@ElliotKaufman6 @sfrantzman Including the sad story of plugat Alon in 1982. 7 KIA from the hesder tank company.

[Shaun Sacks @ShaunSacks1]

@sfrantzman And still is, because I still do.

[Shaun Sacks @ShaunSacks1]

@sfrantzman Come on Seth. Anyone who has served in regular infantry or צנחנים is aware of the platoon (מחלקה) in every גדוד that made up of Hesder students. In armour this is a full פלוגה. This הסדר or arrangement has been around since the 60's. We are talking about thousands of recruits.

Just to clear this up for you guys who are believing this “ziptie mass grave” bullshit.

This is the third instance he’s made this claim with the exact same picture.

Now repeat after me:

Hezbollah has been irreversibly diminished, Hezbollah has been disarmed south of the Litani River, and Lebanon has undergone historic changes.

We started recording a podcast episode about the war with Iran.
Then the missile sirens went off.
Had to pause the recording and head to the safe room.
The most authentic Israeli podcast production environment possible.

Blink and miss it. After yrs denying & avoiding its staff work beside & include militants ("We know fucking well they're in the hospital": @msf staffer) Doctors without Borders says "armed men, some masked" are halting “non-critical” operations at Gaza's Nasser hospital. No press release. No mention of its shameful, enabling "hear no evil, see no evil" approach to militant abuse of hospitals. Just a quiet about-face, stuffed in a hard-to-find online corner. A masterclass in how institutions practice minimum transparency & accountability while covering their bases. @hrw @amnesty

MSF staffer testimony: https://t.co/dimFwEkDL0

Full text:
"MSF made the difficult decision to suspend all non-critical medical operations in Nasser hospital, the largest functional facility in Gaza, as of 20 January 2026, due to concerns regarding the management of the structure, the safeguarding of its neutrality, and security breaches.

In recent months, in Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, patients and MSF personnel have seen armed men, some masked, in different areas of the large compound of the hospital. This had not been in areas where MSF has activities, but in other parts of the hospital compound. With an uptick since the ceasefire, MSF teams have reported a pattern of unacceptable acts, including the presence of armed men, intimidation, arbitrary arrests of patients, and a recent situation of suspicion of movement of weapons. These incidents pose serious security threats to our teams and patients.

MSF formally expressed our strong concern to the relevant authorities, and emphasised the incompatibility of such violations with MSF’s medical mission. Hospitals must remain neutral, civilian spaces, free from military presence or activity, to ensure the safe and impartial delivery of medical care.”

Bonjour @franceinfo, est-ce que MSF ou MDM ont le monopole de l'humanitaire? Rappel important: Des géants de l'humanitaire tels que @Acted (🇫🇷; budget 4× plus important que MDM) ou @WCKitchen (🇺🇸) et 22 ONG internationales ont accepté les vérifications anti-terroristes 🇮🇱 !

‼️ 🇩🇰 FM @larsloekke announced plans to give DKK 5 million to the Palestinian group Independent Commission for Human Rights (ICHR) in 2026. In response: we sent a letter informing 🇩🇰 MPs that ICHR is linked to Hamas, PIJ + the PFLP. >>

🔴Revealed by @NGOmonitor: Documents removed from Gaza and later declassified by the @IDF show how Hamas exploits the humanitarian platforms of international organizations to advance its military goals.

The evidence confirms that some NGOs in Gaza do not operate independently or neutrally. Rather, they are embedded in an institutionalized framework of coercion, intimidation, and surveillance that serves Hamas’ terror objectives.

The registration mechanism for organizations seeks to solve this. Many organizations have already registered and operate inside Gaza. Some organizations refuse to register. Are they hiding Hamas involvement?

🚨🚨Breaking: Internal documents reveal Hamas infiltration of top international NGOs.

In internal Hamas documents published by @NGOmonitor, Hamas officials describe assigning “guarantors,” who act as formal liaisons between Hamas and major NGOs such as Doctors Without Borders, Oxfam, Save the Children, and the Norwegian Refugee Council.

These “guarantors” are local Gazans approved by Hamas, who “hold senior administrative positions, such as director, deputy director, or board chair, ensuring access to the highest levels of the NGOs’ local branches and operations,” according to NGO Monitor.

NGO Monitor also found that, according to Hamas’ own communications, at least 10 of these guarantors — who were also senior NGO officials in Gaza — were simultaneously members or supporters of Hamas, or employed by Hamas-linked groups.

Hamas also conducted widespread surveillance of NGO officials in Gaza, with one Hamas document noting that the guarantors across 48 NGOs “can be exploited for security purposes in order to infiltrate foreign associations, their foreign senior personnel and their movements.”

These documents are the first formal proof that Hamas leveraged the international NGO sector in Gaza to further its agenda, and come as those same NGOs are due to reconstruct what is supposed to be a Hamas-free Gaza.

New Boots on the Ground Episode:
For decades, Israel has poured energy into hasbarah — trying to “explain” itself to the world. But what if the whole approach is flawed?

In this episode we break down why hasbarah often backfires, how constant defensiveness weakens our message, and what a confident, values-driven alternative looks like.

Strength begins when we stop explaining — and start owning who we are.
