Middle East Madness > Hamas rebuilding itself in Gaza - IDF

 

IDF warning: Hamas working to reclaim weaponry, reestablish military control over Gaza


The free world’s ongoing defense against the jihad does not stop at Israel. It is a global battle. Israel is currently fighting the lion’s share of this battle, because it is the single, tiny Jewish country in a vast region that Islam has conquered. As a wing of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas is not marginalized in the region nor globally, despite the outward show of its having been outlawed in several countries, such as Saudi Arabia. The West forgets that no honor exists in the minds of jihadists when engaging with kaffirs. Jihadists have never honored ceasefires and ever will, and their religion instructs them to employ taqiyya. They use these so-called ceasefires to regroup after their enemies have hammered them. Such is the case with Hamas, now rebuilding after Israel decimated Gaza due to Hamas hiding its weaponry and operatives among Gazan civilians.  


Hamas working to reclaim weaponry, reestablish military control over Gaza, IDF says – report 

by Danya Saperstein, Jerusalem Post, September 9, 2026:

Hamas has been operating to reclaim its weaponry and reestablish military control over the Gaza Strip, despite the ongoing ceasefire and disarmament agreement, N12 News reported on Wednesday, citing IDF sources.

“Recently, Hamas terrorists have been reaching weapons depots and using the weapons inside to carry out surveillance and establish control over the Gaza Strip,” a senior security source told the outlet.

Meanwhile, the IDF and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) destroyed three Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad weapon storage facilities and a launch pit from which rockets were fired toward Israel throughout the war in precise strikes on the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, the military announced on Wednesday.

Dozens of different weapons were stored inside the facilities, including rockets and Kalashnikov rifles, among other combat equipment.

Hamas terrorists had been using the stored weapons to carry out operations and establish control in Gaza recently, according to the IDF…

By now, even witless leftists should understand that martyrdom is the highest calling in Islam. It comes with showers of praises and rewards from fellow Sharia-observant Muslims, and boundless rewards in the afterlife. Knowing one’s enemy is a foreign concept to arrogant leftists, as well as to many also on the right. In the case of Islam, 1400 years of proof isn’t enough for them.

Going back a few years: following Operation Guardian of the Walls in 2021, in which Hamas was pummeled, Israel thought that the blow to Hamas’ capabilities was so severe that “Hamas was unlikely to act against Israel for years.” The Saudis aided the rebuilding of Hamas. In 2022, Saudi Arabia released senior Hamas official Mohammad al-Khudary from prison on health grounds. Less than three months before that, the Saudis freed two jailed Palestinians who were linked to Hamas; a larger scale Hamas prison release followed, after a meeting with a senior Hamas delegation which demanded their release. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas also held meetings with Saudi Arabia’s King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman about “continuing violence in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories.” That meeting coincided with the Hamas’ delegation visit, although the meetings were separate.

Hamas saw Operation Guardian of the Walls differently from how the leaders of the “resistance axis,” who “praised Hamas and its military wing,” regarded it. The Amit Terrorism and Intelligence Research Institute reported on “transcripts of conversations and written correspondence between Hamas leaders and senior figures in Iran and Hezbollah, featuring phrases such as ‘mythical power’ and ‘heavenly victory,’ and denials of Israeli claims about significant damage to the tunnel network.”

Hamas then regrouped and planned a much worse attack that culminated in October 7.

Muslim Brotherhood is not about to disappear, and neither is the “resistance axis.” It is rooted in Islamic supremacy itself, and the goal of a global caliphate. This is why the the Organization of Islamic Cooperation has declared the Palestinian cause to be the central cause of the Muslim ummah. Hamas is a front man in this cabal. Recall that Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Iran stood in unison on the very day Israel was savaged by Hamas on October 7 and justified the ISIS-like attack because of “the occupation.”

The West has been completely fooled. The jihadist determination to destroy Israel began at Israel’s founding, when the surrounding Arab nations immediately attacked the new Jewish state. Ditto in 1967, with the Six-Day War, and again in the 1973 Yom Kippur War. The targeting of Israel for annihilation has never stopped, despite deceptive talk and naive acceptance of the Palestinian “resistance.” And the determination for global conquest began with Muhammad himself.

Powerful movement of the Spirit as Florida church baptizes 2552 people in one day

 

Florida Church Baptizes Over 2,500 People

The Church of Eleven22 witnessed an extraordinary outpouring of faith with over 2,500 individuals baptized in a single weekend, underscoring a powerful spiritual movement.
May 27, 2026



Florida-based church The Church of Eleven22 recently had over 2,500 people baptized last weekend, adding to the large number of baptisms the church has had in recent years.
“Still not over yesterday!” the church, located in Jacksonville, stated on Facebook.
“2,552 times we heard someone renounce the sins of their past, pledge allegiance to Christ, and proclaim out loud for the whole world to hear that Jesus Christ is their Lord and Savior! There is truly nothing better than that!”
As CBN News previously reported, nearly 2,000 were baptized at the church's Beach Baptism last year, while over 1,600 were baptized in 2024.
"The church is alive and well, the Spirit of God is on the move, and the gospel of Jesus Christ is still changing lives today,” Pastor Joby Martin said.
In a separate social media post, the church stressed the importance that baptism has for those who profess faith in Jesus Christ.
“One by one, people walked into the water declaring that Jesus Christ is their Lord and Savior - that the old is gone and new life has come! Because baptism isn't what saves us, it's the outward sign of an inward spiritual reality. A symbol that we've been united with Jesus in His death and raised to walk in new life," the church stated.
One significant moment that took place during last weekend’s baptism was when one of the shuttle bus drivers got baptized and was the very last one.
“Only God could write a story like that," the church said.
As reported by CBN News, The Church of Eleven22 saw more than 14,000 churchgoers, family members, and supporters in attendance at Hanna Park last weekend to support and rejoice for those making a public confession of their faith in the Lord.
