🛡️ ISRAELI CABINET CONCLUDES FOUR-HOUR SECURITY DISCUSSIONS ON IRAN AMID IRGC LARGE-SCALE MILITARY DRILLS; IRAN PROTEST DEATH TOLL PASSES 40 AS U.S. WARNS TEHRAN, ISRAEL REJECTS TURKISH PRESENCE IN GAZA
🕑 January 5, 2026 | 12:30 PM
🎯 The IDF Spokesperson reports that yesterday the IDF struck and eliminated two terrorists from the Hezbollah terrorist organization in the Jmaijmeh area of southern Lebanon.
According to the IDF, the operatives were involved in efforts to reconstruct Hezbollah military infrastructure.
The IDF stated that their activities constituted a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.
⚠️ Last night, a small Israeli cabinet meeting was held in Jerusalem, led by Prime Minister Netanyahu, with discussions focused on Iran.
The meeting concluded after approximately four hours. It followed reports that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps conducted large-scale military drills across several regions of Iran, involving missile forces and air defense systems.
❌ Monitoring agencies report that the death toll in Iran’s protests has crossed 40. Approximately 250 police officers and 45 Basij members were injured during clashes with protesters.
👀 President Trump said: “We are monitoring this situation very closely. If they start killing people like they have in the past, I think they are going to get hit very hard by the U.S”.
🇮🇱 Israeli Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli said: “We are saying to the Turks in Syria, stay out of Syria and specifically southern Syria and in Gaza, don't even think about getting into Gaza and we cannot accept it. No matter what, we cannot accept Turkish troops in Gaza. It would be a disaster and a major threat for the State of Israel because it puts the IDF and the Turkish forces and there might be a chance that because of some misunderstanding or something small that can light a big war and we don't want it to happen”.
💢 Iran has demanded repayment of state debts incurred in Syria during the Assad era. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said during a press conference: “Financial obligations are not canceled by a change of government in a country.”
❌ WEAPONS SMUGGLING ATTEMPT FOILED: IDF forces thwarted an attempted weapons smuggling operation along the western border. Overnight, IDF observation units and the aerial monitoring system identified a drone crossing into Israeli territory from the west in an attempt to smuggle weapons. IDF forces from the Paran Brigade neutralized the drone, which was carrying three M-16 rifles and magazines. The seized weapons were transferred to security forces for further handling.
⚠️ TERRORIST’S HOME CONFISCATED AND SET FOR DEMOLITION: The IDF announced the confiscation and demolition of the home of the terrorist Ahmad Abd al-Rahim Muhammad Abu al-Rub. The terrorist carried out a combined attack at multiple locations in northern Israel last week, in which Shimson Mordechai and Aviv Meor, of blessed memory, were murdered and additional civilians were injured. The demolition notice was delivered after the sealing of the terrorist’s home was completed on Sunday, December 28, 2025.
💣 PLANNED MINE AND UXO CLEARANCE OPERATIONS: The Mine and Unexploded Ordnance Clearance Authority in the Ministry of Defense will carry out operations tomorrow, Tuesday, January 6, 2026, to remove landmines and unexploded munitions in the Sea of Galilee (Kinneret) area and the Jordan Valley. As part of the planned activity, explosion sounds may be heard and smoke clouds may be visible in the area.

🎯 IDF ELIMINATES HAMAS OPERATIVE PLANNING IMMINENT GAZA ATTACK AS ISRAEL AND U.S. SIGNAL IRAN CONTINGENCY PREPAREDNESS THROUGH SPECIAL FORCES POSTURE AND SECURITY ENFORCEMENT
🕑 January 5, 2026 | 5:00 PM
🎯 IDF TARGETED STRIKE IN SOUTHERN GAZA: A short while ago, the IDF struck, in accordance with the ceasefire agreement, a Hamas terrorist who was planning to carry out an imminent terror attack against IDF troops operating in the southern Gaza Strip. The terrorist posed an imminent threat to the troops and was precisely struck.
⚠️ REPORT: U.S.-ISRAEL UNDERSTANDING ON IRAN: Lebanese authorities received information from international sources that President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu agreed during their meeting in Florida to launch an attack on Iran if no agreement is reached with the country.
⚠️ Reports indicate increased U.S. military movement out of RAF Mildenhall in the United Kingdom. Osprey aircraft have also been observed airborne.
According to defense and security reporting, President Trump has allegedly ordered U.S. special forces units to reposition within Europe as part of contingency planning tied to rising tensions with Iran. The move is described as a precautionary posture intended to improve readiness, not to signal an imminent attack.
The reported rationale includes concerns over Iran’s nuclear activity, regional proxy operations, and potential retaliation scenarios that could target U.S. interests or allies. Positioning forces in Europe is framed as providing operational flexibility and rapid-response capability while avoiding an immediate forward escalation in the Middle East.
The report notes there is no official Pentagon confirmation and that the information is attributed to defense and security sources. It also stresses that such movements can occur during periods of heightened tension and do not automatically indicate a decision to strike.
European officials are cited as concerned about spillover escalation and the risk of being drawn into a broader conflict if U.S.–Iran tensions intensify. Overall, the reported move is presented as deterrence and preparedness rather than a confirmed operational plan or declaration of war.
❌ Israel’s internal security service, the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), has arrested an individual accused of photographing the home of former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett under Iranian direction. This is the second such arrest reported in the past two weeks.
❗️ Iranian police said they have arrested a Mossad agent among protesters in Tehran. Iran is now in its ninth day of protests, with crowds chanting slogans against the government.
🔹 Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel told the Greek outlet Kathimerini that Israeli-made technology inside F-35 fighter jets cannot be shared with Turkey. “This applies even if Turkey acquires those airplanes,” she added.
⚠️ The IDF condemned hate speech graffiti sprayed on the Army Radio Unit’s building, calling it a serious and forbidden act of incitement against IDF personnel. The military said it must be condemned in the strongest terms and requested that law enforcement authorities hold those involved accountable under the law.

⚠️ ISRAEL ISSUES EVACUATION WARNINGS IN SOUTHERN LEBANON AS NETANYAHU SETS IRAN RED LINES AND UNPRECEDENTED U.S. SPECIAL FORCES MOVEMENT HEADS TO THE UK; IRAN PREPARES FOR POSSIBLE U.S.-ISRAELI ACTION AND INDIA ISSUES TRAVEL ADVISORY
🕑 January 5, 2026 | 6:00 PM
⚠️ SOUTHERN LEBANON EVACUATION WARNINGS: Israel has issued evacuation orders for four locations in southern Lebanon, citing an imminent threat of military action. The IDF instructed residents of Anan, Al-Manar, Kfar Hatta, and Ain al-Tineh to evacuate ahead of planned airstrikes.
🇺🇳 UNIFIL PATROL INCIDENT: A joint French–Nepalese UNIFIL patrol was stopped in Mays al-Jabal, southern Lebanon. The patrol reported that an Israeli drone was jamming its vehicles and flying at low altitude over the patrol.
⚠️ NETANYAHU WARNS IRAN: Prime Minister Netanyahu said, “It is very possible that we are standing at a decisive moment, a moment in which the Iranian people will take their fate into their own hands. In any case, we will not allow Iran to rebuild the ballistic missile industry or renew the nuclear program.”
He added, “I clarified regarding their military exercises that if we are attacked, the consequences for Iran will be very severe.”
❗️ U.S. SPECIAL FORCES MOVEMENT TO UK: Large cargo shipments linked to the U.S. Air Force’s 427th Special Operations Squadron are scheduled to arrive later today at RAF Fairford in the United Kingdom. The scale of special forces equipment being moved is described as unprecedented.
⚠️ IRANIAN SECURITY ASSESSMENTS: Iranian officials quoted by Reuters say Tehran is actively preparing for the possibility of a new wave of American-Israeli attacks. One Iranian official said that following the U.S. operation in Venezuela, some Iranian authorities fear Iran could become “the next victim of President Trump’s aggressive foreign policy.” Another Iranian official added: “Concerns are growing in Tehran that Trump or Israel might take military action against Iran, similar to what occurred in June.”
🔹 U.S. WARNINGS AND VENEZUELA PRECEDENT: Iranian officials told Reuters that President Trump’s warning that the U.S. would intervene if protesters were killed significantly narrowed Tehran’s options. The U.S. operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and transferred him to the United States intensified fears that Washington is prepared to act decisively against adversarial regimes, and raised concern in Tehran that similar action could eventually be directed at Iran.
⚠️ INDIA ISSUES TRAVEL ADVISORY: India issued an advisory asking its citizens to avoid non-essential travel to Iran. India also urged nationals currently in Iran to avoid protest areas, exercise caution, and contact the Indian embassy.

🎯 IDF STRIKES HEZBOLLAH AND HAMAS WEAPONS SITES IN LEBANON, ENFORCES MOVEMENT RESTRICTIONS IN JUDEA AND SAMARIA, AND ELIMINATES GAZA INFILTRATOR
🕑 January 6, 2026 | 10:00 AM
💥 IDF strikes Hezbollah and Hamas terror infrastructure in Lebanon: Yesterday, the IDF conducted precise strikes against terror infrastructure sites belonging to the Hezbollah and Hamas terrorist organizations in several areas in Lebanon. The targets included weapon storage facilities and military structures, both above and below ground, used by Hezbollah to advance attacks against IDF soldiers and the State of Israel, and to rebuild its military capabilities.
The IDF also struck Hamas weapons production sites in southern Lebanon used for the organization’s military buildup and for carrying out terror attacks against IDF soldiers and the State of Israel. The IDF stated that the sites were located within civilian areas and described this as another example of terrorist organizations using Lebanese civilians as human shields for terrorist activity.
Prior to the strikes, steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians, including advance warnings to the population in the area. The IDF said the activity at these sites constitutes a violation of the ceasefire understandings between Israel and Lebanon and poses a threat to the State of Israel.
💩 Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemns the strikes: Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned last night’s Israeli strikes against Hezbollah and Hamas targets in southern Lebanon and the Beqaa Valley. He claimed the strikes were aimed at thwarting efforts to stop the ongoing escalation.
Aoun said the timing of the strikes, ahead of tomorrow’s ceasefire mechanism meeting, raises many question marks, especially in light of “the responsiveness that Lebanon has shown” in disarming Hezbollah.
⚠️ Administrative enforcement in Judea and Samaria: Following a directive from the political echelon and joint staff work by the IDF, Israel’s internal security service (Shin Bet), Israel Police, the Ministry of Justice, and the Judea and Samaria Legal Department, Central Command Commander MG Avi Bluth signed an order authorizing technological monitoring to enforce movement restriction orders.
The order permits installing a monitoring device on individuals under administrative movement restrictions within Judea and Samaria and monitoring for violations.
Authorities emphasized that violating the order or damaging a monitoring device constitutes a criminal offense and may lead to legal proceedings.
🎯 Gaza security incident: Earlier yesterday, IDF troops operating in the southern Gaza Strip identified a terrorist who crossed the Yellow Line and approached the forces, posing an immediate threat. The Israel Air Force eliminated the terrorist to remove the threat.
❗️ Severe operational injuries: Earlier yesterday, an IDF soldier was severely injured in an operational accident at an IDF base in northern Israel. The soldier was evacuated for medical treatment, and the family was notified.
In a separate incident yesterday, a soldier from the Golani Brigade’s 13th Battalion was severely injured in an operational accident in the southern Gaza Strip.
The soldier was evacuated to a hospital for medical treatment, and the family was notified.

⚠️ IRAN FACES SUSTAINED PROTESTS; U.S. MAINTAINS CONTINUOUS STRAIT OF HORMUZ SURVEILLANCE WHILE ISRAEL ENFORCES TARGETED STRIKES ON HEZBOLLAH WEAPONS IN LEBANON
🕑 January 6, 2026 | 12:15 PM
🪧 Protests and clashes Protests continue across Iran, with clashes reported between demonstrators and security forces. In Tehran’s Narmak neighborhood, protesters chanted, “Our enemy is right here; they lie that it is America.” In Sari, Mazandaran Province, a group of protesters attacked a police car during unrest. Pro-government rallies Large pro-government rallies were also held in Qom. Participants chanted “Death to Israel.”
💹 Economic measures Iran announced monthly payments of about $7, equivalent to 1 million tomans, as protests grow amid an economic crisis. The program is set to begin with four months of payments paid upfront and is intended to offset subsidy cuts and high inflation.
🆘 The United States is considering intervention related to the ongoing protests in Iran, amid reports of heavy movement out of RAF Mildenhall in the United Kingdom.
🇮🇱 Israel is assessing whether the removal of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro could make action against the Iranian government possible. Prime Minister Netanyahu conveyed messages to Iran through Russian President Vladimir Putin, stating that Israel does not intend to launch an attack.
⚠️ Concerns remain in Israel that a miscalculation by Iran could prompt it to strike first out of fear of a preemptive Israeli attack. Separately, the United States has continued nonstop monitoring of the Strait of Hormuz for a fourth consecutive day, with a U.S. Navy P-8A Poseidon currently operating over the strait.
👀 Messages conveyed to Lebanon: Lebanon has received reassurances from Western capitals and U.S. circles that if Israel decides to continue military action against Hezbollah, it will avoid targeting Lebanese state institutions, provided those institutions do not intervene on Hezbollah’s behalf. The messages state that Lebanese civilians would be provided with safe corridors to leave areas under Hezbollah control and move freely to safer locations during any escalation.
The anticipated campaign is described as more targeted than current actions, including airstrikes and limited ground landings aimed at weapons depots and sites not yet hit from the air. The report says this would not involve a large-scale ground invasion or widespread destruction.
Israel’s stated priority is the destruction of Hezbollah weapons production facilities, particularly those producing drones and precision-guided missiles, followed by strikes on the group’s military infrastructure.
Lebanon also received an indirect message that if Hezbollah were to hand over its precision missiles and drones, this could help prevent war. Hezbollah has rejected the proposal, increasing the likelihood of escalation in the near term.

🛡️ ISRAEL FORMALIZES TIES WITH SOMALILAND AS FOREIGN MINISTER GIDEON SA’AR VISITS FOLLOWING RECOGNITION, WHILE DEFENSE MINISTRY LAUNCHES SHIKUM.ME TO STREAMLINE REHABILITATION CARE FOR WOUNDED AND TRAUMA PATIENTS
🕑 January 6, 2026 | 3:30 PM
🤝 Diplomatic Visit and Meetings: Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar arrived in Hargeisa, Somaliland, for an official visit and is set to meet President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi. The trip marks the first official visit by a senior Israeli official since Israel recognized Somaliland’s independence on December 26, 2025.
Somaliland is a self-declared state whose independence is not widely recognized internationally. Officials described the visit as diplomatically significant and as signaling a new phase in ties between Jerusalem and the Horn of Africa.
The visit includes a tour of the port of Berbera, a strategically located Red Sea port near Yemen that Israel views as increasingly important for regional and maritime security. Sa’ar is also expected to meet senior officials during the visit.
Israeli security officials highlighted the strategic implications of the recognition, with a Mossad representative briefing the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that the move carries “significant security implications.” Foreign Ministry Director-General Eden Bar Tal said the decision reflects Israel’s broader effort to build regional alliances, adding that Israel is increasingly regarded as a strong regional actor.
🆘 Shikum.Me App Launch: The Rehabilitation Division of the Israeli Ministry of Defense has launched Shikum.Me, a mobile app designed to simplify access to alternative therapies and sports activities for injured individuals coping with PTSD, mental health injuries, or head injuries.
Eligible patients can use their ₪6,000 annual treatment entitlement through a digital wallet in the app. Payments are made directly to therapists and sports centers via mobile phone, without upfront payment, receipt submission, or reimbursement waiting periods.
The service operates through a nationwide network of more than 5,000 providers. Shikum.Me includes complementary therapies such as acupuncture, massage, yoga, and music therapy, along with sports and outdoor activities including gyms, surfing, sailing, and running groups.
Users can view provider availability, see service ratings, and track their remaining balance in real time. Starting January 2026, eligible patients will receive 72,000 digital coins in the app, equivalent to ₪6,000 annually.
Patients whose current therapists join the platform will continue receiving the same treatments at the same prices. A three-month transition period will run until March 31, 2026, during which patients may still submit receipts for complementary treatments while completing the shift to the app or while therapists register.
For more details, the full list of therapists, and to download the app, visit the Rehabilitation Division website or search for Shikum.Me in the app stores.

🇮🇱 NETANYAHU DELIVERS RARE PUBLIC DETERRENCE WARNING TO IRAN AMID MISCALCULATION RISKS AS IDF ADDRESSES STATE COMPTROLLER FINDINGS ON NATIONAL EMERGENCY READINESS
🕑 January 6, 2026 | 6:00 PM
⚠️ Unusual public threat amid heightened sensitivity to miscalculation: The recent threat issued by Prime Minister Netanyahu toward Iran was described as unusually harsh and uncharacteristic, with concern that public statements of this kind, especially from the Knesset, can be read as signaling imminent military action even when no attack is intended.
Recent months have been marked by concern that Iran could misinterpret Israeli signals, assume a strike is imminent, and respond preemptively, potentially pulling the region into a wider war. Explicit threats are often avoided in this environment because they can accelerate escalation driven by perception rather than intent.
A recently promoted press conference by Naftali Bennett, focused on soldiers’ conditions, drew major attention due to its timing and his profile. In Iran, it fueled speculation that Israel was preparing to attack, underscoring how quickly internal Israeli events can shape regional threat perceptions.
The concern described is not miscalculation alone, but regime survival, with the assessment that if Iran’s leadership believes the regime is nearing collapse, it could view an attack on Israel as a unifying move through a “rally around the flag” effect. In this framing, Netanyahu’s message is intended to warn that such an attack would not stabilize the regime, but instead hasten its downfall, and was delivered following a security discussion as deterrence, not escalation.
❗️ Khamenei rejects Israeli messaging and cites Iranian strength: Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei wrote on X that he does not trust messages claiming Israel does not intend to attack Iran. "What makes the enemy first request a ceasefire during [12-Day] war with the Iranian nation, then send messages saying he doesn't want to fight us? Of course, the malicious enemy is a deceiving liar & we don't trust them. But what causes this is the power of the Iranian nation."
🏨 The IDF responded to findings by the State Comptroller of Israel on national emergency preparedness, covering civilian protection, hospitals, local authorities, and the education system. The IDF said it views the reports as an important tool for strengthening readiness.
The IDF emphasized that responsibility for civilian protection, particularly in hospitals and public infrastructure, is shared among government ministries, local authorities, and facility operators. It said the IDF, primarily through the Home Front Command, provides professional guidance, coordination, inspections, and enforcement support.
The military reported ongoing cooperation with municipalities to address preparedness gaps through training, oversight, and enforcement of civil defense regulations. It also said corrective actions are being implemented in the education system, including improving protected spaces and updating emergency procedures.
The IDF stated that lessons from the Comptroller’s reports are being incorporated into planning and coordination. It reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening civilian protection and emergency preparedness nationwide.

❌ WIDESPREAD ANTI-REGIME PROTESTS REPORTED IN WESTERN IRAN; ISRAEL AND SYRIA RENEW POLITICAL DIALOGUE WITH U.S. BACKING; JERUSALEM DRAFT PROTEST TURNS DEADLY
🕑 January 6, 2026 | 9:30 PM
🪧 Iran: Multiple eyewitness reports described large-scale protests across the city overnight, with visual confirmations cited. Local regime forces were reported to have disengaged from the crowds, and some personnel were seen waving and signaling support.
Clashes were reported overnight between protesters and regime forces. The situation was described as unusual and still developing.
The reports described protesters taking control of the local police station after security forces fled the city. This was presented as a significant escalation in the local confrontation.
Eyewitness descriptions said the Grand Bazaar turned into a “war zone” as protesters erected barricades. The barricades were described as an effort to push back against suppression units.
The situation was characterized as a “revolutionary mood,” with claims that protesters are seeking regime change. The report also stated that a major external shock to the regime’s foundations, such as the elimination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, could collapse the system.
🇮🇱 The Prime Minister’s Office said political dialogue between Israel and Syria has been renewed after several months, with American backing and support.
The dialogue took place as part of President Trump’s vision to promote peace in the Middle East. Israel emphasized the need to ensure the security of its citizens and to prevent threats along its borders.
Israel reiterated its commitment to promoting regional stability and security, and said economic cooperation should be advanced for the benefit of both countries.
It was agreed to continue the dialogue to advance shared goals and to safeguard the security of the Druze minority in Syria.
❌ Jerusalem protest turns deadly: Crowds were in the streets of Jerusalem this evening protesting the draft. A team from the Broadcasting Corporation, including reserve soldier and reporter Chaim Golditch, was violently attacked during the demonstration. Nearby, a bus ran over a protester. The protester was killed.
Israel Police are responding to a violent disturbance in Jerusalem, where a small group of rioters threw objects and eggs at officers, set trash bins on fire, blocked roads, damaged buses, and assaulted journalists.
The violence erupted alongside an evening protest rally on Bar-Ilan and Tzefania Streets and nearby areas. Police, Border Police, and additional units were deployed to allow lawful protest activity while protecting public safety and traffic.
During the unrest, a bus passing through the area apparently struck several participants, causing injuries. The incident is under investigation, and the bus driver was arrested for questioning. Separately, journalists at the scene were injured by a stone and taken for medical treatment.
After repeated loudspeaker orders to disperse were ignored, police used crowd-control measures to push back rioters and restore order. Operations are ongoing to stabilize the area and restore calm.

⚠️ HOME FRONT COMMAND URGES IMMEDIATE MUNICIPAL EMERGENCY READINESS AS JERUSALEM BUS RAMMING IS RULED NON-TERROR, IDF DISPERSES INCITEMENT NEAR BIRZEIT AND ELIMINATES TWO HEZBOLLAH OPERATIVES IN SOUTHERN LEBANON
🕑 January 6, 2026 | 9:45 PM
⚠️ Homefront Command issues emergency preparedness warning: Channel 13 News reports that the commander of the Homefront Command convened a special meeting with city mayors and heads of regional and local councils across Israel. They were warned to prepare for any possible and immediate transition to a state of emergency.
🚍 Jerusalem protest incident ruled not terror: Footage shows ultra-Orthodox extremists blocking a bus and spitting on it for several minutes. At a certain point, the bus suddenly accelerated, and one protester was run over. The suspicion of a terror attack has been ruled out. A second ultra-Orthodox rally in Jerusalem ended in tragedy.
❌ Forces disperse gathering near Birzeit University, later face violent confrontation: In recent days, intelligence indications were received of an anticipated gathering in support of terror and incitement to terror expected to take place today in the area of Birzeit University in Judea and Samaria. At the beginning of the gathering, IDF and Israel Border Police forces were dispatched to the area of the university, used riot dispersal means, and dispersed the gathering.
Later, an additional violent confrontation broke out involving hundreds of suspects. Rocks were hurled from rooftops toward the forces, posing an immediate threat. The forces responded with riot dispersal means and precise fire toward the main violent individuals. The IDF stated it will continue to operate against terrorism and will not tolerate any incitement to terror against Israeli civilians.
🎯 IDF eliminates two Hezbollah operatives in southern Lebanon: The IDF confirmed that earlier today it struck and eliminated two Hezbollah terrorists in the area of Kherbet Selem in southern Lebanon. The two terrorists took part in attempts to reestablish Hezbollah military infrastructure.

🛡️ ISRAEL SIGNALS HOME FRONT PREPAREDNESS AS IDF READIES POSSIBLE HEZBOLLAH OPERATIONS, U.S. PROPOSES SYRIA SECURITY MECHANISM, AND IRAN EXECUTES ALLEGED MOSSAD SPY
🕑 January 7, 2026 | 9:00 AM
🛡️ HOME FRONT PREPAREDNESS AND CIVIL–MILITARY COORDINATION: The “Leaders on the Home Front” conference brought together Defense Minister Israel Katz, IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, the commander of the Home Front Command, heads of local authorities, senior defense officials, and emergency organizations to strengthen coordination ahead of future emergencies. The Chief of Staff said Israel’s strength depends not only on military power but on a functioning civilian home front, calling local authorities a foundational element of national defense.
He said the IDF is developing a new strategic concept focused on preparedness and surprise, drawing lessons from recent events, and that it operates from positions of control while acting offensively to prevent emerging threats to civilians. Referring to visits to impact sites during Operation “With the Strength of a Lion,” he highlighted close cooperation between local authorities and Home Front Command forces and said their work creates operational calm that enables IDF action where needed. The Home Front Command commander said Israel’s home front is among the strongest in the world and that continued preparedness, coordination, and joint action are essential to saving lives.
⚠️ IDF PREPARATIONS REGARDING HEZBOLLAH: A new intelligence update says Israeli strikes are expected to intensify north of the Litani River, well beyond the border, with strong and sustained attacks planned over the coming months against new Hezbollah facilities. The IDF estimates that if not for developments in Iran, a prepared attack plan against Hezbollah would already have been carried out.
Prime Minister Netanyahu has received approval from U.S. President Trump, and the IDF says preparations are complete. The military says it is awaiting a decision from the political leadership and is fully prepared for any large-scale operation.
❗️ IRAN: EXECUTION AND PROTEST ACTIVITY: Iran has executed Ali Ardestani, who was accused of spying for the Israeli intelligence service Mossad. Iranian authorities said he met individuals inside Iran through Mossad operatives, transferred collected information along with photos and videos, received new missions, and was paid in digital currency after each mission.
Additional reports say protesters in Abdanan are removing government banners, statues, and symbols.
⚠️ Iranian officials are increasingly questioning whether an operation similar to the one the United States carried out against Venezuelan President Maduro could also be conducted against Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Khamenei.
Amir Hatami, Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Army, said: “Iran considers the enemies' intensified rhetoric against it a threat and will not let it continue without a response”.
🔸 U.S. PROPOSAL ON SOUTHERN SYRIA: The United States has proposed that Israel and Syria establish a joint American-Israeli-Syrian command center in Amman, Jordan. The framework is intended to address the security situation in southern Syria and the withdrawal of IDF forces, and to serve as a basis for negotiations on the demilitarization of the area.
Each side would send representatives, with the center handling diplomatic talks, military matters, intelligence coordination, and commercial relations.

🎯 IDF STRIKES HEZBOLLAH OPERATIVE IN SOUTHERN LEBANON AS JERUSALEM BUS RAMMING INVESTIGATION EVOLVES, LEADERS URGE CALM, AND SEARCH RESUMES FOR HOSTAGE RAN GVILY
🕑 January 7, 2026 | 3:00 PM
💥 Southern Lebanon: In response to Hezbollah’s continued violations of the ceasefire understandings, the IDF struck a Hezbollah terrorist in the area of Jouaiyya in southern Lebanon.
🚔 Jerusalem Bus Ramming: Police clarified that the intersection was open to vehicle traffic and was not an area deliberately blocked by police. Rioters obstructed the road, blocked the bus, and posed a serious danger to road users.
Police initially attributed to the bus driver the offenses of aggravated murder and reckless driving and said they would request a 15-day extension of his detention. Later, police changed direction, dropped the aggravated murder charge, and extended the driver’s detention by nine days.
🇮🇱 National Leadership Statements: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said: “The circumstances of the tragic disaster will be thoroughly investigated; at the same time, I call to prevent tempers from flaring so that we won’t, heaven forbid, experience additional disasters.”
Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir said: “My heart bleeds following the killing of 14-year-old Yosef Eisental this evening, as a result of being run over by a bus driver in Jerusalem. I share in his family’s deep sorrow at this difficult time. This is a serious incident that must be investigated thoroughly and comprehensively. The police have updated me that all lines of inquiry regarding the event are being examined and that they are treating it with the utmost gravity.”
⚖️ Political Response on Law Enforcement: MK Simcha Rothman, Chairman of the Constitution Committee, said Israel has endured three years of escalating lawlessness, which he attributes to failures by law enforcement and an adversarial legal system under Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara. He said illegal road blockages have become normalized, enforcement has eroded, and demonstrators have blocked the Knesset and harassed public officials and journalists.
Rothman linked this environment to fatal outcomes, citing the death of Yosef Eisental as part of a broader chain and referencing earlier deaths including Muhammad Azam and Sergeant Denis Shavtsov, who were killed while clearing Route 1. While calling for a full investigation of the driver, he argued the broader system bears responsibility and called for zero tolerance for criminal road blockages regardless of political cause, while stressing that freedom of movement and personal safety are fundamental.
❌ Violence in the Arab Sector: Four people were murdered tonight in the Arab sector, bringing the total to 11 in the first week of 2026. The killings were reported in Jerusalem, the Negev, and the Galilee and were described as a loss of governance.
🎗️ Hostage Search: In coordination with Israel, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the Red Cross are resuming today the search for Ran Gvily in the Zeitoun area.

💣 ISRAEL EXPANDS EASTERN BORDER SECURITY BARRIER WITH CONTROLLED DESTRUCTION OF JORDAN BORDER MINEFIELDS
🕑 January 7, 2026 | 4:00 PM
💣 Eastern Border Security Barrier Expansion: The Ministry of Defense has expanded work on the eastern border security barrier, with the Mine and UXO Clearance Authority beginning controlled destruction of minefields along the border with Jordan. In a recent operation, three minefields were neutralized, eliminating approximately 500 old anti-tank mines that had been laid in the area since the late 1960s.
Mine clearance is being carried out alongside ongoing construction by the Ministry of Defense’s Border and Seamline Administration. The overall project is estimated to cost about NIS 5.5 billion and includes a multi-layered security system spanning roughly 500 kilometers, from the southern Golan Heights to the Samar Sands north of Eilat. It is described as a central element of the Ministry of Defense’s strategy to strengthen national security and strategic control along the eastern border, and is part of a renewed security concept developed by the IDF and Central Command that includes establishing a new regional division responsible for security in the Jordan Valley, surrounding valleys, and the Dead Sea area.

🚔 NETANYAHU LAUNCHES POLICE-LED SECURITY OPERATION TO RESTORE GOVERNANCE IN THE NEGEV AS GOVERNMENT ADVANCES LAW ENFORCEMENT AND LEGISLATIVE MEASURES
🕑 January 7, 2026 | 7:00 PM
🇮🇱 NEGEV SECURITY AND GOVERNANCE INITIATIVE: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that during today’s visit to the Negev, alongside the ministers of national security and defense, senior IDF leadership, the Police Commissioner, the head of the Shin Bet, and government representatives, the government’s objective is to restore the Negev to the State of Israel. He said the effort includes large-scale settlement, the regulation of Bedouin communities, and above all the restoration of law and order.
Netanyahu warned that the Negev is currently out of control and said Israel has begun a police-led operation coordinated with additional security forces to rein in the situation. He said criminal and security threats are increasingly merging, citing tens of thousands of illegal weapons, cross-border drone activity, and other emerging dangers.
He stated that the government will advance a comprehensive national project to address these challenges, with restoring governance in the Negev as the top priority. Netanyahu thanked the security leadership and ministers for committing to the mission, calling it a national task of the highest importance and his first prime-ministerial visit dedicated to this goal, which he said will be followed by additional visits.
⚡POLITICAL STATEMENT: MK Ayman Odeh calls on Kan: The Arab society in Israel must launch a civil revolt.
⚖️ LEGISLATIVE DEVELOPMENT: The Ministerial Committee for Legislation approved advancing to a first reading a bill to remove the Police Internal Investigations Department (Machash) from the State Attorney’s Office.

⚠️ IRAN FACES WIDESPREAD PROTESTS, SECURITY FORCE CASUALTIES, MISSILE DETERRENCE WARNINGS, FOREIGN MILITIA DEPLOYMENT, AND INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL EVACUATIONS
🪧 Nationwide protests and deadly clashes: Protests were reported in Bandar Abbas, Gilan-e Gharb in Kermanshah Province, and Borujerd in Lorestan Province. Demonstrators chanted slogans including “This is the last battle, Pahlavi will return,” “This year is the year Seyyed Ali [Khamenei] will be overthrown,” and “Death to the dictator.”
In Lordegan, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, two Iranian security personnel were killed during clashes with protesters. Reports indicate that some protesters were armed with military and hunting weapons and opened fire on police forces.
🚀 Missile program emphasized as primary deterrence tool: Iran is increasingly presenting its ballistic missile program as the central pillar of deterrence amid sustained domestic unrest and heightened tensions with the United States and Israel. Iranian officials signal that missile capabilities, rather than diplomacy or overt nuclear escalation, are now the primary tool for projecting resolve under pressure.
This posture was reinforced by a statement from Iran’s Defense Council, formed after the June war with Israel, warning that Iran may act before an attack if it detects “tangible signs of a threat.” Iranian officials say they do not seek immediate war but stress readiness, and a senior parliamentarian stated that preemptive action remains an option if commanders deem it necessary.
Unconfirmed reports since late December describe missile activity over multiple Iranian cities. Iranian media commentary suggests this reflects a strategic shift toward restoring and demonstrating missile capabilities while keeping the nuclear program in the background. State-aligned outlets report that recent missile and air-defense drills were designed to test coordination between the IRGC, the regular army, and air-defense units, while signaling deterrence toward Israel and the United States. Iranian media also acknowledge that this missile-centric approach is unlikely to reduce tensions.
⚠️ Army chief warns: Iran’s army chief warned the United States and Israel against interfering in domestic protests, according to Iranian state media. Major General Amir Hatami said foreign rhetoric and intervention would be treated as hostile behavior and warned that Iran’s armed forces are more prepared than before the recent 12-day conflict, adding that any mistake by an adversary would draw a stronger response. “They interfere in our internal affairs by tweeting and speaking. They have been our enemies throughout history,” Hatami said.
Amir Hatami, Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Army: “Protests are a normal and natural matter in any country, but what is abnormal and unconventional is the rapid transformation of protests into riots in a very short time. This is uncharacteristic of the cultured Iranian nation and is undoubtedly planned by enemies”.
❌ Iraqi militias reportedly deployed: According to information received by Iran International, Iranian-backed Iraqi militias began recruiting fighters four days ago to assist Iranian forces in suppressing protests. Around 800 Iraqi Shiite militiamen have reportedly been deployed, almost all of them members of Kataib Hezbollah, Harakat al-Nujaba, Sayyid al-Shuhada, and the Badr Organization.
The information indicates that Iraqi government officials are aware of the mobilization. The transfer of these fighters is said to be taking place through the Shalamcheh, Chazabeh, and Khosravi border crossings under the cover of “pilgrimage trips to the holy shrine of Imam Reza in Mashhad.” The fighters reportedly gather at a base linked to Khamenei in Ahvaz before being dispatched to various regions to take part in the violent crackdown on demonstrations.
▪️ Australia issues: Australia updated its travel advisory for Iran on January 7, 2026, to “Do Not Travel.” Australians are urged to leave immediately as embassy operations are suspended and consular support is extremely limited.
