🟩SNAPBACK AGAINST IRAN, IDF TO GAZANS, HAREDI HESDER? And HAREDI PUBLIC PRESSURE
August 27, 2025 Israel Realtime
( VIDEO – help a Gazan video – – – oops, the ‘wound filter’ malfunctions. )
▪️US ENVOY TO LEBANON DRIVEN AWAY – after waiting about two hours for situation assessment, it was decided to cancel the visit of US envoy to Lebanon Barrack to the city of Al-Hiyam and Sur in south Gaza (Shia / Hezbollah area) due to protests. Protesters raised flags of Hezbollah and pictures of martyrs and had crates of tomatoes ready to throw.
▪️SNAPBACK – European countries will activate the snapback mechanism for sanctions on Iran tomorrow. The snapback itself means that Iran violated the nuclear agreement and all the sanctions that were on it before President Obama apply to all countries. Iran has threatened various extreme responses if this happens.
▪️EGYPT TRAINING PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY TO TAKE OVER GAZA? Wall Street Journal: Egypt has begun training Palestinians to be part of a force of up to 10,000 soldiers who will ‘provide security’ for the Gaza Strip, and in fact will control it in the day after the war. According to the report, most of the recruits will come from the Palestinian Authority security services in the West Bank.
▪️HAMAS ECONOMIC COLLAPSE – this report via a political expert is labeled “not sure how reliable”: The Hamas regime is on the verge of economic collapse. all residents are aware of the reasons: the remaining senior figures in the movement are embezzling the organization’s funds for personal gain. This includes funds generated from a huge network of abused foreign aid sources. These leadership figures threaten the life of anyone who dares to speak out, and if these threats are ineffective, they take steps to harm them.
▪️IDF TO GAZANS – IDF Arabic spokesperson in a statement to residents of northern Gaza Strip – ‘Evacuation of Gaza City is inevitable’.
▪️HAREDI HESDER YESHIVOT? The “Hesder yeshiva” program is a combined ‘learn Torah, fight in the army – together’ where a yeshiva class learns, then trains in the army and fights, and back to learning, back to fighting, extending the 3 year normal draft for 2 more years, but keeping a Torah learning and yeshiva-class-together in the army environment.
8 Haredi yeshivas requested from the Ministry of Defense to join the IDF Hesder program track; about a 30% increase in the number of young Haredim who joined existing Haredi Hesder yeshivas this year.
▪️PUBLIC PRESSURE ON HAREDI LEADERS – After articles throughout the media, three leading rabbis, members of the councils of the Haredi parties, changed their public positions about whether students not actively learning in yeshiva should avoid army service – changing to they are not exempted “anyone who does not study (a full schedule of Torarh in yeshiva) certainly needs to enlist.”
🇸🇾SYRIAN DRUZE NOTE – Wiam Wahhab (leader of the Druze in Lebanon) ”We turned to the Arab countries and Turkey to help prevent the massacre of Druze in Sweida, but no one responded” (except for Israel).
.. Reports Israeli warplanes and helicopters are currently operating in the skies over Daraa, Syria, about 15 km south of Syrian capital Damascus. [Emphasis added]

Pita on Pesach: When Jewish Identity Dies, Jewish Blood Is Spilled BY MORDECHAI SONES
‘Why are so many of us driven to this fantasy? Why do we insist on seeing a blank slate where a committed enemy stands?’
AUGUST 27, 2025
In the first part of this series, we established a foundational principle for survival: A is A. Drawing on sources that Aristotle learned from the Jewish prophets to the Creator’s own self-declaration of “Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh,” we argued that to deny the observable, empirical identity of our enemies is a fatal lapse in logic and a violation of halachic prudence. To see the patterns of hostility documented and then judge our enemies “favorably” is to declare that A is not A—a self-destructive fantasy.

The Autoimmune Disorder of a Soulless People
Ruth’s Choice: The Rejection That Forges Identity
But this raises a more disturbing question. Why are so many of us driven to this fantasy? Why do we insist on seeing a blank slate where a committed enemy stands? The inability to see the identity of the other does not spring from a vacuum. It grows from a void within the self. A Jew who is himself bereft of identity cannot possibly comprehend an Arab who is acting fully in concert with his. This internal hollowness is not a private, spiritual ailment; it is a national security crisis. As one chilling, under-told story from an Israeli prison cell demonstrates, our enemies see our emptiness with perfect clarity—and they draw from it the inspiration for our destruction.
An Intifada Born from a Shrug
The name Salah Ta’Omri is not widely known in the Jewish world, but it should be. John le Carré, in his foreword to The Little Drummer Girl, described this “Palestinian” military commander as a man who “deserves a book to himself.” In the 1980s, Ta’Omri was a senior Fatah official held in an Israeli prison, and by his own account, his revolutionary fire was beginning to dim. He had grown weary of the struggle, questioning its purpose and contemplating a retreat from the conflict. Then came Pesach.
As Rabbi Amnon Yitzchak has often recounted, Ta’Omri was observing the prison routine during the week of Passover when he saw an Israeli guard casually eating a pita—the most basic form of chametz, the leavened bread forbidden to Jews during this festival. The sight was so incongruous that Ta’Omri, a student of his enemy, felt compelled to question him. His understanding was that Jews do not eat bread on Pesach.
The guard’s response changed the course of history. He simply shrugged. “So what?” he said. “That doesn’t obligate me.”
In that moment of dismissive apathy, Ta’Omri’s despair was forged into a renewed and terrible resolve. He saw not an individual’s lapse in observance, but the collective soul of his enemy laid bare. Here was a people so profoundly disconnected from their own history, their own covenant, their own identity, that their most sacred prohibitions had become meaningless suggestions. If the Jews themselves did not feel bound by the traditions that defined their claim to the Land of Israel, then that claim was baseless. A people so unmoored from their past, he concluded, could easily be uprooted from their present. Re-energized by this revelation of Jewish weakness, Salah Ta’Omri would go on to become a key figure in orchestrating the campaign of terror and bloodshed known as the Second Intifada.
Let the weight of that settle. The suicide bombings, the exploding buses, the murdered children in their beds—an entire wave of slaughter was inspired not by our strength, but by our spiritual decay, symbolized by a single Jew’s nonchalant consumption of a pita on Pesach. Our enemy did not need to find a flaw in our tank armor or a gap in our border fence. He found the breach within our soul.
The Autoimmune Disorder of a Soulless People
The prison guard’s shrug is the defining gesture of the modern, secular Israeli. It is the physical expression of a deep-seated spiritual disease, a Zionist autoimmune disorder where the nation systematically attacks the very antibodies of its own survival. When a Jew’s identity becomes a hobby rather than an obligation, he loses the ability to recognize obligation in others. He projects his own amorphous, fluid sense of self onto his enemy, assuming the Arab, too, is a creature of convenience, willing to negotiate away his core identity for comfort or cash.
He is dangerously wrong. While we were cultivating our detachment, our enemies were cultivating their convictions. They see our internal confusion and call it weakness. They see our universalist pleas for tolerance and call it cowardice. Our desperate need for approval from a hostile world, our self-abasement on global stages like Eurovision, our willingness to trade our soul for the applause of nations that despise us—these are not signs of enlightenment. They are symptoms of a terminal identity crisis, and our enemies are watching.
This disorder manifests as a grotesque inversion of compassion. We extend endless understanding to those who celebrate our murder, meticulously vetting every military action to meet the moral standards of our enemies, while directing our harshest judgment toward our own. We scrutinize the Haredim and the settlers with a venom we never apply to the surrounding culture of death. This is the “Jewish compassion deficit syndrome” in its most acute form: a nation that loves its enemies and hates its brothers. We have embraced the Enlightenment’s error of a universal, abstract morality, and in doing so, have forgotten the Torah’s specific command to be a holy nation, separate and distinct. The result is a state that handcuffs its own soldiers, prioritizing the lives of its enemies over the lives of its sons.
Ruth’s Choice: The Rejection That Forges Identity
What, then, does it mean to have a Jewish identity? For the answer, we must turn not to modern philosophers, but to the ancient fields of Bethlehem. In Midrash Ruth Rabbah, as Ruth the Moabitess pledges to join the Jewish people, her mother-in-law, Naomi, presents her with the stark reality of conversion. It is not a simple declaration of faith, but a fundamental re-ordering of one’s life. Naomi tells her, “My daughter, it is not the custom of Jewish women to go to the theaters and circuses of the gentiles.”
This is not a minor lifestyle tip. It is the very essence of identity formation. To become a Jew, Naomi teaches, is to make a conscious and painful break. It requires foregoing the “entertainments” of the surrounding culture—the public spectacles, the empty amusements, the cultural norms that stand in opposition to a life of holiness. Identity is not forged by what you embrace, but by what you are willing to reject. Ruth, a princess of Moab, becomes the foremother of King David precisely because she abandons the culture of her past to cleave to the G-d of Israel.
Her example stands as a searing indictment of our own time. We have become terrified of rejection. We immerse ourselves in the very gentile “theaters and circuses” Naomi warned against, only now they are piped directly into our homes through an open sewer of streaming services and social media. We marinate our minds in the cheap obscenity and hyperbole of a soulless society, a culture of excess that inevitably breeds violence. We then wonder why we feel so empty, so disconnected, so unable to articulate who we are.
The prison guard did not decide to eat chametz on Pesach in a vacuum. His decision was the logical endpoint of a thousand smaller choices to consume a culture that is antithetical to Torah. He was the product of a society that has forgotten Naomi’s lesson: you cannot serve two masters. You cannot drink from the poisoned well of gentile culture and expect to maintain a healthy Jewish soul.
A Call to Cultural War
The time for self-deception is over. The war against the Jewish people is not only being fought with rockets from Gaza and tunnels from Lebanon; it is being fought in our living rooms, on our screens, and in our hearts. The enemy is not just the attacker who seeks to kill our bodies, but the culture that seeks to annihilate our soul.
To survive, we must follow the example of Ruth. We must declare war on the empty and poisonous attachments to the entertainments of the gentile world. This is a call to radical action. Unsubscribe from Netflix, which peddles filth and anti-Torah values as enlightenment. Stop reading mainstream news if you are not an expert in identifying psychological warfare and propaganda. Stop voting for parties and politicians who champion a vision of Israel that is divorced from the Creator and His Torah.
Most importantly, we must stop being afraid. Stop fearing what the world will say. Stop fearing being called intolerant or primitive. As one writer has powerfully stated, we must “stop letting G-d keep catching you being afraid of anything but Him.”
This is not a call for asceticism, but for vitality. It is a call to fill the void within ourselves with the substance of Torah, so that we may once again see the world with clarity.
A Jew whose identity is absolute, whose commitment is unwavering, will not make the mistake of seeing his enemy as a reflection of his own confusion. He will see him for what he is. He will know that A is A.
Salah Ta’Omri’s spark must become our own. Let the enemy’s recognition of our weakness awaken us to the urgent need for strength. The choice is the same one that faced Ruth in the fields of Moab: to cling to the familiar poisons of the world she knew, or to embrace the demanding, life-giving truth of Torah.
Our survival depends on making the right choice.
The Simple Difference Between Israelis and Palestinians JOSHUA HOFFMAN
Power restrained versus hate unrestrained — that is the simple difference.
AUG 27, 2025
Palestinian-American author Susan Abulhawa recently said that “Israelis should not feel safe anywhere in the world” and called to “wipe that vile colony from this earth.”
The irony of such a statement is staggering.
Because the truth is simple: If Israel ever sought to “wipe” Palestinians off the map, the capabilities are already in our arsenal. We have the technology, the firepower, and the global reach to erase entire cities in hours. But we don’t. Not because we can’t. Because we won’t. And that is the moral difference.
Israel is one of the most technologically advanced nations on earth. We have one of the world’s most sophisticated air forces, precision missile systems, and world-class cyber capabilities. Our intelligence apparatus is unparalleled in the region. At any moment, Israel could flatten Gaza, dismantle Hezbollah in Lebanon, or silence Iranian proxies across the region.
Yet we don’t.
We fight wars with restraint — often to our own detriment — because the moral fabric of our society demands it. Hospitals in Gaza aren’t rubble because the IDF spends millions on precision-guided munitions and warning systems to limit civilian casualties. It is why humanitarian aid still flows into Gaza, even while Hamas uses those same corridors to smuggle in weapons.
This moral calculus isn’t new.
In 1948, when five Arab armies declared war to destroy the fledgling Jewish state, Israel could have expelled every Arab within its borders. Many nations throughout history would have done exactly that, especially in the aftermath of a genocide against their people.
But Israel didn’t.
Hundreds of thousands of Arabs remained and became citizens. Today, they sit in the Knesset, serve on the Supreme Court, and head hospital departments.
The same restraint showed in 1967. After the Six-Day War, Israel controlled vast swaths of territory. Many voices demanded annexation and total expulsion. Instead, Israel offered “land for peace” — offers the Arab leadership rejected. That pattern has repeated itself through history: after Camp David in 2000, after Israel’s peace proposal in 2008, and even after the Trump peace plan in 2020. The answer from Palestinian leaders has always been the same: no peace, no compromise, only continued violence.
Every modern war tells the same story. In 2014, when Hamas used schools and hospitals as rocket launch sites, Israel issued evacuation warnings and dropped leaflets before striking. In 2023, after Hamas committed atrocities on October 7th — the largest mass slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust — Israel could have unleashed wholesale destruction on Gaza.
Instead, we targeted infrastructure, avoided civilian zones when possible, and paused operations repeatedly to allow humanitarian aid — knowing full well Hamas would exploit those pauses. Even in the middle of a war, the IDF used phone calls, text alerts, and “roof knock” warnings to minimize civilian casualties, something no other military in the world attempts during combat operations.
If you don’t know what “roof knocking” is, it’s a tactic the Israeli military invented to warn Palestinian civilians before a strike. Instead of dropping a lethal bomb first, the IDF fires a small, non-lethal munition on the roof of a building to signal that a strike is imminent. It’s essentially a last warning: Evacuate now, because this location is being targeted. No other military in the world takes such extraordinary steps to minimize civilian casualties, even when those civilians are being used as human shields by terrorists.
And yet, despite this restraint, much of the world blames Israel for the destruction in Gaza. Images of rubble and suffering flood television screens and social media feeds, stripped of all context, and the easy — and lazy — narrative is that Israel is to blame. But the reality is far more complex, and far more damning for those who actually rule Gaza.
Hamas embeds its terror infrastructure in civilian areas — schools, hospitals, apartment buildings, even mosques — not by accident, but by design. They fire rockets from rooftops and alleyways, store weapons in homes, and use civilians as human shields, knowing that any response from Israel will be broadcast globally as “proof” of cruelty. International law calls this a war crime; activists call it “resistance.”
What critics never acknowledge is that Israel invests enormous effort and risk to minimize civilian harm. No other military on earth drops warning leaflets, places phone calls, sends text alerts, and even fires “roof-knock” dummy rounds to urge civilians to leave targeted areas. And yet Hamas tells civilians to stay put, blocks their evacuation, and sometimes shoots those trying to flee — because their deaths are their greatest propaganda weapon.
Blaming Israel for Gaza’s destruction ignores the core truth: Gaza is in ruins because Hamas chose war, and because it hides behind its own people to fight it. Israel did not choose this fight; Hamas did, with the full knowledge that their own population would pay the price. To pretend otherwise is not just dishonest; it is an inversion of morality.
And yet, for all the outrage directed at Israel, few stop to compare our conduct to that of other nations when faced with existential threats or devastating attacks. Contrast that with how other nations have responded to existential threats or major attacks. After Pearl Harbor, the United States firebombed Tokyo and dropped nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After 9/11, the U.S. launched wars that reshaped the Middle East, with civilian casualties in the hundreds of thousands.
Russia has leveled entire cities in Chechnya and Ukraine without a second thought. NATO bombed Belgrade for months. And yet Israel — facing an enemy that butchers its civilians, hides behind its own women and children, and vows to exterminate the Jewish people — still calibrates every strike with the intent to spare innocents. No one else in history fights like this, and yet no one else is more relentlessly accused of “genocide.”
Those accusations collapse under the simplest examination of facts. If Israel wanted to wipe Palestinians from the earth, Gaza would be empty within 24 hours. Instead, the Palestinian population has quadrupled since 1948 and continues to grow year over year — even in Gaza, even under the supposed “genocide.” The numbers don’t lie. What does lie are the slogans chanted on college campuses and amplified by useful idiots who know nothing of the reality on the ground.
Yes, there are “bad” Israelis. Extremists exist in our society. There are voices that call for collective punishment. But they are a minority, condemned by the majority of our society, our press, and our courts.
Among Palestinians, however, polls consistently show majority support for violence, for Hamas, for the destruction of Israel — not for peace, not for a two-state solution, but for annihilation. After October 7th, Palestinian polling showed that over 70 percent of Gazans supported the attack.
Palestinian children are taught from the youngest age that Jews are subhuman and that martyrdom is the highest goal. Their textbooks are filled with maps that erase Israel entirely, with lessons that glorify murder and demonize coexistence. This isn’t an accusation; it’s their own data, their own curriculum, their own media.
Do you know what Israeli children are taught? To cherish life — their own and the lives of others. They grow up with lessons about coexistence, with textbooks that talk about peace, about respecting their neighbors, and about building a future where two peoples can live side by side.
They learn about the Holocaust, not to hate, but to understand the cost of dehumanization and to ensure “never again” applies to anyone. They are taught that the uniform of a soldier carries the burden of protecting civilians, not targeting them. In classrooms, they learn math and science, not martyrdom and murder.
In summer camps, they sing about hope and renewal, not blood and vengeance. Israeli children are raised to see the humanity in others — even those who hate them — because that is what our culture, our history, and our ethics demand.
That is why, time and again, peace has remained elusive. From the 1947 UN Partition Plan to the Oslo Accords to the Camp David talks, Israeli leaders have been willing to make painful concessions in the name of coexistence. Palestinian leaders, backed by the majority of their people, have chosen violence. The result is the same every time: more death, more suffering, and more missed opportunities.
“The Arabs never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity,” as said by Abba Eban, Israel’s foreign minister and ambassador to the United Nations during the 1960s and 1970s, after the Geneva Peace Conference of 1973, criticizing Arab leaders for rejecting opportunities for peace following the Yom Kippur War.
Has anything changed since then?
What drives Israel’s restraint is not fear or weakness, but a deep ethical foundation. The Jewish tradition teaches that every life has infinite value — “whoever saves a single life, it is as if he has saved an entire world.” This ethos permeates Israeli society, from the soldier in the field to the policymakers in the war cabinet.
It’s why, even after October 7th, Israelis debated morality while our dead were still being buried. It’s why we send aid to our enemies, treat Palestinian children in Israeli hospitals, and dream — sometimes naively — of a future where coexistence is more than a slogan.
The world often tries to paint this conflict in shades of gray, but there is a fundamental difference between a people who have the ability to destroy but choose restraint, and a people who fantasize about destruction but lack the power to achieve it.
Israel could “wipe” its enemies from the earth. We choose not to. That choice is not weakness; it is strength — the strength of morality, of history, of a nation that values life even when surrounded by those who chant for death.
And until Palestinian society undergoes its own moral reckoning, until it values life over martyrdom, there will be no true peace.
As former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir said, “Peace will come when the Arabs love their children more than they hate us.”
Because morality is not what you say when you are powerless. Morality is what you choose when you have power. And Israel, despite every provocation, continues to hold that bar incredibly high.
Op-Ed: Israel’s 2005 Withdrawal from Gaza Proves ‘Land for Peace’ Was a Fatal Delusion
August 26, 2025 Jewish Breaking News
Twenty years after Israel’s traumatic withdrawal from Gaza, the “land for peace” formula has been exposed as a deadly delusion.
A striking new poll by Israel Hayom shows 52% of Israelis now support reestablishing settlements in Gaza—a dramatic reversal from previous surveys. Just over a year ago, an Israel Democracy Institute poll found less than a quarter of Israeli Jews favored renewed settlement there. Something fundamental has shifted in Israeli thinking, and October 7th explains everything.
Support cuts across religious lines in ways that would have seemed impossible before Hamas’s massacre. The Israel Hayom survey shows 83% of ultra-Orthodox Jews back returning to Gaza, along with 67% of religious Jews. Even among secular Israelis—traditionally the most dovish constituency—29% now support renewed settlement.
Prime Minister at the time Ariel Sharon’s decision to abandon Gaza wasn’t born from weakness or idealism, but rather strategic calculation wrapped in demographic anxiety. In his August 15, 2005 address, Sharon laid out the arithmetic that haunted Israeli planners: “More than a million Palestinians live there and double their number with each generation.”
PE’AT SADEH, GAZA STRIP – AUGUST 21: An Israeli bulldozer tears down a settler’s house during the demolition of evacuated settlements begins August 21, 2005 in Pe’at Sadeh settlement in the Gaza Strip. Israel neared the completion of its disengagement with the eviction of thousands of settlers from 20 of 21 communities in the Gaza Strip. The grafitti on the wall reads “The Messiah is coming”.

Gaza’s numbers were indeed staggering. When Israel withdrew, over 1.3 million Palestinians lived in the Strip—99.4% of the population. Nearly half were under 14 years old. Only 8,600 Jews called Gaza home, a microscopic minority requiring thousands of soldiers to protect them.
Sharon formally announced his plan in an April 2004 letter to President Bush, stating “there exists no Palestinian partner with whom to advance peacefully toward a settlement.” Without a negotiating partner, Israel would act unilaterally.
Benjamin Netanyahu saw through Sharon’s strategy and resigned from the cabinet in protest, refusing “to be a partner to a move which ignores reality, and proceeds blindly toward turning the Gaza Strip into a base for Islamic terrorism which will threaten the state.”
His warning seemed hyperbolic at the time. Today it reads like prophecy.
during the debating of the 2005 state budget in the Knesset (Israel’s Parliament) in Jerusalem. Israeli Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tendered his resignation 07 August 2005 to the government over his opposition to this month’s planned withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. AFP
What followed the August 2005 evacuation wasn’t the peaceful Palestinian mini-state Sharon’s supporters envisioned. Hamas won Palestinian elections in 2006, then violently seized complete control of Gaza in 2007. Instead of building the “Middle Eastern Singapore” that Shimon Peres once promised, Hamas constructed underground terror tunnel networks, rocket factories, and recruited an army.
Each subsequent conflict—2008, 2012, 2014, 2021—and of course Oct. 7 in 2023, vindicated the settlers who had warned that retreat would be seen as weakness inviting aggression.
The 1,200 Israelis killed that day, the 250 taken hostage, the stories of unprecedented brutality—all emerged from territory Israel had voluntarily abandoned in hopes of peace.
Now Israeli politicians who once dismissed settlement advocates as extremists are embracing their vindication. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich addressed a pro-settlement conference earlier this year, declaring: “We need to go back home to Gush Katif. We need to go back home because that’s the Torah, that’s historical justice and that’s what’s right. Today everyone understands that running away from territory brings war.”
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir was even more direct: “Part of the righting of the wrong in our thinking is to go back home to Gush Katif.”
With Israeli forces now advancing on Gaza City in what could be the war’s decisive phase, the question becomes whether now is the time to turn back the clock on Israel’s greatest mistake. Although Netanyahu told Fox News that Israel doesn’t intend to take control of the entire Strip, the lessons of 2005 demand that any victory be permanent this time.
How Palestinians Destroyed Lebanon: From Prosperous Christian Majority to Nearly Failed State
August 24, 2025 Jewish Breaking News
One of the projectiles landed in the yard of a home in Ginaton, a town in central Israel, leaving minor damage. Officials stressed that the failure to intercept the missile is still under review but is not linked to the warhead’s design.
According to the IDF, Israel’s multilayered air defense system — including its upper-tier interceptors — is fully capable of downing such missiles, as it has done in the past.
Military officials noted that Iran has previously fired cluster bomb–equipped ballistic missiles at Israel during June’s 12-day conflict, underscoring Tehran’s direct supply line to the Houthis in Yemen.

WESTERN WALL OVERWHELMED, TERROR IN TEL AVIV THWARTED, UMAN ROSH HASHANA?
August 24, 2025 Israel Realtime
▪️WESTERN WALL OVERWHELMED – tonight starts Selichos, penitential prayers before Rosh Hashana, which start tonight per Sephardi tradition. Crowds overwhelmed transportation capacity to/from the Kotel (Western Wall), as people streamed to pray for good news with the coming year. The police have blocked the access road to the Western Wall and announced that there will be no buses for a time, to allow existing traffic to move.
▪️HOUTHIS THREATEN – The Houthis threaten to fire towards the north in response to Israel’s attack today:
.. Deputy Commander of the Political Guidance of the Houthi forces: ‘We will double our attacks against Israel and hit more significant targets deep inside the Zionist entity.’ (( To date after 130 attacks the Houthis have hit (5): an orange grove, an empty residential building in an outlying town, the street next to a school, a Palestinian town in Judea, and a residential building in Tel Aviv killing 1. ))
.. Al-Miyadin Lebanese from a Houthi military source: ‘Our air defense forces forced enemy aircraft to leave Yemeni territory. The air defense forces succeeded in neutralizing a squadron of enemy aircraft and prevented them from attacking several provinces in Yemen. We noticed widespread confusion among the enemy aircraft squadron after our air defense confronted the planes.’ (( This is laughable, only lack of fuel and expending all their weapons brought Israel’s aircraft to leave. ))
.. The Houthi government: ‘There is extensive destruction at the Haziz power station following the barbaric attack. A power outage was caused by the attack. A vehicle fuel depot was attacked.’ (( Apparently their firing of a cluster warhead at Israel’s primary civilian areas isn’t a barbaric attack, because Jews? ))
🔪TERROR – THWARTED – A short time ago an illegal resident suspected of being a terrorist was arrested, found armed, in northern Tel Aviv and handed over to the Shin Bet. fAnd just now, another suspect was arrested on suspicion of planning an attack from Tel Aviv. The two suspects arrested are legal residents from Shechem.
▪️UMAN ROSH HASHANA – Pilgrimage news to the tomb of Rebbe Nachman of Breslev, zt”l, in Uman, Ukraine for Rosh Hashana: The government intends to budget 10 million NIS to enable flights to Uman due to Moldova’s demand for payment for infrastructure for transit through its territory. No info on how they intend to square the circle of a fare number of the Haredim who want to go also being classified as draft dodgers who can be stopped at the airport and arrested.
🇮🇶IRAQ – The Iranian supported Shia resistance representation in Iraq, in an official statement presented to the Iraqi government, ‘the surrender of the resistance’s weapons will not take place.’
🇪🇬EGYPT – The Egyptian Army is reinforcing its forces on the border with Gaza over concerns that if the IDF seizes more areas in Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip, about a million Gazans may flee south and attempt to breech the border in Egypt.

Tel Aviv’s Secret Op: 130 Shuls Must Operate With ‘Equality’ Or Be Evicted By The Municipality
August 24, 2025 Yeshiva World News
Shortly before the October 7 massacre in 2023, unprecedented clashes between Jews took place on the holiest day of the year due to the actions of the Tel Aviv municipality, which banned gender-segregated tefillos on the streets of the city (despite allowing Arabs to hold gender-segregated prayers on the street.)
Two years later, the Tel Aviv Municipality is carrying out a new clandestine operation targeting over 100 shuls in the city, demanding that they operate in violation of halacha or face eviction, a Ynet report revealed on Sunday. Some shuls signed the agreement, and others that refused to sign are in court fighting eviction orders.
There are hundreds of active shuls in Tel Aviv, with some built on land allocated for that purpose by the city and others on privately purchased land. However, 130 shuls are not officially registered, or their registration is incomplete, and their land is listed in Israel’s Land Registry (Tabu) as owned by the municipality.
These are the shuls being targeted in the operation—with the municipality demanding that they adhere to “equality” principles—”without distinctions of gender or faith”—and their “nusach tefillah be set by its management committee accordingly.” Municipality officials declared that “no activities deviating from these principles will be allowed, or the shuls will be evicted.”
In one case, the Beis Din declared the Tiferet Tzvi shul as a religious endowment and prevented the municipality from taking it over. In response, the municipality filed a petition with the Supreme Court against the Beis Din, which is still pending.
It should be noted that the municipality is not requiring mosques in Tel Aviv to sign the agreement.
Shul leaders warn of far-reaching consequences: “If this demand passes, it will mean one thing—the systematic silencing of Jewish mesorah in the name of ‘equality.’ Shuls will be forced to choose between faithfulness to halacha or basic survival.”

🚨 BREAKING: Uprising In Iran Reaches MULTIPLE Cities – IRGC Prepare Crackdown [31:02] Mahyar Tousi

🇮🇷 Iran FM: Highly enriched uranium stockpile is buried and unreachable for now
August 23, 2025 Jewish Breaking News
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says that Tehran’s cache of highly enriched uranium is “buried,” with no real way to get it out at the moment—an extraordinary admission that underscores how hard Israeli-U.S. strikes have complicated Iran’s breakout options.
The IAEA has assessed Iran holds enough 60% enriched uranium that, if further refined, could yield material for roughly nine nuclear weapons.
Analysts at the Institute for Science and International Security calculate that once access and cascades are restored, Iran could convert its current 60% stock to ~233 kg of weapons-grade uranium in about three weeks, with the first bomb’s worth in 2–3 days.
Israeli and U.S. attacks severely damaged key sites, and multiple briefed
officials have said much of the highly enriched uranium was stashed underground at Isfahan and Fordow—hard to retrieve without detection.

🟩CLUSTER WARHEAD? YET MORE PROTESTS, POLITICS-GANTZ OFFERS, TRAIN SERVICE UPDATE, AND GAZA ACTVITY – Real time from Israel
August 23,, 2025 Israel Realtime
Shavua Tov – blessings for a good, safe and prosperous week, a successful week for our soldiers, a safe return for our hostages, and a really bad week for our enemies.
( VIDEO – Israeli Bunker Busters being used to take out an underground tunnel in Deir al-Ballah, located in central Gaza. )
⭕SUICIDE DRONE fired by the HOUTHIS Friday late afternoon to KILL JEWS passed into Israel over the Egyptian Sinai then over the Gaza Strip, and by multiple near-Gaza southern towns before being intercepted.
⭕BALLISTIC MISSILE, possibly with a CLUSTER WARHEAD, fired by the HOUTHIS Shabbat night to KILL JEWS in central Israel, intercepted. Shrapnel fell in the Modi’in area.
.. According to the initial report given yesterday – the missile disintegrated shortly before reaching Israeli territory, and the Air Force launched interceptors AT ITS PARTS. It is now being investigated whether these were cluster parts, each a separate smaller warhead that spread over a wide area to increase deadliness.
🎗️HOSTAGE STATUS – According to the information Israel has: 20 of the abductees are alive, 2 are in critical condition, 28 are not alive.
▪️PROTESTS – HOSTAGE RELEASE – (( I have to say it is unclear what the protestors want beyond “free the hostages”, which Israel isn’t holding. Since there is literally no deal from Hamas that offers freeing all the hostages, and no deal that doesn’t rearm Hamas for a future round of war and hostage taking, I don’t understand what the protestors think can happen. Am I missing something? ))
Shabbat day, protestors for the captives are blocking the Ayalon (Tel Aviv highway) routes in both directions, setting up a symbolic Shabbat table in the road and lighting it on fire.
.. I’ve seen messages about planned protests, intersection blocking, for Sunday and Tuesday, but haven’t seen further confirmation. Searching further and will report if found.
▪️INTERNAL POLITICS – Opposition MK Gantz, Blue & White party leader appears to be offering to join the coalition, to weaken the right wing influence of Smotrich (Religious Zionism) and Ben Gvir (Otzma Yehudit): “I call on Netanyahu, Lapid, and Lieberman – the time has come for a government of hostage redemption and burden sharing. We will accomplish the two tasks and go to elections after half a year. Unlike the poison machine, I do not want to save Netanyahu, but the hostages. I will continue my political journey.” He appears to be offering to join the coalition for 6 months, with a commitment to make a deal (there is none on the table nor any path to any viable deal) and go to elections.
▪️TRAIN SERVICE – Israel Railways: Tomorrow train service from the south to Tel Aviv will resume and the Ganei Aviv and Kfar Chabad stations will be opened for service. Trains will reach Tel Aviv HaHagana station – on Monday all train lines will return to operation.
▪️MAYOR OF BARCELONA – After declaring the severance of ties with Israel, the mayor of Barcelona was denied entry to Israel.
▪️EPSTEIN – US Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche interviewing convicted child sexual predator Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted sex offender who was associated with Jeffrey Epstein s his recruiter and accomplice – “Were there any international businessmen or politicians that had a very close relationship or a close relationship with Mr. Epstein, that we haven’t already talked about?” Ghislaine Maxwell – “Off the top of my head, I can think of (Former Israeli PM) Ehud Barak.” [Emphasis added]
US Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche – “Have you ever had any contact with an individual that you understand to be from Mossad, an Israeli intelligence agency”. Ghislaine Maxwell – “Well, not deliberately.”
♦️GAZA – enemy videos being released from Gaza City and surrounds show the IDF using FPV (first person video) drones “Ukrainian style”, small drones arrive, view, and drop and explosive or fly into a location and explode.
.. Gazans report killed in an attack on the Amr ibn al-As school in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza City.
.. Gazans report killed and injured in an artillery attack on the Abu Iskandar neighborhood in the northern part of Gaza City.
.. Israeli tanks have reportedly advanced into the Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City. Al Jazeera aired footage purportedly showing IDF tanks in the Sabra neighborhood, which is located in the central part of Gaza City, close to the Zeitoun neighborhood, where the military has been operating for over a week. The IDF has said it is operating on the outskirts of Gaza City ahead of a major offensive that would see the military capture the entire city.
.. HUNGER IN GAZA – Bee Hub & Café, Shuhadaa St, Gaza City, “…in the heart of Gaza, where simplicity meets elegance, a café that brings us together for a cup of coffee and peace of mind” publishes a video YESTERDAY on Instagram on their great looking food. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNpy9jYM2V_/
♦️LEBANON – IDF airstrike in Baalbek al-Shaab in southern Lebanon.
.. Lebanese report: Major fire at Beirut port. Circumstances unknown. This is the same port that blew up in a massive explosion several years ago.
.. A Hezbollah weapon depot in southern Lebanon’s Deir Kifa was targeted in an Israeli strike Shabbat night, the IDF says.
.. Lebanese leader Ibrahim Al-Saqr in the Bekaa district in general, and in the Zahle district and city in particular to Hezbollah: “The Shiites and Hezbollah currently have two options: either they hand over their weapons peacefully, or the Americans (and Israelis) will come and trample on them until they are destroyed.”
🇮🇷IRAN BLAMES ISRAEL – The Iranian Intelligence Ministry announced that its forces dismantled a cell consisting of non-Iranians in Sistan and Baluchestan, killing 6 militants, capturing 2 others, and seizing a large cache of sophisticated weapons, vehicles, and other operational equipment.
The Ministry said the group had been preparing to attack a vital facility in the province, claiming that training methods and exercises carried out on a model of the target suggested ‘links to Israel’s Mossad’.

A Prisoner’s Narrative: Inside Iran’s Infamous Prison (1)
Mice and Men in Individual Prison Cells
On one of the cold days of early winter in 1984, when I was imprisoned in the “Dead Men’s Hotel” in Isfahan, central Iran, I was unexpectedly transferred to another cell by a member of the Revolutionary Guards who was in charge of the prison. As soon as I removed my blindfold, I realized that my new cell had a restroom. I was relieved and took a deep breath.
I had been spending about two months in solitary confinement. From the very beginning, walking was very difficult and painful for me due to severe injuries to my feet caused by torture and cable beatings. Now they had brought me to a cell that had a restroom. One of the advantages of having this restroom was that I didn’t have to wait for my turn and the assistance of a guard every time I needed to use it, especially with the condition kidney bleeding and the specific physical conditions I had developed after several sessions of cable beatings.
A few days later, the prison guard spoke through the small sliding hatch on the cell door, “Get ready, you have to go to another cell.” The first thing that came to my mind was that they probably wanted to give this cell to another injured prisoner, who could no longer walk properly, and take me to a cell without a restroom.
Anyway, I picked up my small nylon bag and personal belongings, and with a glance at that cold, dark, lifeless cell, which a while ago was part of a large stable for horses and livestock, I separated and entered the new cell with a guard who was a member of the Revolutionary Guards. We passed through a corridor, blindfolded, and entered the new cell.
It was almost the same as the previous one. The same limited length and width, with tall and rugged walls, a crescent-shaped ceiling, and a small meshed window near the ceiling. And of course, the coldness that seemed to have settled on the floor and along the walls. A worn-out black military blanket covered the cement floor of this individual cell, along with two other thin black blankets, which were considered a mattress and a blanket for the prisoner. That was it.
Transfer to the New Individual Prison Cell
As soon as I entered the new cell, I first checked the restroom and water tap, located behind a short wall about a meter high at the end of the cell. Then, to prevent my body temperature from dropping, while wrapping one of the blankets around me, I sat on the second blanket, which had been folded several times, in the sitting area of the cell, leaning against the same wall. Several weeks passed, and I was in this cell. The pain in my legs increased every day, and the bruising and swelling of my feet, which had extended up to my knees, were so severe that I could hardly move them at all.
See more:
Some days, as I sat and stared at the iron door of the cell in front of me, my mind wandered. The anxiety and stress caused by the precarious situation of my new case did not leave me for a moment. The blow that had been struck had led to the exposure of my comrades, and ultimately, I had become a victim under interrogation. All the pressure was related to this. By my fate, I had vowed to myself and my God not to give any information to endanger anyone’s life, no matter what, even if it led to ending my life here… It continues…
Secret Detention Center in Iran Warehouse Subjects Hundreds to Systematic Torture
August 23, 2025 Jewish Breaking News
A disturbing investigation has found Iranian authorities are using a warehouse in Isfahan province as a secret detention facility where hundreds of prisoners endure systematic torture.
Iran Human Rights Society released its findings Tuesday after weeks of gathering reports about the unreported facility in Shahin Shahr, which operates under Revolutionary Guards management despite being officially labeled a “prison employment site.”
A satellite photo provided by the organization shows a warehouse with a small yard surrounded by barbed wire fencing, though the group withheld precise coordinates due to security concerns and the facility’s deliberate concealment.
Each morning starting at 5 a.m., approximately 100 prisoners are reportedly bused out for what investigators describe as forced labor, while those remaining behind endure brutal conditions that violate international standards. Living conditions inside prove particularly harsh during Iran’s scorching summers, as the warehouse has no cooling or ventilation systems. Making matters worse, authorities deliberately cut water and electricity for three consecutive days each week.
Daily sustenance barely meets survival levels, with prisoners receiving only two loaves of bread and a small portion of substandard food. Meanwhile,m edical care remains virtually non-existent, though guards regularly distribute tranquilizers and methadone as a means to repress sedition.
Perhaps most troubling, many prisoners at the facility have already completed significant portions of their sentences and should qualify for conditional release. Instead of freedom, however, they face additional charges for minor infractions as Isfahan’s prosecutor exploits legal loopholes to extend detention periods and even impose new death sentences.
The revelations add to mounting evidence of systematic torture and abuse in Iranian detention facilities. Last year, the U.S. Treasury sanctioned Isfahan Province Prisons Director-General Alireza Babaei Farsani and other officials for overseeing torture at facilities under their control, including the well-known Isfahan Central Prison where rapper Toomaj Salehi was tortured into making a false confession during 2022’s nationwide protests.
