Some detailed pieces on this sudden war (which may well help bring on a vastly bigger conflagration) conjointly raise some questions that we all had better face, whatever side we’re on (if any)
Palestinian resistance in Gaza launches unprecedented surprise attack on Israel
At around 6:30 a.m., Palestinian resistance factions in Gaza launched a surprise attack on Israel from land, sea, and air, as thousands of rockets have been launched into Israel and reportedly dozens of Israelis, including soldiers, have been killed and abducted by the resistance.
BY TAREQ S. HAJJAJ AND MONDOWEISS EDITORS OCTOBER 7, 2023
In the early morning hours of Saturday, October 7, the Palestinian resistance in the besieged Gaza Strip launched an unprecedented surprise multi-prong attack on Israel, including firing a barrage of rockets toward Israeli territory while simultaneously carrying out a ground offensive into nearby Israeli towns which breached the Israeli Gaza barrier and overwhelmed surrounding Israeli military posts.
As of 12:30 local time, it was reported that thousands of rockets had been fired from Gaza into Israel and that Israeli air forces had targeted multiple areas across the Gaza Strip with airstrikes. Medical authorities in Gaza report that over 190 Palestinians had been killed and over 1,600 were injured so far. Israeli emergency services report at least 100 Israeli casualties, and dozens of other unconfirmed reports indicate the casualties to be much higher. According to Al Jazeera, 57 Israelis, including military personnel, have allegedly been captured and taken into Gaza.
While Hamas reported firing more than 5,000 rockets into Israel, including long-range rockets, the Israeli army claimed just over 2,200 rockets were fired into Israel Saturday morning.
For the rest:
From Sonia Elijah:
In light of the violent attacks today in Israel I thought it was fitting to cross post from Efrat Fenigson’s substack, who is based in Tel Aviv. Her analysis of today’s events are invaluable and thought-provoking.
She states: “Israeli Defense forces that were supposed to be around Gaza were placed around the West Bank because of security concerns so the Gaza envelope was left unoccupied with military.”
🇮🇱 Israel-Hamas War – An Update
Oct. 7th, 2023, an update from the field, with my key insights, questions and concerns.

My video update transcript:
- Oct. 7th, 2023, This is Efrat Fenigson, and I’m here to share an update from Israel-Hamas War which started this morning.
- I’m going to share some key details and concerns, mostly based on Israeli citizens’ voices from the ground, and on official statements.
- This is a very tough day for me and for us in Israel. It is tough for people of Palestine too, especially now that Israel is starting to attack back. War is a horrible thing for everyone involved, except for those who get rich from it.
- This morning, around 6am, sunrise, Hundreds of Hamas terrorists, at least 300, breached the border fence in multiple places, completely unimpeded, leading to terror attacks and kidnappings in Israeli towns or villages.
- The terrorists infiltrated a significant number of dryland outposts as well as a naval infiltration point in Zikim. As we speak, Israel is actively engaged in combat in n 22 outposts. – this is from the IDF statement.
- The attacks have already resulted in over 100 casualties and more than 100 kidnappings of Israeli citizens.
- In one village, 50 Israelis have been taken hostage, leaving people locked in shelters for long periods of 8-9 hours without rescue.
- In some places the terrorists were burning the village and people didn’t know if to leave the shelter and surrender or stay and pray the fire doesn’t catch them.
- Many young people who were in a big outdoor party near the Gaza envelope villages, were attacked there, some ran away, some were injured and some are still missing.
- Apparently Israeli Defense forces that were supposed to be around Gaza were placed around the West Bank because of security concerns so the Gaza envelope was left unoccupied with military.
- Soldiers are being recruited for reserves, but because of stupid reasons such as no public transport they’re waiting hours to get to bases.
- Mainstream media apparently admits that IDF spokesperson is forbidding to tell the complete truth, highlighting a lack of transparency. Only now, 6pm Israel time, 12 hours after the event started, we received the first formal announcement from IDF spokesperson: https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-october-7-2023/
- A year ago there was a military operation in Gaza to prepare for such events, and ongoingly there are trainings for these kinds of scenarios. This raises serious questions about Israeli intelligence. What happened?
- Two years ago there was a successful deployment of underground barriers in with sensors – to alert terrorists breaches. Israel has one of the most advanced and high tech armies, how come there was zero response to the border and fence breaching??
- I served in the IDF 25 years ago, in the intelligence forces. There’s no way Israel did not know of what’s coming. A cat moving alongside the fence is triggering all forces. So this??
What happened to the “strongest army in the world”?
How come border crossings were wide open??
Something is VERY WRONG HERE, something is very strange, this chain of events is very unusual and not typical for the Israeli defense system. - With the recent normalization efforts of Israel and Palestine led by Saudi Arabia, I wonder whether a prisoners exchange deal is something that could only be seriously considered by Israel if a shocking event like that happened?
- Is it a possibility that only with Israeli hostages it can be justified to release dangerous prisoners from Israeli prisons?
- MSM reported that “Deputy Hamas leader Saleh Al-Aruri suggests using Israeli prisoners for leverage in negotiations.”
- A point about the situation in Israel in the past few years – those who follow me know, that there’s a general sense of insecurity in Israel, there’s political and social instability, public funds are being misused on agendas such as Covid, climate, judicial reform, abolishing cash and more. The current and government is highly corrupt in my view, while the previous one was no better.
- I don’t care about having a popular opinion, I care about exposing evil forces – wherever they are:
- To me this suprise attack seems like a planned operation. On all fronts.
This is a failure to protect the people of Israel, for sure, perhaps the biggest failure since the Yom Kippur war exactly 50 years ago, if not bigger. – by the way – is it a coincidence it’s exactly 50 years ago, almost on the day? The Yom Kippur War was on Oct. 6th 1973. - If I was a conspiracy theorist I would say that this feels like the work of the Deep State.
It feels like the people of Israel and the people of Palestine have been sold, once again, to the higher powers that be. - At the same time, this is still very difficult to fathom.
- To me this suprise attack seems like a planned operation. On all fronts.
Please share this update,
Take care,
Efrat

At least they had to break through walls , fences , barriers to get into that country instead of waltzing in across the border with a UNHCF debit card.

This attack was triggered by 800 Israel settlers seizing the Al-Aqsa Mosque, one of the most sacred sites in Islam, and preventing muslims from worshipping there…Of which there has been a mysterious silence in the US media…But it’s being called the Al-Aqsa attack…
I thought a Youtube video made them do it.
It was a cartoon weather balloon with Mohammed’s face on it.
I think this ENTIRE story, is a story designed to drive people into one of two clearly identifiable ideological corners.
The silence isn’t mysterious.
It sounds like another mind fuckery created by the Global Cabal Banksters.
BRICs finance burning a hole in their pockets?
Bingo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The rothchilds strike again.
Nice distraction for kike leader yahoo to continue his FORCED covid vaxxs for kikes and palies alike.
In addition ………..you got them meanie dunecoons attacking hospitals and day care centers and senior citizen centers like in kuwait.
Plus………this is the holy hymie “sukkot” holiday.
This is the one where elderly kikes in robes bite the dicks off babies.
Poor mercan democrats………gonna be in a dizzy all day thinking bout all the “crisises” !
U.S.S. LIBERTY. ‘Nuff said.
Why does not GAF about Israel, who intentionally killed USN Sailors, mean that person supports Hamas?
It **is** possible to not GAF about either of them.
It’s not our fight.
America should be arming and funding Hamas, instead of jewkraine and israel.
Just put it on the tab.
USSA funds everyone for maximum instability. Osama bin Laden was a big friend before he was the enemy.
Not one fucking cent for ANYONE outside of the country would be the proper position but not for the people who benefit from planned chaos and death.
Osama was just the heel.
Uncle Sam funds EVERYBODY just to stir the pot.
The moment I heard about this I thought surely we would see arms headed to Ukraine diverted to Hamas. This smacks of a typical deep state operation to initiate the limited nuclear exchanges they apparently crave.
Remember all the fake bullshit we saw on Twitter – X when Ukraine started ?
Snake Island ?
Ghost of Kiev ?
We should keep that in mind.
The Kraken!
how do you launch and deliver 5,000 missiles to a very small confined area and only kill 200 people?
More bullsh#t
They are not guided. Just tube launched. Kind of like long range mortars or big fireworks. There are videos online.
Large bottle rockets.
They are just doing another Lahaina usurpation. Everything we hear is crap. Plus it is a distraction from our own crimes against humanity at home. People are catching on to this wildfire b.s., but it might just as well be rockets…same result. It is all just this “I want what you have” agenda. This will make the coverup of the big corporate takeover of Lahaina so much easier. Reading the facts in the first five minutes, anyone with a brain could tell this was a planned event. Now we need to find out who the sacrificial dead and captives are. Probably Israeli undesirables. Just wait.
Finish the Gaza pretenders or surrender to them.
Iran recently received $6 billion in frozen assets held by the US due to Iran’s support of terrorist groups like Hamas .
Now suddenly Hamas has 5,000 missiles to shoot at Israel ???
So . . . . you’re saying we need to give more money to Iran?
The Israeli Left despises the Jewish State, very much akin to the AmeriKan Leftist vis-a-vis Christianity, as well as the same filth within the EU member states. The calls for revolution after the current gov’t merely submitted legislation saying that the Judiciary had no right to invoke a “not reasonable” edict to waive any law whatsoever, and to for its supreme court to name its own nominees without any legislative input. Top Israeli people like the former PM openly calling for revolution to “save democracy.” I assert, based on what I have been able to read, that the Israeli ruling class, the Ashkenzis are so depraved and hate the Sephardim and religious so profoundly, that they may have worked with the Arabs to give faulty intel to the current gov’t about a pending land, sea, and air attack…which has been almost entirely specifically targeting women and children.
and the CIA is taking notes.
That’s also what Jack Bernstein who married a Sephardic woman said.
I’m sure we will learn in a few years how fake and gay this war is too.
They fund all sides. ‘ Ashes where the bodies burning – As the War Machine keeps turning ‘
“strongest army in the world” even Jew women can be bigger wankers than Jew men. There is no moral defence of Israel.
The most plugged in and intimate friend of the U.S. military, DARPA, the CIA and FBI, MI5 and 6 is
The Shin Bet and Mossad; but they were “surprise attacked” by a bunch of goat fucking sand niggers 50 feet away?
The question now is why did the hebes LET this happen?
The answer is Pedo Joe’s puppet masters need a distraction from his
crackhead son and his looming prison sentence and his presidential cave in while DJT almost surely becomes president again. The hebes need our 4 billion dollars every year. Wag the fucking dog so save the sinking Dem/Uniparty/Deep State from MAGA.
You are so correct, but in light of your grossness turning off converts, please tone it down. We need you wisdom, not your crassness.
Some at TBP have been proffering, moaR like parroting the claim of 5,000 or even 7,000 rockets/missiles fired into Israel. I checked three English language Israeli media outlets just now, and the highest total I read was 2,200. Jpost, The Times of Israel, and YNetNews. But I get it, Hamas et. al. are well known for integrity, honesty, and the defense of Allah.
https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/defense-news/2023-10-07/live-updates-762053
And are the israelis — or the rest of the jews — any more well known for integrity, honest and the defense of God?
c’mon man, all’s that really impordant is the location of dem 57 virgin babes.
72 virgins. Don’t be trying to short me some virgins babes!
72 Virginian trannies!
https://nexusnewsfeed.com/article/geopolitics/89-of-our-senators-and-congress-hold-dual-citizenship-citizenship-with-israel/
So … in our Nation with about 2% jews … 17% of them have dual israel/US citizenship? How quaint …
And don’t forget all of the rest of our Congress critters and their annual grovel tours to israel to make sure that we don’t skimp on either giving them the ca$h that they want — or the most up-to-date defense equipment that they practically mandate that we give them every year.
Wag that dog.
“What the world needs now is war sweet war….”
Wake the fuck up folks.
Our world is about to implode, but at least we have a “war” to distract us.
Mossad and Shin Bet missed this widely “coordinated attack?”
The best intelligence apparatus on earth with spies everywhere in Hamas?
Tell me more lies and let me laugh at those too.
and pretty soon we’ll be hearing Old Joe spinning tales about how he couldn’t do his job as a lifeguard because all the Delaware chicks surrounded him and were twerking to get his attention and he couldn’t see any of the kids in the swimming pool.
As always … follow the money … and the power.
When jews distrust their own kind, we Gentiles should be listening with rapt attention … as sure as God made little green apples, these bullies will get to US in short order.
What these articles all fail to mention is that the israelis are backed up in intelligence and surveillance by the United States of America … with virtually any and all of our own intelligence assets and information at their disposal …
When in doubt about any of the intentions of the israelis … just remember the USS Liberty … what they intentionally did to US (including murdering more than 170 of our military) and how everyone from LBJ on down backed up the jews against We The People …
Beware of this “Palki Sharma” from India. She works for a massive propagandist Hindu Nationalist channel. Indian media is ranked 161/180 on World Press Freedom Index.
CNN is the channel all good citizens should trust. Right?
So, no more dancing IDF girl tik tok videos for a while?
You should have have been upvoted 100x
I wish i could remember the name of the book. It was written by an ex US general i believe. The war after next maybe? It covers exactly what is going on right now in the world. I read it maybe seven years ago. The use of drones and how they would be used etc all in that book. If this current state is truly following the book, expect two small nukes detonated on US soil within a year, heavy electronic warfare as well, uselessness of jet fighters, theres alot in there.
Hamas found to be using weapons that Ukraine sold for big cash to Hamas to use against Israel. The circle of corruption circles back. Too funny
Aaaahaha….that is so K–kish. Nothing surprises me anymore. You can be sure the murder and corporate takeover of Maui is all part of this as well. And it will expand, so beware!
It could be a False Flag orchestrated by Israel., who is governed by Freemasons.
Israel and Arabs and Muslims are The Enemy , close the border and deport or execute all illegal invaders and their families born here illegally . Then Declare War on The USA’s real Enemy , Mexico , and utterly destroy it .
A rifle in your hands is worth more than government promises of protection whether the government is Israeli or American.
