Jerusalem, Israel - Feb. 19, 2024 - This display is now in the National Library of Israel:
For too long, an unthinkable number of men, women, and children have been kept away from their homes and loved ones.
Every person is a world unto themselves.
A book awaits each one of the hostages.
Some books were selected by relatives, others chosen according to individual personal interests and hobbies; and still others selected based on the spirit, title, or content of the book.
We await their safe return so that they may all continue to read and write the story of their lives.
This story must have a happy ending.

The IDF found in recent days a security video showing Shiri Bibas and her children Ariel (4) and Kfir (1) alive in captivity in Gaza in the early days of the war, Israeli media reported on Monday.
IDF Spokesman Rear-Admiral Daniel Hagari explained that on October 7, Shiri was kidnapped with her children by terrorists and brought to an outpost in Khan Yunis, where they were detained by a terror group by the name of Kataib Mujahadin.
There, Shiri was forced by armed terrorists to wear a piece of cloth with Kfir probably attached in a sling under the cloth, with Ariel following her. The terrorists then forced her and her children into a vehicle and onto a different location.
The video is dated to October 7 and shows they reached Khan Yunis alive, Hagari said.

Avner Yarkoni, who served as a fighter pilot in the past and as head of the Civil Aviation Authority, spoke to Maariv following the announcement by El Al about the attempt to take over the communication network of one of its planes while flying over Somalia on its way from Phuket in Thailand to Ben-Gurion Airport Saturday night.
Is there a tangible danger to the planes, given the current war situation?
"It was a communication interference by someone who was in contact with the plane. I don't know exactly what was said and how," but the controller's "manner of speaking apparently raised suspicion among the pilots," he said.
"It should be remembered that from the plane's communication, it does not go anywhere. That is, the commu...

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz (Likud) on Monday morning called the Brazilian Ambassador Federico Mayer for a reprimand after Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva compared Israel to the Nazis.
The reprimand took place at the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial museum in Jerusalem.
During the meeting, Katz showed Mayer the list of names of Jews murdered in the Holocaust, including members of his own family.
"I called you to the place which more than anywhere else testifies to everything the Nazis and Hitler did to the Jews, among them my family members," Katz said. "The comparison between the just war that Israel is fighting against Hamas and the horrors perpetrated by Hitler and the Nazis is an embarrassment and disgrace and a serious antisemitic attack."
Katz also said that d...
Malcolm Hoenlein, the Vice Chairman Emeritus of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, in an expansive interview, told Arutz Sheva-Israel National News about Qatar's role in spreading hatred of the Jewish state.
"I believe we have to be very direct with Qatar. Although the United States says 'Look they're playing a key role in the hostage negotiations' and other issues, but at the same time they sponsor Al Jazeera, which is spreading almost Nazi-like images of Israel and hostility toward Israel on a daily basis. It's a constant diet that feeds the street throughout the Arab world that watch it," says Hoenlein.
He adds: "They also are responsible for funding anti-Israel activities on campus in America. We traced so far $13 b...
IDF forces found technological equipment made in Iran and China in the Hamas facility under the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East headquarters in Gaza.
Kan reports that approximately a week ago the building was raided by Israeli forces, who found several servers which are being analyzed for intelligence by the IDF and ISA.

The United States said it would veto another draft U.N. resolution calling for a cease-fire.
The U.S., Israel's top ally, said it instead hopes to broker a cease-fire and hostage-release agreement between Israel and Hamas, and envisions a wider resolution on the war sparked by the terrorist group's Oct. 7 attack. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called Hamas' demands "delusional."
Netanyahu also opposes Palestinian statehood, which the U.S. calls a key element in a broader vision for the normalization of relations between Israel and regional heavyweight Saudi Arabia. His Cabinet adopted a declaration Sunday saying Israel "categorically rejects international edicts on a permanent arrangement with the Palestinians" and opposes any unilateral recognitio...

IDF commandos from the Commando Brigade, Shayetet 13, Shin Bet agents, and additional special forces, operating under the command of the 98th Division, operated over the weekend in the area of Nasser Hospital.

Among the detainees were terrorists who participated in the October 7th massacre, those with connections to the hostages, and significant Hamas operatives. The terrorists and suspects were taken for further interrogation by the security forces.
