Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blessed Israel’s soldiers last night: “May He who protected our forefathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob bless the soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces and the security forces who stand guard over our people in the Land of our God—from Lebanon to the Egyptian desert, and from the Great Sea to where the sun sets, on land, in the air, and at sea. May the Lord cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. The Holy One, blessed be He…” 2 Likes

For the second year in a row, the US denied Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s visa application for entry into the country next week to speak at the UN General Assembly. Abbas’s office was notified of the decision Wednesday and similar rejections were issued to dozens of other PA officials who were hoping to travel with the PA president. A second PA official shared notice received in which the reason for rejection marked was “Section 212(a)(3)(B) which prohibits issuance of visa to a person who at any time engaged in terror activities or associated with a terror org. This is a permanent ineligibility.” It wasn’t immediately clear if Abbas’s own rejection was issued on the same grounds. Against the backdrop of the ban, Palestinian Mission to the UN submitted resolution to be brought before UNGA Thursday to allow Abbas to address the body virtually as he did last year.

Joint IDF and ISA announcement: The IDF and ISA eliminated the commander of Hamas’ Rafah Brigade and operations array Earlier today (Tuesday), the IDF and ISA struck in the southern Gaza Strip and eliminated the terrorist Nael Abu Obeid, commander of Hamas’ Rafah Brigade and head of Hamas’ military wing operations array. Abu Obeid was appointed to his position following the elimination of Mohammad Sabaneh, after previously holding numerous positions in the brigade, including deputy commander of the Rafah Brigade and commander of the Tel al-Sultan and Yibna Battalions. Abu Obeid was a key figure among senior Hamas leadership. As part of his role, Abu Obeid was responsible for managing the activities of the brigade’s terrorists and directing them to advance and carry out terror attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians. In addition, he worked to restore the brigade’s force buildup, which suffered severe damage throughout the war.

Attached is footage of the dismantling of the underground infrastructure in the Ali al-Taher Ridge area. The IDF used over 1,100 tons of explosives to demolish a 5.4 km underground terror complex beneath the strategic Ali al-Taher ridge. Built over two decades with Iranian funding, the network stored dozens of UAVs, rockets, anti-tank missiles, and hundreds of explosive devices. Benjamin Netanyahu: "Tonight we destroyed the largest Iranian outpost outside of Iran, the Ali Taher tunnels in Lebanon. Completing the mission. Happy New Year!"

Joint Statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister of Defense Israel Katz: Following the instructions of the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense, the Israel Defense Forces have now destroyed the underground infrastructure of the Hezbollah terrorist organization in the Ali al-Taher mountain range, thereby completing the establishment of a security zone in southern Lebanon. This is a strategic terrorist infrastructure that was built over two decades, funded and planned by Iran. The terrorist infrastructure and command center in the mountain range were intended to serve as a base for the conquest of the Galilee and to provide observation and fire control over Metulla and Kiryat Shmona. Its destruction completes the achievement of operational control over the Ali al-Taher mountain range, both above and below ground. 1 Like |

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: President Trump announced last night that Iran is trying to rearm itself with nuclear weapons. This is true. After we destroyed its immediate ability to produce nuclear bombs, both in "Operation Rising Lion" and in "Operation Roaring Lion”, they are trying again. I pledge to you here, at the Western Wall, before Rosh Hashanah: As long as I am Prime Minister, Iran will not have nuclear weapons. At the same time, we are striking at the Iranian axis, not only in the Gaza Strip, which is very difficult, but also in Lebanon. We have destroyed the Beaufort ridge, and now we are dealing with the Ali al-Taher ridge. More to come. 1 Like |

The Hamas terror group announces the death of a top member in an Israeli strike in Gaza City today. Farah Hamed is described by Hamas as a "commander and fighter" in the terror group's military wing, and a member of the "Military Council of the al-Qassam Brigades in the West Bank." Hamed was a member of the "Silwad cell," which operated during the Second Intifada and carried out a series of deadly shooting attacks in the West Bank. Originally from the Ramallah area, Hamed was deported to Gaza in 2011 as part of the Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange deal. In May 2024, the head of the cell, who was also released in the Shalit deal, was killed in Rafah. Hamed was targeted in a strike in Gaza City's Sheikh Ijlin neighborhood earlier today, according to Palestinian media. The IDF has not yet issued a statement on the strike.

The IDF Chief of Staff said today: “We are in a tense and volatile period across all fronts, and we are preparing for the upcoming holiday season. We continue to learn lessons, and as I have stated, the fundamental state of the entire Israel Defense Forces is readiness for a surprise attack.” These words were not chosen by accident. The Jerusalem Post reported that, according to Israeli intelligence assessments, Iran is working to coordinate its forces and proxies for a simultaneous multi-front assault on Israel. Tehran reportedly wants to avoid the lack of coordination that prevented Yahya Sinwar’s October 7 attack from developing into the regional war he had anticipated. My assessment is that Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and the Iranian-backed militias in Iraq may be seeking an opportunity to deliver one coordinated and synchronized blow against Israel. They understand that time is working against them. Hezbollah has been severely weakened and is losing strategic assets. Hamas has been devastated. Iran is under growing military and economic pressure, while the entire axis is steadily losing capabilities. They may therefore conclude that they must use whatever strength they have left before it is too late. This does not necessarily mean that a final decision to attack has already been made. However, the working assumption must be that the enemy may attempt to create one massive, multi-front shock - missiles and drones from Iran, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq, combined with attacks from Gaza, Judea and Samaria, and possibly inside Israel and abroad. They failed to fully synchronize the attack on October 7. They may now try again - using whatever power remains before Israel destroys it.

Reports indicate panic among Hamas leaders in Gaza following the abduction of the head of their internal security apparatus last week. Most, if not all, have gone underground! The IRGC continues to avoid attacking Israel, even after the IDF took control of the Ali al-Taher Ridge and its massive underground IRGC-Hezbollah command-and-control center in southern Lebanon. Turkey is unhappy with the Israel-Greece defense agreement, as it protects Greek airspace against potential Turkish aggression. “And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel.” 2 Chronicles 20:29 |

For 40 years Iran built a ring of fire around Israel. The jewel in the crown was Hezbollah. Hezbollah’s own jewel was the complex it dug into the Ali Taher range—the closest base of that caliber to the “little Satan.” Two days ago, it fell to the IDF. Twenty years in the making, with Iranian help and enormous expense, the base contained command-and-control rooms, weapons and supply depots and field clinics, all buried 30 to 50 meters into solid rock. Just ten kilometers from the Israeli border, with a clear view of the Litani and the Israeli Hula Valley, it was the place from which Hezbollah intended to coordinate its own October 7 in the Galilee. Israeli forces first reached the ridge on the thirty-first of May. By the twelfth of June, the division had taken Kfar Tibnit and the main body of the ridge. Then the ceasefire, a week later, leaving 40 Hezbollah fighters trapped beneath Israel’s feet. An assault would have inflicted casualties Israel was unwilling to absorb and broken a ceasefire it was unwilling to break. So they began a siege. They shot down every attempt at relief, infiltrators and supply drones alike, and escalated steadily from there—pushing their own drones into the shafts, running loudspeakers into the ground around the clock. After a summer of siege, the men below broke—some retreating, others unable—leaving the IDF in full control of the ridge. In mid-August, Iran warned Washington that a full Israeli assault on Ali Taher would draw a large-scale response. More than a dozen IRGC personnel were on the ridge, three officials told Reuters, including at least two senior officers. Set aside the obvious question of what a foreign army’s officers were doing on sovereign soil—after all, it isn’t sovereign, it’s Lebanon. The fortress has now fallen, and the question of a response falls to Iran. The trouble is that the Iran that made the threat is not the same Iran that has to keep it. In the intervening month, the United States blinded Tehran in the strait, restored much of the commercial shipping it had disrupted, and drew the economic noose tighter. A month of siege has sapped much of the bravado from the Islamic Republic. They have three options: a large response, a small one, or silence. A large response inevitably resumes the war. The prospect has its attractions for a regime on the edge: wartime discipline is the easiest form of crowd control, and if Iran is even weaker than we believe, a heroic death in resistance is well within Jihadist sensibilities. A small response risks arriving at the same place by accident—Israel is eager to answer disproportionately to any provocation and weaken the regime further. They may still risk it. But Tehran has had chances to significantly escalate in recent weeks and declined every one, settling instead for the uneasy equilibrium of neither war nor peace. It is a tightrope, and the regime may well make it to the other side. But while desperately trying to balance it won’t be able to stop Israel plucking the jewels from its crown, one fortress at a time. (Amit Segal on X)
