The Hamas terrorist organization is rebuilding in Gaza

Some experts are warning that, while the war against Iran and Lebanon continue, the Hamas has been exploiting that time in order to rebuild its grip on Gaza:

While Israel focuses on threats from Iran and the northern front, Hamas is quietly reconstructing its infrastructure and strengthening control over Gaza, according to security experts. Footage and intelligence reveal convoys guarded by armed operatives, tunnels being refurbished, and the organization reestablishing itself economically-raising concerns among residents near the Gaza border that warnings of Hamas’s collapse have been premature.

Raphael Hayon, who operates an independent intelligence center from his home in Netivot, says he identified signs of distress and preparations for raids even before the October ceasefire. In an interview with Alon Sharvit on Kan News, Hayon warns that Hamas is undergoing a rapid reconstruction process.

He cites recent videos showing convoys of trucks entering Gaza, guarded by armed Hamas operatives. The footage illustrates Hamas’s full control over civilian areas up to the “yellow line," with personnel carrying light weapons and RPGs directing movement and setting the agenda on Gaza’s streets.

The Israeli authorities have been allowing truck convoys into Gaza without any inspection? I don't know, but if that's even remotely the case, it shows how security continues to be a serious fiasco, as is the way the Hamas is allowed to continue trying to reorganize. The IDF will have to prove they can act upon this info.

National memorial for October 7, 2023

Today there's been a national memorial held for victims of October 7, 2023 at Tel Aviv's Yarkon Park:

Israel’s national memorial event marking two years since Hamas’s brutal October 7, 2023, onslaught — in which over 1,200 people were killed and 251 taken hostage — has begun in Tel Aviv, drawing some 30,000 attendees.

The ceremony, organized by Kumu (“Rise Up”), a movement founded by families of victims, hostages, and survivors of the attack, is being held at Yarkon Park, Tel Aviv’s largest outdoor venue.

Speakers include former hostage Omer Shem Tov and Anat Angrest, mother of hostage Matan Angrest, alongside performances by Israeli artists Yuval Rafael, Idan Amedi, and more.

Unlike last year, the Israeli government chose not to hold an official state memorial, instead designating a national day of remembrance on the day after Simchat Torah — the Hebrew anniversary of the massacre — on the 24th of Tishrei, which this year, falls on October 16. As a result, Kumu’s event has become the country’s main memorial ceremony for the October 7 attacks.

Here's more on Sky News, and on Israel National News. This was an utter disaster that will take years to recuperate from.

FBI warns terrorist attacks more likely, but doesn't mention CAIR poses problem too

Paul Sperry discusses how CAIR's been able to operate in the USA for as many as 3 decades, and despite their support for Hamas, no serious action was ever taken against them:

After Hamas massacred 1,400 men, women, and children in Israel last month, FBI Director Christopher Wray warned that the terror group “and its allies” could inspire attacks on Americans “here on our own soil.” He also told the Senate that the FBI is conducting “multiple, ongoing investigations” into people affiliated with the U.S.-designated terrorist group.

What Wray didn’t say is that the FBI has been investigating Hamas’ biggest ally in America for the past 30 years — without seeking any charges. Launched in 1994 as a secret front organization to support Hamas, according to declassified FBI wiretap transcripts and FBI testimony, the Council on American-Islamic Relations has, in the decades since, become an accepted member of Washington’s lobbying community. The New York Times and other influential newspapers routinely describe CAIR as a “Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization.”

Although it has not repudiated its support for Hamas — which is committed to the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people — CAIR was enlisted by the Biden administration in May to take part in a White House initiative to fight antisemitism.

On Oct. 7, the day Hamas terrorists butchered 1,400 Jews, including 33 Americans — raping many and abducting some 240 others to Gaza from southern Israel — CAIR’s national executive director, Nihad Awad, delivered an anti-Israel message in Arabic which seemed to justify what Hamas did. Translated into English, it read: “All Arab peoples must go out on Sunday, Oct. 8 — and every day — in demonstrations in support of the Palestinians and in rejection of normalization with the occupier and the apartheid regime [Israel].”

On Saturday afternoon, CAIR helped rally more than 100,000 Muslims in D.C. to instead condemn Israel for supposedly carrying out “genocide” in Gaza in response to the Oct. 7 attacks. Multiple speakers called for the destruction of Israel — and, by implication, the Jewish people there — by demanding Palestinians take all the lands “from the [Jordan] river to the [Mediterranean] sea.”

Something the Federalist writer doesn't mention either is that even under the Dubya administration, this was a very sad problem, and it doesn't seem like anybody wants to acknowledge that. As awful as it is that Biden's bunch would actually include CAIR in alleged efforts to combat antisemitism, when CAIR is part and parcel of the problem, anybody who overlooks the harm Dubya's bunch enabled is making it failing to do anything to oppose the RINOs who've lent themselves to the decline of western values over the years.

For now, it most definitely is sad how Biden and company are kowtowing to CAIR at the expense of common sense.

Mystery Tunnel Discovered Near Venue For Pan Am Games in Toronto, Canada

From CBC

National security officials have been notified that an underground tunnel was discovered near a venue for this summer’s Pan Am Games in Toronto, CBC News has learned.

The tunnel was dug in the woods near Toronto’s Rexall Centre and York University’s Keele campus. It was large enough for a person to stand in, at around 2½ metres in height, and was about seven metres long. The tunnel had lights inside, powered by a generator, and the walls and ceiling were reinforced.
