President Biden reportedly pressured Israel to delay the Gaza ground operation further in order to allow the US to work on releasing the hostages. In the interim, this gives Hamas even more time to plant explosives and IED’s as traps for the incoming ground invasion of 350,000 troops.
Biden, who got to use the big stairs to board AF1 tonight, says “yes” when asked if Israel should delay its ground invasion.

Yes, casualties are completely tragic, but the IDF found fake mannequin bodies being used by Hamas as propaganda against Israel.
We are delighted to introduce you to #Pallywood. A spectacular blockbuster was filmed in the #Gaza Strip, purporting to represent victims of IDF strikes. The victim turned out to be a doll.

Tragic: The IDF confirmed the death of an Israeli-American reservist killed by Hezbollah missile from Lebanon HY”D. He was identified as Staff Sgt. Omer Balva HY”D, 22, from Herzliya.
IDF and Defense Ministry say they will evacuate another 14 communities close to the Lebanese border, amid repeated rocket and missile attacks by Hezbollah in the last two weeks.
The ministry’s National Emergency Management Authority (NEMA) said the residents would be taken to state-funded guesthouses.
Last week, NEMA began to evacuate 28 communities that are within two kilometers (1.25 miles) of the border, as well as the city of Kiryat Shmona.
