🚨 BREAKING: Lebanese Branch of Hamas' Al-Qassam Claims Responsibility for Border Attacks on Israel.
Here are the main points from their statement:
"In support of Al-Aqsa and the sanctities and the Mujahideen in the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood, and following the path of Jihad and resistance..."
"The elite martyrs group of Al-Qassam Brigades - Lebanon... advanced towards occupied Palestine and engaged with the Zionist enemy army and safely withdrew."
"On the morning of Saturday... managed to blow up the border fence and target the observation post and infiltrate into occupied Palestine near the settlement of 'Margaliot.'"
"During the confrontation, the enemy's aircraft targeted our Mujahideen, leading them to meet their Lord as martyrs."
"We pledge to God to be faithful to the blood of our righteous martyrs and to continue on the path of Jihad and resistance until victory and liberation."
"Whether it's Jihad or martyrdom, it is for the sake of victory..."

🚨JUST IN: Disputes Within Israeli Government Over Gaza Ground Invasion
“A Ground Operation in Gaza Could Be Hell for Untrained Reserve Soldiers." - Israeli Colonel
This warning comes as Israel's government grapples with internal disagreements over the depth of a ground entry into Gaza.
Additionally, Biden met both Israel's Netanyahu and Palestine's Abbas today:
1. Netanyahu emphasizes the need for "unity and determination" to achieve Israel's combat objectives
i.e. The ground operation will happen
2. Abbas reaffirms his unwavering stance against the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza.
i.e. The ground operation should not happen
So much for diplomacy 😔
Is there ANY CHANCE that the ground attack does not go forward?

🚨BREAKING: FRANCE WANTS TO CENSOR HAMAS CHANNEL
Earlier today, Meta deleted the largest Palestinian news page, Quds News Network, after operating for more than 10 years.
Now, the French Broadcasting Company "Eutelsat" made a request to ban Hamas’ Al-Aqsa Channel from all media.
Hamas just put out a statement “strongly opposing the block”, calling it a deliberate attempt to prevent information about what’s happening in Gaza from reaching citizens in France.
They call this a “deliberate Zionist actions against media covering Gaza's atrocities.”
This is tricky. I’ve always opposed censorship, however Hamas is considered a terrorist organization in France.
On the flip side, there is almost no media coverage in Gaza, so who can tell their side of the story and report on what's happening on the ground?
Is it fair to censor the Al-Aqsa Channel, or should people have access to all media and decide which to consume?
🚨BREAKING: Iran sent a message to Israel via the UN stressing that it does not want further escalation in the Hamas-Israel war, but that it will have to intervene if the Israeli operation in Gaza continues.
MY THOUGHTS:
Iran getting involved is a red line no one should want to cross, unless you're Senator Graham.
It seems the world is trying to de-escalate, and trying to figure out how far Israel should go in response to the attacks by Hamas.
Where should the world draw the line on what an appropriate response should be?
Or, the more important question, where does IRAN draw that line?
