Day 47 unfolds in the ongoing conflict between Gaza and Israel, and I, Y. Pinto, report to you from Israel. The clashes persist on Israel’s northern frontier, engaging with Syria and Lebanon. It seems Kisala has been debilitated by relentless Israeli assaults targeting missile launchers, weapon caches, and various strategic points throughout Lebanon. Kisala’s primary ally, the Islamic Republic of Iran, endeavors to funnel an increasing supply of weaponry through Syria.
The Israeli and United States Air Forces, in tandem, vigilantly oversee the Syrian skies, identifying weapon stockpiles, weapons convoys, and recently a discovered airfield employed by Iran to transport new munitions, including long-range missiles to Kisala in Lebanon. The joint forces efficiently dismantled the entire airfield, eradicating all terrorists within.
In another Syrian incident, the United States Air Force identified a convoy disguised as UN humanitarian trucks. Israeli intelligence unveiled that these trucks weren’t dispatched by the United Nations. Subsequently, the United States successfully annihilated the convoy. Later revelations disclosed that these trucks were transporting long-range missiles destined for Kisala in Lebanon. The collaborative efforts of Israel and the United States thwarted Iran’s plan to escalate tensions on the northern front against Israel.
Amid attacks targeting Kisala’s leadership in bunkers within Lebanon, the IDF successfully neutralized multiple Kisala leaders, prompting Kisala to dispatch four terror units to retaliate by assaulting an IDF military base in Israel. The IDF, identifying and pursuing these units with tanks and unmanned aerial vehicles, effectively neutralized them as they attempted to retreat to their bases and subterranean positions in Lebanon. The IDF further identified the terror command positions of Kisala and eradicated these locations, taking the offensive against Kisala in Lebanon by preemptively targeting and neutralizing their positions.
Simultaneously, on the southern front against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, IDF forces conducted intense operations against Hamas militants in Jabalia. Operating from the Indonesian Hospital, similar to the tactics within the Shifa Medical Center, Hamas utilized civilian locations and hospitals for their operations against Israeli soldiers. Suspicious activities were observed in a building adjacent to the hospital, where IDF troops identified a group of Hamas terrorists disguised as the Red Crescent humanitarian organization.
Upon closer monitoring, it was revealed that Hamas was kidnapping civilians, using them as human shields to access an underground weapon stockpile in Jabalia. A fierce 10-hour battle ensued, involving tanks and specialized units. Hamas militants opened fire as the tanks approached, allowing Israeli troops to discern between militants and civilians. Despite the protracted struggle, the IDF ultimately neutralized the Hamas terrorists, liberated the Palestinian civilians held as hostages, and seized control of the weapon stockpile in that area.
Hamas’s operational methods, utilizing the civilian population as human shields, are well-documented. Amidst ongoing developments, a deal was brokered between Israel and Hamas, aiming to release 50 Israeli hostages in exchange for 150 Palestinian prisoners. Tragically, reports indicate that some of the Israeli hostages intended for release were discovered deceased in Hamas captivity. A call to prayer resonates, urging unity for the safe release of Israeli hostages in Gaza and for the IDF to persist in dismantling Hamas’s influence before it extends beyond Israel. Let us collectively pray for the safety of the courageous IDF soldiers risking their lives daily in this battle and for the peace of Jerusalem.
