Netanyahu Reportedly Ready to Offer Millions, Safe Passage for Hostage Release
Channel 12 reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is willing to pay “several million dollars” per hostage to secure their release from Hamas captivity. Additionally, the prime minister has allegedly offered “safe passage” out of Gaza for captors and their families if they free their hostages. Netanyahu reportedly issued these instructions during a recent security consultation. Although he mentioned a similar initiative last month, it has not yet made progress.
Report: Muhammad Sinwar Leads Hamas Military Wing in Gaza
According to the Kan public broadcaster, Muhammad Sinwar, brother of Yahya Sinwar, has taken on a leadership role over Hamas’s military operations in Gaza, working alongside a select council of senior commanders. This shift comes without any formal appointment, and Hamas has not publicly acknowledged the reported death of its former military leader Muhammad Deif, whom Israel claims was killed in a July airstrike.
Senior IAF General Under Heightened Security Amid Alleged Iranian Assassination Plot
Reports indicate that a senior IAF general is under increased security due to an alleged Iranian assassination plot. According to UK-based Iranian opposition outlet Iran International, the plot targeted Brigadier General Yotam Sigler, commander of the strategic Nevatim air force base.
An Israeli source explained to Iran International that General Sigler is a high-priority target because Nevatim holds critical importance for Iran. “Nevatim is a significant base not only for fighter operations but also for intelligence, multi-disciplinary tasks, and strategic planning,” the source said.

IAF Intercepts Drone Attacks from Iraq and Lebanon Targeting Northern Israel
This morning, the IAF intercepted two waves of drones targeting northern Israel. The drones included six launched by Iranian-backed forces in Iraq and two launched from Lebanon by Hezbollah.
IAF Strikes in Lebanon Kill Two Hezbollah Commanders, Targeting Key Operations
The IAF conducted strikes in southern Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah’s command capabilities. The strikes eliminated Riyad Reda Ghazzawi, a commander in the Radwan Force’s anti-tank unit, along with another commander responsible for weapons transfers.
IDF Raids Expose and Destroy Hezbollah’s Underground Terror Network in Southern Lebanon
In a series of targeted operations along the southern Lebanon border, IDF troops have uncovered and dismantled significant Hezbollah infrastructure, according to an IDF statement. Based on precise intelligence, these raids focus on heavily wooded areas near the border where Hezbollah has entrenched itself with military sites, weapons caches, missile storage facilities, and compounds intended for infiltration into Israel.
The 188th Brigade’s engineering teams are working to locate, neutralize, and demolish Hezbollah’s network in the region. These efforts are part of a broader IDF campaign to disrupt and dismantle Hezbollah’s terror infrastructure, aiming to secure northern Israeli communities from potential attacks.
IDF Strikes Key Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad Terrorists in Lebanon and Gaza
The IDF announced the elimination of high-profile Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad operatives in Lebanon and Gaza, following precision strikes carried out by the IAF in coordination with ground operations.
In southern Lebanon, the IAF targeted Abu Ali Rida, Hezbollah’s commander in the Baraachit region, who was involved in coordinating rocket and anti-tank attacks on IDF forces. The IDF continues conducting targeted ground raids in Lebanon, dismantling Hezbollah’s infrastructure and neutralizing terrorists. During one raid, forces identified a terrorist near the border, striking the location and triggering multiple secondary explosions.
Simultaneously in Gaza, the IAF, in collaboration with the Shin Bet and IDF troops, eliminated Ahmed Al-Dalu, an Islamic Jihad operative from the group’s Military Intelligence Unit. Al-Dalu was directly involved in the October 7 massacre at Kfar Aza and has been linked to ongoing terrorist plots targeting Israeli civilians.
In ongoing operations throughout Gaza, IDF forces are dismantling terrorist networks, with recent successes in the Rafah area where troops identified and destroyed a terrorist cell storing landmines intended for attacks on Israeli forces.
Israeli Forces Dismantle Hezbollah Terror Compound Aiming for Attacks on Northern Israel
In a targeted raid based on precise intelligence, Israeli troops from the 36th Division, alongside elite Shayetet 13, Yahalom, and Oketz units, supported by the 282nd Brigade, struck a Hezbollah terrorist compound planned for launching infiltrations and attacks on Israeli soil.
Inside the site, troops uncovered underground infrastructure stocked with logistical and medical supplies, military tents, and weapons caches prepared for extended operations. They destroyed rocket launchers, high-powered explosives, anti-tank missiles, mortar shells, and an AK-47 arsenal. A surface-to-air missile launcher concealed in a mountainside track, positioned to target civilian areas in northern Israel, was also dismantled.
During the mission, Israeli forces encountered and neutralized a terrorist within an underground hideout. Secondary explosions were observed as forces completed the dismantling of the compound’s aboveground and subterranean areas.

All the years of bad governance are finally coming down crashing.
We have no one to lean on but our Heavenly Father.
Are you ready for Mashiach?

When you post updates, can you please include the date posted, in addition to the time? (Without the date, it’s hard to tell on which day the news item occured).
Thank you!

@somejewiknow:
You remind me (& all of us) of that person from the town of Chelm, who went to the big city to acquire wisdom. When he arrived to the town square he stopped at one of the stalls in the market. He started a conversation with the merchant. Telling him that hails from Chelm and he came to acquire wisdom. the merchant told him that for Ten rubles he is ready to teach him a trick. the chelm’er gladly paid the Ten Rubles. The merchant put his own hand down on the table. he told the Chelm’er to punch him hard with his fist. The Chelm’er complied. When the merchant pulled his hand away quickly the Chelm’er got his knuckles hurt.
Chelm’er goes back home. His friend asked him…NU, What did you learn in the big town. First get me a table. Friend says there’s no table. Chelm’er puts his hand up against his nose…Punch my hand hard. Chelm’er pulls his hand away auickly. He got his nose punched very hard…!
The story is a bit long. But everyone gets the point. If you’re happy that the “Zionists got punished”, you’re only hurting yourself. Your own nose is knocked out of shape…LOL…!
Shoot them out of the sky. They are potentially in the act of committing a henious crime. This is war time: first shoot and them investigate.
To Sketch Master:
You wrote a nice comment there.
I have a funny feeling that some of the people that can write nasty comments about Zionists getting killed, they are the same guys who travel to Iran and kiss all the top people in the government. I don’t know for sure if this guy is connected to Iran, but in general when you meet someone who tells you that he is excited that Jews are getting beheaded and burnt alive in the ovens, this guy is one day going to get it big. Even the 80% who never left Mitzraim, they were 100 billion times better than these rotten animals who go to Iran and kiss and hug all the big terrorists.
To the people who are writing comments against the Israeli army:
I read in a Sefer different stories about the
חורבן בית שני
To make a long story short, during the Churban while the gentiles were tearing us to pieces, there were a number of Jewish people that were attacking other Jewish people, literally simultaneously, the gentiles were smashing us and common sense would tell us that all the Jewish people should unite and fight together one common enemy. Instead what happened, some Jewish people chose to attack other Jewish people at the exact same time when the gentiles were attacking us.
From the comments above I can see very clearly that history repeats itself.
Let us not forget, that when Hitler killed 6 million Yidden, he took everyone, he didn’t care if you were Satmar, Lubavitch, Bobov, Belz, Gur, Breslov, Nusach Ashkenaz, Nusach Sefard, he couldn’t care less, if you had Jewish blood, you were shoved into cattle cars, once you got shoved into a cattle car, you were not physically able to hurt another Yid. So I ask you, was it really worth it to hurt so many Yidden during the past 30 years and now you find yourself in a cattle car on the way to Auschwitz????????????
This is what happened by the
חורבן בית שני
————
This is what happened in Europe during the years of 1936, 1937,1938 and etc. Kristal Nacht was the first punishment.
This is exactly was is happening today 2024- history repeats itself.
@Avraham:
Harav Amnon Yitzchak once, in an argument with one of these criminally insane animals predicted that one day their Arab friends will (ch”v)kill them .ו
Israel is making every mistake in the book we have no right to bomb Iran nukes or to not surrender for prisoner exchange with gaza and to keep on killing purely innocent people if their leaders believe in a monetary and better life conflict on the Moslem belief that they are now the Jews with rights to the land that was stolen from them and they are getting discriminated from a paper dirty USA money that is haughtiness but the people that will be there in the last and end when the state of Israel is no longer maybe are the anti zionist that hurt nothing and nobody but peoples wrong dreams cause the evil state will not bring us close to any moshiach only bad stuff no neshamah will come to the geulah with a smell of the state of hellinisum and these people that know they are Jewish and can get killed might be the last people in Jerusalem that they will let stay there and this is saving those children that come from arab marriage that no person can talk about but recently saw a video on YouTube of the Israeli army carrying a dead body out of a old house in a Palestinian village probably from a kidnapping
This had to write in separate comment on the last thing realize that in the mikvah the people but on the tzitzose and shirt first underwear come after that
