IDF launching strikes throughout Gaza after Hamas refused repeated hostage deal offers

Israelis committing mass murder again.They are savages, just like Hamas.

Hamas  had plenty of opportunity to extend the ceasefire and free more hostages.  That's the difference Israel and Hamas.  Israel is retaliating for the Oct. 7 attack on its civilians by armed terrorists and the fact that Hamas refuses to release the remaining hostages it holds.  The IDF knows through long experience that harsh language alone isn't effective against Hamas.  Plus they got one more high-ranking official.  An excerpt from the BBC article.

 

"The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it was attacking what it called "terror targets" belonging to Hamas. The strikes are continuing and the IDF has recently issued fresh evacuation orders for many areas.

Mahmoud Abu Wafah, the deputy interior minister in Gaza and the highest-ranking Hamas security official in the territory, is among the dead.{

More evidence of Hamas stealing the food that was donated free for Gazan civilians,

 

‘I saw Hamas terrorists carrying boxes with the UN and UNRWA emblems on them into the tunnels — dozens and dozens of boxes, paid for by your government,’ he said. ‘They would eat many meals a day from the UN aid in front of us, and we never received any of it.’ This was deliberate cruelty: in Hamas’ flaunting of their control over aid stolen from their own citizens in Gaza, they carried out a calculated humiliation of our hostages.

 

Hamas ‘eats like kings,’ while our hostages starve

Today, Eli Sharabi stood before the United Nations Security Council and held up to the audience a photo of the family he lost. His wife Lianne, and his daughters Noiya, 16, and Yahel, 13, were all murdered by Hamas terrorists in the safe room of their home in Kibbutz Be’eri. His elder brother, Yossi, was also taken captive alongside him and has since been confirmed dead, and Hamas continues to hold his body. Looking directly at his audience, he said, ‘Remember this: Hamas eats like kings, while hostages starve.’

https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/hamas-eats-like-kings-while-our-hostages-starve/

 

“I have come back from hell. I was kept underground, starved, beaten and chained like an animal. For 491 days, I begged for food, begged to use the bathroom, begging became my existence.”

He was starved. Tortured. Held in unimaginable conditions for hundreds of days.

Listen to Eli Sharabi’s harrowing testimony at the @UN Security Council today.

After reading the cross-party commission of British Parliamentarians, also known as The Roberts Report—the most comprehensive investigation to date of Hamas’s October 7 terror attack on Israel, I would have no problem with Hamas being wiped out, along with any Palestinians who support and help them. A precis follows.......

 

A cross-party commission of British Parliamentarians this week released the 7 October Parliamentary Commission Report, also known as The Roberts Report—the most comprehensive investigation to date of Hamas’s October 7 terror attack on Israel.

 

Chaired by historian Lord Andrew Roberts and commissioned by the UK-Israel All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG), the 318-page report draws on forensic evidence, survivor testimonies, and open-source footage to meticulously document the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. The report exposes the premeditated and systematic nature of the attack, disproves false narratives, and underscores the brutality Hamas inflicted on innocent civilians.

 

Key Findings:

The Roberts Report provides an unflinching account of the horrors of October 7, laying bare the extent of Hamas’s atrocities and the targeted nature of their assault.

Mass Murder & Targeting of Civilians: Hamas terrorists killed 1,182 people, injured over 4,000, and kidnapped 251 hostages, including 18 British nationals—the deadliest attack on UK citizens abroad since 9/11. The report affirms that 73% of those murdered were civilians, from a 14-hour-old infant to a 92-year-old Holocaust survivor.

Planned Atrocities: Hamas spent years preparing for the attack, building mock Israeli communities for training exercises. Their fighters entered Israel carrying detailed lists of civilians to be killed or abducted. The assault was not spontaneous warfare—it was a deliberate massacre designed to maximize terror.

Unprecedented Brutality: The report documents atrocities in chilling detail—families were executed in their homes, burned alive in safe rooms, or blown up with grenades. At Kibbutz Be’eri, 99 civilians were slaughtered; in Kfar Aza, 62 were murdered, including babies in their parents’ arms. At the Nova music festival, Hamas massacred over 370 young people, ambushing fleeing attendees with rifles, grenades, and RPGs.

Sexual Violence & Mutilation: The report confirms widespread sexual violence, with victims raped, gang-raped, and mutilated before being murdered. Some corpses were desecrated—including instances of beheadings. Such sadistic brutality, the authors note, has few historical parallels.

Hostages & Digital Terrorism: Hamas used social media as a weapon, filming their killings on body cameras and smartphones, live-streaming the massacres on Facebook, TikTok, and Telegram. They seized victims’ phones to send images of the atrocities directly to the victims’ loved ones, amplifying the psychological terror.

Fighting Denial & Misinformation: The report addresses the rapid spread of falsehoods following October 7. Within hours of the attack, conspiracy theories sought to deny the massacres had taken place. Lord Roberts draws a direct parallel between October 7 denial and Holocaust denial, noting that misinformation today spreads faster than ever before. The report serves as a historical record of indisputable facts, based on eyewitness testimony, forensic evidence, and footage filmed by Hamas themselves.

Yea I read it, extremely detailed and comprehensive. One for the history books, or horror section may be more appropriate, some of the details are truly beyond imagination.

You are totally correct.   Lord Andrew Roberts and his crew have written the best available account of the Oct. 7 attacks.  It is factual and unbiased and describes the circumstances under each of the 1,182 victims were killed.  The report is certain to become the "go to" reference work on Oct. 7.

 

I haven't read a single negative review on the report, but most of the mainstream press has ignored its publication.  That's a shame, as the report deserves to be widely read as it refutes many of the false claims by Hamas supporters about the attacks.  I have a hard time understanding the thought processes of anyone who sympathizes with Hamas and it Palestinian supporters, given the horrific chain of events on Oct. 7 and Oct. 8..

A Palestinian Oscar winner has been attacked by Israeli settlers, activists who witnessed the event say, before being detained by the Israeli military.

Hamdan Ballal, one of four co-directors of No Other Land, had his house in the Israeli-occupied West Bank surrounded by settlers during an attack on Monday, the Center for Jewish Nonviolence group (CJNV) said.

Co-director Yuval Abraham said Mr Ballal was beaten by settlers then taken by soldiers while in an ambulance. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said no Palestinian had been detained from an ambulance.

   You have edited that report from the BBC to give it a different meaning 

The next and last sentence should be . 

 

Without naming Mr Ballal, the IDF said three Palestinians and an Israeli had been detained on suspicion of "rock hurling" at security forces.

 

But you deleted that sentence and added a different sentence
