Each terror organization took control of different hospital wards, intelligence has revealed. As more details emerge from the Israel Defense Force’s surprise raid on Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, which began on March 19, one thing has become clear: Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad absorbed a painful setback that will have strategic reverberations on their capabilities in northern Gaza. The IDF has categorized the raid as one of its most successful operations in the entire war, due to the number of terrorists who surrendered, the number of terrorists killed in the hospital complex, and the intelligence gleaned from those being…

U.S. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby stressed the need to protect the noncombatants in Rafah. The Israel Defense Forces has begun isolating Rafah in southern Gaza and has started taking steps to evacuate the city’s civilian population, Channel 12 reported on Wednesday. The moves come despite intensifying international opposition to a ground operation in the last Hamas stronghold, which Jerusalem says is necessary to defeat the terrorist organization. The final four Hamas battalions, comprising some 3,000 terrorists, are holed up in the city, according to Israel. There are also well over a million Gazans sheltering in Rafah, causing concern…

Is Louis Vuitton really taking sides in the Israel-Hamas war by selling an $820 T-shirt with a graphic logo in the colors of the Palestinian flag? Some people on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict believe the answer is yes, after a shirt with the LV logo in magenta, green, black and white hit shelves—and social media—this week. Critics of the shirt say the colors in the logo appear to have been drawn from the colors of the Palestinian flag or a watermelon, an emergent symbol of Palestinian nationalism given its color. Some have associated it with an inverted red…

73 percent of Jewish student respondents ‘feel less safe’ since Oct. 7, and 65 percent said BDS resolutions passed by universities pose a threat to Jewish campus life everywhere. Overwhelming majorities of Jewish students feel less safe at their colleges and universities amid an explosion of antisemitism across US campuses since Hamas’ massacre across southern Israel on Oct. 7, according to new survey results released by the Israel on Campus Coalition (ICC), a nonprofit that promotes education about the Jewish state. As previously reported by The Algemeiner, the atrocities of Oct. 7 emboldened anti-Zionist activists, who have doubled down on…

Canada will cease future arms sales to Israel, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly told The Toronto Star on Tuesday. The Trudeau government is making the move to support Hamas over Israel despite the fact that a motion passed on Monday by the Canadian Parliament called for such action is non-binding. The motion was drafted by members of the extreme left New Democrats party. “It is a real thing,” Joly said. Her assertion was confirmed on Tuesday by Foreign Ministry Parliamentary Secretary Robert Oliphant. Canada is the first of Israel’s Western allies to make such a move and Israeli officials fear…

Double-checking the data with independent verification will be impossible due to the lack of independent sources in Gaza. Professor Abraham Wyner showed that the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry has been “faking” casualty numbers, in an article for Tablet Magazine on March 7. A professor of Statistics and Data Science at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, Wyner provided a detailed analysis of the data from the Gaza Health Ministry, which showed that they had, at the very minimum, been doctored—and at worst, completely faked. Wyner first tackles the total reported deaths, which he shows climbed by 270 plus or minus about 15% every day. This,…

In an interview with the BBC, Itay Regev, a former Hamas hostage freed in late November, shared harrowing details of his captivity experience. Regev, kidnapped from the Nova music festival on October 7, described his captors as “very, very vicious” and recounted the brutal treatment he received.
