  • Israeli forces rescue four live hostages from Gaza, military says

    Israeli forces rescued four hostages alive from two locations in the central Gaza area of al-Nuseirat on Saturday, the military said, eight months after they were kidnapped by Hamas-led militants in a deadly incursion into Israel.

    The four hostages, three males and one female who were abducted from the Nova music festival in southern Israel on Oct. 7

    They were identified as Noa Argamani, 25, Almog Meir Jan, 21, Andrey Kozlov, 27, and Shlomi Ziv, 40.

    Israel's chief military spokesman said the rescue operation was held under fire in the heart of a residential neighbourhood, where he said Hamas had been concealing hostages among Gaza civilians under the armed guard of militants.

    Got no time to code
  • My manager marks the daily meeting as mandatory (if you don't attend you must send your daily update before to the team chat).

    And he exploits them as follows:

    1. A way to guarantee that all team members will be available until that time.
    2. A way to push team members to keep up with schedule/hint that new tasks shouldn't take long (AKA status meeting).
    3. A time to say what team members didn't do good.

    Is it considered to be a good approach?

  • Can I refuse MS Authenticator?
  • In my case they didn't disable the option to use any authenticator for 2FA.

    So I just use another one.

    I don't see why forcing MS Authenticator will be better than any other authenticator.

    The person who forces it is for sure not a security expert.

    It will be easier to hackers to hack 2FA when they know what the authenticator app is, versus hundreds of different authenticator clients.

    Israel's military has released footage it says shows gunmen at an Unrwa facility in southern Gaza.

    Gaza: UN says gunmen were filmed in abandoned Rafah aid warehouse

    The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released drone footage that it said showed armed "terrorists roaming and shooting" next to marked UN vehicles at the facility in eastern Rafah on Saturday.

    She stressed that UN staff had evacuated the compound prior to Saturday, leaving behind some vehicles and food aid. She said under no circumstances should anyone have or use weapons in a UN facility.

    A review commissioned by the UN said Israel had not provided evidence to back up the claim, but it found that Unrwa should improve its neutrality, staff vetting and transparency.

    YSK: You might save on car rental by cancelling and re-booking over time before your rental due date
  • Similar happened to me, I booked a gas car but received a hybrid instead.

    I'm curious, what's the advantage of renting not from the airport? I prefer the airport because it's easy to locate, especially when the airport is new and I'm dizzy after long flights

  • YSK: You might save on car rental by cancelling and re-booking over time before your rental due date

    Car rental prices might decrease over time as the rental getting closer to its due date.

    I encountered it when booked a car rental, waited for about a month, cancelled and then re-booked again.

    I rented from https://www.booking.com/cars

    These are the rental prices over the months before the rental due date:

    1. $547.73 (first price) - cancelled
    2. $502.27 - cancelled
    3. $475.10 - cancelled
    4. $439.86 - final price

    www.nytimes.com Israeli Hostage Says She Was Sexually Assaulted and Tortured in Gaza

    Amit Soussana is the first former hostage to publicly say she was sexually abused in captivity. A U.N. report has said it found “clear and convincing information” that some hostages suffered “conflict-related sexual violence.”

    “He sat me on the edge of the bath. And I closed my legs. And I resisted. And he kept punching me and put his gun in my face,” Ms. Soussana said. “Then he dragged me to the bedroom.”

    This month, a United Nations report said that there was “clear and convincing information” that some hostages had suffered sexual violence and there were “reasonable grounds” to believe sexual violence occurred during the raid, while acknowledging the “challenges and limitations” of examining the issue.

    She said Muhammad slept outside the bedroom, in the adjacent living room, but frequently entered the bedroom in his underwear, asking about her sex life and offering to massage her body.

    Muhammad forced her to commit a sexual act on him, Ms. Soussana said. After the assault, Muhammad left the room to wash, leaving Ms. Soussana sitting naked in the dark, she said. When he returned, she recalled him showing remorse, saying, “I’m bad, I’m bad, please don’t tell Israel.”

    The Israeli Defense Forces on Sunday accused a prominent journalist– who in recent months has reported regularly for Al Jazeera from Gaza – of moonlighting as a senior Hamas commander.

    The Israeli Defense Forces have published photos they say were discovered on a laptop in Gaza that show Al Jazeera journalist Mohamed Washah engaged in Hamas terrorist activities.

    Neither Al Jazeera nor the Qatari government have responded to the Sun’s request for comment.

    CNN goes inside a compound deep under the besieged southern city, where the Israeli military says Hamas held hostages. Much of the surrounding residential area has been destroyed.

    Inside the underground compound in Khan Younis where Israel says hostages were held | CNN

    'Just horrific': CNN producer describes being in room where hostages were held

    Inside this maze of tunnels under Khan Younis, there is a narrow room with an arched ceiling, divided in half by a barred metal gate. The musty chamber, which looks like a makeshift cell, is where the Israeli military says Hamas held at least 12 of the hostages kidnapped and brought to Gaza on October 7.

    “They spent years and years building it, this is not a two-year project, this is years of planning. So, if anyone asks how long was October 7 being planned, I say for many years,” he said

    Goldfuss said a building once stood where CNN accessed the tunnel through a huge crater and other shafts spread like a spiderweb through the neighborhood. The devastation is immense – nothing was left of the original structure; its remnants having been bulldozed away to expose the tunnel entrance.

    Intelligence Reveals Details of U.N. Agency Staff’s Links to Oct. 7 Attack

    The Oct. 7 intelligence reports seen by the Journal identified an Unrwa Arabic teacher who the reports said was also a Hamas militant commander and took part in a terrorist attack on Kibbutz Be’eri, where 97 people were killed and about 26 people were kidnapped and taken as hostages to Gaza.

    Another Unrwa employee, described in the dossier as an Unrwa social worker, played a role in absconding with the body of a dead Israeli soldier, which was taken to Gaza, the reports said. He also coordinated trucks and munitions distributions for Hamas before being killed.

    A person familiar with the dossier said that after U.S. officials were briefed on the intelligence material, they alerted Unrwa, which put out a statement announcing the allegation that some of its employees were linked to the attacks and saying it had fired the employees involved. It provided no details, and didn’t say how many employees were involved.

    A math teacher belonging to Hamas was close enough to a female hostage in Gaza that he took a picture of her. Another teacher was carrying an antitank missile the night before the invasion.

    A different elementary school teacher did cross into Israel and went to Reim, a district where a kibbutz, an army base and a music festival were attacked.

    Evidence Shows Widespread Support for October 7th Terrorists Among UNRWA Teachers in Gaza

    This report details how UNRWA teachers in a 3,000-member UNRWA staff Telegram group cheered and celebrated Hamas’s October 7th massacre while at the same time asking when their UNRWA salaries will be paid.

    The UNRWA staff in the group shared photos and video footage of those events and prayed for the terrorists’ success and for Israel’s destruction, in clear violation of UN rules.

    This is the latest in a series of reports on UNRWA staff antisemitism and incitement to jihadi terrorism which our research proves is systemic and widespread.

    Since 2015, UN Watch has exposed over 150 UNRWA staff Facebook pages that contain antisemitism and incitement to jihadi terrorism in blatant violation of UN neutrality.

    The UNRWA Telegram group featured in this report completely eviscerates UNRWA’s denials and exposes the extent of UNRWA’s failure to do the bare minimum to address its staff’s neutrality violations.
