Iran-Backed Terror Group ‘Declare War’ on Israel After Reported Killing of Saudi Troops

Ansar Allah, the Yemeni Shiite jihadist terror organization known more commonly as the Houthis, took responsibility on Monday for a “large number of ballistic and cruise missiles” as well as drone attacks against the nation of Israel.

The Iranian state outlet Mehr News reported that a spokesman for the Houthis formally “declare[d] war” on the nation of Israel in support of the Sunni genocidal terrorist organization Hamas.

The Houthis are an Iran-backed terrorist organization that seized control of the capital of Yemen, Sana’a, in 2014 and ousted legitimate President Abd-Rabbo Mansour Hadi, triggering a civil war that remains ongoing, albeit in a ceasefire state, at press time. The group’s slogan is “Allahu akbar, death to the United States, death to Israel, curse the Jews, victory for Islam.” Despite Ansar Allah’s direct ties to the world’s most prolific state sponsor of terrorism, Iran, and its stated goal of destroying America, the administration of leftist President Joe Biden removed the Houthis from the official U.S. government list of foreign terrorist organizations as one of his first acts in office in February 2021.

The formal declaration from the Houthis that they had begun a terror assault targeting Israel followed a report published in Bloomberg revealing that the Houthis had also started attacking Saudi Arabia directly again despite the ongoing truce, reportedly killing four Saudi soldiers.

Saudi Arabia is a Sunni Muslim state — a longtime rival of Houthi patrons Iran —and granted Hadi refuge when the Yemeni civil war began, making the country a prime target for Houthi terrorism. Prior to the current alleged truce, the Houthis repeatedly used drones and missiles to bomb Saudi targets across the border, preferring to attack oil facilities in an attempt to limit Saudi oil profits. In early 2022, Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia were so numerous that Riyadh warned the world it could not guarantee a steady supply of oil if the bombings continued.

China Wipes Israel From Digital Map

Chinese companies Baidu and Alibaba removed the name of the state of Israel from their digital maps Tuesday, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported.

Although Baidu’s map demarcates the internationally recognized borders of Israel, including key cities and the Palestinian territories, Israel is not listed by name, the outlet reported. Alibaba’s map identifies less recognizable countries like Luxembourg while excluding a label for Israel.

While social media users recently noticed the absence of Israel on Chinese maps, it is unknown whether this is a new development, according to the outlet. However, China has been diplomatically ambiguous in the region amid Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks against Israel. . .

China’s foreign ministry responded to a question from a Reuters reporter during a press conference Tuesday inquiring whether they played a part in removing the label of Israel from the companies’ maps.

“I believe you are aware that China and Israel have a normal diplomatic relationship,” ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said. “The relevant country is clearly marked on the standard maps issued by the Chinese competent authorities, which you may refer to,” Wenbin said.

Is Turkey Joining War Against Israel? (VIDEO)

Turkey’s Islamist President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is blasting Israel as a “war criminal to the world” that is committing an “open and despicable massacre” against Gazans, in a fiery, pro-Hamas speech at a massive rally in Istanbul organized by his AKP Party.

Erdogan, a longtime defender of Hamas who rejects the Western powers’ classification of Hamas as a terrorist organization, has ramped up his rhetoric against the Jewish state following Israel’s declaration of war and retaliatory campaign against Hamas terrorists, who reportedly killed 1,400 Israelis – including many civilians – in a surprise attack Oct. 7.

Earlier last week, Erdogan called Hamas “freedom fighters” and cancelled a planned trip to Israel.

At the pro-Palestinian rally in Istanbul attended by hundreds of thousands, Erdogan questioned Israel’s historic claim to their Middle East homeland: “Hey Israel, how did you come here? How did you enter here?” he asked rhetorically to the flag-waving throng. “You are an occupier. You are an organization. The Turkish people know this,” he said. “Israel, we will declare you as a war criminal to the world.”

Jean-Pierre Refuses to Call Anti-Israel Protestors ‘Extremists’ Despite Fear Among Jewish Students (VIDEO)

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday refused to call anti-Israel protestors on college campuses across America “extremists,” despite antisemitic rhetoric, violence, and rising fear among Jewish students.

The exchange took place during the White House press briefing when Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked Jean-Pierre over whether President Biden saw those protestors as “extremists.”

“What I can say is — what we’ve been very clear about this when it comes to antisemitism, there is no place. We have to make sure that we speak against it very loud and be very clear about that,” Jean-Pierre said, adding that Biden decided to run for president in 2017 as a result of the violent Charlottesville, Virginia protest clash that year.

“He saw neo-Nazis marching down the streets of Charlottesville with vile, anti-Semitic, just hatred. And he was very clear then, and he’s very clear now. He’s taken actions against this over the past two years. And he’s continued to be clear: There is no place, no place for this type of vile — and this kind of rhetoric,” she said. . .

“I have been very, very clear. We are calling out any form of hate, any form of hate. It is not acceptable. It should not be acceptable here. And we are going to continue to call that out,” she said, again refusing to say whether the protestors were “extremists.” (Read more from “Jean-Pierre Refuses to Call Anti-Israel Protestors ‘Extremists’ Despite Fear Among Jewish Students (VIDEO)” HERE)

Israel Pushes Deeper Into Gaza Ahead of Full-Scale Ground Invasion as Tanks Are Seen Deployed Along Northern Border

Israeli troops and tanks pushed deeper into northern Gaza Monday ahead of an expected full-scale ground invasion to destroy Hamas and rescue hostages — as one captured Israel Defense Forces (IDF) solider was saved during an overnight mission.

Video released Monday shows Israeli tanks being deployed past the northern border, moving among buildings as soldiers enter homes in Gaza.

Tanks also blocked a key road linking northern Gaza to the south, the Times of Israel reported.

The major ground advance puts Israel in “a position where they can observe and control what is coming in and out of Gaza City,” Michael Knights, a military analyst at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, told the Wall Street Journal.

“Now they have the ability to let people out — ideally what they will be doing with civilians — while also preventing Hamas from resupplying it,” he added. (Read more from “Israel Pushes Deeper Into Gaza Ahead of Full-Scale Ground Invasion as Tanks Are Seen Deployed Along Northern Border” HERE)

Biden Is Upping the Odds That Israel Will Lose

For all its headline support of Israel as the IDF moves to eliminate Hamas, the Biden administration is sticking to its pre-Oct. 7 approach to the Middle East — and so effectively working toward Israel’s defeat.

For starters, the Biden team still refuses to admit that Iran is pulling the strings of what Tehran calls the “Axis of Resistance”: Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza and the West Bank, Hezbollah in Lebanon and other Iranian proxies across the region.

This, when both The Wall Street Journal and New York Times have reported what US intelligence must also know: Top Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps officers helped plan the Oct. 7 attacks and coordinate followup strategies for the entire “Axis.” . . .

The Bidenites’ willful denial isn’t just a public-relations move: They’re still plainly worried about “provoking” Iran, imagining they can somehow get past this current crisis so they can get back to appeasing the mullahs.

National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan even admits that they’re not breaking with the approach that he’d bragged (just days before Hamas’ attacks) had “de-escalated crises in Gaza” and made the region “quieter than it has been for decades.” (Read more from “Biden Is Upping the Odds That Israel Will Lose” HERE)

Biden State Department Dodges Question on Whether U.S. Will Take Gaza Refugees

State Department spokesman Matthew Miller dodged a question Monday about whether the United States would take in refugees from Gaza.

Israel urged residents of Gaza to evacuate on Oct. 13, citing the potential for ground operations against Hamas by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman of New York called on the Biden administration to accept refugees from Gaza on Oct. 14, even though The Washington Post and Reuters reported that Arab countries have so far been unwilling to take in refuges from Gaza.

“Will the U.S. allow Gazan refugees to enter the United States?” a reporter asked Miller. “Are there plans to Gazan refugees into the U.S.?” “We believe that the people of Gaza want to stay in Gaza,” Miller responded, adding, “That’s what we’ve consistently heard from Palestinian leadership and others in the region, and we believe that they have the right to do so.”

Israel is carrying out military operations in response to a deadly terrorist attack carried out by the radical Islamic terrorist group on multiple locations in southern Israel on Oct. 7, killing over 1,400 people, including at least 31 Americans, according to Reuters. President Joe Biden announced a $100 million aid package for Gaza on Oct. 18, less than two weeks after Israel began military operations against Hamas.

Man Arrested After Allegedly Threatening Jewish U.S. Senator: ‘We’re Gonna Finish What Hitler Started’

A Nevada man was arrested last week in connection to allegedly issuing ominous and antisemitic threats to a U.S. senator in the wake of Hamas’s bloody terror attack on Israel, according to a criminal complaint.

ABC7 reported:

John Anthony Miller, 43, allegedly began making the calls to the unnamed female senator on Oct. 11, four days after Israel’s war with Hamas began. […] While the senator is not named in the complaint, Sen. Jacky Rosen is Jewish, and Miller’s threats repeatedly seek to tie the lawmaker’s support for Israel to what he says is her Jewish background.

Miller is accused of leaving a voicemail with Rosen’s office on October 17th, court documents said.

“All these f**g lies is in your fucking hands.. and I’m gonna f**g see you soon,” Miller allegedly warned. “You just f**g woken up a motherf**g monster, you f**g piece of s**, un-human, subhuman, you’re vermin… we’re gonna finish what Hitler started.” (Read more from “Man Arrested After Allegedly Threatening Jewish U.S. Senator: ‘We’re Gonna Finish What Hitler Started’” HERE)

IDF Vows to Destroy Hamas’ 300-Mile Tunnel Network as Terrorists Boast of ‘Thousands of Traps’ Underground

Dramatic new video released by Israel on Sunday reveals how Hamas uses its biggest advantage against the Israeli army — a remarkably complex maze of tunnels — to transport terrorists and weapons across Gaza.

The chilling footage also features Yahya Sinwar, Hamas’ political leader, touting the 300-mile underground network’s sprawling reach and boasting that it is filled with “hundreds and thousands of traps.”

The Israeli Defense Forces, which released the video, slammed the booby-trapped tunnels as a cowardly tactic used by Hamas to hide behind “millions of civilians,” as several of their entrances lie inside homes, schools, mosques and hospitals.

The IDF has vowed to decimate the network ahead of an expected all-out invasion of Gaza to destroy the terrorist group and rescue more than 200 hostages.

“Destroying Hamas means destroying their tunnel network of terror,” the IDF said. (Read more from “IDF Vows to Destroy Hamas’ 300-Mile Tunnel Network as Terrorists Boast of ‘Thousands of Traps’ Underground” HERE)

Netanyahu Says Israel Has Moved Into ‘Second Stage’ of War, Adds ‘We Will Be the Victors’

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the Jewish state during a Saturday address that the military has moved into a “second stage” of the ongoing war against Hamas, which reportedly includes mobilizing ground forces into Gaza.

The Israeli leader noted that the conflict is a fight for the survival of the country, adding that the war would only get more intense once the ground invasion of the territory sets in, according to the Associated Press.

Israel’s invasion into Gaza comes after Hamas terrorists launched a surprise attack on the Jewish state on October 7, where hundreds of Jews were slaughtered and many more were abducted, raped, and tortured.

Netanyahu said that “[t]here are moments in which a nation faces two possibilities: to do or die.” He went on to suggest that the country now faces “that test and I have no doubt how it will end: We will be the victors. We will do and we will be the victors.”

Netanyahu went on to suggest that the current conflict is the “second War of Independence,” adding that the Jewish state is “only at the beginning.” The Israeli leader’s comments were followed up by Defense Minister Yoav Gallant’s own comments, stating that “[t]his will not be a short war,” according to the Wall Street Journal.
