Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed by the IDF in the Gaza Strip, sources close to the matter confirmed to The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.

The IDF is now saying that they did indeed get Yahya Sinwar after launching a targeted strike on Hamas activity in a building in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar is, or was, not only the last remaining leader of Hamas, but the “brains” behind the attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7th. This is a breaking story and will be updated as new information comes in. This is big news, really big news.

“And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this is also vanity.” Ecclesiastes 8:10 (KJB)

Iran must be looking at all this and thinking to themselves is it really worth it to maintain this perpetual animosity and hostility towards Israel and the Jews? The short answer is, no, it’s not. Hamas is all but liquidated now, Hezbollah is just about done, and Iran would fold like a house of cards in an actual war with Israel, and everyone knows it including Russia who had this “word of warning” for the Jewish state today. “We have repeatedly warned and continue to warn, to caution Israel against even hypothetically considering the possibility of a strike on Iranian nuclear facilities and nuclear infrastructure,” Ryabkov was quoted by TASS as saying. Wars and rumours of wars have been determined. That’s the memo.

Officials to JPost: Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar killed by IDF in Gaza Strip

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: The IDF and Shin Bet (ISA) put out a joint statement on the possible assassination earlier Thursday. “Initial report – During IDF operations in the Gaza Strip, three terrorists were eliminated. The IDF and Shin Bet are checking the possibility that one of the terrorists was Yahya Sinwar. At this stage, the identity of the terrorists cannot be confirmed,” the IDF said.

“In the building where the terrorists were eliminated, there were no signs of the presence of hostages in the area. The forces that are operating in the area are continuing to operate with the required caution.” Sky News Arabia published a report shortly after, quoting a security official as saying that his death is confirmed.

One of the terrorists targeted in the IDF strike in Gaza was Hamas’s Khan Yunis division commander, who Army Radio reported on Thursday has been in close proximity to Sinwar since the start of the war. According to the Army Radio report, Israel’s confirmation of the division commander’s death is a significant sign that Sinwar was among those killed in the IDF strike.

“As of now, one of the multiple necessary assessments has been completed for absolute confirmation. Dental images have been submitted to the police forensics lab, and DNA testing is currently in progress.”

Israel Police gave the following statement a few hours after the report: “In response to recent reports concerning the identification of Yahya Sinwar’s assassination, the Israel Police, IDF, and Shin Bet are actively working to establish a definitive identification.” READ MORE

Hezbollah is ready to launch a huge attack on Israel after a decade of evil plotting and building a miles-long tunnel network and a missile city

We have been told for many weeks now that ‘an attack on Israel is imminent’, and yet each day comes and goes and so far no substantial attacks have come forth. Lots of little skirmishes but nothing close to what has been threatened. In the meantime, Israel continues to make very good progress in eliminating terror cells of both Hamas and Hezbollah. The declared death toll of Hezbollah fighters is now at 427, leading one to wonder what will it take for Hezbollah to declare war?

“Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.” Deuteronomy 11:24 (KJB)

The AhlulBayt News Agency said “Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has unveiled a sophisticated underground missile facility at the same time as addressing a strong warning to the Israeli regime. The movement revealed the “Imad 4” facility in a video released by its Military Media outlet on Friday. The facility features a convoluted tunnel network, missile launchpads, and blast doors opening outwards that could be used for launching the projectiles towards predetermined targets.” You can watch this new video by reading this article on our web site.

Hezbollah ready to launch huge October 7-style attack on Israel after 10 years of plotting & building miles of tunnels

FROM THE SUN US: Analysts monitoring years of military activity in southern Lebanon warned that October 7 could soon look “like a picnic” if and when the Lebanese terrorists unleash hell. Hezbollah’s tunnels are said to serve multiple purposes, including military operations, smuggling, and the storage of weapons.

A recent video posted by the terror group even revealed chilling snippets of hidden terror tunnel network from which missiles can be launched. But the exact extent and current state of the underground networks are still not fully known to the public despite the eerie previews.

Lieutenant Colonel Sarit Zehavi, a former Israeli Defence Force intelligence analyst who has been studying Hezbollah for decades, told The Sun: “The risk has never been greater.

“Hezbollah has ten times the firepower of Hamas, with a total military force of 50,000 and up to 5,000 elite troops ready to storm across the border.

“They have built miles of tunnels connecting their forces and more attack tunnels to storm into Israel. They are cut into solid rock and bigger than the Hamas tunnels — some big enough to drive a truck through — with electric power and even air conditioning. But the biggest threat is posed by the sheer volume of their weapons arsenal. They have more than 200,000 rockets, guided missiles and drones.”

Lieutenant Colonel Zehavi fears that Hezbollah may now have enough weapons to overwhelm the Iron Dome and David’s Sling air defences, which protect Israeli towns and cities.

“And once their attack starts, it could go on for months — at the same time as others from Iran, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and from Gaza and the West Bank inside Israel,” she said. “All this is pointed towards us — we are already in a fight for our very existence.” READ MORE

The attack on Majdal Shams came after the IDF on Saturday afternoon struck a cell of Hezbollah gunmen at a weapons depot in southern Lebanon’s Kafr Kila.

After many months of threating to break out, it looks like Israel will be going to war with Hezbollah in Lebanon after a major rocket attack by the terror group struck a soccer field in Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights, killing a dozen people mostly children. It was so bad that Benjamin Netanyahu cut short is visit to the United States to hurry back to Israel amidst plans to launch a major escalation against Hezbollah. Israel is vowing to hit Hezbollah as hard as they ever have, maybe worse.

“Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the passages: for all thy lovers are destroyed.” Jeremiah 22:20 (KJB)

Israel has been fighting hard against Hamas over the past 296 days of their war against them in Gaza, it will be quite something to suddenly transition to what promises to be a hard-fought battle with the Iranian-backed Hezbollah. Should a full-fledged war occur, it will be much more dramatic and intense than Israel’s current war. Hezbollah is loaded to the roof with rockets, missiles and precision-guided munitions, all provided to them by Iran to fight the proxy was against the Jews. The war may have already begun as you read this.

12 killed, mostly children, dozens hurt as Hezbollah rocket hits Majdal Shams soccer field

FROM THE TIMES OF ISRAEL: At least 12 people were killed Saturday, mostly children and teens, and dozens more were wounded when a rocket from Lebanon hit a soccer field in the northern Druze town of Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights. It was the single deadliest Hezbollah attack on northern Israel since fighting there began in October.

Residents and first responders described scenes of bloody carnage on the pitch. Though a warning siren had sounded, it was too short an alert for the victims, who were unable to flee in time.

The shocking attack led to swift promises of retaliation and talk of an unprecedented response among Israeli officials as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hurried home from the US, raising the specter of a fresh escalation and a potential full-blown war between Israel and the Lebanese terror group. Politicians from across the political spectrum expressed outrage at the attack and the government’s failure to bring security to the north after long months of fighting, while demanding decisive action against Hezbollah.

Israel Defense Forces Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said in a press conference on Saturday night that all the victims were aged 10 to 20.

Baruch Padeh Medical Center near Tiberias said four people in serious condition were brought to the hospital. Ziv Medical Center in Safed said it admitted 32 wounded, including six being treated in the trauma ward, 13 in moderate-to-serious condition, and 10 who were lightly hurt. Another four casualties were taken to Rambam Medical Center in Haifa. Medics declared 10 of the victims dead at the scene, while two were declared dead at hospitals, officials said. “We witnessed great destruction when we arrived at the soccer field, as well as items that were on fire. There were casualties on the grass and the scene was gruesome,” said Idan Avshalom, a medic with the Magen David Adom ambulance service.

The IDF said it had determined that the rocket was launched by the terror group from an area just north of the Lebanese village of Chebaa. Hagari in a press conference from the scene identified the rocket that struck Majdal Shams as an Iranian-made Falaq-1.

⚠️ GRAPHIC WARNING

But world must see the pure evil of #Hezbollah!

Today, they fired a rocket on #MajdalShams in northern Israel. They murdered 11 CHILDREN. Beautiful, innocent, children – bodies thrown, limbless, massacred. They were just playing football. Pure act of evil! pic.twitter.com/4ZjYKYYQLa

“A Falaq-1 rocket struck here in the soccer field, it is an Iranian rocket, manufactured in Iran, a rocket with a warhead of over 50 kilograms of explosives,” he said. “In the past hour, Hezbollah has been lying and denying responsibility for the incident,” Hagari said. “Our intelligence is clear, Hezbollah is responsible for the murder of innocent children.

Top military and security officials presented Defense Minister Yoav Gallant with “options for action against Hezbollah” in response to the deadly attack, his office said.

“Gallant determined the courses of action and instructed the defense establishment accordingly,” the Defense Ministry said in a statement. The minister had held an assessment with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, head of the Shin Bet Ronen Bar, head of the Mossad David Barnea, and other officials.

Channel 12 cited a senior Israeli official in the prime minister’s delegation to Washington as saying: “The events in the north will bring about a dramatic turning point in fighting in the area.”

Kan news cited an unnamed senior official as saying “The disaster at Majdal Shams could signal a change of direction in the war.” A security official told the public broadcaster: “This is an incident that we will not gloss over. There will be a severe response.” READ MORE
