Until now, we have believed that on October 7, 3,000 members of Hamas, accompanied by a few hundred ordinary Gazans eager to join in the murderous fun, smashed into Israel and proceeded to rape, torture, mutilate, and murder 1,200 Israelis and to kidnap 251 more, who were dragged back to Gaza on the back of lorries, in cars, and on motorbikes. Now the IDF has revised that figure upward, suggesting that the total number of Gazans who took part was 6,000, double what was previously believed. Of those, not 3,000, but 3,800 were Hamas members, and not a “few hundred,” but rather, 2,200 Gazans who were not members of Hamas enthusiastically joined in the rapes, tortures, and murders of Israelis that were committed that day. 1,000 others were involved in firing rockets from Gaza into Israel. More on this revision upward can be found here: “Report: New IDF assessment shows some 6,000 Gazans invaded Israel on Oct. 7,” Times of Israel, August 31, 2024:
New assessments indicate twice as many Gazans breached the border into Israel on October 7 than previously believed, Channel 12 reported Saturday, citing data compiled by the Israel Defense Forces’ Gaza Division.
Some 3,800 terrorists from the Hamas terror group’s elite Nukhba forces smashed through the border fence, the report said, among a total of 6,000 Gazans who crossed into Israel that day.
Hitherto, figures made public indicated that some 3,000 Hamas-led terrorists participated in the invasion, massacre and hostage-taking that day. That number did not take into account Gazans who crossed the fence and participated in the atrocities but were not Hamas members, nor did it differentiate between Nukhba terrorists and other Hamas terrorists.
It was unclear from the report what the status was of the 2,200 other Gazans who infiltrated Israel on October 7. Presumably, many were civilians, as extensive footage of the onslaught showed many enter to loot and take part in the assault, while others were likely members of other Hamas units or other terrorist organizations such as the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
The TV report also said that the border was breached in 119 spots — again, about double the previously widely cited figure of 60 breaches in the Gaza-Israel fence.
The IDF now has calculated there were twice the number of Gazan killers than previously believed, as well as twice the number of places where those killers smashed through the border into Israel. A much larger operation, in other words, than previously believed.
Additionally, 1,000 terrorists inside Gaza were involved in firing rockets at Israel that day, the report said, meaning that a total of some 7,000 Gazans took part in the onslaught….
5,000 rockets were fired from Gaza into Israel within a few hours on the morning of October 7,, designed to divert the IDF’s attention, and that of Israeli civilians, too, from the surprise ground invasion taking place in southern Israel to the rocket barrage in the skies above.
What does this upward revision, both in the numbers of Hamas members who entered Israel that day, and of ordinary Gazans eager to indulge their bloodlust against the hated Jews, mean? It means that Hamas’ crack troops, who are known as the Nukhba (Hamas’ elite commando unit; “Nukhba” means “elite” in Arabic) has even more operatives than the IDF had estimated. The IDF is still not sure of the Nukhba’s total force, nor of the total number of Hamas operatives in Gaza, though the figure of 35,000 has often been mentioned, with the IDF claiming to have killed 17,000, or almost half of the Hamas operatives in Gaza.
Of more ghastly interest is the news about the far greater number of “ordinary Gazans” who eagerly took part in the atrocities of October 7. Until now, the IDF has said that “a few hundred Gazans” were believed to have accompanied Hamas when it smashed into Israel. Now the IDF believes that close to ten times that many — 2,200 — of these non-Hamas Gazans took part in the atrocities. It says something about just how widespread is the bloodlust and murderousness toward “the Jews” among ordinary Gazans. And these are the people with whom Israel is expected to “make peace.” These new figures should give pause to Kamala Harris, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, EU Foreign Minister Josep Borrell, and all the international bienpensants and buttinskys from Pope France to Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby. Perhaps they will now have the decency to be less free with their advice to the Jewish state on what it “must do” when it is dealing not just with Hamas, but with the terror group’s willing homicidal collaborators in the general population. No, just kidding. Of course they won’t.

Jihadwatchers know that Palestinian =hamas, hamas=evil, evil=Satan.
It still boggles my mind that so many can not comprehend this basic, simple fact!

Walter Sieruk says
That 7000 Gazans took part in those October 7th 2023 jihadist murderous Hamas massacres shows that not all the Muslim citizens of Gaza aren’t just ‘innocent civilians.” Furthermore, Hamas had gotten to power by the majority vote and the Gaza election ,and Hamas is very clear in the charter the its top goal is the destroy Israel and with an Islamic state.
Therefore, regarding that election result which put Hamas into power In Gaza that means that the majority of the Gazan voters had , in effect brought this destructive war on themselves.
In addition, all those Muslim citizens Gazan since the voted Hamas into power and they all know ,or should have known how the jihadists Hamas feel about the Jewish people , those non-combative Muslim Gazan citizens much feel exactly the same way about Jews and the Hamas members do.
All that vicious spite and deadly hate filled malice for the Jewish people because they have for didn’t come from their own imagination.
For according to Qu ran ,which is the entire foundation of Islam, the Jews are “apes and swine in human form.” Such vicious and malice -filled vicious murderous spite and hate of jihadist Muslims ,as those of Hamas ,Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad for the Jewish people is based upon the foundation of Islam’s “holy book” the Qu ‘ran.
The roots of this awful Muslim murderous hostility towards the Jewish people is the result of a firm but blind and unquestioning Muslim faith in the Qu ‘ran. Which instructs in violence and killing for the cause of Islam. As found in, for example, 4: 89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4.
In other words the Qu ‘ran inspires and causes such hideous violence. Furthermore, another role the Koran has in such deadly Islamic terror attacks in the Jewish nation of Israel is that the Koran contains many negative about the Jewish people.
The reason that the Qu ‘ran reads as it does have much to do with the history of the founder and prophet of Islam, who is Muhammad. This is for a specific time period of his life Muhammad lived among many Jewish people and he liked them at first.
Later then they would not accept his claim of being of prophet, Muhammad then took is dislike to them that then turned into bitterness and even hate for them. So in the hate and bitterness he spoke many derogatory things about the as even referring to them as “apes and swine.” Such word of bitterness and hate, along with other thing he said, where written down on things and then later after his death those words were together and then eventually, in time went in the composition of the Qu ‘ran.
Therefore, that why the Koran reads and in does about the Jewish people, as in calling them descendants of “apes and swine.” As seen in the Qu ‘ran in 2:65; 7:166.; 5:60.
Furthermore, as a Christian I can keyboard that there is a chance the Muhammad actually might had been a prophet but the important thing to understand is that Muhammad was NOT a prophet send by God. Instead, Muhammad was a deceptive, lying false prophet send by Satan to lead many people astray and even and straight into hell. Jesus, in fact, had predicted and warned of the coming of such men as Muhammad. For Jesus taught “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:15. In addition, the Bible further warns that “many false prophets have gone out into the world.” First John 4:1.
Walter Sieruk says
Since the Qu ‘ran has many terribly awful things in it about the Jewish people calling then “apes and pigs in human form. 2:65; 7:166.; 5:60. This naturally played a large part the Hamas jihadists and those non –Hamas Gazan Muslims viciously murderously attacking the unarmed peaceful Jewish people on October 7th 2023.
Therefore, the he question is the Qu ‘ran really divine or its it a hoax ? Thus, the question should than be asked “Does the Qu’ ran have errors and contradictions in it ?”
The answer to that question is found on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Qu‘ran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Qu’ran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]? The above is inconsistent and illogical. Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Qu ‘ran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Quran is right.”
Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Quran.
Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Quran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.” In addition , in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet Caner and Eethi Caner has shown that the Quran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’ Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.”
In conclusion, the Qu ‘ran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.
Even though the above essay was posted before, it should now be added that the last statement of the above that “the Qu ‘ran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.” To put this in a Biblical way. As in from the Bible, it may be truly explained that the Qu ‘ran is a deceptive work of “the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.” Ephesians 14:12.. [N.I.V.]

I have to say first, to comment on your “bible”, that Satan has made man make MANY different bibles! Just look in a bible book store, or try to look up a bible verse online, and try to find the most authenic, and true bible, the KJV, and it might take someone awhile, because I said, there are so many different names for so many different bibles, with many words, and verses changed around (and only you could mess up the chapter number!), and it’s no wonder, that Christians will fight among themselves, about what words or verses THEIR bible uses, and the meaning of them too. (And Satan laughs).
And also God gives a warning in our bible, about changing, omitting, or adding to, His Word! Now what bible would honor that?
The different “names” goes also for churches. Satan made man divide themselves up into many different religions, with many different churches having different names and denominations, and again, the fight is on, on who’s religion is the truest one, and who’s church is the best.
It’s pretty sad, but no one can say that Satan is the god of happeness, truthfulness, and joy (Wait, that’s kamala! lol).
We are told in our bibles, a LOT about Satan. About how he is the “god of this world”,(and then people have the nerve to blame bad things that happen to them on God!), and his characteristics, so that we may know him, for who he is. And how “Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.”
Speaking of him being “the god of this world”, I’m sure someone would agree with me, that he’s just one of MANY gods in this world (but he’s the real one). There’s Hindu gods, and many other countries, have THEIR own made up false god or gods.
So when someone talks about “god”, it really makes me mad, because they could pulling the wool over someone’s eyes, but saying “yeah, they believe in god”, so ok, but WHICH god?? There are MANY! If you can speak Jesus’s name, then your good to go! Ask a demon to say His name, and they’ll anything to get away from THAT subject! They can’t.
Also, just in case someone doesn’t know this, when writing about a god, having it spelled with a little “g”, usually means their speaking of Satan, or some other god, but not the TRUE God, which is always given a captial “G”.
Ok, about your comment. One, our bible NEVER speaks about the Quran. So you lied about that?
And I shouldn’t be shocked about what I’m about to say next, as I just spoke about it above. Tell just three people, one line of verse of the bible, and then have them repeat it to another, without looking at being wrote down, and your bound to get three different versions of that verse.
And so, it really took me awhile, to find your last verse you posted. I even copied and pasted it, in my search box online, and I FINALLY found some kind of version of what it really says. So I’m gonna post your verse here, and then another version of the verse I finally found in some random website (finally!) and then post what my KJV says, ok? Just to show you, that everyone sees or reads it, or writes it, WRONG, unless your reading from the one true bible, the KJV.
I think yours was the worst one, for one, putting the word “Bible”, with that awful and evil word “Quran”, in the same sentence. And THEN, it took me awhile, to find out, that you gave your “all messed up verse”, the wrong chaper and verse, because Ephesians only goes to Chapter 6, (NOT Chapter 14, verse 12, as what YOU put)
I hope no one, takes your LONG comment to heart, in anything you wrote, as reading/writing from the WRONG bible to start with (N.I.V., which I would NEVER touch!), almost considers you a “False Prophet”! Good thing the Pope (whoever is in office at the time of the “coming soon” 7 year Tribulation), has THAT title, or will soon have!
01. YOUR verse:
As in from the Bible, it may be truly explained that the Qu ‘ran is a deceptive work of “the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.” Ephesians 14:12 [N.I.V.] WRONG..Next?
02. Verse from some website:
Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.
Eh, doesn’t sound like yours, but they managed to get a word or two that were correct, as you did.
(They added more, but I just wanted to get the part that you wrote). Ephesians 4:11-16 is what this website posted.
Here is the link, for where I FINALLY found your little verse. (It’s with a bunch of other supposedly verse stuff, within verses 11-16, in that website)
https://www.cccnewnan.org/quicklinks/five-fold
You’ll have to scroll down quite a bit, until you find this title (and I laughed when I first read it).
“The Five-fold Ministries help mature believers and protect the church from false doctrine.” (Another false teacher, and there are MANY online!)
I’ll go ahead and tell you what is correct and that is Ephesians Chapter 4, Verse 14 (Written as Ephesians 4:14). Does that look anyway like yours? Nope.
03. Now, let’s hear from my God, and His Word.
Ephesians 4:14
“That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness whereby they lie in wait to deceive.”
Now look at all 3, and see how they could possibly mean so many different things to different people, if you just change many words to mean many different things.
I could go into the history of why people think that the KJV is this and that, and so and so lied, and blah blah blah. These people just refuse the history and make up things about this bible because they work for Satan, and they don’t want anyone to believe the truth! So they make up stuff about it, so conned people will turn away from it, and find another bible. Satan is so crafty!
Walter Sieruk says
In many ways KJV is superior to the NIV . You do have point . For example the KJV reads “Beware of false of prophets ….” By contrast the NIV reads “Watch out for false Prophets …” The word “Beware is a much better word than the words “Watch out”. Beware is stronger therefore better For there ins no signs that “Watch for dog ” but only “Beware of Dog” So when i do quote about the coming of man as Muhammad I do quote the KJV or the NKJV not the NIV.
On the other hand , the NIV in more clear in Proverbs 15:15 in in describing the misery of existing under tyranny than the KJV
Mike says
And the leaders of Britain, America, Canada, Australia and other Western countries are in the process of importing thousands of these delightful, upstanding Gazans….what, pray tell, could possibly go wrong?!
Ben says
On oct 8 Israel should have turned terror base gaza into a smouldering ruin. It was stupid of them not to do that.
cornelius says
I’ve heard from one source that many of the October 7 rapes/murders were conducted by Gazan civilians who followed the Hamas invasion force into Israel just to enjoy some of the spoils. This could be Hamas propaganda designed to exonerate the terrorist group from some of the worst atrocities…..or it could be true, a reflection of the moral depravity and rabid Jew hatred of the average Gazan civilian.
Take your pick.
Rick Olsha says
AM ISRAEL CHAI !!!!!!!
nyTRUMPlover says
Hopefully, the IDF is identifying by all forensic means, every muzzieScum who participated in this orgy of rape, torture and slaughter. Every one of these muzzieScum should be tried and then hung out to dry before being immolated and their ashes mixed with pig blood.
Frankly, even that is not enough. Gaza should be razed to the ground and the remaining muzzieScum left to rebuild it . . . or not.
Nancy Albert says
Given the training to slaughter Jews from toddler on, there is no hope that Gaza’s population will ever be reformed. I hope the Israelis will develop a secret of method of radiation to render them infertile. At least cripple their population explosion fueled by polygamy.
Jo Alex SG says
Now, imagine the much greater numbers of those who also support the different jihadist groups and terrorist communists of the PLO! There are several videos of such rabid Palestinian supporters of jihadism confessing it on the internet!
Thank you, shared it all over! Unfortunately, due to the totalitarian leftist regime here in Brazil, I can’t share it on XTwitter anymore cause the evil judge threatened everyone who tries to dribble the ban on X with a VPN with a heavy fine. I couldn’t risk that for anything due to my already limited retiree budget.
Mike says
Jo: I admired Bolsonaro for his strong support of Israel, but I felt disappointed by his environmental policies.
By contrast, I like that Lula wants to protect the Amazon and reduce deforestation and pollution, but I dislike some of his Leftist policies in other areas, lol.
Anyhow, Brasil e um pais magnifico! Parabens! (If I said that correctly). I’ve never been there, but I know some people from there, and I’d like to visit there eventually.
somehistory says
What about the ones who didn’t leave gaza, but took part in the abuse of the hostages when the ghouls returned with them in their trucks and on their cycles?
What about the “professionals”…doctors, journalists, etc, women and even children taking part in holding the hostages in their homes and making them slaves?
