Can't help but think that all hope died with Ariel Sharon.

In an alternate timeline where he lived another term or two all this poo poo could be over by now or at least on the path to it instead of this endless death spiral. The idea of any concessions by Israel is now even more dead and buried than he is. It can really only end violently now.

IDF says schools to remain closed across the country amid fighting
By Emanuel Fabian
Today, 3:30 pm

The Israel Defense Forces announces that schools across the entire country will remain closed in the coming days amid ongoing fighting between Israel and terror groups in the Gaza Strip, as the Home Front Command extends existing restrictions.

Additionally, businesses south of Netanya and north of the central Negev can only be opened if there is ready access to bomb shelters, the military says.

Gatherings are restricted to 10 people outdoors and 50 people indoors in those areas, the IDF Home Front Command says.

The restrictions are valid till Tuesday at 6 p.m., but will likely be extended further amid the fighting.

The primary way the BJP stays in power is to engender hatred of Muslims inside India, so it follows from that. The fact that Israel bombs Muslims is good enough for them.

Residents of the northern city of Safed report that Israeli air defense systems are engaging projectiles over the area.

It is unclear if rockets were fired at the area, or a possible drone attack. Sirens did not sound in Safed or nearby towns.

Safed houses the IDF Northern Command headquarters, and a Patriot system is stationed in the area.

There is no immediate comment from the Israeli military on the incident.

Earlier, Hezbollah fired a number of rockets at IDF border positions in “solidarity” with Hamas. the IDF responded with artillery fire.

The incidents spark fears the conflict could spread to a second front.

Good news for Israeli hostages held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip - The Israel Defense Forces established a situation room to focus on putting together accurate information regarding the Israeli hostages held by the Hamas group in the Gaza Strip.


IDF sets up situation room to figure out how many hostages Hamas took into Gaza
By Emanuel Fabian and Agencies
3hr ago

The Israel Defense Forces says it has established a situation room to focus on putting together accurate information regarding the Israeli hostages held by the Hamas terror group in the Gaza Strip.

Hamas gunmen took an unknown number of civilians and soldiers captive into Gaza after overrunning several military bases and communities.

Social media was filled with horrifying videos of men, women and children being carried into the Strip, many of them appearing to have been abused. There were also videos published of dead Israelis taken, including soldiers.

The head of the IDF Personnel Directorate, Maj. Gen. Yaniv Asor, appoints Lior Carmeli, a general in reserves, to head the team.

The IDF says the team will compile a “situational picture” for locating the captives, both soldiers and civilians.” Amid all the complexity and uncertainty, it is necessary to issue reliable messages as quickly as possible.

“Some families have already received messages about their loved ones,” the IDF says.

Police and the IDF Home Front Command have also established a situation room to identify those killed in the attacks using DNA samples provided by families.

A long line of Israelis with missing relatives snaked outside a police station in central Israel to supply investigators with DNA samples and other means that could help identify their family members.

Writing on X, opposition chief Yair Lapid calls on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to immediately appoint a coordinator for missing and captive Israelis “so that there will be someone to work with the families.”

An Egyptian official says Israel has sought help from Cairo to ensure the safety of the hostages, and that Egypt’s intelligence chief had contacted Hamas and the smaller but more radical Islamic Jihad group, which also took part in the incursion, to seek information. Egypt has often mediated between the two sides in the past.

The official says Palestinian leaders claimed that they don’t yet have a “full picture” of hostages, but said those who were brought into Gaza were taken to “secure locations” across the territory.

“It’s clear that they have a big number — several dozens,” says the official, who asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to brief media.
