It is now Sunday AM as I write this. There have been two groups of hostages released. That includes 26 Israeli women and children. At the same time Hamas has released an additional 17 Thai workers and one Filipino (not part of the agreement, unconditionally, and whom should have been freed long ago). And, as … More Gaza War 26 Nov

The first stages of the hostage deal have taken place. I won’t know more about them until Sunday, or at least until after sunset on Saturday night I hope things go well. On a similar note, I’ve heard a report that Hamas intends to release all 23 Thai agricultural workers that were abducted on October … More Gaza War 24 Nov

The first item this morning was an announcement that the hostage release will delayed for another day. Why? Because Qatar and Hamas have not yet signed the agreement. This sounds to me like an invented excuse. As I warned before, Hamas will look for any way possible to drag this out. Hizbullah said the “pause” … More Gaza War 23 Nov

A hostage exchange for Prisoners deal has been approved by both Israel and Hamas. This evening Hamas will provide a list of 10-12 names of hostages that will be released to the Red Cross tomorrow morning. The Red Cross will hand them over to the IDF. After they are in Israeli custody, the IDF will … More Gaza War 22 Nov

There isn’t a lot to report today, which is good, because of my injured hands. Hostages concluded any day now. Don’t hold your breathe. Hamas will drag this out as long as possible, and after an initial deal for 50?, (whenever that actually happens) at a rate of 10 per week, will continue offering just … More Gaza War 21 Nov

Yesterday I tripped and fell 0n the sidewalk leading to our house. Both hands have slight injuries. This makes typing difficult and may affect this, and future, daily reports. Israel has released more data about the tunnels under Al-Shifa hospital. Exploring the tunnel connections is a slow process due to precautions taken to protect IDF … More Gaza War 20 Nov

Hostage negotiations are proceeding slowly (if at all). Israel asked for more to be released, and Hamas responded by saying they aren’t sure where they are. This is exactly what I said they would do. The media focuses on possible Israeli easing of demands or making more concessions. What we don’t see on the mainstream … More Gaza War 19 Nov

Three Arab Terrorists tried to stage an incident at the tunnel road leading to Jerusalem from the south. An alert guard halted them for inspection. At that point they took out their weapons and began shooting. One of the IDF guards was killed, others injured, and all three terrorists were killed. This incident resulted in … More Gaza War 17 Nov

The UN Security Council finally passed a resolution calling for a pause in the fighting. It took five tries to get acceptable wording. The main block was that the earlier proposed resolutions condemned Israel, but not Hamas. Shows how far most of the world is out of touch with reality. The diplomatic channel is reported … More Gaza War 18 Nov

My prediction about the next move Hamas would try came true only a short while after it was posted. The unfortunate victim was IDF Private Noa Marciano. She was just 19 years old. She was assigned to the unit that kept watch on the border using cameras. Hamas disabled those cameras at the start of … More Gaza War 15 Nov
