That’s how long Hamas held Alon Ohel captive in Gaza while torturing and isolating him, trying to break his spirit, and yet, here he is.
Alon is back home in Israel, making music, creating, and living his life.
This video is more than a singing video, it’s proof of the resilience that defines Israeli survivors. Hamas tried to silence him, but they failed. They tried to destroy his future, but they couldn’t.
Alon’s strength reminds the world of the human cost of terror and the unbreakable spirit of those who survive it.
Captain Ella Waweya, the highest ranking Israeli Arab officer in the IDF, delivered a powerful message to the Arabic-speaking world: Israel’s strength comes from ALL its people. Jews, Arabs, and many other communities standing side by side.
Her voice represents the reality that extremists try to erase. The IDF is not defined by one identity, but by a shared commitment to protect human life, defend freedom, and bring every victim of terror home.
In Israel, heroism has many faces, many languages, and many stories.
Captain Ella’s leadership is a testament to the resilience of a society built on courage, unity, and the refusal to abandon one another in the face of terror.

Alpine skier for Israel’s winter 2026 Olympic delegation, Barnabás Szollos, thanks the People of Israel for their support and the chance to represent them in the winter games, which are rarely attended by a large Israeli delegation.
We can’t wait to see him race. 😍⛷️🎿
The first-ever Israeli bobsled team have arrived in Milan-Cortina ready to make history, but a crime was perpetrated against them on the way there.
Olympian @ajedelman and his teammates had thousands of dollars of essential gear stolen, along with their passports and personal belongings. This devastating blow came in the moments they’re preparing to represent Israel on the world’s biggest stage.
This team has already overcome enormous odds just to qualify to compete. Israel has no natural bobsled infrastructure, yet these athletes built a program from nothing other than their determination, and the dream of representing their country.
Nothing will stop them.
Jared Firestone’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary. 🇮🇱❄️
Jared grew up as a runner in Florida, and became a lawyer, but never gave up on his dream of being an Olympic athlete.
He discovered skeleton, one of the most “demanding and fearless sports in the Winter Games.” Through relentless dedication, he earned qualification to compete for Israel at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.
Jared has also been chosen as one of Israel’s flag bearers, a powerful symbol of perseverance, identity, and national pride.
From the courtroom to the Olympic podium, Jared Firestone carries the hope of a nation. 🇮🇱🔥

American military contractors stationed in Gaza rescued a litter of abandoned puppies and are bringing them home to be adopted into loving families. 🐕
In a place so controlled by destructive ideologies, this small act of compassion reminds us that the same people working to protect lives and restore stability will always find time to save the most vulnerable.
These are some tough guys showing the world what humanity looks like. ❤️
Doctors Without Borders presents itself as neutral, but recent developments raise serious questions.
Israeli authorities say they require enhanced staff vetting for NGOs operating in Hamas-controlled territory to prevent terrorist infiltration.
MSF initially indicated it would comply with this policy, then reversed course, while continuing public advocacy critical of Israeli policy and disputing claims about Hamas’ exploitation of humanitarian systems.
At the same time, critics note far less sustained international campaigning from MSF as Iranian doctors have faced arrest, torture, and even death sentences for treating injured protesters.
Neutrality requires consistency. When humanitarian advocacy appears selective, credibility suffers.
