UPDATE ON OCTOBER 8 – 7 AM CEST
Israel bombs two mosques
Israeli warplanes have struck two mosques in the Gaza Strip that allegedly housed Hamas command centers used to direct the militant group’s ongoing major offensive.
Israel has cut off electricity service to the Palestinian territory and carried out dozens of air strikes against Hamas targets after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the country is at war with the militant group.
“Fighter jets attacked two operational infrastructures that were located in mosques and were used by the terrorist organization Hamas to direct terror against the state of Israel,” the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in an operational update posted early Sunday. The IDF claimed that Hamas was using the holy sites and the civilian population of the Gaza Strip to evade Israel’s response to the surprise attacks launched by the group on Saturday.
The PM vowed in a televised address on Saturday night to “take revenge for this black day” and turn all of the sites used by Hamas in the Gaza Strip into “ruins.”
Raphael Morav, Israel’s ambassador to Paris, told the French Europe 1 radio that his country was “not sufficiently prepared for it, we could even say barely prepared” for the attack by Hamas, according to Reuters.
Several experts interviewed by the Times of Israel came to the same conclusion, describing the surprise onslaught by Palestinian militants as Israel’s “intelligence failure.”
According to Israel’s public broadcaster Kan, 48 hostages have been rescued since the clashes began. Two people were freed by the Israeli forces in Ofakim after being held inside a home by a militant, it said.
Ofakim is one of the cities in southern Israel that was infiltrated by Hamas.

According to Israeli media, the IDF is still fighting with militants in the Be’eri kibbutz near the border with Gaza as of early Sunday morning. Be’eri was one of the settlements overrun by Hamas. Local residents and journalists continue to hear gunfire in the area.
The IDF announced that its fighter planes destroyed Hamas “operational” centers located inside two mosques in Gaza. The Israeli army said that the militants were using the shrines as cover while directing the ongoing attacks against the country.
Former US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy condemned Hamas. “Our strongest ally in the Middle East is under attack,” the Republican Congressman wrote on X (formerly Twitter), voicing support for Israel’s right to defend itself.

“They are telling me that this is their Pearl Harbor,” McCarthy told Fox News on Saturday. He was referring to the 1941 Japanese bombing raid on a US naval base in Hawaii, which triggered Washington’s entry into World War II.
German newspaper Bild, meanwhile, compared the sudden Hamas invasion to “Israel’s September 11,” referring to the 2001 terrorist attacks on US soil.
ARTICLE PUBLISHED ON OCTOBER 7 – 2 PM CEST
Hamas Revenge vs NaziZionist Bibi started Operation al-Aqsa Flood
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Israel is at war in his first comments after Palestinian armed group Hamas launched a major surprise attack on Israel earlier on Saturday.
The Times of Israeli said Palestinian fighters infiltrated the town of Sderot and other settlements.“At least 6 people were killed and nearly 200 injured, and some casualties were reported in Sderot,” the newspaper reports.
The toll rapidly rose to 100 killed and 908 injured among Israeli settlers.
The Palestinian guerrillas also took many hostages among Israeli civilians, it is estimated at least a hundred.
The Hamas ground and air attack that took Israel by surprise began in the early hours of October 6, exactly fifty years after the start of the Yom Kippur War (1973), an Arab military operation that initially it caught the Jewish state unprepared, to the point that it feared succumbing for a few days.
Israel at War
“Citizens of Israel, we are at war. And we will win,” Netanyahu said in a video address.
“The enemy will pay a price like they have never known before,” he vowed, referring to Hamas.
The number of victims of Israeli shelling attacks of the Gaza Strip has reached 198, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. On its Telegram channel, it said that 198 people had been killed. According to its data, as of now, 1,610 individuals have been wounded.
Before accusing Hamas of an unprecedented bloody terrorist attack as Atlanticist politicians and mainstream media do, certainly censorable in an ideal world where the killer missions of Turkish jihadists and American soldiers in Syria would also be condemned in the same way, the context must be understood where this latest tragedy is taking place.
The continuous Killer Missions ordered by Bibi
In fact, with the excuse of hunting down terrorists, for months the Israeli Army has been carrying out daily reprisals in the occupied territories of the West Bank, causing deaths among civilians, even during religious ceremonies.
Since returning to the government of Israel in 2022, Prime Minister Bibi has done nothing but try to open an internal war front with Palestinians in the Occupied Territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip but also with the neighboring countries of Lebanon and Syria which, not having a an air force minimally comparable to that of the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) were forced only to try to defend themselves with anti-missile systems.
Netanyahu always needs to trigger new conflicts both for the pragmatic reason of having the emergency excuse to ban the Israeli riots against the justice reform implemented to cover up the corruption investigations concerning him, and to convey to the Western world – which unfortunately supports the Israeli Zionists without ifs or buts – the fake image of a country victim of an eternal Shoah by Muslims.
This philosophy is the same that justified the birth of the State of Israel after the holocaust caused by the Nazis in Europe in a complicity between Adolph Hitler, of presumed Ashkenazi origins (the heirs of the Khazars who converted to Judaism despite not being of the Semitic race), and the Masonic West of the Rockefellers who financed it.
Why Rockefeller’s Standard Oil was Axis Ally of Hitler & Nazis
However, this rereading of history cannot be understood if we do not remember that the Zionist Political Movement (born in Europe from the Ashkenazim who are considered by Jewish historians to be the thirteenth tribe of Israel) obtained power of action in Palestine thanks to the Masonic alliance cemented with the Rothschilds in the Balfour Declaration of 1917 which allowed the Zionists to occupy the British colonies, creating the vulnerability of the first expropriations to the Arab populations who inhabited them.
NWO Zionist Lobby to Persecute Christians: Netanyahu in Jerusalem like Zelensky in Kiev
This is why in various articles we have compared Netanyahu to Hitler and defined his Nazi-Zionist ideology as that of the other Ashkenazi Zionist Volodymyr Zelensky.
The president of Ukraine was built by the British intelligence MI6 (since the Kiev Security Forum of 2007, protagonist of the geopolitical formation of the new generations of Ukrainians) in the shadow of NATO and the Zionist George Soros who financed the bloody coup in Kiev in 2014 and already in 1993 he predicted the development of the Atlantic Alliance in the future dimension of a New World Order.
NATO’s COUP IN UKRAINE: THE GENESIS – 2. Obama, Soros, MI6 & Kyiv Security Forum
This evolution has in fact materialized with the appointment as General Secretary of Jens Stoltenberg, representative of the Arms Lobby supported by Norge Banks and puppet of Bill Gates for whom he worked as director of the Gavi Alliance in the global immunization plan with vaccines presented in the center Rockefeller conferences at Villa Serbelloni (Bellagio, Lake Como).
The Nazi-Zionist Ideology of two NWO Warlords
In a few lines we have therefore summarized an international intrigue from which the license to kill was born for Zelensky, also using jihadists of ISIS and neo-Nazis of the Azov Battalion, and for Netanyahu using the 007s of the infamous Mossad and the power of a war arsenal guaranteed by Israeli arms corporations which, as far back as 2019, supplied the Tavor TAR-21 assault rifle, produced by IMI and adopted by the Israeli Defense Forces, to the Azov paramilitaries who idolized the Führer’s SS.
Bibi strikes the Earthquake Victims! Syria Accuses Israel of Deadly Missile on central Damascus
All these geopolitical implications allowed the Nazi-Zionist Bibi to be able to bomb Syria thousands of times, even after the terrible earthquake of February 2023, without the slightest interest from the International Criminal Court in The Hague (ICC), which also ignored the reports from Amnesty International on the war crimes of the Azov neo-Nazis, and from the UN: which has repeatedly called on Israel to respect the United Nations resolution which obliges it to leave the Syrian Golan Heights.
A similar distraction has occurred on the part of the international community towards the daily violations of human rights against Palestinians by the Israeli army.
“Israel must leave the Golan”. The UN’s slap against Trump and Bibi-Briberies
They represent continuous, meticulous and sinister provocations perpetrated precisely to obtain a reaction from Hamas and the resumption of a military clash in the hope of the Nazi-Zionist Führer Bibi to destroy every trace of the Palestinians in the Holy Land and resume the mad project of Greater Israel for the colonization of the Middle East.
It draws false inspiration from the Torah of the Orthodox Jews who in fact already lined up against Netanyahu in the previous war with the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip in May 2021.
It is no coincidence that Hamas’ furious reaction comes after the continuous operations of the Israeli police against Muslims in the mosque, the killing of a young Palestinian, the 19-year-old Labib Dumaidi, and the attack on his relatives and friends during his funeral.
This circumstance was highlighted only by Press TV, an Iranian information network, which wrote a detailed yet objective report (full article below) on the barrage of missiles launched by the Palestinian organization in Gaza against Israel in the “Flood” operation al-Aqsa”
Hamas’ armed wing said more than 5,000 rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip into Israel on Saturday, declaring it had started “Operation al-Aqsa Flood”.
“We decided to put an end to all the crimes of the occupation, their time for rampaging without being held accountable is over,” Hamas said. “We announce Operation al-Aqsa Flood and we fired, in the first strike of 20 minutes, more than 5,000 rockets.”

All links to previous Gospa News investigations have been added aftermath for the ties with the topics highlighted above or below
Palestinians have launched their biggest operation against Israel in years in a surprise offensive that combined fighters crossing the fence into Israeli occupied cities with a heavy barrage of rockets from the Gaza Strip.
Videos purportedly showed resistance fighters inside a military base on Saturday, as bodies of dead soldiers lied on the ground.
The Times of Israeli said Palestinian fighters infiltrated the town of Sderot and other settlements. “At least six people were killed and more nearly 200 wounded, and casualties were reported from Sderot,” the daily reported.

The unprecedented offensive started a few minutes before 7 a.m. as Israelis celebrated the last day of the weeklong Sukkot festival, with hundreds of rockets fired at Israel.
Red alert warning sirens were activated in Tel Aviv, Sde Boker, Arad, and Dimona in the south as explosions were heard by residents on Saturday. In al-Quds, rocket sirens sounded followed by the sound of explosions. Cars were seen on fire after a rocket landed in Ashkelon, southern Israel.
Hamas’ armed wing said more than 5,000 rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip into Israel on Saturday, declaring it had started “Operation al-Aqsa Flood”.
“We decided to put an end to all the crimes of the occupation, their time for rampaging without being held accountable is over,” Hamas said. “We announce Operation al-Aqsa Flood and we fired, in the first strike of 20 minutes, more than 5,000 rockets.”
Gaza-based Islamic Jihad said its fighters have joined the operation as Hamas called on Palestinians everywhere to fight and on resistance groups in Lebanon also to join the fighting against Israel.
“We are part of this battle, our fighters are side-by-side with their brothers in the Qassam Brigades until victory is achieved,” said Islamic Jihad armed wing spokesman Abu Hamza on a post on Telegram.

“This storm which started from Gaza will spread to the West Bank and outside the country and all the places where our people and nation are present,” Hamas politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh said.
Haniyeh called the operation historic and epic, saying the main reason for its start was the “criminal aggression of the Zionists in al-Aqsa Mosque, which had reached its peak in recent days”.
Palestinian sources reported the death of a number of Israeli soldiers and settlers. One video near the separation wall purportedly showed a Merkava tank on fire, with several Palestinian youths perched on top.
A witness reporting from the scene is heard saying that the operators of the tank had been captured and taken to Gaza. One video purportedly shows an Israeli soldier being ridden pillion on a motorbike in the custody of two Palestinians and taken to Gaza.
Another video circulating on social media showed large black plumes of smoke and fires from a suspected impact site in Ashkelon.
In Gaza the roar of rocket launches could be heard and residents reported armed clashes along the separation fence with Israel, near the southern town of Khan Younis, and said they had seen significant movement of armed fighters.
“Undeniable proof” uncovered that Zionist Agents targeted Jews in Iraq
Israel’s ambulance service said teams had been dispatched to areas in southern Israel near Gaza and residents were warned to stay inside.
Palestinians in Gaza expressed disbelief at the infiltration into the territories occupied by Israel. “It is like a dream. I still can’t believe it, fighters inside our occupied land?” said one Gaza shopkeeper, quoted by Reuters.
Senior Hamas military commander Mohammad Deif said, “This is the day of the greatest battle end the last occupation on earth.”
He said Palestinian resistance fighters struck numerous Israeli targets, including airports and military facilities. “Today, the wrath of our nation and righteous fighters is boiling over. This is your day to make the enemy understand that its time has come to an end,” the top commander stated.
The operation came a day after Israel marked the 50th anniversary of the 1973 war that brought the entity to the verge of catastrophic defeat following a surprise attack by Syria and Egypt.
“This attack too appeared to catch Israel completely by surprise,” the Times of Israel wrote.
Minister of military affairs Yoav Gallant rushed to Tel Aviv to consult with security chiefs. Hardline prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu was also to take part. The military said it was moving to a “state of war readiness” and Gallant authorized a widespread call-up of reserves.
Gallant also declared an emergency situation within a range of 80 kilometers from the Gaza Strip. The area includes the major cities Tel Aviv and Beersheba. The military said it carried out at least two airstrikes on the Gaza Strip.
Israeli Military Forces attacked Palestinians attending the funeral procession
On Friday, Israeli military forces attacked hundreds of Palestinians attending the funeral procession of a young Palestinian man in the West Bank, injuring more than 50 people.
According to Palestinian media outlets, the crowd was mourning the 19-year-old Labib Dumaidi, who in the early hours of Friday succumbed to injuries sustained in a raid by Israeli settlers on the town of Huwara, south of Nablus.
Local sources said the Israeli forces attacked Palestinians with live bullets, rubber-coated metal bullets, stun grenades and tear gas to prevent them from continuing the procession.
The reports said 51 citizens were injured, including 19 citizens who were hit with rubber bullets, two of them in the head, and three who were hit with live bullets in the foot.
Israel has escalated its violence against Palestinians recently, particularly after a right-wing cabinet led by Benjamin Netanyahu came to power.
More than 200 Palestinians have been killed this year in the occupied Palestinian territories and Gaza. The majority of these fatalities have been recorded in the West Bank.
The United Nations said 2023 is the deadliest year for Palestinians in the West Bank since it began keeping track of fatalities almost two decades ago.
Previously, 2022 had been the deadliest year with 150 Palestinians killed, of whom 33 were minors, according to the UN.
