In the first week of the ground entry, the IDF lost 21 soldiers.

The Golani Brigade lost 82 officers and soldiers; the Givati Brigade lost 32, the Nahal Brigade lost 31 soldiers, 25 paratroopers were killed as well. The commando brigade, which consists of the three commando units Egoz, Maglan, and Duvdevan, lost 26 of its soldiers.

Shlomo and Moshe were sworn enemies, they were fighting over who would take over an evicted palestinians home
and the slightest wrong word was sure to set them off. As luck would have it they both ended up at the local barbershop at the same time. As they sat there, each being worked on by a different barber, not a word was spoken. The barbers were even afraid to start any conversation, for fear that they would argue and would wreck the place. When the barber who was working on Shlomo finished his shave, he reached for the aftershave. “No aftershave”, said Shlomo, “my wife will smell it and think that I’ve been inside a brothel.” The other barber turned to Moshe and asked, “How about you Moshe do you want aftershave?
” Sure, go ahead.” Said Moshe “my wife doesn’t know what the inside of a brothel smells like.”…..
just remember Hamas are fighting for us as well as palestine
we need to support them in their efforts
thanks lads
“Here you are, Jews, have a country and a trillion pounds for your Holocaust pains; make yourselves comfortable at last”– “What? I want to kill, that’s what I like!”
Yeah right, more Israeli/Mossad lies reporting that more than ‘500 fictitious dead Jews were killed’ by ‘Hamas’ to convince the world that this conflict is real & to justify their demolition of Gaza..Notice no proof for any of this i.e. corpses, just the word of the IDF and the Yids, & you know how honest these ghouls are.
Reporting Gaza casualties as October 7 casualties. Who didn’t expect that.
World Unite!
Expel the Dirty Kike!
