How Their Media Circus Handed Israel a Treasure Trove of Intelligence and a one golden evidence to fight International Courts | ππΉπ€ππΆπ΄πͺπ·π¦ ππ―π’ππΊπ΄πͺπ΄

On Saturday, Hamas staged an elaborate media event in βPalestine Squareβ in central Gaza to hand over four Israeli hostages, Karina, Daniella, Naama and Liri, projecting an image of strength and control. But behind the spectacle, they unknowingly gifted Israeli intelligence agencies a goldmine of actionable intelligence. And one golden evidence that could clear Israel in the International Court of Justice.
What Hamas intended as a propaganda win has become an intelligence windfall for Israel. From identification of personnel to tracing equipment and corroborating claims in international legal battles, the event revealed far more than Hamas likely intended. Their media spectacle, meant to intimidate Israel,and portray an image of victory and control, may instead come back to haunt them as Israeli intelligence pieces together the puzzle they so freely provided.

THE MEDIA CIRCUS THAT REVEALED TOO MUCH
Hamas choreographed every aspect of the event, but their attempts to showcase power became a glaring display of vulnerabilities. Hundreds of Gazans with smartphones and internet and GPS connection, filmed the event from multiple angles, inadvertently capturing faces, vehicles, and locations. The Hebrew signs displayed on stage saying βZionism Wonβt Winβ trace back to local businesses, offering potential leads on suppliers and organizers.
Even the table used in the event and was stationed in the middle of the stage, has appeared in earlier footage linked to Hamas headquarters, providing additional confirmation of operational locations.

SUSPICIOUS βFIGHTERSβ IN THE SPOTLIGHT
The masked men posing to the cameras as Hamas fighters raised eyebrows. Their movements and handling of weapons lacked the discipline typical of trained operatives. Freshly issued uniforms suggested they were hastily assembled for show rather than representing active Qassam Brigade members. Their presence raises a question: Where are the real fighters for 1.5 years? If they were active in combat, Israeli forces would likely have neutralized them during the recent Gaza operations. Considering the presence of IDF forces in the area, real Qassam Brigades fighters would be a major target, even Hamas is not that foolish to put their best fighters in the front like that.

CUTTING-EDGE FACE RECOGNITION
Israelβs Shin Bet is well-equipped to exploit such footage. Advanced AI facial recognition technology, developed by Israeli company Corsight, can identify individuals even under masks. By cross-referencing facial features - such as eyes and partial profiles with existing databases, Israeli intelligence could already be mapping key figures in Hamasβ ranks, including new recruits who are assisting them.
π½
THE FORENSIC TRAIL
The uniforms worn by the hostages will undoubtedly undergo DNA analysis to trace their captors and the area they were kept in. Similarly, the Tavor (TAR-21) rifles seen held by Hamas in the footage are of particular interest. These weapons, originally used exclusively by IDF soldiers, may have been taken during abductions of soldiers who fought on October 7th. Tracking the riflesβ origins could lead directly to those involved in the attacks or kidnappings. Possibly also lead to the whereabouts of IDF soldiers who are still in captivity.

HAMASβS GRAVE MISTAKE WHICH PROVIDES ISRAEL A GOLDEN EVIDENCE IN THE ICC/ICJ
But hereβs the crown jewel of what Hamas has provided Israel, without even knowing: The Tavor rifles provide a counterargument to international claims implicating Israeli soldiers in civilian deaths. These claims in the ICC/ICJ are based solely on Forensic reports on the munition found in the deceased as evidence, claiming these civilians were killed by Israeli Tavor rifles. This evidence showing Hamas operatives wielding these weapons may serve as critical proof in debunking allegations against Israel in international courts.Especially with the amount of videos available of Hamas shooting its own people in the streets of Gaza, and the lack of ANY videos of IDF soldiers doing so.

Israelβs largest airstrikes in years targeted an Iranian missile facility near Masyaf. Reports say Israeli forces infiltrated the site and gathered key intelligence.
Hereβs what we know π
According to Middle East researcher Eva Koulouriotis, special Israeli forces reportedly infiltrated an Iranian missile facility near Masyaf, gathered intelligence, and possibly extracted engineers from the site.
π½
The facility belongs to βInstitute 4000β - within βDepartment 4β of the Syrian Scientific Studies and Research Center (SSRC), which deals with various projects for missile development and precision, including the upgrading of βFateh 110β missiles produced in Iran for Hezbollah.

WHO IS BEHIND THE ELIMINATION OF ISMAIL HANIYEH?
DO THE MATH
As much as Israel and the Mossad would love to take credit for the elimination of Ismail Haniyeh, here are the facts you wonβt hear on mainstream media:
(Thread)
π
β’ The Investigation says the elimination was done from a nearby building by a Spike NLOS missile.
- The last time Israel used a Spike missile was in Syria, as Israeli Air Force only utilises these missiles as an armament for Apache helicopters.
π½
Geolocation @BenTzionMacales
β’ It is extremely unlikely that anyone managed to smuggle a missile in that size from Israel to Teheran undetected, let alone (in broad daylight) get it into a building right across the most secured area in Teheran, where Ismail Haniyeh was staying.
π΄
Few side-notes about the Elimination of FuΔd Shukr in Beirut tonight that you will not hear in the news studios:
π
1. Pay attention to the diversion:
After Hezbollah launched a rocket killing 12 children in Majdal-Shams, Israel mentioned Ali-Muhammad Yehye, commander of the Chebaa area on their statements.
Causing movement of Hezbollah members, which made FuΔd Shukr vulnerable.
π½
2. Israel has declared Shukrβs death before Hezbollah even issued a statement, which is highly unusual.
The entire area of the strike was immediately hermetically closed and surrounded by Hezbollah.
Meaning: Israel has sources on the ground, even in the core of the Dahieh.
THE "NETANYAHU VISIT RAFAH" EFFECT ANONG PALESTINIANS
Without a doubt, this became the most talked-image among Palestinian users on social media.
Fatah supporters lashed at Hamas supporters mercilessly, while Hamas supporters tried to defend themselves..
π
The cognitive effect was particularly strong due to the contrast with Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
Let me explain:
π
Netanyahu, the most protected figure in Israel, is sitting on a chair, leg crossed within the Palestinian territory in Gaza, while Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is hiding in a tunnel, not showing his face and not visiting the residents of the Gaza strip, his own citizens.

HAMAS IS ABOUT TO REPLICATE THE HEZBOLLAH BLUEPRINT IN GAZA
Hamas has been advancing their plan largely unnoticed, until @IgnatiusPost recently unrolled the details of the current hostages deal for @washingtonpost.
It is now evident,
This is Hamasβs real vision for Gaza:
π½
According to the Washington Post, Hamas is willing to relinquish civil governance in Gaza, thereby ending the war, but behind the scenes, the organization is planning to adopt Hezbollah's model in Lebanon.
The dramatic plan recently revealed in talks between Israel and Hamas
π½
The article reports on a plan, according to the Washington Post, to end Hamas's control in Gaza and replace it with an interim administration.
Looking at the map of @IDF and @orfialkovβs coordinates the first question being asked is who owns the property in which Muhammad Deif and Rafa Salame were located.
It indicates a lot about the Intel led to this operation.
Hereβs how
π
The area in red belongs to the Agha family, a prominent, historic family in Gaza, mostly in Khan Younis.
Originated from Aleppo (Syria) The Al-Agha family has roots going back several decades and has been influential in the region.
π‘
They also hold a Canadian citizenship
π½
In the U.S, the Al-Agha family members modified their name to Elagha and are deeply involved with Universities, political organisations and several Anti-Israel NGOβs.
