A few days ago a terror tunnel was discovered west of Hebron, near the Jewish community of Telem in Judea.

The Israeli soldier tells how Jewish "settlers" had warned about a noise coming from the earth for some time, but no one took them seriously.

Now, a tunnel shaft has been discovered near them in the garden of a Palestinian home.

Work on the tunnel halted due to the war, which has included a crackdown on terrorist activity in Judea and Samaria.

Hamas chief Saleh al-Arouri, eliminated in Beirut yesterday, was responsible for building the terrorist infrastructure in the biblical heartland of Judea and Samaria.

If there's one tunnel, there are guaranteed to be many more.

103 dead in the bombing at Qasem Soleimani's grave, according to Iranian media.

There is concern in Israel that the Iranian regime will use this as an excuse to attack Israel, probably from Syria or Lebanon.

Gazans out of Gaza?

France and the US condemned far-right Israeli government ministers for publicly advocating the voluntary emigration of Palestinians from Gaza.

But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed this week that Israel is in talks with nations in Africa and the Middle East on the possibility of absorbing thousands of Gazans after the war.

And, as Economy Minister Bezalel Smotrich noted, over 70% of Israelis support the idea of encouraging voluntary emigration. As he noted, Israelis no longer want to live next to "two million people who wake up every morning with the desire to destroy the State of Israel."

Sahar Baruch, 25, has been confirmed dead by the IDF this evening.

Sahar was killed during an IDF attempt to rescue him from Hamas captivity in the Gaza Strip on December 8.

It is unclear at this time whether he was murdered by Hamas or killed by IDF fire during the battle.

Two IDF soldiers were seriously wounded in the attempted rescue.

Sahar was abducted by Hamas from Kibbutz Be'eri on October 7.

His body is still being held by Hamas.

May his memory be a blessing.

Two rockets were fired from Gaza this morning at the coastal city of Ashkelon.

Both were intercepted by Iron Dome.

Terrorist rocket attacks from Gaza have now become a relative rarity with the IDF in control of northern Gaza, and exerting tremendous pressure on the Hamas strongholds in southern Gaza.

Following the elimination of senior Hamas figures in Beirut, and subsequent threats of revenge from Hezbollah and Iran, Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib says:

"The government of Lebanon is not interested in war. We fear being dragged into a regional war."


And yet, the government of Lebanon does nothing, or is unable to do anything about ongoing Hezbollah attacks on northern Israel that have forced 80,000 Israelis to become refugees in their own country.

Lebanon doesn't want war, but is allowing its territory to be used to provoke war.

ISIS has taken responsibility for the deadly explosion yesterday in Iran.

An ISIS spokesman today also expounded on the need for Muslims all over the word to attack Jews, everywhere. He insisted there is no difference between an Israeli Jew and a Jew abroad. Muslims must make war on all of them.

πŸ€” Why did ISIS bomb Iran? (see aboveπŸ‘†)

ISIS is a Sunni Muslim movement.

Iran is the heart of Shia Islam.

Both desire Islamic world domination, but from different theological positions.

As we have stressed before, all politics and conflict in the Middle East is theological and religious at its core. This is something Western power brokers have a difficult time grasping, and which they typically try to ignore - which is why Western diplomatic efforts in the Middle East never work!

The Sunnis and Shiites hate each other as much as they hate Israel.

The only thing that can sometimes bring them together is shared hatred for Israel, as in the case of Sunni Hamas working with Shiite Hezbollah.

Kibbutz Nir Oz has sadly confirmed the death of one of its residents, Tamir Adar.

Tamir was part of the kibbutz armed response team that fought Hamas on October 7.

He was either killed and his body taken, or abducted and killed in captivity. Either way, Hamas still holds his remains.

Tamir's wife and two children survived the terrorist invasion.

His mother, Yaffa Adar (85) was also abducted and later released in one of the hostage deals.

It was Yaffa, a Holocaust survivor, who became the face of Israeli defiance amid the hostage crisis after she would not allow Hamas to break her.

‼️ The 'Red Flag of Revenge' is raised

This morning, the 'Red Flag of Revenge' was raised over the Jamkaran Mosque in the Iranian city of Qom. The reason for this is the attack on the grave of the notorious Revolutionary Guard commander Qassam Soleimani in Kerman.

The last time this flag was raised was following Soleimani's assassination in January 2020. It was lowered after the Iranians attacked the American base in Ain al-Asad in Iraq as revenge.

The public raising of this flag signals an act of revenge that must be "seen and heard." This event creates anticipation, and the regime wouldn't raise the flag unless it intended to carry out some sort of attack in the very near future.

The question remains, does Iran intend to take vengeance on Israel, or on ISIS, which has claimed credit for the Kerman bombing?
