Dude, the martyrdom notices come from Hamas and Islamic Jihad’s own Telegram channels. You take their word for everything else. Other people got fooled. You’re just part of the same Islamist propaganda machine.
Exhaustive? Literally just another bunch of Israeli claims and pictures, some of which don’t even show anything. ‘Trust us bro!’

The two youngest Palestinian child soldiers so far to have died in the October 7 War appear to be this 13-year-old and this 14-year-old. They join 29 other deceased Gazan child soldiers that have been confirmed so far. 🧵

🚨 Significant elimination attempt in Gaza at an extraordinarily symbolic moment Early this morning, the IDF attempted to eliminate Ali Al-Omoudi, Hamas’s leader in Gaza, who replaced Khalil al-Hayya and previously served as Yahya Sinwar’s chief of staff. He is currently considered the No. 1 Hamas figure in the Gaza Strip. The elimination attempt took place on the morning of Simchat Torah in Israel, exactly three years after the October 7 massacre.

BREAKING: Two posts were made on terrorist pilot Hamam al-Hammami’s LinkedIn profile Wednesday — hours after he attempted to hijack and crash FlyDubai Flight 1073 — before being deleted. It is not known who posted them or if they were scheduled in advance. Per @CNN: “The first post featured a series of clips filmed in the cockpits of a Boeing 737 Max aircraft. The aircraft that diverted to Saudi Arabia in Wednesday’s incident was a Flydubai 737 Max 8. In one clip, which CNN geolocated to Dubai International Airport, the person filming zooms in on a plane that belongs to the Israeli airline El Al. In the video, the cockpit screen showed the flight number – OMA624 – and date, October 11, 2023. The flight number corresponds to a flight that typically travels from Dubai to Muscat. The date matches the period of time he worked at Oman Air. In other clips in the video, more planes from El Al, as well as one from Arkia, another Israeli airline, are shown. The video ends with a photo of Ayman al-Zawahiri, who led al Qaeda after the death of Osama Bin Laden, and a photo of Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, who killed nine people, including seven American CIA officers and contractors, in a 2009 suicide bombing, and was loyal to al Qaeda. The second post features an AI-generated image depicting Islam’s three holiest sites – in Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem – linked by a continuous glowing trail. A defiant poem recited in the background speaks of rejecting humiliation, not fearing death and defending one’s dignity.”

Turns out the wannabee suicide jihadist pilot Hamam Al Hamami seems to have studied in the UK - at Buckinghamshire New University.. because that is what we are now.. a safe haven for every Islamic terrorist in the world. They may as well rename the UK Terrorist HQ.

The Omani co-pilot who tried to crash the flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv has been reportedly identified as Hamam al-Hammami. According to Saudi Al-Arabiya, Al-Hammami spent most of his time outside Oman, particularly in Syria, where he was influenced by extremist ideology. Omani authorities barred him from flying due to his extremism. He left Oman because of the flight ban, then headed to the UAE, where he found work at flydubai.

The commander of Hamas's Northern Gaza Brigade, who was killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza City earlier this week, had been responsible for holding numerous hostages in captivity, the military says. The IDF says that "following extensive intelligence research," it can reveal that Izz al-Din al-Bik, who was killed on Tuesday, "commanded the captivity of Israeli hostages during the war." The hostages under Bik's responsibility included Mia Schem, Hisham al-Sayed, Amit Buskila, Uriel Baruch, Corporal Nik Beizer, Sergeant Ron Sherman, Elia Toledano, Shani Louk, Michel Nisenbaum, Staff Sergeant Tamir Nimrodi, Yitzhak Gelerenter, Eitan Levy, Hanan Yablonka, Ron Benjamin, and Orion Hernandez. Bik had been in the role since the previous Northern Gaza Brigade commander, Ahmed Ghandour, was killed by Israel on November 10, 2023, according to the military and Hamas. Before that, he held other top roles, including chief of intelligence in the Northern Gaza Brigade and commander of the Western Jabalia Battalion. "In these roles, he advanced and financed numerous attacks against Israeli civilians and was among the founders of Hamas’s Nukhba forces in northern Gaza," the military says. In addition, Bik "commanded and participated in the infiltration into Israeli territory" during the October 7, 2023, onslaught, according to the IDF.
The IDF and Shin Bet confirm killing the commander of Hamas's Northern Gaza Brigade in a strike in Gaza City overnight. Izz al-Din al-Bik had been in the role since the previous Northern Gaza Brigade commander, Ahmed Ghandour, was killed by Israel on November 10, 2023, according to the military.

HUGE Breaking News: The IDF has now published a full dossier exposing a whopping 170 Gaza “journalists” who were actually military operatives in Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other terrorist organizations. The names cut across an astonishingly broad swath of the media ecosystem. The files include people reported to have worked for Al Jazeera, Reuters, AP, CNN, BBC, AFP, ABC, Le Monde, Radio France, Anadolu and dozens of Palestinian media organizations. But the scandal here goes far beyond the 170 names. A profession that asks the world to treat journalists as sacrosanct has an obligation to defend the meaning of the word journalist. Journalism isn’t sacred because someone wears a PRESS vest. It’s sacred because truth is supposed to matter more than tribe, ideology, access or narrative. Journalists are supposed to interrogate sources, not become stenographers for a cause. The proper response to 170 detailed allegations is neither blind acceptance nor reflexive dismissal. It’s investigation. Check the military IDs. Check the unit assignments. Check the employment histories. Ask the outlets what they knew. Journalists should do journalism.

The sources in Naza are anonymous. But Sabine Taasa does not hide her face or her name. “Look me in the eyes," she said to the filmmakers. "You’re talking about collateral damage? My husband and my son were murdered by Hamas. Where does this appear in your film?”
🛑A shocking scene in the Netherlands. Sabine Tasa , whose husband Gil and son Or were murdered by Hamas on October 7 confronted filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Shor during a screening of Naza in Delft. “Look me in the eyes. You talk about collateral damage? My husband and my son were murdered by Hamas. Where is that in your film?” According to reports, several people in the audience responded: “We don’t care,” “Shame on you,” and “We don’t want to hear.” Imagine saying those words to a mother standing in front of you after her husband and son were murdered.😢💔

The Israeli military says it has determined that 170 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip who were claimed as journalists following their deaths were actually members of terror groups. "Following extensive research, the IDF is now revealing that 170 Gazans killed during the war who were presented as journalists and media personnel were in fact serving as terrorists for terror organizations in the Strip, foremost among them Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad," the army says. According to the military, 118 of the journalists were active in Hamas's military wing, 49 operated in Islamic Jihad, two were members of the Popular Resistance Committees, and one was part of the Mujahideen Brigades. Seventeen of the journalists/terrorists raided Israeli territory on October 7, 2023, the army says. Some of the journalists appearing on the IDF's list also worked for international media outlets, including Reuters, CNN, ABC Australia, BBC, AFP, AP, Le Monde and others. The 170 cases are published by the IDF on a dedicated website. Each includes the name and role of the journalist/terror operative, along with their civil and military ID numbers. The military says it is publishing "verified evidence, including visual material and documents produced by the terror organizations, some of which were found in the field, indicating the organizational affiliation of those terrorists and the roles they held within the terror organizations." The IDF says that during the war, various international media outlets "repeatedly accused Israel and the IDF, without presenting verified findings, of deliberately harming journalists." "This was despite the fact that in some cases the terror organizations themselves presented those individuals as terrorists in their ranks and even claimed responsibility for them," the IDF asserts. "The information now being revealed illustrates the gap between the picture presented to the world and the reality on the ground, and presents additional and conclusive evidence that the IDF does not deliberately and systematically target journalists, but rather terror organizations and their terrorists, in accordance with international law," the military adds.

In recent weeks — largely unnoticed, at the bottom of the news — there was a major dispute between Shin Bet Director David Zini and Israel's airlines over a ban the Shin Bet had imposed on flights to the UAE. The agency's reasoning was straightforward: it considered security measures at Emirati airports insufficient, and since the Shin Bet is responsible for securing Israeli flights to and from Israel, it dug in and blocked those flights from going ahead. That dispute connects to this incident. The security measures in place for flights to Israel could plausibly have helped prevent this attack — especially given that the pilot appears to have brought the weapon on board himself, whether a knife or an axe (it remains unclear which he used to stab the co-pilot in his attempt to crash the plane). It's worth being precise about jurisdiction here. The Shin Bet is responsible for Israeli flights; the Ministry of Transportation is responsible for foreign airlines departing from Israel; and the Mossad is responsible for thwarting international terrorist threats abroad. This incident — a foreign airline, a foreign pilot — doesn't sit squarely inside any one of those mandates. Investigators are also examining, though far from conclusively, whether the pilot intended to seize control of the aircraft over Jordanian airspace and crash it somewhere inside Israel shortly after. It's one line of inquiry, not an established finding. On the broader alert picture: there had been a general uptick in terror-warning traffic, but the dominant concern regarding the Emirates was a different kind of threat altogether — an attack at the airport itself, or a missile strike, the sort of scenario recalled from the 2002 attack in Mombasa targeting Israelis. As far as I know, the specific scenario that played out here — the pilot himself being the attacker — wasn't raised in any prior discussion. That's something that will need to be investigated.

Suggestion: if you don't want your buildings destroyed, don't build your key war-making facilities under them, then make war on your neighbors by committing ghastly atrocities against them.
This endless destruction is why Netanyahu does not allow journalists into Gaza. If he actually believed that Israeli had shown great restraint and that public perceptions were mistaken, we'd all be invited in with cameras. But Bibi doesn't want the devastation documented or the survivors interviewed.
