IDF Lt. Colonel (reserve) Jonathan Conricus discusses the incredibly tragic death of the three Israeli hostages killed by IDF forces yesterday. He speaks in the seven-minute video below with a Sky News anchor with the attitude to which we have become accustomed. He finds this an opportune moment to put Conricus on the defensive. To say the same effect I also note that takes up the casualty figures disseminated by

Last year, as many readers will recall, I was fortunate to have the privilege of appearing on C-SPAN’s “In-Depth” series, a two hour program where the host takes you through your entire corpus of work. Well, our podcast partner, and my frequent classroom partner, John Yoo was jealous, and is appearing tomorrow at noon eastern (9 am Pacific) on In-Depth. He encourages all Power Line readers to tune in, and

It’s been several days since IDF Lt. Colonel (reserve) Jonathan Conricus posted an operational update on Twitter. He has returned this morning with the update below in which he “[sets] the record straight, with lots of visual evidence, on how Hamas abuses hospitals and mosques for its military purposes in violation of LOAC. Hard for naysayers to dispute” — “LOAC” being the law of armed conflict, i.e., war crimes.” This

IDF Lt. Colonel (reserve) Jonathan Conricus returns with another briefing on the Hamas/Israel war, this one running 10 minutes. It is packed with information. Although Conricus makes no mention of the strategic genius with which Joe Biden is fortifying Israel’s efforts to defeat the genocidal maniacs of Hamas, Conricus laces this update with some sarcasm, as in his reference to an “ever elusive category” of Gazan casualties reported by Hamas

IDF Lt. Colonel (reserve) Jonathan Conricus has proved himself a source of reliable information in Israel’s current war. In the briefing below, posted a few hours ago, he provides an illustrated lesson in the hospitals chapter of the Hamas way of war. You won’t be hearing much about it from President Biden, Secretary Blinken, and their colleagues in the Biden administration. They don’t want to offend the supporters of Hamas

I sat in on a 25-minute Zoom briefing by IDF Lt. Colonel Jonathan Conricus yesterday afternoon. The briefing was hosted by CAMERA, which recorded the briefing but has not made it available. Conricus spoke rapidly and with great intensity. Among other things I have not read or heard elsewhere, he observed that Hamas had fired 8,000 rockets at Israel so far. Taking notes, I found it difficult to keep up

This morning I noted that the tone and tempo of Lt. Colonel Jonathan Conricus’s update had picked up. This afternoon Conricus returned with a second update, this one on the IDF assault on Jabaliya — “a known Hamas stronghold.” I have found Colonel Conricus and the IDF to be more reliable sources of information than the mainstream media. This update is a report of the successful strike on a legitimate

IDF Lt. Colonel Jonathan Conricus (reserve) returns this morning with a nine-minute briefing on the status of Israel’s war on Hamas. He begins with news of the rescue of an Israeli hostage yesterday. According to Conricus, that’s one down, 238 to go. He gives us a glimpse of IDF Major General Yaron Finkelman, head of the IDF Southern Command, “leading the troops from the front.” According to the Times of

Showing up for work early this morning, IDF Lt. Colonel Jonathan Conricus returns with a 10-minute update on the war. He discusses yesterday’s attacks on Israel. He briefly displays terrorist video. The point if not hard to understand: “This is the evil that we face….It’s very simple. Our communities cannot live with this threat near them.” He also addresses the lamentations emanating from Gaza on behalf of Hamas and the

I have heard from many Power Line readers who appreciate the regular appearance of IDF Lt. Colonel Jonathan Conricus here on the status of the war. However, he has not recorded an update from Tel Aviv this morning. He has posted brief personal reflections from the conclusion of an interview with CNN (below). I admit not being prepared for @jchatterleyCNN's last question.Israel is a mourning nation, still in the early

IDF Lt. Colonel (reserve) Jonathan Conricus posted another update on the status of the war a few hours ago. I have embedded it below. In this update Conricus focuses on the northern front. Hezbollah and Iran are testing Israel and President Biden. He rightly characterizes himself as “a credible source.” He reports that Hezbollah has been escalating its attacks on Israel. Hezbollah does not appear to be paying Biden’s instruction

Not having watched ABC News in a generation or two, I’m unclear who the anchor is in the video below. Is it ABC News Live Prime’s Linsey Davis? Assuming it is she, Davis questions IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus in this brief segment that Conricus has posted on his X/Twitter feed. Davis begins with two or three questions about Israel’s threatened ground invasion of Gaza and the hostages held

IDF Lt. Colonel (reserve) Jonathan Conricus provides his eighth daily update on the status of the Hamas/Israel war a few hours ago. The video is below. In advance of the apparent ground incursion for which the IDF has massed at the border of the Gaza Strip, Hamas seeks to prevent the evacuation of Arab civilians. Hamas wants them in place so that they can star as casualties in the media.

IDF Lt. Col. (reserve) Jonathan Conricus is a spokesman for the IDF. He has been working overtime since Hamas attacked Israel and commenced its campaign of atrocities one week ago today. A few hours ago he posted his seventh daily update on the ensuing war (below), this one focused on Gaza. About halfway through the update he turns to Hezbollah’s testing of Israel on the northern border yesterday. “As we

IDF Lt. Col. (reserve) Jonathan Conricus is a spokesman for the IDF. He has been working overtime since Hamas attacked Israel and commenced its campaign of atrocities on October 7 and has now posted a sixth daily update on the ensuing war (below). I hope to post these updates so long as they remain of interest. As I have observed before, the IDF generally continues to be a more reliable

IDF Lt. Col. (reserve) Jonathan Conricus is a spokesman for the IDF. He has been working overtime since Hamas attacked Israel and commenced its campaign of atrocities on October 7 and has now posted a fourth daily update on the ensuing war (below). I will reiterate two observations about these briefings. First, Conricus avoids the verbiage of moral equivalence in which, to take one example, Hamas terrorists become “militants.” To
