The men — wearing green headbands, military fatigues and sunglasses — were supported by a braying mob of Palestinians in Gaza City’s Saraya Square as they surrounded the Red Cross vehicles carrying hostages Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher

The harrowing video was broadcast to the world, and offered a glimpse at something the US and others have been warning about: Hamas has not only survived Israel’s invasion and relentless bombing campaign after the Oct. 7, 2023 terror attacks, it is rebuilding.

Israel said that it has killed nearly 70% of Hamas’ terrorists, but the Biden administration warned this month that the group has been able to attract enough new recruits to completely replenish its numbers.

The move was in line with a ruling by Russia’s Supreme Court last November that LGBT activists should be designated as extremists, a move that representatives of gay and transgender people said they feared would lead to arrests and prosecutions.

The list is maintained by an agency called Rosfinmonitoring that has powers to freeze the bank accounts of the more than 14,000 people and entities designated as extremists and terrorists. They range from Al Qaeda to U.S. tech giant Meta and associates of late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

Al Shifa, the Gaza Strip’s biggest hospital before the war, is now one of the few healthcare facilities even partially operational in the north of the territory, and had also been housing displaced civilians.

“Over the past day, the troops have eliminated terrorists and located weapons in the hospital area, while preventing harm to civilians, patients, medical teams, and medical equipment,” the military said in a statement.

Ecuador’s president, Daniel Noboa, said on Wednesday that his country was “at war” with drug gangs who are holding more than 130 prison staff hostage and who briefly captured a TV station live on air, in a wave of violence that has left city streets deserted.

At least 10 people have been killed, including police officers, in the attacks.

In images that went around the world, gunmen stormed a TV station during a live broadcast on Tuesday before being captured by police special forces. Videos on social media showed a gruesome series of other attacks including car bombs, the murder of police officers in the street, the apparent lynching of prison guards and attempted takeovers of hospitals and a university in Guayaquil. The Ecuadorian police confirmed two officers had been killed.

It’s getting to where you can’t even watch anymore.  The scenes they’re showing you, the incidents they are describing are not fit for human consumption.  The “terrorists” committed atrocities reminiscent of the worst we’ve ever heard of.  

They’re mad at us for not supporting Ukraine.  But we’re being invaded by who knows who, and we’re supposed to believe that Ukraine’s problems are worse than our own?  Oh yeah, Putin is a bad man, so…  So we’re supposed to sit and watch our own country invaded by people from all over the world while we get lectured by Zelensky?  You’ve probably seen them lined up at the border.  They love Joe Biden, who apparently invited them.

How can this problem persist?  Even third world nations never allowed a border incursion such as this.  Did you see what happened on the 110 Freeway in California?  They were Jews?  There were many instances where people needed to get somewhere on an emergency basis.  The drivers that need to get somewhere aren’t going to be amused.  They’re liable to take things into their own hands.

Some explosive devices were found with the “immigrants,” on the Mexican side by Mexican authorities.  But with this uncontrolled immigration we can’t escape, there’s going to be trouble.  Let’s just hope it’s not terrorism.

The media is still excited about January 6.  They can’t wait to tell us the latest.  But, you don’t suppose there was government involvement?  It will be interesting to see if any of the mainstream outlets want to tell us about that.  Is the public just being jerked around by the government and their media accomplices?  We hear things all the time, but have learned not to believe everything at first glance.

What is it with all the demonstrations on university campuses and even on California freeways?  Do these people know what they are demonstrating about?  Apparently Chris Cuomo saw some of the most horrendous video, and thinks it should be released for everybody to see.  You can count me out.  You’ve got to be careful.  If somebody is about to launch into some gruesome description of what these terrorists did, I’m turning it off.  Whether “released” or not, they wouldn’t dare show this stuff on TV.  We already know several heartbreaking stories, spare us the video.

Al Gore is ticked off!  Now we’ve got crises that take our attentions away from his angry predictions.  How dare we worry about the logistical situation in Ukraine?  How dare we worry about who’s coming across the border.  It’s almost as if global warming has become an issue of faith.  All the nature shows come with a heavy dose of evolution and global warming.  

Sorry, we’ve got real things to worry about.  

There are two hot wars going on, and several more threatening.  Hopefully those get sorted out before another flares up.  We’ve got another year of embarrassment, maybe worse.

An impeachment inquiry has passed the house.  The embarrassments may just be getting under way.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) released the footage on X Thursday, showing a throng of men walking single-file with their hands up through an area piled high with rubble under the watchful eye of soldiers.

The next portion of the recording shows alleged Hamas terrorists, now with their shirts off, dropping their weapons, including assault-style rifles and ammunition, on the ground.

IDF soldiers from the 460th Combat Brigade of the 162nd Division, along with members of Israel’s security service Shin Bet, carried out the operation to capture 70 terrorists in the Kamal Adwan Hospital near the Israeli border.

Operation Shield and Arrow began about 2:15 a.m. local time with the Israeli Air Force hitting targets in the Palestinian-populated enclave on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea.

Officials said the airstrikes, conducted by some 40 warplanes, had ceased more than four hours after they had began though assets remained in the air to respond to any retaliatory attacks.

Shortly before 8 a.m., security forces had begun an unspecified operation in the Kasbah area of Nablus, a Palestinian city in the occupied West bank, according to a timeline of the operation by the Israeli Defense Forces.

Officials said the strike was a response to rocket attacks that have targeted Israel from Gaza in the past month. Killed were Khalil Bahitini, 44, Tarek Ezzaldin, 49, and Jihad Ghanem, 62.
