Here the story that I been blabing about I got this off UK Daily mail Analysing Israel's 'proof' that it wasn't behind Gaza hospital bloodbath: Experts examine IDF's dossier of 'evidence' including images of misfiring rocket, lack of crater and shrapnel on roof An explosion that rocked the Gaza Strip's al-Ahli Arab hospital and killed hundreds of people last night, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, has sparked a venomous blame game between Israel, Hamas and its allies. Israel this morning sought to absolve itself of any responsibility for the horrific incident, sharing a slew of evidence it claims is proof that a misfiring rocket fired by Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) - an independent jihadist group - was behind the blast. The proof provided by the Israeli Defence Forces included an audio clip of alleged Hamas terrorists confirming the rocket came from PIJ, a video of what appears to be the rocket in question misfiring over Gaza, and birdseye images of the blast site that did not have characteristics consistent with an Israeli aerial strike, according to an IDF spokesman. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12644477/Israels-evidence-hospital-bloodbath-caused-misfired-rocket-Gaza-terrorists-IDF-claims-satellite-photos-footage-wiretapped-phone-call-prove-isnt-blame-horror.html |

Now sirens going off in tel Viv right now and IDF warn that this war may be long 12 min ago Rocket sirens sound in Tel Aviv From CNN's Sugam Pokharel Sirens warning of possible incoming rockets sounded again in Tel Aviv on Wednesday evening local time. A CNN team on the ground saw a “very heavy explosion” in the sky. Israel's war with Hamas "will not be short," IDF official says From CNN's Tamar Michaelis in Jerusalem and Sugam Pokharel in London The Israel Defense Forces Chief of the General Staff Herzi Halevi on Wednesday warned of a prolonged conflict with Hamas while speaking to Israeli soldiers. “This will not be short, and even if we’ll have to expand the campaign in case another enemy gets involved, we’ll know how to handle it,” Halevi told soldiers during a visit to Tel Nof Airbase near Rehovot. Halevi added that Israel is "operating according to the law," saying, "We’re all mad but operate by reason. We’re fighting persistently and remain humans, unlike the other side that’s fighting like animals." US consulate in southern Turkey closes during protests, embassy says From CNN's Jennifer Hansler The US consulate in Adana, Turkey, “will remain closed to the public until further notice” amid ongoing protests over the war between Israel and Hamas, the American embassy said in a security alert Wednesday. “Large demonstrations related to events in Israel and Gaza are expected throughout Turkiye for the next several weeks,” the alert said. “Any gathering, even those intended to be peaceful, could escalate and turn violent. Protest activity may result in enhanced police presence, road closures, and traffic disruptions.” The alert also noted that US government personnel were "instructed to minimize movements" and avoid travel to the consular district. The US State Department has issued advisories from its embassies throughout the region, including in Beirut and Amman, where there were similar notices advising US citizens of the ongoing protests, many of which have targeted US diplomatic compounds. edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-news-hamas-war-10-18-23/index.html |

Here we go again with the rockets via CNN blog 9 rockets fired from Lebanon crossed into northern Israel on Wednesday, IDF says From CNN’s Hadas Gold A total of nine rockets fired from Lebanese territory crossed into northern Israel on Wednesday, the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement. Four of the rockets were intercepted by the IDF Aerial Defense Array, it said. Sirens warning of possible incoming rockets sounded in northern Israel near the Lebanon border on Wednesday afternoon. “Several launches of anti-tank missiles toward the areas of Metula, Malkia, and Manara were identified. The IDF is responding with fire toward the origins of the shootings,” the Israeli military said. “An IDF UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) thwarted a terrorist cell which fired mortar shells toward the area of Turmus.” Earlier Wednesday, the IDF said anti-tank missiles were fired toward Israeli communities Manara and the Rosh HaNikra along the Lebanese border. Hezbollah said in a statement that it attacked an Israeli position just south of Manara. edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-news-hamas-war-10-18-23/index.html |

This is more study of how IDF training in ground attack right now How Israel is training for urban warfare Frank Hofmann 5 hours ago5 hours ago The Israeli military is one of the best-trained armies in the world when it comes to urban warfare. But even the best training can only begin to prepare it for the type of combat it would face in Gaza. The Israeli army has been practicing urban warfare for two decades now in an artificial city one hour's drive away from the Gaza Strip. Baladia City, as it's nicknamed ("Baladia" is Arabic for "city"), is part of the military base located near Kibbutz Tze'elim in the Negev Desert. You can see the fake settlement with its white houses — densely built just like in Gaza — in photos and satellite images. It includes a mosque, a hospital, and fully furnished homes. There is even anti-Israeli graffiti on the walls and facades. "These are very well-prepared Israeli forces, the best in the world for this," according to Frank Ledwidge, an expert in military strategy at the University of Portsmouth in the UK. But this kind of training can only be an approximation of what Israel is facing in northern Gaza, German security expert Christian Mölling told DW.

Oh please look at Islamic jihad rocket symbol on it Protests in West Bank, elsewhere, over hospital deaths Mass protests erupted in several Arab and Muslim countries on Wednesday in response to the deadly explosion at a Gaza City hospital, for which Israel and Hamas traded allegations of responsibility. In the West Bank, where Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas had declared a day of mourning, protesters were out in numbers in both Ramallah and Nablus. In Egypt, which German Chancellor Olaf Scholz was visiting on Wednesday, large crowds gathered in Giza and other cities. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-biden-backs-israel-account-on-gaza-blast/live-67128528 |

Yeah after Joe Biden was going pressure Bibi allowing humanitairn efforts Netanyahu's office says 'will not thwart' Gaza aid from Egypt Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said on Wednesday that limited humanitarian aid would be allowed into Gaza via the Rafah border crossing with Egypt. The decision was made following a request by visiting US President Joe Biden, Netanyahu's office said. The news was announced at almost the exact same time that the US vetoed a UN Security Council resolution that would have demanded aid be allowed into Gaza, among other things. The Israeli government said it "will not thwart" food, water and medicine deliveries, provided the supplies were not destined for Hamas. The statement did not mention fuel, which is also in extremely short supply. It was not clear when the aid would start flowing. Egypt's Rafah crossing, the only crossing point from Gaza that does not enter Israel, has only a limited capacity. President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi said earlier on Wednesday that damage from Israeli airstrikes near the border was stopping a queue of laden trucks from crossing. Israel has said it will not allow aid into Gaz www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-biden-backs-israel-account-on-gaza-blast/live-67128528 |

More troops arrived on border of Gaza and Israel Tanks, troops continue to mass near southern Israel Teresa Bo Teresa Bo Reporting from southern Israel We have able to make it closer to some of the towns near the Israel-Gaza fence. But the Israeli military has been increasing the exclusion zone, so it’s becoming harder and harder to make it closer to Gaza. We have seen thousands of soldiers moving into this part of the country. There’s tanks, armoured vehicles, possibly preparing for a ground offensive. Most of the towns around this area have been evacuated. The houses are empty. The shops are closed in the town of Sderot, for example, a town of around 30,000 people, with only a few thousand now left. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2023/10/17/israel-hamas-war-live-anger-after-israeli-strike-kills-500-in-hospital |

I don't mind border open for Humantiarn reason I don't want any Hamas terrorist sneak though Live. Israel-Hamas war: Rafah border crossing with Egypt to open on Friday, say Egyptian media sources Summary Israeli jets have hammered Gaza, hitting 100 sites in 24 hours Gaza is still under siege, with Israel blocking supplies of water, electricity and fuel. However, an agreement appears to have made to start letting in aid over the Rafah crossing from Friday Global protests are continuing over the Gaza hospital strike which killed 500 people. Israel denies involvement, though Palestine's UN mission accuses the Israelis of "disinformation" and propaganda about the incident Israeli forces kill at least five Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society Almost 3,480 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since Hamas’s October 7 attack inside Israel, which killed more than 1,400 people EU urged to help stop Gaza massacre as MEPs call for 'humanitarian pause' Pressure increased on Thursday on the European Union to help find practical solutions to spare lives in Gaza, as the European Parliament adopted a resolution calling for a "humanitarian pause". The resolution, which carries no legal weight, comes after the United States vetoed a similar text by the UN Security Council calling for humanitarian pauses to deliver lifesaving aid to millions in Gaza. Support for a two-state solution drops among Palestinians Only 24% of Palestinians now support a two-state solution, down from a majority of 59% in 2012, according to a newly released Gallup poll. The survey was conducted between July and September and ended the week before Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel on 7 October. According to the same poll, a majority of 84% of Palestinians have little to no trust in US President Joe Biden being able to help negotiate a fair peace treaty between Israel and the Palestinian Territories. www.euronews.com/2023/10/19/israel-hamas-war-intense-airstrikes-hit-gaza-rafah-crossing-to-open-global-protests-contin |

Still get worst Israel-Hamas war rages as Gaza humanitarian crisis continues The Rafah crossing between Egypt and Gaza is preparing to open from the Egyptian side to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip on Friday, according to Egyptian security officials. The World Health Organization has said the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is spiraling "out of control," while Palestinian health officials say more than 3,700 people have been killed. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel will not block humanitarian aid going into Gaza from Egypt, but it will not allow supplies into Gaza from its own territory until Hamas releases all hostages. The US State Department issued a rare worldwide alert Thursday to advise all US citizens abroad "to exercise increased caution" as protests have erupted throughout the Middle East. The US currently assesses that Israel is "not responsible" for Tuesday's deadly blast at a Gaza hospital that likely killed hundreds of people. Israel said the explosion was caused by an Islamic Jihad rocket, while Palestinian officials blamed Israel. edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-10-19-23/index.html |

Possiblty dont be suprise if ground invasion happen PRETTY PRETTY SOON Israeli defense minister says troops near Gaza will "soon see it from the inside" From CNN’s Tamar Michaelis and Daniel Oz in Jerusalem Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant told troops gathered not far from the Gaza Strip on Thursday that they will "soon see" the enclave "from the inside," according to a press release from his office. "You see Gaza now from a distance, you will soon see it from inside. The command will come," he said, according to the release. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on a separate visit to an area bordering the Gaza Strip on Thursday, told troops stationed there: "The entire nation of Israel stands behind you and we will give the hard blow to our enemies so that we can achieve victory. For victory! Ready?" Also Thursday, the commanding officer of Israel Defense Forces Southern Command, Maj. Gen. Yaron Finkelman, told troops at another section of the border: "This maneuvering will shift the war to the enemy’s side and we will win on their ground. This maneuvering will be long, difficult, long, intense, but we have the best commanders and fighters the IDF has to offer." Earlier this week: Israel's ambassador to the United Nations said Israel "has no interest" in occupying Gaza but will do "whatever is needed" to eliminate Hamas. edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-10-19-23/index.html |

Not going happen maybe pretty soon UN chief makes urgent appeal for humanitarian ceasefire in Middle East From CNN's Kristina Sgueglia UN Secretary-General António Guterres made an urgent appeal Thursday for a humanitarian ceasefire between Hamas and Israel. He called for “immediate and unconditional release of the hostages” captured by Hamas during its October 7 attack in Israel. Guterres, who is in Cairo, Egypt, also called on Israel to allow the “immediate unrestricted access of humanitarian aid to respond to the most basic needs of the people of Gaza.” “To help realize these two appeals, I am calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire,” he said. So far, Egypt has agreed to allow an aid convoy of up to 20 trucks to cross into Gaza. Israel has agreed to allow this convoy to cross, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said it will not allow aid to cross from the country's own territory until Hamas released the hostages. Guterres also said he is “in Egypt to witness UN preparations to be able to deliver massive support to the people of Gaza.” This comes as the Egyptian security officials say that the Rafah cros edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-10-19-23/index.html |

Gavin Newsom is planning a one-day visit to Israel this week to meet people affected by that country’s war with Hamas, stopping over en route to China where he will discuss policies to curb global warming. The Democratic governor is set to arrive Friday in Israel with plans to depart later that same day for Hong Kong. His office didn’t immediately answer questions about his schedule and activities in Israel. “I’m on my way to Israel,” Newsom confirmed in a message posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. “I’ll be meeting with those impacted by the horrific terrorist attacks and offering California’s support.” apnews.com/article/california-governor-newsom-israel-visit-china-7219a49e4a065a55f0c206e0a403807f |

The warship left its home port of Willhelmshaven with about 120 sailors on board. The ship will help secure maritime borders and prevent arms smuggling along the Lebanese coast as part of the UN's UNIFIL peacekeeping mission. Part of the mission's tasks is monitoring the border region between Israel and Lebanon, where there have been repeated violent incidents between Israeli forces and the Iran-backed Shiite militant group Hezbollah. There have been more clashes since the October 7 attacks on Israel by the Islamist militant group Hamas and Israel's retaliatory strikes on the Gaza Strip. These, and an expected ground offensive on Gaza, have fueled concerns that Hezbollah militants in Lebanon might be drawn into the conflict. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-live-blog-october-20/live-67155678 |

NO KIDDING UN UN refugee chief warns escalation risks catastrophe The UN High Commissioner for Refugees has said any escalation of military activities would prove disastrous for people in the Gaza Strip. There are fears that the conflict will escalate further as Israel readies for an imminent ground assault. " can tell you with certainty that any further escalation or even continuation of military activities will just be catastrophic for the people of Gaza," the high commissioner, Filippo Grandi, told reporters in Japan on Friday.
Hamas militants entered Israel from the Gaza Strip on October 7 and killed at least 1,400 people, mostly civilians.
Gaza's Hamas-run Health Ministry says Israel's bombardments have killed more than 3,700 Palestinians, also mainly civilians.
Grandi called the Hamas attacks in Israel on October 7 "appalling" and said that the consequences of the conflict spreading into Lebanon and elsewhere would be "incalculable."

NO KIDDING MOODY DUH! Moody’s warns it could downgrade Israel’s credit rating because of war with Hamas CNN — Moody’s Investors Service warned Thursday it could downgrade Israel’s credit rating due to the severity of the military conflict with Hamas. A downgrade could make it more expensive for Israel to borrow just as the country gears up for what could be a prolonged war. “Israel’s credit profile has proven resilient to terrorist attacks and military conflict in the past,” Moody’s said. “However, the severity of the current military conflict raises the possibility of longer lasting and material credit impact.” Moody’s said its review will focus on the duration and scale of the conflict — and how it impacts Israel’s economy, institutions and public finances. The credit ratings firm said the review could take longer than the typical three-month period. In July, before the deadly terror attacks by Hamas against Israel, Moody’s warned that a controversial overhaul of Israel’s judicial system risked plunging the country into further turmoil that could hurt its economy and security. “There is a significant risk that political and social tensions over the issue will continue, with negative consequences for Israel’s economy edition.cnn.com/2023/10/19/business/moodys-israel-credit-rating-potential-downgrade/index.html |

Well CNN confirmed it on hostage situtatoin released 2 American hostages being released by Hamas, sources say From CNN's Alex Marquardt and Kaitlan Collins Two American hostages, a mother and her daughter, are being released by Hamas, according to a person familiar with the negotiations and a diplomatic source. The two have been handed over to the Red Cross and are “on their way out,” the source familiar with negotiations said. They are being released on “humanitarian grounds” because the mother is in poor health, the same source said. It is unclear whether they will leave Gaza into Egypt or Israel. It is the result of the negotiations between Qatar and Hamas that started after Hamas abducted around 200 people from Israel on October 7. "In response to Qatari efforts, Al-Qassam Brigades released two American citizens (a mother and her daughter) for humanitarian reasons, and to prove to the American people and the world that the claims made by Biden and his fascist administration are false and baseless," Hamas spokesperson Abu Obaida said in a statement.

Now more protests are being called in other Arab countries Hundreds protest in Beirut against Israel's actions in Gaza Several hundred people protested in Beirut to denounce the Israeli offensive on Gaza. Protesters waved the Palestinian and Lebanese flags, along with the flags of Hezbollah and its political ally, the Amal Movement. “The only language is that of resistance,” Hezbollah lawmaker Ali Ammar told the crowd in Beirut, adding “the waves of resistance” extend from Yemen to Iraq, in reference to other Iran-backed political and armed groups across the region. Young protesters burned the American flag, in protest of what they perceived as US support of Israel and its ongoing siege on Gaza following the devastating Hamas terror attacks that killed over 1,000 people in Israel. In the days since the October 7 attacks, Israeli airstrikes have killed more than 4,100 people in Gaza, including hundreds of women and children, according to the health ministry in the territory, which is controlled by Hamas. Lara Al-Shomi brought her 4-year-old daughter with her to the protests. “I want her to know about the Palestinian cause from a young age,” she told CNN. Earlier, at a different, smaller demonstration at Martyrs’ Square in Beirut, protester Abdel Rahman told CNN, “We can’t keep silent anymore. This has crossed all boundaries.” edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-10-20-23/index.html |

Yeah yeah Mr President Biden says trucks carrying humanitarian aid should enter Gaza "within the next 24-48 hours" US President Joe Biden told reporters at the White House Friday that trucks carrying much-needed humanitarian aid should enter Gaza “within the next 24-48 hours,” after delays prevented the convoy from delivering supplies via the critical Rafah crossing from Egypt to Gaza as scheduled Friday. Biden said he "got a commitment from the Israelis and the president of Egypt that the crossing would be opened." "The highway had to be repaved because it was in very bad shape, and I believe that, within the next 24-48 hours, the first 20 trucks will come across with aid," the US leader continued. Some background: CNN has reported throughout the week that supplies remain in limbo at the crossing as concerns rise about the rapidly worsening conditions for the population stuck in the besieged enclave. edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-10-20-23/index.html |

I got better idea how about Hamas releasd hostages Israel Hamas war: UN calls for 'end to the nightmare' as aid trucks enter Gaza and strikes continue The latest updates from the Israel Hamas war. Fighting intensifies along Israel’s border with Lebanon Israeli forces and Hezbollah fighters exchanged fire on Saturday in several areas along the Lebanon-Israel border as violence continues to escalate over the Israel-Hamas conflict. Journalists in south Lebanon heard loud explosions along the border close to the Mediterranean coast. The state-run National News Agency reported that Israeli shelling hit several villages, adding that a car was directly hit in the village of Houla. An Israeli army spokesman said a group of gunmen fired a shell into Israel adding that an Israeli drone then targeted them. He added that another group of gunmen fired toward the Israeli town of Margaliot and a drone attacked them shortly afterwards. “Direct hits were scored in both strikes,” Israeli army spokesman Avichay Adraee posted on X - formerly Twitter. 4,385 Palestinians killed since the start of the war - Hamas Health Ministry At least 4,385 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas on 7 October, the territory's Health Ministry has announced. According to the report, 1,756 children and 967 women are among these deaths. At least 13,561 people have been injured in Gaza, relentlessly bombarded in retaliation for the Hamas attack on Israeli soil. ‘We must act now to end the nightmare’ - UN boss The head of the UN, Antonio Guterres, has called for an end to the conflict, saying "we must act now to put an end to the nightmare".

Even my father think not this enough aid for refugees come on EGYPT Israel-Hamas war: Rafah border crossing with Gaza opens The US embassy in Israel said it didn't know how long the Rafah crossing would stay open for foreign citizens. Meanwhile, Israeli authorities urged citizens to leave Egypt and Jordan immediately. Follow DW for more. Rafah crossing closes after 20 trucks deliver aid The Rafah border crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt closed again on Saturday afternoon after 20 trucks carrying humanitarian aid were allowed to pass through and offload their cargo. An agreement struck by Egypt, Israel and the United States earlier in the week had stipulated that 20 trucks would be allowed to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip. This figure was confirmed on Saturday by the AFP news agency, as well as Egypt's state-owned Al-Qahera News. The trucks belonged to the Egyptian Red Crescent, which is responsible for delivering aid from various UN agencies. Foreign passport holders in Gaza were not allowed to cross into Egypt. 12 minutes ago12 minutes ago Pro-Palestinian rally through London draws 100,000 people About 100,000 people joined a pro-Palestinian demonstration in central London on Saturday, calling for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza. Chanting "Free Palestine," holding banners and waving Palestinian flags, the protesters moved through London before massing at Downing Street, the official residence and office of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. Many of the chants and banners contained strong anti-Israel slogans, and one protester held a banner with images of Sunak, US President Joe Biden, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with the message "Wanted For War crimes." Police had cautioned before the march that anyone showing support for Hamas — banned as a terrorist organization in Britain — would face arrest, and any incident of hate crime would not be tolerated. The protest appeared peaceful and there were no immediate reports of any arrests.

Yeah you got know where what you side you are on The war has forced Israel’s Arab citizens to explain that no, they are not Hamas By Ivana Kottasová and Adi Kopelwitz, CNN When 20-year-old Aya Najame, an Arab Muslim, was a little girl growing up in the northern Israeli port city of Haifa, she would go on cultural exchange trips to Jewish schools to learn about the Jewish way of life. Jewish children would do the same, visiting Najame’s school to learn about her life. Arab citizens and permanent residents in Israel make up just over 20% of the country’s population. The roughly 2 million people are distinct from Palestinians living in the occupied West Bank and Gaza – but they are far from a uniform group. Most are Muslims, but there is also a large Christian Arab minority. And while around 1.5 million hold Israeli citizenship, many of those living in Jerusalem have only permanent residency status and are not full citizens. Some identify as Arabs, some as Palestinians, some as Druze, a religious sect spread throughout Israel, Lebanon and Syria. Some speak fluent Hebrew and live in mixed communities such as Haifa, while others reside in segregated towns and say they feel like second-class citizens due to discrimination from Israeli authorities. Several hundred chose to serve in the Israeli military each year, even though they are exempt from compulsory service. Many have family in the West Bank and Gaza. Haifa is not like the rest of Israel, Najame says. edition.cnn.com/2023/10/21/middleeast/arab-israeli-citizens-cmd-intl/index.html |
