🇮🇱🚨 Kann News: Israel has asked other countries to help intercept Iranian drones and ballistic missiles

Israel has asked other countries to help intercept Iranian drones and ballistic missiles. The British are helping, the French are hesitant.

🔗 Kann News

📝 Intel Slava - This firmly suggests the Israeli air defense network is nearing exhaustion, corroborating multiple other reports we’ve been covering over the last 12 hours.

🇺🇸‼️ Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

Based on hundreds of crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6m people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday.

🇺🇸‼️Even when you correct for population, No Kings was still the biggest. Nearly 2% of the adult US population turned out to protest!

🇺🇸‼️ Assassinations, Violence and Increasing Turmoil: America in Unrest

Over the last several days, global attention has understandably been focused on the Israeli aggression in the Middle East but events domestically in America have continued to unravel. Among the notable events that many may have missed:

▪️Two days ago, U.S. Senator for California Alex Padilla stormed a speaking event by DHS Secretary Noem and was arrested by Federal agents.

▪️This provoked Governor Newsom to call the Trump Administration tyrannical and this came on the heels of the Governor sharing the “California Republic” State flag, move many took as possibly a warning to Washington.

▪️In a bizarre series of late night legal actions, a Federal judge first ruled the President Trump had unlawfully federalized the California National Guard and ordered its return back to Governor Newsom’s control just for said ruling to be vacated temporarily by another Federal Judge in defense of Trump’s actions.

▪️On the basis of the injunction, President Trump then signaled a willingness to expand the use of Federalization orders to other National Guards as well as the possible deployment of U.S. Marines to other cities. This was met by fury by multiple Democratic Governors.

▪️Yesterday, U.S. Marines were deployed for the first time to Los Angeles where they conducted their first arrest of a protester. Governor Newsom has continued to rail against the use of active duty U.S. Military forces being used in a policing role.

▪️Finally, today in Minnesota the majority leader of the State House (The chief legislative body of Minnesota) was asssassinated along with her Husband by a former appointee of the Governor. In the suspect’s car was found many materials pertaining to the “No Kings” Protests currently sweeping the nation, suggesting a political linkage between the event and the movement. Of note, the assassinated legislator had recently been the deciding vote in abolishing State funding for healthcare for illegal immigrants; this is notable given the Anti-ICE element of the current protests.

🇮🇱🚨 Israeli government has ordered airlines not to take Israelis abroad even when rescue flights begin

The Israeli government has ordered Israeli Airlines not to allow Israelis to leave Israel on planes designated for rescue flights for Israelis abroad. The reason for this is the desire of the security authorities to prevent crowds at Ben Gurion Airport, and to reduce the risk of mass casualties among passengers waiting for a flight abroad.

🔗 Haaretz

📝 Intel Slava - This is both a further indication of the declining ability of the IDF’s air defenses to defeat Iranian missile barrages as well as an admission of increasing panic among Israeli citizens, as they attempt to flee the country.

🇮🇱🇮🇷🚨 Haaretz: Has Israel Already Lost to Iran in the War for Our Safety?

As Israeli civilians shelter from attacks, the public is "attacked" also by propaganda from the government, the Israeli army and the Mossad about the list of nuclear facilities and Islamic Republic generals eliminated, thanks to Israel's impressive and cunning operational capabilities.

But in a few days or weeks, when the smoke clears from bombings and the intoxicating testosterone dissipates, it will become clear to the Israeli public that the Iranian threat has in fact not been resolved. Perhaps Iran's motivation to produce nuclear weapons has even increased as a result of this round of violence.

Victory in war is not amorphous. It relies on achieving clearly defined goals. As with Gaza, the war in Iran also lacks realistic goals. As experts and Israeli officials have repeatedly argued, there is no way to erase the vast nuclear knowledge that Iran has accumulated over the years.

As long as the Iranian regime's extremist ideology remains, an ideology that cannot be assassinated or bombed into submission, every military facility that Israel destroyed will be rebuilt and every general killed will be replaced. The only ones who can decide the nature of the regime in Iran are its citizens.

🔗 Haaretz

📝 Intel Slava - Israeli media, experts and officials are increasingly just admitting they’ve failed to achieve their goals in the operation and the tit for tat exchanges with Iran are unwinnable for them.

🇮🇱🇮🇷‼️ Israeli security and military affairs expert Yossi Melman: "The euphoria was short-lived.”

By Friday morning, I was wondering: was it necessary to enter this war at all, especially against the Iranians? Shiites are historically prepared to endure suffering. I recalled their readiness to sacrifice as they proved during the eight years of attrition with Iraq. I advise that we minimize losses and that you turn to Trump to stop this madness through a reasonable agreement, otherwise we will find ourselves ultimately begging for a ceasefire, and Iran will refuse.

—❗️🇮🇱/🇮🇷 WATCH: Ballistic missile launches from Iran, seems to be a large wave

Likely launched from silos in Ahvaz judging by the Arabic being spoken.

—❗️🇮🇱/🇮🇷 WATCH: Multiple direct impacts seen in Tel Aviv

@Middle_East_Spectator

According to updated information, there have been 8 confirmed impacts in Israel.

4 in Haifa, 2 of which impacted the power plant.
4 in Tel Aviv, 3 of which impacted the city centre.

Israel's air defence is clearly getting weaker. It sounds like less than 30 ballistics were launched in total.
