Israel Resumes Military Operations as Ceasefire Talks Collapse

The fragile 42-day ceasefire between Israel and Hamas officially collapsed Saturday night after negotiations for a second phase failed to materialize. Hamas rejected any extension of the ceasefire unless it resulted in a full Israeli withdrawal and an end to military operations—conditions Israel was never going to accept.

The fragile 42-day ceasefire between Israel and Hamas officially collapsed Saturday night after negotiations for a second phase failed to materialize. Hamas rejected any extension of the ceasefire unless it resulted in a full Israeli withdrawal and an end to military operations—conditions Israel was never going to accept.

Israel attempted to negotiate a compromise through U.S. presidential advisor Steve Witkoff, proposing that Hamas release half of the remaining hostages—including all deceased captives—before entering into discussions about a second phase. The second phase would have included further hostage releases and a shift toward de-escalation. However, Hamas refused to engage, effectively pushing Israel back into full-scale military operations.

Israel’s Military Strategy Moving Forward

Israel is showing no signs of backing down, with ten brigades positioned around Gaza and prepared for extended military operations. Reports indicate that Israel has no intention of pulling out until its objectives are met—namely, the complete decimation of Hamas' military capabilities.

A recently approved $3.5 billion U.S. weapons sale to Israel includes 35,000 Mark 84 bombs, each capable of leveling buildings with a blast radius of four football fields. Additionally, 300 D9 Caterpillar bulldozers—massive machines capable of demolishing infrastructure—are being added to the Israeli arsenal. These purchases indicate that Israel is preparing for a more destructive phase of operations in Gaza.

Terrorist Attacks and Growing Tensions

Meanwhile, Israel continues to face near-daily terrorist attacks. In Haifa, a 70-year-old man was killed in a stabbing attack inside a shopping mall, with several others injured before the attacker was neutralized. The assailant had recently returned from abroad before launching his assault. These attacks only serve to reinforce Israel’s resolve to eliminate threats within and outside its borders.

The Information War

While military operations continue, Israel is also battling a war of perception. International criticism over humanitarian aid restrictions has intensified, but Israel argues that Hamas is hoarding four to six months' worth of supplies in warehouses while claiming the population is starving. By cutting off aid, Israel is effectively putting pressure on Hamas to use its stockpiles or face responsibility for the suffering of Gazan civilians.

What Comes Next?

With Trump’s administration providing unwavering support, Israel now has a freer hand to execute its military strategy without political interference from Washington. Analysts predict that
, seeking to dismantle Hamas’ remaining strongholds. Meanwhile, tensions along the Lebanese borderremain high, with ongoing Israeli strikes targeting Hezbollah assets.

The next phase of this war appears to be a decisive push to eradicate Hamas—both militarily and structurally. The Israeli government seems committed to ensuring that Gaza is no longer a launching ground for future conflicts, even if that means completely reshaping the region.

Stay tuned for further updates as this situation continues to unfold.

Danny Danon absolutely destroys UN Relief official Tom Fletcher over his false claims — like the widely debunked “14,000 babies” narrative — and exposes how this kind of propaganda fuels deadly violence, like the murders of Sarah and Yaron.

Major revelation:
Danon accuses the UN of actively colluding with Hamas to block humanitarian aid — using mafia-style threats and even purging NGOs from the Shared Aid Database if they support the new aid delivery system.

Why China's Greatest Weapon May Be Its Willingness to Suffer

Let me ask you something: Have you ever been told you can’t buy something because you’ve hit your quota? That’s rationing—and here in America, it’s virtually unheard of. Sure, we had the great toilet paper panic of 2020, but that was more about hysteria than hardship. The truth is, we’ve grown used to convenience, comfort, and instant gratification.

That comfort could become a liability.

Because over in China, the people are enduring hardship—and not by accident. They’re preparing for war. And while Americans are busy customizing their next coffee order, China is building warships, digging bomb shelters, and getting ready to go toe-to-toe with the West. This isn’t fearmongering—it’s fact.


Hardship Builds Readiness

During World War II, Americans made real sacrifices. Ration books. Victory gardens. No new cars, refrigerators, or even typewriters. Every scrap of wool, steel, and fuel was repurposed for the war effort. Why? Because we knew what was at stake. It was a total war, and we fought it with total resolve.

That unity, that resolve, is exactly what gave us the edge. America didn’t just outfight our enemies—we outproduced them. Industry, grit, and sacrifice won the day.

Now ask yourself: Could we do that today?

The FAKE FAMINE in Gaza EXPOSED: Hamas Caught Hoarding Aid!

Where Are the Women and Children?

We’ve been watching the so-called "aid distribution" in Gaza unfold, and it raises a serious question: where are the women and children? Nearly every image shows military-age men grabbing supplies. The IDF’s new aid program—intended to bypass Hamas and deliver food directly to Gazan families—has been chaotic but surprisingly effective. It’s also revealing just how deep the corruption runs.

Yes, Hamas has tried to stop people from accessing the aid. But the people are getting bolder. They’re breaking through checkpoints, pushing past barriers, and taking what they need. Why? Because they know the American contractors running the aid stations aren’t going to shoot them. That’s led to the distribution of over 1.3 million meals per day.
