The 'Commanders and Reserve Soldiers' Forum presented to the public the "Generals' Plan" to defeat Hamas, which was written at the initiative of Major General (Res.) Giora Eiland with the assistance of Major General (Res.) Gershon Hacohen, Brigadier General Dedi Simchi (Res.), and other senior officers.
The plan is based on the assumption that the current strategy of conducting raids in Gaza is not effective enough to overwhelm Hamas and to put sufficient pressure on the terrorist organization to return the 101 hostages it still holds.
According to the plan, the entire area north of the Netzarim. Corridor, i.e. Gaza City with all its neighborhoods, would become a closed military area in which the entire population, estimated by the army to be approximately 250,000 people, ...

American airline JetBlue Airways has updated their in-flight map to show the words 'Palestinian Territory' in significantly larger text than the word ‘Israel,’ to the point where it is overlaid on the entire state of Israel, N12 reported Tuesday evening.
Hodaya Knafo, an Israeli woman studying in the United States, told N12 that she was on a domestic flight from Miami to San Diego when she tried to show another passenger where Israel was located on her seat’s personal screen. "The label was prominently displayed in a way that didn't seem innocent,” she said, and additionally, the borders were incorrect."
According to the map, Israel’s northern border does not include the Golan Heights.
“It happens ofte...
Forty-nine percent of Jewish Israelis agree with the statement, “Israel must not relinquish control of the Philadelphi Corridor even at the expense of a hostage deal,” a Jewish People Policy Institute (JPPI) survey showed.
In its new survey, JPPI also found that 43% percent support the statement, “Israel should give up control of the Philadelphi Corridor to enable a hostage deal.”
The JPPI survey of Israelis examined the highly sensitive question of a hostage deal on Sunday, just hours after news of the murder of six Israeli hostages by Hamas was made public.
The question was formulated to correspond with the debate that ensued in Israel following the Israeli Cabinet vote that made the continuous presence of Israel along the Philadelphi Corrid...
With just under nine weeks until Election Day, Angela Alsobrooks has an edge over Larry Hogan in Maryland’s U.S. Senate race, but a swath of undecided voters are up for grabs, according to a new Gonzales Poll.
Alsobrooks, the current Prince George’s County Executive, is looking to become Maryland’s first Black U.S. Senator. She’s running against Larry Hogan, the popular former two-term Republican governor.

Across the state, 11% remain undecided and 1% said they would vote for someone other than Alsobrooks and Hogan. The margin of error is plus or min...
Baltimore, MD - Sept. 4, 2024 - You can add Baltimore County to the list of school systems starting the school year with unsafe drinking water on some of its campuses.
Two elementary schools, Kingsville and Jacksonville, have toxic chemicals in their drinking water that are above standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency. At both schools, water fountains cannot be used and bottled water is being provided for drinking. Tap water can be used, though, for handwashing only.
The chemicals found are polyfluroalkyl substances, commonly known as PFAS. Environmentalists call them forever chemicals because they don’t break down once they’re released into the atmosphere. They can build up in the body and cause harm, even at low levels.
The water was tested by the Maryl...
