Interested to know if there are ways to contribute to morale, welfare, recreation for current/fallen IDF/IAF/ISA personnel.

What is sad about the misinformed, misguided, anti-Israel protestors is that they are emboldening Hamas to the detriment of .......... the Gazans themselves!

If I was a Gazan parent wanting a life for my children like my neighbour's children (i.e Israel) I would yell at these people and ask them what do they know about life under Hamas?

Educate yourself people already! Ask those who managed to escape from their grip!

An uprising against Syrian President Assad resulted in an estimated 500,000 people dead. No protests to speak of.

If the hostage deal is successfully negotiated, the actual transfer of the hostages would provide valuable intelligence regarding the possible location of other captives. Hamas members must emerge from a specific point with the hostages. Similarly, Red Cross members will be taken to some entrance to examine the remaining hostage. I’m sure all these movements can be monitored. Of course, Hamas will use the temporary ceasefire to move around the remaining hostages, but their options might be a lot more limited now.

Your reports are compelling because they combine a synthesis of operational facts, direct quotations from participants and video evidence. The video evidence is logically incorporated into the report.

Matters are moving quickly and there are now many reports.

I believe many of us encourage others to view the reports and videos, particularly when people repeat false information.

Respectfully, perhaps a site menu of some key videos in chronological order that anyone can quickly pull up and share could be an asset.

For instance, your video in the basement of the hospital with the baby bottle. I have recommended that video multiple times.

Thank you for answering questions.

God bless and stay safe.

Please comment on the extremely troubling news reported in Haaretz and The Times of Israel regarding the women soldiers who were monitoring the Gaza border and who raised specific concerns that were ignored by or even dismissed by their senior commanders that they saw evidence that Hamas was preparing for the attack? Is it possible that the whole attack could’ve been averted? Is this how women are treated in the IDF?

Is Israel, the U.S., and UN trying to get the Red Cross in to make sure the hostages are alive and well?

I have a big problem with Israel’s conduct I have been heartbroken for weeks but things don’t add up.

First our intelligence was asleep ( in Israel how is that possible?)Then this same intelligence had no ideas as to hostage whereabouts. Our much vaunted IDF are great but couldn’t defeat ( not damage but defeat) Hamas in over 6 weeks. Netanyahu clearly said no ceasefire unless ALL hostages are released ,( a lie).The Israeli people will never feel safe again. Our opponents know how weak and vulnerable our civilian and military leaders have left us. I’m shocked

Hi - Lt.Col. Hecht. Do you think the State of Israel have now learned that the withdrawal from Gaza in 2005 was an unrepeatable mistake and that the so-called Oslo Accords of 1993 has been an equally disastrous error only ushering more innocent Jewish deaths at the hands of terrorists?

Very informative YouTube clip Lt Col Hecht. I am shocked, had no idea they had that level of sophistication and Thermobaric weapons. They have been smuggling them in for years planning this, which begs the question from who, as they haven’t all been home produced. It just makes 7/10 seem even more horrific that they had this level of weaponry to take down whole buildings
