GET READY, WE’RE 3 DAYS FROM A MAJOR BATTLE IN THE SOUTH

The terrorist organization (Terrorstan) must be defeated. There’s no room for compromise or further futile negotiations. The terror will only end when Gaza is free from Hamas. <br><br>The attack we suffered last October was the biggest failure of our preparedness to date. It cannot be repeated. Normally, Israel is the strong & mighty country that everyone around us fears but this time we were the victims. Our innocent people were slaughtered. Our children, our elderly, our mothers and fathers, our soldiers, our neighbors, our friends, they were all brutally murdered by these damned terrorists. <br><br>We must never forget that this was not an attack by a sovereign nation but by the terror regime in Gaza. The people of Gaza are being used as human shields by their terror regime, just as they have been used as hostages for the last 17 years. We can never tolerate any more innocent Israeli victims while we continue to supply their terrorist regime with everything they need on a daily basis and continue to ask the world for permission to defend ourselves.<br><br>Here’s what we’re expecting to unfold in the next 72 hours:<br><br>• The IDF will start to evacuate the residents of the Gaza periphery towns and move them to safer areas further in the interior of the country. It may seem counterintuitive but the towns closest to Gaza might be the most dangerous places to stay during this battle due to the proximity of the enemy. The Israeli government is already working on securing safe shelter for the returning residents of kibbutzim, towns, and cities in the line of fire, as well as hotels and hostels for residents who want to temporarily relocate and move away from the combat zone.<br><br>• The air raid sirens will sound. A lot. Be ready. The sirens have been tested extensively over the past few days. They will sound in towns and areas further away than ever before. If you hear the siren, please seek shelter immediately. The Home Front Command (Pikud Haoref) app is available in English and offers easy to understand instructions, so please download it if you haven’t already.<br><br>• Our Air Defense Aerial Defense Array is the best in the world, even if some hit their mark two months ago. If you hear an explosion, it’s likely the intercept. We can’t ensure that 100% of them are intercepted every time but we can say that the chances of this are extremely high. <br><br>• Our military is incomparable. The IDF is the people, and the people are the IDF. We’re a small nation with citizens who are all soldiers. When those citizens are parents who’ve had their children slaughtered in front of their eyes, the motivation on the part of the soldiers is high. We trust our soldiers and commanders with our lives. They know exactly what they are doing. <br><br>• We expect casualties in the coming battle. But we will not give up. We cannot give up. We have nowhere else to run and we have nowhere else to go. We have no other country. We will not rest until our streets are safe and our enemies are wiped out from the face of the earth. <br><br>• This is our country. We are not a group of frustrated citizens who run to our social media platforms to vent out our feelings when things go wrong. We are militarily trained from a young age. We are all soldiers. The street cleaner, the postman, the lawyer, etc… We are all soldiers. And we are all united.<br><br>• We have the world on our side. When our troops go to war, they won’t be going alone. The world is finally beginning to understand that what is happening here is not Israel against the poor Palestinians. The world is beginning to understand that this is an existential war between two forces. On one side we have the forces of good, namely Israel defending its residents and our right to exist. On the other side we have the forces of evil, namely radical Islam that cannot accept that its neighbour does not practicse Sharia law. The world is beginning to understand that the enemy we are facing here is not only our enemy. The enemy that we are facing is the enemy of the free world and of the West. If we fail, then we will fail together. If we win, we will be the champions of the West.<br><br>• We are one Front. The citizens of the countries that desire to live in peace together with Israel are part of the same front as Israelis. The soldiers in the trenches are our soldiers. We cannot thank you enough for the love, warmth, support and prayers we’ve received from you all. Your support is the wind beneath our wings. We can’t receive your physical support but with your support we feel stronger and more resilient. Your support makes us invincible. <br><br>• The Israeli people believe in its forces. A few days ago, we all suffered a traumatic event. But the resilience of the Israeli people is admirable. If we continue to stay strong, we will win. The outcome of this battle cannot be written in advance and nothing is guaranteed. But if we continue to be strong, with the help of the prayers we’re receiving from all over the world and with the immense support we’re receiving from you, the people of the free world, then we have nothing but victories to receive.<br><br>We are ready, and we will not be interrupted.
