Gallant after being fired: ‘Failure to return hostages a Mark of Cain for policy leaders’
Outgoing Defense Minister Yoav Gallant delivered his first statement to the media since Prime Minister Netanyahu announced his dismissal, says 3 issues led to his firing.
Nov 5, 2024, 10:57 PM (GMT+2) Israel National News – Outgoing Defense Minister Yoav Gallant delivered his first statement to the media since Prime Minister Netanyahu announced his dismissal Tuesday evening
“I told the Prime Minister that my order of priorities is fixed – the State of Israel, the IDF and the defense system, and only after that comes everything else, including my personal future,” he said.
Gallant claimed: “These dismissals come as a result of a dispute over three issues – my firm stance that every young man should serve in the IDF.”
“A discriminatory and corrupt law must not be allowed to pass in the Israeli Knesset,” he said in reference to the issue of haredi recruitment to the IDF.
The second issue that Gallant believes led to his dismissal is “our moral and ethical obligation to return our sons and daughters – by virtue of my role and my experience – I state that this is achievable. It is possible to return the hostages, it involves compromises, some of them painful, the State of Israel will know how to meet these compromises.”
“There will be no atonement for the [failure to secure the] release of the hostages. This will be a Mark of Cain on whoever will lead the policy,” he added.
The third reason, according to Gallant, is “the need to learn lessons and find out the truth in a state commission of inquiry. I have been responsible for the security system for the past two years, for the successes and for the failures.”
“Throughout my years in the water, underwater, in the air, and on land, I have learned that it is obligatory to navigate using a compass. In times of darkness like now, I call on the elected officials to do so. It is ethically and morally correct. I wish to salute the families of the hostages, the bereaved families, the soldiers, and the wounded. I salute you,” Gallant concluded.
[Ed.: Wadanidiot! The S.O.B. thinks it was the hostages issue got him! Wadadork! But it’s all going to come out whenever he gets prosecuted for his real treason(s) – (if not here, then upstairs). Good riddance.]
Who is Israel Katz, the new Israeli defense minister?
November 5, 2024 5:02 PM EST Reuters – Israeli Foreign Minister August 16, 2024. REUTERS – JERUSALEM, Nov 5 (Reuters) – Israel Katz waits for his British and French counterparts for a meeting, amid the conflict between Israel and Hamas, in JerusalemIsrael Katz, formerly Israel’s foreign minister, has been appointed defense minister after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sacked Yoav Gallant from the post.
Netanyahu said he no longer had trust in Gallant’s management of Israel’s military operations, which include an ongoing war in Gaza and Lebanon.
Below are some facts about Katz:
* Born in 1955 in the Israeli coastal city of Ashkelon, Katz was drafted into the military in 1973 and served as a paratrooper, leaving the service in 1977. He has not served in any senior military command position, unlike his predecessor Gallant, who had been a general before becoming defense minister in 2022.
* Katz, a member of Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud party, has been a member of the Knesset (parliament) since 1998. In the Knesset, he served on several committees including those covering foreign affairs, defence and justice.
* He has held several ministerial posts in the past two decades, including agriculture, transport, intelligence, finance and energy portfolios. He was appointed foreign minister in 2019.
* As foreign minister, Katz declared Antonio Guterres persona non grata in October over what he said was the U.N. secretary-general’s failure to “unequivocally” condemn Iran’s missile attack on Israel and for what he described as antisemitic and anti-Israel conduct.
* Also in October, he ordered his ministry to start legal proceedings against French President Emmanuel Macron after Paris banned Israeli firms from participating in an upcoming military naval trade show.
* Katz has been a low profile figure in Israeli-U.S. interactions during U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s 11 trips to Israel since Oct. 7, 2023. The top U.S. diplomat has held only a few meetings with Katz, while Blinken regularly met with Gallant.
* Katz studied as an undergraduate and graduate at Israel’s Hebrew University. He is married with two children.
Netanyahu fires Gallant as Defense Minister
PM dismisses Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, citing ‘significant gaps’ and lack of trust, appoints Israel Katz in his place.
Nov 5, 2024, 8:16 PM (GMT+2) Israel National News – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Tuesday evening.
Netanyahu explained that this is the result of a crisis of trust and significant differences between the two in the management of the war.
“As the Prime Minister of Israel, my chief obligation is to preserve the security of Israel and to achieve our total victory. In the midst of war, more than ever, complete trust is required between the Prime Minister and the Defense Minister,” Netanyahu began.
“Unfortunately, even though such trust was present during the first months of the military campaign, and we had a very productive cooperation, during the past several months this trust between myself and the Defense Minister has begun to crack,” he stated.
Netanyahu continued, “Defense Minister Gallant and I had substantial disagreements on the management of the military campaign, disagreements which were accompanied by public statements and actions that contravened the decisions of the Government and the Security Cabinet.”
“I have made multiple attempts to resolve these disagreements, but they became increasingly wider. They were also brought to the knowledge of the public in an inappropriate manner, and what is even worse, they have reached the knowledge of the enemy; our enemies have taken great delight in these disagreements and have derived much benefit from them,” he added.
He explained that “different opinions in open debates, as anyone who knows me can attest to, are my way of holding discussions and consultations, and making decisions. Everyone knows that. However, the increasingly wide crisis of confidence between myself and the Defense Minister had become public knowledge, and that crisis is hindering the continued proper administration of the military campaign.”
“I am not the only one with this opinion; in both the Government and the Security Cabinet, the majority of the members of which, virtually all members, share the feeling that this state of affairs cannot continue,” he noted.
“In view of the above, I have decided today to remove the Defense Minister from his post. In his stead, I have decided to appoint Minister Israel Katz to this position. Israel Katz has proven his abilities and has made a contribution to national security as Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Finance, Minister of Intelligence for five years, and equally important, as a long-standing member of the State Security Cabinet,” Netanyahu declared.
“Israel Katz brings to the table an impressive combination of rich experience and executive capabilities. He is known as a man of action who combines responsibility with reserved decisiveness, all important qualities for driving a military campaign,” he said.
He further stated that former Minister Gideon Sa’ar would take Minister Katz’s place as Foreign Minister. “Also, I have spoken today with Minister Gideon Sa’ar and proposed that he join the coalition along with his faction and serve as Minister of Foreign Affairs. As a member of the Government and Security Cabinet for many years, Gideon Sa’ar will bring to the table much experience and consideration in the areas of policy and security, and will be a significant addition to our leadership team.”
“Gideon Saar’s addition and the addition of his faction will increase the stability of the coalition and the government, important factors at any time, and especially important in time of war. I am convinced that these steps will reinforce the Government and the Security Cabinet, transforming them into bodies that work cooperatively and harmoniously for the security of the State of Israel, for the citizens of Israel, and for our victory,” he said.
Gallant stated in response, “The security of the State of Israel always was, and will always remain my life’s mission.”
Incoming Defense Minister Israel Katz said, “I thank Prime Minister Netanyahu for the trust he placed in me in appointing me to the position of minister of defense. I accept this responsibility with a sense of mission and a deep commitment to the security of the State of Israel and its citizens.”
“We will work together to advance the defense establishment to victory against our enemies and to achieve the goals of the war: the return of all the hostages as the most important mission, the destruction of Hamas in Gaza, the defeat of Hezbollah in Lebanon, the curbing of Iranian aggression and the safe return of the residents of the north and south to their home,” he added.
The move was welcomed by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who said, “The prime minister did well to remove him from his position.” Ben-Gvir claimed that “it is not possible to achieve absolute victory” with Gallant as Defense Minister.
On the other hand, opposition figures condemned Gallant’s firing, Democrats chairman Yair Golan called on the public to “take to the streets” in protest.
National Unity MK Orit Farkash Hacohen said, “A Defense Minister who announces conscription orders for thousands of Haredim is fired in the middle of a war on the eve of an [expected Iranian] attack for the sake of the evasion law.

IDF dismisses Otzma Yehudit MK Yitzhak Kroizer from reserve duty over picture in Lebanon
IDF dismisses MK from Otzma Yehudit after he was photographed in a home in southern Lebanon with graffiti behind him reading “MK Kroizer’s office”.
Nov 3, 2024, 5:17 AM (GMT+2) Israel National News – MK Yitzhak Kroizer (Otzma Yehudit) was removed from active reservist duty after he was photographed in a home in southern Lebanon with graffiti reading “MK Kroizer’s office” seen behind him.
The IDF removed Kroizer from combat duty to a reservist unit for elected public officials, ending his current reserve service. The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said in response, “The case was investigated and it has been decided to end the reserve service of the person in question.”
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir blasted the decision, “The IDF’s decision to remove from reserve service MK Kroizer from Otzma Yehudit, who fought valiantly since the outbreak of the war and is now in Lebanon, only because of pressure from the Haaretz newspaper, is a shame and disgrace.”
“The fact that the IDF panics following queries from the newspaper whose owner considers Hamas terrorists to be ‘freedom fighters’ is outrageous and worrying. I expect the Chief of Staff and the head of the Personnel Directorate to come to their senses, and strengthen MK Kroizer who fights against the terrorists both from the Knesset and on the lines.”
MK Kroizer himself responded to the decision and said, “Yes. I was dismissed from reserve service. And you know why? Because of an inquiry by the Haaretz newspaper (whose publisher last week called the Hamas terrorists ‘freedom fighters’) asking why a photo of me from Lebanon was published.”
“I have had the privilege of fighting for you with more than 100 days in reserve in the past year. I will continue to fight for you in the Knesset together with my friends from the Otzma Yehudit faction. Thanks to everyone for the support I receive.”
MK and former member of the War Cabinet Benny Gantz called on the IDF to reconsider the removal of MK Kroizer.
“Discipline in the IDF is important, and the photograph of MK Kroizer in Lebanon is a mistake that needs clarification and possibly disciplinary punishment. At the same time, in these days when we do not have enough soldiers, and the fighting spirit is so important, the removal of an elected official, who serves as an example and chooses to go out and fight, sends the wrong message. MK Kroizer, with whom I fundamentally disagree, deserves praise for his enlistment, and I call on the IDF to reconsider his removal,” said Gantz.

US to Deploy B-52s, Warships to Middle East as Iran Threatens ‘Crushing Response’ Against Israel
November 2, 2024 Jewish Breaking News – The United States is beefing up its deterrent forces in the Middle East as Iran continues to threaten Israel, announcing plans on Saturday to deploy B-52 bombers, fighter jets, refueling aircraft and Navy destroyers to the region.
“Should Iran, its partners, or their proxies use this moment to target American personnel or interests in the region, the United States will take every measure necessary to defend our people,” Pentagon spokesperson Air Force Major General Patrick Ryder stated.
Israel faces an escalating series of military confrontations across the region. Beyond direct missile exchanges with Iran, Israeli forces are actively engaging Tehran’s proxy networks on multiple fronts. While Hamas maintains entrenched positions throughout Gaza, Hezbollah forces continue to threaten Israel’s northern border, and Houthi militants launch regular attacks from Yemen.
Throughout the escalation, American military installations from Syria to Iraq have weathered persistent attacks from Iranian-backed militias, even as U.S. warships intercept Houthi drone attacks in the Red Sea shipping lanes.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei issued new threats against Israel on Saturday, warning of a “crushing response.”
“The enemies, whether it be the Zionist regime or the United States will certainly receive a crushing response for what they do against Iran and the Resistance Front,”Khamenei declared. “We are fully committed to preparing the Iranian nation in every necessary way to confront arrogance. Whether in terms of military readiness, weaponry, or political efforts, thank God, officials are actively engaged in these efforts.”
“This is not merely about revenge; it is a logical movement, a confrontation aligned with religion, ethics, Sharia, and international laws,” he said. “The Iranian people and the country’s officials will not show any hesitation or leniency in this regard. Be assured of this.”
However, Iran’s ability to make good on its threats against Israel may have been significantly compromised, with U.S. and Israeli officials revealing to the Wall Street Journal that Israeli strikes inflicted heavy damage on Tehran’s air defenses and missile manufacturing sites.
WATCH how Kakameini (dead man walking) puts it!

⭕ Iranian lawmaker Esmail Kowsari stated, “All members of Iranian Supreme National Security Council have agreed on a military response against Israel. The response will be executed in cooperation and coordination with the resistance forces in the region and will be more severe than the Iranian attack on Israel on October 1.”
❗️ IRGC Spokesman Muhammad Ali Naeini declared, “The Zionist entity believes that Iran will not respond to it, and thinks that Iran is afraid to go to war with them and confront them directly. This perception is evidence of the Zionist entity’s miscalculations. Iran’s response to Israel is inevitable and will be decisive and strong, and will exceed the enemy’s imagination.”
🔹 Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei warned, “Enemies, including America and Israel, will receive a crushing response to what they are doing against Iran and the resistance front.”
▪️ The Jordanian government, according to Sky News Arabic, announced, “We will not be a battlefield for any party and we will not allow warplanes, missiles or drones to pass through our airspace.

▪️PM OFFICE LEAK INVESTIGATION.. ( this is hard to fit in our brief format ) Ch. 13 claims there were (illegal) secret leaks from the PM’s office. PM’s office demanded to unseal the investigation. Appears a document was leaked to a foreign news source from a lower level office person. Opposition trying to blame the PM. PM’s office trying to say the leaked info was actually an advantage to Israel. Strange.

October 31, 2024 Yeshiva World News – Israeli intelligence has indicated that Iran may be planning a large-scale attack on Israel from Iraqi territory, potentially launching within days and before the U.S. presidential election on November 5, according to a report by Axios on Thursday, citing two unidentified Israeli sources.
The planned assault is expected to involve a substantial number of drones and ballistic missiles, reportedly deployed from pro-Iranian militias based in Iraq. According to the report, the use of Iraqi territory could be a strategic move by Iran, allowing it to maintain plausible deniability while avoiding direct repercussions from Israel on Iranian soil.
Iran’s approach would involve leveraging its allied militias to conduct the attacks, a tactic often used to obscure Tehran’s direct involvement while still advancing its regional agenda. The report suggests that this approach may aim to preemptively deter Israel from targeting Iran’s own strategic assets, a step Israel has taken previously in response to rising threats.
This development comes as tensions remain high in the region, with the potential for spillover effects influencing international dynamics ahead of the U.S. election. American officials have not yet commented on the report, though the situation is expected to prompt increased diplomatic and military vigilance in the coming days.
Analysts note that an attack of this nature, especially so close to the U.S. election, could escalate Israeli-Iranian tensions and impact broader Middle Eastern stability, making it a critical point of watch for both regional and international stakeholders.
One year later: 12,000 injured soldiers in Gaza and Lebanon
The Defense Ministry has published figures regarding the number of new cases in the rehabilitation department.
Oct 29, 2024, 1:38 PM (GMT+2) Israel National News – One year into the Swords of Iron war, the Rehabilitation Division of the Ministry of Defense reports that since the war broke out on October 7, some 12,000 wounded and injured have been admitted to the Rehabilitation Department.
Of these, 93% are men, 66% are reservists, 51% are between the ages of 18 and 30. Fourteen percent (14%) of the wounded are classified as moderately-severely injured, 377 of them with head injuries, of which 23 suffered severe injuries that required the completion of the skull with the aid of a 3D printer; 308 with eye injuries, of whom 12 lost their sight and required a prosthesis, 104 with spinal injuries, and about 60 amputees to whom an advanced and innovative prosthesis was adapted that conforms to their lifestyle.
In addition, 5,200 (43%) of the wounded developed various mental reactions (anxieties, depressions, adjustment difficulties and post-traumatic stress and more). On average, 1,000 wounded from the ongoing war are admitted each month, and in addition, some 500 new applications were admitted for recognition from past events.
Some 1,500 wounded were wounded twice during the fighting. Some 900 new wounded have been evacuated to hospitals since the ground operation began in Lebanon – a 1.5-fold increase over September.
In the past year, the department has absorbed three times as many young casualties under the age of 30, who constitute 51% of the war’s casualties, while until October 6, 2023, about 50% of the IDF casualties were middle aged compared to 8% of the young casualties under the age of 30. Rehabilitative measures are tailored to the young wounded with emphasis on assistance in returning to the educational circle, vocational training and vocational rehabilitation.
As part of the process, ten rehabilitative farms were established to help the wounded create a daily routine, and are spread throughout the country. The farms were established in cooperation with the Israel Defense Forces Wounded Veterans Organization. At the farms, body and soul workshops, discussion circles and agricultural activities are held. In the future, activities will be held for family members as well.
In order to allow the wounded to recuperate and their injuries to heal, and in order to be able to focus on recovery – the policy of “rehabilitation before bureaucracy” in conjunction with the Israel Veterans Organization is being continued. The patients who are admitted to the division receive immediate medical and psychological treatment and financial support. Physical casualty boards will be deferred for one year from the date of injury, while mental casualty boards will be deferred for two years, at the recommendation of the experts. This is to allow the mental state of the casualties to stabilize and crystallize. According to the data, the average annual cost of the basket of treatment and economic support for a war casualty is about 150,000 shekels.
According to estimates in the Rehabilitation Department, by the year 2030 there will be 100,000 IDF veterans, 50% of whom are mental health patients. In order to prepare for the number of casualties, the Rehabilitation Division has established a Customer Service Division, which, alongside improving the technological and digital response, will assist in simplifying the bureaucracy for IDF veterans. In the coming week, another media campaign will be launched to make the rights and services available to the wounded more accessible.
[Ed.: With consideration of not harming the ‘innocent civilians’ in Gaza (who unanimously voted for Hamas and participated in attacks on Israel,) and in obedience to the evil deep state of the United States, Israel fights the war by the Queensberry Rules, with one hand tied behind our backs. Instead of wiping out the enemy in the first one or two days, we send our soldiers in to go in between land mines, door to door, for an entire year without finishing the job. The modern state of IINO is happy to use our brave soldiers as cannon-fodder, because Jewish blood is cheapest in the land of IINO, the only Bolshevik Democracy in the middle east.]
October 29, 2024 @ 8:18 am ET Yeshiva World News – Further figures highlight the severe nature of injuries: 14% have moderate to critical injuries, including 23 soldiers with major head trauma, 60 amputees, and 12 who have lost their vision. Approximately two-thirds of the 12,000 soldiers are reservists.

October 7 genocide: MKs submit bill for prosecution of Hamas Nukhba terrorists By YAKI ADAMKER
This step has been previously avoided due to legal challenges and possible international ramifications.
OCTOBER 28, 2024 – A new bill submitted by the Chair of the Constitution Committee, Religious Zionist Party MK Simcha Rothman, and Yisrael Beytenu MK Yulia Malinovsky will define the October 7 massacre carried out by Hamas as genocide.
By defining the October 7 massacre carried out by Hamas and other entities against the Jewish people and the State of Israel as genocide, it will fall under specific definitions and special conditions. The bill also set special conditions for the imprisonment and prosecution of terrorists who participated in the October 7 massacre.
This step has been previously avoided due to legal challenges and possible international ramifications.
The proposal states, “The complexity of the events, their unprecedented scale, and the unique nature of the crimes committed requires a unique legal approach. The regular judicial system is not equipped to handle such a scale of severe crimes carried out simultaneously by hundreds of perpetrators.” It further states that “the unique nature of these crimes” necessitates “expertise and a distinctive legal approach.”
The bill proposed by Rothman and Malinovsky stipulates that Nukhba terrorists will be designated as “special unlawful combatants,” enabling the prolonged detention of anyone who was directly or indirectly involved in the massacre— be it through its execution, planning, conspiracy, or incitement — even if the terrorist does not currently pose an immediate threat.
Additionally, a Prosecution Committee will be established, consisting of three members: a representative of the Justice Minister, a representative of the Defense Minister, and a representative of the Foreign Minister. The three members will have the authority to order the filing of an indictment against anyone who participated in the October 7 massacre.
Further, the indictment will be submitted to a special court that will be established, comprising up to 15 judges. Eligible to serve in this court will be individuals qualified to serve as Supreme Court justices or legal experts who are not Israeli citizens or residents whom the Justice Minister, in consultation with the Foreign Minister, has determined possess the appropriate knowledge and experience for the role.
The proposed law stipulates that the special court will convene with a panel of three judges and in proceedings where multiple defendants are charged under a single indictment, with five judges. The court will also have the authority to impose the death penalty in certain clear-cut cases.
According to the proposal, the Justice Minister will establish regulations, with the approval of the Constitution Committee, regarding procedures and rules of evidence in proceedings before the special court.
A ‘swift and effective legal response’
This will consider, among other things, “the need to protect victims and their families, to facilitate the hearing of evidence in cases with multiple defendants, to minimize interim and preliminary procedures, to ensure the transparency of the proceedings and make them accessible to various audiences domestically and internationally, and to conduct the proceedings efficiently in order to achieve justice.”
Rothman and Malinovsky wrote in their proposal that it is intended “to provide an appropriate, swift, and effective legal response to the events of October 7 while upholding principles of justice and international law.”
“The proposed mechanism balances the need for quick and efficient handling with the protection of defendants’ rights, allowing the State of Israel to adequately address the unique legal challenges presented by these events.”
MK Malinovsky, one of the proposal’s initiators, recently met twice with Justice Minister Yariv Levin and intends to meet with officials from the State Attorney’s Office and the judicial system.
“This is a national, not a legal, event. It will require all of us to set everything aside and address it with clean hands. This proposal serves as an initial framework and a statement of intent, and it may change further. The aim is to complete the legislation within the current Knesset session,” she claimed.

Finance Minister Calls For Complete Sovereignty Over Gaza
October 28, 2024 Jewish Breaking News – Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has laid out a sweeping vision for Israeli control over Gaza and Judea and Samaria (West Bank), declaring the time has come for Israel to “free itself from wrong concepts” about a Palestinian state.
“We can and must apply Israeli sovereignty,” Smotrich told evangelicals at the Middle East Summit in Jerusalem on Sunday. “The establishment of new cities and settlements deep in Judea and Samaria and bringing hundreds of thousands of additional settlers to live in them is paramount.”
The Religious Zionism party leader argued that Arabs would need to accept limited local governance or leave. Under his proposal, those unwilling to forgo national aspirations would “receive assistance from us to emigrate to one of the many Arab countries where the Arabs can realize their national ambitions.”
Regarding Gaza, Smotrich stressed the necessity of maintaining both civilian and military control, warning that “where there is no civilian presence, there is no long-term military presence,” and that abandoning such presence creates “an existential threat to the State of Israel.”
While calling for firm Israeli control, Smotrich painted an optimistic picture of future regional cooperation through expanded Abraham Accords, contingent upon Western powers taking action to “overthrow the ayatollah regime in Iran and eliminate its nuclear project that threatens the State of Israel and the entire Western world.”

Iran’s Air Defense Capabilities Incurred Significant Damage, Will Take Years To Restore
October 27, 2024 @ 7:10 am Yeshiva World News – After more than three weeks of waiting, on Friday night after midnight, the Israeli Air Force launched Operation Days of Repentance, targeting strategic sites deep in Iran.
Kan News reported that Israel is maintaining silence about the damage caused in Iran to the 20 targeted sites but sources familiar with the matter have stated that significant damage was inflicted on Iran’s air defense systems and ballistic missile production capabilities. Ynet reported that IRGC command facilities incurred significant damage as well.
The Saudi Elaph site reported that Israel hit an important factory used for the production of Iranian ballistic missiles. A source knowledgeable about the details claimed that Israel targeted a solid fuel production plant used to propel the ‘Khyber’ and ‘Qassem’ missiles, known for being fired towards Israel in the Iranian assault on October 1st.
The source emphasized that this factory is considered the “backbone of Iran’s missile industry” and claimed that “Israel rendered it inoperable.”
Reports indicate that four buildings at the covert military facility located in Parchin near Tehran were damaged. The facility is regarded as relatively new and advanced, and it is believed to have been used by Iran as part of its nuclear program.
According to the same source, about 20 “planetary mixers” [a key component in fuel production for ballistic missiles] were destroyed, each valued at least two million dollars. Experts familiar with Iran’s missile industry told the Saudi site that it would take at least two years to restore the factory to operation.
Channel 12 News reported that more details are expected to emerge later, but for now, it can be concluded that Iran’s air defense capabilities have been damaged to an extent that will take years to restore.
The impact on Iran’s air defense system allows the Israeli Air Force unprecedented operational freedom over Iran will facilitate further strikes in the future.
The attack also caused significant damage to Iran’s production capabilities of ground-to-ground missiles—damage that will take the regime years to recover from.
According to Channel 12, the strike in Iran is not only an act of retaliation for the attack on October 1st but also an opportunity for Israel and momentum for further attacks.
Iran has tried to downplay the reports on the scale of the attack, but footage from Iran reveals the extensive damage caused to the bases.
According to the Kan report, the attack utilized capabilities that the Israeli Air Force built over two decades – in operational, aerial, and intelligence aspects.
Dozens of fighter jets, refuelers, and intelligence planes participated in the attack, flying about 1,500 kilometers. The Air Force has conducted many long-range strike exercises in recent weeks, including flights in various formations, with refueling carried out en route to the target. According to protocol, the planes were armed with different types of munitions, some carrying bombs and others missiles for interception to secure the planes in the air and to enable air combat. Based on past experience from the Air Force’s strikes in Yemen, many squadrons participated in the attack with a variety of aircraft, each with different capabilities according to their missions.
“This is one of Israel’s most successful operations to date,” a senior Israeli official told Ynet. “All designated targets were hit and damaged. It was a show of strength that has bolstered deterrence.”
“The logic here is not just deterrence but also securing an advantage should further rounds of blows arise,” the official continued. “Iran’s ground-to-ground missile production capabilities have been disrupted for a considerable period, a significant achievement. After this operation, Iran is left weaker, with compromised defenses and diminished production capacity. We’ve created new strategic room for action while enhancing deterrence.”

Glilot Ramming: ‘Judge worried about terrorist’s rehabilitation process’
The terrorist had been arrested previously but released due to fears that prison would be detrimental for his mental condition.
Oct 27, 2024, 1:09 PM (GMT+2) Israel National News – According to journalist Avishai Grinzaig, the terrorist who committed the mass ramming attack at Glilot Junction today had a criminal background already, but was not sent to prison.
According to the report, he was convicted in the past of stealing a truck from the company he worked for, while staging a robbery. Four years ago, he was sentenced to nine months of community service.
“The judge was impressed by his sincere remorse and desire to rehabilitate, and expressed concern that sending him to prison behind bars would set him back from the rehabilitation process,” Grinzaig reported.
In the attack, a truck rammed a bus at a crowded stop. Initial estimates indicated as many as fifty casualties, some trapped in the bus, with various degrees of injury.

The moment his friend tells him “It’s not ‘juice’ Mahmoudi, its ‘JEWS!’
October 26, 2024 @ 4:04 pm ET Jewish Breaking News
Following Israel’s operation against Iran earlier this morning, here’s an overview of the strikes and their impact. The IDF operation, “Days of Repentance,” involved around 100 aircraft, including F-35s, F-15s, and F-16s, and was carried out in several waves across multiple strategic locations. A squadron with female combat navigators played a crucial role in bombing Iranian facilities 🇮🇱💥.
Initial strikes targeted air defense systems in Syria and Iraq to reduce interception risks. Missile debris was later found near Samarra, Iraq. The primary focus was Iran’s missile production sites, including the Bardisan Camp near Qom and the Shahriar base of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. The secretive Parchin military base near Tehran was also struck, with reports of successful hits despite air defense attempts. Additional strikes targeted military installations in Tartus, Syria 🇸🇾.
Iran reported damage to an S-300 air defense battery and several Revolutionary Guard missile bases. Iranian state media confirmed four military personnel casualties. Although early morning explosions rattled Tehran 🌆, officials are downplaying the impact. Iran’s military confirmed the strikes came from Iraqi airspace, claiming they intercepted many incoming missiles, calling them “minimal warheads.” Radar systems across Tehran and other provinces were damaged, and Iran reserved the right to respond ⚠️.
Iranian media downplayed the scope of the Israeli attack, calling reports of 100 jets involved “lies” while claiming Israel didn’t cross Iranian airspace ✈️. Meanwhile, President Biden noted Israel’s precise targeting of military assets, avoiding nuclear and oil facilities at the US’s request. Israel confirmed all aircraft returned safely and warned any retaliation would result in an intensified response 🚨. – Bernie

🇮🇱 SHAVUA TOV – BREAKING: Israel Launches Retaliatory Strike on Iran Targeting Military Sites
October 26, 2024 @ 11:50 am ET Jewish Breaking News – In the early hours of Saturday morning, Israel executed a long-anticipated retaliatory strike against Iran, marking one of the most significant escalations in the region in recent years. The Israeli Air Force (IAF) conducted precise strikes on strategic military targets, including facilities involved in the manufacturing and launching of drones and ballistic missiles, as well as air defense systems. 🇮🇷 Reports of powerful explosions near Tehran began circulating around 2:15 a.m. local time, with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) swiftly confirming the operation in response to ongoing Iranian attacks.
The strikes, launched over several hours and waves, hit targets across Iran, including in Tehran, Karaj, Isfahan, and Shiraz. Iran temporarily closed its airspace as the assault unfolded, showing little ability to counter the sustained attack. The operation, titled “Days of Repentance” in reference to the recent Yom Kippur holiday, demonstrated unprecedented scale, precision, and Israel’s immediate acknowledgment of responsibility for the offensive. ✈️
The first wave of attacks targeted Iranian air defense capabilities to ensure the freedom of Israeli aircraft during the operation and prepare for any potential retaliatory moves by Iran. Subsequent waves focused on sites responsible for producing and launching drones and missiles used in Iranian attacks on Israel on April 14 and October 1. While Iran claimed that its air defenses mitigated much of the damage, Israel firmly dismissed these assertions, emphasizing the success of the operation. 💥
By 6 a.m., the Israeli military announced the completion of the assault, with “all goals achieved” and all participating aircraft safely returned. The IDF stated that dozens of IAF aircraft, including fighter jets, refueling tankers, and reconnaissance planes, participated in the complex operation, targeting sites over 1,600 kilometers (1,000 miles) from Israel. The strikes have reportedly expanded the IAF’s operational freedom in Iranian airspace, giving Israel a broader range of future targets. 🎯
The IDF stressed that the attack was a direct response to “months of continuous attacks” by the Iranian regime on Israel, specifically pointing to Tehran’s actions since October 7, when Iranian-backed forces opened up multiple fronts against Israel. “Like every other sovereign nation, the State of Israel has the right and duty to defend itself,” the IDF declared, adding that Israel is fully prepared to respond to any further escalation. ⚔️
Following the strikes, the Israeli military held an assessment on potential Iranian responses, although no immediate changes were made to civilian guidelines. IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari made it clear that Israel’s offensive and defensive capabilities are fully mobilized, warning that any further aggression from Iran would be met with severe consequences. “Iran has struck Israel twice, and now they have paid the price,” Hagari said. He emphasized that while Israel remains focused on its campaigns in Gaza and Lebanon, it will not hesitate to confront Iran if the regime continues to push for a broader regional conflict. 🛡️
A senior Israeli official praised the intelligence behind the operation, calling it “beyond imagination” and comparing the precision of the intel to something out of science fiction. Israel’s defense leadership, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, closely monitored the operation from IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv, underscoring the high level of coordination involved in the assault.
As Israel remains on high alert for any potential retaliation, the message from its military leadership is clear: those who threaten the State of Israel will face decisive and overwhelming force.

The IDF Completed Strikes on Military Targets in Iran
October 26, 2024 Israel Defense Forces – A short while ago, the IDF completed precise and targeted strikes against military targets in a number of areas in Iran. Our planes have safely returned home.
The strike was conducted in response to the attacks by the Iranian regime against the State of Israel and its citizens in recent months. The retaliatory strike has been completed and the mission was fulfilled.
Based on intelligence, IAF aircraft struck missile manufacturing facilities used to produce the missiles that Iran fired at the State of Israel over the last year. These missiles posed a direct and immediate threat to the citizens of the State of Israel. Simultaneously, the IDF struck surface-to-air missile arrays and additional Iranian aerial capabilities, that were intended to restrict Israel’s aerial freedom of operation in Iran.
Iran fired hundreds of missiles directly toward the State of Israel during two attacks in April and October, and funds and directs terrorist activity through its terror proxies throughout the Middle East, in order to attack the State of Israel and its citizens.
Alongside Iran’s efforts to attack the State of Israel, Iran acts to undermine regional stability and security, and the global economy.
The IDF has a range of offensive operational capabilities, some of which were deployed today during the strikes on strategic assets deep within Iranian territory.
The State of Israel reserves the right to defend its citizens if the Iranian regime continues attacks against the State of Israel and its civilians.
The IDF is conducting ongoing situational assessments and is ready to conduct defensive and offensive action.
There is currently no change to the Home Front Defensive Guidelines. The public is asked to continue following the guidelines.
