Tel Aviv this morning: “Empty Beds,” an installation which symbolizes the Israeli hostages held in Gaza since October 7 massacre by #Hamas. The bed installation was set up by Bring Them Home Now, a volunteer organization supporting the families of the hostages and the missing, with help from art students at the nearby Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design. #BringThemHome #BringThemHomeNow

Al Jazeera’s latest “comedy show” mocks the 1,200 + Israeli men, women, and children murdered by Hamas on October 7. In case you’re wondering why @AJEnglish is not welcome in Israel, we have 1,200+ reasons why. Disgusting. 📸 @EFischberger

Yazidi survivor Nadia Murad: “I was raped every day for 6 months. They killed my mother for being too old to be a sex slave. They killed all my brothers for refusing to convert to Islam. They call us devil worshippers.” The Islamists who did this are the real devil worshippers!
Of the more than 6,000 Yazidis captured by ISIS in Iraq in 2014, roughly 3,500 have been rescued or freed in the years since. However, Iraqi officials estimate some 2,600 are still missing, with many feared dead. Read more: nypost.com/2024/10/03/world-…

Hezbollah tunnels cut into mountains. For all those that say the @IDF hasn't allowed any international journalists @TreyYingst has been covering the war from the frontline in Gaza (multiple trips in) and now Lebanon since October 7.

In an operation coordinated by the IDF and led by @cogatonline @USEmbassyJLM and other international actors, Fawzia Amin Sido was freed from captivity and returned home to Iraq. At 11-years-old, Fawzia was trafficked by ISIS to a Hamas terrorist in Gaza, who was presumably killed during IDF strikes. She fled to a hideout in which she was rescued in a secret mission through the Kerem Shalom Crossing. This is further proof of the connection between Hamas and ISIS, as well as the crimes against humanity committed by the terrorist organization in Gaza. We will continue to act to dismantle the Hamas-ISIS terrorist organization and free all hostages in Hamas captivity.

𝐓𝐰𝐨 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫: Iran's Ayatollah Khamenei has a new puppet - Masoud Pezeshkian, the so-called "moderate" president - who just met with Hamas leadership in Qatar today. As we approach the one-year anniversary of October 7th, remember that for years, Iran has supported, financed, and directed the terror activities of its proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.

The Israeli security forces eliminated terrorist Aziz Salha, who took part in the Ramallah lynching in Oct. 2000, in the area of Deir El Balah in central Gaza. Salha was photographed with blood on his hands waving from a window following the lynching. Salha took part in the brutal lynching of Sergeant First Class (Res.) Yosef Avrahami and Corporal (Res.) Vadim Norzhich in Ramallah in 2000. Salha was involved in terrorist activity in Judea and Samaria and remained involved in Hamas terrorist activities. Source: @IDF

‼️ فوزية، فتاة يزيدية اختطفها داعش من العراق وأحضرت إلى غزة وهي في الحادية عشرة من عمرها فقط، تم إنقاذها أخيرًا على يد القوات الأمنية الإسرائيلية. تم احتجازها لسنوات على يد أحد أعضاء حماس-داعش الفلسطيني. وقد تم لم شملها الآن مع عائلتها. قصتها تذكرنا بالوحشية التي واجهها الأطفال اليزيديون، الذين تم اختطافهم دون اختيار. تذكروا، لا يزال هناك 101 إسرائيلي محتجزين كرهائن في غزة.‼️
Fawzia, a Yazidi girl kidnapped by ISIS from Iraq and brought to Gaza at just 11 years old, has finally been rescued by the Israeli security forces. For years, she was held captive by a Palestinian Hamas-ISIS member. She has now been reunited with her family. Her story is a reminder of the brutality faced by Yazidi children, taken without a choice. Remember, there are still 101 Israelis being held hostage in Gaza. #Yazidi #Hamas #ISIS #Gaza

These words by @DouglasKMurray perfectly capture the past year we've all experienced in Israel—both the challenges and the resilience—so eloquently and beautifully.

Tonight, millions in the United States, Israel, and around the world will celebrate Rosh Hashanah. This year’s holidays come at a time of conflict and remembrance of painful losses. But I know that even with heavy hearts, the Jewish people have unbreakable spirits. During this time of reflection, may you be uplifted by the hope a new year brings. Shana Tovah U’Metukah.

What should have been obvious from your statement yesterday @antonioguterres ? Why didn’t you condemn Iran explicitly yesterday after its unprecedented attack on Israel ? It wasn’t the first time you didn’t condemn this brutal regime. It’s called in plain language : “ too little too late” and lack of moral clarity.
"As I did in relation to the Iranian attack in April -- and as should have been obvious yesterday in the context of the condemnation I expressed -- I again strongly condemn yesterday’s massive missile attack by Iran on Israel." - @antonioguterres on situation in the #MiddleEast

This year has been one of the hardest in Israel’s history, but through the darkness, we’ve seen light. We pray for healing, peace, and return of the Bibas family and all hostages. This Rosh Hashana, the empty table of Ariel & Kfir Bibas reminds us of the pain, but also of hope.
