Hamas Official: We Will Repeat October 7 Terror Attack Until Israel is Annihilated

November 2, 2023 — Breitbart.com reports: “A senior political official in the Palestinian Hamas terror organization told Lebanese television last week that the group intends to repeat its October 7 terror attack until Israel is annihilated.

The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) translated the interview. In it, Hamas political official Ghazi Hamad says that attacks on Israeli civilians are justified; that the cost in terms of Palestinian ‘martyrs’ is worth the ultimate goal of ending Israel; and that Hamas will continue to mount such attacks…”  (Israel will never be destroyed.  God has declared His love for Israel from its very beginning: And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.  None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, to the lothing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born.  And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live… Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil – Ezekiel 16:4 – 6; 9.  Deuteronomy 7:6-8 states: For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.  The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:  But because the Lord loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.  Despite the rantings and ravings of the world: …let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance – Psalm 83:4, God has promised: …I will give them [Israel] an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off – Isaiah 56:5.)

Hamas planned to push October 7 massacre to the West Bank border – report

November 13, 2023 — The Jerusalem Post reports: “Hamas’s original plan for October 7 went beyond just a massacre in the Gaza border area and taking hundreds of hostages, but to continue their assault up to the border with the West Bank, The Washington Post reported Sunday, citing Western and Middle Eastern security officials briefed on collected evidence.

This information was obtained from numerous maps, notes, supplies, and other written instructions found among the bodies of dead Hamas terrorists in the Gaza border area, as well as from interrogations of Hamas captives.

“We know from interrogations that Hamas came in with detailed plans of their attack, including which commander should rape which soldiers in different places,” Defense Minister Yoav Gallant explained to The Washington Post, though the quote has since been removed from the original report…”  (Genesis 15:18 states: In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates  and in Joshua 1:4 we read: From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.  These verses encompass all of the land modern Israel currently possesses, plus all of the land of the Palestinians (the West Bank and Gaza), plus some of Egypt and Syria, plus all of Jordan, plus some of Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Israel currently possesses only a fraction of the land God has promised.) 

Hamas Leaders to NY Times: No Interest in Helping Palestinians in Gaza, Want ‘Permanent’ War Against Israel

November 9, 2023 — Breitbart.com reports: “Hamas leaders told the New York Times on Wednesday that they had no interest in governing Gaza and instead wanted to create a ‘permanent’ state of war against Israel that, in their minds, would mobilize Arab support and keep the Palestinian cause alive…

The Times presented several Hamas complaints about Israel in euphemistic terms, as if they were accurate or legitimate. For example, it describes Jews trying to pray on the Temple Mount as ‘Jews openly praying at a contested site customarily reserved for Muslims,’ without mentioning that it is also the holiest site in Judaism. The Times also cites ‘the Israeli police storming the Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem,’ without noting that they only did so because Hamas and other groups stockpiled weapons there…”  (What does Almighty God have to say about Israel’s future?  Thus saith the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the Lord that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.  Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages – Isaiah 49:7,8)

Hezbollah: Mass Murder of Israelis by Hamas ‘Great and Marvelous’

November 9, 2023 — Breitbart.com reports: “Hezbollah Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem told a Lebanese TV interviewer on Tuesday that the Hamas atrocities of October 7, in which over 1,400 Israeli civilians were raped, tortured, murdered, and abducted, was a ‘great and marvelous’ operation that demonstrated the ‘courage, audacity, and righteousness’ of the Palestinian people.

Qassem described the atrocities, which Hamas and its supporters call ‘Operation Al-Aqsa Storm,’ as an ‘exceptional operation which is unprecedented since the establishment of the Zionist regime.’

‘It planted the seeds which would lead to the regression and downfall of the regime, since it uncovered that the Israeli security capabilities are extremely weak. The Israeli army is very weak. And the politicians know nothing and cannot envision the future,’ he said.

Qassem said all branches of the anti-Israel, anti-U.S. ‘resistance’ across the Middle East should take inspiration from the ‘great success’ of the 10/7 attack, and called on all of them to support Hamas…”  (Larry Miller, a humorist, tells of visiting several hospitals in Israel in in 2001 – 2002 where he met several victims of terror attacks.  He wrote: “Downstairs, before we left, the head of the hospital, an Israeli named Audrey, was showing me the children’s waiting room. I couldn’t help but notice, all around, an Arab woman with her son, an Arab family over there checking in, Arab children playing with the toys while waiting. The doctor saw the look on my face and laughed. “Oh, yes, we treat everyone.” I guess I was astonished. She just shrugged. “We’re Jews. This is how we live. It’s also for the future. They’re not going anywhere, and we’re not going anywhere. There will eventually be peace. There has to be.” When? A month? A year? A hundred years? More? She didn’t know. I had to say it. You’re incredible. You take everyone, you treat everyone, no one goes first, no one goes last, you just go in order of who needs help. That’s, like, Mother Teresa stuff. “We’re not saints, we’re just doing our jobs. It’s not easy, I admit. And it gets hard when they cheer when the [Jewish] bodies are brought in.” I looked at her. What did you say? She sighed. “Yes, it gets hard when they cheer.” This was one of the times during my trip when I held up my hands and said, “Stop. Wait.” I turned and walked away to breathe deeply for a minute… I didn’t meet one Jew the whole trip who didn’t think there would be peace, not one. “We can work it out. We have to. They’re not going anywhere. Neither are we.  Of course, it gets hard when they cheer.”  I guess it does.  See the next two reports.) 

Palestinian minister: Hamas’s October 7 massacre of Israelis ‘heroic’

November 27, 2023 — The Jerusalem Post reports: “Jabril Rajoub, Secretary of Fatah’s Central Committee, praised Hamas’s October 7 massacre in Israel’s South during a press conference in Kuwait earlier this month, a local newspaper reported in Arabic.

Rajoub called the attack – during which thousands of Hamas terrorists invaded southern Israel, shooting, raping, burning, and beheading about 1,200 people – ‘an earthquake, an unprecedented event,’ portraying it as a defensive action against Israeli ‘aggression’ – which includes Israel’s response to it. 

Rajoub said that Hamas’s attack, part of a ‘defensive war full of epics and heroics that the Palestinian people have been fighting for 75 years,’ thwarted a plan ‘by the Israeli Right’ to integrate the country into the larger Middle East without the Palestinian issue on the agenda…”

Palestinian Authority claims Israel, not Hamas, committed Re’im massacre

November 20, 2023 — The Jerusalem Post reports: “The Palestinian Authority’s Finance Ministry put out a statement on Sunday, denying that the terrorist group Hamas was responsible for at least 350 partygoers slain at the Re’im music festival massacre.

The statement says that ‘preliminary Israeli police investigations’ showed that Israeli claims in the media were false, and that this was then used by ‘the occupation to justify its aggression against Gaza…’ 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded later that day, ‘Today, the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah said something utterly preposterous. It denied that it was Hamas that carried out the horrible massacre at the nature festival near Gaza. It accused Israel of carrying out that massacre. This is a complete reversal of the truth.’

‘Abu Mazen, who in the past has denied the existence of the Holocaust, today is denying the existence of the Hamas massacre and that’s unacceptable.’…”

Netanyahu to CBS: We’re trying to wipe out Hamas with minimal civilian casualties

November 17, 2023 — Israel National News reports: “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told CBS News’ Norah O’Donnell, in an interview which aired on Thursday, that a deal to secure the release of some hostages held by Hamas is closer than before.

The proposal would see Hamas release some of the women and children hostages in exchange for a ceasefire that would last between three and five days.

Asked about the proposed deal and how close Israel is to securing the release of hostages, Netanyahu replied, ‘We’re closer than we were before we began the ground action’ and added the ground operation has ‘put pressure on Hamas to achieve a ceasefire.’

‘We’ll have a temporary cease-fire if we can get our hostages back,’ Netanyahu told O’Donnell, adding, ‘I don’t think it serves that purpose for me to elaborate further on that.’

Netanyahu also insisted Israel is trying to wipe out Hamas ‘with minimal civilian casualties’ and clarified Israel is ‘not seeking to occupy’ Gaza…”  (Benjamin Netanyahu has stated: “If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence.  If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel.” 

Israel does all that it can to protect civilians – Hamas uses civilians to protect their missiles; placing them next to schools and in residential neighborhoods.  See the next report.)

EU condemns Hamas for using civilians as human shields

November 13, 2023 — Israel National News reports: “The European Union (EU) on Sunday condemned Hamas for using ‘hospitals and civilians as human shields’ in Gaza, but also urged Israel to show ‘maximum restraint’ to protect civilians from the war it is waging against Hamas.

‘The EU is gravely concerned about the deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza,’ EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said in a statement.

‘The EU joins calls for immediate pauses in hostilities and the establishment of humanitarian corridors, including through increased capacity at border crossings and through a dedicated maritime route, so that humanitarian aid can safely reach the population of Gaza,’ he added.

Borrell further said that ‘the EU re-emphasizes Israel’s right to defend itself in line with international law and international humanitarian law. The EU calls for continued, rapid, safe and unhindered humanitarian access and aid to reach those in need through all necessary measures including humanitarian corridors and pauses for humanitarian needs. In this regard, we welcome the results of the November 9 humanitarian conference held in Paris.’

‘The EU reiterates its call on Hamas for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages. It is crucial that the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is granted access to the hostages,’ continued the statement…”

Rockets inside a girl’s bed: IDF reveals more evidence of Hamas’ use of civilians

November 16, 2023 — Israel National News reports: “Rockets were found inside a bed in the children’s bedroom inside the house of a Hamas terrorist during operational activity carried out by the troops of the 551st Brigade. The terrorist was a part of a Hamas terrorist cell in Beit Hanoun.

During the operational activity, the troops uncovered a significant amount of weapons, including rockets, explosive devices, and dozens of kilos of explosives.

The weapons were subsequently destroyed by the forces.

In addition, the IDF discloses a recorded conversation between two Islamic Jihad terrorists, in which the terrorists describe how weapons are transferred inside baby strollers…”  (How barbaric to use children in such a manner.  In a statement attributed to Golda Meir, she once said: “We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children.  We cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children.  We will only have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us.”  Read the following passages to see what the Bible says about children.  “…children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward”- Psalms 127:3.     “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it” – Proverbs 22:6.    “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:  And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.  And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:  And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up” – Deuteronomy 6:4 – 7.  “…all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children” – Isaiah 54:13.  Matthew 18:2 – 6 states: “And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little cildren, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.  Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.  And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.   But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.”   See the next report.)

Hamas tunnels, weapons found near amusement park and university

November 8, 2023 — The Jerusalem Post reports: “Tunnels and weapons warehouses used by Hamas were found near an amusement park and a university in the Gaza Strip during the IDF’s ongoing operations in the coastal enclave, the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit revealed on Tuesday.

The Paratrooper Brigade found a tunnel opening near an amusement park in the Strip. The opening was destroyed by the IDF.

Maj. Roi, a commander in Sayeret Tzanhanim, stated ‘we found a logistic tunnel. The tunnels didn’t pass over this area. We blew it up now, the opening has been destroyed and we intend to do this in every place we get to.’

The Paratrooper Brigade and the 7th Brigade also found a tunnel opening and a weapons warehouse near a university, uncovering chemicals, RPGs, and explosives, among other objects…”

Netanyahu: We’ll defy the world if needed to defeat Hamas; PA can’t run Gaza after war

November 14, 2023 — The Times of Israel reports: “The leaders in charge of directing Israel’s war in Gaza vowed Saturday to soldier on with the grinding military offensive aimed at vanquishing the Hamas terror group, pushing back at international pressure to slow down or halt it, and pledging to ‘stand firm against the world if necessary.’

In a joint press conference, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Minister Benny Gantz rejected mounting international criticism over the civilian costs of the war, urging Western leaders to throw their support behind the Jewish state since its victory would mean victory for the entire free world as well.

Netanyahu slammed French President Emmanuel Macron over remarks he made castigating Israel a day earlier. He also indicated that Israel would oppose the return of the Palestinian Authority to Gaza following the war — a goal declaredly sought by Washington — lambasting it as an entity that educates children to want to eliminate Israel, supports terrorism and hasn’t condemned Hamas’s October 7 massacres, which sparked the ongoing war. And he said Israel would retain overall security control in the enclave.

The pushback came after several countries over the weekend expressed concern over the deteriorating humanitarian situation and the civilian casualties in the Strip…”  (Prime Minister Netanyahu is correct.  Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?  The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.  He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.  Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.  Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.  I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.  Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.  Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.  Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.  Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him – Psalm 2:1-12.  See the next three reports.)

Southern Command official: ‘We are preparing to continue attacking once the pause is over’

November 24, 2023 — Israel National News reports: “The Commanding Officer of the IDF Southern Command, Maj. Gen. Yaron Finkelman held a situational assessment on Thursday with the combat forces in the Gaza Strip, during which he briefed the troops and approved the plans for the operational alignment on the ceasefire line.

A senior official in the Southern Command warned: ‘Anything that constitutes a threat to our troops will be struck. Our forces’ security is the top priority; that is how we acted, and that is how we will continue to act.’

He added: ‘The maneuver and the operational achievements put pressure on Hamas and its leadership and served as a vital tool to create the conditions to execute the deal to bring back some of the hostages.’

‘We will take advantage of the majority of the time for preparation and planning the missions that lay ahead of us once the respite is over. We are preparing to continue attacking with all our might immediately once the respite ends’…”

Israeli PM Netanyahu warns America: ‘If we don’t win now, then Europe is next and you’re next’

November 14, 2023 — FoxNews.com reports: “Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered a dire warning to America that it may be ‘next’ if the IDF doesn’t decimate Hamas during an interview with FOX News’ Sean Hannity. 

‘We have to win not only for our sake, but for the sake of the Middle East, for the sake of our Arab neighbors. You know what, for the sake of Gazans who’ve been held by this dark tyranny that has brutalized and brought them nothing but bloodshed and poverty and misery,’ Netanyahu said Monday. ‘We have to win to protect Israel. We have to win to safeguard the Middle East. We have to win for the sake of the civilized world. That’s the battle we’re fighting, and it’s being waged right now. There is no substitute for that victory.’

‘If we don’t win now, then Europe is next and you’re next. And we have to win,’ he later added…”

Son of Hamas co-founder: ‘If Hamas is not destroyed, the rest of the world is next’

November 22, 2023 — Israel National News reports: “Mosab Hassan Yousef, known as the Green Prince, the son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef, addressed UN officials and ambassadors as part of an event during which the unedited footage of the October 7th massacre was screened.

‘This crime cannot be forgiven. None of us should forgive this crime. Gambling with children’s blood for political gain – it doesn’t get worse than this. So Israel now got stained by blood. This is what Hamas wanted from day one,’ he opened.

‘They wanted to sacrifice thousands of children so Israel could take the blame. Digging tunnels and bunkers under hospitals and schools, launching missiles. A Hamas misfire, how many people were killed at the hospital, and they went so fast to blame Israel, and the rest of the world listened to them. Nobody’s concerned to check what is true and what is false. ‘Whatever serves our political and short-term interests, we go for it,’‘ Yousef explained.

He declared: ‘If Hamas is not defeated, if Hamas is not eradicated in Gaza, we will set the model, we will give the freedom to so many radical groups around the world, and this is just a warning. If you really care for global security, and I speak as a person who was part of the counter-terrorism effort against radical Islamists, if Hamas is not defeated in Gaza, it will inspire many groups around the globe. They will see that a few thousand savages can blackmail the international community and the superpowers and bring democracies to their knees’…”
