Does Israel Really Have ‘Sponge
Bombs’ For Sealing Tunnels? -A portable system capable of rapidly
sealing up tunnels without blowing them up would be major boon for
Israeli forces operating in Gaza.byJoseph Trevithick| PUBLISHED Oct 27,
2023 1:21 PM EDT
Israeli forces are prepared to employ "sponge
bombs" that produce quick-hardening foam to seal off tunnels used by
terrorists in the Gaza Strip, according to a recent report. Though
unconfirmed, there is some precedent for the use of devices that create
hard or at least very sticky foam by military and other security
forces.The Telegraph newspaper in the United Kingdom published a story
about the purported Israeli foam-dispensing 'bombs' on Wednesday. It is
important to note up front that, at the time of writing, the Telegraph's
piece does not appear to cite any sources, on the record or anonymous,
and explicitly says "the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] has not commented
on the use" of these devices.As described by the Telegraph, the devices
contain a binary chemical mixture that only blends together when the
device is activated. The system is reportedly small and light enough to
be emplaced, or even thrown, by a single individual.Israeli "soldiers
were seen deploying the devices during exercises in 2021," according to
the Telegraph, but no further details or imagery are provided. "The
[Israeli] army has set up a mock tunnel system at the Tze’Elim army base
near the border with Gaza."Tze’Elim is publicly known to host a mock
Palestinian village with an underground tunnel network specifically to
help prepare IDF personnel for ground operations in places like Gaza. To
this point, this training site is even nicknamed "Little Gaza.""The
'sponge bomb' – technically a liquid emulsion – is hazardous to work
with, and some Israeli soldiers have lost their sight through
mishandling the mixture," the Telegraph reported, again without
providing any substantiating information.Whether or not the IDF's sponge
bombs exist or not, a device like the one the Telegraph's report
describes does not seem impossible to develop. Various grades of
quick-hardening and expanding foam are in widespread use in commercial
construction and might be able to provide a useful seal, at least
temporarily. One U.S. manufacturer of commercial urethane foam, U.S.
Composites, Inc., says that its "16LB density foam is essentially as
hard as a rock" and "you would need a hammer in order to make any dents
in this product."Construction is, of course, a very different context
from military operations in tunnels, where it would also be very
important for any foam to be applied as quickly as possible. Still, a
more specialized mixture could conceivably be derived from existing
commercial formulations that could offer something more suitable for
military use.It is also worth noting that many commercial-available
chemical foams, including types not designed to harden and that are used
for entertainment purposes, can cause various degrees of eye injuries.
This is at least broadly in line with the mention of 'lost sight' in the
Telegraph's report, which could refer to temporary or more serious
losses of vision from mishandling the foam.On top of all this, there are
multiple known examples of spray foams that become extremely sticky,
even glue-like, being used, or at least tested, by military and security
forces, including in the United States.The U.S. Marine Corps fielded
devices designed to shoot streams of sticky foam as a non-lethal tool
for immobilizing hostile individuals at least on a limited basis in the
past. At least some Marine units sent to Somalia in the 1990s notably
had this capability on hand. It is unclear whether or not this system is
still in the Corps' inventory.In 2009, the U.S. Army awarded a contract
for work on a similar-sounding capability to what the Marines used,
which was also intended primarily to be used for non-lethal crowd
control. It is unknown how far the service pursued this project. The
company the Army hired to provide those systems, Adherent Technologies
of Albuquerque New Mexico, claimed at the time to offer foam strong
enough that it could be used to stop commercial cars and trucks in their
tracks.Dispensers full of super-sticky immobilizing foam are also known
to be among the defensive features found on heavily modified tractor
trailer trucks that the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security
Administration (NNSA) uses to move nuclear weapons and other related
sensitive cargoes. You can read more about these specialized trucks and
their potentially James Bond-esque self-defense capabilities here.A
'bomb' full of quick hardening and expanding foam could be very useful
for Israeli forces in any impending ground operations in Gaza. Hamas and
other terrorist groups there make use of an extensive tunnel network
that has been dubbed the "Gaza Metro."The War Zone recently highlighted
the challenges tunnels pose in a larger piece on the dangers Israeli
forces would face in Gaza, writing:"Tunnels give combatants a seemingly
magical ability to pop up out of nowhere just to quickly disappear
again. Just finding the tunnels themselves can be a huge challenge and
destroying all of them in such a way they can't easily be reconstituted
is another major undertaking.""Subterranean combat is extremely
perilous. With movements totally restricted — a fatal funnel may be
around every turn — no support from the air and limited communications,
unique tactics are needed not just to succeed, but to survive when
fighting in such conditions. The enemy has a massive upper hand as they
know the underground layout and are prepared to capitalize on every
advantage that it offers."With all this in mind, being able to rapidly
seal tunnels, even just certain portions of a specific network, would
reduce the total number of vectors for potential threats to flow through
and otherwise limit their utility. Enemy forces might find themselves
trapped within, too. Even if the foam only offers a temporary seal, it
would also still suck up enemy time and resources to reopen blocked
passages.There are other ways at Israel's disposal to seal tunnels in
Gaza, including teams on the ground emplacing explosive charges and
airstrikes. However, those means present additional risks for collateral
damage, including secondary explosions from weapons and ammunition
inside passages detonating following an initial blast. The "sponge
bomb," at least as described, would seem to offer a more immediate and
exponentially less invasive option.Regardless, of course, it remains
possible that the 'sponge bomb' report is false, either in part or in
full. The War Zone has previously highlighted how unsupported claims
about "secret" or "unusual" military capabilities can evolve
organically, as well as be fabricated deliberately, in a piece
discussing still curious reports in 2017 about U.S. forces using
"electricity bombs" in Syria.In this particular instance, it is perhaps
interesting to note that the Telegraph's 'sponge bomb' story came out
the same day as an extremely dubious and entirely unsubstantiated report
from Middle East Eye claiming that the U.S. military is preparing to
help Israeli forces flood Gaza's tunnels with nerve gas. A single
anonymous "senior Arab source familiar with the Palestinian groups" is
cited in that story, which has already been altered in its key details
at least once since publication.With the information available now, The
War Zone just cannot conclusively say whether or not Israeli forces
actually have foam-dispensing 'bombs' to seal up tunnels. At the same
time, relevant capabilities are known to exist and to have been tested
and employed by military and other security forces before.If and when a
major Israeli ground incision into Gaza finally comes, harder evidence
of these reported foam-spewing devices, which could be very useful in
temporarily neutralizing tunnel networks, may finally emerge.
Biden
says Hamas attack ‘deepening the wound’ of 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue
massacre-Marking five years since 11 killed in shooting at Tree of Life,
US president notes commemoration comes weeks after ‘the deadliest day
for the Jewish people since the Holocaust’By Ron Kampeas Today, 4:48 am
0-OCT 28
WASHINGTON (JTA) — On the fifth anniversary of the
Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, US President Joe Biden drew a straight
line between the worst antisemitic attack in American history and
Hamas’s deadly October 7 invasion of Israel.“A gunman opened fire on
Sabbath worshippers as they prayed, murdering 11 precious souls,
wounding many more – including first responders,” Biden said Friday in
his statement marking October 27.“Deepening the wound, today’s
remembrance comes on the heels of the deadliest day for the Jewish
people since the Holocaust,” Biden said. “On October 7th, a sacred
Jewish holiday, the terrorist group Hamas unleashed pure evil against
the people of Israel, slaughtering 1,400 Jews and taking hostage
hundreds more.” October 7 was the Jewish festival of Shemini
Atzeret-Simchat Torah in Israel.Biden’s weaving the two attacks, one
committed by white nationalists, the other by radical Islamist
terrorists, into the same cloth, marks a sharp shift from the launch of
his campaign and the beginning of his presidency, when he identified the
threat of antisemitism as coming principally from the far right. The
gunman in Pittsburgh, who was sentenced to death this summer, was
influenced by a proliferation of far-right content on social media.Biden
rolled out a strategy to counter antisemitism last May, the first by
any presidential administration in US history. A number of US Jewish
groups who advised on the strategy urged Biden to take into account the
threat of anti-Jewish hatred from the left and other sources as well as
the far-right, particularly on campuses, where some Jewish students say
they face intimidation from the pro-Palestinian left.“Under my
presidency, we will continue to condemn antisemitism at every turn,”
Biden said in his statement. “We are implementing the first-ever
national strategy to counter Antisemitism. Because hate never goes away,
it only hides until it is given just a little oxygen. And as a nation,
we must ensure hate is never given any oxygen.”A White House spokesman
on Thursday specifically called out some campus pro-Palestinian protests
as veering into antisemitism.
Liberate Gaza’: Thousands of
Palestinians demonstrate across West Bank-Rallies include expressions of
support for Hamas, amid ongoing war in Strip; clashes reported between
PA security forces and Palestinians who approached Joseph’s Tomb-By AFP
and ToI Staff Today, 3:27 am 3-OCT 28,23
Thousands of
Palestinians demonstrated Saturday across the West Bank in solidarity
with those in the Gaza Strip, with some expressing support for Hamas
amid Israel’s ongoing war against the terror group.In Ramallah, the
Palestinian Authority’s seat of government, the crowd chanted slogans
including: “liberate Gaza” and “the people want the [Izz ad-Din]
al-Qassam Brigades” in reference to the military branch of Hamas.Others
waved Hamas flags along with banners representing a range of Palestinian
factions.Fakhi Barghouti, 80, said Palestinians in the West Bank “need
to do more about the war in Gaza.”Several people refused to answer AFP’s
questions, believing that Western and particularly French media
coverage of the war was “biased.”Protests were also held in other West
Bank cities, including Nablus, where clashes were reported between PA
security forces and Palestinians who approached Joseph’s Tomb, regarded
by some as the final resting place of the biblical patriarch.

October 27, 2023-Earlier Friday, the Israel Defense Forces confirmed it
killed Ayser Mohammad Al-Amer, a field commander in the Palestinian
Islamic Jihad’s Jenin wing, during clashes in the Jenin refugee camp
overnight.The army also confirmed that it clashed with Palestinian
gunmen in the Jenin refugee camp and the city of Qalqilya; Palestinians
had reported four killed, including Al-Amer, in the two locations.The
army said it returned fire at Palestinians shooting at forces and
rioters hurling explosive devices. No injuries were reported on the
Israeli side.Troops detained 17 members of the Hamas terror group, as
well as 19 other wanted Palestinians, in overnight arrest raids across
the West Bank, the IDF said.Since the war in the Gaza Strip began on
October 7, troops have arrested some 1,030 wanted Palestinians in the
West Bank, including some 670 affiliated with Hamas, according to the
military.There have been numerous clashes between IDF forces and
Palestinians in the West Ban in recent weeks, and several attempted
terror attacks, the IDF says.According to the Palestinian Authority
health ministry, 110 West Bank Palestinians have been killed by Israeli
forces, and in some cases settlers, since October 7.Separately, the IDF
said the head of the Central Command, Maj. Gen. Yehuda Fox, signed off
on a demolition order against a home owned by Hamas official Saleh
al-Arouri, in the town of ‘Arura, near Ramallah.-Protests in Jordan and
Iraq-In Jordan on Friday, at least 5,000 people demonstrated in the
capital Amman to demand that the kingdom’s peace treaty with Israel be
annulled.Jordan was the second Arab state to make peace with Israel in
1994, after Egypt in 1979.AFP journalists said some protesters
brandished pictures of US President Joe Biden and French President
Emmanuel Macron, alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with the
slogan: “Accomplices in crime.”Similar protests took place in Zarqa,
Mafraq, Tahila and Aqaba.Demonstrators raise a sign condemning French
President Emmanuel Macron, US President Joe Biden, and Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu, during a rally in the Jordanian capital Amman held
in solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, on October 27, 2023,
amid the ongoing war between Hamas and Israel. In Iraq, firebrand Shiite
cleric Moqtada Sadr demanded that the government close the US embassy
in Baghdad in response to Washington’s support for Israel in its war
with Hamas.Sadr warned on X, formerly Twitter, that if this does not
happen “we will take a different position that we will announce
later.”Iraq does not recognize Israel, but the Iran-backed government
must also consider its relations with the United States, which has 2,500
soldiers deployed in the country.On October 7, throngs of Hamas-led
terrorists poured from Gaza into Israel under the cover of massive
rocket fire, killing 1,400 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapping some
230 more.In response to the onslaught, Israel launched an offensive
aimed at destroying Hamas’s infrastructure, and vowing to eliminate the
entire terror group, which rules the Strip. It says it is targeting all
areas where Hamas operates, while seeking to minimize civilian
casualties.In air and artillery strikes that Israel has carried out the
past three weeks, the Hamas-controlled health ministry in Gaza says over
7,300 people have been killed in the Strip. The figures cannot be
independently verified and include Palestinian terrorists killed
fighting the IDF as well as civilians killed as a result of errant
rockets launched by terror groups.Emanuel Fabian contributed to this
report.
Israeli ground forces ‘expanding’ activity inside Gaza,
ramping up airstrikes — IDF-Internet, phone services collapse in Strip
amid intensified operations, which officials stress are not full-scale
offensive; Washington says it’s not ‘drawing red lines’ for Israel-By
Emanuel Fabian Today, 12:53 am 1-OCT 28,23
The Israeli military
ramped up airstrikes in the Gaza Strip on Friday night and said it was
expanding ground operations into the coastal enclave following several
nights of limited raids.Internet and phone services were down across
Gaza amid reports by Palestinians that Israeli ground forces including
tanks were operating within the Strip and heavy exchanges of gunfire
could be heard.“The Air Force is striking underground targets very
significantly,” said IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari.“In addition
to the attacks that we carried out in recent days, ground forces are
expanding their activity this evening. The IDF is acting with great
force … to achieve the objectives of the war.”For the last two days, IDF
infantry forces and tanks have conducted limited operations in the Gaza
Strip.Hagari said the IDF will continue to strike Gaza City and
surrounding areas in northern Gaza, and renewed his call for
Palestinians to evacuate to the Strip’s south.“We are prepared to defend
in all arenas. We are acting in order to protect the security interests
of the State of Israel,” he said.The Hamas terror group’s military
wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, said it was confronting Israeli
forces in Gaza and that “violent clashes” were taking place near Beit
Hanoun in the northern part of the Palestinian enclave, and Bureij in
the center.US and Israeli officials told ABC News that the Israeli
ground incursion in Gaza was not the expected large-scale offensive
Israel has been threatening for three weeks — aimed to dismantle Hamas
following its devastating October 7 onslaught into Israel. On that
Saturday morning, some 2,500 terrorists streamed into Israel by land,
sea, and air, killing over 1,400 people, a majority of them civilians in
their homes and at an outdoor music festival in border communities
across southern Israel. Hamas and allied terrorist factions also dragged
over 220 hostages — including some 30 children — into the Gaza Strip
where they remain captive.An unnamed American source told ABC that the
operation Friday was another limited one. And IDF spokesman Peter Lerner
said the activity was not the major operation that has been expected
since the devastating terror assault.On Friday night, White House
National Security spokesman John Kirby repeatedly refused to comment on
the expanded activities, and said Washington would not draw “red lines”
for Israel.“We’re not drawing red lines for Israel,” Kirby said Friday
on a call with reporters. “We’re going to continue to support them” but
“since the very beginning we have, and will continue to have,
conversations about the manner that they are doing this.”Defense
Minister Yoav Gallant told a small group of foreign reporters earlier
that Israel expects a long and difficult ground offensive into Gaza
soon. It “will take a long time” to dismantle Hamas’ vast network of
tunnels, he said, adding that he expected a lengthy phase of
lower-intensity fighting as Israel destroys “pockets of
resistance.”Hamas had earlier called on world countries to “act
immediately” to stop Israel’s response to its October 7 massacre.Israel
has vowed to destroy the Palestinian terror organization while
minimizing harm to Gaza civilians.On Friday evening, terrorists in Gaza
launched a series of rocket barrages into Israel, targeting southern and
central Israeli cities. A foreign worker was moderately wounded after a
rocket landed in agricultural land near Rishon Lezion, according to
medics.In Sderot, a pair of rockets fired from Gaza slammed into a home
and an outdoor shelter. Some damage was caused but no one was
harmed.Gazan terrorists have launched thousands of rockets at Israel
since October 7, killing and wounding dozens, and sending hundreds of
thousands running for shelter, and the education of hundreds of
thousands of children disrupted as schools remain shut or in a limited
format.The Israeli military on Friday night revealed that Hamas was
using Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital as a main base of operations, providing
visuals and intercepted audio as evidence of the terror organization’s
activities.Hagari said Israel has intelligence that there are several
tunnels leading to the underground base from outside the hospital so
that Hamas officials do not need to enter the hospital to reach it. But
Hagari added that there is also an entrance to the underground complex
from within one of the wards.Hagari also said Israel has “concrete
evidence” that “hundreds of terrorists flooded into the hospital to
hide” following the October 7 terror onslaught.Hamas’s internal security
also has a command center inside Shifa Hospital, from which it directs
rocket fire on Israel and stores weapons, he added.A satellite image
issued by the IDF shows what the military says are Hamas command centers
located underneath Shifa Hospital in Gaza (IDF) Overnight
Thursday-Friday, Israel sent tanks, infantry forces, and Navy commandos
into Gaza for a second limited incursion, the Israel Defense Forces said
Friday, the second night in a row that forces briefly entered the Strip
ahead of the expected full ground offensive.The raid near the Shejaiya
neighborhood in eastern Gaza City was carried out by infantry, combat
engineering and armored forces, with Israeli Air Force drones and combat
helicopters providing air cover, the military said.The IDF said it
carried out artillery strikes and airstrikes against sites belonging to
the Hamas terror group, including anti-tank guided missile launch sites
and command centers.Several Hamas members were also hit by the forces,
the IDF said, adding that all the troops left the area after several
hours, and that no Israeli injuries were reported.Additionally, the IDF
said it killed the commander of Hamas’s West Khan Younis Battalion,
Madhat Mubasher, in an overnight airstrike in the Gaza Strip.The IDF
said Mubasher “took part in sniper attacks and was responsible for large
explosive devices [used] against IDF forces and Israeli towns.”Also
overnight, forces of the Israeli Navy’s Shayetet 13 commando unit
carried out a raid in the southern Gaza Strip from the sea, the IDF
said.The forces destroyed Hamas infrastructure and operated in a
compound used by the terror group’s naval commando forces, according to
the IDF.Other Navy forces participated in the mission, and all the
Shayetet 13 commandos left the area and returned to Israel after the
operation, the IDF added.Hamas in a statement Friday claimed to have
repelled the Israeli raid from the sea.The IDF has for several weeks
been preparing a full-scale incursion aimed at rooting out the
Gaza-ruling terror group following its murderous October 7 onslaught in
southern Israel.It has pounded the Strip on an unprecedented scale in
order to eliminate potential threats to ground troops once the order
finally comes. The airstrikes have flattened entire neighborhoods,
causing a level of destruction unseen in the last four wars between
Israel and Hamas.The IDF said Friday that over the past day, it has
carried out more than 250 airstrikes against Hamas sites in the Gaza
Strip, with targets including Hamas tunnels, command centers, rocket
launching positions, and dozens of operatives.Also Friday, the military
said that at least 233 hostages were kidnapped and taken to the Gaza
Strip during the devastating assault on October 7.IDF spokesman Rear
Adm. Daniel Hagari said the military has notified the families of 229
hostages that their loved ones are currently being held in the
enclave.The number does not include four released hostages — mother and
daughter Judith and Natalie Ra’anan, who were freed a week ago, and
elderly women Yocheved Lifshitz and Nurit Cooper, freed on Monday
night.Hagari said the number is not final as the military continues to
investigate new information.However, a member of a Hamas delegation
visiting Russia claimed that the terror group still does not know where
all the people kidnapped by Palestinian terrorists during their attack
are being held.The Hamas official, named as Abu Hamid, claimed in an
interview with Russia’s semi-official Kommersant news outlet that the
terror group has always been willing to release civilians, but “needs
time to find them.” He additionally claimed members of various groups
are holding hostages, and that a ceasefire was needed to allow Hamas to
carry out its search, find the hostages and then release them.The
updated hostage figures from the military came after Gallant on Thursday
promised to make “every effort” to return the hostages as he reiterated
that a ground operation was looming and vowed to win the war, asserting
that the country’s next 75 years largely depend on it.In a primetime
televised address, the defense minister said: “We are in decisive
moments. This is a war for our home and we will win it. It’s either us
or them.”On Wednesday, The New York Times reported that Israel had
agreed to a request from the United States to temporarily delay the
planned Gaza ground incursion to give Washington more time to deploy
additional air defense systems to protect its troops in the region.The
US was also reportedly concerned that Israel lacks achievable military
goals for its operations in Gaza, leading to fears that the IDF is not
yet ready for a ground incursion.Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry says
the Israeli strikes have killed over 7,000 people, many of them
children. The figures issued by the terror group cannot be independently
verified, and are believed to include its own terrorists and gunmen

Hamas’s main operations base is under
Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, says IDF-Military charges terror group has
several underground complexes under Gaza’s largest hospital, says
‘hundreds of terrorists flooded into hospital to hide’ after Oct. 7
massacres-By Emanuel Fabian and ToI Staff 27 October 2023, 8:53 pm 10
The
Israel Defense Forces on Friday said the Hamas terror group’s main base
of operations is under Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, providing visuals
and intercepted audio as evidence of the terror organization’s
activities.In a briefing for reporters of international media outlets,
IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said Hamas has several underground
complexes under Shifa — the largest hospital in the Gaza Strip — that
are used by the terror group’s leaders to direct attacks against
Israel.Hagari said Israel has intelligence that there are several
tunnels leading to the underground base from outside the hospital so
that Hamas officials do not need to enter the hospital to reach it. But
Hagari added that there is also an entrance to the underground complex
from within one of the wards.“Right now, terrorists move freely in Shifa
Hospital, and other hospitals in Gaza,” Hagari said.The military
spokesperson said Israel has “concrete evidence” that “hundreds of
terrorists flooded into the hospital to hide” following the October 7
massacre, in which some 2,500 terrorists burst through the border under
cover of a deluge of rockets, and rampaged through more than 20
communities near the Gaza Strip. They killed some 1,400 people, the vast
majority of them civilians, massacring them in their homes and at an
outdoor music festival. They also abducted over 220 people to the Strip
as hostages.According to the IDF, Hamas’s internal security also has a
command center inside Shifa Hospital, from which it directs rocket fire
on Israel and stores weapons.The hospital’s energy infrastructure is
also used by Hamas’s underground base, Hagari said, accusing the terror
group of using the hospital and its occupants — with 1,500 beds and some
4,000 staff — as human shields.The information on Hamas’s use of the
hospital is based on a wide range of intelligence sources collected by
the Military Intelligence Directorate and Shin Bet security
agency.Hagari said the intel has already been provided to allies.A
senior member of the Hamas political bureau, Izzat al-Rishq, said the
Israeli military’s allegations were unfounded.“There’s no basis in truth
in what the spokesman of the enemy army stated,” Rishq said, accusing
Israel of making up the allegations to “pave the way for a new massacre
to be committed against our people.”Ambulances crowd the entrance to the
emergency ward of the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City on October 15,
2023 (Dawood NEMER / AFP)Rishq claimed 40,000 Gazans have sought refuge
in the hospital as a result of Israel’s aerial bombardment of the Strip,
following the terror group’s massive shock assault three weeks ago, and
called on Arab and Muslim leaders to “take action to stop the genocide
against our people.”“Hamas wages war from hospitals” in Gaza, Hagari
told journalists, adding that the terror group was also using fuel
stored in hospitals to help carry out its operations.Hamas operates

are clear—and the people of Gaza are not among them.

“Hamas’s use of hospitals is systematic.”“Hamas terrorists operate
inside hospitals precisely because they know the IDF distinguishes
between terrorists and civilians. Israel targets terrorists, Hamas
targets Israeli civilians and Gazan civilians,” Hagari added.The
military spokesperson asserted that Hamas is stealing fuel from
civilians in Gaza. Israel has blocked the entrance of fuel into the
Strip since the war started, so he appeared to be referring to fuel that
was already in the Strip.“There is fuel in hospitals in Gaza, and Hamas
is using it for its terror infrastructure,” he said, playing a
recording that he said was a conversation between a pair of Gazan
residents who make the revelation. Breaking: The @IDF has released
visual and audio materials which prove Hamas has stolen and is using
humanitarian resources for its terrorist activities.Let’s start with the

ישראל ???????? (@Israel) October 27, 2023-In another conversation aired
by the military, a senior Gazan energy official reveals that Hamas
currently has at least a million liters of gasoline and possibly more,
which it stole from civilian projects and is currently hoarding to power
its tunnels networks.Earlier Friday, the commissioner general for the
UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, denied
that any aid was being diverted.“We have solid monitoring mechanisms…
UNRWA does not and will not divert any humanitarian aid into the wrong
hands,” Lazzarini said.But on October 16, UNRWA indicated that Hamas
authorities in Gaza had stolen fuel and medical supplies meant for
refugees from its premises. Shortly after posting the claim on X, UNRWA
deleted the posts and later asserted that nothing had been looted.Hamas

Defense Forces (@IDF) October 27, 2023-Gaza hospitals have been a key
feature of the now three-week-long Gaza war, with Hamas on October 17
claiming that an Israeli strike targeted al-Ahli hospital in Gaza City
and killed over 500 civilians. The claim was disproven within hours by
Israeli and US intelligence, which found that the explosion occurred
just outside the hospital, was caused by an errant Islamic Jihad rocket
and killed far fewer than 500 people.Since Israel launched retaliatory
air and artillery strikes on the day of the attack, at least 7,326
people have been killed in the Gaza Strip, according to figures released
by the territory’s Hamas-run health ministry. Those numbers cannot be
independently verified and include Palestinian terrorists killed by
Israel as well as Palestinian civilians killed by errant rockets
launched by terror groups in Gaza.Israel says it killed 1,500 Hamas
terrorists inside Israel on and after October 7.
'This is
psychological terror by Hamas' -- IDF spokesperson-Israel dismisses
‘rumors’ of progress in indirect hostage negotiations with Hamas
Senior
Israeli official says Jerusalem believes terror group dragging out
talks to delay IDF ground offensive into Gaza-By ToI Staff and Jacob
Magid 27 October 2023, 10:32 pm 2
Israel believes that Hamas has
been dragging out hostage negotiations as a tactic to delay a ground
offensive by the Israeli military into the Gaza Strip, a senior Israeli
official told The Times of Israel on Friday.The official said that
despite leaks from Egyptian and Qatari officials over the past few days
purporting significant progress in the talks to release a large number
of hostages, no breakthroughs currently appear to be imminent.During its
shock terror assault on Israel on October 7, Hamas terrorists killed
over 1,400 people, a majority of them civilians, during raids on over 20
border communities near the Gaza Strip, slaughtering entire families in
their homes and some 260 at an outdoor music festival. Terrorists also
took over 200 hostages, including women, children and elderly people,
dragging them into the Gaza Strip where they remain captive.The military
said Friday that Israel has informed the families of 229 people,
Israelis and dual nationals, who were taken hostage by Hamas and allies
terrorist factions.Hamas has released four hostages since its October 7
terror massacre, including an American-Israeli mother and daughter, and
two elderly Israeli women, in a deal brokered by Qatar, which hosts both
a US military base and Hamas’s political bureau.The country is one of
Hamas’s main backers, transferring hundreds of millions of dollars to
the terror group annually.Earlier Friday, the Qatar-based Al Jazeera
network reported that talks to release a large group of hostages were
advancing and would include a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The
report cannot be verified or corroborated.Separately, CNN also reported
that negotiations were ongoing, citing diplomatic sources. “Negotiations
are going very well,” the source told CNN. “There are issues still
remaining, but talks are ongoing, and we remain hopeful.”But in a
briefing Friday evening, IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari dismissed
such reports, calling them rumors.“I suggest not to pay attention to
the rumors, this is psychological terror by Hamas,” he said. “Do not
give in to its manipulations.Israel has publicly insisted that the
hostages must be released unconditionally. Hamas has reportedly been
seeking the entry of fuel into Gaza, which Israel has banned, as well as
the release of security prisoners from Israeli jails along with a
ceasefire.CNN also reported Friday that US Assistant Secretary of State
for Near East Affairs Barbara Leaf was in the Qatari capital Doha for
meetings with Qatar’s leadership, citing a person familiar with the
matter.Her presence in Qatar came a day after the Washington Post
reported that the US and Qatar have agreed to reevaluate the Gulf
monarchy’s relationship with Hamas after Doha completes its role in
freeing the hostages taken by the terror group.The agreement was reached
during a recent meeting between US Secretary of State Antony Blinken
and Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, and is an attempt by
Washington to balance its short-term objective of freeing as many
hostages as possible against the long-term strategy of choking off
Hamas’s support, the report said.On Friday, Ynet reported that Qatari
Ambassador to the US Meshal bin Hamad al Thani has spoken with an
Israeli man whose wife and three children are being held hostage by
Hamas in Gaza.Avichai Brodutch, who has been staging a one-man vigil
outside Defense Ministry headquarters in Tel Aviv, thanked the envoy for
Qatar’s efforts to free the hostages, according to the report.Brodutch
is the bereft husband of Hagar, 40, and father of Ofri, 10, Yuval, 8 and
Uriah, 4 who disappeared along with Avigayil Idan, whose parents Roee
and Smadar Idan were murdered on October 7 in Kibbutz Kfar Aza. He’s
been holding a vigil across the street from Israeli army headquarters in
Tel Aviv since.Brodutch reportedly asked al Thani to keep up the
intensive contact to free his family and the 30-odd other children
kidnapped by terrorists on October 7, Ynet said.The talks were the first
known contact between Qatar and Israeli civilians seeking the return of
their loved ones.Reports indicate that the Israeli point man on the
issue, Gal Hirsch, has been largely sidelined.There has been no
confirmation of the talks from Qatar.On Thursday, the families of the
hostages held a press conference to protest what they charged was
government inaction and failure to update them on the efforts to secure
the release of their loved ones.They warned that their patience had run
out.

Hamas hails measure,
calls for its immediate implementation-UN resolution urging immediate
Gaza ceasefire passes with overwhelming majority
Jerusalem denounces
General Assembly’s approval of ‘despicable’ Jordanian initiative that
makes no mention of Hamas, vows to move forward with goal of toppling
terror group-By Jacob Magid Today, 1:48 am-OCT 28,23
A resolution
calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, which made no mention of
Hamas, was overwhelmingly passed by the United Nations General Assembly
on Friday, drawing praise from the Islamist terror group and
condemnation from Israel.The resolution called for an immediate
ceasefire in Gaza, the release of all civilians, the protection of
civilians and international institutions, and ensuring the safe passage
of humanitarian aid into the Strip.The initiative was nonbinding but
highlighted the overwhelming international support for the Palestinians
amid Israel’s military campaign in response to the October 7 Hamas
onslaught.Israel has rejected calls for a ceasefire in Gaza, saying that
it is committed to toppling Hamas to prevent another mass assault like
the one that took place three weeks ago, when more than 1,400 people
were killed. Gaza terrorists also took some 230 people — mostly
civilians — as hostage into the enclave, releasing four of them
since.The US has also rejected calls for a ceasefire, suggesting that it
would amount to a victory for Hamas. It has, however, begun suggesting
that “humanitarian pauses” be considered to allow more humanitarian aid
into Gaza and to ensure safe passage of civilians looking to flee the
areas that the IDF is bombing most intensively in its aerial campaign
across the Strip.Israel insists it’s only targeting Hamas terrorists and
infrastructure but many civilians are believed to be among those
killed. The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza claims roughly 7,000
Palestinians have been killed by Israel, but those numbers cannot be
independently verified and include Palestinian terrorists killed
fighting the IDF as well as civilians killed as a result of errant
rockets launched by terror groups.The results of a UN General Assembly
vote on a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza on October 27,
2023.One-hundred and twenty countries voted in favor of the non-binding
resolution introduced by Jordan, while just 14 — United States, Austria,
Croatia, Czechia, Fiji, Guatemala, Hungary, Israel, Marshall Islands,
Micronesia, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay and Tonga — voted against
it.Forty-five countries abstained, including Australia, Canada, Finland,
Germany, Greece, India, Iraq, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland,
South Korea, Sweden, Tunisia, Ukraine and the UK.Canada sought to have
an amendment added to the resolution to include a condemnation of Hamas
and a majority of members backed the proposal, but it fell short of the
two-thirds majority needed to be adopted. Eighty-eight countries voted
for the amendment, 55 voted against and 33 abstained.Jordan’s ambassador
to the UN called the amendment an effort to “whitewash” Israeli
“atrocities” in Gaza.Israel fumed after the vote, with Foreign Minister
Eli Cohen decrying the “despicable” resolution and insisting that
“Israel intends to eliminate Hamas just as the world dealt with the
Nazis and ISIS.”UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan angrily dismissed the
resolution, saying Israel would continue to defend itself.“This is a
dark day for the UN and for mankind,” Erdan said, vowing Israel will use
“every means” in fighting Hamas.“Today is a day that will go down as
infamy. We have all witnessed that the UN no longer holds even one ounce
of legitimacy or relevance,” he added.Hamas welcomed the passage of the
resolution and called for its immediate implementation, including the
clause calling for the entry of fuel and relief materials for civilians
in the Gaza Strip.The rival Palestinian Authority’s foreign ministry
also welcomed the resolution, saying that as Israel’s campaign “reaches a
new peak of brutality,” there is “a solid international position
rejecting Israel’s unhinged aggression.”In a speech ahead of the vote,
US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield panned the Jordanian
resolution for failing to mention Hamas.“It is outrageous that this
resolution fails to name the perpetrators of the October 7th terrorist
attacks: Hamas,” Thomas Greenfield said.She also noted that the
resolution doesn’t include the word “hostages,” though, it did “call for
the immediate release of all civilians, demanding their safety,
well-being and humane treatment in compliance with international
law.”The US envoy clarified that Palestinian civilians, UN personnel and
humanitarian workers still must be protected, even though the Biden
administration does not support a ceasefire.She then highlighted the
story of Al Jazeera’s Gaza bureau chief Wael al-Dahdouh, whose wife, two
children and grandchild were killed in an Israeli airstrike earlier
this week.“We must not become numb to the pain and the suffering of
people like Wael Al-Dahdouh… My heart breaks for Wael. My heart breaks
for all -– all of the innocent civilians who are caught up in this
crisis,” she says.Pakistan’s UN Ambassador Munir Akran drew loud
applause when he said the Arab-drafted resolution deliberately didn’t
condemn or mention Israel or name any other party. “If Canada was really
equitable,” Akram said, “it would agree either to name everybody — both
sides who are guilty of having committed crimes — or it would not name
either as we chose.”On Thursday, during the first day of the debate on
the resolution, nearly every speaker backed the Jordanian draft
resolution, except for Erdan who told the assembly, “A cease-fire means
giving Hamas time to rearm itself, so they can massacre us again.”Erdan
played a video of a Hamas terrorist trying to decapitate a Thai worker
with a garden hoe during the October 7 onslaught in southern Israel, in a
speech that was received with silence.His Palestinian counterpart Riyad
Mansour, however, earned loud applause when he finished his address,
highlighting the global mood of the moment.“If you do not stop it for
all those who were killed, stop it for all those whose lives we can
still save,” Mansour said.Agencies contributed to this report.Police:
Don’t
answer calls from unknown foreign numbers amid potential hack
attempt-Authorities say calls flooding Israelis’ phones over past day
appear designed to cause panic, possibly hack WhatsApp accounts-By ToI
Staff Today, 2:18 am -0CT 28,23
Police and the National Cyber
Directorate said Friday that Israelis should not answer WhatsApp calls
coming from unknown numbers overseas, warning they could be part of a
phone-hacking attempt.Police said the calls flooding Israelis’ phones
were designed to cause panic and harass Israelis, warning they may also
be an attempt to hack their WhatsApp accounts.At least some of the
calls, which also included video calls, have come from US phone
numbers.“We recommend not answering them and not calling them back,”
police said.The cyber directorate noted that answering a call will not
lead to a phone being hacked or damaged.It added that the issue has been
reported to Meta, WhatsApp’s parent company.Authorities asked that
WhatsApp users set their privacy settings to hush calls from unknown
numbers, block and report the numbers making the calls, and avoid
clicking on links sent from unknown numbers.A number of Israeli
companies have faced cyberattacks amid the war in Gaza, which was
triggered by the Hamas terror group’s deadly onslaught in southern
Israel three weeks ago.
