On September 2024, Netanyahu made two decisions that decided the course of the war with Hezbollah within 10 days:
- The Pagers Operation (September 17, 2024)
- Nasrallah’s Assasination (September 27, 2024)


In both cases, Netanyahu clearly stood up to Defense Minister Galant and Chief of Staff Halevi, who opposed him.


Let's start:
- Netanyahu made the decision to move troops from Gaza to the northern theater on September 12, 2024.
- Three days later, on September 15th at 1 am, Mossad chief Dedi Barnea informed him that there was a problem and that there were risks and threats regarding the discovery of the pager operation.
- Netanyahu immediately demanded an urgent discussion, which took place the next day, on September 16th. It was a long discussion, lasting many hours.


- Everyone in the room except Barnea opposed the pager operation. The opponents were led by Defense Minister Galant and Chief of Staff Halevi. Netanyahu tried for hours to understand why, and the arguments varied; from the belief that the war should not have started in this manner, to concerns that the operation would drag Iran into a regional conflict.

Despite the objections, Netanyahu made the decision to proceed. He understood that this would be an operation not only followed by the physical consequences but also by the psychological impact of penetration, demoralization, and its effect on Nasrallah (who saw firsthand how people were exploding).


- This was not another bomb from an airplane that kills 20 people in a single strike; this was a different event, with another layer of impact.
- Incidentally, two days later, a broken Nasrallah spoke in his last speech about Israel's technological superiority, eight days before his assassination.

In parentheses, I will add that in the operation to eliminate Nasrallah, the situation was even more extreme. Gallant and Halevi claimed that "American approval" was needed...


- This, even though they knew full well that the Americans would not approve the assassination operation for fear that the Iranians would react...

Now, what is amazing?
- What I am telling you here was shared by a female Mossad agent on the CBS program "60 Minutes". However, you did not see her because the American network simply did not include her in the broadcast. One of the two Mossad members who did appear on screen also told this story: how the operation was carried out and how decisions were made, but these details were not included in the program either.


Try to ask yourself why.
- And give yourself the simple answer that the media in the US often mirrors the ideological perspective of the Israeli media, operating from a political agenda and choosing what to show or hide based on political considerations.

But why go that far?
- I'll tell you even more: There are numerous Israeli journalists who know these details (I say this from personal knowledge).
- How? Because they were briefed and told the details, not by the political echelon.
- But you haven't heard about it from them because they don't report on it. At first, they claimed they weren't publishing the details because Israel did not take responsibility for the operation and there was censorship on the details.


However, since then, Israel has taken responsibility, and there is no censorship. But there is still no truth being reported.

Syria is not quiet tonight!
Alawites protest.
Christians protest.
Ambushes by Assad loyalists in the coastal area.
Curfew imposed in several cities.

Nice graphic showing GDP per capita in the Middle East.

In first place by a wide margin, of course, is Qatar.

In second place is ISRAEL! Above the other gulf states(and with almost no natural resources).

Of course, there is purchasing power and other relevant parameters, and it is still very impressive.

In last place is the home of the Houthis…

The collapse of the Iranian rial against the dollar continues. What does this mean for the Iranian citizen?

Today, the collapse of the Iranian currency, the rial, against the dollar continued: Currently, on Iran's black market, the dollar is trading at around 795,000 rials, poised to break the 800,000 barrier in the coming days if current trends hold. An unprecedented low. Since November 5, when Donald Trump was elected US president, the rial has lost more than 15% of its value.

This decline has a huge impact on the daily lives of Iranian citizens. Since Iranians are paid in rials, their purchasing power is eroding, which reduces demand and causes a decline in production and hence economic activity. In terms of dollars, the average monthly salary in the Iranian market is about 40,000,000 rials, or $50 at today's exchange rate.

This is not an amount that an average household can live on.

The Indonesian hospital is no more! Following intelligence information, the IDF and Shin Bet destroyed the hospital that had become Hamas' infrastructure in Jabaliya.

The Givati ​​Brigade's combat team forces under the command of Division 162, last night ELIMINATED five terrorists and arrested several other terrorists in and around the hospital, including a terrorist who invaded the country in the murderous massacre on October 7, 2023.

It doesn't matter where! A private home, a mosque or a hospital. There is no longer immunity to terrorism in the Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian Authority prohibits the pro-Hamas and pro-terror channel "Al Jazeera" from entering their civil war areas in the towns of northern Judea and Samaria. As long as it harms Israel, they let them in. As soon as it harms them - they throw them away.

The channel is banned in almost all Arab countries in any case.

Turkey acts the same as the Ottoman Empire, but it is already in an official recession (two negative quarters), the lira devaluation is rapid and its over 35 liras to the US dollar (within a year it lost 20.5%, and within five years - 500%), the interest rate is 50% (!), and inflation is 47%.

I guess the sultan needs a war to revive his economy!
