Dear A.,


The bodies of two hostages — Eden Zacharia (27) and Ziv Dado (36) — taken by Hamas on October 7 were recovered by Israeli Special Forces today in a tunnel deep in Gaza. Hamas is still holding 135 hostages captive, including 19 who are presumed dead.


The IDF operation in Gaza to return the kidnapped Israelis, destroy Hamas’ capabilities, and drive the terror group from power pressed forward today, as the military uncovered more Hamas terror tunnels, bomb factories, and weapons hidden inside civilian buildings.


"The extent of the terror infrastructure developed by Hamas in Gaza is enormous," said IDF Spokesperson Lt. Col. Richard Hecht. "But we're also making significant progress. We're destroying the tunnels, confiscating weapons including rockets, taking apart command and control centers and engaging terrorists at close quarters."


In one house, Israeli soldiers

uncovered Israeli medical documents among a cache of weapons. The documents reveal that the child living in the home was treated for cancer by Israeli doctors, while his father used the house to stash weapons to kill Israelis.

"Until they get rid of Hamas"


President Biden reaffirmed American support for Israel’s operation. Speaking today at a fundraiser, the president

said , "there’s no question about the need to take on Hamas. There’s no question about that…they have every right." Biden went on to say, "we’re not going to do a damn thing other than protect Israel…not a single thing."

Israel increases aid capacity; Hamas steals aid


As intense fighting continues, Israel is doubling its capacity to transfer aid to Gaza’s civilians.


This morning, Israel re-opened the Kerem Shalom Crossing — which Hamas destroyed on October 7 — and screened 197 humanitarian aid trucks before they were transferred to Gaza. An additional 117 trucks were inspected at the Nitzana crossing. Once the trucks are screened, the U.N. is responsible for distributing the aid — but is failing to keep up with the quantity.

New video surfaced today of Hamas hijacking the aid and shooting civilians in the process. Watch the video here:
