New Documentary Reveals Inside Story of Israel’s Historic Hostage Rescue in Gaza!
Operation Arnon reveals the gripping inside story of a daring, high-stakes IDF rescue mission to free four hostages from Hamas in Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp. Through harrowing firsthand accounts, the film explores the extraordinary courage and sacrifice that prove hope can endure, even in the darkest of moments.
On June 8, 2024, Israeli special forces executed a daring daylight raid deep into Hamas-controlled territory in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. In a meticulously planned mission involving precise intelligence, simultaneous assaults on multiple buildings where hostages were held by Hamas in civilian homes, and extraction under intense enemy fire, the IDF successfully rescued four hostages: Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv — all kidnapped during the October 7, 2023, Nova Music Festival massacre.
The operation, originally codenamed “Seeds of Summer,” was renamed Operation Arnon in honor of Chief Inspector Arnon Zmora of the elite Yamam counterterrorism unit, who was fatally wounded while leading the breaching force to free three of the hostages. His sacrifice, alongside the heroism of commanders, intelligence officers, and the rescue teams, underscores the extraordinary risks taken to bring innocents home.
From Palladium Pictures, this powerful documentary features rare firsthand accounts from Israeli commanders and intelligence officials, emotional interviews with Arnon Zmora’s family, and a gripping reconstruction of the planning, execution, and chaotic firefight that ensued as Hamas and Islamic Jihad fighters swarmed the area. It also addresses the international controversy and debates surrounding the raid.
The film is the latest release in Palladium Pictures’ new slate of original documentaries and is now premiering on RealClearPolitics.
This is a story of courage, sacrifice, precision, and the human cost of rescuing hostages from a terrorist organization that uses civilians as shields. In an era of ongoing global conflict and hostage crises, Operation Arnon offers viewers an unfiltered look inside one of Israel’s most complex special operations.

- Dr. Graceffo, you are safely back in Rome, by way of Poland. Putin has been attacking Ukraine bridges (3 of 6 Kiev’s road bridges); why is he doing this at this stage in the war?
- Chancellor Fred Merz has committed to provide assistance to Ukraine ($1.5 Billion Dollars in military aid). How do you think Putin will respond against Germany?
- What do you make of Russian reports of an outbreak of “The Plague” in Siberia? Have the Russian’s been developing this kind of bio weapon, or could bio labs in Ukraine have been the source?
- What is it like for you; out of Ukraine, now watching the war from afar?
- Italy and Canada falling behind the U.S. in prosperity!

9:35 · ICE presses ahead with enforcement partnerships despite sanctuary policies!
- Congressional Democrats who have organized protests outside of a federal immigration detention center in New Jersey have not provided the public with any details about the violent nature of those who are incarcerated. They also have not commented on the taxpayer-funded benefits the illegal aliens have received.
- But House and Senate members have leveled several accusations against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) and its Delaney Hall facility in Newark that do not square with the facts. They have also joined with Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D) to advance sanctuary policies that obstruct law enforcement efforts.
- ICE has made a concerted effort to keep the public informed about its operations while also releasing detailed information about the criminal history of detained illegal aliens. But there appears to be a media blackout imposed against any coverage of successful law enforcement efforts.
- Most recently, for instance, ICE arrested two illegal aliens in New Jersey as part of a nationwide effort to root out fraudulent commercial driver’s license (CDL) activity. ICE arrested Zokhid Zakhidov, 37, in Woodbridge and Khayrullo Payzullaev, 30, in Hamilton on August 23. Both men are Uzbek citizens. Both men are, moreover, a menace to public safety.
- Zakhido possessed a New York commercial learner permit when he was arrested. He has been convicted for driving while intoxicated and has pending charges for “assault with intent to cause physical injury and harassment,” according to an ICE press release. Payzullaev held a “non-domiciled Pennsylvania commercial driver’s license” when he was arrested, the release said.
- The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) formed a partnership in July for the purpose of cracking down on fraudulent and illegal practices in CDL schools. This is precisely the kind of cooperative effort between government agencies that Sherrill and other Democrats have opposed in blue states. In March, Sherrill signed a bill that prevents state and local authorities from participating in the 287(g) program, which enables local officials to enforce federal immigration laws. New Jersey has never looked back.
- Why are Governor Sherill and her co-conspirators in the New Jersey Democrat Communist Party turning a blind eye to safety of those who drive in New Jersey?
- When news hit the fan that her Lt. Governor was making sexual advances toward his staffers, he was out. Why? Because he became a political liability. Illegals with CDL’s in New Jersey do not seem to be a political liability to Mikie and her fellow Dem-Com’s?
- New Jersey media is by and large, the NY media!
- The New Jersey State Police are under the thumb of Sherill, they are not going to assist ICE. Who is currently working with ICE?

- The Supreme Court kicked off a new term Monday, with the justices wrestling with an attempt by oil companies to throw out lawsuits alleging they should pay damages for the impacts of climate change.
- Although the case concerns a specific lawsuit the city and county of Boulder, Colorado, brought against Exxon Mobil and Suncor Energy, the ultimate decision could have broad ramifications for more than two dozen similar lawsuits brought by cities and counties around the country.
- The justices — lacking a ninth member because Justice Samuel Alito recused himself — asked tough questions of both sides as they tackled broad legal questions raised in the case. Alito’s absence raises the possibility of a 4-4 split ruling that would leave the legal issues unresolved while allowing the Boulder case to move forward.
- Did liberal justices on the court recuse themselves because they are probably heavily invested in green energy?
- Boulder officials say they face increasing costs because of the impacts of climate change, including efforts to minimize risks from wildfires. Just this summer, Colorado has experienced extreme heat, drought and multiple fires.
- Sam, I see this as another attempt by the Dem-Coms to eliminate fossil fuels by making them too expensive to purchase. Am I correct?
- If Boulder wins this case, what will be the outcome for the nation and consumers?
- Sam, President Trump signed an executive order yesterday to help farmers cope with the price of diesel. Can you explain this move and will it help?
- The head of the world’s biggest oil company (Aramco) says backup supplies are "SCARILY THIN." Are you alarmed?
- Crude oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz hit prewar levels, but fuel shipments remain constrained. Can you provide an update, Sam?
- If shipments though the Strait have increased to prewar levels, why are we not seeing relief at the pump?

- Zack, can you explain how this case got to the Supreme Court in the first place? Why did they agree to hear it when we thought the Chevron decision would eliminate these cases in the future?
- Based on the reactions of the justices, they appeared to be skeptical to the defendants. Why do you think?
- What will the Supreme Court decision mean to both parties? What will they eventually decide on?
- What evidence is there that climate change (proven to be a hoax) is real? Will the justices decide if it is real?
- Why do individual states have standing here? This case could destroy our economy.

11:00 · September inflation report is to be released next Wednesday, the 14th.
- The September 2026 Consumer Price Index comes out Wednesday, October 14, at 8:30 AM ET. It is the last inflation report before the Federal Reserve meets on October 27 and 28, and it arrives with a specific problem: the Cleveland Fed's nowcast has headline inflation rising to 3.6% while core inflation holds near 2.4%. Energy is pushing the headline up; everything else is behaving.
- The Cleveland Fed's inflation nowcast, updated October 2, projects September CPI up 0.53% for the month and 3.60% over the year, with core CPI up 0.20% for the month and 2.39% over the year. Early consensus trackers put the headline figure near 3.7%; the official survey estimates firm up in the days before the release.
- Headline rising from 3.4% to about 3.6%. A monthly gain near 0.5% would be driven by energy, as August's was.
- Core flat at about 2.4%. A 0.2% monthly core gain, annualized, is roughly 2.4%, which is near the Fed's 2% goal.
- A report that matches the nowcast tells the Fed that its own measure of underlying inflation is under control while the number households feel is getting worse. Those point in different policy directions, which is why the reaction on the 14th will depend on which figure the market and the Fed choose to weight.
- Why does this report matter to the Fed?
- The Fed raised its target range to 3.75% to 4.00% on September 16, its only hike so far this year, and we covered what that hike meant at the time. The question since has been whether a second one follows on October 28.
- Two reports decide it, and the first has already landed. The September jobs report on October 2 showed 29,000 jobs added and unemployment at 4.2%, and the odds of an October hike on the CME FedWatch tool fell to about 17% from 36% a week earlier, per CNBC. We wrote about why stocks rose on that weak report. CPI on October 14 is the second report.
- Core at or below 0.2% for the month: confirms the jobs report. A hike in October becomes very unlikely, and the discussion moves to December.
- Core at 0.3% or higher: reopens the hike debate, because the Fed cannot blame that on gasoline.
- Headline hot, core cool: the likeliest outcome by the nowcast, and the hardest to trade, because the first headline-driven move can reverse once the core figure is read.
- Tom, what are you predicting?

11:20 · Free speech no longer exists in the UK and there is plenty of evidence!
- Retired Police Officer Convicted and Fined Over £1,000 for Sharing Bacon Meme About Child Marriage — Warns ‘Blasphemy Law Is Back.’
- Britain’s relentless crackdown on so-called “offensive” speech has produced yet another astonishing criminal conviction, this time against a retired police officer who spent nearly three decades serving the public.
- Stephen Gray, 65, served nearly 30 years with Cleveland Police. He and his wife Alex, 62, have fostered children. None of that mattered once a neighbor he was already feuding with over a sewage pipe tipped off police about two posts Gray had reshared.
- According to The Telegraph and the Free Speech Union, Gray was interviewed under caution, the Crown Prosecution Service initially decided there was no realistic prospect of conviction, and the neighbor then used the Victims’ Right to Review scheme to force the case back on. The neighbor was not Muslim.
- One post, “time for mass deportation,” paired with a caption about a supposed “12-year-old Mohammed” who wanted donors to move him from a three-star hotel to a five-star hotel with a better halal menu, free Wi-Fi, Sky, and a location nearer a girls’ school, was treated as politics.
- The judge said it concerned an issue already debated in Parliament and acquitted Gray.
- The second post was the one that counted. It showed a rasher of bacon next to a man in a turban, with the caption: “Fun facts about bacon! People who eat bacon have a lower chance of marrying a 9-year-old!”

11:30 · Michigan Senate Race
According to poll data, El-Sayed is leading the race with 45.6%, while Rogers is at 41.4%. This poll has a margin of error of 3.8%.

Craig, what do you think is going to happen with this race? El Sayed gets a lot more press coverage than Rogers does.
- Will the House maintain Senate momentum on protecting women’s sports?
- Craig’s latest opinion piece in The American Thinker outlines the political battle to protect women’s sports in America!
Craig DeRoche, president and CEO of Family Policy Alliance and a former speaker of the Michigan House of Representatives, says House lawmakers now face a simple test: Will they preserve the protections for female athletes that senators fought to put into the Protect College Sports Act?
