1. Home Front:
The Arab workers have not returned but the Garbage Disposal is working.
Bread comes in the late afternoon instead of the early morning.
The buses are working but very much less than on normal days.
Fewer people are traveling but most are continuing life as usual.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 2, Number of Terrorist dead bodies found in Israel reaches 1,500.
Up until now it was thought that only 1000 Hamas men had entered Israel. The number of dead bodies of Hamas has reached 1,500. Many of the Hamas returned to Gaza taking hostages with them before Israel managed to seal the border. The number of Hamas who entered Israel could therefore have been ca. 2000. They were all well-trained, well-armed,  and practiced,

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

3. Yair Davidiy: Food for Thought. it could be all of us!
The indiscriminate massacres of men, women, and children. The capture and abuse of women, etc, that we saw taking place at the Hands of Hamas
during their attacks on Israeli settlements were actually the work of relatively few Arabs operating in a small number of Jewish localities.
If, God forbid, the Arabs ever took over the whole of the country then the same thing, and even more so, would happen everywhere!

Part of the drones and rockets apparently came from Iran and possibly also from the Ukraine.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
4. Casualties.

Israel's Death Toll Rises to 1200.
 Israelis Urged to Prepare 72 Hours' Food, Water, Supplies.
At least 73 soldiers and 34 police officers are among the 800 Israelis who have died so far in the war.

In Kibbutz Beeri at least a 108 Jews were murdered.
Babies were murdered and decapitated in the captured settlements.

"Kfar Aza, a kibbutz near the Gaza border, where dozens of Israeli were murdered, including whole families shot dead in their bed, babies decapitated and mutilated, body parts strewn everywhere." 

NOVA Festival near Kibbut Re'em.

At the NOVA Festival more than 250 were killed and an uncertain number abducted.
"Women have been raped at the area of the rave next to their friends. bodies."
The witness added that some of the victims were immediately executed afterw  the assaults, while others were whisked away and presumably taken as hostages to the Gaza Strip, they said.

A rocket from Gaza struck a mosque in Abu Gosh near Jerusalem. Abu Gosh is populated by Muslims fromt he Caucasus and considered relatively loyal to Israel.

5. Niki Haley. Israel "a bright spot in a tough neighbourhood."

Israel is a great partner to us. It's a bright spot in a tough neighbourhood and too many people think that Israel needs America. That's not the case, America needs Israel. They are the front lines of defense for Iran. What we need to do is remind everybody hate is hate, whether it's racism, whether it's antisemitism. There is no place for it and it needs to be dealt with that way. The only way peace happens in the Middle East is if the US stands strongly and steadfastly with Israel. At the end of the day, it's about leadership, and America has to demonstrate that leadership, including absolute support for its allies like Israel.

6. Food for Thought. by Steven Shamrak. Transfer of Populations.

Extract:

The next time someone tells you that Israel can't transfer the enemy population from the Jewish land, please remind them about removal of ethnic Armenians, all 120K of them, from Nagorno-Karabakh by Azerbaijan in 2023; tens of million Ukrainians are displaced by Russia in a still proceeding war; 1.1 million Rohingya Muslims were forced to flee by Myanmar in 2017; ethnic cleansing that occurred during the Bosnian War (1992-95), when both Bosnians and Serbs were forced to leave their homes; partition of Indian peninsula, when some 12M people were moved between India and Pakistan in 1947. The population transfer has always been used successfully to resolve conflicts.

Massacre At Military College: Drones Kill Over 100 At Syria Event; Govt Bombs 20 Villages As Revenge
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stjyaEBplUU
A drone attack on a military college in Syria's Homs province during a graduation ceremony has killed at least 100 people and wounded 240 more, a war monitor and the Syrian health minister have said. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said more than 100 people were killed and 125 injured.

Syria's military earlier said drones laden with explosives targeted the ceremony on Thursday as it came to an end. In a statement, the military accused fighters 'backed by known international forces' for the attack.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres 'expressed deep concern' at the drone attack in Homs as well as 'reports of retaliatory shelling' in northwest Syria.

It is to noted that tyhe military cadets who were killed almost all belong tot he Alawi Racial Caste who rule over al of Syria even though they comprise only ca. 10% of the population.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Iran helped plan the Ishmaelite invasion and trained its participants.

8. Notes on Gaza.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Strip
With around 2 million Palestinians[12] on some 365 square kilometers, Gaza, if considered a top-level political unit, ranks as the 3rd most densely populated in the world.
The majority of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are descendants of refugees who fled or were expelled from the area that became Israel after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.

Israel maintains direct external control over Gaza and indirect control over life within Gaza: it controls Gaza's air and maritime space, as well as six of Gaza's seven land crossings. It reserves the right to enter Gaza at will with its military and maintains a no-go buffer zone within the Gaza territory. Gaza is dependent on Israel for water, electricity, telecommunications, and other utilities.[27] An extensive Israeli buffer zone within the Strip renders much land off-limits to Gaza's Palestinians.

In 2010 approximately 1.6 million people lived in the Gaza Strip, almost 1.0 million of them UN-registered refugees.

Sunni Muslims make up 99.8 percent of the population in the Gaza Strip

The official creed of Hamas advocates extremely strict adherence to Israel and the physical destruction of Israel.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
9. War with Hizbullah in Lebanon?
Last minutes reports say that Israelis were injured by artillery fired by Huzbollah in Lebanon.
The IAF (Israeli Air Force) is now bombing targets in Lebanon.
This may be a local incidnet or theon eing up of a new front.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
10. Families of 60 Hostages Notified in Israel. Others Remain Uncertain.
There remain  cases that are still not certain.
Israeli Bedouin including women and children were also taken hostage not all of whom have been identified.
So too foreign workers and foreign students were abducted and may still be alive.
