Israel's Enemies "Celebrate" October 7th

 As we enter the sombre atmosphere of October 7th, the whole country is warned to be extra alert.  All terror groups wish to ‘commemorate’ Oct. 7 with more blood.  Terror attempts and extra rocket attacks are possible.

Already there have been:-

a) INFILTRATION ATTACK (NORTH)!  6 terrorists entered Israel from Lebanon via a tunnel, all of them were eliminated.  Apparently planned a massacre for today, were exposed by the IDF and eliminated.

b) SUICIDE DRONES (2) at RISHON L’ZIYON this morning!  Intercepted - “from the east”, possibly from Houthis - Yemen or from Iranian Shia militias Iraq.

c) ROCKET STRIKE HAIFA - late night, restaurant hit! 4 injured.  13 year old boy, shrapnel injury to the head. Hezbollah: “We bombed an IDF base.”

d) ROCKET STRIKE TIBERIAS - late night, 1 injured.

e) HAMAS ATTEMPTS COMMEMORATION ATTACK!  The IDF thwarted an immediate threat, following preliminary preparation and the identification of an intention by the terrorist organization Hamas to fire at the territory of the State of Israel, attacking multiple launch positions and a tunnel route.

f) Propaganda is expected today from Hamas who are expected to publish videos of hostages or a special message from Hamas leader Sinwar today. This may not happen as Sinwar seems to have disappeared.

g) As of publishing this blog at 4pm, 4 rockets have been fired into Israel by Hamas and 90 by Hezbollah

Videos from Iran show the transport of large amounts of missiles throughout the country.  Experts are suggesting they are redistributing missiles to prevent Israeli targeting opportunities.

Defense Minister Yoav Galant has said to CNN: An Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear facilities is not ruled out. However there are persistent rumours from the US suggesting that American officials have offered Israel extensive diplomatic backing and additional military assistance if they refrain from attacking certain targets in Iran. (Most would refer to this as blackmail!)

SUMMARY. There have been 885 civilian casualties, of which 53 were children under the age of 18 and more than 70,000 refugees of hostilities, since the beginning of the war. There are now 923 orphans and 340,000 dunams (85,000 acres) of Israeli territory have been burned.
