What many thought impossible just a year ago continues to become reality on a daily basis in both the Gaza Strip and southern Lebanon as the forces of anti-Israel jihadism crumble. Hezbollah and Hamas, terrorist armies that many previously argued couldn’t really be defeated, are today but hollow shells of their former selves.
Over the past several weeks, the IDF observed Hamas reestablishing a command and control center in the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza. The response was a total success for the Israeli military, and an utter failure for the Palestinians.
Moving back into the hospital was of course an attempt to frame Israel for “war crimes” by luring the IDF into killing civilians.
But that didn’t happen because the IDF spent weeks transferring up to 350 of the hospital’s patients and medical personnel to another nearby medical facility (the Indonesian Hospital), while simultaneously keeping Kamal Adwan fully supplied.
Over the weekend, Israeli troops moved in, capturing no fewer than 240 terrorists and arresting several hospital officials suspected of collaborating with Hamas.
Not a single Israeli soldier was lost.

Hezbollah defanged
Meanwhile the IDF at the weekend showcased a shocking stockpile of 85,000 Hezbollah weapons confiscated over the past three months of operations across southern Lebanon.

“The confiscated weapons were used by Hezbollah to attack Israeli civilians and were intended to be deployed as part of Hezbollah’s ‘Conquer the Galilee’ invasion plan,” the IDF said in a statement.
Hezbollah’s military capabilities have been significantly degraded as a result of the ground operation, added the military.
The IDF showcased anti-aircraft guns mounted on jeeps, hundreds of advanced anti-tank missiles, shortened and modern Kalashnikov rifles, heavy machine guns, shells, sniper rifles, explosive devices of different sizes, and more. The exhibition also featured NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) masks used to fight in conditions of gas and smoke, and Go-Pro cameras intended to document an invasion of the Galilee.
