🧵KHAMENEI"S DILEMMA: The NYT, in an interesting expose, detailed how Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei convened Iran's Supreme National Security Council yesterday to discuss a response. According to the report, Khamenei said he wanted revenge, but did not want to act rashly. During the meeting, there were differences of opinion on how to respond and whether to prepare for a prolonged war, given the severe damage to Iran's air defense system and missile capabilities, and the fear that the United States would also be drawn into the war. One participant warned that if Israel were to attack Iran's energy and water facilities, it could spark widespread internal protests.

🔴🧵ANALYSIS: IS HAMS SHOWING SIGNS OF A BREAKDOWN? Last week, Hams did not respond to Witkoff's proposal. They neither accepted nor rejected it, providing no response at all. However, tonight, they finally delivered a message, initially sending it to Israel. When Israel rejected the proposal, Hams publicized it through the media, likely aiming to indirectly pressure Israel. Regardless, the nature of their response suggests that Hams is under significant strain. Food Distribution: If the Israeli-American initiative to distribute food in Gaza succeeds, Hams will lose one of its last remaining tools for controlling the population—food aid. This is a crucial point in the campaign, and the remaining leadership of the organization is undoubtedly aware of its importance.

🚨🧵The details of the Mossad operation to bring Eli Cohen's archive from Syria: The original documents and personal items are from the finds found in Syria. Among the documents was the original will, which Eli Cohen wrote hours before his execution and of which only a copy has been publicly revealed so far.

The special archive includes approximately 2,500 documents, photographs, and personal and original objects, most of which are being revealed for the first time. These materials were collected by Syrian intelligence after his capture in January 1965 and include recordings and documentation from the interrogation files of the late Eli Cohen and of those with whom he was in contact, handwritten letters from him to his family in Israel, photographs of his activities during his operational mission in Syria, and personal objects taken from his home after his capture. Among his personal belongings were the keys to his apartment in Damascus, forged passports and documentation that he used, and many photos from his period of clandestine activity in Syria, including documentation of the late Eli Cohen with senior Syrian military and government officials. In addition, the numerous entries found in notebooks and diaries collected from his home by Syrian intelligence included, among other things, missions he received from the Mossad to carry out covertly, including a request to conduct surveillance on a target and a mission to bring intelligence on Syrian military bases in Contra.

🔴🧵THE DETAILS OF OPERATION GIDEON'S CHARIOTS: From A Senior Israeli security official

Operation "Gideon's Chariots," which aims to defeat and subdue Hams in Gaza and release all hostages, was unanimously approved yesterday by the Political-Security Cabinet. By the plan formulated by the IDF Chief of Staff and the IDF Command and approved by the Minister of Defense and the Prime Minister, the IDF will increase its forces and act forcefully to defeat and subdue Hams and destroy its military and governmental capabilities while creating intense pressure for the release of all the hostages.

🧵🚨BREAKING 🚨Israel Defense Minister Katz reveals for the first time the correspondence between Iran Deif and Sinwar: "I present here today unequivocal proof of Iran's support for Hams' plan to destroy Israel and the October 7 massacre. Deif and Sinwar demanded $500 million from the Quds Force commander for the destruction of Israel and the fight against the US - and they received it."


"I am here today visiting the Special Operations Unit—a special unit established during the 'Iron Swords' War and based on reservists who bring extensive knowledge from many fields and have developed a national capability that did not exist before—an intelligence capability that currently holds critical materials that were physically collected from deep within the territory: archives of Hams, Hezbollah, and other sensitive intelligence sources.

🧵The 10 main lessons the IDF has learned from their investigation into the 10/7 massacre and prior Change in the concept of security—no enemy must be allowed to build a force on our border while civilians live next to it—and rely on deterrence and warning. Hams and Hezbollah must not return to what they were.

🧵 The IDF released today their investigation into the 10/7 conduct of the IDF, and prior to 10/7, here are the key takeaways from it. The IDF did not consider the scenario of a broad surprise attack. It was perceived as unlikely, and not even a scenario close to it. This is a key issue that the IDF was not prepared for.

🧵THREAD The left in Israel, with help from the lefty media, chanted for a year, "Bring them home AT ALL COST." Besides the release of hundreds of terrorists, here is what Hams is doing in Gaza during the ceasefire; this is what AT ALL COST means: Many thousands of its operatives returned from the southwest of the Gaza Strip to the north following the withdrawal from the Netzarim corridor, among the half a million Gazans who did the same.

🧵 A THREAD: Israel's plan for the next phase in Gaza, as outlined by Tamir Morag Ch. 14 News, involves a demand for the mass deportation of Hams operatives from the Gaza Strip, not just the organization's leaders. This demand could be a condition for implementing phase two of the hostage deal and bringing an end to the war. In recent weeks, we have reported on Israel’s three conditions for ending the conflict:
1. The release of all hostages, both living and deceased. 2. The dismantling of Hams's military wing and disarmament of the Gaza Strip.
3. The exile of Hams leaders from the Gaza Strip (termed "Safe Exit").

🧵🔴Analysis: What Happened This Week with the Hostage Deal? Based on everything I'm hearing today from Israel (unofficially), Arab media, and Hams, we can better understand the events of this week. Hams manufactured a crisis over the mobile homes and bulldozers, likely trying to assert their influence and seeking more concessions from Israel, possibly under the encouragement of Qatar. However, President Trump undermined their attempt by issuing an ultimatum.

🧵🔴 MUST READ: Horrifying testimonies from the captivity of Or Eli and Ohad, who returned yesterday - testimonies that must be heard about the hell of captivity in Gaza The three were deliberately starved, going for long days without any food at all. Every few days, they were given rotten pita bread, which they were forced to share with other hostages who were with them. Long days passed without being given water. They did not drink, and one of the hostages collapsed in captivity - a traumatic event that the hostages who were with him thought he was dead.

🚨🧵 New Testimonies from our three released hostages today. Or Levi and Eli Sharabi were together throughout their captivity; Ohad Ben Ami only reached them yesterday evening before their release. The three hostages were held alongside other hostages The hostages spoke of being starved: "We were constantly hungry." Some of the hostages released today have gone down 3-5 sizes

🔴🧵ANALYSIS: Is Trump's Gaza plan real or not? After all the excitement from yesterday's meeting between Trump and Bibi, let's try to understand what is behind it. Is it real, or is Trump just shaking things up? IMHO, I have significant doubts that the U.S. will take over Gaza; I think Trump put it out there because this is what he knows how to do best—negotiate, and this time, he negotiates using Middle Eastern language.

🚨🧵Israeli Ch. 13 News: The IDF found in Gaza the operation command order given to Hams operatives TWO WEEKS BEFORE 10/7; the brain behind the operation was Mohammed Deif (who was eliminated by the IDF in July 2024). Here are the details: The date was chosen as 10/7/23; the order was given on 9/23/23 to 25 senior members of Hams, the brigade commanders, and battalion commanders. The top leadership already knew and was part of the planning.

🔴🧵As part of the agreement to return the hostages, the Rafah Crossing opened today for the first time since the beginning of May. The full details on the opening of the crossing and the conditions agreed upon between Israel and Hams 👇 According to an Israeli security source, the crossing will only be opened for the EXIT of Gazans - from Gaza out, and NO ENTRY of any party into Gaza.

🔴🧵PHASE 2 OF THE HOSTAGE DEAL NEW INFO: An Israeli official involved in the process is hinting that Israel intends to return to fighting in Gaza when the agreement to release the hostages is exhausted. "We are committed to all the goals of the war. Thanks to our heroic soldiers, we destroyed about 85% of Hams's military capabilities in Gaza and rescued about 2/3 of the hostages. We are committed to returning everyone and destroying all of Hams' capabilities in Gaza. No less," says the senior Israeli official.

🧵I came across today the story of this horrifying photo. My friend @NoaMagid posted the events leading to this photo in Hebrew, and I want to share with everyone (in case you missed it) one of the horrors of 10/7. Never forget, never forgive. Dozens of terrorists arrived at Kibbutz Hulit, going from house to house and slaughtering people. Adi (the mom of the babies pictured), who heard gunshots, called Anani (the dad), who was outside Hulit, and asked him to remind her how to operate the M16 rifle she had taken out of the safe. After instructing her, she went into the bomb shelter with the children, and since then, they have been in contact. At that time, a terrorist broke into their house, and Anani killed him with a rifle. After him, other terrorists entered, and she protected her children with her body.

🧵ALMOST 500 DAYS INTO THE GAZA WAR – DOES HAMS REGRET IT? As the hostage/ceasefire deal in Gaza plays out, there have been many voices commenting on Hams’ apparent “resurrection”. How accurate is this assessment and what does the group really think? Ehud Ya’ari from Channel 12 lays it all out in his commentary this morning 👇 Hams’ supposed recovery is the subject of endless discourse, but one can already detect their regret for the war, which they initiated on 10/7. The most senior surviving military commander in the Gaza Strip - the commander of the Gaza Brigade, Izz ad-Din al-Haddad, lays out a spectacular lie to prove it.

🧵RELEASE OF ISRAELI HOSTAGES – HOW WILL IT WORK? @Doron_Kadosh of IDF Radio published the details on how the release of the Israeli hostages will work from start to finish. Here’s how it’s supposed to happen over the next 42 days 👇 The process starts when the list of hostages to be released are transferred from Hamas to the PM of Qatar about 24 hours before the release. The list is approved by the negotiation team, and the recommendation is forwarded to PM Netanyahu for approval.

🧵BIBI'S SPEECH TONIGHT – WHAT DID HE SAY? Tonight, PM Netanyahu addressed the Israeli public on the incoming hostage deal and ceasefire in Gaza. Here's what you need to know 👇 🔵“We will meet all war goals - we will bring everyone home.”

🔵“We reserve the right to return to war, if necessary, with the support of the US.”

🧵EXCERPTS FROM WHAT BIBI TOLD THE CABINET: Israeli journalists have started to release excerpts from what PM Netanyahu told the Cabinet and the Knesset during the hours of debate last night before they voted to approve the hostage deal. Here are the takeaways 👇 Bibi told the Cabinet that Hamas demanded, as a condition for its entry into the framework for further release, that Israel commit in advance to ending the war and evacuating Gaza – but he did not agree to this. This was the main obstacle to the deal, and he was not willing to compromise on it.
