🧵What are Israel's options after the ICC issues arrest warrants? Sources in Israel said last night that after seeing the unexpected massive backlash from the US and other countries, the ICC realized they went too far and are looking for a "ladder to climb down." A Thread Israel can appeal within five days, but it will most likely decide to ignore the warrants to finish the issues with the ICC once and for all. The ICC clearly stepped outside its boundaries.

🔴📰 NEW DETAILS about the IDF naval commando operation that captured the senior Hezbollah official in northern Lebanon. Thread:

1. The Israeli commando operation in northern Lebanon has been planned for a long time, and in Israel, they waited for the operational and intelligence opportunity to carry it out. The intelligence officials followed Imad Amhz for some time, waiting for an opportunity when they could say there was a high certainty of the operation's success. In the end, the execution of Sheytet 13 was accurate and ended without any unusual events and resistance - there was no battle with terrorists, and the detainee also did not express resistance and surrendered to the hands of the fighters 2. The IDF did not intend to take responsibility for the operation, and if it had not been published in the Lebanese media - it would have been kept secret. However, after the action was exposed in the media in Lebanon, the IDF discussed the issue and decided to take responsibility. Yet security officials say: we prepared for a situation where the operation would be exposed, and we knew there was a high probability of cameras filming the forces' activity - this did not prevent the operation.

🚨🚨MUST READ: TONS OF BRAND NEW DETAILS ON THE ISRAELI ATTACK ON IRAN 🧵: Below you will find some unbelievable new details on the operation, courtesy of IDF Radio and with the approval of the military censor👇 The attack destroyed ALL of Iran's long-range surface-to-air missile batteries. Iran had two such models: the Russian S-300 and an Iranian-made model. All long-range detection radars were also destroyed. Iran is left with only short-range batteries of local Iranian models.

SINWAR, A PISTOL, AND A NIGHT IN NOVEMBER THAT CHANGED THE MIDDLE EAST FOREVER 🧵 A dusty room in a ruined house. A body in the rubble. IDF soldiers cautiously move toward it and carefully pluck the Glock 19 pistol in its waistband to toss it on the floor. The body is Yahya Sinwar. The IDF killed him on Wednesday. The pistol.....well.... now that's where the story really gets interesting.

SINWAR FROM 10/7 UNTIL THIS WEEK: THE FULL STORY🧵Sinwar started the war on 10/7 in a massive tunnel complex underneath a civilian neighborhood in Khan Yunis. He stayed there and ran the war until December/January, when the 98th Division began operating in Khan Yunis. Commando elements from the 98th discovered the tunnel and raided it, which caused Sinwar and other senior Hams officials, including Muhammad Deif, to flee south to Rafah. It is still unclear how they escaped south at that time, but the IDF will investigate how they managed to elude them despite Khan Yunis's encirclement. The current assessment is that the encirclement was not tight enough, something the IDF swiftly corrected in Rafah.

A MUST-WATCH virtual tour by Doron Kadosh (IDF Radio) of the neighborhood and house where Sinwar was killed. A thread 🧵 "We already know the route that Sinwar took in the last hours of his life, but today, we can see it with our own eyes: he moved in a small squad with 3 other close bodyguards, a close and very limited circle of secret partners. Here, they encountered IDF forces and split into buildings."

🚨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.
