This is an areal view of the loading and unloading area of the JLOTS.
Here too, just like the Gazan side of Kerem Shalom pallets of aid are waiting to be picked up and distributed by the @UN aid agencies for days.
We've said it before, the UN needs to scale up.
A great week indeed and more great weeks for Womens golf ahead!!

What disappoints me most today is the media.
Respected journalists are acting like keyboard warriors and have no professional integrity.
Some Israelis oppose entering Rafah.
Some took to the streets to protest against it.
However, what Hamas did last night is manipulation, and for some reason, you're ignoring that.
Hamas told the world they agreed to a ceasefire, but conveniently left out that this offer was never presented to Israel!
Israel, still having over 100 hostages in Gaza who haven't been visited by the @ICRC even once, has grown tired of these games.
I'm not happy about the decision to enter Rafah, nor about the potential for more bloodshed. But when journalists simply ignore the fact that 133 hostages, including a baby and a toddler, remain there, and disregard the trauma and pain in Israeli society, they dehumanize us as a whole.
I simply ask this: don't cover the rise of antisemitism if you're going to dehumanize Jews yourselves. Take a good look at yourselves in the mirror and ask how you, as journalists, can do better.

Aid is in Gaza waiting to be distributed.
Where is the @UN?
This is the content of 500 trucks of humanitarian aid on the Gazan side of Kerem Shalom, AFTER Israeli inspection, waiting to be picked up and distributed by @UN orgs.
It is the 3rd day in a row that hundreds of trucks are not picked up. The UN needs to scale up their operations

Thank you @SenTedCruz for standing with our ally Israel as it faces this outrageous and baseless accusation of genocide.

In 628AD, the Prophet Muhammad attacked a Jewish tribe at Khaybar. The chief of Khaybar was killed on Muhammad's orders while his daughter's husband, Kenana, was tortured on Muhammad's orders to extract information regarding the tribe's treasury.
According to Tabari, Muhammad's exact words were:
"Torture him until you root out and extract what he has." According to Ibn Hisham, Muhammad said "Torture him until you extract what he has." Al-Tabari, Vol. 8, p. 122
Kenana stood steadfast and did not reveal any information to the bandits so upon Muhammad's orders, Zubayr "kindled a fire with flint and steel on his chest until he was nearly dead. Then the apostle delivered him to Muhammad b. Maslama and he struck off his head, in revenge for his brother Mahmud." Ref. The Life of Muhammad 145-146
As always, the women were distributed among Muhammad's men as sex slaves. The most beautiful woman of the tribe was Safiyya, who also happened to be the chief's daughter. She was given to Dihya Al-Kalbi until the prophet heard of her beauty. The prophet was so turned on by her beauty that he ordered Dihya to pick someone else and leave her to him.
Some sources say the prophet slept with her the same night, while some other sources say he slept with her after three days. In one story, a soldier stood outside of the prophet's tent keeping watch over Safiyyah. When Muhammad saw him the next morning and asked why he was standing there, he said: 'You just killed her father, husband, and brother, so I did not trust her (not to harm) you.'
The great prophet laughed and said, 'Good.'
In another narration, Safiyyah and her sister were brought to Muhammad by his adopted son Zayed. One of the sisters started screaming hysterically after seeing the dead bodies of her tribesmen. Instead of showing empathy, the great prophet called her a 'she-devil' and kicked her out. Poor Safiyyah maintained her composure but ended up getting raped by the murderer of her father, brother, and husband. Ref. Tabari Vol 8, Page 185.
Safiyyah's sacrifice would not go in vain as another Jewess would poison Muhammad and he would die a painful death some 5 years later. According to Muhammad, he felt as if "someone has cut off my aorta". (Ref. Dawuud 4512)
This is the character of the "world's greatest man" who would kill people during the day and then sleep with their female family members at night.

Hamas dug a terror tunnel wider than the Northern Line, nearly as deep as Hampstead Tube Station, and as long as Camden Town to Waterloo stretch.
Gaza’s problem has never been resources, but its leaders’ priorities. And they prioritized the October 7 Massacre.

It was 2 am and IDF soldiers noticed some suspicious movements in the horizon. In a time of war, that would generally mean to open fire. But the IDF, being the IDF, waited and then noticed it was a kid, a 4 year old girl.
She was walking around aimlessly without shoes and with multiple wounds.
The IDF soldiers took her to the field doctor, they treated her wounds and helped her in every way they could.
After they treated her, they brought her to the humanitarian corridor so they can try to locate her family and care for her.
Turns out, the child was sent by Hamas into the heart of a war zone to see if the Israeli soldiers were up and alert.
Their cruelty knows no bounds.
Why don’t you see this story in the press? Good question.
If there was ever a story that illustrates the endlessly savage nature of Hamas and the deeply compassionate nature of the IDF, this is it. 🇮🇱❤️💪

A mother writes:
"This is my son Tomer Nagar, a hero of Israel. Tomer refused to leave his position during October 7 terror attack. He fired 650 bullets and eliminated dozens of terrorists all by himself and sacrificed his life to prevent an infiltration of terrorists to his military base. His friends testified that he saved the whole base. A heroic story. Please share the story of my hero son”

Big day tomorrow for the official opening of @CabotSaintLucia. Stunning doesn’t really begin to describe it. Course has some teeth in places, some give in others, and it’s a blast to send balls over the salt water and cliffs. @golfweek – at Saint Lucia

💔 This morning a DJ played music at the site of the Supernova festival in Re’im, southern Israel, where 364 innocent Israelis civilians were slaughtered while celebrating life.
Today’s festival had no physical attendees, just their 364 living memories.

Ahmad Manasra was one of the Palestinian teenagers released by Israel today in exchange for Israeli hostages
Seeing the video of him hugging his mother, many pro-Palestinian people claimed Israel arrests innocent kids
He & his cousin stabbed random 13 y/o and 21 y/o Jews

Every possible route Hamas terrorists could have taken the hostages into Gaza would have passed through at least 5 other hospitals before reaching Shifa Hospital.
They didn't take them there for "medical treatment"; they brought them specifically to Shifa because it's their headquarters.

⚠️ New footage from October 7 shows Hamas terrorists executing two Israeli women near Kibbutz Alumim.
Partygoers had arrived in the area after fleeing Hamas's attack on the rave near Re'im. The clip shows the terrorists surprising the Israelis after arriving from within Alumim.
The partygoers try to flee, but the terrorists catch up to some of them. One woman is seen executed by a Hamas terrorist, while a second woman crouches on the ground in fear.
The terrorist shoots over the woman at other people fleeing, before executing her as well.
Thanks for this Ron - silence isn’t an option Note that the Germans were remorseful and Hamas expresses glee. A sad and stark contrast. Never again.
