Binyamin region farmer: ‘The State views me and my fellow shepherds as an enemy’

Police delivered a restraining order to Tal Yinon Dardik, a father of three who manages a farm near the town of Kochav Hashachar.

Sep 30, 2024, 3:01 PM (GMT+3)  Israel National News – On Sunday evening, detectives delivered an administrative order signed by the commander of the Central Command, Avi Bluth, to Tal Yinon Dardik, a farmer and father of three from Kol Dodi, a community near the town of Kochav Hashachar in the Binyamin region.

In addition to banning Tal from all of Judea and Samaria, including his home, for a period of six months, the order requires him to report to a police station once a week and forbids him to contact dozens of his friends.

In the past decade, Dardik has worked with other activists to establish a string of outposts in eastern Binyamin that form a Jewish territorial continuum on both sides of the Alon Highway.

“This decree, just before Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year), is a double punch in the gut for me,” said Tal. “First and foremost because he is simply throwing me and my family out into the street and cutting off our livelihood, but no less because the State of Israel in the midst of war is marking us, the shepherds who risk their lives daily in the field to guard the homeland’s lands, as enemies.”

According to him, “It seems that unlike Gaza and Lebanon where the State of Israel has internalized the fact that we are dealing with an enemy that must be rooted out to the very last, in Judea and Samaria the security establishment is still in a state of total loss and is directing the bulk of its forces against the settlements – while the Palestinian Authority is being afforded a total whitewash both in its terror activities and in its land-grabbing.”

“Despite all, those who think that they will succeed in breaking us through such orders will be disappointed. We have already gone through worse things and only came out stronger and more resolute. With God’s help this order too will be for the good and we will win this battle with God’s help,” added Derdik.

In the meantime, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant signed administrative detention orders for four months against two additional farmers, including a father of a girl from Samaria. With his signature, Gallant broke another record in the number of administrative detention orders he issued during his tenure, which now stands at no less than 28, as opposed to 25 in all governments since the state’s inception.  [Emphasis added]

[Ed.:  In IINO, the rulers of the country think that there is something despicable about shepherds – especially Jewish ones. That’s why its Israel In Name Only (IINO), which is anything but “a homeland of the Jews”…]

 

Col. Richard Kemp: Israel’s rapid attrition against Hezbollah in 2 weeks unprecedented   Gary Willig

Former commander of British forces in Afghanistan discusses the killing of Hassan Nasrallah with Arutz Sheva, says no Western nation has achieved anything ‘remotely close’ to what Israel has accomplished against Hezbollah in the last 2 weeks.

Sep 29, 2024, 7:25 AM (GMT+3)  INN – Colonel Richard Kemp, the former commander of the British military forces in Afghanistan, spoke to Israel National News – Arutz Sheva about the assassination of longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Friday.

“Israel’s rapid attrition against Hezbollah in the last two weeks is unprecedented in any military campaign that I know of. Certainly, no other Western country has achieved anything even remotely close in any modern war,” Col. Kemp said.

“The damage done to Hezbollah’s leadership by precision airstrikes as well as the pager attacks must be added to repeated strikes by the IDF since Hezbollah began its unprovoked war of aggression nearly a year ago. Key leaders have been progressively eliminated throughout that time as well as destruction of significant quantities of Hezbollah’s weapons capability. Hezbollah still retains a large number of missiles and drones, as well as fighters to operate them and attempt to attack Israel on the ground. But any military or terrorist organization does depend heavily on a command structure and the elimination of so much of that will have seriously undermined the capability to launch large-scale coordinated attacks,” he said.

Col. Kemp noted that “Nasrallah has probably already been replaced. But he has headed Hezbollah for over three decades and it will take his successor a long time to become anything like as effective — assuming even that he survived for very long himself. Lower-level leaders can also be replaced but the collective knowledge and experience that has been lost so rapidly represents an immense blow to Hezbollah. This is especially true when we consider that terrorist groups in the Middle East operate on the basis of personal networks and personal connections with their sponsors — in this case Iran. There is also a psychological element for those who might be thinking of stepping up. They were stunned by the pagers episode and are reeling daily from what is befalling their bosses. How many will want to step up to the plate against the fear that they will be next.”

When asked how close Hezbollah is to being permanently eliminated as a threat, Col. Kemp responded, “Israel has much more work to do before Hezbollah is effectively neutralized, and it is in the process of doing it. If they are able to maintain the current intensity of operations there is every prospect they will succeed. We shouldn’t forget also that Hezbollah is deeply unpopular among large sections of the population of Lebanon, including Christians and Sunni Muslims many of whom have been celebrating Nasrallah’s demise. It may be that some of them will take advantage of Hezbollah’s weakened state and take their own action against the group in parallel with what Israel is doing.”

Addressing Iran’s reaction to the damage Hezbollah has taken in the last two weeks, Col. Kemp stated, “Iran will also be shocked by what is happening to their number one terrorist proxy. The ayatollahs certainly could not have foreseen this situation or anything like it. Out of fear, Iran failed to react to the killing of [former Hamas leader Ismail] Haniyeh in Tehran. They also know their April 14th missile attack on Israel failed miserably and their proxy in Gaza is on its last legs. Taken together this may paralyse the regime. It remains to be seen how they will react to all this. One thing they will know is that they are now the subject of ridicule across the Middle East and they will find this intolerable. Not only that but they can ill afford to allow such weakness to prevail amidst so much opposition and dissent inside the country. They must now be beginning to fear for the future of the entire regime, especially if Israel turns greater attention to them.”

He advised against agreeing to a ceasefire now that Hezbollah is reeling, “It is now time for Israel to ‘take the win’. When an enemy is on the back foot that is the time to press forward with even greater intensity. The timid and pusillanimous critics in the US and France, who have forgotten the meaning or the need for victory should be politely disregarded by Israel as it decides on its plan of action.”

When asked if a ground operation is even necessary in Lebanon given the successes of the IAF’s aerial operation against Hezbollah, Col. Kemp responded, “Only the IDF and Israel’s political leaders can judge whether or not a ground offensive will be needed. That depends on two things: how much more damage can be achieved from the air and how Hezbollah reacts. I would counsel against attempting to rely on what has been achieved so far as deterrence against Hezbollah. That can only be short lived. There can be no substitute for large-scale destruction to deny the terrorists the means to continue their attacks, whatever they might wish to do.”

“Decimation of Hezbollah — as well as for Hamas — is important not just for the immediate protection of Israeli citizens but also to demonstrate Israel’s strength across the Middle East both as a warning to those who would turn on Israel and also as a means of securing greater confidence among those who see Israel as protector against the common enemy: Iran,” Col. Kemp concluded.

US Airstrikes On Syria Kill 37 ISIS & Al-Qaeda Affiliated Terrorists
September 29, 2024 @ 10:00 am   Yeshiva World News – (AP)  In Syria, 37 militants affiliated to the extremist Islamic State group and an al-Qaeda-linked group were killed in two strikes, the United States military said Sunday.

Two of the dead were senior terrorists, it said.

U.S. Central Command said it struck northwestern Syria on Tuesday, targeting a senior terrorist from the al-Qaeda-linked Hurras al-Deen group and eight others. They say he was responsible for overseeing military operations.

They also announced a strike from earlier this month on Sept. 16, where they conducted a “large-scale airstrike” on an IS training camp in a remote undisclosed location in central Syria. That attack killed 28 terrorists, including “at least four Syrian leaders.”

“The airstrike will disrupt ISIS’ capability to conduct operations against U.S. interests, as well as our allies and partners,” the statement read.

There are some 900 U.S. forces in Syria, along with an undisclosed number of contractors, mostly trying to prevent any comeback by the extremist IS group, which swept through Iraq and Syria in 2014, taking control of large swaths of territory.

U.S. forces advise and assist their key allies in northeastern Syria, the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, located not far from strategic areas where Iran-backed militant groups are present, including a key border crossing with Iraq.

❗️AIR TRAVEL.. the EU Aviation Safety Agency really did issue an airspace warning for Israel warning airlines away from Sept. 28 until Oct. 31.  “Considering the current conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, there is a high risk to civil aviation. The conflict involves rockets, missiles and drones launches from Lebanon with Israeli airstrikes and artillery fire, including systematic activation of air-defence systems… Although, until now the Civil Aviation Authority of the State of Israel has been efficiently managing the risks to civil aviation in its airspace through a tactical deconfliction, it is considered that the current intensity of the conflict represents an overall high risk to civil aviation.”

80 TONS OF BOMBS, ISRAEL TRACKED HIM FOR MONTHS: This Is How The IDF Killed Nasrallah  [Videos]

September 28, 2024  2:59 pm ET  The Yeshiva World – The IDF struck the Hezbollah headquarters in southern Beirut with over 80 tons of bunker-buster bombs on Friday.

The bombs were dropped for a period of several minutes.

The New York Times reported that Israeli security officials have been aware of Nasrallah’s hideout location for months and decided to eliminate him this past week because they believe he would soon move to a different location.

According to the report, Hezbollah members found Nasrallah’s body early Saturday along with that of Hezbollah No. 3 Ali Karaki, whom Israel tried to eliminate last week but failed.

The Israeli Air Force squadron that eliminated Nasrallah:

 

Report: Bibi’s Speech at UN Part of Deception Strategy to Kill Nasrallah

September 28, 2024  JBN – A new report suggests that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to the United Nations was part of a diversion to lull Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah into a false sense of security.

“It was intended to make Hezbollah’s leader believe that Israel would not take dramatic actions while Netanyahu was physically in the United States,” an Israeli security official tells the Telegraph.

Netanyahu address to the UN General Assembly of Friday focused mainly on the continuing violence in Lebanon and the threat posed by Iran.

His speech came just days after US President Joe Biden addressed the General Assembly, emphasizing the United States’ support for Israel in the face of recent escalations. He called for an end to the war, demanding that Hamas disarm and release all hostages.

The prime minister began by condemning the attacks on October 7th, when terrorists infiltrated Israel, committing what he described as “unimaginable atrocities.” He vowed, “We will not rest until the remaining hostages are safely returned.” Accompanied by family members of the hostages, Netanyahu pledged, “We will bring your loved ones home. We will not stop until this mission is accomplished.”

He emphasized the pivotal choices facing the Middle East, presenting two potential futures: one of normalization with Arab nations, and the other of ongoing conflict fueled by Iran and its allies. “Israel seeks peace, Israel makes peace, and Israel will make peace again,” he declared, underscoring Israel’s commitment to stability in the region.

Turning his attention to Iran, Netanyahu criticized the global community for its leniency towards Tehran, stating, “Iran funds terror networks across five continents. The world has appeased Iran for too long. This appeasement must end now.” He called on the UN Security Council to halt support for Iran and ensure that it never acquires nuclear weapons, warning, “If you strike us, we will strike you. We will reach every corner of the Middle East.”

Biden highlighted the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, accusing Hamas of exploiting aid meant for civilians. “Terrorists steal food that we allow into Gaza and inflate prices to maintain control,” he said, urging the international community to recognize the necessity of dismantling Hamas.

Addressing the broader regional conflict, Biden condemned Hezbollah’s actions following the initial attack, which led to the displacement of thousands of Israelis. “Hezbollah has fired rockets and missiles from private homes, schools, and hospitals. Israel has every right to defend itself, and that is exactly what they are doing,” he asserted.

Both leaders emphasized the potential for historic reconciliation between Israel and Saudi Arabia, with Netanyahu describing it as a “true pivot of history” that could transform the Middle East. “Achieving peace with Saudi Arabia would foil Iran’s plans and create unprecedented partnerships,” he stated. Biden echoed this sentiment, highlighting the opportunity for a broader coalition of peace-seeking nations.

Netanyahu concluded his speech with a call for international solidarity against terrorism and a condemnation of those who vilify Israel’s efforts. “No army has done more to protect civilians than Israel,” he said, defending the nation’s actions in Gaza.

Reflecting on his 40-year diplomatic career, Netanyahu recalled his first address to the UN in 1984, where he opposed a proposal to expel Israel. “Today, I stand against the same proposals—not from Hamas, but from Mahmoud Abbas, who is supposed to be a partner for peace,” he said, urging the global community to reject fanaticism and support democracy.

He ended with a resolute declaration: “The torch of Israel will shine forever. Am Yisrael Chai.”

[Ed.:  At least they died with their balls still attached.  Problem is, they ran out of virgins down there a long time ago…]

 

The entire leadership of Hezbollah from the top down has been eliminated.

He stated that Israel has shifted the regional balance of power and emphasized the continued threat posed by Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, calling him a central figure in terrorism. Netanyahu suggested that the more Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar realizes Hezbollah will not intervene, the better the chances of recovering Israeli hostages. He acknowledged upcoming challenges but expressed confidence that Israel would face them united and ultimately prevail.

🎯 Netanyahu stated that Hezbollah’s leader, Nasrallah, was a key terrorist, and as long as he lived, Hezbollah could quickly recover. Netanyahu confirmed that “Nasrallah is no longer with us” and said this sends a message to Hezbollah’s leadership.

⚠️ As Israel continues to dismantle Iran’s regional proxy network, former intel chief Yadlin suggests Israel should also target the Syrian regime due to its role as a key arms smuggling route for Iran.

Reported that about 1 million people in Lebanon have been displaced due to the conflict. IDF strikes on Hezbollah’s leaders and strategic assets have caused 600,000 to flee southern Lebanon and another 400,000 from Beirut’s Dahiya district.

They Got Him: Israel Confirms It Killed Hezbollah Leader Hassan Nasrallah in Underground HQ   Andrew Tobin

September 28, 2024  The Washington Free Beacon – TEL AVIV, Israel—The Israel Defense Forces killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an airstrike on the Iran-backed terrorist group’s Beirut headquarters, the IDF said on Saturday.

“Last night, in a precise strike on Hezbollah’s terrorist headquarters in the neighborhood in Beirut, the IDF eliminated the leader of the Hezbollah terrorist organization, Hassan Nasrallah,” IDF international spokesman Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani told reporters in a briefing. “I can now confirm this to you.”

“Hassan Nasrallah will no longer be able to terrorize the world,” the IDF said on X.

The Israeli airstrike on Friday also eliminated Ali Karaki, Hezbollah’s Southern Front commander, and other leaders of the group, according to the IDF.

“The strike was conducted while Hezbollah’s senior chain of command, what’s left of it, were operating from the headquarters and advancing terrorist activities against the citizens of the State of Israel,” Shoshani said.

Hezbollah confirmed the death of Nasrallah on Saturday.  [Emphasis added]

Shoshani said the Hezbollah headquarters were located underground, beneath a residential building in Dahiyeh, a southern suburb of Beirut, in keeping with the group’s strategy “to hide behind civilians.” He said the IDF always takes precautions to avoid civilian deaths, but he was not prepared to speak to the specifics of Friday’s airstrike, including the types of munitions that were used or the extent of the collateral damage.

During Nasrallah’s 32 years at the helm of Hezbollah, the group carried out numerous terror attacks in the Jewish state and around the world, killing Israelis, Americans, and others. Nasrallah also led Hezbollah into the Syrian civil war, backing the country’s president, Bashar al Assad, in massacring hundreds of thousands of civilians. Israel, the United States, and the European Union have designated Hezbollah a terrorist organization.

“Nasrallah is one of the world’s strongest, or was one of the world’s strongest and most influential terrorists and one of the terrorists with the most capabilities in the world, and he was a real threat with the blood of thousands of people on his hands,” Shoshani said, noting the Hezbollah leader had vowed to destroy Israel.

The IDF early on Saturday launched a fresh wave of airstrikes on Dahiyeh and other parts of Lebanon, continuing an offensive that has taken out much of Hezbollah’s leadership and weapons arsenal since Israel turned its attention northward from the war in Gaza last week.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu apparently approved Friday’s airstrike, which shook the Lebanese capital and sent up thick plumes of smoke over the city, shortly before his address to the U.N. General Assembly.

“As long as Hezbollah chooses the path of war, Israel has no choice, and Israel has every right to remove this threat and return our citizens to their homes safely. And that’s exactly what we’re doing,” Netanyahu told the plenum as IDF fighter jets streaked toward Beirut.

Some 60,000 residents of Israel’s Lebanon border region have been evacuated from their homes since Oct. 8, when Hezbollah began bombarding the north on a near-daily basis in solidarity with Hamas, the Iran-backed Palestinian terror group that carried out a massacre in southern Israel a day earlier and sparked the Gaza war. According to Israel, Hezbollah had ongoing plans to conduct an Oct. 7-style attack of its own.

The Biden administration, which failed to impose a ceasefire on Israel and Hezbollah on Thursday, distanced itself from the strike against Nasrallah.

“The United States was not involved in this operation, and we had no advanced warning,” a Pentagon spokeswoman said on Friday.

Also on Friday, the IDF said it had deployed two reserve brigades to northern Israel amid preparations for a possible ground incursion into Lebanon.

IDF chief of staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said following the confirmation of Nasrallah’s death: “The message is simple, to anyone who threatens the citizens of the State of Israel, we will know how to get to them.”

IDF: Hamas has been militarily defeated   Uzi Baruch

IDF claims that Hamas has been militarily defeated and has lost its ability to function as a military organization. Hamas has become a guerrilla and terrorist organization.

Sep 27, 2024, 5:40 PM (GMT+3)  INN – Almost one year after October 7th, the IDF has determined that the evil terrorist organization Hamas has been militarily defeated.

However, there is a long way until Hamas is fully disbanded. This process in the south is Israel’s most important goal, but according to the IDF, bringing the hostages home is more urgent and takes priority. According to an IDF source: “If we wait, we are not sure that there will be anyone to bring home.”

For the first time, the IDF has confirmed that it has plans to maneuver deep into Lebanon as well. Last Monday, in less than 24 hours the IDF attacked 1,920 ammunitions sites, in a joint operation by the Air Force, the intelligence, the Northern Command,.

The IDF notes the many achievements secured in the last ten days, including the elimination of senior command and control personnel, the elimination of the Radwan force’s commanders and the commanders of the forces that attacked into Israeli territory.

Despite this, the IDF stated that the security conditions for returning residents go through a violation of command and control and the destruction of capabilities near the border. When the campaign ends and the residents return to their homes, the IDF we will have to enforce the fire agreement against violations in the border area.

🔴  IDF AIRSTRIKES TARGETS HEZBOLLAH IN LEBANON, PREPARES FOR GROUND OFFENSIVE

September 27, 2024 @ 11:03 am ET  Israel Realtime

💥 The IDF has announced a new wave of airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon.

🔹 Ahead of a potential ground offensive, the IDF expresses strong confidence in its ability to execute operations in Lebanon, having gained experience from 11 months of fighting in Gaza.

🔹 The IDF is actively practicing for a ground maneuver, targeting areas near the border and deeper into Lebanon. This includes rehearsing plans for the offensive while fighting continues on multiple fronts.

💥 Three times during the conflict, the IDF was ready to escalate operations against Hezbollah. As part of Operation Northern Arrows, launched on Monday, nearly 2,000 munitions were dropped on Hezbollah within 24 hours. These strikes are significantly degrading Hezbollah’s 20-year build-up of capabilities, preventing attacks on the Israeli home front.

🎯 In the past ten days, the IDF has made notable achievements in Lebanon, including the elimination of key Hezbollah commanders, the destruction of the Radwan Force leadership, and targeting thousands of Hezbollah arms storage sites. The military stresses that more work remains to ensure security.

🔹 To allow displaced Israelis to return home, the IDF aims to dismantle Hezbollah’s command structure, destroy its border capabilities, and eliminate the threat of invasion. After the conflict, the IDF will use firepower to enforce any ceasefire and prevent Hezbollah’s resurgence near Israeli borders.

🔹 In Gaza, the IDF assesses that Hamas has been defeated militarily and has become a guerrilla terror group that will take time to dismantle.

Hamas is no longer the group it was before October 7, with half its operatives killed and its command, control, and weapon systems heavily degraded.

🎗️ While dismantling Hamas remains a critical war objective, rescuing hostages takes priority. “If we wait, it is not certain that there will be anyone to return,” warns the military.

Israel dismisses reports U.S.-French Lebanon ceasefire plan about to be implemented

‘The situation between Lebanon and Israel since October 8th, 2023, is intolerable and presents an unacceptable risk of a broader regional escalation’

September 26, 2024 at 07:02 AM  i24NEWS – The U.S., France and other allies jointly called on Thursday for an immediate 21-day ceasefire to allow for negotiations in the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah that has killed more than 600 people in Lebanon in recent days. A report by Sky News claimed the ceasefire was to go into effect “within hours,” citing a senior U.S. official speaking on the condition of anonymity. It was later dismissed by Israeli officials, saying Israel was yet to respond formally to the proposal.

[Ed.:  Short article, huh!  The comments are good.]

 

Prime Minister’s Office denies reports of impending ceasefire

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office denies reports of ceasefire, says IDF was instructed to strike ‘with full force and according to the plans presented.’

Sep 26, 2024, 11:53 AM (GMT+3)  Israel National News – The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday morning responded to reports of an impending ceasefire deal between Israel and the Hezbollah terror group.

“The reports of a ceasefire are not true,” the Prime Minister’s Office said. “This is a French-American initiative that the Prime Minister has not even responded to.”

“The reports of an instruction to moderate the fighting in the north is also the opposite of the truth. The Prime Minister instructed the IDF to continue the fighting with full force, and according to the plans presented to him.

“As well, the fighting in Gaza will continue until all of the goals of the war are achieved.”

According to Sky News, senior US officials said that a temporary ceasefire deal with Hezbollah is expected in the next few hours. The officials claimed that diplomatic moves behind the scenes have brought the parties closer to an agreement.

“The ceasefire will be for 21 days, along the blue line (the border between Israel and Lebanon),” the officials said. “During this time, the parties will hold negotiations towards a possible solution to the conflict that has been going on since Hezbollah launched an attack on October 8, with the intention of reaching an overall agreement along the blue line that will allow residents to return to their homes in both Lebanon and Israel.”

The officials clarified that this is an agreement only for the northern region, and is not related to the Gaza Strip, but according to them, this may facilitate progress on the Gaza issue.

Sky News also reported that in the event of signing an agreement, Hezbollah itself would not be a signatory to the agreement, but the US officials said that the Lebanese government would coordinate the signing with Hezbollah.

⚠️ The IDF confirmed that a drone launched from Lebanon earlier caused minor damage and a fire near Atlit, a coastal town south of Haifa. The Hezbollah terror group claimed responsibility for launching several explosive-laden drones targeting the Israeli Navy’s Atlit base, which houses the Shayetet 13 commando unit. Of the three drones launched, two were intercepted by air defenses, with no reported injuries.

⚠️ Separately, a UAV launched from Iraq targeted IDF bases in the central Arava region. The air defense system failed to intercept the UAV, which struck an empty building. No casualties were reported.

⚠️ According to the Wall Street Journal, Hezbollah has been expanding its tunnel network in southern Lebanon to prepare for a potential Israeli invasion. Operatives and weapons have been redeployed, with additional arms supplied by Iran, in anticipation of countering IDF forces.

Iranian President Pezeshkian has warned against allowing Lebanon to become another Gaza at the hands of Israel, stating that Hezbollah cannot stand alone against a nation supported by the U.S. and the West.

In response to escalating tensions, the British Defence Ministry is accelerating the evacuation of British nationals from Lebanon, fearing the outbreak of a full-scale war.

The complete Hezbollah battle plan to conquer Israel   Barry Shaw

Revealed for the first time, this was the Hezbollah battle plan for the invasion of the Zionist State (Israel).

Sep 24, 2024, 9:01 AM – These are the stages of the Hezbollah battle plan for the invasion of the Zionist State (Israel).

THE “CONQUEST OF THE GALILEE” PLAN

One of the main lessons Hezbollah learned from the Lebanon War was the need to change the goals of the next war against Israel.

Hezbollah sought to develop offensive capabilities that would enable it to conduct a war within Israeli territory.

Imad Mughniyeh, the architect of the plan, determined that in the next war, Hezbollah would invade, capture territories and take hostages in the Galilee (North Israel).

Hezbollah targeted areas where it had topographical superiority compared to Israel’s topographical disadvantage near the border.

THE PLAN’S HIGHLIGHTS:

• Training Hezbollah’s special forces to take control of isolated Israeli towns along the northern border.

In Hezbollah’s terminology, this was referred to as the “Conquest of the Galilee.”

• Digging tunnels penetrating Israeli territory near Israeli settlements. These tunnels were intended for the passage of hundreds of fighters, not for the abduction of soldiers or civilians.

Mughniyeh’s model was the North Korean infiltration tunnels, which Iranian instructors had studied closely.

• Hezbollah’s operational plan also involved building a massive missile-launching capability targeting population centers and strategic sites from the Haifa area in the north, through Tel Aviv in the center, down to Dimona in the south.

Hezbollah’s concept was that this situation would attract all of Israel’s military attention, allowing Hezbollah’s special forces to execute the “Conquest of the Galilee” plan.

THE OPERATIONAL PLAN:

The source reported that Hezbollah’s operational plan, developed in coordination with senior Iranian strategic experts, is based on deploying a force of 5,000 fighters, recently trained in Iran specifically for this purpose. In another report, it was stated that Hezbollah forces recently completed intensive training in Iran and were deployed in southern Lebanon and the Beqaa.

It was also reported that in the Maydon area in western Beqaa, Hezbollah engineering units finished excavation work and position improvements, and Iranian Army engineering units mined areas in eastern Beqaa, marked as potential landing zones for Israeli special forces, whose goal would be to strike Hezbollah’s missile and artillery arrays.

• The 1st brigade will take control of the city of Nahariya, or parts of it, after crossing the border in the Rosh HaNikra area. According to Hezbollah’s information, the defenses in this area are minimal, the distance is short (7 km), and there are no special military or topographical features that would delay the brigade from achieving its objective.

At the same time, a force of 150 fighters from the first brigade will reach Nahariya by sea using speedboats that Hezbollah already possesses. The mission assigned to this force is to take as many hostages as possible to prevent Israel from bombing Hezbollah forces in this sector.

• The 2nd brigade will take control of the town of Shlomi, which has a population of 6,500 and is located about 300 meters from the border. The goal is to sever the IDF’s supply lines and force it to send reinforcements from the east to areas in North Israel, where a large number of military forces are located.

• The 3rd brigade was instructed to reach the city of Karmiel and take control of areas south of it in order to block movement from Acre on the Mediterranean coast to Safed.

• The 4th brigade will take control of the the towns: Malkia, Ramot Naftali, and Yiftach to prevent the IDF from producing fire from these areas toward southern Lebanon.

•The 5th brigade will serve as a strategic reserve force assigned to special missions.

The Hezbollah-affiliated source reported that Hezbollah’s fighting force will consist of 5 brigades, each composed of 1,000 fighters. Each brigade has been assigned a defined combat zone in Israel to take control of. Therefore, each brigade is familiar with the structure and topographical conditions of its zone and has trained for its conquest.

This is the major attack planned against Israel that the IDF is currently destroying in Lebanon.

All this, armed and trained by Iran.

Furthermore, Hezbollah has thousands more forces trained and prepared to attack Israel which are stationed in Syria and in Iraq.

Tomatoes Now Luxury Items in Israeli Markets

September 24, 2024  JBN News – From salads to shakshuka, tomatoes are a staple of Israeli cuisine with an average consumption of 14,000 tons per month. However, a recent shortage has turned this kitchen essential into a rare commodity.

On average, regular tomatoes are now selling for up to 15 shekels ($4.00) per kilogram in stores. Premium cluster tomatoes have reached even more staggering heights, commanding between 25 and 45 shekels per kilo. The crisis has contributed to a 10% increase in the Consumer Price Index which is significantly impacting the cost of living for average Israelis.

Two main factors have contributed to Israel’s tomato catastrophe.

Last summer, a merciless heatwave decimated local harvests, leaving farmers with wilted crops and slim pickings. Just as the domestic shortage bit hard, Turkish President Recep Erdoğan’s complete import/export ban in support of Hamas has left Israeli supermarkets scrambling.

To make matters worse, Jordan is refusing to export tomatoes to Israel even after the Israeli Health Ministry lifted a recent ban on produce imports. The ban was initially imposed last month due to concerns about cholera bacteria found in runoff from the Yarmouk River. Despite Israel’s reinstatement of imports under certain conditions, Jordanian officials remain uncooperative.

A source in Israel’s Agriculture Ministry suggests that Jordan might be using this incident as an excuse to punish Israel over its ongoing war with Hamas and Hezbollah.

“The Jordanians were offended by the unilateral announcement and are awaiting an apology from the Health Ministry,” the source tells JNS. “With a global shortage of tomatoes and rising demand, Jordanian growers have no issue finding alternative markets.”

Now, with both home-grown and imported options drying up, Israel’s Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security has ordered an additional import quota for 5,000 tons of tariff-free tomatoes. Effective until December, it follows a similar 5,000-ton quota approved in mid-August by the Health Ministry, with 2,500 tons already entering Israel from Poland.

IDF Names Offensive Against Hezbollah “Northern Arrows” After It Carries Out 1,300+ Airstrikes   [VIDEOS]

September 23, 2024 4:30 pm  Yeshiva World News – The IDF has officially named its military offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon “Northern Arrows,” according to IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi.

The announcement comes after a major escalation in hostilities over the past 24 hours, with the IDF launching extensive airstrikes targeting Hezbollah positions across Lebanon. According to military reports, more than 1,300 sites linked to the Iran-backed terror group have been hit in the ongoing operation.

One of the airstrikes targeted senior Hezbollah commander Ali Karaki in Beirut. If his death is confirmed, it would leave Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah increasingly isolated, as Israel has systematically eliminated much of the group’s leadership over the past 11 months. However, in a statement released Monday night, Hezbollah dismissed rumors of his death, insisting that Karaki was “fine and, God willing, in full health and wellness and has moved to a safe place.”

The IDF has yet to provide further details on the strike, which marks the fourth such operation in Beirut since Hezbollah-led forces began launching near-daily attacks on Israeli communities and military posts along the northern border, in solidarity with Hamas during the ongoing war in Gaza.

The IDF on Monday night released images that purportedly show Hezbollah storing munitions inside civilian homes in southern Lebanon. One of the images depicts a long-range missile housed in the attic of a residential home in the village of Houmine al-Tahta. The missile, mounted on a hydraulic system, is reportedly ready to launch from an opening in the roof, with a Lebanese family living on the first floor directly beneath the weapon.

“This is an immediate and real threat to Israeli civilians, and we have an obligation to remove it,” IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said during a press conference.

 

Traffic Jam: Lebanese citizens no longer have any room to flee northwards.

[Ed.:  No where to run…  They would have been better off walking, but they’re safe for now, anyway!  Israel wouldn’t hit them, anyway!.  Night:

 

⚠️ HEZBOLLAH’S ESCALATING THREATS TO ISRAEL AND THE IDF’S STRATEGIC RESPONSE TO PROTECT CIVILIANS ⚠️

September 23, 2024 @ 5:38 pm ET  ISRAEL REALTIME

Since October 8th, Hezbollah has launched over 9,000 rockets, missiles, and UAVs targeting Israeli families, homes, and communities. In the past week alone, more than 700 rockets and UAVs have struck deep inside Israel, forcing hundreds of thousands of citizens into bomb shelters. For years, Hezbollah has been planning to replicate in northern Israel what Hamas did in the south on October 7th—an invasion, infiltration of civilian communities, and the massacre of innocent civilians. To accomplish this, they devised a strategy called “Conquer the Galilee.”

On Friday, the IDF launched a precise strike in Beirut, targeting Ibrahim Aqil, the architect of this plan, along with other senior commanders of Hezbollah’s Radwan Force. These commanders were planning a similar attack in northern Israel.

In order to prevent Hezbollah from carrying out such an attack, and to ensure the safe return of 60,000 Israelis displaced from northern Israel, the IDF has acted aggressively against the threat posed by Hezbollah, which is just a few hundred meters from Israeli communities. Based on accurate intelligence, the IDF has conducted extensive strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. So far, 1,300 targets have been hit, including long-range missiles, rockets with 1,000 kg warheads, and UAVs—all capable of reaching deep inside Israeli territory and causing significant damage.

Despite efforts to minimize civilian casualties by providing warnings to residents in Lebanon where Hezbollah has embedded its military assets, Hezbollah has prevented civilians from evacuating, using them as human shields. Hezbollah strategically stores long-range rockets in civilian homes, such as in the village of Houmin Al Tachta in Southern Lebanon, where rockets are hidden in attics under homes where families reside.

Secondary explosions have been observed following IDF strikes, indicating that Hezbollah’s weapon storage in civilian areas has caused significant damage. One example is a house used by Hezbollah to store weapons that exploded after an IDF strike, triggering a nearby rocket launch. Hezbollah bears responsibility for this dangerous situation, as they have turned southern Lebanon into a battlefield, storing weapons in civilian homes and using them to attack Israeli communities.

The international community must condemn Hezbollah’s blatant violation of international law, which endangers civilians on both sides of the border. The IDF continues to make every effort to avoid harming civilians while targeting Hezbollah militants and their weapons.

Israel faces threats on all fronts. The IDF must continue its operations to dismantle Hamas’s capabilities in Gaza, ensure the release of hostages held by Hamas, and secure the safety of all Israeli citizens in the north and south.

IDF: “Let me be clear: Hezbollah is responsible for this situation. This is Hezbollah’s plan – to turn southern Lebanon into a battlefield for its attacks on Israel. We cannot accept a terrorist group storing weapons inside people’s homes, and using them to fire at other civilian communities.”

Sirens in Galilee & near Tiberias: Over 300 Hezbollah targets struck in Lebanon   Chana Roberts

IAF conducts two waves of strikes on Monday morning, targeting Hezbollah weapons and infrastructure in southern Lebanon; terror group returns fire, launching missile barrages towards Galilee. One injured.

Sep 23, 2024, 12:36 PM  INN – The IDF on Monday carried out two waves of strikes in southern Lebanon, hours after striking over 150 terror targets. According to the IDF, since Monday morning, Israel has hit over 300 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.

Prior to the start of the attacks, IDF Arabic spokesman Avichay Adraee warned Lebanese civilians: “The strikes will begin soon. Immediately evacuate the homes in which weapons are hidden. Hezbollah is lying to you and sacrificing you. The organization is saying that you are its members and that you are important to it, but it seems that their missiles and UAVs are more important to it.”

Reuters reported that Israel took control of a number of Lebanese radio stations, through which it is sending warnings to Lebanese civilians.

According to reports, Lebanon’s Culture and Public Diplomacy ministers have been instructed to leave their offices, and the country’s Health Ministry has demanded that hospitals reschedule non-urgent operations in order to allow treatment for those wounded in the strikes.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry has reported 100 dead and over 400 injured in the Israeli strikes.

Early on Monday afternoon, multiple barrages of missiles were launched from Lebanon towards Israeli territory, activating sirens in wide swaths of northern Israel.

Several interceptions were reported over Tzfat (Safed). Reports in Kahal said that a missile had fallen in the area, though it could potentially have been falling shrapnel from an interceptor. A direct strike was reported on a home in Givat Avni; no one was injured.

“Following the sirens that sounded at 12:24 in the areas of Ami’ad and Safed, approximately 25 projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory,” the IDF reported. “The IDF Aerial Defense Array successfully intercepted a number of projectiles. Numerous falls were identified in open areas and adjacent to the area of Ami’ad.”

“Following the sirens that sounded at 12:43 in the Lower Galilee area, approximately 10 projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory. Numerous falls were identified.

“Following the sirens that sounded at 12:19 in the area of Elkosh, the details are under review.”

Several blazes ignited near Ami’ad, and were extinguished by firefighting teams.

Magen David Adom (MDA) reported: “Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedics are providing initial medical treatment to a 50-year-old man who suffered light injuries following the missile barrage on northern Israel. The teams are evacuating the victim to a local hospital, fully conscious and with shrapnel injuries to his limbs.”

Later reports raised the number of injured to five, among them three who had suffered shock.

MDA EMT Fadi Ottman said: “We were called to a driver who had stopped on the side of the road during the sirens and who was injured by shrapnel in his lower limbs. He was fully conscious. We provided him with medical treatment and evacuated him via ambulance to the hospital, with very light injuries.”

Israel will obliterate Lebanon – Hezbollah stronghold will be a death zone with NOTHING left  [VIDEO  10:38]

September 21, 2024 – ISRAEL will turn southern Lebanon into a “death zone” with nothing left standing, an ex-spy has warned.

Tel Aviv appears to be preparing to invade its northern neighbour as it shifts its focus north from Gaza with a new “phase” and war goal.

Tensions have skyrocketed after Israel blitzed the country with exploding pagers and walkie-talkies that left at least 37 dead and 3,600 wounded.

The Wall Street Journal reported US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has told senior Pentagon officials he feared Israel could soon invade.

A Lebanon invasion to fight Hezbollah has wide support in Israel, with one poll finding it had 71 per cent of the country’s backing.

Former Mossad spy Avner Avraham said his country should create a 10km “death zone” inside Lebanon by invading it and forcibly displacing locals.

⚠️ ISRAEL AND HEZBOLLAH ON THE BRINK OF ALL-OUT WAR AMID ESCALATING TENSIONS ⚠️

September 21, 2024 @ 4:35 pm ET   ISRAEL REALTIME

⚠️ Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant is currently holding assessments with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi and other top defense officials to evaluate the rising tension. Reports from Israeli media suggest that the Israeli army is on high alert, anticipating a potential Hezbollah attack. Channel 12 news reports that Israel is preparing for a possible large-scale missile barrage from Hezbollah in the north.

⚠️ Israeli Army Radio has confirmed that preparations are underway for an immediate escalation, citing unnamed sources. The political leadership in Israel has decided to continue its significant strikes on Hezbollah, despite knowing this could escalate into a full-scale war.

⚠️ According to Yedioth Ahronoth, a security source warns that Hezbollah may launch an attack within the next 24 hours, leading to an intense period of tension. Meanwhile, France has issued a message to Lebanon, stating that any potential conflict will not just be a third Lebanon war but could be the final one.
