On April 1 the IDF destroyed a military headquarters of the Iranian Al-Quds force, which had been disguised as a “consulate” in Damascus, situated right next to Iran’s embassy.

The IDF Revises How it Will Defend Israeli Towns on the Gaza Border
The surprise attack by 3,000 Hamas operatives, who smashed through the border defenses on the Gazan border with Israel and ended up raping, torturing, and murdering 1,200 Israelis and kidnapping another 260 who were taken back to Gaza, is constantly on the minds of all Israelis, but especially on the minds of IDF strategists who […]
What Percentage of Those Killed by the IDF in Gaza were Civilians?
As is well known, Hamas has a long history, going back many years, of undercounting its own losses and exaggerating the number of civilians killed by the IDF. Think of the “massacre of Jenin,” where Hamas claimed that “500 civilians” had been massacred by the IDF. In the end, both American and Israeli intelligence concluded […]
Biden’s Pier is More Than a Disappointed Bridge
Joe Biden thinks the solution to the hunger problem in Gaza is for the U.S. to build a floating pier on the coast of the Strip, and to deliver food aid to Gaza by ship. Vessels laden with food would first be examined by the IDF at a port in Cyprus, then set sail for […]

Why Does Biden Think the Palestinians Deserve a State?
Israel is now engaged in the fourth war it has had to fight for its survival. The three others were fought in 1948, 1967, and 1973. In addition, there have been a half-dozen other campaigns the Israelis have had to fight against the terrorists of the PLO, Hamas, and Hezbollah. The IDF soldiers, their ranks […]
Conflicting Reports on Palestinian and IDF Casualties in Gaza
In Gaza, Hamas and Islamic Jihad publish daily reports both on Palestinian casualties, and on IDF soldiers whom they claim to have killed. We have good reason to believe — see below — that they exaggerate the numbers of both. The IDF also releases daily figures on its own casualties. Whom should we believe? More […]
Hamas is Obviously Lying About Number of Gazans Killed During Hostage Rescue
The daring raid by the IDF into the middle of Rafah, where its soldiers managed to extricate two hostages surrounded by Hamas fighters, has left the terror group in a “state of shock.” Its initial reports about an Israeli attack in Rafah did not even mention the rescue of the hostages, but only said that […]
