 Israel at war day 442

- Houthi missle strike on Tel Aviv on Friday night, the Houthi terrorist group in Yemen launched yet another ballistic missile at Israel. The IDF launched Arrow and David's Sling interceptors but failed to intercept the missile, and it made a direct impact in a playground in Ramat Gan. Over a dozen civilians were lightly injured, including a 3-year old girl, mostly from shattered glass, and were all treated and released from the hospital. There was significant property damage from the strike and the Houthis have vowed to not only continue their launches, but to increase their regularity.

- Israel says Hamas has yet to give list of living hostages to be released other reports indicate that Hamas gave a list of 34 hostages that will be returned and a list of terrorists that Israel should free.

- Netanyahu interview with WSJ: “I’m not going to agree to end the war in Gaza before we remove Hamas, we’re not going to leave them in power in Gaza, 30 miles from Tel Aviv. It’s not going to happen.”

- Lebanese Al-Mayadeen channel reported today that the IDF has established 7 new outposts within the buffer zone along the ceasefire line in the Damascus, Quneitra and Daraa provinces. 

- More Details on pager operation: Yaron Avraham (Channel 12) revealed that when Hezbollah was looking for a "reinforced" pager unit that could withstand harsh conditions, the Mossad recognized this as a unique opportunity.
In a meeting with PM Netanyahu, the Mossad chief presented an innovative device developed specifically for this purpose. In response, Netanyahu forcefully slammed the pager against the wall to test it. The pager remained unharmed, but a small hole remained in the wall.

  3. "You have a better plan ?"Yes
    As emphatically stated here in Oct/Nov '23
    there will/can be only a single possible realistic solution: Deportation of a significant percentage of the Gaza population.Whether Israel would be male adult enough for that was then & remains conjecture.
    As for those who typically like Israelis themselves will cast around to the outside world for the impossibility of that.Note :15 months ago most of what Israel has since accomplished was just as unlikely to many of you & just as denigrated due to "the world wo
    ould never permit it"
    But Israel-unusually for itself in the circumstances-chose to stand up as a firm adult

    1. Deport them to where? How? Even if they did manage to do that the deported would keep up fighting over their right to return. Those shooting missiles from thousands of kilometers away that are being discussed now would certainly continue after a mass deportation from Gaza

  4. Just because there's not a better plan does not mean you have to continue fighting without any plan. Yes if they stop fighting the will be terror, if they continue fighting so will terror continue, so the question really is how many Jews need to die..... The numbers almost a thousand, I strongly suspect that if they stop fighting even over the long term more Jews will live. We need to take revenge out of the picture! That's not a reason for Jewish boys to die.

    1. Do you believe that all wars fought against implacable enemies who if ignored will greatly improve their ability to kill you are a bad idea or do you only believe that when Israel is involved?

    2. It took America 4 years to destroy Nazi Germany. Israel is ahead of schedule. Have patience, Hamas will be destroyed before 4 years.

    4. And Americans had no problem bombing civilian sites that President Biden is not letting Tzahal bomb now

  5. Short-term solution.

    Deporting Palestinians means a viable Palestinian diaspora that can eventually return to bite Israel. Now they are losers in Gaza, living on charity. A successful community somewhere in Europe/Africa/Asia means a more formidable opponent.
