IDF Says Two Mortars Fired From Gaza Into Israel

Tensions have been high in the region recently after US President Donald Trump unveiled his Middle East peace plan, dubbed "the deal of the century", that gives significant concessions to Israel, to the detriment of Palestine.

The Israeli Defence Forces say two mortars have been fired from the Gaza Strip into Israel recently, landing in open fields and triggering sirens.

The Israeli military said earlier it struck several Hamas positions in southern Gaza, including an ISA production site, in retaliation for three rockets that had been launched from across the border into Israeli territory.

The region has seen a series of rocket and incendiary balloon launches recently, which prompted the Israeli forces to move some of its Iron Dome air defence systems further south.

The IDF and militants operating in Gaza have been engaged in violent exchanges since mid-November, while the recent attacks followed the announcement of the "deal of the century" by the United States aimed at restoring peace in the region.

The Palestinian National Authority has rejected the deal, severing all ties with Israel.

Netanyahu: IDF prepared to strike back in Gaza even before elections

Netanyahu gave the mayors an overview of the scenarios the IDF is weighing and the considerations involved in each one.

Israel is ready to take military action in Gaza if necessary, even before the March 2 election, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told mayors in the Negev on Wednesday.

Netanyahu gave the mayors an overview of the scenarios the IDF is weighing and the considerations involved in each one.

“The prime minister… repeated and emphasized that efforts are constantly being made to bring total calm, without use of force, and that the IDF is prepared to take military action if necessary, and that we prefer to react a solution without a confrontation,” Merhavim Local Council chairman Shay Hajaj wrote on Twitter.

Hajaj said he and the other mayors said that if Israel must embark on a military operation, the local councils in the Negev and their residences will give their support to the IDF.

The Merhavim mayor also said that Netanyahu paid close attention to their civilian concerns, such as strengthening agriculture, and even called relevant government officials during their meeting and set up follow-up meetings.

Blue and White leader Benny Gantz suggested that Netanyahu "apply Israeli law to Netivot, Sderot and the towns near the Gaza border first of all. I would suggest he reach agreements with parents who don't know which kid to take to the safe room first. Netanyahu is bored by the citizens of Israel."

YouTube Says It Will Ban "Manipulated" Election Content

The left seems to not understand that the more they try to micromanage our freedom - whether it be from taxes, social media censorship, subsidies or any other brilliant ideas they have - the worse things get.

Take Monday's unmitigated Iowa caucus shitshow, for example. But that hasn't stopped left wing social media companies from continuing to think that they are so integral to the integrity of our democracy that they need to actively do even more to "regulate" their platforms now that it is an election year.

Because after all, we can't have a repeat of 2016, right?

For instance, yesterday YouTube announced it was going to be selectively removing "election-related" videos that are "manipulated or doctored" to mislead votes, according to Yahoo Finance.

Who is going to determine what is misleading, you ask? Well, the fine folks on the far left in Silicon Valley, of course.

YouTube says it'll be taking the measures as it strives to become a "more reliable source" for news and to promote a "healthy political discourse" amid heightened fears over video fakes around the world.

Leslie Miller, YouTube's vice president of government affairs and public policy, said: "…the service's community standards prohibit content that has been technically manipulated or doctored in a way that misleads users… and may pose a serious risk of egregious harm."

The announcement was made just hours before the Iowa caucuses and comes amid heightened concern for "deepfake" videos that are altered using AI and can create credible looking events. Google had already committed last year to "stepping up efforts" on election misinformation.

Paul Barrett of the New York University Center for Business and Human Rights said: "The underlying standards YouTube explains and illustrates today do not appear to be brand new, but the company deserves praise for setting them out in clear terms and warning that it intends to enforce them vigorously."

"YouTube's statement today appears to reiterate its determination not to allow its users to be conned during the 2020 election campaign," he continued.
