WATCH: In Tel Aviv a ballistic missile launched from Iran sent hundreds of people to the shelter, including the restaurant staff of Paradiso. They decided to bring a large tray of tiramisu with them and shared with everyone.

A friend of mine was finally on a rescue flight home to Israel last night. While she was in the air her train station was hit by an Iranian cluster missile. By the time she landed the station was open and that’s how she got home from the airport.
And they think they can beat us

Everyone's asking me how I knew Larijani was next. Haba Bator, the agent who took him out, is one of my dearest friends and we can read each other very well after so many years. Haba just told me who is next, but I'm not sure I'm allowed to publicize this one. Stay tuned...

During the latest Iranian missile barrage on Jerusalem, Israeli police said interception debris and missile fragments fell at several sites in the Old City, including the Temple Mount plaza, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre compound, and the area near the Jewish Quarter, as well as other locations in central and eastern Jerusalem.

Police, bomb disposal units, and Border Police secured the scenes and worked to remove any remaining danger. The statement said the incident underscored that the enemy does not distinguish between religions or holy sites, and defended the decision to close sacred places to worshippers and visitors as a life-saving measure.

The Islamic Regime’s supporters claim that Tel Aviv has been destroyed. They’re lying to you — this is what the city looks like today.

The only thing worse than driving off a cliff, is doing it twice. After the disastrous Karen Read prosecution, the Commonwealth seems determined to impale itself again by going after the single journalist who reported the truth. They will not win. If they had any clue, they'd dismiss the case before even more of their criminal activity comes to light. #Turtleboy

@N12News האם העדכון הזה יתבצע כמתוכנן? שיעורי הפטור לקצבה מזכה השתנו במהלך בשנים האחרונות ובין השנים 2020-2024 הוא עומד על 52% . משנת 2025 והלאה הוא יעמוד על 67%.

When I see these videos, I’m still furious. And I’m sure I’ll be for the rest of my life. But, after a year, I’m even more sure of something else:

In an orgy of blood and slaughter, live-streamed to the world, the Palestinians lived up to their nihilistic calling—it was the greatest day in their history, the magnum opus of their national accomplishment, and the distilled essence of their identity.

For a day, they roamed southern Israel like an ancient brigand army, killing, raping, abducting, and sowing terror in a country they want fervently to destroy, but could never build. It could only recede from there. And it has.

None of them care there will never be a Palestinian state; it’s just Western elite psychopaths and morons who still cling to that absurdity. But, after a year, the smarter Palestinians should understand that their plan to destroy Israel is going nowhere. Honestly, I don’t care whether or not they understand; the result will be the same.

The genocidal fever-dream that’s always been in lieu of their national aspirations will never succeed, but they will continue to ground themselves to dust chasing after it.

Some thoughts on Israel's attack on Hezbollah HQ and Nasrallah last night:

First, we need to remember, Hezbollah is a Lebanese-based jihadist terrorist org, that like Hamas, serves entirely at the behest of Iran, and seeks no less than the annihilation of the State of Israel.

Nasrallah himself has said that that the entire Middle East will not rest until the "cancerous gland"that is Israel is removed.

On October 8 last year, a day after the Hamas massacre, Hezbollah formally joined the war in the wistful hope that they might help eradicate the Jewish state.

In the past year, they have fired almost 10,000 rockets at Israel, murdering 48 people, including 12 children in Majdal Shams, and forcibly displacing almost 100,000 Israelis from their homes in the north.

This past week alone, at least 2.5 million Israelis have been in bomb shelters and line of Hezbollah fire. That’s a quarter of Israel’s population.

This situation became just intolerable. The United States would not tolerate this for a day. Nor would any country in Europe or any sovereign nation.

It is not Israel that is ‘escalating’ the situation, but rather Hezbollah, after firing almost 10,000 rockets at the heart of Israel, including on a daily basis since Oct 8th.

Furthermore, the international community bears an incredible onus on the situation we find ourselves in today.

Instead of demanding that Hezbollah cease its flagrant and wholesale violation of UN Security Council resolution 1701, which called on them to disarm and withdraw from southern Lebanon, they have pushed for nonsensical 'ceasefires' and sought to constrain Israel. In doing so, they have only emboldened Hezbollah and poured more fuel on the conflict.

Israel, like any sovereign nation, has the inalienable right, including under international law and Art. 51 of the UN Charter, to defend itself from this relentless bombardment.

In case it needs to be reiterated, going after Hassan Nasrallah, a warmonger and leader of the Hezbollah terror group, was an entirely legal and just pursuit. Is no different than when the Allies when after Hitler or U.S. took out bin Laden.

Meantime, Hezbollah, just like Hamas, has also been committing a double war crime, embedding in civilian areas, using the Lebanese people as human shields, whilst indiscriminately firing at civilians in Israel.

Again, the West's failure to call them out on this, just as they refused to do so with Hamas, only emboldened Hezbollah and put more civilians at risk.

Notwithstanding, Israel is again going to extraordinary lengths to avoid harm to civilians in Lebanon, while fully abiding by the rules of war, including the principled of necessity, distinction and proportionality.

Remember also, Nasrallah ordered the murder not only of Jews, but had blood on his hands of Americans (Beirut Barracks and Embassy Bombings), French, Argentinians and Europeans.

What Israel has showed in the last 48 hours, is that it will not cower to, nor will it appease the international community's demands to relinquish the Jewish state's inalienable and sovereign right to defend itself.

If indeed the arch-terrorist and mass murderer Nasrallah was eliminated, that indeed is a good day for the world and the West simply just say 'thanks' to Israel for going after him, and move on.

Having killed Hisbollah terrorists using modified pagers, Israel hasn’t violated the Protocol on land mines and booby-traps. Let me explain why (THREAD)
1) let’s check if the pagers can be qualified as booby-traps at all. Booby traps are seemly harmless objects which detonate…

"I take such comfort in knowing that you were with Carmel, Ori, Eden, Almog and Alex, from what I have been told, they each were delightful in very different ways, and I think that is how the six of you managed to stay alive in unimaginable circumstances for so very long."

@QudsNen This woman's story is very sad! Please note that until the war, she was able to enter Israel and receive vital treatment. Some of the Israeli citizens murdered by Hamas on Oct 7 used to drive cancer patients from Gaza to treatment centers in Israel. Such an unnecessary tragedy!
