In yet more challenges for Israel, a controversy was created when an American tourist carried out a stabbing attack in Tel Aviv yesterday. The American injured an IOF soldier who had reportedly already lost a limb participating in the genocide in Gaza.
This lack of internal safety and increasing mistrust of dwindling Western visitors is spurring investigations on how to prevent these sorts of attacks in the future.
I wonder if stopping the genocide will be considered? 🤔
Today Hamas and Yemen's Houthis announced the release of the crew of the Galaxy Leader. Hamas previously promised to have the crew released once a ceasefire could be reached in Gaza.
Today they made good on that promise.
The crew was made up of 25 Filipinos, Mexicans, Romanians, Bulgarians and Ukrainians who were all returned home by the Houthis once Hamas requested their release.
Attached: 1 video Yemen forces today released the crew of the Galaxy Leader vessel which was captured by Houthi forces last yr for enabling the genocidal state of Israel. The captive crew appeared to be in good health and spirits at the time of their release, unlike Palestinians held by Israeli forces. The Houthis held a ceremony to present the crew with souvenirs from Yemen and respectfully shock everyone man's hand and helped return them to their respective countries. #Yemen #Houthis #HouthiNavy #GalaxyLeader
Hamas in a statement released on Wednesday condemned the collaboration of the Palestianian Auhtorities with Israeli forces in the deadly attacks on Jenin.
Hamas decried the siege on Al-Razi Hospital and specifically called it a crime against the nation of Palestine when IOF forces carried out a shooting in the hospital while Palestinian Authority cops protected the occupation soldiers.

استنكرت حركة المقاومة الإسلامية حماس بأشد العبارات، تواصل نزيف الدم الفلسطيني على يد أجهزة السلطة في الضفة الغربية، والتي كان آخرها إصابة الشاب محمد شادي الصباغ من مخيم جنين، إلى جانب محاصرة مستشفى الرازي وملاحقة المقاومين، واعتقال المصابين، في سلوك يتجاوز كل الخطوط الحمراء والأخلاق الوطنية. وأكدت الحركة في تصريح صحفي اليوم الأربعاء، أن مشاهد […]
In an extremely embarrassing development for Israel Hussein Fayyad(aka Abu Hamza), commander of the Al-Qassam Brigade's Beit Hanoun battalion, was seen alive and well in Gaza giving a speech on Wednesday at a funeral.
The Israelis had believed and widely reported they killed Abu Hamza in May of last year so this is a shocking turn of events.
In his remarks Hamza spoke about the meaning of victory and describes the current situation as a defeat of the IOF.
Police in the Gaza strip announced the reactivation of police stations throughout the territory. They have staffed up the police forces and will be actively manning stations to respond to security incidents and other emergencies.
Imo Hamas is doing everything they can to very visible demonstrate that the organization is a functioning popular government. The fact uniformed Hamas police can walk the streets unmolested by the IOF is a defeat for Israels stated goals in Gaza.
As reporters make their way back to Gazas north they find disturbing evidence of Israel's mass arrest of the civilian population.
In places the clothing of hundreds of people lay in neat rows, discarded at gun point during an IOF stripped and searched before a forced march.
The emaciated reporter recounts how these strip searches were conducted.
After only 2 days of ceasefire Palestinian first responders in Gaza have found hundreds of skeletal remains under the rubble in newly accessible areas.
On the 24th reports emerged of multiple instances of deliberate IOF targeting of civilians around Rafah in the Southern Gaza Strip. Palestinians documented 20 victims of these apparent Israeli breaches of the ceasefire deal.
Reports of civilian deaths at the hands of IOF in Rafah have continued to come out with the most recent I've seen just 4 hours ago.
Israel isn't only demolishing buildings and shooting random civilians, all in violation of the ceasefire deal.
Even today they are still restricting Gazans from crossing through "Netzarim" checkpoint. The Israeli's are demanding additional concessions in the next steps of swapping captives.
The Netzarim corridor is the still occupied diving area that splits the Gaza strip in half, allowing the IOF to control north-south movement.
More one the ground reporting, right from Palestinians on the ground at Netzarim checkpoint.

Despite all of these ceasefire violations, Hamas none the less returned their second batch of PoWs on the 25th as promised.
All four of the recently returned Israeli women are IOF soldiers.
As has become a common sight, hundreds of Al Qassam Brigades troops paraded through to streets to extremely positive civilians. The PoWs were returned in good health and hygiene all with ceremonial pomp.
In exchange Israel relaesed dozens of long term hostages.
Among them, Muhammad Al-Tous, who was abducted by Israelis 40 years ago as a child!
They kept him in prison for 39 years, he's the longest held Palestinian prisoner.
He and dozens of others were deported to Egypt instead of returned home in Palestine simply because Israel is hellbent on making Palestinians stateless.
A total of 200 Palestinians were released on the 25th.
#Israel #Egypt #Palestine #FreeGaza #MuhammadAlTous #GazaDeal
The next planned part of this PoW / hostage swap is the re-opening of North-South travel in the Gaza Strip.
So now we wait to see if Israel stops shooting at people who gather to cross.
In this video civilians filmed the crack of Israeli sniper bullets flying passed them on the same day as the prisoner swap.
So that there's no mistake.
Hamas returned 4 Israeli soldiers who were captured on 10/7 from their military outpost at Nahal Oz army base.
Liri Albag even had TikTok's bopping in uniform at the base.
These were not innoccent little girls, as the Israeli press is pushing. These were the guards at the gates and they were returned with the utmost respect.
Meanwhile Israel returned emaciated, abused elders held captive since childhood.
In other news President Trump says he'll be shipping 2,000 lb bombs to Israel. These shipments were briefly paused in the final weeks of the Biden administration.
Israeli officials continue to sabor rattle about breaking the ceasefire or simply started the genocide anew once it's completed.
But evidence really points to Israel doing whatever they want.
In Lebanon Israel was schedule to withdraw today, but instead decided they won't leave.
More on Lebanon 👇🏿
Attached: 1 video In Lebanon the 60day ceasefire deal has expired and Israel was expected to leave Southern Lebanon on Sunday. So far Israel has refused to said they simply won't comply and their troops have been facing heaving protests. As is becoming common place when Israel refuses to comply with these ceasefire deals they also injured civilians and continued demolishing homes. #Lebanon
It's disappointing to hear the US again providing material support for Israel, but this is something the resistance has clearly planned for.
In the case of Yemen, they stopped their blockade of US and British ships in the Red Sea as part of the #GazaDeal. They specifically won't stop blocking ships who deal directly with Israel until the ceasefire is fully completed.
Yemen reserved the right to resume broader blockades due to breaches.
Today marks another prisoner exchange in the #GazaDeal.
As has become almost routine Hamas' Al Qassam Brigade's soldiers led a IOF soldier Agam Berger to be handed over to the Red Cross. A total of 3 Israelis were released by Hamas.
As is typical Hamas held a formal ceremony releasing their PoW who clearly has been cared for and was returned in good health despite the scene of an utterly bombed out Jabalia camp surrounding the press conference.
In addition to the freed Israelis, Hamas also released 5 Thai migrant workers who were mistakenly captured on Oct 7th.
These five workers were not part of the Gaza Deal, Hamas said they simply waited until it was safe to release them.
One Thai worker can be seen in the clip below taking selfies with Palestinian freedom fighters and even is allowed to pose holding a fighters rifle.
Iconic af
And if you've been watching these Hamas PoW release ceremonies carefully, there's an unmistakable presence of Israeli military gear in use by Gaza's Freedom fighters.
Hamas prominently deployed troops equipped with Israeli Tavor and Galil submachine guns along side troops equipped with American M16 & AR15 variants. Some even equipped with silencers and advanced sight optics.
Meanwhile the Israelis prepared for doing their part of the prisoner swap as they always have...
They started the day by raiding the homes of Palestinians in the West Bank and occupied territories whose relatives would be released later in the day.
Israel has banned celebrating releases. In this video IOF troops can be see breaking the chairs in a home's courtyard that had been setup for a private reception of a soon to be released Palestinian child prisoner Ahmed Al-Froukh.
As the Israeli buses full of child prisoners and people held without charge made their way to Palestinian neighborhoods Israeli troops opened fire on anyone who gathered to great the released prisoners.
Israel appears determined to injure or arrest just as many Palestinians as they release each time their is a swap.
Among the Palestinians freed today was Mohammed Ghali, leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
He spoke tonight in Gaza saying:
“Long live the resistance, and here it is and it has not ended, and we left with our heads held high. The occupation tortured us until the last hour and could not understand that we left thanks to the resistance and its decision.
Long live the resistance! Long live Palestine free and Arab!”
In large part Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza turnedout in crushing numbers to celebrate the release of prisoners.
They largely view the Gaza Deal as a triumph of Hamas, who despite over a year of genocidal attacks from Israel not only kept their own troops and PoWs alive but also never turned their back on civilians imprisoned by Israel.
The fact that Hamas secured the release of so many average Palestinian civilians means these releases touch the lives of many.
In other news the situation in the West Bank remains extremely dangerous. Israel has been shifting its genocide to the West Bank. In the last two days an 11 year old boy was seen on video shot by an IOF sniper while I played on the sidewalk in Tulkarm. He's in critical condition.
Earlier in the week Israeli soldiers were shooting randomly into West Bank homes and murdered a two year old girl.
The news from the West Bank is such a mixed bag this week.
In another story of a released West Bank Palestinian, this father spent 20years in Israeli prison. He was abducted by the IOF while his wife was 5 months pregnant and he'd never gotten to meet his son until this week. His son is now a man and the two cried in each others arms at their first reunion this week.
It's wonderful to see all of the released prisonders but the reality remains that the genocide is on going and it's now most active in the West Bank and Lebanon.
This video below is from Jenin in the West Bank from a day or two ago. This can't be acceptable or normalized.
Another update from Gaza is that Hamas provided an updated list of high profile martyrs:
1- Chief of Staff of Al-Qassam Brigades Mohammed Deif
2- Deputy Chief of Staff of Al-Qassam Brigades Marwan Issa
3- Ghazi Tama'a (Commander of the Weapons Section)
4- Raed Thabet (Commander of the Human Resources Section)
5- Rafeh Salama (Commander of the Khan Younis Brigade)
Previously announced:
6- Ayman Nofal (Commander of the Central Brigade)
7- Ahmed Al-Ghandour (Commander of the Northern Brigade)
So far after each prisoner swap Hamas has been casually slipping in videos of commanders and politicians whom the IOF said were killed but appear to have survived.
Today's official release of high profile Hamas militants further denies Israel the ability to control the narrative on these deaths and others.
Yesterday the 4th swap of prisoners took place as part of the Gaza Deal.
A recently release Israeli who was held prisoner by Hamas was asked by reporters why she went out of her way to shake the hands of Al Qassam Brigade's fighters during her relase.
She says its because they treated the captives so well.
At the same time Palestinians released the same by Israel report being shackled, blindfolded, assaulted and starved for 7 months straight!
According to other #OSINT slueths after yesterdays swap Hamas outlined ways that Israel been violating the Gaza Deal.
Of top concern is the fact that Israel is continuing to not allow construction materials into Gaza.
At the time of posting I could not verify the below statement because Hamas' official website appears to be currently offline.
In addition to not holding up their end of the deal on basic aid, Israel continues to break the ceasefire and kill civilians at random for no apparent reason in Gaza.
Earlier today a civilian car on Rashid Street, west of Al-Nuseirat camp, in the central Gaza Strip was bombed by the IOF killing a child and injuring several Palestinians near by.
In the West Bank, Israel also today launched airstrikes on residential blocks in the city of Jenin, destroying 20 homes.
A clear sign that the Palestinian genocide isn't over, its just shifted to the West Bank.
Another major development in Gaza today is that an American mercenary outfit is now operating in Gaza in areas that the IOF wishes to continue controlling. This group is likely staffed by Americans.
The US based mercenaries were seen driving white trucks and being guided by IOF soldiers to where they will be stationed.
Trump has been meeting with wanted was criminal Netanyahu this week, after these me we meetings Trump unexpectedly suggested the idea of deploying US troops to Gaza to directly assist Israel in displacing Palestinians into neighboring countries.
This idea has been widely condemned by Arab countries and even Israel is beginning to down play as pledges mount from Jordan to join the war if the US becomes involved in the ground.
Rand Paul, a well known Republican dickhead who happens to occasionally take anti-war positions, seemed shocked that Trump would be so eager to get sucked into another dead end war demanded that Trump put America first and not intervene further in support of Israel.

Suddenly Democrats have found the will to block some military aid heading to Israel.
The 11 year old child that Israeli troops shot in the back on the 28th has now passed away.
His family posted video of the funeral.
Saddam Rajab, from Kafr al -Labad, east of Tulkarm, was playing on the sidewalk near his home when he was randomly targeted by an IOF sniper and shot.
The crime was caught on several security cameras and they show they child posed no threat to anyone. It was murder.

Today there's another prisoner exchange taking place.
In a first #Hamas released 3 men who clearly had lost weight. Hamas said they could not always protect the prisoners from the famine in Gaza but they did their best.
The released Israelis thanked the resistance for feeding and protecting them from the IOF bombing. They encouraged negotiations to continue and for the ceasefire to be respected.
