Qatar to exert pressure on Hamas while insinuating that it financially supports the militant organization.

The conflict has also sparked regular fire exchanges between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah group. On Monday, Israeli forces launched at least two strikes near Sidon — a major city in southern Lebanon — in retaliation for a drone explosion near Tiberias in northern Israel.

Hamas TERROR Unleashed: Vulnerable ISRAELI Family’s Nightmare Amid Hostage Crisis

05 December 2023 — Eyal Barad and his family faced a chilling ordeal during a Hamas attack. Taking shelter in their safe room in Nir Oz, Israel, they were forced into silence as armed intruders prowled outside. The cries of Barad’s autistic daughter risked giving away their hiding place, pushing him to contemplate extreme measures for survival.

This incident unfolded on October 7th amidst the Israel-Gaza war. Hamas militants brutally killed and captured a significant portion of Nir Oz’s inhabitants. An examination of residents’ messages and security footage indicates that Hamas had intentionally aimed at civilians — a disturbing change in strategy that greatly impacted the war’s trajectory.

The recent liberation of Israeli hostages has cast fresh light on this frightful day. The lack of Israeli military presence coupled with the capture and killing of defenseless citizens highlighted Israel’s vulnerability. Over 100 Palestinian militants departed Nir Oz with approximately 80 residents — nearly half of all released Israelis and one-third of all hostages taken.

Today, Nir Oz symbolizes this vulnerability as over 30 residents are still presumed to be captives in Gaza. This unprecedented operation by Hamas underscores its new hostage

ISRAEL and HAMAS Ink Unprecedented Cease-Fire Deal: Hostages Set for Liberation

22 November 2023 — Israel and Hamas have reached a temporary truce, which entails a hostage release arrangement, as verified by Fox News. The Israeli administration has pledged to ensure the safe return of all hostages, beginning with at least 50 women and children. For every subsequent set of ten hostages freed, an additional day of peace will be granted.

The cease-fire was officially declared following confirmation from Israeli and Hamas leaders that negotiations were nearing completion. Qatari mediators played a vital role in securing the agreement, which is scheduled to commence at 10 a.m. local time on Thursday.

As part of this agreement, Israel’s military will temporarily suspend its pursuit of Hamas for humanitarian reasons. Concurrently, Hamas has consented to free dozens of hostages as Israel agrees to release Palestinian prisoners at a ratio of three-to-one.

During its October 7th terror attack, Hamas seized roughly 240 hostages from Israel. The terror group claimed it had captured enough hostages — including Israelis, Americans and other foreign nationals — with the goal of liberating all Palestinians in Israel.

AMERICAN COWBOYS Gallop to the Rescue of Israeli Farms: A Heartwarming Tale of International Solidarity

13 November 2023 — A group of four American cowboys, including John Plocher and Yosef “Yoss” Strain from Montana, have captured hearts worldwide with their mission to support Israeli farming communities in the West Bank. Their journey kicked off on November 6th. Images showcasing their cowboy hats at JFK Airport and later at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv swiftly made rounds on various social media sites.

These cowboys are volunteering for Operation Ittai, a project spearheaded by Christian volunteer organization HaYovel. Named after a foreigner who stood by King David in biblical times, this operation seeks to bolster “Judea and Samaria,” regions more widely recognized as the West Bank.

Joshua Waller, HaYovel’s operations director, informed Fox News Digital about the pivotal role these cowboys are playing. They are delivering supplies and machinery to aid smaller farms left exposed after many Israeli reservists were summoned for military duty.

Waller highlighted that although much-needed assistance has been concentrated on areas severely affected during Hamas’s October 7 attacks, other regions in Israel face hardships too. He underscored the significance of extending a helping hand to these farmers whose livelihoods hang in balance.

ISRAEL CRUSHES Hamas: Unearths Valuable Intel Amidst Terrorist Takedown

03 November 2023 — Israel successfully seized control of a Hamas stronghold in Jabaliya, eliminating around 50 terrorists during the operation. This strategic move coincided with an airstrike on a high-ranking Hamas commander, leading to the collapse of several underground tunnels.

The global community has criticized Israel for allegedly targeting a “refugee camp”. However, these so-called camps are frequently utilized by Hamas for their operations. These are not newly established tent cities for displaced individuals but dense residential areas settled by Palestinian refugees following the Arab-Israeli wars in 1948 and 1967.

Upon capturing the stronghold, Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) discovered crucial intelligence data. This includes operational orders and personal details of Hamas commanders and terrorists. The IDF is currently analyzing this information to aid in future counter-terrorism efforts.

The IDF has publicized photos displaying some of the materials uncovered during their operation within the stronghold.

REP VAN Orden’s Heroic Journey in Israel: The Truth Behind the Frontlines

01 November 2023 — On a solo mission, Rep. Van Orden faced the stark realities confronting Israelis daily. His guide was Rabbi David Katz, head of the Israel Heritage Foundation (IHF). This nonprofit works tirelessly to reinforce Israel’s sovereignty and fight antisemitism.

The pair toured significant locations such as Magen David Adom, Israel’s emergency medical service; Yad Vashem, the official Holocaust Museum; and the historic Western Wall. Rabbi Katz shared a moving story about a young soldier named Danny whose life was irrevocably changed after an attack by Hamas terrorists.

Danny was left helpless for over eight hours after being shot in the foot by a Hamas terrorist. By the time he reached hospital, his foot had to be amputated due to oxygen deprivation and blood loss.

Rep. Van Orden expressed his admiration for Magen David Adom (MDA) during his visit. He personally thanked each dispatcher and even donated blood, demonstrating his dedication to positively impacting MDA and IDF.

NEW Speaker Johnson’s BOLD Pledge: Strong Support for Israel, Fierce Condemnation of Hamas

29 October 2023 — In his inaugural public appearance as Speaker, Johnson made an impassioned pledge of unwavering support for Israel while denouncing the Palestinian terror group Hamas. The tales of survival from Israelis who endured Hamas attacks deeply affected him, leading him to label the group as “demonic”.

Johnson steps into the shoes of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), a well-known ally of Israel, and promises to carry on this legacy. He highlighted that his first resolution was in favor of Israel and that he made it a point to meet with the Republican Jewish Coalition on his initial trip.

He expressed concern over anti-Israel sentiments within the House’s Democratic Party caucus, attributing these views to an alarming rise in antisemitism within Congress, universities, and even media outlets. Johnson had a stern message for the UN: peace will only be achieved when Hamas no longer poses a threat to Israel.

Deeply rooted in religious faith and guided by Biblical teachings that link blessings with support for Israel, Johnson emphasized the crucial role of U.S.-Israel alliance. He confidently declared his conviction that both America and Israel have yet more chapters to add to their storied histories.
