We know what the Israeli army can do, and has done, from southern Gaza to southern Lebanon, killing almost 25,000 of the Hamas and Hezbollah fighters. We know what the Israeli Air Force can do, destroying hundreds of miles of tunnels, thousands of buildings where Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon have hidden both men and weapons, as well as control-and-command centers, and over 150,000 rockets and missiles in the arsenals of both terror groups. We don’t hear much about the Israeli navy, but it has managed to kill more than 80% of Hamas’ naval commanders, and has bombed Hamas positions deep inside Gaza.
Now that Israeli navy has one more achievement to announce, one more advanced weapon in its armory: the Gabriel 5 missile, that has just passed a test launch that signifies it is ready to be deployed. More on this new missile, developed by Israeli Aerospace Industries, can be found here: “Israel’s new ‘Gabriel 5’ sea-to-sea missile makes first navy test debut,” Jerusalem Post, February 6, 2025:
The Israeli Navy successfully conducted an operational test launch of the Gabriel 5 sea-to-sea missile, the IDF announced on Thursday.
The test, carried out by the Israeli Navy’s Missile Ship Flotilla in collaboration with the Defense Ministry’s Directorate of Defense Research and Development (DDR&D) and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), involved launching the missile at a vessel simulating an enemy ship.
During the exercise, the system successfully carried out detection and firing processes, mimicking real-world scenarios, the IDF said….
Every year or so, the Israeli defense companies come out with some startling new advance. Think of the Merkava 5 tank, and the improvements made to it, including the back door — through which wounded crewmen can be retrieved, that saves the lives of tank crews who might otherwise be stuck inside. Think of the Iron Dome anti-missile system, and the tens of thousands of lives it has saved during both the Gaza war, and the war against Hezbollah, by its scarcely believable 90% interception success rate. Think of the Iron Beam, which will be operational later this year; it’s a high energy laser weapon, to be used against missiles and drones, that will require only a few dollars in direct costs per shot, and around $2,000 to cover all associated costs, compared to the $100,000 to $150,000 that each interception by the Iron Dome costs.
And now we have the Gabriel 5 sea-to-sea missile, developed for Israel’s navy, that has been described as “the most advanced naval defense system of its kind.”
The defense technologists at Elbit, at Israel Aerospace Industries, at RAFAEL, and at so many other, less well-known weapons companies in Israel, neither slumber nor sleep. And they have now developed an advanced missile that will help protect Israeli ships, and their crews, engaged in both the Mediterranean, and in the Red Sea, in Israel’s seven-front war. Not for the first time, we have a Gabriel in the Promised Land, bringing glad tidings that are admittedly somewhat different from what the original Gabriel brought. That’s okay: we’ll take what we can get.

In addition to Israel’s military successes, Israel should ban Islam, its Mosques, its Schools, etc. because of Muslim terrorism, discrimination, and violence against Israelis and Non-Muslims as taught from the Quran.
Non-Muslims CANNOT have peace with Islam and its Muslims because Islam and its murderous god, Allah, demand a continuous, Muslim war against unbelievers where Non-Muslims are CRIMINALS under Islam when Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” HENCE, NON-MUSLIMS MUST MAKE ISLAM, ITS MOSQUES, ITS SCHOOLS, ITS ORGANIZATIONS, ETC. ILLEGAL UNDER THE LAW. Similarly, Islam and its many Organizations must be identified and publicly declared to be MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS for their funding, teaching, and support of terrorism, violence, and discrimination against Non-Muslims(eg. Quran 9:5,29,111 and more).
Western Muslims seek to ensure Islam’s legitimacy against Non-Muslim societies, to impose Islamic Law in Western Legal Systems, and to advance Islam’s totalitarian goals to conquer the West. Consequently, Islam promotes a limitless, terroristic, Muslim war against unbelievers when Allah in Qur’an 49:15 says, “Surely the believers are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed JIHAD with THEIR MONEY AND THEIR LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.”
Deceitful Allah promises Heavenly Paradise to Muslims for acts of Muslim killing in terrorist attacks against Non-Muslims and Muslim hypocrites when Quran 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers[Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden[Heavenly Paradise]. They engage in war for the sake of Allah, so they kill and are killed…”
Islam champions Muslim acts of slaughter against Non-Muslims for not becoming Muslims as Allah in Quran 8:12 says, “When your lord revealed to the angels: ‘I am with you so make firm those who believed[Muslims]. I will cast a terror into the hearts of those who became infidels[Non-Muslims]. So strike above their necks(decapitation), and strike off(chop off) every finger from them.’”

Yes, Billy, every country with half a brain at the helm should ban any mosques within its borders and all immigration of Mooslimes. They are a pestilence, offering no benefits and only subversion of decent societies and a rapid slide into chaos.

Off subject so sorry but a Labour MP and Minister in the UK, Andrew Gwynne, in trouble after info comes out.
Messages of an anti-semitic nature, plus wishing pensioners who didn’t vote Labour would die.
Now when in the UK Labour removed pensioner winter fuel allowance, seriously, that was the intention.
He also made comments about Diane Abbot & Angela Raynere, OK as far as I’m concerned though.
Now, will the police be investigating??
Brian says
Hi Billy!.
I believe that your suggestion of Israel removing mosques from its territories, is very good obvious logic to keep Israel safe!
I believe that we should go further and demand the same for the former Great Britain, what do you say?

The difficulty, of course, is that although advanced and decent law-abiding countries tend to invent superior weaponry FIRST, somehow such weaponry, and the knowledge of how to make it, all too soon afterward becomes ‘common knowledge’, as the weapons themselves – and/or the blueprints – percolate across borders into the hands of bandits and tyrants. The Americans created nukes *first*.. but very quickly the Soviets and then the Chinese got them.. and then.. hideous Islamic Pakistan.. and very soon… even more hideous Islamic Iran.
Once upon a time, “we had the Gatling gun and they had not”. Those days are long gone…
My own thought is that the Israelis need to be very, very careful to make sure that the really vital clever advanced surprising stuff they invent and are no doubt still inventing for their own defence – to maintain their ‘edge’ against merciless neverending Jihad – does NOT get into the wrong hands. And it’s probably best to keep some of the best stuff completely under wraps… just say nothing whatever about it, keep it up one’s sleeve, for use as required. Keep the enemy – the rabid allahu-akbaring enemy – COMPLETELY IN THE DARK as to what you might have in reserve.
