  1. Israel Says It Killed Senior Hamas Commander, Despite Cease-Fire Hamas said the attack on Saturday was a breach of the truce. The militant group did not comment on Israel’s claim to have killed one of its members. The Israeli military said it killed one of Hamas’s top commanders in Gaza in a targeted strike on Saturday, in what would be the most high-profile assassination of a senior figure in the militant group since the cease-fire began two months ago. The target of the attack was Raed Saad, a senior commander in the Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s armed wing, according to the Israeli authorities. Mr. Saad helped plan the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel that ignited the two-year war in Gaza, the Israeli military said. Hamas did not immediately comment on Israel’s claim to have killed Mr. Saad, leaving his fate unclear, but said in a statement that the attack was a “further criminal breach of the cease-fire agreement.” The group has frequently taken weeks or months to confirm the deaths of senior figures killed by Israel. A longstanding member of Hamas, he had slowly risen in the ranks to become the armed wing’s second-in-command, according to two Arab intelligence officials. He spent much of the war deep underground in Hamas tunnels beneath Gaza City, they said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel said in a statement that he and the country’s defense minister had personally ordered Mr. Saad’s assassination in response to an explosive device that had wounded two Israeli soldiers earlier on Saturday. Four people were killed in the attack — which hit a car on Gaza’s coastal road — and their bodies were brought to Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, according to Mohammad Abu Salmiya, the medical center’s director. He said he could not immediately confirm their identities. The assassination attempt could further rattle the already fragile truce between Israel and Hamas, which has been tested by repeated rounds of violence. The United States and its regional allies brokered the cease-fire in mid-October, which saw the last 20 surviving hostages in Gaza freed in exchange for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees. But the truce did not entirely stop the fighting. More than 300 Palestinians have since been killed in Israeli attacks, including children, since the truce went into effect, local health officials say. And at least three Israeli soldiers have been killed in combat, according to the Israeli military. International mediators, including President Trump, have tried to press ahead with carrying out the next phase of the cease-fire, which would see Hamas lay down its weapons and lead to a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. Hamas regards giving up all its weapons as tantamount to surrender, as armed struggle against Israel is a core part of its ideology. Mr. Netanyahu has repeatedly said that if Hamas did not agree to disarm quietly, it would be done “the hard way.” https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/13/world/middleeast/israel-hamas-commander-gaza-strike.html?unlocked_article_code=1.8U8.Q6_C.GdRUlUTL3iVC&smid=nytcore-ios-share
  2. Can elaborate on this calving date choice? Curious to know more about yalls experience. @Kennythetiger can you learn me about the pelvic measuring. I assume the flunkies are heifers with smaller pelvic areas which correlates to more frequent birthing issues? How hard is it to accurately measure? Does it take a trained veterinarian or something youve learned to do? I’ll hang up and listen.
  3. Not to worry, we’ll fix that for Miss State /ducks
  4. Penix was throwing darts in the smallest of windows. And his receivers were making great catches. Tip your hat and give props when due.
  5. Fatalistic certitude & nattering nabobs. Ok You guys are trying way too hard.
  6. Yes. Hit him in stride and let’s see what the kid can do.
  7. What’s the story here? I thought it was odd he didn’t get any snaps at Florida. Figured Sark would have given the hometown kid some run at the Swamp.
  8. Is that you 6th Street? O/U on a false start before this happens?
  9. This seems like a good time to remind everyone that OU sucks. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
  10. Glad it’s finally solved. Tragic it took over three decades. Fuck this Brashers loser. What a POS. Ruined so many lives. Rot in hell.
  11. Damn. Obligatory gif
  12. This is a good rec. close to the airport too I would also consider La Fogata. Get a margarita and enjoy the atmosphere. Not as close to the airport but not too far. ~ 10 minute drive. As mentioned, Paloma Blanca is a great spot. But a little more upscale dining than it sounded like OP was looking for.
  13. Hope the Brooks is nothing serious.
  14. Don’t forget about the Chili’s and Olive Garden off of Pecan Park Blvd.
  15. Burnt toast and runny eggs! Herman was such a petty douche. Absolutely the dumbest Mensa genius ever.
  16. Yes, Shelter Island around that time. Not familiar with the area, had to look it up. Action appeared to be focused at the end of and between Carleton and Dickens, towards the water.
  17. Good rec dudes. Thanks. 🤘🏻 We finished up with police in helicopter circling and announcing repeatedly “Hispanic male, 30’s, white t-shirt, black jeans, call 9-1-1.” Time to go kids! There were 8 units setting up a perimeter as we left. That was something. Made it in time for some great photos at Sunset Cliffs. Enjoying a cold beer, watching the moon beams dance across the bay listening to Harvest Moon at the moment. Man, I could get used to this SoCal weather. It’s ridiculous.
