Unfortunately that video is too large.
If you wanted a proof that hating Israel is mental and spiritual by nature just look at the way these Yemeni Houthis are dancing with the flag of Israel under their feet. They don’t know us nor do their even share a border with us. Here they are like insane freaks building their entire identity around hatred of Jews. They have a mental illness. If you had a friend furiously obsessed about someone THEY’VE NEVER MET, and who built their life around their rage for this stranger - who lived thousands of miles away from them - you would diagnose them as having a mental illness. This mental illness exists within the Muslim world.
The IDF and the Ministry of Defense began distributing weapons to the settlement defense forces (standby classes) in 13 additional settlements near Gaza. This week, the re-equipment of 23 settlements will be completed
The Director General of the Ministry of Defense, Colonel (res.) Eyal Zamir, together with the head of the Ofek Hadaz Directorate, Colonel (res.) Roni Numa and senior officials in the IDF and the Ministry of Defense, met with members of the emergency units in the Gaza Envelope to discuss the needs of the residents. This is as part of the preparations made by the security establishment for the gradual return of the settlements.
The distribution of weapons to the settlement defense forces in the area surrounding Gaza is expanding. 12 additional localities in the near Gaza are currently receiving combat equipment as part of the "Return of the Spirit" program to strengthen the standby units and localities at the borders.
Each settlement receives weapons, ceramic vests and helmets purchased and tested to the highest standards. Later, another level of equipment will be distributed, which includes additional medical and logistical equipment.

Today, it can be argued that this is a war of drones. UAVs have fundamentally altered operational actions and tactics. According to senior officer Kostyantyn, known by the call sign 'Churchill,' half of the enemy's equipment is destroyed thanks to drones.
Kostyantyn has been involved with reconnaissance drones for over a year. Initially piloting the Mavic, and through UNITED24's 'Army of Drones' project, he mastered the Autel and Matrice 300. He emphasizes the impressive technical capabilities of the latter 'bird.' The Matrice 300 equipped with a night camera and a vision range of up to 15 kilometers has proven invaluable on the battlefield.
"On one occasion, during routine surveillance, we spotted the movement of cargo transport toward a village. We relayed this information to the scouts, who deployed drones in that direction. The entire group observed the resulting fire show for about two hours. Following this successful operation, our positions remained calm for several days. Without the Matrice 300, achieving these results wouldn't have been possible.
It pays not to get in some lines. That must have been Ukrainian ice.
❗️ The issue of US assistance to Ukraine is postponed until next year - Reuters.
"Our negotiators are going to be working very, very diligently over the December and January break period, and our goal is to get something done as soon as we get back," Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters.
The chamber's No. 2 Republican, John Thune, also said a deal would not be reached before January.
"Democrats have run out the clock to the point where getting a substantive border security deal passed before Christmas is impossible," he said on the Senate floor.
- Meanwhile, whilst the senators blame each other, Ukrainian soldiers are unable to take a break until next year or enjoy any eggnog in the trenches, defending our freedom.
@Nazani Christmas present for Ukraine.
The Ukrainian Army wants 500,000 more troops.

The United States plans to purchase missiles for Patriot air defense systems from Japan and transfer them to Ukraine, as reported by the Washington Post.
According to the publication, Tokyo will soon officially formalize a change in policy, responding to Joe Biden's request, allowing the export of several dozen Patriot missiles to the United States. This move aims to replenish the Pentagon's stockpiles, enabling Washington to provide additional missiles to Ukraine during the critical winter period of shelling. Japan manufactures these missiles for the Patriot under a license from the American company Raytheon.
US President Joe Biden brought up this deal during discussions with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida at Camp David in August, during a historic trilateral summit involving South Korea, and reiterated it at an economic summit in San Francisco last month.
It's anticipated that Tokyo will announce the relevant changes regarding arms exports as early as Friday, December 22
