The Izz Al-Din Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas terror organization that rules the Gaza Strip, produced a video showing its fighters preparing for war in underground tunnels its members have built to infiltrate the border with Israel.

According to a report by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), the video ended with a caption in Hebrew and Arabic that reads: “Your destiny is death if you enter Gaza.”

The video was posted on Twitter. It shows Hamas fighters in the tunnels getting ready to fire rockets.

On Saturday, Hamas called on Palestinians to go to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem the next day—Sunday, May 15, “Nakba Day”—which Palestinians mark as a “catastrophe” due to the establishment of modern-day Israel in 1948.

The terror group also warned Jews against visiting the site, which is holy to Islam and Judaism, on Sunday.

The Israeli firm Gambit Security said that the cyber attack had the hallmarks of prior Iranian attacks.
District leaders ought to be “ashamed of themselves for giving such a dangerous group unfettered access to their schools and students,” Casey Ryan, of Defending Education, told JNS.
“No one stands alone in our city, when one community is targeted by hate, all of Chicago feels the impact,” stated Brandon Johnson, the city mayor.
The public university “inexplicably took no serious action whatsoever” as “Jewish and Israeli students risked physical assault” during the 2024 anti-Israel campus protests.
Police said the suspect repeatedly slapped the woman on her upper back from behind, though authorities are not investigating the incident as a hate crime.
“Attacking someone because of their faith is not just a crime against one person, it’s an assault on our community,” the Los Angeles County district attorney said.
