(Nov. 3, 2024 / JNS) Several hundred Israelis—men and women—gathered at Ancient Shiloh on Sunday for morning prayers and the recitation of psalms, for the well-being and prosperity of America, as the U.S. heads towards presidential elections this on Tuesday.
Josh Hasten, Middle East Correspondent for JNS, joins the Sunday Agenda on Newsmax to discuss the latest news from Israel on October 27, 2024.
On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten – the Jerusalem Post quotes a report indicating that the Hezbollah terrorist organization is beginning to crack with many of its members fleeing their posts. Some of the terror group’s fighters have even fled to Syria with their families rather than stay and fight against Israel. The report indicates that Israel’s recent pager/walkie talkie detonation attack injured thousands causing chaos in Hezbollah’s ranks. Israel’s ground offensive in southern Lebanon has also caused them to cut and run.
As the group continues to fire rockets at Israel on a nearly hourly basis, the report provides optimism that in a matter of time, the Iranian proxy will fall.
Four Israeli soldiers were killed last night in a Hezbollah drone strike targeting a packed dining room of a Binyamina army base. Over 60 others were wounded, some seriously. On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten asks, is there a connection between the attack and reports that the Biden Administration pressured Israel to refrain from attacking Beirut over the past several days. Despite the bad news, Israel continues to make progress in taking out Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon and Hamas terrorists in Gaza, along with terrorist infrastructure.

“On October 7, we were 100% the bulletproof vests of the nation.” This is according to Master Sgt. Dean Elsdunne, Israel Police international spokesperson, speaking to JNS on the sidelines of an emotional event at the Friends of Zion Museum in Jerusalem on Wednesday night, honoring the 67 police officers who died in the line of duty on Oct. 7, 2023, and over the past year, battling terrorists and defending the State of Israel.
On this week’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten discusses the one year anniversary on the Gregorian calendar of the October 7, 2023 massacre in which Hamas murdered 1,200 Israelis. Israel has been at war on seven fronts ever since, and despite the pain and loss experienced this year, Josh says that Israel will defeat her enemies, as winning is the only option for the Jewish State.
