🚨EXCLUSIVE NEW DETAILS ABOUT THE PAGERS - A THREAD: Just when you thought it couldn't get crazier, Reuters released brand new details about Mossad's brilliant pager operation against Hezbollah in September. I will break down the most important parts and the exciting moments. Let's start with the construction of the pagers themselves. The explosive component, Pentaerythritol tetranitrate (otherwise known as PETN), did the most damage. Mossad technicians found a way to insert a very thin square sheet of PETN between two battery cells and a strip of highly flammable material to act as a detonator. This entire package was placed into a plastic sleeve, which was encapsulated in a metal case roughly the size of a matchbox.

🔴MUST READ INSIDE STORY ON THE PAGER OPERATION: A summary of the Washington Post exclusive about how the Mossad's pager operation against Hezbollah unfolded. A thread 👇 This operation started in 2022, when the Mossad came up with the idea. At this point, Hezbollah was increasingly worried about its vulnerability to Israeli electronic surveillance and was looking for unconventional means of communication. The group specifically sought a "hack-proof electronic network for relaying messages." This is where the Mossad came in.

🔴🧵📰INSIDE THE MANHUNT FOR SINWAR A THREAD: The IDF (Division 98) came close to Sinwar a few times but missed him by an hour. Items, money, and weapons that were found indicated he stayed there hours before the IDF got to him. We are closer to him than before," states Shalom Ben Hanan, a former senior member of the Shin Bet. "Sometimes such opportunities arise within a minute. Suddenly, the "Golden Intel" arrives; someone sees him, and he makes some mistake. Undoubtedly, if we manage to reach the operational opportunity and the appropriate intelligence, there will be an elimination."

🔴🆕My general observation of Bibi's speech was that it was one of the best speeches in English he's ever given. He knows how to hold the audience, to be captivating, and to speak the language of the American people. His speech was brilliant. He was not divisive, thanking both Presidents Biden and Trump, and didn't touch any internal U.S. politics. As a small revenge at Vice President Harris, he did not mention her once in his speech. He came here to tell the story of the state of Israel and, more so, the story of 10/7 and the aftermath. He wanted to shatter all the lies and propaganda that the pro-Hamas are spreading. He put a particular emphasis on the strong relationship between Israel and the U.S., stating that if we join forces, we will be able to defend both our countries better. We do not just share the same values; we also share common enemies. Israel fights so that the U.S. will not need to fight. Please remember one sentence from the speech when Bibi said, our struggle is your struggle, and our victory will be your victory.

A THREAD: WHY ISRAEL CAN NEVER STOP THE WAR

Yesterday we learned the painful news about the death of 10 IDF soldiers in combat in Gaza. We ask ourselves how much longer will we have to pay this price? At the same time that the news broke, demonstrations were held in Tel Aviv calling for a deal with Hamas and for an end to the war.

On the other side, as you saw in my previous posts, demonstrations were held in Ramallah where the participants chanted for the murder of Jews and for the continuation of fighting against Israel.

It is important to mention that according to Hamas, there have been more than 37,000 Palestinians killed in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the war, over 10,000 missing and more than 85,000 wounded. So, I ask, how is it that the majority of Palestinians (and almost all of the Palestinian media) continue to be in favor of the war even after such a staggering amount of casualties and destruction on their side? On the Israeli side, I ask, how is it most of the media call for a ceasefire under almost any condition? And how is it that our demonstrations are the opposite of theirs? The Palestinians are demonstrating in favor of the continuation of the fighting and here we are demonstrating against it.

I have always been a firm believer that the side with the most patience will win. I now wish to add to that that whatever side has the most FIGHTING SPIRIT is the one who will win.
