Hamas Chief's Bunker Loaded With UN Food, Millions in Cash, Weapons and More

"The one constant in the entire "Islamist terrorist" issue is that their leaders 1) never place
themselves in any direct danger, although sometimes danger in the form of the
Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) manages to find them anyway, and 2) they generally live in wealth and luxury while their fighters and the people forced to live in areas they control are in misery.
The soldier giving the tour, who was not named, showed off a bag of food with the label of the embattled United Nations Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA) group.
Hamas has been repeatedly accused of stealing rations from the international agency, which hands out supplies to Gaza’s nearly two million refugees.
At the back of the bunker was a small room reserved for the Hamas chief, with a large safe beside his bed containing “millions” of shekels — the Israeli currency."

IDF Soldiers Kill Palestinian Terrorists in Jordanian Uniforms

"Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers killed two Palestinian terrorists who infiltrated into the country across the eastern border, wearing Jordanian military uniforms. Two Israeli soldiers
were wounded in the exchange. The military said IDF troops killed two
terrorists who infiltrated Israeli territory near the Jordanian border while ground and aerial searches were underway for an additional terrorist who had probably fled the scene.
An observation soldier saw the terrorists cutting the fence with a wirecutter and declared a “Parash Turki,” a codeword meaning infiltration through the fence. … The terrorists opened fire with Glock pistols as the IDF force charged at them. They hit one soldier in the leg and one in the buttocks. One terrorist was killed about 30 yards from the jeep, the other managed to make it to the jeep and died on its hood."

What It Will Take To End The War In Ukraine -- The end of this war awaits the U.S. election

"The apparent reason is that the Ukrainians
still expect to expel the
Russians from Ukraine, including the Crimea, and Russia still purports to aspire to the complete absorption of Ukraine back into Russia, where it was for 300 years.
Following the shambles of the
American and allied efforts in Afghanistan, and the general air of enfeeblement of the United States, President Putin executed his grand step to take his historic place with Peter the Great, Catherine the Great, and Stalin who expanded the Russian state and the influence of Russia in Europe.
The reason we have not got to this conclusion yet is that the United States hasn’t been pushing for it. The Ukrainian government is prepared to go on with the casualties, so America will fight on with it to the last Ukrainian.
Former President Trump has recognized that in addition to preserving Ukraine and its independence, the goal is to create conditions where a post-war Russia can be gradually enticed out of the arms of China.
A durable intimate alliance of those two countries could be strategically dangerous, as well as the practical end of Russia’s independence. For a year after the peace, Ukrainians could move to Russia or the revised borders of Ukraine, and a non-aggression agreement could be made between Russia and NATO.
The end of this war awaits the U.S. election, 
which will effectively determine the terms.
