🇮🇱/🇱🇧 Israeli army chief of staff visits the northern command, says war isn't easy

Today (Wednesday), the Chief of Staff Major General Hartzi Halevi visited the reserve brigade “Hatis Hash” (551) exercise to prepare for the war in the north (Lebanon)

He was accompanied by the Commander of the Northern Command, Major General Uri Gordin, the Commander of the infantry, Major General Tamir Yaday, the Commander of the National Land Training Center, Lieutenant Colonel Kobi Heller, the Commander of the 551st Brigade, Lieutenant Colonel Eido Kiss, and other commanders.

Halevi:
“Fighting in Gaza or in Lebanon requires perseverance. There are no easy achievements. We have to be more stubborn than the other side, much more stubborn. We look forward, but wait, and you will see that the path to safely returning the people of the northern border goes through a lot of talent and a lot of perseverance."

🗣️ The Israeli army says a drone "fell" in Beit Hillel, with no injuries and damage.

📝 What a bullshit tier statement every time they mention a drone. They purposely do not say impacted, they use fell and their journalist (clowns) use the word crashed.

No damage? not even to a tree?

📰 ‘How 2 debunked accounts of sexual violence on Oct. 7 fueled a global dispute over Israel-Hamas war’

«“It’s not that I invented a story,” [ZAKA volunteer] Otmazgin told AP, “I couldn’t think of any other option”

«Debunked accounts like Otmazgin’s have encouraged skepticism […] Some allege the accounts of sexual assault were purposely concocted. ZAKA officials and others dispute that. […]

«Still, it took ZAKA months to acknowledge the accounts were wrong.

U.S. media Associated Press releases an article on May ⁠22 that seems at times to excuse the fabulists of ZAKA—a Jewish rescue group whose founder Yehuda Meshi-Zahav (‘Haredi Jeffrey Epstein’) backed members who deny vital aid to ‘Arab terrorists’ & said: “Despite the ethical code which mandates the most injured victim be treated first, you must know morality has a limit […] The Jews brought morality to the world” (NB: such paramedics would stand idle until the person dies of their wounds)

Nonetheless, AP wrote on two of ZAKA's (and IDF's) fakes.

AP mentions the UN report of Feb ⁠14:

«The UN team investigating sexual violence [led by Pramila Patten] said it saw “credible circumstantial information which may be indicative of some forms of sexual violence, including genital mutilation, sexualized torture or cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.”

«That included photos and videos showing a minimum of 20 corpses with clothes that had been torn, revealing private body parts, and 10 bodies with indications of bound wrists and or tied legs. No digital materials showed sexual violence in real time»


In fact, Patten couldn't find a single image or frame proving an act of sexual violence, despite examining “more than 5,000 photographic images and 50 hours of video footage”. (All sources: oct7factcheck.com)

Patten however, who travelled “at the invitation of the Government of Israel”, conducted “33 meetings” with gov't officials & “34 confidential interviews with survivors, witnesses, released hostages and first responders”... of ZAKA and their kind.
