🔴🧵MUST READ:Mossad agents planted special devices in Nasrallah's secret bunker before his elimination by the IDF. Details in the thread:
It happened in September of last year, in the midst of the air force bombing of Hezbollah strongholds in Beirut's Dahiyya; several people sneaked into Haret Harik in the Shiite quarter with well-camouflaged packages in their hands. They were fully aware that if Hezbollah members discovered them, they would face the death penalty. Seizing the devices in their possession would cause enormous security damage to the State of Israel.
They crept through narrow alleys, clung to the walls, and hoped that the Mossad case officer, the operator who sent them on the mission, had coordinated with the IDF so that the Air Force would not bomb the route they took to reach the multi-story residential building beneath which Hezbollah's secret main headquarters bunker was located.
The intelligence that reached IDF Unit 8200 at that time indicated that Hassan Nasrallah, the mythical leader of the terrorist organization and the Shiite axis in general, had arranged to meet there with the commander of the Iranian Quds Force in Lebanon, General Abbas Nilfroushan, and with the commander of Hezbollah's southern front, Ali Karki, who had been marked as a possible successor to the leader.
The three were supposed to meet in a bunker that only a few of Hezbollah's security personnel and confidants knew about and were allowed to approach. The men who sneaked into the secret underground compound beneath the building were supposed to place the devices at pre-planned locations. They estimated that the chances of returning safely from the mission were 50-50, since even if they were not caught by Hezbollah members who were roaming the area, there was a significant chance they would be hit by shrapnel from bombs dropped by the Air Force.
A few hours before these brave men set out, a difficult conversation took place between them and their operator. They expressed their readiness to undertake the dangerous and vital mission assigned to them, but they also demanded that the Air Force cease the intense bombings that had particularly affected the entire Dahiyya and Haret Khreik neighborhood during this period.
The Mossad operator convinced them that for the sake of their safety, the Air Force would bomb and even increase the attacks during the operation. This way, he said, Hezbollah security personnel would be forced to take cover and would not prevent them from approaching the bunker, which was physically difficult to access and well-secured on normal days. The Mossad operatives understood and agreed to embark on the dangerous mission, which they carried out perfectly and unharmed under the cover of the heavy bombings.
The equipment that Mossad operatives brought into the region is a story in itself, as if taken from science fiction. Its development was completed in 2022, about a year before that terrible day on October 7, 2023. The Mossad understood that a device was needed that would ensure the achievement of the purpose of a precise attack at varying depths; the need for it arose not only because of Lebanon but mainly because the Mossad was also working to destroy the Iranian nuclear program.
The Defense Ministry's Weapons Development Department collaborated with intelligence and technology personnel to develop the equipment. The Air Force and the defense companies Rafael and Elbit also worked together with them, developing the special precision and deep penetration capabilities of the munitions that the IDF was supposed to drop on the places where the devices would be placed.
The accuracy of the munitions hitting the ground in Dahiyya was critical; on rocky terrain, even a heavy bomb weighing a ton can miss its target if it does not strike the exact route of the tunnel or deviates by even a meter. In such a case, the people in the tunnel would at most be injured. Therefore, it was important to the developers of the equipment and munitions that were created that the bomb hit exactly the target and the purpose would be achieved.
The fact that the Mossad operatives had planted the devices in Dahiyya in advance, in the location that the Intelligence Directorate had indicated as the bunker where Nasrallah would meet with his advisors, made it possible to eliminate the Hezbollah Secretary-General. At 6:20 p.m. on September 27, ten Air Force planes dropped 83 bombs weighing 83 tons each on the area where this underground headquarters was located deep underground. F-15I ("Thunder") planes from the 69th ("Hammers") Squadron participated in the air operation, along with F-16I ("Storm") planes that dropped US-made BLU-109 bombs, known in the Air Force as "Heavy Hail." These bombs were equipped with a target guidance mechanism, in addition to the standard GPS guidance that was in their homing mechanisms.
From the outset, the Air Force's plan was, due to the precision of the homing and penetration mechanisms, to use half the number of bombs that were ultimately dropped—but then-Defense Minister Yoav Galant, when approving the operation, demanded that the number of bombs be doubled to ensure that Nasrallah would not emerge from the incident alive. Along with Nasrallah, Ali Karki, the Iranian general, and about 300 other people were also killed, most of them Hezbollah operatives who were in the vicinity. This bombing and the elimination of the leader of the Shiite organization effectively led to the defeat of Hezbollah.

🚨🧵IDF RELEASES SHOCKING DETAILS OF The plan devised by Abu Obeida to stop the operation to conquer Gaza City: This is how Hams' consciousness and propaganda apparatus in Gaza operates. A series of new revelations about Hamas's propaganda, consciousness, and influence apparatus, which until this week was headed by the military wing spokesman Abu Obeida.
Hams's propaganda and consciousness apparatus included about 1,500 terrorists (in contrast, about 2 times all the regular soldiers the IDF has in the corresponding apparatuses - the IDF spokesman and the influence department). This is an array that Abu Obeida has built up over the past decade, and its strength has significantly increased. During Protective Edge, it included about 400 terrorists, and since then, it has quadrupled in size in a decade.
The majority of the array - about 1,000 terrorists - consists of terrorists deployed in the field, in Hams battalions and brigades. Each battalion and brigade in the military wing has a propaganda director, a senior representative on Abu Obeida's behalf who manages the consciousness efforts, and under him are terrorists who are "operational documenters" who have been trained in field photography. In recent years, Abu Obeida has led an extensive procurement and equipping effort of GoPro cameras, camera protection kits, carrying cases, and batteries.

🚨🧵 The Washington Post reveals what was discussed at the dramatic meeting at the White House last week regarding the "day after" in the Gaza Strip. So for everyone who mistakenly thought that Trump's plan to evacuate the Strip was dead, here are the amazing details:
Trump proposes establishing an American trusteeship regime to replace Hams rule in Gaza for a period of at least ten years, with the aim of renewing the Strip and turning it into the "Riviera of the Middle East.”
The plan includes developing luxury tourist areas, establishing 6 to 8 smart cities based on AI, new industrial zones, and new infrastructure, with the help of private and public investments. A significant portion of the money will presumably come from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, while the US wants to see Qatar involved as well (Israel is less keen)

🧵A new Axis of Evil is quietly emerging in the Middle East, but it's not the one you've been told to fear. It's not Tehran. It's not the Shia Axis. It's something far more insidious—and it's hiding in plain sight: Turkey, Qatar, and Syria.

Let’s dive in.
The Axis we were all accustomed to, led by Iran and its proxies, was open and visible: Hezbollah, the Houthis, Iraqi militias. However, it was also recognized, isolated, and openly adversarial to the West. Israel could cripple this Axis because everyone agreed that it was the enemy. This new Axis? It wears Western suits, speaks the language of diplomacy, and plays both sides.
Let’s start with Turkey, the fangs of the Axis and a full-fledged NATO member. Under the quasi-Sultan Erdogan, it has drifted from secularism toward authoritarian Islamism. It hosts Hamas leaders, ethnically cleanses Kurdish groups allied with the U.S., and cozies up to Russia and China while still enjoying NATO protection.

🔴🧵The Secret Connection Between Greta Thunberg and Zaher Birawi, Head of Hams's European Command. An instigation by Ad Kan organization published by C14
The Madeleine was not a human rights flotilla; this is a Hams flotilla in Europe! Behind the title 'aid to Gaza' stands a well-oiled and well-produced international propaganda network led by Hams. There are almost no aid goods or equipment on these flotillas, but mainly communication and photographic equipment.
About three weeks ago, a new organization was established, the global sumud flotilla. The activists, including Greta, are preparing for what they call "the biggest attempt ever to break the siege on Gaza" with a flotilla of dozens of ships and participants from 44 countries that will leave ports in Spain at the end of August. So who is behind it?

🔴 🧵 US Ambassador to France Charles Kushner published an open letter to Macron: "Public statements haranguing Israel embolden extremists, fuel violence, and endanger Jewish life in France."
Dear President Macron,

On the 81st anniversary of the Allied Liberation of Paris, which ended the deportation of Jews from French soil, I write out of deep concern over the dramatic rise of antisemitism in France and the lack of sufficient action by your government to confront it.

Antisemitism has long scarred French life, but it has exploded since Hamas’s barbaric assault on Oct. 7, 2023. Since then, pro-Hamas extremists and radical activists have waged a campaign of intimidation and violence across Europe. In France, not a day passes without Jews assaulted in the street, synagogues or schools defaced, or Jewish-owned businesses vandalized. Your own Interior Ministry has reported antisemitic incidents even at preschools.
Public statements haranguing Israel and gestures toward recognition of a Palestinian state embolden extremists, fuel violence, and endanger Jewish life in France. In today’s world, anti-Zionism is antisemitism—plain and simple.

🔴🧵The IDF investigation into yesterday's attack by Hams terrorists on the outpost in Khan Yunis: The tunnel from which the terrorists emerged and which was previously treated by the IDF, the observation camera that was neutralized by the terrorists' fire, and the fighters who woke up from their sleep to storm and fight
The attack was carried out by a platoon of about 15 terrorists, opposite a company-level defense of the Kfir Brigade, which the IDF has been stationed in for several weeks, and from which it has been conducting raids and attacks in the "Magen Oz" area in western Khan Yunis. The terrorists emerged from a tunnel shaft 40-50 meters from the defense and split into three squads. At the beginning of the attack, the terrorists shot at and damaged an observation camera, which is why the observation was less effective. The fighters discovered the terrorists' infiltration when they had already penetrated the outpost.
The first squad - a detachment of 6-7 terrorists- surrounded the earthen embankment surrounding the defense, and reached a building where there was a force under the command of the deputy company commander, and where most of the fighters were sleeping. Two of the terrorists entered the building, the platoon commander woke his fighters, and they jumped out of their sleep and engaged in combat. The terrorists shot and threw grenades, and battle ensued inside the building - until some of the terrorists were eliminated and the rest withdrew. The IDF positively notes the fighters, who, despite being awakened from sleep, functioned well, and managed to conduct combat from 0 to 100, eliminate the terrorists, and push them out.
