John Spencer, the West Point Professor of Urban Warfare who concluded from his study of the IDF’s campaign in Gaza that “Israel implemented more precautions to prevent civilian harm than any military in history—above and beyond what international law requires,” has now offered thoughts on what Israel must do to “finish the job in Gaza.” […]
IDF Soldier on Gaza Starvation Claims: ‘People Want to Believe Lies. It Helps Justify Their Hate.’
Like Hamas, the virulently anti-Israel UN doesn’t want Israel’s efforts at feeding Gazans to succeed. It refuses to take control of 950 trucks already inside Gaza, and won’t distribute the aid they are carrying. The UN is prepared to see Gazans starve rather than to help Israel’s effort to get the aid to those who […]
Armed Hamas jihadis caught on video violently looting humanitarian aid in Gaza
The liars will keep lying nevertheless. BREAKING: The IDF just released footage of Hamas looting aid trucks—just days before the media flooded headlines with “Gaza famine” claims. Will they cover this too? Or does it not fit the narrative? pic.twitter.com/F83FBsGBUd — Eyal Yakoby (@EYakoby) July 29, 2025 “Hamas caught on camera looting aid, blocking relief […]
An IDF Soldier Testifies as to What Is Really Happening in Gaza
There can be no doubt that Hamas is winning the propaganda war. Every night we see heartrending photographs of what are described as “starving children,” the victims of famine in Gaza. But some of the same videos of emaciated children are shown repeatedly; perhaps there are not so many of them to put on display […]
Netanyahu Urges Israeli Druze to Stay Home and Let IDF Protect Druze in Syria
Before the current ceasefire was announced, hundreds of Druze had crossed into Syria from Israel by mid-June, to fight to protect fellow Druze from attacks by the Sunni soldiers of the Syrian army, 200 of whom are now in the Druze stronghold of Suweida, and another thousand on the city’s outskirts. But those Druze could […]
Operation Midnight Hammer’s Lesson for Rogue States
The American attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities will have consequences for rogue states elsewhere. They have now been put on notice that if they try to acquire a nuclear bomb, they should expect to have their program destroyed by the Americans. More on this salutary lesson can be found here: “Bigger Than Just Iran,” by […]
Israel Achieved Its Objectives in Iran
The Institute for the Study of War, a nonpartisan group based in the United States, has issued its report on Israel’s achievements in its 12-day war with Iran. Dozens of nuclear facilities were damaged by Israel, while three of them — Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow — were also attacked by the Americans, with the first […]
On IDF commandos in Iran
The very word “commando” brings to mind, or to the palpebral cinema, a multitude of Hollywood scenes. Deeds of derring-do in foreign lands with visions of determined officers (Gregory Peck? Gary Cooper?), and their men appropriately named to display the American melting pot — Rodriguez, Cohen, Endicott, and O’Houlihan — crawling in a moonless night […]
How the IDF Destroyed Iran’s Deterrence
An editorial in the Jerusalem Post has summed up what Israel achieved in its 12-day war against the Islamic Republic. It’s quite a record, about which more can be found here: “Iran is not finished but Israel has bought itself crucial time – editorial,” Jerusalem Post, June 26, 2025: After 627 exhausting days in Gaza, the […]
The War with Israel Has Drastically Weakened Iran’s Islamic Regime
In April and October of 2024, Iran launched ballistic missiles at Israel. The Jewish state responded by weakening Iran’s air defenses, but it did not go after any major installations. It is quite possible that the regime felt that since Israel did not become more aggressive, it was a sign that the Jewish State wouldn’t […]
