Little Eitan was murdered by Hamas terrorists on his fifth birthday.

Instead of celebrating his birthday, his parents will mourn their child’s death on the day he was born for the rest of their lives.

May the memory of Eitan Kaptisher be a blessing.

Iranian leader and Putin hold phone talk on the crisis​

In a phone conversation today, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi told Russian President Vladimir Putin that Israel's retaliatory airstrikes in Gaza must stop, according to the Russian state agency Tass, citing the Iranian state-run IRNA.

Raisi told Putin that Israel's declared "siege" on Gaza following the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks could potentially turn into a large-scale military confrontation, Tass said on the messaging app Telegram.

Iran does not recognize Israel's right to exist, and the regime has supported Hamas, along with other militant groups in the region.

Tass also reported that Putin will hold phone calls with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas later today.

'We don’t know where we are going to live. Our community is burned'​

SHEFAYIM, Israel — Eilon Kotler watched his 6-year-old daughter take a short horseback ride in Shefayim, about 115 miles away from their home in Kfar Aza, where dozens of people were killed by Hamas militants on Oct. 7. He says he hopes the positive experience will be one of many to replace the memories of what unfolded just over a week ago.

Kotler, 40, and his daughter were forced to hide as Hamas militants tore through their kibbutz, leaving dozens of people dead. When they were finally able to emerge from their hiding place 14 hours later, he said his daughter grasped his hand and told him: “Abba, don’t look.”

Kotler said his other daughter, 9, was at another home nearby and was also safe, along with his ex-wife. He said that while his youngest daughter didn’t see the violence unfold, she can understand what happened.

Kotler said he doesn’t know if he will ever want to go back to Kfar Aza after the massacre that took place. For now, he said he was just grateful they're safe and for moments like this to help them “forget about our life a bit.”

“We don’t know where we are going to live. Our community is burned,” he said. “The people that survived, they lost many friends and family, so yeah it’s nice to come here a little bit and be with the horses.”

Hamas resorts to 'training children to defend Gaza'

Terrorists are training children as young as 14 for battle, with some even younger apparently being trained in military drills and weapons skills, an Israeli emergency responder unit has claimed.

www.dailymail.co.uk

Hamas commanders are allegedly training school-aged children to defend Gaza as thousands of Israeli troops prepare to storm the border, it has emerged.

Terrorists are training children as young as 14 for battle, with some even younger apparently being trained in military drills and weapons skills, an Israeli emergency responder unit has claimed.
South First Responders (SFR) shared photos and videos of the alleged training on Telegram yesterday. The footage was reportedly captured on body-worn cameras that were taken from terrorists' corpses.
All emphasis mine.

Sad, but not surprising.
Notice the word, "alleged" ?
If they have found this evidence, I wish they'd show it to the public.
People need to know what is happening.
If Hamas is doing this, I believe it's child abuse.
Not like they'd care; considering their actions last week, but still.

I've checked around to find other links for Hamas in particular training child soldiers, but there are prob. other countries who practice this ?
Omo.

This has been happening for years. This article is from 2013

Ship evacuating US nationals leaves Israel for Cyprus​

A ship evacuating US nationals from Israel leaves for Cyprus from the port of Haifa, as war rages between Israel and the Hamas terror group in the Gaza Strip.

With Israel now moving toward a ground operation in the Strip, the US embassy yesterday urged its “citizens and their immediate family members with a valid travel document” to depart from Haifa today.

The cruise ship is expected to reach the southern port city of Limassol tomorrow morning, Cypriot foreign ministry spokesperson Theodoros Gotsis tells local media.

Gotsis says that although the sea route was organized for American citizens by the US embassy in Nicosia in cooperation with Cypriot authorities, there could be other foreign nationals on board.

It is not immediately clear how many passengers boarded the ship at Haifa.

The charity ActionAid has repeated its call for the international community to come together to demand the reversal of Israeli evacuation orders for hospitals in Gaza. One of its youth volunteers has described conditions at Shifa hospital, saying:

Surprisingly we are still alive. Before becoming a shelter, this was one of the most important and largest hospitals in the Gaza Strip. The conditions here are miserable. We are without water, without food, without hygiene. People are sleeping and lying in the streets, in the corridors and everywhere inside the hospital.

Israel-Hamas war live updates: Gaza-Egypt border closed as crowds gather in bid to flee (nbcnews.com)

U.S. officials are as close to Rafah border crossing as conditions permit​

U.S. officials are as close to the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt as security conditions permit, a senior State Department Official told a pool of reporters traveling with Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday.

Americans are among the thousands of foreign national Palestinians who are waiting to leave Gaza through Egypt — as all the other exits out of Gaza have been sealed — but there has been confusion Monday around when and for how long the border crossing could re-open.

Due to "acute security threats" near the crossing, the closest the State Department officials could get to Rafah is the Egyptian city of Ismailia, some 150 miles away from the border, the official said.

US officials are in Ismailia, Egypt — as close to the border with Gaza as conditions allow​

The US government has officials in Ismailia, Egypt — “as close to the border” between Egypt and Gaza “as conditions permit,” a US official said Monday.

The US has “been trying” to get officials to the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing, but “the Egyptians have told us there are acute security threats there that prevent it,” the official told the traveling press.

The crossing between Gaza and Egypt is the only remaining outlet for supplies, but it has been closed for much of the past week. Humanitarian supplies have been piling up on the Egyptian side of the border, and neither Gazans nor foreign nationals have been able to cross.

Meanwhile, Americans in Gaza who spoke with CNN have had no luck getting into Egypt and the Rafah crossing has remained closed, despite US officials’ comments that it would be reopened.

One family told CNN they have been at Rafah since 9 a.m. local time, and the crossing is still closed.

“I can’t go another day with this torture and false hope,” said Lena Beseiso, 57, of Salt Lake City.

Beseiso told CNN in a message on Friday morning that she managed to get through by phone to the US embassy and was told they have all the information for American citizens who filled out the online form and that she should wait for someone to contact them. She was also told to go to the Rafah crossing with her family where they can get through, she said.

"My family and I are very frightened," Beseiso said. "Going to head south now."
