Spanish pol who on Oct. 7 said Palestinians have
‘right to resist’ made a minister-United Left’s Sira Rego named minister
of children and youth, after accusing Jewish state of ‘exterminating a
people for 75 years’ in response to Israeli criticism
By Gabe Friedman Today, 4:19 am 1-NOV 21,23
JTA
— A Spanish politician who said that Palestinians have “the right to
resist after decades of occupation” on October 7, when Hamas terrorists
killed some 1,200 people in southern Israel and took at least 240
hostages, was named Spain’s minister of children and youth on
Monday.Sira Rego, who has been a member of the European Parliament since
2019, has a Palestinian father who lives in the West Bank. On X, the
platform formerly known as Twitter, she has since October 7 mostly
posted and reposted content from others on the Israel-Hamas war,
including graphic videos from the aftermath of bombings.When Israel’s
embassy in Madrid published a statement on October 16 criticizing “some
members of the Spanish government” for their comments on the war, Rego
wrote: “Nobody here has defended Hamas. You have been exterminating a
people for 75 years.” She also reposted tweets that said the “entire
Israeli diplomatic delegation must be expelled from the Spanish State”
and called Israel “undemocratic and corrupt.”Rego, 50, is a member of
the left-wing United Left party, and her cabinet position is new.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has been locked in months of
negotiations with various parties to form a governing parliamentary
coalition, which will likely include multiple left-wing parties and,
controversially, separatist Catalan factions.Ione Belarra, former acting
social rights minister who last month had called to “urgently suspend
diplomatic relations with the State of Israel,” lost her post on Monday.
Jose Manuel Albares, who called Israel’s October 16 statement an
“unfriendly gesture,” retained his position.Multiple Spanish synagogues
have been hit with graffiti tied to the Israel-Hamas conflict. Madrid’s
main synagogue in the heart of the Chamberí district was defaced with
graffiti that read “Free Palestine” next to a crossed-out Star of David
the day after the October 7 attacks.Times of Israel staff contributed to

Several IDF deaths in Gaza ground offensive were
the result of friendly fire-Army says it found rocket-making lab,
weapons and tunnel entrance inside mosque in Gaza City’s Zeitoun
neighborhood, where troops are engaged in intense fighting against Hamas
By Emanuel Fabian Today, 3:06 am 8,NOV 21,23
The
Israel Defense Forces has seen a number of incidents of so-called
“friendly fire” during fighting in the Gaza Strip, some of them with
deadly results, The Times of Israel has learned, as Israeli troops
engaged Monday in intense combat while pushing forward with the military
campaign in the Hamas-ruled enclave.There are currently thousands of
infantry forces, tanks, and other troops in Gaza during Israel’s ground
offensive against Hamas, operating in Gaza City’s dense
neighborhoods.The military has said it is constantly assessing the
ongoing fighting, including the cases of friendly fire, and quickly
implementing lessons learned.Sixty-six soldiers have been killed in Gaza
since the start of the ground incursion on October 27, which followed
three weeks of aerial bombardments in the wake of the Hamas-led
massacres on October 7, when Palestinian terrorists stormed the border
into southern Israel and killed some 1,200 people — mostly civilians —
and kidnapped at least 240.Israel declared war on Hamas in response,
launching an offensive aimed at toppling Gaza-ruling terror group and
securing the release of the hostages. The ground operation has
concentrated on northern Gaza but is expected to expand to the Strip’s
south in the future stages of the war.Over the weekend, Israeli ground
forces moved into Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood and the town of
Jabaliya, which are both strongholds of Hamas.The military said Monday
that IDF troops of the 188th Armored Brigade located a Hamas
rocket-making lab, weapons, and a tunnel entrance inside a mosque in
Zeitoun. They also found explosive devices and a drone.“I want you to
understand: A mosque, in the Zeitoun area, was being used as a lab for
making weapons,” IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said during an
evening press conference.“Troops enter the mosque, carry out scans, and
make sure there are no traps. They head inside this mosque and find a
tunnel shaft… and a staircase,” he said.In the basement, Hagari said the
troops found “a workshop for making rockets.”“Terrorists manufacturing
rockets in a mosque. Using Islam and the symbols of Islam to create
terror,” he charged.Hagari said the IDF will continue to expose Hamas’s
use of civilian sites for terror.The IDF also detailed the operations of
the 36th Division in the Gaza Strip over the past few days, during
which troops battled hundreds of Hamas operatives, and located weapons
and terror infrastructure in civilian sites.According to the IDF, the
infantry forces, tanks, and combat engineers of the 36th Division are
working to defeat Hamas’s Zeitoun battalion, operating in the
neighborhood of the same name.The operations in Zeitoun come after the
36th Division completed the capture of Gaza City’s Shati camp and Sabra
neighborhood.????The IDF details the operations of the 36th Division in

Fabian (@manniefabian) November 20, 2023-The military believes troops
have killed hundreds of terror operatives in Zeitoun so far. There is
heavy fighting, as Hamas is operating in cells of between five and 10
gunmen in the area, according to military assessments.The IDF believes
the fighting in Zeitoun will last at least another 72 hours, and when it
ends, the IDF will continue to work to demolish all of the terror
group’s infrastructure in the neighborhood.In a statement, the IDF said
the troops, led by the Golani Infantry Brigade, have engaged in several
gun battles with Hamas in Zeitoun, including operatives holed up in
residential homes, hospitals, schools, and other civilian sites.The
commander of the 36th Division, Brig. Gen. Dado Bar Kalifa said his
troops “constantly encountered the enemy hiding behind children and
women, and behind sensitive civilian infrastructure.”“The troops have
encountered many dozens of terrorists since the beginning of the
fighting in the neighborhood, conducting close-quarters fighting with
them, and have so far eliminated many of them,” the IDF said.The IDF
believes the fighting in Zeitoun will last at least another 72 hours,
and when it ends, the IDF will continue to work to demolish all of the
terror group’s infrastructure in the neighborhood. (4/7)

November 20, 2023-It said troops of the 188th Armored Brigade captured a
number of Hamas sites in Zeitoun, including the offices of the head of
Hamas’s Gaza City brigade.“The forces searched the area, located many
weapons, and at the end of the searches, they destroyed the office of
the brigade commander,” the IDF said.Forces of the Bislamach Brigade
(the IDF’s School for Infantry Corps Professions and Squad Commanders)
located and destroyed an Islamic Jihad compound in Zeitoun, where a
number of heavy and long-range rockets were found.The 36th Division
troops also directed several airstrikes in Zeitoun against Hamas
operatives, as well as located a rocket-making lab, weapons, explosive
devices, a drone, and a tunnel inside a mosque in the neighborhood.

(@manniefabian) November 20, 2023-The 36th Division troops directed
several airstrikes in Zeitoun against Hamas operatives.Fighting near
Indonesian Hospital-Heavy fighting also continued Monday around several
Gaza hospitals where Israel says Hamas has deeply embedded terror
infrastructure.Israel has long asserted that Hamas uses hospitals in the
Gaza Strip as the base for its terror activities. Since the start of
the ongoing war, in which Israel has vowed to eliminate Hamas from the
coastal enclave, the United States has backed up these charges with
independent evidence.In Jabaliya, the Hamas-controlled health ministry
announced the evacuation of 200 patients from the Indonesian Hospital
with the help of the Red Cross, after claiming 12 people were killed
there in an overnight Israeli strike. Israel has denied shelling the
hospital, saying its troops returned fire on terrorists who targeted
them from inside the 3.5-acre (1.4 hectare) compound.Ministry spokesman
Ashraf al-Qudra told AFP 200 people were evacuated from the Indonesian
Hospital and taken by bus to Nasser hospital in the southern town of
Khan Younis, where an AFP reporter saw two buses arriving in company of
the Red Cross.Earlier this month, the Israeli Defense Forces said that
it had intelligence documents showing the presence of a tunnel network
underneath the Indonesian Hospital, as well as aerial imagery showing
rocket launchers a few dozen meters from the complex.The IDF also
continued Monday to operate inside Shifa Hospital, Gaza’s largestm where
it has exposed weapons and tunnels along with camera footage from
inside the hospital showing that some of the hostages had been brought
there.Israeli officials have been intent on displaying evidence of
Hamas’s misuse of Shifa to the world, to back up their assertions that
the terror organization uses civilians and civilian infrastructure to
shield itself, and thus shore up support for Israel’s ongoing
offensive.The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry claims that 13,000 people
have been killed in Gaza since the start of the war on October 7,
including at least 5,500 children and 3,500 women. The figures provided
by the terror group cannot be independently verified and do not
differentiate between civilians and Hamas operatives, and also do not
distinguish between those killed by Israeli airstrikes and those killed
by failed Palestinian rocket launches.Times of Israel staff and agencies
contributed to this report.
Campus Antisemitism Legal Line could
be college gamechanger-Antisemitic incidents surged globally since Oct.
7 but most aren’t reported. Here’s why-Up to 79% of antisemitic
harassment is never divulged, according to experts who weigh in on
‘obstacles’ that deter Jewish victims – especially youth – from speaking
out-By Matt Lebovic Today, 1:32 am 8,NOV 21,23
NEW YORK — John
Michael Graves, 25, was walking out of his Moishe House residence in
Seattle when he spotted half a dozen antisemitic flyers “plastered” onto
poles near the unmarked building’s gate.“I ripped them down. It’s not
clear how they even knew it was a Moishe House,” said Graves, referring
to a cooperative group home for Jewish young adults. The flyers read
“F–k You Israel” with crossed-out Jewish stars and were affixed onto
street poles during the afternoon of October 24.“It really hit me in the
gut,” Graves told The Times of Israel. But he and his fellow residents
did not report the incident to the Moishe House movement, which says it
reaches 70,000 Jews in 27 countries, including six locations in
Israel.“We were scared and — it sounds ironic now — because this is
going in a newspaper and more attention is being drawn to ourselves — I
didn’t want to make it a bigger deal than it was,” said Graves. He is
one of four residents in his Moishe House, which are generally populated
by a mix of young professionals and grad students.“We are programmed to
think it’s just some flyer, not an active death threat,” said Graves,
who added that Moishe House has been an “incredible” resource for
himself and other residents regarding the Israel-Hamas war.“When I saw
the posters, I felt my hand grabbing at my Jewish star necklace,” said
Madison Holt, 23, another resident of Moishe House in Seattle.“I
couldn’t decide if I wanted to hide my necklace or not. I have always
felt safe living here, but this definitely was a wake-up call for how
things have changed since October 7,” Holt told The Times of
Israel.Since the unprecedented Hamas massacres of 1,200 people in Israel
last month and the taking of some 240 hostages, the Moishe House
movement has provided new resources to its “community builders” around
the world, including access to emotional support services, said
Graves.Now, six weeks after the eruption of the Israel-Hamas war on
October 7, world opinion has shifted away from recognizing and mourning
these atrocities.The reluctance of Graves and Holt to report this
incident of antisemitism is part of a widespread phenomenon, experts
told The Times of Israel. Nearly four in five Jews who experience
antisemitic harassment do not report it to law enforcement or media,
according to American Jewish Committee statistics.“Varying degrees of
trauma” are behind the lack of reporting, Anti-Defamation League (ADL)
spokesperson Jake Hyman told The Times of Israel.“Some people may report
right away, while others may want to pretend it never happened, which
would be understandable,” said Hyman.An important development for
universities, said Hyman, is the new “Campus Antisemitism Legal Line”
(CALL) for any student, family, faculty, or staff member to “report
incidents of antisemitic discrimination, intimidation, harassment,
vandalism, or violence that may necessitate legal action,” said
Hyman.Intake reports will be handled by lawyers working pro bono to
represent victims “who choose to move forward with specific cases,” said
Hyman.“CALL will also provide referrals to social services, mental
health counseling services, and other relevant support services in their
area,” said the ADL spokesperson.Not in my name-Experts told The Times
of Israel that many high school pupils and college students are afraid
to document harassment because it’s “nearly impossible to report
anonymously if one wants an investigation with actual results and
repercussions,” said Yael Lerman, executive director of the Saidoff
Legal Department at StandWithUs, a pro-Israel educational organization.
(This reporter works for StandWithUs as the director of its Holocaust
Education Center.)-“Students who file discrimination or bias complaints
under their name nearly inevitably become targets for ongoing harassment
or social media by individuals, by anti-Israel student groups, and even
in-person,” Lerman told The Times of Israel.The non-reporting of
antisemitism extends beyond student bodies, said Lerman.“Many Jewish
professionals on campus are not reporting antisemitic incidents because
they are scared by what they see,” said Lerman, an attorney who leads a
StandWithUs-cultivated network of lawyers willing to defend victims of
antisemitism on campus, for free.“They delete evidence and hope that by
not dealing with it, it will go away. The idea of holding antisemites
accountable through the criminal justice system instead of remaining
scared hasn’t taken hold yet in a broad enough way,” said Lerman.With
social media and evolving technologies, students and staff alike are
“afraid of being doxed and targeted for more harassment by being willing
to come forward as witnessing antisemitic attacks,” Lerman
said.Feelings of shame-The Israeli American Council (IAC) pointed to
“shame” as one reason why so many American Jews do not report on
antisemitism.“We know this because when we do receive reports [of
antisemitic incidents], many times students and parents will indicate
that they have experienced several other incidents before deciding to
report,” said Karen Bar-On, the IAC’s vice president of activism.“Also,
when we discuss the topic with community members or provide antisemitism
training to educators and students through our school or community
events, they will bring up cases they have experienced while admitting
they have not reported them,” Bar-On told The Times of Israel.Founded in
2007, the IAC represents more than 800,000 Israelis and their families
living in the US. Bar-On echoed attorney Lerman in asking Jews to
reconsider the importance of reporting antisemitic harassment, as
opposed to brushing it off.“First and foremost, we need to let people
know how to report and constantly remind them what resources are at
their service,” said Bar-On. “More importantly, community members must
understand the importance of reporting and standing up to each and every
incident they experience, no matter how ‘minor’ they may feel it is,”
she said.Abraham Foxman, national director emeritus for the
Anti-Defamation League, speaks at the Israeli American Council’s eighth
annual summit in Austin, Texas, on January 20, 2023. (David Finkel
photography)-According to data collected by the American Jewish
Committee (AJC) in 2021, 79% of American Jews “targeted by antisemitic
remarks did not report these incidents,” said Aaron Bregman, AJC’s
director of high school affairs.“Many high school students who face
antisemitism, discrimination, or bias choose not to report these
incidents, fearing social retaliation and potential isolation,” said
Bregman.Another factor involved in underreporting is that students “may
not be certain whether they have experienced discrimination and may
underestimate the severity of the issue,” said Bregman, adding, “Some
students may also struggle to recognize and define antisemitic actions,
hindering their ability to report accurately.”Bregman told The Times of
Israel that “uncertainty” around discrimination “often stems from a
perception that [Jewish students’] experiences do not compare to the
discrimination faced by their peers,” he said.Several experts pointed to
“microaggressions” as key to understanding the underreporting
phenomenon. One long-time student services director at Ivy League
universities said that far too many professors “challenge observant
Jewish students about missing class during Jewish holidays,” she told
The Times of Israel.Additionally, students may assume they have
documented an incident when, procedurally, they haven’t.“Students think
they have reported something when they comment on it in an institutional
survey, but that reporting doesn’t get shared with the systems that
track or even do anything about antisemitism on campus,” said the former
Hillel professional, who asked to remain anonymous due to her position
in academia.Disbelief that anything will be done-Across the Atlantic, in
Britain, a “large proportion” of antisemitic incidents in public
schools and university campuses are never reported, said Dave Rich of
the Community Service Trust, which has recorded and responded to
antisemitism since 1984.“The most likely reasons for not reporting are
that they don’t feel anything will be done, or they don’t know how to
report,” Rich told The Times of Israel.Within Europe, the European Union
has conducted research into antisemitism in 2012 and 2018. Findings
demonstrated that “most antisemitic harassment was not reported to
anyone,” said Rich.“We don’t have specific data for non-reporting of
campus or school-related antisemitism, but this gives some indication of
what we might be looking at,” said Rich.With private Catholic
universities in the US now opening their doors to enroll harassed Jewish
students, the public is still only seeing the “tip of the iceberg”
regarding antisemitism, experts believe. Without a significant increase
in victims reporting on incidents of harassment, discrimination against
Jews may continue to fly mostly under the radar.

1,000
boats said set to leave Turkey for Gaza waters in new ‘Freedom
Flotilla’Reminiscent of infamous 2010 Mavi Marmara protest, large
maritime convoy plans to remain in international waters off Ashdod and
disrupt sea trade route to Israel
By Gianluca Pacchiani Today, 1:07 am 15,NOV 21,23
Approximately
1,000 boats will gather in Turkey on Wednesday before heading toward
Gaza in an attempt to break the Israeli blockade and disrupt maritime
trade coming into Israel during the war with Hamas, in an apparent
repeat of similar attempts from over a decade ago.In an interview with
Turkish news website Haber7, Volkan Okçu, one of the organizers of the
protest, indicated the boats will carry 4,500 people from 40 countries,
“including anti-Zionist Jews.”Among the 1,000 vessels would be 313 boats
filled with Russian activists, and 104 filled with Spanish activists,
he said. Only 12 Turkish vessels will join the flotilla, he told
Haber7.However, Okçu said in a later tweet that he expected the number
of Turkish vessels to be much higher, at least 1,000, and insisted that
the initiative is not associated with the Turkish government. He did not
explain the discrepancy in numbers.The activist indicated to Haber7
that the flotilla is scheduled to leave Turkish coasts on Thursday. The
maritime convoy is set to make a first stop in Cyprus before continuing
toward the Israeli port of Ashdod. Some participants in the flotilla
will also reportedly take their spouses and children on board.Okçu said
that the main objective of the operation would be to cause disruption in
international waters off the Israeli coast to the maritime trade
heading for the port of Ashdod, in order to interrupt the supply of
goods to Israel for a week or even up to 10 days.Bodrum'a geldim, akşam

2023-The protest action is reminiscent of the attempt by the so-called
“Gaza Freedom Flotilla” in May 2010, which tried to breach the maritime
blockade on the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, but was intercepted by the
Israeli Navy.After the convoy refused Israeli Navy orders to reroute to
Ashdod, Israeli commandos boarded one of the ships, the Mavi Marmara,
which was carrying over 600 passengers. After being met with violent
resistance the commandos opened fire, killing 10 Turkish activists. Ten
Israeli soldiers were wounded during the attack.Following the Mavi
Marmara incident, several other flotillas to Gaza were attempted, but
largely foiled by Israeli military and diplomatic activities.“The
Zionist regime seems to have no chance to repeat the Mavi Marmara
incident,” the Turkish activist said. “The vessels sail under flags of
the US, the UK, Luxembourg, Russian, Germany, Spain, Poland, and many
other countries.” The activist noted that luxury boats will also join
the flotilla and that participants from Europe and the USA will spend an
average of $14,000 to join.Okçu vowed that protesters would “strictly
follow international rules” and would not carry any weapons, “not even a
pocket knife,” so as not to give Israel any “excuse” to intervene.“The
moment we enter Gaza’s territorial waters, [Israeli forces] can only
search us,” the activist said, “or tow us to their ports, and impose
fines,” but will not be allowed by international law to raid the convoy
in international waters, the way they assaulted the Mavi Marmara in
2010. “[Israel] would pay a heavy price for attempting any crazy action
against such a large international peace fleet.”The diplomatic crisis
between Israel and Turkey that ensued after the Mavi Marmara incident
was only solved in 2016, when Jerusalem agreed to pay $20 million in
compensation to the families of the victims and to allow Turkish aid
into Gaza – and in return, Istanbul agreed not to hold any individual
Israeli nationals criminally or financially liable for the incident.The
blockade on Gaza was imposed by Israel in 2007, shortly after Hamas took
control of the coastal enclave, and enforced in cooperation with
neighboring Egypt to prevent the terror group from rearming and becoming
an even greater menace, after it repeatedly declared its intention to
destroy Israel. The blockade involved a ban on specific goods, and a
limitation of the delivery into Gaza of dual-use materials that could be
utilized for both civilian and military purposes by Hamas.Despite the
blockade, Hamas since 2007 managed to acquire weaponry and funding,
thanks mainly to Iranian and Qatari support, and to fire rockets at
Israeli towns and cities on a regular basis, causing skirmishes which on
repeated occasions escalated into protracted conflict.Hamas’s attacks
on Israel culminated in its October 7 onslaught on southern Israel, when
3,000 Hamas-led terrorists burst through the border and slaughtered
1,200 people, most of them civilians, rampaging through communities in
southern Israel and mowing down partygoers at a music festival. The
terrorists also abducted some 240 people to Gaza, where they are still
held hostage.The Mavi Marmara incident from 2010 carries particular
significance for the Hamas regime in Gaza, as a symbol of international
support to ending the blockade. A monument erected in the Gaza port
commemorated the event; it was demolished by the IDF on Thursday in the
course of Israel’s ongoing war, launched after the October 7 massacres,
aimed at destroying Hamas.2010 yılında işgal güçlerinin Mavi Marmara’ya

(@mavimarmaratr) November 16, 2023-The so-called “Freedom Flotilla
Coalition,” which organized the 2010 blockade breach, recently announced
that it intends to sail again to Gaza in the near future to put
pressure on the Israeli and US governments to allow “inspected
humanitarian goods” to be delivered into Gaza, and invited other
organization to join its boats. It is unclear whether the convoy that is
set to depart from Turkey on Thursday is organized by the Freedom
Flotilla Coalition or is a separate initiative.Various attempts were
made by international activists after 2010 to bust the blockade,
including one by a boat carrying only women in 2016, and another by a
Swedish-flagged boat in 2018. In both cases, the vessels were
intercepted by the Israeli navy and towed to the port of Ashdod.

calls demonstration 'repulsive and disgusting' ‘Israel is not our
friend’: Neo-Nazis salute Hitler in march through Wisconsin town-‘Blood
Tribe’ white supremacist group parade passes old synagogue structure no
longer in use, waving swastikas and chanting ‘There will be blood’By
Rachel Leigh Hale Today, 12:22 am 16,NOV 21,23
MADISON, Wisconsin
(JTA) — A neo-Nazi group of around 20 people marched through this
Midwestern capital city on Saturday morning brandishing black-and-white
swastika flags, chanting “There will be blood” and saluting Adolf
Hitler.The group wore shirts labeled “Blood Tribe,” identifying them as
members of a white supremacist group that the Anti-Defamation League
says “openly directs its vitriol at Jews, ‘non-whites’ and the LGBTQ+
community” and “aims to usher in a resurgence of Nazi ideas and
ultimately build a white ethno-state.” The group was founded two years
ago and is based in Maine, where its founder had hoped to build a
compound, but has adherents elsewhere.The demonstrators expressed
anti-Israel messages, in addition to antisemitic ones, as they stood in
front of the Wisconsin State Capital for about 30 minutes before
marching to a nearby park. They chanted “Israel is not our friend” and
shouted “We are everywhere,” according to bystanders. They also hurled
racial slurs at onlookers.Videos posted to social media also showed the
group stopping in front of the fourth-oldest surviving synagogue
structure in the United States, James Madison Park’s Gates of Heaven,
which is no longer actively used.The incident follows a Madison Police
investigation into a November 7 incident, in which a group of Jewish
students reported having a rock thrown at them after attending a vigil
supporting Israel. According to the ADL, there was a 400% spike in
reported antisemitic incidents nationally in the month since Hamas’s
October 7 massacre in Israel, in which 3,000 terrorists murdered some
1,200 people in southern Israel. In the days following the devastating
onslaught, which sparked an ongoing war between Israel and Hamas in
Gaza, pro-Palestinian protesters at the University of Wisconsin-Madison,
the state’s flagship public campus, chanted “Glory to the martyrs,” as
well as, “We will liberate the land by any means necessary.”“What was
clear to me quite quickly is they were emboldened to speak because of
the events in Israel,” said Ben Newman, a Jewish student at the
University of Wisconsin, regarding the neo-Nazi marchers. “It is
disheartening that people do not see that connection between the amount
of speech against Israel, the rising antisemitism, and the fact that the
worst members of our society, the neo-Nazis, feel emboldened to come
out.”Gov. Tony Evers, Sen. Tammy Baldwin, Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes
Conway, and several lawmakers condemned the demonstration.“Let us be
clear: neo-Nazis, antisemitism, and white supremacy have no home in
Wisconsin. We will not accept or normalize this rhetoric and hate,”
Evers said in a statement. “It’s repulsive and disgusting, and I join
Wisconsinites in condemning and denouncing their presence in our state
in the strongest terms possible.”The neo-Nazis briefly walked on the
University of Wisconsin campus. Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin called the
group “utterly repugnant” and gave a rundown of university resources in a
statement sent to students.“I am horrified to see these symbols here in
Madison. Hatred and antisemitism are completely counter to the
university’s values, and the safety and well-being of our community must
be our highest priorities,” Mnookin, who is Jewish, wrote in the
statement.Newman praised the administration’s swift response but added
that he would like to see the same support when people who are not
waving Nazi flags have also engaged in antisemitic speech.“It’s not
surprising that we’re able to condemn Nazis, but we struggle to condemn
people who call for an intifada,” Newman said, referencing protests on
campus. “We really need to reflect on why that is the case as we see
antisemitism fester on this campus, and Jewish students feel more
isolated from their non-Jewish peers.”
South Africa to host BRICS
summit on Israel-Hamas war-Virtual summit of forum comprising Brazil,
Russia, India, China and South Africa aims to draw up common response to
Gaza conflict; UN secretary-general also attending-By AFP 20 November
2023, 11:19 pm 2
South Africa will Tuesday host a virtual summit
of the BRICS group of nations, including Russian President Vladimir
Putin, to discuss the war between Israel and the Hamas terror group,
Pretoria and Moscow said Monday.The BRICS — Brazil, Russia, India,
China and South Africa — are a group of major emerging economies seeking
to reshape the US and Western-led global order.Tuesday’s “Extraordinary
Joint Meeting on the Middle East Situation in Gaza” will be hosted by
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in the hope of drawing up a
common response to the more than six-week conflict.Leaders from Saudi
Arabia, Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates —
who are all due to join the BRICS group in January 2024 — will attend
the meeting.UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres will also participate,
the South African presidency said in a statement.It added that all five
BRICS heads of state will join the virtual summit, after which a joint
statement with particular reference to Gaza is expected.War erupted
after Hamas’s October 7 massacre, which saw some 3,000 terrorists burst
across the border into Israel from the Gaza Strip by land, air and sea,
killing some 1,200 people and seizing over 240 hostages of all ages.In
Gaza, officials say around 13,300 people, more than 5,500 of them
children, have been killed in Israel’s retaliatory air and ground
offensive, which aims to destroy the terror group’s infrastructure. The
figures are issued by the Hamas-run health ministry and cannot be
independently verified, and are believed to include both civilians and
Hamas members killed in Gaza, including as a consequence of terror
groups’ own rocket misfires.South Africa has long been a vocal supporter
of the Palestinian cause, with the ruling African National Congress
(ANC) party often linking it to its own struggle against apartheid.The
ANC said last Thursday that it would support a parliamentary motion to
suspend diplomatic relations with Israel until it agrees to a ceasefire
in Gaza, decrying the “genocidal actions of the Israeli regime.”On
Friday, South Africa joined four other nations in calling for an
International Criminal Court investigation into the Israel-Hamas
war.China has historically been sympathetic to the Palestinians and
supportive of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict.Beijing has been calling for an immediate ceasefire since the
start of the war last month.India, which has tried to balance its
current close ties with Israel and its traditional support for the
Palestinians, may be a moderating voice.Russian President Vladimir Putin
has accused the West of stoking tensions in the Middle East, and
criticized Israel for its conduct in the conflict.Putin skipped the last
BRICS annual summit in Johannesburg, as he is the target of an
International Criminal Court arrest warrant — a provision that South
Africa as an ICC member would be expected to implement if he were to set
foot in the country.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
Israel
recalls envoy to South Africa after Pretoria calls for Netanyahu’s
arrest-The South African gov’t has repeatedly described Israel’s
campaign in Gaza as ‘genocide’ and has filed a referral to the
International Criminal Court against Israel for war crimes
By Jeremy Sharon 20 November 2023, 11:03 pm 34
Israel
recalled its Ambassador to South Africa Eli Belotserkovsky for
consultations on Monday following a series of highly antagonistic
comments and steps by the government in Pretoria over Israel’s military
campaign in Gaza.Earlier on Monday, a South African government minister
called on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue an arrest
warrant for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by mid-December.South
Africa has already recalled its own ambassador and diplomatic staff from
Israel, and the government has repeatedly described the Israeli
campaign in Gaza as “genocide.”“Against the background of recent
comments from South Africa, the Israel ambassador to South Africa has
been called for consultations in Jerusalem,” read a short statement from
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued Monday night.During a press
briefing on Monday, South African Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo
Ntshavheni said the government expected the ICC to issue an arrest
warrant against Netanyahu, and that failure to do so would represent a
failure of global governance.“The world cannot simply stand by and
watch. The global community needs to rise to stop this genocide now,”
said Ntshavheni.She noted that South Africa’s ambassador to The Hague in
the Netherlands had filed a referral to the ICC “to investigate the
commission of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide” against
Israel last week, together with the Comoros, Djibouti, Bolivia and
Bangladesh.“Given that much of the global community are witnessing the
commission of these crimes in real-time, including statements of
genocidal intent by many Israeli leaders, we expect that warrants of
arrest for these leaders including Prime Minister Netanyahu will be
issued shortly,” said Ntshavheni.“Failure to do so will be indicative of
a lack of will to act by the ICC and a strong signal to the total
failure of the global system of good governance and the need to
establish a new system.”Earlier this month, the South African government
recalled its ambassador and diplomatic mission to Israel, described the
war against Hamas in Gaza as “genocide,” and said it was considering
shutting down the Israeli embassy in Pretoria entirely.And last week, a
spokesperson for the ruling African National Congress (ANC) party said
the party “Cannot sit back and watch the genocidal actions of the
Israeli regime.”Seven other countries have taken diplomatic steps
against Israel, since the beginning of its war against Hamas, including
Bolivia, Turkey, Jordan, Colombia, Chile, Honduras, and Chad.Israel
declared war on Hamas in Gaza after the terror group invaded southern
Israel on October 7 with approximately 3,000 terrorists who killed some
1,200 people, mostly civilians, brutally massacring babies, children and
the elderly, as well as revelers at an outdoor festival, during the
savage assault.Hamas also abducted more than 240 hostages from Israel,
whom it is holding captive in Gaza without access to visits by the
International Committee of the Red Cross or any other humanitarian
organization.The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza claims that some
13,000 people have been killed in Israel’s subsequent air and ground
offensive, but those figures cannot be independently verified, and
likely include both civilians and Hamas members killed in Gaza,
including those who have died as a result of misfiring rockets launched
by terror groups inside the enclave.Pretoria has long been an ardent
supporter of the Palestinians, and the ANC has sought to link its
struggle against the apartheid regime in South Africa to the demands of
the Palestinians for an independent state.Separately, Foreign Minister
Eli Cohen together with Dutch Foreign Minister Henke Bruins Slot spoke
with families of the hostages in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in
Jerusalem on Monday night.Among those present were the family members of
Ofir Engel, a dual Dutch-Israeli citizen who was abducted by Hamas from
Kibbutz Be’eri.Foreign Minister Eli Cohen and Dutch Foreign Minister
Henke Bruins Slot meet with the families of hostages taken captive by
Hamas in Gaza, in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Jerusalem, November
20, 2023. (Miri Shamanowitz, Ministry of Foreign Affairs)-Cohen called
on the Dutch government to help take action against Hamas’s sources of
funding in Europe and said Israel would continue fighting the terror
group “until its goals are achieved” and the hostages returned.“I call
on the Netherlands to act decisively against the terrorist organization
Hamas and its affiliates, today it is us and tomorrow it is the entire
West,” said Cohen.“Since the massacre of October 7, many people in the
world understand who Israel is facing Israel: a murderous terrorist
organization, worse than ISIS, which does not hesitate to murder and
kidnap babies, children, women, and the elderly.”

UN
chief calls for interim Arab-US force to control Gaza after
war-Guterres says United Nations protectorate would not work, but plan
for post-war international force and eventual Palestinian Authority
takeover already rejected by Netanyahu, Arabs
By AFP and ToI Staff 20 November 2023, 10:33 pm 20
A
UN protectorate in Gaza after the current Israel-Hamas war would not
solve the conflict there, the world body’s secretary-general said
Monday, calling instead for a “transition period,” involving Arab
nations and the United States, and leading to a two-state
solution.Antonio Guterres said it was “important to be able to transform
this tragedy into an opportunity” — which, for him, meant moving “in a
determined and irreversible way to a two-state solution.”That would
mean, after the current war between Israel and Hamas terrorists in Gaza
ends, “a strengthened Palestinian Authority assuming responsibilities in
Gaza,” he said.But the PA cannot go into Gaza backed by Israeli tanks,
he added — meaning the “international community needs to look into a
transition period.”“I do not think that a UN protectorate in Gaza is a
solution,” however, Guterres said.Instead, he called for a
“multi-stakeholder approach” that would see the US act as the “main
guarantor” of Israel’s security, while Arab nations are “essential” to
support Palestinians.Everybody needs to come together to create the
conditions for the transition, allowing for a strengthened Palestinian
Authority to assume responsibilities in Gaza,” and from there to a
two-state solution, he said.The Palestinian Authority used to rule Gaza
until 2007, when it was overthrown by Hamas. It continues to rule parts
of the West Bank, but is widely viewed as corrupt and
ineffective.Gutteres’s plan also conflicts with Israel’s current stated
plans for Gaza’s post-war future.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has
not yet elaborated on who will run Gaza once Hamas is eliminated, but
has said that the PA is “not fit” in its current form to govern the
Strip, and has also rebuffed calls for an international
force.Additionally, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi told the
Manama Security Forum on Saturday that “no Arab troops” would be
deployed in Gaza after the war.Guterres also again denounced the killing
of civilians — especially children — in Gaza, as Israel wages an air
and ground campaign aimed at eliminating Hamas following its October 7
massacre.For seven years now, he has published a “list of shame” of
parties to armed conflict who commit grave violations against children.
Israel’s absence from the list has previously been criticized by human
rights organizations.Without saying whether that may change this year,
Guterres put the number of children killed in Gaza into stark context.In
the “shame” reports, the highest number of children killed in one year
by one actor was the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2017-2018, followed by
the Syrian government and its allies before 2020. Both times the tally
was in the hundreds.“Without entering into discussing the accuracy of
the numbers that were published by de facto authorities in Gaza, what is
clear is that we have had in a few weeks thousands of children killed,”
Guterres told reporters.“We are witnessing a killing of civilians that
is unparalleled and unprecedented in any conflict since I am
secretary-general.”Guterres had already caused widespread outrage in
Israel when he appeared to justify the deadly Hamas assault on
Israel.War erupted after Hamas’s shock October 7 assault on southern
Israeli communities, when 3,000 terrorists broke through the border and
murdered some 1,200 people, a majority of them civilians, amid brutal
atrocities, and kidnapped some 240 people to Gaza.In response, Israel
vowed to eliminate the terror group in a military campaign that the
Hamas-run health ministry says has killed 13,000 people in Gaza,
including thousands of children. Those figures cannot be independently
verified, and do not distinguish between terror operatives,
noncombatants, and those killed in failed rocket launches.
Cyprus
prepared to ‘immediately’ ship aid to Gaza through sea
corridor-Shipments can begin traveling from Larnaca to Gaza as soon as
there is pause in fighting, as part of initiative to boost limited aid
entering through Rafah crossing-By Agencies 20 November 2023, 10:33 pm 0
Cyprus
is ready to “immediately” begin shipping large quantities of
humanitarian aid to Gaza in vessels that can navigate shallow water once
conditions on the ground allow for it, the president of the east
Mediterranean island nation said Monday.Cypriot President Nikos
Christodoulides said his country’s proposal for a maritime corridor from
Cyprus’s port of Larnaca to Gaza is the “only one currently being
discussed on an international level” as a feasible way to significantly
supplement the trickle of aid getting into the enclave through Egypt’s
Rafah border checkpoint.Planning for the corridor of about 230 miles
(370 kilometers) is essentially completed, and aid can begin to flow
when a pause in fighting is declared, Christodoulides said.The Cypriot
leader, who has been in regular contact with Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu about the proposal, said that getting a green light to start
the shipments is a complicated matter requiring intricate negotiations,
in light of the ongoing Israeli military operations in Gaza.“Everyone
supports this initiative, the European Union, the United States,”
Christodoulides told The Associated Press in an interview. “When we say
that we’re a bridge to the region, we’re showing this in practice. It’s
very important for our country.”More significant is that Foreign
Ministry spokesperson Lior Haiat said his country was “definitely in
favor of the project.”“We are exploring it with all the relevant
ministries and agencies in Israel,” Haiat said, without indicating when
the corridor from Cyprus might open.War was sparked by the Hamas terror
group’s shock October 7 assault on southern Israeli communities, when
3,000 terrorists broke through the border and murdered some 1,200
people, a majority of them civilians, and kidnapped some 240 people to
Gaza.In response, Israel vowed to eliminate the terror group in a
military campaign that the Hamas-run health ministry says has killed
13,000 people in Gaza, including thousands of children. Those figures
cannot be independently verified, and do not distinguish between terror
operatives and noncombatants, or those killed by failed rocket
launches.Aid organizations say civilians do not have enough food or
clean water, and hospitals in Gaza report being out of basic medical
supplies.The Israeli government has said it was reluctant to let aid
into Gaza because Hamas might divert the shipments and thereby extend
the group’s survival. Its sensitivity regarding the security of supplies
coming from Cyprus was addressed with an invitation for authorities
from Israel, the US, and other European countries to join Cypriot agents
in vetting all shipments so nothing could be used by Hamas against
Israel.In the immediate term, shallow-draft vessels will be used to
ferry the aid, and Cyprus is in contact with Gulf countries that can
dispatch such ships, Christodoulides said.“What do we want? We want
everything to be in place so when the situation on the ground allows for
it, we can start,” Cyprus’s president said.In the medium term, planning
foresees the construction of a floating dock off Gaza where all types
of ships can offload assistance. For the long-term, the idea is to
construct a Gaza port, he said.According to Christodoulides, a side
benefit to using the port of Larnaca to load cargo is its ample
facilities to store the aid and its very close proximity to the island’s
main airport as well as a US-funded facility built to train personnel
from Cyprus and neighboring countries on port and maritime
security.Medicine, food, clothing, and other essentials collected and
stored at the port will flow to Gaza continuously, but it would be a
one-way aid corridor, meaning that no Palestinians would be permitted to
use the ships to leave the enclave, he said.Aid reaching Gaza would be
distributed by the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees using
its established network, Christodoulides said.Times of Israel staff

Israeli startup comes out of stealth
to tackle cyber threats in the GenAI wild west-Lasso Security raises $6m
in seed funding while its co-founder fights in the Israeli-Hamas war
and its workers raise donations to supply protective gear for
soldiers-By Sharon Wrobel 20 November 2023, 9:34 pm 0
While one
of its founders is drafted in the Israeli army to fight the Hamas terror
group, Tel Aviv-based startup Lasso Security came out of stealth on
Monday armed with $6 million in seed funding.The Israeli startup has
secured seed funding led by London-based Entrée Capital with the
participation of Samsung Next, to enter the fray in the market for the
protection against cyber threats as more and more businesses are
adopting generative AI technologies.Lasso confirmed it rejected
investment capital from Web Summit’s venture capital arm, after the
outgoing CEO of the tech summit company accused Israel of committing
“war crimes” in its response to the Hamas terror group’s devastating
onslaught.With the recent hype over OpenAI’s ChatGPT, a so-called large
language model that uses deep learning to spit out human-like text, and
Google’s Bard chatbot, an array of new applications and tools in the
field of AI have been sprouting at a swift pace. The fast adoption of
new GenAI and LLMs technologies by businesses and enterprises also makes
their network systems and devices vulnerable to multiple security
threats, including data exposure.Founded in July by serial entrepreneurs
Elad Schulman, Ophir Dror, and Yuval Abad, Lasso has developed a
security platform to help organizations make the transition to the GenAI
technological revolution, while protecting their data, customers, and
employees.The startup says that its platform vigilantly safeguards every
data point, command, and prompt generated by LLMs, allowing businesses
to embed GenAI technologies without jeopardizing both data and user
privacy while protecting against malicious threats.“As early as next
year, organizations without a dedicated GenAI risk management solution
will experience negative outcomes,” said Lasso co-founder and CEO
Schulman. “We’ve analyzed numerous LLM security challenges and developed
a comprehensive solution encompassing preventative and remediation
measures.”“Our mission is to equip businesses with robust defenses to
safeguard their systems, including those using generative AI
technologies that leverage LLMs,” Schulman added.Lasso says its platform
is addressing numerous, sophisticated and emerging LLM cybersecurity
threats, such as model theft, malicious code generation, prompt
injection, data poisoning, and supply chain attacks.One-third of
businesses and organizations are already regularly using generative AI
in at least one function, according to a recent report by consultancy
giant McKinsey. In addition, 40 percent of those reporting AI adoption
at their organizations say their companies expect to invest more in
generative AI technologies, according to the report.Dror, Lasso’s
co-founder, is one of the more than 300,000 reservists who have been
called up to the Israeli army in the aftermath of the October 7
atrocities perpetrated by Hamas, which killed about 1,200 people, most
of them civilians. The Iran-backed terror group seized at least 240
hostages under the cover of massive rocket fire.In the onset of the war,
co-founder Dror was at the front and realized that he and other
soldiers lacked protective gear, Lasso’s employees decided that they
were “enlisting” in the effort and raised funds to supply them with
essential equipment. In realizing there was a bigger need in other army
units, Lasso joined forces with the Duvdevan Foundation and the National
Union of Israeli Students and established a logistics center at the
company’s headquarters in Tel Aviv.Together, they raised $1.5 million
from donations, which resulted in the supply of over 800 packages of
protective equipment, first aid kits, field medicine, and other
necessary supplies to numerous Israel Defense Forces units to help
ensure the safety of soldiers in the field.

Elite forces two weeks ago captured two terrorists who
had infiltrated from the Gaza Strip during the October 7 assault,
detaining them in the southern Bedouin city of Rahat, nearly a month
after they first entered the country, the Border Police and the Shin Bet
security agency announced in a Monday statement.The terrorists were
arrested and detained for questioning, and no Israeli troops were hurt
in the operation.The two had infiltrated Israel from Gaza during Hamas’s
surprise assault. which saw some 3,000 terrorists burst across the
border by land, air, and sea, killing some 1,200 people, most of them
civilians, and seizing over 240 hostages of all ages.Rahat, just north
of Beersheba, is some 30 kilometers (around 18.5 miles) from the Gaza
Strip.The statement gave no details on how the two terrorists reached
Rahat, though Channel 12 reported that the pair was hiding out in the
house of a local resident, who claimed not to have known they were
terrorists on the run.Channel 12 added that the arrests were not
publicized in the past two weeks due to suspicions that the terrorists
may have been planning another attack inside Israel.The Shin Bet
statement clarified that one of the detainees was a known Hamas
operative, while the other had entered Israel along with hundreds of
others after the Gaza border fence was breached on October 7.Lahav 433,
the Israel Police’s criminal investigation division, has been collecting
evidence of murder, torture and other atrocities perpetrated by Hamas
on October 7, in preparation for criminal prosecution. Investigators
have been collecting testimonies and evidence, and interrogating the
terrorists who were captured alive. Most details of the investigations
are currently under a gag order.News of the arrests earlier this month
came hours after a Knesset committee hearing on legislating a death
penalty for terrorism. The bill proposes that the only punishment for
someone convicted of killing an Israeli citizen due to racist
motivations or “hostility” to the Israeli public “in order to harm the
State of Israel and the revival of the Jewish people in our land” would
be the death penalty.However, Deputy Attorney General Ran Nizri,
representing the families of the hostages held by Hamas in Gaza at
Monday’s hearing, argued that current law allows for the death penalty
against terrorists, a position supported earlier this week by former
attorney general Avichai Mandelblit.
IDF: Some 300 Gaza detainees
questioned, give vital details on Hamas bases in hospitals-Military
says suspects being interrogated at new facility in southern Israel;
other Gazans in unprecedented numbers said willingly providing intel on
Hamas activities
By Emanuel Fabian and ToI Staff 20 November 2023, 7:49 pm 18
The
Israeli military said Monday that it had established a detention
facility in southern Israel to bring detainees from the Gaza Strip for
questioning and has interrogated some 300 people, including terrorists
from Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and other groups at the facility so far.The
Israel Defense Forces said the terror operatives and detainees provided
interrogators with the locations of Hamas tunnel networks and weapons
depots in Gaza, as well as detailing the terror group’s methods of
operation, including their widespread use of human shields.The IDF’s
Military Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 504 — which specializes in
HUMINT (human intelligence) — has dozens of Arabic-speaking soldiers
that are on the ground in the Gaza Strip, alongside the combat units,
carrying out field interrogations and providing intelligence to forces,
the military said.Unit 504 has doubled its personnel amid the fighting,
and established a new sub-unit specifically for southern Israel.Overall,
the unit has questioned some 500 Palestinians and has made millions of
calls to civilians to evacuate northern Gaza since the beginning of the
fighting in the Strip.“Each and every investigation leads to the
incrimination of new sites, and the human intelligence that emerges… is
an inseparable layer of the complete intelligence picture,” said a
senior Unit 504 officer.The IDF published three videos showing detainees
detailing to Unit 504 interrogators Hamas’s use of hospitals for terror
purposes. The men described how they hid at the Shifa and Rantisi
hospitals, the Red Crescent building, and other medical centers, while
Hamas used the sites to fight Israeli soldiers.While some detainees are
terror suspects, others worked for the Hamas-run government, and some
appeared to be uninvolved but had knowledge of the terror group’s
activities.Israel says Hamas uses Shifa and other hospitals as
protection for its terror activity, and has specifically singled out
Shifa as a key underground operations center for the group.On Sunday,
the military shared new footage of the underground network of tunnels
and bunkers it says is buried under the hospital, as Israeli forces
continue to operate in and around the facility. It also released
surveillance camera footage from Shifa showing Hamas terrorists bringing
a Nepali and Thai citizen who were abducted from Israel on October 7,
when thousands of terrorists burst across the border into Israel from
Gaza and killed some 1,200 people, a majority of them civilians, and
also took some 240 hostages of all ages.Vowing to eliminate Hamas,
Israel declared war and launched an offensive it said is aimed at
destroying the terror group’s infrastructure and targeting all areas
where Hamas operates, while seeking to minimize civilian casualties.The
Israeli military has been operating ground forces in northern Gaza for
close to a month, focused on terror targets in that part of the enclave,
and specifically Shifa Hospital.Israeli officials have been intent on
producing evidence of Hamas’s misuse of Shifa to the world, to back up
their assertions that the terror organization uses civilians and
civilian infrastructure to shield itself, and thus shore up support for
Israel’s ongoing offensive.In one video provided on Monday by the
military of part of an interrogation of a terror suspect apprehended
last week, the suspect says he was at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, where
some 50,000 people were seeking refuge, and the “doctors were furious
because Hamas operatives and operatives of other terror groups were
inside the hospital.”The suspect estimated that there were about 100
such operatives at the hospital and that some “dressed as nursing staff
and other medical staff “to blend in with the hospital wards,” even in
the intensive care unit.Another suspect who gave his name as Hamuda Riad
Asad Shalamah, a father of three from Gaza City, said he was an
internet application engineer at the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry and
sought refuge with his family at the Red Crescent building in the city
when the war began, as it was considered “safe and secure.”He said the
10-floor complex hosted about 40,000 people, including Hamas members who
“continued to operate” from the building.“What I saw was how they
wrapped the rockets with mattresses and hid them…and also guns,” he said
in the interrogation, according to a English translation provided by
the IDF.If “one of their rockets would explode, it could kill 50 of us,
or more.”“This happened on a daily basis. No one can tell them no. Who
could do so? If you dare confront a Hamas member, he may kill you,” he
added.Shalamah said the “sheer number of people in the place served as
protection for them. We became their human shields. It’s obvious that
the IDF would not strike a place with 40,000 people in it.”“It was
scary, the whole thing was terrible. We went there to find shelter, and
then they came and endangered me and my family at this place,” he went
on.In a third clip of an interrogation provided by the military, the
suspect who gives his name as Abdelrahman Alaa Ibrahim Samur, said he
can answer questions about what he saw at the “Swedish Hospital” in
Gaza, which belongs to UNRWA (The United Nations Relief and Works Agency
for Palestine Refugees in the Near East) and at Rantisi Hospital in the
city.Samur said he was at Rantisi Hospital for five days and saw “Hamas
operatives who took control of the hospital.”They numbered about 100
and were “organized, with several tents, with each group of operatives
by themselves [in groups] of 4-5,” he said, adding that they “carried
out attacks.”Samur said Hamas and others operated at the hospital “on a
large scale. There were so many of them, it was actually really
scary.”At the Swedish Hospital, he said he saw at least “seven
operatives” dressed is civilian clothing and armed.Samur said the
operatives operated from the hospital and slept there. “It was a secure
place and no one could locate them there.”He said they used the hospital
as a “base of operations, they prepared themselves from within the
hospital, launched units for their missions outside.”The IDF said Unit
504 also had sources in the Gaza Strip that were providing information
that was translated into intelligence for the ground forces operating in
the Palestinian enclave since late last month.“We received thousands of
phone calls from [Palestinians willing to provide information] at a
magnitude never before seen in the unit. It is evident that the
residents of the Gaza Strip are not satisfied with the barbaric behavior
of Hamas. The ordinary citizen understands that Hamas is bringing a
disaster on the residents of Gaza that will be difficult for them to
recover from,” the senior officer adds.As part of the IDF’s efforts to
evacuate Palestinians from northern Gaza during the ground offensive,
Unit 504 made more than 30,000 calls, sent more than 10 million text
messages, and more than nine million recorded messages to Gazan
civilians. The IDF also dropped some four million leaflets warning
Palestinians of the dangers of staying in northern Gaza, it said.The IDF
said the evacuation from northern Gaza allowed it to carry out heavier
strikes and operate more widely in the area against Hamas
infrastructure. Air strikes continued in southern Gaza at the same time,
with only the small al-Mawasi area along the coast declared by the IDF
to be a “safe zone.”Speaking on Monday following an assessment of the
Shin Bet security service’s operations in the southern arena, Defense
Minister Yoav Gallant said: “The action of the Shin Bet in investigating
terrorists caught in the field by the forces, alongside the work of the
Shin Bet coordinators inside the Gaza Strip with the ground forces, is a
crucial element that becomes the eyes through which the forces know
where to go.”“Every fighter who maneuvers in the field understands that…
two important goals are achieved — first, to fight and defeat Hamas, to
harm the terrorists, those who sent them, their senior commanders and
their infrastructure. They also understand very well that in their
actions, they bring about the return of the hostages as soon as
possible,” said the defense minister, adding that the return of the
hostages is a top priority.“It’s right in front of me — the pictures of
the children, the pictures of the families are always at the top of the
list of priorities,” he said.
Houthis publish video of assault on
ship-Houthis say Israeli ships ‘legitimate target,’ as threat to global
shipping grows-Houthi official warns capture of Galaxy Leader, linked
to Israeli businessman, ‘only the beginning’; Yemeni rebels boarded ship
using same method Iran uses to seize vessels-By AFP and ToI Staff 20
November 2023, 6:55 pm 25
Israeli ships are a “legitimate
target,” Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels warned on Monday after their
seizure of an Israel-linked cargo vessel opened a new dimension in
Israel’s war against Hamas.Sunday’s capture of the Galaxy Leader and its
25 international crew members came days after the Iran-backed Houthis
threatened to target Israeli shipping over the Israel-Hamas war.The
Houthis have fired several ballistic missiles and drones at Eilat since
the beginning of the war last month, all of which were intercepted or
missed their targets. One of the surface-to-surface missiles was shot
down by Israel’s most advanced air defense system, the Arrow 3, marking
the system’s first successful interception of a missile.The Houthis have
said they are acting as part of the “axis of resistance” against
Israel, which includes Iran-backed terror groups in Lebanon, Syria, and
Iraq. The Yemeni rebel group’s slogan is “God is great, death to
America, death to Israel, curse on the Jews, victory for Islam.”The
recent attacks are the first entry into a foreign war for the Houthis,
who control much of impoverished Yemen and have been fighting a
Saudi-led coalition since 2015.“Israeli ships are legitimate targets for
us anywhere… and we will not hesitate to take action,” Major General
Ali Al-Moshki, a Houthi military official, told the group’s Al-Massirah
TV station.Analysts also said Houthi threats to shipping around the Bab
al-Mandab Strait, a choke point at the foot of the commercially vital
Red Sea, were likely to rise.The Bahamas-flagged, British-owned Galaxy
Leader is operated by a Japanese firm but has links to Israeli
businessman Abraham “Rami” Ungar.The Houthis said the capture was in
retaliation for Israel’s war against Hamas, which was sparked by Hamas’s
shock October 7 assault on southern Israeli communities, when 3,000
terrorists broke through the border and murdered some 1,200 people, a
majority of them civilians, amid brutal atrocities, and kidnapped some
240 people to Gaza.In response, Israel vowed to eliminate the terror
group in a military campaign that the Hamas-run health ministry says has
killed 13,000 people in Gaza, including thousands of children. Those
figures cannot be independently verified, and do not distinguish between
terror operatives and noncombatants.Sunday’s ship seizure “is only the
beginning,” Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdul-Salam said Sunday in a
statement posted on X, formerly Twitter, pledging further maritime
attacks until Israel halts its Gaza campaign.Iran-style
boarding-Maritime security company Ambrey said it had learned that the
rebels boarded the ship by rappelling or sliding down a rope from a
helicopter — the method used by Iran during previous vessel seizures in
the Strait of Hormuz.The Houthis later published a video of the assault
on the ship.The vessel headed from Turkey to India was re-routed to the
Yemeni port of Salif port in Hodeida province, according to Ambrey and a
Yemeni maritime source.Ambrey said the owner of the Galaxy Leader,
which transports cars and other vehicles, is listed as Britain’s Ray Car
Carriers whose parent company belongs to Ungar, the Israeli
businessman.Israel’s military said the seizure was a “very grave
incident of global consequence,” while a US military official called it
“a flagrant violation of international law.”The crew was reportedly
“under investigation” by the Houthis, Ambrey said. They include
Ukrainians, Bulgarians, Filipinos, Mexicans, and a Romanian, according
to Israeli and Romanian officials.Nippon Yusen, also known as NYK Line
of Japan, said it had set up a task team to gather information and
ensure the crew’s safety.Japanese Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa said
Tokyo was “directly approaching the Houthis” as well as communicating
with Israel.“We are also urging Saudi Arabia, Oman, Iran, and other
countries concerned to strongly urge the Houthis for the early release
of the vessel and crew members,” she said.‘Threat likely to rise’The
office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu characterized the capture as
an “Iranian attack against an international vessel,” an accusation
dismissed by Iran.“We have repeatedly announced that the resistance
groups in the region represent their countries and make decisions and
act based on the interests of their countries,” said Iran’s Foreign
Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani.Yemen’s coastline overlooks the Bab
al-Mandab Strait — a narrow pass between Yemen and Djibouti at the foot
of the Red Sea — which is one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes and
carries about a fifth of global oil consumption.“The threat of
disruption to shipping in the wider region is likely to rise,” Torbjorn
Soltvedt of the risk intelligence firm Verisk Maplecroft told AFP.“If
security concerns compel shipping companies to avoid the Bab al-Mandab
Strait, the result will be significantly higher costs due to the lack of
alternative routes.”Mohammed al-Basha, senior Middle East analyst for
the US-based Navanti Group, said the failure of Houthi missile and drone
launches to hit targets inside Israel “might have influenced the
decision to refocus on the Red Sea arena.”
