Europe pressures Israel while preparing for war As European governments rearm against a growing Russian threat, some are still focused on boycotting Israeli goods from Judea and Samaria. Yet Israel is becoming a crucial source of the missile defense, counter-drone systems and battlefield-tested technology Europe may soon need to protect its own cities. The balance of power is changing, and Europe would be wise to notice.

The United Arab Emirates has identified the terrorist co-pilot of flydubai flight FZ1073 as Hamam al-Hammami. UAE officials said al-Hammami, an Omani national, used the plane’s emergency crash ax to attack Capt. Smit Machchhar, with the intent of killing him and then perpetrating a terrorist attack by crashing the aircraft. Al-Hammami had reportedly been denied employment with other regional airlines due to his radical jihadist views. It remains unclear why he was cleared to fly by flydubai, particularly on a flight to Israel.

IDF: The IDF reveals: 170 of those killed during the war, who were presented to the world as innocent journalists, were also military operatives in terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip Following extensive research, the IDF now reveals that 170 Gazans who were presented as innocent journalists and media personnel were in fact military operatives in the military wings of various terrorist organizations, primarily Hamas and the Islamic Jihad. The IDF is now making public the 170 individuals and publishing verified evidence, including visual materials and documents produced by the terrorist organizations themselves and recovered by IDF troops during operations in Gaza exposing their terrorist affiliations and roles within terrorist organizations. Time and time again throughout the war, various media outlets in the international community accused the State of Israel and the IDF, without verified data or findings, of deliberately targeting journalists, even when, in some cases, the terrorist organizations themselves claimed those individuals as their own and identified them as military operatives. The information currently presented illustrates the gap between the picture portrayed to the world and the reality on the ground, and further demonstrates additional conclusive evidence that the IDF does not deliberately and systematically target journalists, but rather operates against terrorist organizations and their military operatives, in accordance with international law. For the purpose of exposing these cases, the IDF has established a dedicated website compiling the names and photographs of 170 military operatives, as well as their roles, terrorist affiliations, and additional evidence that can be disclosed regarding them. Attached are the following: A graphic on the subject: https://IDFANC.activetrail.biz/100106 A link to the website and the full list: https://www.idf.il/en/mini-sites/the-press-files/

The first ten cases are now being revealed: individuals who were presented as innocent journalists killed in IDF strikes, but who were in fact were military operatives. Some even infiltrated Israel during the October 7th Massacre. This is only the beginning. In the next few hours, the IDF will reveal a large number of additional cases in which individuals who were presented as innocent journalists operated as military operatives. Their names will be published alongside intelligence information, documents, photographs, and additional evidence exposing their terrorist affiliations and the roles they held within the military wings of terrorist organizations. For this purpose, a dedicated website has been established. It will be regularly updated and will compile the names, roles, terrorist affiliations, and evidence that can be disclosed regarding these individuals. Further details to follow. Attached are the following: A graphic featuring the first ten individuals revealed: https://idfanc.activetrail.biz/ANC10012026 A link to the updated website compiling details on the first ten individuals revealed: https://www.idf.il/en/mini-sites/the-press-files/

IDF: Presented as a journalist and infiltrated Israeli territory on October 7th: The IDF eliminated the Hamas terrorist Muhammad Nagar in the southern Gaza Strip Yesterday (Wednesday), the IDF struck in the southern Gaza Strip and eliminated Muhammad Abd al-Aziz Muhammad Nagar, a terrorist in the military wing of the Hamas terrorist organization. Muhammad Nagar infiltrated Israeli territory during the October 7th Massacre. Following his elimination, Muhammad Nagar was presented as a journalist, while omitting his membership in the military wing of the Hamas terrorist organization. Recently, the terrorist advanced attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians and operated to restore the terrorist organization’s capabilities, in systematic violation of the ceasefire. Prior to the strike, steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians, including the use of precise munitions and aerial surveillance. IDF troops under the Southern Command are deployed in the area in accordance with the agreement and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat.

Trump: “The UK did release a number of people that we caught wanting to blow up a base — we caught them early — and I'm trying to figure out if that's for real that they actually did. Maybe they did it for a reason, but we're going to know about that this afternoon, so we'll report on it." |

Reactions to the incident in Saudi Arabia — Mamdani: Condemns the illegal entry of Israelis into Saudi Arabia, which is part of the vision of Greater Israel. European Union: We call on all sides in the cockpit to cease the mutual violence. United Kingdom: We will impose sanctions on extremist Israelis who stormed the cockpit and handcuffed a Muslim. Al Jazeera: Twenty-seven children and six pilots were killed in an Israeli attack. New York Times: Plane nearly crashed over Saudi Arabia after confrontation between Israelis and Muslims. |
FOR THE MIRACLES: The pilot who opened the cockpit door moments before collapsing Yaniv, Assaf, and Tzvika, who happened to be at the front of the plane The British pilots who happened to be on the flight Yaniv, who had watched “Air Crash Investigation” and pushed the controls forward Without every single one of them, tonight we’d be searching for wreckage in the deserts of Saudi Arabia—and even that only if the prince allowed it.

Flydubai flights will be suspended starting tomorrow morning for six days. In their place, Israeli airlines will operate repatriation flights with enhanced security. Minister Regev’s decision was approved during a conversation between Netanyahu and the ruler of the UAE, who instructed that landing slots in the country be allocated to the Israeli airlines. |
Retired Navy pilot Matthew “Whiz” Buckley revealed today that the hijacked flydubai flight exceeded its maximum operating speed by a staggering 100 knots while plunging 20,000 feet in just 30 seconds. But just how extreme is that? An additional 100 knots is approximately 185 km/h (115 mph). According to Buckley’s account, the Boeing 737 MAX 8 was flying that much faster than its maximum operating speed. The Danger: Commercial jets are built tough, but they have operating limits. Exceeding those limits can increase the risk of structural damage and flutter - dangerous aerodynamic vibrations that can potentially cause catastrophic failure. THE MIRACLE: If these reported figures are accurate, surviving such a rapid descent and recovering safely is extraordinary. The fact that the passengers and crew reportedly managed to subdue the attacker, allowing the pilots to recover from the dive, is an absolute miracle

After overpowering the terrorist pilot, Israeli passengers aboard the Flydubai flight assigned one or two men to guard each flight attendant, suspecting they were accomplices in the attack. |
Flydubai Airlines confirms: All flights to and from Israel are suspended until the investigation is complete. |
