The current Israeli government made the same mistake after Oct 7 that so many previous ones had by assuming that it would retain the support of the White House if it followed its parameters. Instead of a comprehensive siege and rapid forceful assaults, Israel waited. When there were complaints about casualties, it slowed down, sent warnings and put its own soldiers at risk. And lives were lost.
But none of that worked. There was a ticking clock and Biden was bound to eventually pull support. It was only a matter of time.
Now, Israel won a major victory by catching Hamas and Islamic Jihad by surprise. How did it do that? By ignoring the rules that the Islamic terrorists thought Israel had to operate by.
After a previous raid on the Al-Shifa hospital, a Qatari terror base, that had been telegraphed with multiple warnings, Israel returned, struck fast, and took out over 100 terrorists and captured over 600. (The numbers continue to increase.)
Reportedly, Israel has captured top Islamic Jihad leaders and a variety of significant Hamas figures.
Hamas had not been expecting Israel to hit a ‘hospital’ on Ramadan without warning. That was against all the rules out of D.C.
But the rules are going out the window.
Some IDF sources explained that the terror groups likely returned to Shifa, despite the IDF already having cleaned it out in November 2023, because they did not expect the military to return to the hospital in the middle of Ramadan, with a rise in global criticism of Israel, and with hostage negotiations at a critical point.
These IDF sources said that the paradigm for IDF action in Gaza has shifted, and it is now ready to act anywhere and anytime, regardless of the human shields Hamas hides behind.
The last time around, Israel had delayed and focused on showing how nice it was. As a result, the terrorists were able to escape and take the hostages with them.
Not this time.
IDF sources also described additional details of the operation, including that the first forces started moving toward and into Shifa at 2:15 a.m., with the compound surrounded by 2:30 a.m.
Next, Shayetet 13 and Nahal forces penetrated two different areas, followed only a few minutes later by two other separate forces penetrating, including the 424th battalion and a mix of the 52nd and 401st battalions.
Around 6,000 civilians were also evacuated, but unlike the November operation when there was no inspection of evacuees, these civilians were evacuated with a careful inspection to catch all of the terrorists…
The IDF arrested “very senior” Hamas officials in Gaza’s Shifa Hospital but cannot disclose the names due to ongoing investigations, IDF spokesman R.-Adm. Daniel Hagari said in a Thursday evening briefing.
“The Shifa operation is the largest since the launch of the war,” Hagari noted. “We captured the higher echelon of Palestinian Islamic Jihad leaders.”
The Michigan allies of Hamas had worked hard to dismantle Biden’s support for Israel. But the flip side of the faltering of the alliance is that Israel is now much less constrained by trying to fight a war by impossible rules which provide every advantage to the enemy.
The rules have changed.

Ha ha HAW! Good job by Israel and the IDF. Let’s go Brandon!
The only bad thing is the Islamic Jihad and Hamas captives. They should’ve been killed immediately. Now they’re bargaining chips for the Psuedostinian scum.
World@70 says
I doubt there are very many hostages still alive. Hamas Islamists take too much pleasure in torturing and killing Jews, and provide very little medical care.
But we can hope.
Jeff Bargholz says
I don’t think ANY of the hostages Hamas took are still alive. Those jihadi terrorists haven’t offered ANY proof of life. Nothing they say can be trusted anyway. Typical moslems. Typical lying scumbags.
Garrett Fulton says
“Nothing they say can be trusted anyway.”
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, exactly! Lying is religious to those scumbags. It’s scripture to them.

May God give strength to His nation
May God bless His nation with peace
After thousands of years, the world still can’t leave the promised land and the chosen people in it alone.
When the world finally realizes that leaving Israel alone is the prerequisite for peace in the entire world, only then will Israel’s enemies be ashamed and endlessly atone for millennia of unforgivable sins.
PSCHIEBER says
About time. Mazel tov!
roberta says
I havnt had time to catch the ”news” on this one. Almost cant wait to hear the spin that will go on for days.
Israel took away the HAMAS Ramadan (Reload) Holiday.
RS says
The hospitals are used for hiding Hamas, and weapons, and using innocent civilians to shield their operations!
Charlotte says
To be sure plenty of spun will follow.
All lies.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Yes, that was a very clever trap.
With a large database, using facial recognition and such, then processing with AI, it is possible to identify terrorists in real time, even if they are wearing civilian clothes.
NAVY ET1 says
Incredible news! As the world turns it’s back on Israel, as it often has in the past, the Israeli people have usually found a default benefactor in the US. That linkage has often come at the price of remote armchair quarterbacking from Washington. Now that Biden has shown his true nature, that linkage is severed, allowing an unfettered Israel to fight an enemy as ONLY they would know how. Oddly, Biden’s treachery is this instance is a blessing and, if one were so predisposed, might consider these circumstances supernaturally orchestrated. I know I do.
Jeff Bargholz says
Netanyahu told Stinken’ Blinken to his face that he would appreciate American “help” but that Israel would exterminate the vermin in Rafah on its own if necessary, which it obviously is. Blinken has been on a tour of the Near East trying to save Hamas.
Everybody in the Jihad Joe administration is a piece of shit.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Doggie calling cards, as my grandmother used to say 🙂
Jeff Bargholz says
“Doggie calling cards.”
LOL. There are a lot of those around here! I live in an apartment building and there are condos across the street (everybody who lives there hates us apartment dwellers – even me! – and thinks of our building as a tenement) and a lot of these morons have dogs of various sizes, so they’re always leaving calling cards/land mines all over the sidewalks and earthen areas. And every lamppost smells like dog piss.
What type of retard owns a dog in an apartment or condo? Dogs belong in backyards and dog houses.
And there are a lot of the human doggie calling cards you alluded to. They loiter around the building at night and early morning. Tweaker scum. I don’t know what the particular attraction of this place is. Freaks. They have all of downtown San Jose to infest, so why here? I prefer the doggie calling cards to them.
CowboyUp says
No way, in ‘progressive’ and ‘green California? I always have three poop bags in my cargo pocket Two, in case puppers spreads the love to more than one spot, and a third in case one of the first two are defective (rare, but once is enough). In my neighborhood. some houses have a poop bag dispenser by their mailbox. I prefer they poop in my yard, I could use the fertilizer. I just hit it with the hose, to spread it out
Greg says
Back in the day, issuing remote threats of violence on a street corner was referred to as “selling wolf tickets.” At best, such bluster had entertainment value. Apparently, Bibi Netanyahu laughed at Joe Bite-Me’s (and Chuck Schumer’s) wolf tickets as he takes out murderous Arab terrorists. Obviously, Bibi knows how to handle himself on a street corner.
Jeff Bargholz says
Bibi knows Biden and his handlers are bitches.
RS says
God Bless Israel, and know that if you are faithful. to him……God will make you mighty! May you get your guidance from the God above, Jehovah, who really loves you. Never listen to governments that want your demise and try to deceive you.
Michalis says
Has the world forgotten that the United States once faced a religiously inspired, fanatical, ruthless and utterly cruel enemy? In the second world war, the American Marines showed no mercy to the Japanese. The Americans even INVENTED NAPALM during the war against the Japanese, and used it to DELIBERATELY SET FIRE TO JAPANESE CITIES.
This was after the British had set off a firestorm in Hamburg in July/August 1943, so it was well understood exactly what would happen, when Curtis LeMay’s bombers dropped massive loads of incendiaries on Tokyo.
Just do a search for photos of Tokyo after it was bombed in 1945.
THAT is what the United States was prepared to do – and what they actually DID – in order to defeat an enemy that was not dissimilar to the one Israel is facing today.
So why are the Americans yelling and carrying on about how Israel fights in a war against an enemy so similar to the one the Americans faced in the Pacific theatre?
After the war in the north against Hezbollah kicks off, do these American politicians WANT Israel to have to fight a two front war?
Is that what this is all about?
Do they want *more* war, more killing, more death and destruction? Because the ONLY way to minimise these things is for everyone in the world to support Israel 100% and help them to do whatever it takes to defeat the enemy in the south once and for all.
Algorithmic Analyst says
One of my former neighbors (chemical engineer for major oil company) was involved in the invention of napalm according to neighborhood legend,
People generally don’t know that the firestorm bombings of Tokyo and such were even more destructive that the A-bombings.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yeah, paper walls and wooden frames aren’t exactly fire proof.
It reminds me of “The Three Little Pigs” story I used to read as a kid.
RS says
Well. Said…. The US is in the same boat as Israel, or we will be eventually because of the open borders!!!!!!!!!!
CowboyUp says
They would drop HE first to break up the wood, then incendiaries. Napalm was perfect for jungles, trenches, and bunkers.
DetroitOtaku says
Oh, Candace Owens got the boot from the Daily Wire today. You plan on doing an article on that topic as well?
She was well known for her anti-Israel stance.
SPURWING PLOVER says
Biden the Blunder eds to resign to the home of the politicly unfit for cadency home
Webb Cook says
Does this mean that the IDF can use their bayonets again? Seriously. Who knows the answer to this?
Bryan says
I suspect a lot of things would go right by ignoring Biden (or doing the opposite of his ideas).
danknight says
Good. About time Israel stopped taking advice from Leftist (anti-)Americans.
G-d bless the IDF soldiers fighting in Gaza …
Siddi Nasrani says
Enough of Biden already! A man must do what a man must do. Am Hai Israel, col ha kovod.
Michael A Koplen says
Great article with excellent and heart-warming information.
Kudos to the IDF.
Shabbat Shalom.
And a Freiliche Purim.
CowboyUp says
What, the IDF didn’t warn them what the target was and when they were coming? They didn’t even inform the biden administration, so they could warn hamas (D)? That not very sporting, and just look at what happened! If our msm weren’t an arm of the DNC, the biden administration might have to explain why all those healthy hamas and i.j. terrorists and their leaders were doing hiding out in a hospital, a war crime.
Jk, I’m just disappointed the IDF took prisoners. I don’t think they should have been accepting surrenders after 10/7. But then I don’t think the IDF should have been at all concerned over civilian casualties either. If anybody had a problem with it, I would tell them to just pretend I’m PM Erdogan and the fakestinians are Kurds. By VE day, around half the Germans were dead, but outside of a few “Werewolves,” the Germans were done with war.
It’s reassuring that Bibi and Israel aren’t caving to the biden administration’s threats and backstabbing. I hope Israel is gearing up to manufacture their own munitions, so they’re never again dependent on the USA. They should have known better to begin with. Sure buy our stuff, but have their own means ready to crank up when the dems inevitably leave them twisting in the breeze.
I’m just now commenting, but this was happy news to start my day.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, all those jihadi terrorist captives the IDF has should be hanged or shot forthwith.
Steven Brizel says
I think that one of the Hamas niks who was captured was the mastermind of the kidnapping of three Israeli teens back in 2014-I also have strong doubts as to whether the hostages are still alive and strongly suspect that Hamas has executed them all
Eliyahu says
Only Bibi is strong enough not to be led and deceived by Biden.
Gantz and Lapid woild be doing whatever Biden commands of them, with reckless disregard to Israel’s security and future.
RS says
There is the Condition….Woke…. everywhere, including in Israel.
Yeah Right says
“Israel returned, struck fast, and took out over 100 terrorists and captured over 600. (The numbers continue to increase.)”
This is drivel. The reason WHY the IDF was able to return so suddenly and without warning is that Al-Shifa hospital is behind the Israeli lines, and has been ever since the first raid.
Well, so sorry, but if you believe that Hamas would base 700 of its fighters in a location BEHIND enemy lines then I have a bridge to sell you.
“Reportedly, Israel has captured top Islamic Jihad leaders and a variety of significant Hamas figures.”
Again, complete drivel.
Come on, think about it: the hospital is BEHIND the Israeli lines. It is in that part of the Gaza Strip that the IDF has already isolated from the remnants of Hamas that is concentrated in Rafah.
Yet you and I are expected to believe that Islamic Jihad and Hamas were basing “top officials” in a building that is (a) behind Israeli lines and therefore (b) can be raided at will and without warning by the IDF.
Yeah, sure, and pigs can fly.
This entire article defies any commonsense, and if you want to believe it then go ahead. But you’d be wrong to believe it, because it is utterly preposterous.
TruthLaser says
In every war that Israel has had with the Arabs, reports from both sides differed. The Israeli reports were nearly 100% more truthful than the Arabs. For example, in 1967, the Arabs said they were winning daily. They lost six days. Not to mention the Soviet pilots based in Egypt that tried to jump Israeli pilots. The Russians had denigrated the Egyptian pilots using Soviet jets as inferior. The Egyptians were thrilled the Russians were shot down as easily as Arab news reports.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yeah but no, Mohammad. There are no lines in Israel. The Gaza toilet is part of Israel. The al Shifa Hamas jihadi terrorist headquarters was as much of a “hospital” as the Beijing Biden White House is a pro-American headquarters.
Yes, we ARE supposed to believe that Hamas leaders are overconfident CRETINS.
Sorry for you islamopithecines, but the IDF is competent and Hamas isn’t. The UN and Jihad Joe administration can’t help you now. Eat it, bitch.
Charlotte says
Exactly right! Yes Biden for political reasons or other has betrayed Israel.
If we were not before, we are now wiser and Israel will do whatever Israel needs to do to survive.
It would be typical of the rest of the world to support evil.
We only need to look at the majority of EU nations today, and we should bever forget the recentless persecution in Europe for 2000 years.
Apparently the Arabs are not the only ones who expect the little Jew to do as he is told.
