This week, based on intelligence gathered by the Southern Command, an IAF aircraft eliminated and neutralized Yussef Rafik Ahmed Shabat, a key figure responsible for investigations within Hamas' Internal Security Department in Beit Hanoun. Shabat, who served as a security officer in Hamas' military intelligence wing, was eliminated, dealing a significant blow to the terrorist organization's investigative capabilities.

Additionally, acting on precise intelligence, IDF and ISA conducted an airstrike on a vehicle carrying 10 terrorists.

Yesterday, IAF fighter jets struck a mortar shell launcher in Rimal, which had been used to launch attacks on IDF troops in the area.

Furthermore, over the past day, the IAF struck numerous terror sites across Gaza, including terrorists, observation posts, military structures, and other terrorist infrastructure.

❗️EL AL PASSENGERS STUCK IN DUBAI.. Due to flooding in Dubai, many flights cancelled and Israelis stuck. El Al is issuing a rescue flight that will take off at 3:00 PM from Israel and return to Israel at 9:00 PM to help them out.

⚠️ HMM, 2 ARTILLERY SHELL PLANTS SUFFER “ACCIDENTS”.. 155mm artillery shells are a mainstay of Ukraine and Israel in their current wars. Scranton Army Ammunition Plant in PA, USA, suffered a fire 2 days ago. Production halted. BAE Systems in Wales, UK, suffered an explosion yesterday. Production halted. Investigations and recovery in progress. (( Hmm. ))

⚠️ IRAN TELLS THE U.S. .. Iranian Foreign Minister Amir Abdallahian: We informed Washington that we will not attack their interests in the region unless it continues to support Israel. (( Iran is now so pumped up from the lack of Israeli response they are now telling the U.S. what to do. ))

⚠️ IRAN SPY SHIP IN RED SEA.. returns to port, possible concerns it could have been an Israeli target.

▪️BIDEN: “I MADE IT CLEAR TO THE ISRAELIS - DON’T MOVE ON HAIFA!” .. (( besides the humor of the US president mistaking Haifa for Rafah, Gaza, the US president is literally standing there saying “let your citizens (including a number of Americans) be tortured and raped to death, held in dungeons and starved, because I care more about the attackers than about your ability to recovery your people and create deterrence so that such things don’t happen again.” ))

▪️PRISON INVESTIGATION - WHY AREN’T THE OCT. 7 MASS MURDERERS GETTING FRESH FRUIT? AND TOO MUCH PROCESSED MEAT? Info demanded by Deputy Attorney General Sharon Afek and Head of the High Court of Justice Department Aner Helman from National Security Minister MK Ben-Gvir and the Israel Prison Service regarding the food provided to security prisoners, including the Nukhba terrorists who participated in the Oct. 7 attack:

1. explain why fresh fruit was removed from the menu contrary to the recommendations of dietitians, which might harm their long term health per the Prisons Ordinance.

2. why sausages are served to the terrorists twice a week – and not less frequently, since they are considered processed, and therefore less healthy, food.

3. why security prisoners do not have "food stations" similar to those in criminal wards, to supplement the nutritional requirements.

(( Are we out of our minds? Literal genocidal mass murderers should have preferred dietician recommended menus? ))

FALSE AIRCRAFT INFILTRATION AND IDF STRIKES ON HEZBOLLAH COMPOUND

Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago concerning a hostile aircraft infiltration into the Western Galilee, it was determined to have been a false identification. Additionally, a launch was identified crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory. No hits were identified.

Earlier today, IDF soldiers identified several Hezbollah terrorists via a drone. The terrorists operated in a military compound in the area of Blida in southern Lebanon. Upon the identification of the terrorists, IAF fighter jets struck the compound from which they operated.

❗️HEZBOLLAH TAKES OUT.. an ELM-2084 radar unit on Mt. Meron with an anti-tank missile, per video they provided. Noting this radar is used for the Iron Dome, though unclear if that was the use in this case. There are some suggestions that the unit was a fake, to draw fire.

❓THINGS ARE GETTING MORE BIZARRE.. Israel informed Lebanon through a third party (France) that it would respond strongly to the Hezbullah attack in Arab al-Armasha, in which 18 soldiers were injured. (( maybe take out a Facebook ad targeting browsers in South Lebanon? Or make a TikTok video dance ‘we’re going to attack, da da, going to attack, da da’? ))

❓PROTESTORS FOR UNREALITY.. "Deal Now" demonstrators at the Begin Gate to IDF HQ. Additionally (some few) families of hostages are marching for the hostages towards the Histadrut (labor union) building. (( The only available deal is ‘submit yourself for torture, rape, and murder’. Are they volunteering? Or simply refuse to believe the people who murdered over 1,000 won’t do it again when they say they will? Can I get some of what they are drinking? ))

PM NETANYAHU TO THE MOSSAD DIVISION HEADS FORUM

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Mossad headquarters where he met with Director David Barnea and Mossad division heads. They discussed regional developments in the various sectors.

They discussed regional developments in the various sectors. The Prime Minister and the Mossad Director also referred to the continuing efforts – and the importance of doing everything possible – to return the hostages back home as soon as possible.

Prime Minister Netanyahu then visited the ISA headquarters where he held working meetings with ISA Director Ronen Bar and later met with the senior management forum chaired by Director Bar, his deputy and additional senior officials.

Prime Minister Netanyahu thanked the Mossad and the ISA for their role in defending the security of the state, especially the extensive operational and intelligence activity of the organizations since October 7.

Prime Minister Netanyahu to the Mossad division heads forum:

"This holiday is different because 'they have risen up to destroy us.' This is very tangible, by the axis of evil of Iran and its proxies, including Hamas.

And on the other hand, 'from slavery to redemption'. This is very tangible when we still have hostages being held in the monsters' dungeons in Gaza.

We are also committed to defeating the terrorist axis in Gaza, to freeing the hostages and to repelling the threat including that from Iran.

These are very major tasks that require two things. The first thing that it requires is determination and the second is unity.

US VETOES UNSC RESOLUTION TO CREATE A PALESTINIAN STATE

Israel's Minister of foreign affairs, Israel Katz:

"The proposal to recognize a Palestinian state, half a year after the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust and after the sex crimes and crimes against humanity committed by Hamas terrorists is a reward for terrorism.

I congratulate the US for vetoing this twisted proposal that was rejected today by the UN Security Council.

It is outrageous that even half a year after the massacre of October 7, the Security Council failed to condemn the terrible crimes of Hamas.

There will be no prizes for terrorism. Israel will continue to fight until the fall of Hamas and the release of all 133 Israeli abductees."

🔴 ISRAEL STINGS IRAN.. Washington Post: A senior Israeli official confirms that Israel is the one that attacked Iran and says that this is a signal that Israel has the capabilities to attack inside Iran.

Iran: Unclear who attacked, drones from INSIDE the country - proxy attack. Iranian military officials downplay the early morning attack in their country to the point of ridiculousness.

Hamas calls on the Israeli Arabs to go up to the Temple Mount from today and stay there until Monday (the eve of Passover) in order to protect the Al-Aqsa Mosque and prevent the Jews from making Passover sacrifices there. (( Why are the Arabs freaked out that the Jews might perform the biblical Passover service? ))

▪️NETANYAHU CASE 1000 FALLING APART.. (Amit Regal) Judges became angry as the chief investigator testified that he had few facts and mostly relied on “the looks in their eyes”. Judge: “You hear that it's only 3-4 times a year, but you look him in the eye and know the answer (is much more with no evidence)?”. Investigator: "You don't need numbers, I looked him in the eyes."

The Director General of the Prime Minister's Office, Yossi Sheli, submitted to the Finance Committee a revised report after mistakes were made in the previous report he submitted (accidentally?) - the refreshment and food expenses, for example, were only NIS 188 compared to NIS 12,000 in the previous report.

🔅Shabbat Times here -> https://www.myzmanim.com/search.aspx

⚠️RISK - WHOLE COUNTRY - MEDIUM-HIGH due to possibility of retaliatory attacks by Iran or their proxies, and such attacks may be large if they occur. Precautions REQUIRED, know your shelter options at synagogue, school, work and home - and at the store or mall or what actions to take if out in the open, at the beach or park.

❗️Don’t panic, however some preparations would be wise. Home Front Command -> https://www.oref.org.il/12490-15903-en/pakar.aspx (link only works in Israel)

➡️ MAMAD LIGHTS ON… leave the lights on, on Shabbat, so if there is an alert you don’t have to turn them on.

➡️ TAKE A PHONE WITH YOU… when sheltering or leave one on in the shelter. If you must call for help, have a way to do so quickly.

➡️ LEAVE ON AN ALERT METHOD… Leave on silent channel or stream on computer or phone, or alert app.

❗️DUE TO GPS JAMMING, alert apps must be set to specific city instead of ‘current location’.

➡️ SAFE TO GO TO SYNAGOGUE? - Follow instructions of Homefront Command and your City!
— HIGH Risk - only go to a synagogue that has, or preferably is in, a shelter. Otherwise pray at home.
— MEDIUM Risk - best to only go to a synagogue that has or is near a shelter. Where is it? Have a ‘when there is a siren’ plan in mind.
— LOW Risk - there will possibly be sirens, what’s your plan? Have one or choose another synagogue.

➡️ PLAN YOUR SHELTER PATH TO/FROM SYNAGOGUE - If an alert goes off en route, where will you go to be protected if on the way?

➡️ IN SYNAGOGUE, WHERE IS THE SHELTER? Does it have capacity? - If an alert goes off in synagogue, KNOW where you will go. Walk over and check the path and capacity.

➡️ ARE YOU SLOW? - In High Risk areas, stay home. Medium and Low risk, have a plan if there is a siren.

➡️ CHILDREN? Discuss with your children what to do in case there is a siren. Leave young children at home in High risk areas.

➡️ CARRY YOUR WEAPON.
— If you have a gun license, it is a MITZVAH to carry your gun on Shabbat, even without an eruv.
— Try to have AT LEAST one armed person in every synagogue.
— Have Pepper spray? Or a Knife (small size, approx. width of palm, as allowed by law)? Carry it - we all remain at risk of terror attacks. (Note pepper spray, knives etc will not be allowed to enter govt offices, hospitals, malls or any security controlled site, and your workplace may require you to register.)

➡️ IF SIRENS, SHELTER EVEN IF IN AMIDAH
— If sirens are heard in the middle of the Amidah, one must go to the shelter. After, restart Amidah from the beginning (others rule to start from where you stopped).
— Can’t get to shelter, LAY DOWN, all the way, hands on head (reduces risk by 80%).
— As per Homefront Command, wait AT LEAST 5 minutes (Homefront says 10) before exiting shelter or getting up.

➡️ HAVE A PHONE AVAILABLE
— Every synagogue needs a PHONE ON for immediate use on Shabbat. And with a red alert app in case it is hard to hear sirens.
— You may carry and keep a cell phone on in your pocket. Set to silent, and set red alert apps to “override silent mode”.

➡️ DO NOT HESITATE TO CALL POLICE !! - If anything suspicious, CALL POLICE immediately! Dial 100

➡️ ALL INSTRUCTIONS FROM HOME FRONT COMMAND and your City must be strictly obeyed. If instructed to shut yourself in, do not leave the house even for prayer.

It is a mitzvah to take actions to protect and save and preserve life on Shabbat, not a violation. But ONLY actions which do so.

🔴 ISRAEL STINGS IRAN, UPDATES.. Officially Israel did not take responsibility for the attack this morning. Various Iranian sources claim that the attack is being examined by experts and that is what will determine what happens next.

On open source information, analysts believe jets took off from northern Israel, headed over the Golan Heights, bombed radar sites in Syria and Iraq, and fired cruise missiles while over Iraq that hit the air base in Iran. This does not align with other reports that drones were used and launched from inside Iran. Both are possible, or one could have been a diversion for the other.

▪️HOW’S THAT “RELEASE TERRORISTS” WORKING OUT FOR YA? an operative of the military wing of Hamas from Hebron, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for mass murder and deported to the Gaza Strip as part of the Gilad Shalit deal, was killed in an Israeli attack in Gaza.

▪️US SEC STATE BLINKEN SAYS.. “The world needs to know that the only thing thats standing between the Gazans and a ceasefire is Hamas. They rejected generous offers from Israel.” (( major loud shift in U.S. attitude towards Israel continues - we wonder what happened? ))

▪️OH THE BALANCE, MUST SHOW “BALANCE”.. The Biden administration is expected to impose a third round of sanctions today against “settlers” who are involved in attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank. Sanctions will be imposed on some “settlers” and on some organizations that help raise funds for illegal outposts. They are on the founder of the Lahava organization Bentzi Gofstein. The US also imposed sanctions on two entities: "The Mount Hebron Foundation" and "Shalom Esireich"

American officials said that they are very concerned about the events in the West Bank in the last few days in which several Palestinians were killed during Israeli resident’s attacks on West Bank villages before and after the body of the boy Binyamin Ahimeir who was murdered by Palestinians was found.

The European Union also announced sanctions against “extremist settlers” against the background of violating the human rights of Palestinians in the West Bank. The European Union has imposed sanctions on the Lahava organization and four "extremist" settlers for "a serious violation of the human rights of the Palestinians”.

▪️GOT ONE.. Verified: commander and one of the founders of the Tulkarm Battalion in the Islamic Jihad, was killed along with several of his colleagues in IDF counter-terror operations in Tulkarm / Noor al-Shams.

▪️AIR TRAVEL.. The Polish airline "Lot" is canceling its flights today to Tel Aviv and Beirut.

⚠️RISK - WHOLE COUNTRY - MEDIUM-HIGH due to possibility of retaliatory attacks by Iran or their proxies, and such attacks may be large if they occur. Precautions REQUIRED, you MUST MONITOR for ALERTS.

❗️This is a LIFE and DEATH WAR - due to Pikuach Nefesh you MUST have a way to receive alerts on Shabbat! Here’s how…

SILENT CHANNELS - Radio & TV stations go “silent broadcast” for Shabbat, ONLY alerts.
No TV or Radio? STREAM IT on phone or computer.

➡️ SILENT TV - Channel 14 - stream https://www.now14.co.il/live/ (doesn’t work with adblocker)
➡️ SILENT RADIO -
• Kol Chai radio - on radio 92.8, 93 and 102.5. - stream https://www.93fm.co.il/radio/players/%d7%a9%d7%99%d7%93%d7%95%d7%a8-%d7%97%d7%99/
• Kol Barama Radio - on radio 92.1, 104.3, 105.7 and 107.6. - stream https://kol-barama.co.il/live/
• Galei Israel - on radio 89.3, 94 and 106.5. - https://www.rlive.co.il/station/galey-israel

➡️ ON COMPUTER - leave a computer open to https://www.oref.org.il/en (only in Israel) - alerts will display and sound on the screen. Turn OFF screen saver, sleep and hibernate so the computer doesn’t turn off.

➡️ VIA APP - leave on phone with red alert app. Set app to YOUR area so it only alerts for your area. We suggest Tzofar Red Alert or Homefront Command - available in Play Store and App Store. IF an alert goes off for your area CLICK THE PHONE TO VERIFY ALERT TYPE - to see if infiltration! Yes, on Shabbat - this is Pikuach Nefesh!

⁉️ ENGLISH SILENT CHANNEL - is there a silent channel in English? NO. But you can use Pikud HaOref ON SCREEN in English, see “ON COMPUTER” option above.

It is a mitzvah to take actions to protect and save and preserve life on Shabbat, not a violation. But ONLY actions which do so.

🔴 IRANIAN SHIITE MILITIAS OF IRAQ, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY, GET ATTACKED.. Shortly before 4 AM last night, the Shiite militias in Iraq announced that they had attacked a target in Eilat using a suicide drone.

An hour later, the HQ of Al-Hashd al-Shaabi in Iraq, the Iranian militia managing org, blew up. Located in the northern province of Babel in Iraq, south of the capital Baghdad. Huge secondary explosions indicate that a weapons warehouse was hit.

Israel did not take responsibility, but the U.S. said they didn’t do it. Hamas condemns (( the nasty Zionists responding to attacks, the nerve! ))

CNN: an Israeli source told CNN: Israel is not connected to the attacks in Iraq. (( Hmm. ))

⚠️ WARNINGS ON THE NORTH.. Peak vigilance in the northern sector: the security establishment assesses that Hezbollah is ramping up a much wider conflict, perhaps in the coming days.

▪️UPDATES ON THE ISRAEL STING OF IRAN IRAN.. Israeli fighter jets launched three stealth missiles at an air defense radar site near Isfahan in the overnight strike in Iran, ABC News reports, citing a US official. The radar site was part of the protection of Iran's Natanz nuclear facility. Another report states a Russian S-300 advanced air defense battery was what was hit, and satellite images show damage.

Fox News has a slightly different report: Israel attacked the air defense systems at this site, using missiles and UAVs. The attack proved that the Russian-made air defense systems in place do not work (against Israeli tech).

▪️COUNTER-TERROR BATTLE - NOOR AL-SHAMS.. The IDF has been carrying out a counter-terrorism operation in Nur Al Shams camp for more than 40 hours. Amid the raid near Tulkarem, at least 10 gunmen have been killed and eight wanted Palestinians have been detained. The troops also discovered and destroyed a bomb-making lab, and seized firearms, including assault rifles. 9 troops injured.

The commander of the Islamic Jihad battalion of Tulkarm was killed along with 4 terror operatives in the building where they were barricaded in the Nur Shams camp.

😢ILLEGAL PROTEST ON HIGHWAY 1 RESULTS IN 2 DEATHS.. Illegal protest on highway 1 places burning barrels in the road. After leaving, a volunteer policeman and an employee of the road authority moved into the highway to remove the barrels endangering all drivers — and were run over and killed as a driver didn’t see until the last moment, swerved and hit them.

(( More to come. ))

▪️CRAZY ISRAELI POLITICS.. (1) Former Prime Minister Olmert does not rule out a return to politics at the end of the seven-year no-politics-allowed period from the day of his conviction for bribery.

(2) Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert: "If other countries did not cooperate with us, we would have only intercepted 75% of the missiles from Iran.” (( One, likely not true, two, what kind of former prime minister shares information that strengthens your enemies? ))

▪️HAMAS LEAVING QATAR.. Following Qatar leadership's incessant anger and pressure on the leaders of Hamas regarding negotiations on the hostage deal, the Wall Street Journal reports the Hamas leadership is leaving its political headquarters in Qatar, for an unknown destination. One of the destinations that the group is considering is Oman. Another possibility is Turkey as the Hamas leader met with Turkey’s president today.

▪️AIR TRAVEL.. Polish Airline LOT restores flights to Israel.

▪️US TO SANCTION IDF NETZACH YEHUDA BATTALION??? The US Secretary of State will announce within days the imposition of sanctions against the Netzah Yehuda Battalion because of allegations of violence against Palestinians. The American sanctions will prohibit the transfer of American military aid to the battalion, prevent its soldiers and officers from taking part in training with the United States Army, or participating in activities that receive American funding. (Reporter Barak Ravid)

(( This is more bizarre “we show balance” activity from the administration - Netzach Yehuda’s normal duty station is Judea-Samaria, and right wing Israelis are screaming about the IDF treating the Palestinians with kid gloves. ))

▪️US FUNDING.. combined Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan funding bill passes US House, moving to US Senate but supported by president.
