I want true reports on civilian casualties in Gaza. Not the thousands reported by UN and left wing media

Very difficult to obtain. Hamas does not make a difference between civilians and armed fighters casualties.

It has now been 8+ weeks since 10/7. The IDF and other Israeli forces have battered Hamas forces and hideouts. Yet the missiles continue - according to this report thousands by have been launched. How is it, with control of the land and sea around Gaza, the supply of rockets is not running out?

"Humanitarian" deliveries

Iran deliveries, smuggled in. Some cargos were intercepted over the years, showing hundreds of missiles.

Thank you for your reports. Your information systems are great, I'm following IDF.il and the Whatsapp group. . I remember being in Nahariya in 1984 and hearing the sirens... I remember spending Shabbat in the shelter. I was 16 then.

Thank you for fighting this war to destroy Hamas. Too many people do not realize that we're all next on Hamas's list.

Israël has been living with terrorists attacks for decades. It's time to wipe out Hamas & all terrorist criminals, send them back to hell.

Maybe you should read a comment on the first article, written 3 years ago. Citing :

This article is wrong on so many levels. For starters, Israel never funded, trained or armed Hamas. What is true is that in the late 1970s and early 80s Israel supported what started out as bona fide charities. They built orphanages, schools, cared for widows and the elderly. And yes, this was as an alternative to the PLO which at that time was purely a terrorist organization, doing nothing for its people.

Legitimate criticism is that it may have taken a year long than it should have to drop these groups, but that's only easy to say in hindsight. The game changer was the export of the Iranian Revolution. Forty years later we know how that turned out, but in the moment it could have been a passing fad.

The article loses all credibility when it fails to disclose the circumstances of Yassin's release in 1985. It almost sounds like he was released as a personal favor or so he could found Hamas 2 years later. Reality is that at the time he wasn't a particularly valuable prisoner and was one of 1,150 exchanged for 3 Israeli soldiers in Lebanon (lookup the Jibril Agreement).

Never mind the question of why Israel would arrest the founder of Hamas in the first place, 3 years prior to its creation, when he wasn't much more than a nobody.

Those who think there is a transformation here similar to the Mujahideen turning into the Taliban are wrong on both fronts.

Again, Israel never funded, trained or armed Hamas.

It did not create Hamas.

My own pro israeli newspapers ? How come you assume my origins or preferences ? Easy judging and pointing fingers are great assets to create division hate and war. Very very sad.

Thank you for these important updates! Please share your information with all the media so a wider audience can see it. It's a necessary counterbalance. Thank you.

Are there any updates regarding the hostages?

Thank you for providing the updates on the war. Appreciate the work you and the rest of the IDF spokesperson unit are doing advocating for Israel on social media and the many many interviews with media organisations around the world. Also enjoying the updates on the meals you are exposing to the IDF mess hall. Wonder when the British classic of beans on toast will become a staple. Wishing you a happy Hanukkah! Keep safe, take care of yourself and much support to you all

To be able to build a country you must first have it in your psyche nurtured for thousands of years and then take every opportunity to make it bloom and grow. Otherwise you will only concentrate on destroying some one elses' while squandering financial and moral support in doing so. You cannot build a country on the hatred of another. In the modern world that is considered spiteful and immature.

The world is presently doing the Palestinians the greatest if disservice - it is siding with Hamas.

Wow they’ve really upped their arsenal from the poxy Qassam rocket. ....All that UN aid wasted on warheads when they could have economically prospered all these years! Presumably they have masses of rockets in the tunnels, so the secondary explosions must be a big risk right across the strip. It feels like things are shifting /turning though and massive progress has been, rattling Turkish PM Erdogan to speak out - good sign 🙌

Great daily updates. Great calling out propoganda. Keep going.

Rocket attacks from Gaza should NEVER have been tolerated. Ariel Sharon’s false promise to strongly retaliate for any rocket or bullet from Gaza established a dangerous and self-destructive policy of passivity and inaction.

Thank you for this update. Your reports are always insightful.

That’s wonderful to provide sufganiyah to the Israeli warriors! That’s a lot of calories, so they must be AWESOME!!!!!!

What did you have for dinner?

I ask, since the world does not want to comment, when were the terror classes held in the mosques? Before, during or after prayers?

So now we know that hospitals were riddled with terror tunnels, schools and kindergartens stored weapons, baby strollers used to move weapons from one place to another, ambulances as Hamas taxis and let me think ......... AK47s in teddy bears! Really?!?!?! Teddy bears!!

How endearing for the IDF to send Hanukkah wishes to the Jewish people and if I may embrace that wish too because even though I am not Jewish I do feel I have a Jewish soul.

A LITTLE LIGHT🔥 DISPELS MUCH DARKNESS 🌑

AM ISRAEL CHAI 💙🇮🇱💙

I see videos of Hamas blowing up IDF tanks, watching you on cameras, how can they sneak up so close, not get spotted. Sorry hear you lost more soldiers. Hamas is ISIS. It's like 90% Gaza is Hamas terrorists, in on all of it. Scary for you. I also know IDF has great Morals. I understand the guys need off time in fighting, it's a tough war. But I didn't like the videos of them smashing stuff in a gift shop, burning humanitarian aid back of a truck, showing off what they bombed in Gaza from inside a Tank. Ya maybe just being silly, relieve stress. It just gives IDF more harsh comments, bad name, bad rep. Sent you/IDF messages regarding hostages, hopefully you see them. Your like right on top of them. Stay Strong, Stay Safe, eliminate Hamas and Gaza Terrorists.
