ISRAEL PUTS OUT STATEMENT ON RAFAH OPERATIONS
Statement from the Prime Minister's Office:
"The War Cabinet unanimously decided this evening Israel will continue its operation in Rafah, in order to apply military pressure on Hamas so as to advance the release of our hostages and achieve the other objectives of the war.
While the Hamas proposal is far from meeting Israel's core demands, Israel will dispatch a ranking delegation to Egypt in an effort to maximize the possibility of reaching an agreement on terms acceptable to Israel."

More SHOCKING details from this US-created fantasy deal: it is being reported that if the number of live Israeli hostages does not reach 33, then they will be “reimbursed” with bodies of dead hostages from that same category. In return, Israel would have to release ALL women and men under 19 arrested after the 10/7 attack. This would only happen in the 5th week of the 6-week cease-fire. My take: Hamas has nowhere near 33 live hostages and the Biden admin knows it. Absolutely pure evil.

After speaking with several Residents of Riyadh and an Individual who is associated with the Saudi Royal Guard Regiment; they have Confirmed that the “Unconfirmed Reports” made earlier tonight regarding an Assassination Attempt against Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman are Totally False and that there has been No Attack tonight within or near the City. They further state that the Initial Posts made regarding the Attack appear to have been Targeted at Middle Eastern Media Sources right as the Israeli Ground Operation in Southern Gaza was beginning.

The Israeli military says it will be carrying out a drill over the airspace of the Haifa bay this morning.
During the drill, the movement of helicopters will be noted and explosions will be heard, the IDF says.
It adds that there is no fear of a security incident.

4 mortar shells were launched from the area of Rafah toward Israeli territory, following the sirens that sounded in the Kerem Shalom area.
2 additional rocket launches were also identified from the area of Rafah toward Israeli territory.
These launches are further evidence of Hamas’ systematic exploitation of the area of Rafah for terrorist purposes. We will continue to operate and eliminate every threat against Israeli civilians.

And I'm trying to empathize, I see where they're coming from, and we absolutely need to get the hostages home as quickly as possible."

No, it’s not that Israel doesn’t want a deal, it’s that Israel wants its hostages to stay alive.
Hamas, on the other hand, wants to be rewarded for murdering the hostages.
Anyone pushing a deal that incentivizes Hamas to murder the remaining hostages or to reward the Palestinian terrorists for having kidnapped and murdered them in captivity ahead of this negotiation is a complete psychopath.

Officials in the Biden administration told the New York Times that the differences between the Egyptian plan received by Hamas and the US and Israeli proposal are "minor word changes."
...the Israelis demanded "living hostages" and Hamas simply added "or dead"

Rafah Operation Analysis: Hamas was not ready for the IDF to enter Rafah. They thought that their deception of the hostage deal would take some time for people to realize it was all fake, but Israel called it fast, and the IDF moved faster.
The IDF targeted the Rafah crossing and took it over. Why did the Rafah Crossing first? This is a massive hit for Hamas. First, it's their main symbol and lifeline outside Gaza; it's also a huge money maker for them; they charge $5,000 for an adult and $2,500 for a child who is crossing to Egypt, and that is besides taxes on any trucks.
Many of Hama's low-level leadership were near the crossing, getting ready to flee to Egypt, but the fast-moving IDF and the total collapse of the Hamas terrorists in the crossing have them now hiding inside Rafah. This is an enormous pressure point on Hamas leadership to come and make a deal (if there is any deal to make).

NEW: The IDF is now in control of the entire Philadelphi Axis along the Egyptian border in Gaza
This is a breach of the Egyptian-Israeli peace deal of 1979, also known as the Camp David Accords.
According to the agreement, Israel is not allowed to station any military units in 'Zone D', which consists of a narrow strip of land along the entire Egyptian border.

God has a plan, Trust it!
All the prognosticators and date setters in the world can't beat the "prediction" record of the bible. 100% accurate. We know what is going to happen and a basic summary of how it is going to play out. We know the characters and the players. We dont know the date that the curtain will go up, but we sure know that everyone is taking their seats right now. All the players are in line for the first time in history.
Sit back, get right with God, have a coke and a popcorn. The curtain is about to go up on Act I.
UN Secretary General appealing to a terrorist organization to show political courage.
@antonioguterres
I reiterate my appeal for Israel & Hamas to show political courage & spare no effort to secure an agreement now.
To stop the bloodshed.
To free the hostages.
To help stabilize the region.
This is a crucial opportunity that we cannot afford to miss.

If this comes to fruition, this quite interesting!!
As long as everyone is playing semantics... they technically aren't "stationed" there. They are just operating there...

Israel DefMin Yoav Gallant today: "Yesterday, I directed the IDF to enter the Rafah area, take the crossing, and carry out its missions. This operation will continue until we eliminate Hamas in the Rafah area and the entire Gaza Strip, or until the first hostage returns...We are willing to make compromises in order to bring back hostages, but if that option is removed, we will go on and ‘deepen’ the operation- this will happen all over the [Gaza] Strip - in the south, in the center and in the north. Hamas only responds to force, so we will intensify our actions, and the military pressure will result in us crushing the Hamas [terrorist] organization."

Reporter walks around New York asking Palestinian activists and random strangers whether they know that six Americans are hostage in Gaza.
Not a single one of them has a clue.
The American hostages have been held captive in Gaza for 7 months.

Just as an aside, I have always wondered how many of these homemade tunnels result in cave in deaths for their creators, not just in the Middle East, but in other locations like the drug tunnels between Mexico and the US. It should be noted that modern underground mining operations - with the best engineering and equipment - still occasionally experience cave-ins and associated deaths. I'd have to think these amateur tunnels must have horrendous death rates.
Similarly, I'd think that due to their illicit nature getting any realistic statistics would be impossible.
