At 6:30am local time in Israel, Palestinian militants and their terrorist partners started launching hundreds (now thousands) of missiles and rockets into southern and central Israel towns, cities and communities.
Six hours later the barrage of missiles continues to fly into Israel.
Interestingly among all this is the unlikely and unprecedented number of sirens and alerts going off in and around Jerusalem, the Holy City. Fortunately the Iron Domes have intercepted several missiles (easily visible in the clear morning light) headed towards Jerusalem.
What makes this ‘tit for tat’ different from all other ‘tit for tats’?
Palestinian militants in full gear, armed, trained and in vehicles infiltrated southern Israel. According to Israeli military sources the infiltration was by sea, land and air.
Along with street battles, it is being reported that Israeli civilians have been kidnapped and are being held hostage in locations unknown. Reports say in several instances Israeli civilians are being held hostage in their own homes.
There are conflicting reports of the number of Israeli civilian dead, with over 200 civilians injured and wounded.
As late as 12:30pm on Saturday afternoon, mothers, fathers and children in southern towns and kibbutzim report they are still trapped in their homes surrounded by Palestinian militia shooting into their homes and in some cases setting homes on fire.
Israeli civilians begging and weeping for help from Israeli police and IDF – where are they?!
Wake up Israel – see the truth – Bibi does not care about you!! He never has.
He’s too busy keeping himself out of jail and destroying the judicial along with keeping his radical, right wing, orthodox, theocratic, homophobic, racist, misogynist male coalition partners happy and handing them the treasury.
We are in a state of war, we will win announces Prime Minister in hiding Bibi Netanyahu
Earlier today Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said the same thing.
However we have breaking news!!! While Israelis in southern towns and communities are trapped in their homes, Bibi has named this war: Operation Swords of Iron.
Bravo Bibi!!! Israel will sleep well tonight in comfort and contentment.
Meanwhile questions are mounting concerning the great (or lack of) military intelligence and Bibi’s security teams (where are they?)
One can only image how much intelligence is lacking.
- How did the Gaza based militants make, purchase and stockpile thousands of rockets and missiles, along with their launchers without Israel detecting anything?
- How did Gaza based militants train and prepare for a massive infiltration into Israel?
Well equipped with vehicles, uniforms and weaponry they obviously had maps and definitive plans to enable them to engage in street gun battles and surround civilian homes.
Up to date information includes reports that there are more than 20 ‘active scenes’ of on the ground gun battles between Palestinian militants and Israeli civilians, police and IDF troops.
These ‘active scenes’ include the infiltration of Palestinian militants into southern kibbutzim where terrified mothers, children, fathers are trapped in their homes surrounded by armed Palestinian terrorists.
Hypocrisy of the United Nations Personnel, Foreign Journalists, Diplomats and Human Rights Organizations
It’s most likely United Nations personnel, human rights activists, diplomats and foreign journalists stationed in Gaza know very well what was being planned.
- How could they not see the movement of large, heavy missile launchers?
- How could they not be aware of the massive training of militants?
- How could they not be aware of over 5000 rockets and missiles being built, assembled or smuggled into Gaza?
But to survive there, all of these hypocrites must do what Hamas and every other terror organization wants.
Shame on the Gaza based foreign press, UN personnel and diplomats! Shame on you all!!!
50 Years Ago Plus One Day, Happy Anniversary
On October 6, 1973 war broke out between Egypt and Israel on the southern border along the Sinai Desert and Suez Canal and with Syria along the northern front of the Golan Heights. YOM KIPPUR 1973 (MY BLOG)
Just like that day 50 years ago, today October 7th is a gorgeous end of summer, autumn warm day where Israel is not only celebrating the Sabbath, but celebrating a holiday. For today is Simchat Torah.
And once again Israel is allegedly caught napping.
Or is this just another Bibi tactic to divert attention from the protests and demonstrations?
Another Bibi war of diversion or his colossal failure?
Bibi Netanyahu made only one public statement in Israel saying he is going to convene his cabinet at 1pm on Saturday afternoon (6 1/2 hours since the attacks began).
Bibi has not made any statements to the Israeli press.
However he has already been interviewed by American press.
WAKE UP ISRAEL – BIBI DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU.
Bibi Netanyahu that great master of incitement has no boundaries or scruples when it comes to waging war, violence, anger, division and hurt. He has had years to fine tune his methodology and tactics. BIBI’S ANTI-PEACE PLAYBOOK
The situation we are now in will stop the protests and demonstrations against the judicial overhaul and the massive funding to orthodox communities, institutions, educational facilities and rabbis who by the way aren’t getting into their uniforms and joining the thousands of reservists being called up. BIBI’S 2021 WAR OF DIVERSION
The radical right wing zealot racists in Bibi’s coalition will now demand that Israel confiscate (illegally) more land in the West Bank as a means to punish the Gazans – if that makes sense to you, congratulations!!!
And Yair Lapid along with other members of the opposition fall right into the Bibi trap. They don’t hesitate to support whatever military excursions will take place into Gaza.
Meanwhile, television pundits and members of security organizations are outraged that Bibi, so busy with internal nonsense and his hatred for the ‘left’ created a situation that has made Israel vulnerable like it has never been vulnerable before in recent history. BIBI’S COLOSSAL FAILURE OR PURE ARROGANCE
The start of a ‘great revolution’
Muhammed Deif, a commander of Hamas terrorist operations declared today the ‘start of a great revolution.’ He is calling for Israeli Arabs, residents of East Jerusalem and Arabs in all neighboring countries to rise up against Israel. Time will tell.
As Israel starts to bombard Gaza, targeting known terrorist workshops, the number of missiles from Gaza penetrating Israel has not stopped nor slowed down.
Hezbollah located in Lebanon continues to praise the actions of the Gaza terror organizations. They claim this revolution is in response to peace treaties and normalization between Israel and regional Muslim nations. It is also in response to their claim of Israel desecrating Islamic holy sites in Jerusalem and West Bank.
This is from Saturday morning and early afternoon. On the ground reporting. The numbers of wounded, dead and kidnapped is still unclear. What is clear – Bibi must resign.
