תביטו בסרטון הזה מבתים פרטיים ליד טייבה שליד רמאללה, הוא מסכם את הסיפור כולו התעמרות יום יומית בקהילות פלסטיניות, השחתת רכוש, הצתת מטעים, אלימות. הכל בניסיון לגרש את הקהילות שגרות כאן. ככה נראה חיל החלוץ של תוכנית ההכרעה של סמוטריץ׳. כשאתם רואים בית מוצת על יושביו, תדעו שהתהליך מתחיל במה שאתם רואים בסרטון הזה.

I wrote this thread on the idea of a Missile Corps in Israel three months ago. The answers were largely negative, and I came away sort of persuaded. But I want to revisit the idea of maintaining a large missile arsenal, not as part of the conventional army that Israel would use in regular rounds, but as an extra layer of deterrence. Nuclear deterrence probably fails against a large missile arsenal. This is because no single large salvo is credibly construed as an existential threat, and there’s no sharp threshold such that more missiles than that would be so considered. This makes nuclear deterrence ineffective against a huge conventional missile arsenal. Moreover, a large and sustained enough saturation salvo has the potential to paralyze the air force. This poses a dilemma: a very large convention missile attack can disable the air force, making it difficult to stop or bring down to a strategically insignificant level (as it happened over the first few days of the war), but also resistant to nuclear deterrence. This is where a large conventional missile arsenal might help, and this arsenal could be specifically aimed at Kharg Island and Iran’s energy sector and civilian infrastructure. These are soft and big targets, so the lower accuracy of ballistic missiles is not an issue. A missile force could function as a medium-tier deterrent: more than just having a potent air force, but less than a nuclear deterrent. It is also as embargo-proof as it gets. It would send the massage: “don’t think you’re being smart when you’re planning an apocalyptic mass missile attack and calling it conventional, the response will also devastate your country, and that too will be conventional”. So perhaps Lieberman is on to something after all.

צה״ל מפרסם כי הפעולה שבה נפלו לוחמי צוות טנק המג״ד של גדוד 52 אתמול בלילה בכפר תבנית - הייתה פעולה לכיבוש רשת תת קרקעית גדולה של חזבאללה ברכס עלי א-טאהר בדרום לבנון. ״מדובר בכמה מתחמים תת קרקעיים, אחד מהם יותר מקילומטר והשאר באורך של כמה מאות מטרים״, מסביר קצין בכיר בצה״ל ואומר: ״זו תשתית אסטרטגית חסרת תקדים, מרכז העצבים של חזבאללה בדרום לבנון - המפקדה הראשית של יחידת בדר של חזבאללה״. לפי צה״ל, במתחם התת קרקעי שצה״ל פועל לכבוש מכותרים ונצורים כעת עשרות מחבלים - ולכן צה״ל הגיע לשם. בימים אלה מתנהלת לחימה במרחב התת קרקעי - וחזבאללה מגלה התנגדות, במטרה להגן על המחבלים הנצורים. בצבא טוענים: השיקולים בפעולה מקצועיים וענייניים בלבד. ועוד טוענים בצבא כי בניגוד לטענות חזבאללה, הפעולה ברכס עלי א-טאהר אינה מנוגדת להפסקת האש, משום שהרכס נמצא דרומית לקו הצהוב שצה״ל פרסם והגדיר (רק נאמר את מה שנדרש לומר - המפה שצה״ל פרסם לא בהכרח מקובלת על חזבאללה - ולכן מדובר בתנאי הפסקת אש שהוגדרו למעשה במעמד צד אחד). ״אלה הכללים שסוכמו ע״י הדרג המדיני, תשאלו את הדרג המדיני״, השיב קצין בכיר בצה״ל לשאלה בנושא בתדרוך כתבים לפני זמן קצר. בצה״ל מבהירים כי בניגוד לפרסומים, הסיבה לנפילת 4 לוחמי טנק המג״ד אינה תקלה מבצעית בטנק. לפי התחקיר הראשוני בצה״ל, יש פגיעה חיצונית ודאית בטנק - ומסתמן שמדובר בפגיעה של רחפן נפץ עם ראש קרבי של טיל נ״ט.

Jerusalem from the plane. One day, I will conquer this city.

1 thing I know: Even though that Hill is completely exposed with no Buildings, it is strategically well fortified Its location gives it a significant Defensive Advantage, and the IDF is advancin from the most exposed Approach Route. Takin it is not impossible, but it would likely come at a high cost and require Remarkable effeort

RAFAEL UNVEILS “IRON WASP” COUNTER-DRONE SYSTEM Rafael has unveiled the Iron Wasp, a new system designed to counter explosive drones. The system is being developed together with SuperUAV and is expected to be integrated with additional defense systems on military vehicles. The company has not specified the current stage of development or when the system is expected to become operational. As explosive drones become one of the defining threats on the modern battlefield, Israel’s defense industry is racing to build the next generation of mobile counter-drone solutions.

Some good news for you today: Jews have returned to the Herodian-era pool near Patzael (Samaria-Jordan Valley), cleaned it, and refilled it after years of neglect 🇮🇱

Hardliners in Iran are furious about the deal. They want revenge. Khamenei’s blood is still fresh, and “now Ghalibaf and Araghchi are signing with the enemy?” The unity against Israel and the US is what held this regime together. As that fades, and the economic collapse continues, expect the cracks to show. One Iranian source on the ground told me the hardliner base wants “Ghalibaf and Araghchi’s heads on a stick”

Mohsen Mahdawi is 34 years old. He first enrolled at Birzeit University in the West Bank in 2008 and studied there for six years. In 2018 he enrolled as an undergraduate at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. He stayed there until 2021, and never earned a credential despite enrolling as a seventh year senior and being a full time student there for four years. Despite this extremely suspicious academic record, he was admitted as a transfer to Columbia University — a school which rejects over 97% of applicants — where he attended as an undergraduate for another four years. Columbia’s rules explicitly state that students must be progressing toward an on-time graduation, but they accepted Mahdawi as an eleventh year undergraduate and allowed him to remain a student in good standing even though he was evidently not maintaining a full course load. His student status was a pretext; he was acting as a full-time anti-American, anti-Jewish and pro-terrorism activist. Since he claims to be a Palestinian refugee, it is unclear who was paying his tuition or providing for his rent and expenses in New York City while he was engaged in subverting American institutions. He finally earned a bachelor’s degree in May 2025 from one of the top five American universities after 17 years as an undergraduate and was accepted to a master’s program at Columbia even though the State Department was already trying to deport him on national security grounds. Democrats at every level fought hard to keep him in the country.

This is an argument that has been repeated often for many years, and here's the thing: Everyone on all sides of the conflict knows deep down that this is 100% true.

כמות הזבל האנטישמי שיש ברשת הזו פשוט מדהימה. אם בעבר אנשים שחיפשו טראפיק זול היו מפרסמים תמונות של בחורות בלבוש מינימלי, עכשיו זה פשוט להגיד "יהודים" וזה כמו משרוקית כלבים. מילת הקסם שמבטיחה אינגייג'מנט קל וחסר מאמץ.
