plans intentionally targeted elementary schools and a youth center. |
'Top secret' Hamas documents found on the bodies of dead terrorists prove invasion plans intentionally targeted elementary schools and a youth center. One page labeled “Top Secret” outlines a plan of attack for Kfar Sa’ad, saying “Combat unit 1” is directed to “contain the new Da’at school,” while “Combat unit 2” is to “collect hostages,” “search the Bnei Akiva youth center” and “search the old Da’at school.” Another page labeled “Top Secret Maneuver” describes a plan for a Hamas unit to secure the east side of Kfar Sa’ad while a second unit controls the west. It says “kills as many as possible” and “capture hostages.” Other orders include surrounding a dining hall and holding hostages in it. |

Hanegbi: No Negotiations With Hamas for Kidnapped Israelis |
Tzachi Hanegbi, head of Israel's National Security Council, announced on Motzoei Shabbos that there are currently no ongoing negotiations aimed at repatriating the Israelis kidnapped by Hamas last Shabbos. He firmly stated, “Israel will not hold negotiations with an enemy that we have vowed to wipe from the face of the earth.” Hanegbi revealed the Cabinet's primary objective is to remove Hamas, the terrorist organization, from both military and political control over the Gaza Strip. However, he refrained from providing specific details about the next planned steps. In addition, Hanegbi acknowledged that the Israeli government did not fulfill its mission to protect its citizens from the devastating Hamas attack, which resulted in the murder of over 1,300 Israelis, the majority of whom were civilians. Roughly 150-200 Israeli hostages are believed to be held in the Gaza Strip, with the government still lacking comprehensive information on their identities and statuses. Families of the missing Israelis criticized the government for its lack of transparency and failure to initiate contact with them. In response to Hanegbi's statements, a spokesman for the hostages' families expressed disappointment, saying, “We're waiting for clarity from the government.” When questioned about Israel's plans for Gaza's alternative control or a return to Israeli control, Hanegbi refrained from providing explicit details, stating, “We can’t report through you to the enemy on what is coming. We can tell Hamas that it is prohibited for it to be the sovereign in Gaza.” He confirmed that the government approved a plan to “destroy” Hamas during a recent cabinet meeting, ensuring that the terrorist group will not regain political control over Gaza after the war. Addressing the government's responsibility in failing to thwart Hamas and protect Israeli citizens, Hanegbi expressed agreement with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi's acknowledgment that the IDF had failed in its mandate to safeguard citizens. He admitted to mistakes and failures in ensuring citizen safety. Hanegbi revealed that security forces had received an indication just hours before the Hamas attack, but both the IDF and Shin Bet believed it would not lead to the devastation they ultimately experienced. Regarding concerns that Hezbollah might open a full-scale northern front during Israel's ongoing war, Hanegbi disclosed that Israel had delivered messages to discourage the terror group from aligning with its fellow Iran-backed proxy against Israel. He emphasized that Israel's goal is to avoid being embroiled in a two-front war, suggesting that Hezbollah would not invite Lebanon's destruction by entering into conflict with Israel. |

According to Syrian reports, alleged Israeli airstrikes struck the Aleppo International Airport on Motzoei Shabbos. These airstrikes came shortly after two rockets were fired from Syria into Israel, amid rising tensions along Israel's northern border. The reported airstrikes targeted the airport's runway in Aleppo, which had recently undergone repairs following damage from previous alleged Israeli airstrikes that occurred on Thursday. Additionally, the international airport in Damascus was targeted and put out of service on Thursday. On Motzoei Shabbos, two rockets were fired from Syria towards the Golan Heights. Fortunately, the rockets landed in open areas, and no interception measures were required. In response to the rocket fire, the IDF conducted artillery strikes on the source of the attack, as confirmed by the IDF Spokesperson's Unit. Simultaneously, sirens were activated in Alma in the Galilee region, leading to the launch of an interceptor at a “suspicious object” crossing from Lebanon into Israel. This incident is currently under investigation. |
