Final Stage in Gaza Begun
The IDF has begun its ground maneuver in Gaza City, and Israel is encouraging the 800,000 residents of the city to flee south to safety while they still can.
Gaza City, the heart of Hamas’s terror empire, with terror infrastructures above and below ground, is about to be wiped off the map to ensure it is never a terror center again. No more ceasefires. Now it is until victory.
Hamas Propaganda Chief Killed
What was the most dangerous weapon of Hamas? It wasn’t firepower. It was weaponized propaganda.
It was footage. It was the narrative of a fake famine. It was hostages on camera. The hostage release fiasco wasn’t humanitarian. This was psychological warfare, and its worldwide effect has worked. For a time.
Leading this massive machine of lies was Abu Obeida, the masked face of Hamas’s propaganda wing who the IDF just killed in a precision strike. He was the man behind the hostage videos, the staged “famine,” the cynical manipulation of the emotions of the Israeli population.
He wasn’t just a “spokesman.”He was Hamas’s chief psychological operations officer overseeing a propaganda army larger than Israel’s own communication units.
1,500 terrorists.Each Hamas battalion with its own “deputy commander for hasbara.”
Every terror squad, accompanied by a trained “operational documenter” with a GoPro and a mission: Not to fight but to film.
That’s what Hamas built. That’s what Abu Obeida commanded. And last week the monster was finally eliminated by a pinpoint IDF strike. Interestingly, it was a call about a fake news story over the weekend regarding the fictitious kidnapping of four IDF soldiers that allowed him to be traced, tracked down, and eliminated.
Every Hamas attack, every hostage parade, every so-called “release ceremony”, Abu Obeida was behind it. He briefed the hostages. He staged the scenes. He wrote the scripts. He even picked the “gifts.” He was the evil mastermind behind the Gaza City mind games.
Now he’s gone to his reward, when the IDF finally caught up with him and blew up his apartment.
His actions were brutally evil because when Hamas pushed those videos into the West, CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera and even some in Israeli media, suddenly, Hamas’s narrative became the world’s reality.
“Genocide.” “Starving children.” “Ceasefire now.”
All while Hamas hoarded aid. All while they launched rockets from schools, hospitals, mosques and UN facilities. All while Israeli soldiers died trying to avoid civilian harm.
And let’s not forget: The international pressure inside of Israel and especially on Israel’s government and PM Netanyahu, was insane.
The major cities around the world including the U.S. and Israel protested parroting Hamas talking points.
Israeli Arabs marched in solidarity with those who butchered the Jewish people on October 7, protesting “starving Gaza children”.
And it was all done for one purpose! Satan, the chief architect of hate against Israel was constantly able to use Abu Obeida to create public pressure to stop the IDF war in Gaza.
But through all of that PM Netanyahu’s government didn’t fold. The IDF didn’t blink. The Israeli people didn’t break. And the Lord, who neither slumbers or sleeps, graciously remembered His promises to protect the chosen people!
Today, the IDF military operation in Gaza City has started.
Not as punishment. But as justice.
The capital city of terror will be destroyed. The propaganda head is dead. The psychological war that tried to stop the war? Defeated.
Trump’s Plan for Post-War Gaza
Tourism, technology, smart cities, digital tokens for housing – these are all part of the 38-page plan the Trump administration has released for what a post-war Gaza might look like. Citizens who aren’t fans of the new plan would be allowed to emigrate with $5,000 cash, food for a year, and four years of rent money. The new Gaza would depend on $100 billion of private investment and could turn the coastline into a new riviera.
Israeli Minister, Annex Most of West Bank
Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has drawn up plans for Judea and Samaria that would ultimately annex 82% to Israel. While six major cities would continue to belong to the Palestinians, the remainder would be open to Israeli settlement.
It’s unclear where the rest of the government stands on this issue, and some of Israel’s Abraham Accords friends, like the United Arab Emirates, have warned against the move.
Houthis Collapsing in Yemen
It was a bad week for Yemen. After two years of steady attacks on Israel, the IDF struck back against the Houthis on Thursday in a decisive way.
In Operation Drop of Luck, the Israeli military located a villa in which almost the entirety of the Houthi government and leadership were meeting. One bunker buster bomb later, 20 terrorists were killed and dozens more were wounded. Among the dead were the Houthi Prime Minister and at least nine ministers from his cabinet.
With the head of the snake removed, the rest of the serpent is flailing. The few leaders who are left are fleeing Sana’a. Just a reminder, these men were a legitimate target. They may have all had their “minister” titles, but they were not a legitimate government. They were simply terrorists who wore suits that were bought and paid for with Iranian money.
Iran Moves Nuclear Cooling Systems
In preparation for a possible follow-up attack on their nuclear plants by Israel, Iran has dismantled and moved the cooling systems from the Natanz uranium enrichment facility. Probably a wise move. But, Iran shouldn’t get too comfortable. The Mossad has enough assets in the country to know wherever the cooling systems end up.
