🛡️ U.S. AND ISRAEL POSITION MILITARY ASSETS AND MAINTAIN HIGH READINESS AS DIPLOMACY STALLS AND PREPARATIONS ADVANCE FOR POTENTIAL STRIKES ON IRAN
🕑 January 18, 2026 | 9:00 PM
🔶 U.S.-IRAN NEGOTIATIONS AND MILITARY POSTURE: Intelligence sources say U.S. negotiations with Iran are not progressing well. Diplomacy is continuing while military preparations move forward. As of now, there is no indication of an imminent U.S. strike after plans were called off on January 14. Officials assess President Trump is likely to wait until required military assets are fully in place.
🕞PLANNED STRIKES AND DECISION TIMING: At the Pentagon on Wednesday, aides to senior leaders were prepared to stay late into the night in anticipation of U.S. strikes against Iran. At around 3:30 PM, they were told they could go home as normal. Officials told The Washington Post that the President will have another opportunity to sign off on strikes in the next two to three weeks, once U.S. military assets moving toward the region are fully positioned, helping address Israel’s concerns about its own protection. This also confirms that strikes were planned for January 14, as previously reported. On Wednesday, President Trump’s senior security advisers were confident he was close to ordering an attack on Iran.
🇮🇱 ISRAELI ASSESSMENTS AND COORDINATION WITH WASHINGTON: Israel sees a historic opportunity to change the regime in Iran and believes it is necessary to prepare thoroughly for a strike that could lead to the overthrow of the Islamic Republic. Israeli officials warn that a poorly prepared operation would harm U.S. and Israeli interests in the region. Prime Minister Netanyahu requested that an operation against Iran be postponed. Israeli estimates suggest the United States has not backed down from attacking Iran but is waiting for the right moment. Senior American officials told Israel’s Channel 12, “The attack [on Iran] will happen, it’s only a matter of time. The United States is preparing for action.” President Trump told Prime Minister Netanyahu that Israel must be prepared to pay the price for an Iranian response.
⚠️ U.S. FORCE POSTURE IN THE REGION
Estimates indicate the U.S. military buildup in the Middle East is expected to reach its peak within one week. The United States has begun redeploying offensive and defensive weapons to the region in case President Trump orders a strike on Iran.
‼️ IDF READINESS AND AIR DEFENSE PREPARATIONS: The IDF has decided to maintain heightened readiness. It is continuing preparations for a prolonged period of increased air defense posture.
♟️ KEY U.S. DEPLOYMENTS: The aircraft carrier strike group USS Abraham Lincoln is being deployed to the region, alongside additional air defense systems, fighter jets, and possibly submarines. Four U.S. Air Force C-17A cargo aircraft flew from Europe to Diego Garcia Air Base, a key U.S. facility in the Indian Ocean positioned strategically in relation to Iran.
♟️ ALLIED MOVEMENTS: British, French, and German forces have been observed deploying Eurofighter jets to RAF Akrotiri Air Base in Cyprus and to Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan.
⚠️ ISRAELI ASSESSMENT: Israeli officials still believe the United States may strike Iran in the coming days.

⚠️ AIRSPACE WARNINGS, MILITARY ASSET MOVEMENTS, AND DEFENSE READINESS SIGNAL HEIGHTENED IRAN-RELATED TENSIONS ACROSS REGION
🕑 January 18, 2026 | 9:30 AM
✈️ AVIATION SAFETY AND FLIGHT DISRUPTIONS: The European Aviation Safety Agency has advised airlines to avoid operating in Iranian airspace due to heightened alert levels of Iran’s air defense forces and an increased risk of misidentification within Tehran’s flight information region.
Separately, the Lufthansa Group extended the cancellation of overnight flights to and from Israel through January 31, citing the tense regional security situation and concerns over potential escalation involving Iran.
⚠️ IRANIAN WARNING TO THE UNITED STATES: Iran’s Foreign Ministry rejected U.S. State Department claims that Tehran is preparing options to strike American bases, calling the allegations part of escalating tensions. “The U.S. State Department's allegations that we are preparing options to strike American bases are part of escalating tensions. Tehran will respond forcefully to any hostile action, and our forces are determined to maintain and develop their defensive capabilities.”
🛫 U.S. AND ALLIED BASE POSTURE ADJUSTMENTS: The United States and Saudi Arabia have evacuated non-essential aircraft from Prince Sultan Air Base in Al Kharj, Saudi Arabia.
At Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, bombers and strategic aircraft have been withdrawn from the facility.
🇮🇱 ISRAELI AIR FORCE FORCE-BUILDING: Israel is set to receive three additional F-35I Adir stealth fighter jets at Nevatim Air Base today. The delivery will increase the Israeli Air Force’s F-35 fleet to 48 aircraft, as part of a long-term plan to expand the force to 75 jets.
⚖️ IRANIAN EXECUTIONS AND DIPLOMATIC MESSAGING: That posture changed when envoy Steve Witkoff told President Trump that Iran had canceled the executions of 800 people after receiving text messages from Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqhchi. President Trump said, “The best decision Khamenei has made in his life was not to carry out the 800 planned executions.” Despite regime denials, reports now say Arfan Soltani, described as the first detained protester, was executed on January 13 as scheduled. Since then, authorities have reportedly blocked his family from visiting him and provided no information on his whereabouts, raising concerns the regime is concealing the execution to avoid international backlash.
❌ ARGENTINA DESIGNATES IRGC QUDS FORCE AS TERRORIST ORGANIZATION: Argentina has designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force as a terrorist organization. “The Quds Force is a division of the IRGC, specializing in training for carrying out terrorist attacks in other countries. The Argentine Republic was a victim of its operations in the 1990s through the attacks on the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires in 1992 and the AMIA Jewish community center in 1994,” according to the decree signed by Argentine President Javier Milei.

🛡️ U.S. REPOSITIONS CARRIER AND AIR ASSETS AS CENTCOM SHIFTS TO 24/7 SUPPORT AMID IRAN TENSIONS, WHILE ISRAEL REPORTS IRAN ESPIONAGE ARREST, OPERATIONS IN SOUTHERN LEBANON
🕑 January 18, 2026 | 4:00 PM
🎯 IDF OPERATIONS IN SOUTHERN LEBANON: Troops from the Multi-Dimensional Unit, operating under the 91st Division, completed a two-month mission in southern Lebanon aimed at preventing Hezbollah entrenchment in the area. The unit focused on intelligence collection, locating enemy infrastructure, directing fire, and assisting ground and aerial forces in dismantling Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure and neutralizing operatives.
🔶 U.S. NAVAL MOVEMENT The USS: Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) has been detected with AIS active as it prepares to enter and transit the Strait of Malacca. The carrier is expected to proceed into the Bay of Bengal and onward to the Indian Ocean.
🔶 U.S. AIR FORCE DEPLOYMENTS: An ongoing U.S. Air Force transport mission is moving fast air assets toward the Middle East. Four KC-135R aerial refueling tankers have been observed deploying from the United Kingdom.
🔶 FORWARD FIGHTER POSITIONING: Reports indicate that approximately twelve F-15 fighter aircraft are being transferred from RAF Lakenheath toward Jordan. This forward deployment places U.S. fighter aircraft within operational range of Iran, Syria, and Iraq.
🔶 COORDINATED FORCE MOVEMENT: These movements reflect a visible repositioning of U.S. military assets across the Middle East and the Indian Ocean region. The carrier and air deployments appear designed for deterrent signaling while preserving operational flexibility.
⚠️ U.S. MILITARY READINESS LINKED TO IRAN: U.S. Central Command has been directed to prepare for providing major operational support 24/7 over the next month amid rising tensions related to Iran.
🔶 IRAN PROTESTS AND REGIME RESPONSE: An Iranian source told Reuters: "At least 5,000 have been killed in protests in the country, some of the fiercest clashes occurred in the Kurdish regions in northwestern Iran". Iran’s Chief Prosecutor Ali Salehi dismissed U.S. President Trump's claim that 800 executions in Iran were canceled, calling Trump's remarks "useless and baseless nonsense" and saying Iran’s judicial response to protest-related cases would be "decisive, deterrent, and swift".
❌ SHIN BET ARRESTS SUSPECTED IRANIAN SPY: The Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) arrested a Haredi yeshiva student in Modi'in Illit on suspicion of spying for Iran.
🔶 NETANYAHU MEETS SENATOR GRAHAM: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Senator Lindsey Graham, who is pushing for the overthrow of the Iranian regime.

🛡️ U.S. POSITIONS F-15s IN JORDAN AS IRAN ISSUES WAR WARNING; ISRAEL SETS 2026 RESERVE COMPENSATION FRAMEWORK AMID SHARP GAZA POLICY CLASH AND BUDGET–DRAFT SHOWDOWN
🕑 January 18, 26 | 6:30 PM
♟️ U.S. MILITARY POSITIONING: Intelligence sources report that a total of 18 F-15 fighter jets are slated to be stationed in Jordan, with six already there. The aircraft being transferred to the Middle East briefly appeared on public flight-tracking platforms. Sources described the brief visibility as a psychological warfare maneuver.
⚠️ IRAN MESSAGE TO PRESIDENT TRUMP: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian delivered a direct message warning that any attack on Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei would be treated as all-out war. He said economic hardship in Iran is largely driven by what he described as longstanding hostility and sanctions imposed by the United States and its allies. He added that aggression against the Supreme Leader would be considered war against the Iranian nation.
🪖 ISRAEL RESERVE SERVICE COMPENSATION FRAMEWORK: The Ministerial Committee on Reserve Service, chaired by Defense Minister Israel Katz, approved the principles of a NIS 6.2 billion compensation and recognition framework for Israel’s reserve forces for 2026. The committee reviewed reserve activity and readiness over the past two years and examined implementation of four government decisions adopted since October 7. A formal government decision based on these principles is expected to be brought to the cabinet for approval in the coming week.
Under an agreement between the defense and finance ministers, reserve service in 2026 will average 40,000 reserve days per day—a one-third reduction compared to 2025—while existing benefits are preserved, with combat soldiers and commanders prioritized. For the first time, the IDF will introduce a differential model dividing reservists into six activity tiers, with benefits tied to the nature of service. Developed jointly by the Defense and Finance Ministries, the framework builds on government decisions since October 2023 totaling about NIS 20 billion and aims to sustain operational readiness while strengthening the economic, family, and mental resilience of reservists, with additional tailored support still under development.
❗️ POLITICAL CLASH OVER GAZA’S FUTURE: Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said: “The original sin is the Prime Minister’s unwillingness to take responsibility for Gaza — to establish a military administration there, encourage emigration and settlement, and thus ensure Israel’s security for many years to come. This refusal created the need for strange constructions to manage civilian life in Gaza that are neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority. But even under that assumption, there must be red lines: The countries that kept Hamas alive cannot be the ones to replace it. Those that support it and continue to host it even now will not be given a foothold in Gaza. Period. Our brave fighters did not risk their lives in a tremendous national mobilization just to swap one bad option for another.”
Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said: “Bringing Qatar and Turkey into the Gaza Strip is a reward for Hamas for the October 7 massacre and a danger to Israel’s security. The government of chaos has relinquished Israel’s sovereignty.”
⚖️ BUDGET, CONSCRIPTION, AND COALITION PRESSURE: Due to the position of the Knesset’s legal adviser, the Knesset will be required to vote this week on the state budget and the Arrangements Law in their first reading if it wishes to complete the budget’s passage by the end of March. The Cabinet Secretary told ministers that discussions on the conscription law will conclude in two weeks, and the government plans to tell the ultra-Orthodox that the military draft is approaching while asking them to support the budget and the Arrangements Law in the meantime. In the background, Degel HaTorah has warned Agudat Yisrael that if it fully opposes the draft, it will run separately. If the budget is not passed by March, the Knesset will dissolve and new elections will be held.

🪖 LEBANON BORDER INCIDENT ENDS: IDF troops were dispatched to the Lebanon border in the Western Galilee after a suspect was identified on the Lebanese side of the fence. The IDF said forces maintained continuous surveillance, while a tank and a helicopter opened fire in the area to “remove the threat.” The military said the incident ended after the suspect withdrew northward away from the border, and troops remained in contact with local Israeli authorities.
❗️ IRANIAN STATE BROADCASTER HACKED: Iranian state media, IRIB, was hacked and broadcasts were reportedly interrupted and replaced with footage of recent protests and a video message by Reza Pahlavi. Opposition channels said the breach lasted about 10 minutes and included speeches and protest videos.
⚠️ IDF REVIEWS RESPONSE SCENARIOS FOR POSSIBLE IRAN ATTACK: IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir discussed potential scenarios for an Israeli response to a possible Iranian attack at the Air Force headquarters.
🎯 ISRAEL AND U.S. REINFORCE AIR DEFENSE POSTURE: Boaz Levy, President of Israel Aerospace Industries: “There are enough Hetz [Arrow air defense] missiles to intercept Iranian missiles. Production of the Hetz has been running around the clock. Our interceptors are designed to destroy incoming missiles, 90 per cent were intercepted during the last clash [in June 2024, with Iran].” Israel is reinforcing its air defense posture amid rising concerns over a potential escalation with Iran, including the arrival of three additional Israeli F-35 “Adir” fighter jets at Nevatim Air Base.
The United States has begun deploying additional air-defense assets to Israel, supplementing systems already in place since late 2024. These include THAAD batteries, Patriot (PAC-3) systems, and U.S.-owned Iron Dome interceptors transferred to reinforce Israel’s stockpiles against rockets and UAVs. THAAD operates using a hit-to-kill mechanism and each battery is operated by roughly 100 U.S. troops, creating a direct American military presence on Israeli soil.
The U.S. systems are designed to complement, not replace, Israel’s Arrow-2 and Arrow-3 missile defense layers, allowing more efficient use of interceptor inventories. Some details are based on official reporting, while other indications are based on observations of U.S. heavy transport aircraft, including C-5 Galaxy planes, landing at Nevatim Air Base.
⚠️ REPORTS: IRAN RECEIVES ADVANCED AIR DEFENSE SYSTEMS: Reports say Iran has received additional advanced air-defense systems, including China’s HQ-9B surface-to-air missile system and Russia’s S-400, after Iran failed to defend its airspace during the so-called “Twelve-Day War.” Analysts assess this reinforcement would complicate any future strike aimed at Iranian leadership or strategic assets.
The HQ-9B is reported to have a 250–300 km operational range, a flight ceiling of around 50 km, speeds exceeding Mach 4, and a dedicated radar that guides missiles to their targets. Experts believe Iran’s ability to deter or challenge a potential U.S. attack has improved following the system’s arrival.

🛡️ IDF LAUNCHES MULTI-DAY COUNTERTERRORISM OPERATION IN HEBRON AS U.S. REASSESSES IRAN STRIKE TIMING AND REINFORCES REGIONAL MILITARY POSTURE
🕑 January 19, 2026 | 8:30 AM
❌ IDF OPERATION IN JUDEA AND SAMARIA: Overnight, Israeli security forces began a counterterrorism operation in the Jabal Johar area of Hebron focused on dismantling terror infrastructure, confiscating illegally held weapons, and strengthening security in the area.
The operation is expected to continue for several days. Explosions may be heard during the activity, and increased IDF troop movement is expected. Palestinian media reported road and traffic route blockages in southern Hebron beginning this morning.
🇺🇸 PRESIDENT TRUMP TRUTH SOCIAL POST: President Trump shared a post on his Truth Social platform quoting Marc Thiessen’s prediction that Trump would one day visit a “free Iran,” alongside a “free Havana” and a “free Caracas.”
The post was shared as a quote rather than a direct statement and did not reference imminent military action or specific operational steps.
♟️ U.S. DECISION ON IRAN STRIKE TIMING: According to American sources, President Trump’s decision to delay a strike on Iran was not related to interceptor shortages or concerns about a potential collapse of Israel’s air defense systems. Israel reportedly conveyed that the attack plan presented last week would not have brought about the regime’s downfall.
The United States is now re-engaging and, alongside military capabilities, is seeking to identify internal breaking points within the Iranian system.
🛩️ MILITARY AIRLIFT ACTIVITY IN THE REGION: Reports indicate that two additional C-17A transport aircraft departed from a UK Air Force base en route to an airbase in Jordan. This follows the arrival of 12 F-15E fighter aircraft in Jordan earlier yesterday.

🎯 IDF STRIKES HEZBOLLAH TARGETS IN SOUTHERN LEBANON AND ELIMINATES TERRORISTS NEAR TROOPS IN GAZA
🕑 January 19, 2026 | 12:30 PM
💥 SOUTHERN LEBANON STRIKES: In response to repeated violations of the ceasefire understandings, the IDF is striking Hezbollah terror targets in southern Lebanon. Targets included terror infrastructure across several areas, including military structures used for drills, training, and planning attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians.
The IDF also struck tunnel shafts used for weapons storage at multiple Hezbollah military sites, where terrorist activity was identified over the past few months. Several launch sites and additional military structures were struck for their role in advancing attacks against IDF forces and the State of Israel.
🎯 GAZA BORDER INCIDENTS: Yesterday in the southern Gaza Strip, IDF troops identified two terrorists who crossed the Yellow Line and approached the forces, posing an imminent threat. One terrorist was eliminated to remove the threat.
In a separate incident in the northern Gaza Strip, IDF troops identified three terrorists who crossed the Yellow Line and approached the forces, posing an imminent threat. The troops fired toward them and eliminated one terrorist to remove the threat.

🛡️ TRUMP SIGNALS LOWER U.S. RESTRAINT AS NETANYAHU ISSUES DIRECT WARNING TO IRAN, WITH WING OF ZION DEPARTURE REINFORCING DETERRENCE MESSAGING
🕑 January 19, 2026 | 6:00 PM
⚠️ PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU ON IRAN: “If Iran makes a mistake and attacks us, we will act against Iran with forces it has not yet experienced.”
🇮🇱 PRIME MINISTERIAL AIRCRAFT MOVEMENT: According to Flightradar24, the prime ministerial aircraft “Wing of Zion” departed Nevatim Air Base in southern Israel and exited Israeli airspace. The plane later landed at BGN Airport.
⚠️ IRANIAN REGIME WARNING TO RIOT PARTICIPANTS: The Chief of Iran’s Law Enforcement Forces stated: “Those who participated in the riots but were deceived have 3 days to turn themselves in. They will receive a significant reduction in their sentence.”
♟️President Trump wrote to the Prime Minister of Norway that he no longer feels obligated to think solely about peace. In the letter, he wrote: “Considering that your country has decided not to award me the Nobel Peace Prize — I no longer feel obligated to think solely about peace. Although it will always be dominant, now I can think about what is good and right for the United States. The world is not safe as long as we do not have complete control over Greenland.”
The message is being interpreted as signaling fewer self-imposed restraints on U.S. behavior, with direct implications for Iran. Under this reading, Tehran would assume a lower threshold for coercive measures, reduced patience for prolonged diplomacy, and greater willingness to enforce red lines through force if necessary.
The framing shifts from “peace” as the organizing principle to deterrence through strength and unpredictability.
Given President Trump’s first-term record of sudden and unconventional actions, this tone increases strategic uncertainty for Iran.
The practical effect described is heightened pressure rather than immediate war. Iran would need to reassess its proxy activity, defensive posture, and nuclear calculations under the assumption that U.S. restraint can no longer be taken for granted.

❗️TRUMP PUSHES DAVOS SIGNING FOR “BOARD OF PEACE” AS EUROPE SIGNALS REFUSAL AND ISRAELI LEADERS PUBLICLY SPLIT OVER GAZA GOVERNANCE
🕑 January 19, 2026 | 6:45 PM
⚠️ Trump “Board of Peace” proposal: President Trump is reportedly pushing for a public signing ceremony at the World Economic Forum in Davos for his proposed “Board of Peace,” despite the framework’s mandate and authority remaining unclear.
Europe has questioned the initiative, Israel has expressed concern, and Kremlin-aligned figures have welcomed it, raising questions about governance, enforcement, and security guarantees. At this stage, it is being viewed less as a finalized peace mechanism and more as a strategic pressure test of who is willing to publicly sign on.
🚫 France signals refusal: A source at the Élysée Palace confirms to i24NEWS that President Macron is expected to decline President Trump’s proposal to participate in the Board of Peace.
French officials are expected to tell Washington that the council’s charter raises serious concerns about its compatibility with the principles and institutional framework of the United Nations.
❗️ Smotrich rejects Trump plan, outlines Gaza stance: At a ceremony marking the establishment of the “Yatziv” settlement in Gush Etzion, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said: “The time has come to explain to Trump that his plan is bad for the State of Israel and to cancel it. Gaza is ours, and therefore we are taking responsibility for what happens there, imposing military rule over it, and completing the mission.
The time has come to dismantle the headquarters in Kiryat Gat, to expel countries such as Egypt and Britain from there—countries that are hostile to Israel and undermine its security—to present Hamas with a very brief ultimatum for true disarmament and exile.
Immediately after it expires, to storm Gaza with full force, destroy Hamas militarily and civilly, open the Rafah crossing with or without Egyptian consent, and allow the residents of Gaza to leave and seek their future elsewhere, where they will not endanger the future of our children.
With God’s help, we will meet very soon at a similar ceremony in the Gaza Strip. I very much hope that it will be under the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, that he will lead it, and that we will not need political upheavals along the way.”
⚖️ Netanyahu and Lapid trade claims over Gaza governance: Prime Minister Netanyahu said: “Phase B means one simple thing — Hamas will be disarmed and Gaza will be demilitarized, either the easy way or the hard way.”
He added: “Turkish and Qatari soldiers will not be in the Gaza Strip,” and said Israel has a disagreement with the Americans over the advisory council that will oversee processes in Gaza.
Opposition leader Yair Lapid said to Netanyahu: “President Trump published – right over your head – the composition of the ‘governing board’ for Gaza. The hosts of Hamas in Istanbul and Doha, Hamas’s ideological partners, have been invited to run Gaza.
Since that speech, President Trump has also published the composition of the technocratic committee meant to manage daily life in Gaza. I know you’re trying to blur this, but the dominant body in the committee is the Palestinian Authority.”

🛡️ IDF CHIEF OF STAFF UNDERSCORES HOME FRONT READINESS AND UNPRECEDENTED OFFENSIVE CAPABILITY AS ISIS DETENTION BREACHES IN SYRIA DRIVE REGIONAL MILITARY MOVES AND ISRAEL WARNS AGAINST GOLAN WITHDRAWAL OVER INFILTRATION RISKS
🕑 January 19, 2026 | 10:30 PM
⚠️ IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir visited the Home Front Command headquarters on Monday, emphasizing Israel’s preparedness to defend the civilian front.
He stated that Home Front Command forces are trained, alert, and ready to respond at all times to attacks and lifesaving scenarios, operating in close coordination with local authorities and emergency organizations.
Zamir stressed that Israel maintains full defensive readiness across all scenarios while holding powerful offensive options to deter and respond to aggression.
He said the IDF is prepared to employ unprecedented offensive capabilities against any attempt to harm the State of Israel and noted that lessons from Operation “Rising Lion,” including preparations for the possibility of a surprise war, have been fully implemented, alongside deeper integration with civilian and emergency frameworks to reinforce national resilience.
⬛ ISIS detention facilities compromised in northeast Syria: Reports from northeast Syria indicate breaches and escapes at ISIS detention facilities that were previously guarded by U.S.-backed Kurdish SDF forces amid clashes and shifting control on the ground. Major outlets confirm prisoner escapes, but claims that “3,000 ISIS fighters were released overnight” remain unverified, even as it is confirmed that these prisons hold thousands of ISIS detainees and that custody has been weakened or disrupted.
🇮🇱 Implications for Israel’s security environment: For Israel, this does not constitute an immediate ISIS threat, but it represents a strategic destabilizer tied to broader instability in eastern and northeastern Syria as authority shifts away from the SDF toward the Syrian regime. Such conditions historically benefit Iran and its proxies by enabling expanded movement and entrenchment under the cover of counter-ISIS activity, directly affecting Israel’s northern strategic environment.
The erosion of ISIS detention control is a proven mechanism for ISIS regeneration, allowing experienced operatives to re-enter Syria and Iraq and rebuild networks over time, even if Israel is not the primary target. Iraq’s border reinforcement underscores regional concern, while Israel is expected to increase intelligence monitoring of transit routes toward southern Syria, the Golan Heights, and Jordan, with attention to weapons smuggling, proxy repositioning, and potential Iranian exploitation of the situation.
⚠️ IDF officers are advising Israel’s political leadership not to withdraw from the Golan Heights, citing heightened security concerns along Israel’s northern and eastern borders.
The assessment is driven by fears of a potential mass infiltration of armed militants from Syria and Jordan, modeled on the Hamas attack of October 7. Senior officers note that the sense of failure following Hamas’s infiltration into the western Negev continues to influence current operational thinking.
From the military’s perspective, relinquishing territory along any hostile border is considered unacceptable in the foreseeable future, given the risk of coordinated cross-border attacks.

⬛ ISIS detention facilities compromised in northeast Syria: Reports from northeast Syria indicate breaches and escapes at ISIS detention facilities that were previously guarded by U.S.-backed Kurdish SDF forces amid clashes and shifting control on the ground. Major outlets confirm prisoner escapes, but claims that “3,000 ISIS fighters were released overnight” remain unverified, even as it is confirmed that these prisons hold thousands of ISIS detainees and that custody has been weakened or disrupted.
🇮🇱 Implications for Israel’s security environment: For Israel, this does not constitute an immediate ISIS threat, but it represents a strategic destabilizer tied to broader instability in eastern and northeastern Syria as authority shifts away from the SDF toward the Syrian regime. Such conditions historically benefit Iran and its proxies by enabling expanded movement and entrenchment under the cover of counter-ISIS activity, directly affecting Israel’s northern strategic environment.
The erosion of ISIS detention control is a proven mechanism for ISIS regeneration, allowing experienced operatives to re-enter Syria and Iraq and rebuild networks over time, even if Israel is not the primary target. Iraq’s border reinforcement underscores regional concern, while Israel is expected to increase intelligence monitoring of transit routes toward southern Syria, the Golan Heights, and Jordan, with attention to weapons smuggling, proxy repositioning, and potential Iranian exploitation of the situation.
⚠️ IDF officers are advising Israel’s political leadership not to withdraw from the Golan Heights, citing heightened security concerns along Israel’s northern and eastern borders.
The assessment is driven by fears of a potential mass infiltration of armed militants from Syria and Jordan, modeled on the Hamas attack of October 7. Senior officers note that the sense of failure following Hamas’s infiltration into the western Negev continues to influence current operational thinking.
From the military’s perspective, relinquishing territory along any hostile border is considered unacceptable in the foreseeable future, given the risk of coordinated cross-border attacks.

🛡️ USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN STEAMS TOWARD ARABIAN SEA AS U.S. SIGNALS IRAN DETERRENCE, MACRON FLOATS COORDINATION WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP, AND ISRAEL CONVEYS WILLINGNESS TO ABSORB IRANIAN MISSILE BARRAGE IF IT TRIGGERS REGIME COLLAPSE
🕑 January 20, 2026 | 8:30 AM
🚢 Carrier movement and positioning: The U.S. aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) has entered the Indian Ocean after transiting the Malacca Strait and is heading toward the Arabian Sea. This positions U.S. naval airpower within rapid reach of Iran and the wider Middle East while avoiding the strategic vulnerabilities of Persian Gulf chokepoints.
The movement is assessed as strategic deterrence, not a declaration of war. For Israel, it reinforces the U.S. regional backstop without changing Israel’s independent operational posture, while increasing deterrence against direct Iranian escalation.
The carrier presence supports enhanced maritime security, intelligence coverage, and rapid-response capability across multiple theaters. It also contributes to stabilizing key shipping routes whose disruption would carry economic and security implications for Israel.
⚠️ French President Emmanuel Macron told U.S. President Donald Trump, “We can do great things on Iran,” signaling openness to close coordination while keeping the message deliberately broad and non-committal.
In diplomatic terms, the phrasing points to potential alignment on Iran’s nuclear program and regional activity, including pressure, containment, or negotiated frameworks tied to Iran’s role in Syria and its support for regional proxies. The statement also signals that France does not want to be sidelined in any U.S.-led Iran initiative.
⚠️ Israel has informed the United: States that it assesses it could absorb even a worst-case Iranian barrage of roughly 700 ballistic missiles if it led to the collapse of the Islamic Republic.
Israeli leaders argue the cost would be “worth it,” pointing to the performance of Israel’s air and missile defense systems during the 2025 war.

🎯 IDF STRIKES HEZBOLLAH TARGET IN SOUTHERN LEBANON, LOCATES GAZA WEAPONS SHAFT AS U.S. AND REGIONAL ACTORS SIGNAL BROADER SECURITY MOVES
🕑 January 20, 2026 | 10:30 PM
💥 SOUTHERN LEBANON: Lebanese media reported an IDF artillery strike on the outskirts of the village of Yaroun.
❌ The IDF Spokesperson said the IDF struck “a terrorist from the Hezbollah organization” in the Zibqin area in southern Lebanon in response to Hezbollah’s repeated violations of the ceasefire understandings.
Separately, Lebanese reporting described the strike location as the Zabbqin area.
🪖 NORTHERN ISRAEL: The IDF announced a military exercise scheduled for tomorrow morning in the Galilee region. Increased movement of security forces is expected, and the IDF said there is no concern of a security incident.
🔹 SYRIA AND KURDISH FORCES: U.S. Syria envoy Tom Barrack said the original purpose of the SDF as the primary anti-ISIS force on the ground has largely expired, stating that Damascus is now willing and positioned to take over security responsibilities, including control of ISIS detention facilities and camps.
A Kurdish official told AFP: “Israeli figures are in contact with us, and we expect support from Israel in any form”.
⚠️ U.S. MILITARY POSTURE: U.S. Central Command announced the arrival of F-15 aircraft at a base in the Middle East, reportedly in Jordan.
The deployment was described as part of an ongoing U.S. military buildup amid tensions with Iran.
🎗️ HOSTAGE UPDATE: At a press conference, President Trump said the U.S. believes it knows the location of the remains of Ran Gvili, described as the last Israeli hostage in Gaza.
🔸 REGIONAL DIPLOMACY: Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, the President of the UAE, accepted President Trump’s offer to sit on the “Board of Peace”.
🔥 GAZA STRIP: During IDF activity aimed at dismantling terror infrastructure near the Yellow Line in the southern Gaza Strip, troops located a shaft containing dozens of weapons used by terrorist organizations. The weapons included AK-47s, RPGs, and magazines.
🇮🇱 POLITICAL STATEMENTS: Netanyahu said, “We are turning Israel into a regional power, and in some aspects, a global power,” during a meeting with students of the National Defense College. In the 40-signature debate, he said: “We treat the criminal organizations in Arab society as full-fledged terrorist organizations. We are waging an all-out war against them—and in war, we fight.”
📌 DOMESTIC OVERSIGHT: A State Comptroller report on spyware found that 50 terabytes of data are held by the police even though it was obtained unlawfully or past the date it was due to be erased. The report cited 13,000 instances of spyware use without a clear legal basis.
⚠️ CIVIL DEFENSE Defense Minister: Katz said he instructed that the years 2026–2027 be defined as critical readiness years for earthquakes.

🛡️ IDF CONDUCTS LONG-RANGE AIR EXERCISE AS NETANYAHU OUTLINES POWER DOCTRINE, KATZ SIGNALS GREECE-CYPRUS-ISRAEL ALLIANCE, AND U.S. WARNS AGAINST ISRAELI ENTANGLEMENT IN SYRIA
🕑 January 20, 2026 | 11:30 PM
✈️ IDF OPERATIONAL READINESS: The IDF launched a large-scale aerial exercise this evening over the eastern Mediterranean.
The drill includes ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) platforms and aerial refueling tanker aircraft, indicating preparation for long-range operational activity.
🇮🇱 NETANYAHU ON STRATEGIC DIRECTION: Prime Minister Netanyahu said he met with cadets of the National Security College, including IDF brigadier generals and senior security officials.
He said the discussion focused on decisive decisions taken during the War of Revival, decisions that have already changed and continue to change the strategic landscape of the Middle East.
Netanyahu stated that Israel is becoming a regional power and, in several fields, a global power.
He stressed the need for very strong defense capabilities, independent domestic production, and the continued deepening of Israel’s relative technological and military advantage.
He concluded that the mission is clear and the responsibility is heavy, saying Israel will continue to act with determination to ensure its security and future.
⚠️ KATZ IN ATHENS: ALLIANCE SIGNALING: Defense Minister Israel Katz is currently meeting in Athens with Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias.
Katz said: "Anyone [Turkey] who dreams of taking the region back or re-establishing an empire at the expense of sovereign states will face a solid alliance of free and strong nations [Greece-Cyprus-Israel] capable of defending themselves,"
🔹 U.S. ENVOY WARNING ON SYRIA AND ISRAEL INVOLVEMENT: During a closed-door meeting in Erbil, U.S. envoy for Syria Tom Barrack accused SDF Commander-in-Chief Mazloum Abdi of attempting to involve Israel in Syria's internal affairs, saying that "this would not happen".
Barrack warned that any such attempt would risk destruction and could create serious friction between Turkey and Israel.
"You are still dealing with the situation as if Bashar al-Assad is ruling Syria. There has been a fundamental change. Damascus is our partner today in the fight against terrorism," Barrack told Abdi.
President Trump said on Syria: "The Kurds were paid tremendous amounts of money. We gave them oil and other things. They were doing it for themselves. We are trying to protect the Kurds".

🛡️ ISRAEL ENFORCES UNRWA BAN IN JERUSALEM, RESOLVES SECURITY ALERT, SUSPENDS PROTESTS, AND SIGNALS DIPLOMATIC AND DETERRENCE MOVES ON U.S., IRAN, AND HOSTAGES
🕑 January 21, 2026 | 12:30 AM
🚨 Tapuach Alert Resolved: A Home Front Command alert was activated in the Tapuach area following a reported breach at the community checkpoint. After inspection, the individual was identified as a local resident, and authorities confirmed there is no suspicion of a security incident.
🇮🇱 Israel Enforces UNRWA Ban in Jerusalem: Israeli authorities have seized and begun demolishing the UNRWA compound in Jerusalem’s Ma’alot Dafna neighborhood under the new law banning UNRWA’s activities in Israel. The operation was carried out by the Israel Land Authority with police support, marking the first enforcement action under the legislation.
The site served for years as UNRWA’s headquarters in the heart of Jerusalem and has now been returned to state control. According to Israeli authorities, the land will be redeveloped for public use while preserving the historic building on the site.
A second UNRWA compound in Kafr Aqab is also slated for evacuation and demolition in accordance with the Knesset’s decision. The move follows serious revelations that UNRWA employees were involved in the October 7 terror attack and that UNRWA facilities in Gaza were used to conceal Israeli hostages, increasing scrutiny of the agency’s operations and presence.
⚠️ Jerusalem Protest and Road Incidents: A Haredi protester was run over in Jerusalem during a road blockade, and his condition was reported as moderate.
Separately, a fatal crash occurred at the Komemiyut junction, about half a kilometer from the demonstration, and an investigation is examining whether the victim was a Haredi youth who had blocked the road.
The Supreme Court ruled that no autopsy will be performed on the bodies of the two infants who perished in yesterday’s disaster.
Following the High Court of Justice announcement, the Jerusalem Faction declared a suspension of the demonstrations.
🔹 Political and Diplomatic Developments
According to Yediot Ahronoth, Prime Minister Netanyahu is expected to travel to the United States at the end of February to attend the AIPAC conference in Washington. The report adds that he may meet again with President Trump during the visit.
🔹 Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said at an activists’ conference in Carmiel: “I invite Netanyahu to a debate, anytime, anywhere. I care about the State of Israel. I present a positive vision. In contrast to chaos, disorder, and hatred – I offer a future and hope.”
⚠️ President Trump Warns Iran
President Trump said: “Iran was planning to execute 837 people, and we informed them that if that happened, it would be a very bad day for them. I can't tell you what will happen in the future. We have to wait and see what will happen.”
🎗️ HOSTAGE FAMILY STATEMENT: The family of Ran, Itzik, and Talik Gvili said: "Trump’s statements prove what we’ve been saying for three months — Hamas knows exactly where our son is and is deliberately and knowingly violating President Trump’s framework and the agreement for the return of all the hostages.
Now, the responsibility lies with the government of Israel and the American administration to use all their weight to ensure that Hamas fulfills its part of the agreement, or that sanctions be imposed on it."
🔹 SA’AR IN PRAGUE: TIES AND JERUSALEM EMBASSY DISCUSSION: Foreign Affairs Minister Gideon Sa’ar reported an "Excellent meeting in Prague with new Czech FM petr macinka."
Minister Macinka signed the appointment of a Special Envoy for Holocaust Remembrance and Combating Antisemitism during the meeting, a step Sa’ar said he appreciated.
The two also discussed the possibility of moving the Czech embassy to Jerusalem, a move Sa’ar said the foreign minister expressed support for.

❗️PRESIDENT TRUMP WARNS IRAN OF TOTAL DESTRUCTION OVER ANY ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT AS U.S. REVIEWS DECISIVE MILITARY OPTIONS; U.S. AIR FORCE KC-135 TANKERS AND U.S. “DOOMSDAY PLANE” MOVE TOWARD EUROPE AMID HEIGHTENED STRATEGIC READINESS
🕑 January 21, 2026 | 7:30 AM
⚠️ Direct Warning from President Trump: President Trump warned Iran of a devastating response to any assassination attempt against him and said he has issued firm orders that Iran would face total destruction if he is targeted. Asked about repeated threats from the Iranian regime, Trump said: “Well, they shouldn't be doing it, but I've left a notification. If anything happens [to me], the whole country is gonna get blown up.”
♟️ U.S. Military Options Under Review: The Wall Street Journal reported that President Trump is seeking what he describes as “decisive” options regarding the Islamic Republic. According to the report, Pentagon and White House officials are reviewing a range of scenarios, including the overthrow of the Islamic Republic and more limited options such as strikes on IRGC facilities. U.S. officials said Trump has not yet ordered an attack on Iran and that a final decision has not been made.
Former U.S. officials and experts cited in the report raised questions about whether a foreign regime can be overthrown solely through airstrikes and whether the United States is prepared for a long-term military campaign. The report notes that such a campaign, particularly if protests resume inside Iran and demonstrators call for Trump’s support, could extend for weeks or months. As stated in the report: “After pulling back from strikes on Iran last week, President Trump is still pressing aides for what he terms ‘decisive’ military options. Trump has repeatedly used the word ‘decisive’ when describing what effect he would like any U.S. action to have on Iran.”
✈️ U.S. aerial refueling deployments underway: Six United States Air Force KC-135R aerial refueling aircraft are moving from March Air Reserve Base in California and Bangor Air National Guard Base in Maine, preparing to cross the Atlantic air bridge toward the European Union. Several are reported to be destined for Morón Air Base in Spain.
🛰️ Strategic command aircraft movement observed: The U.S. “Doomsday Plane,” a modified Boeing 747 designed for strategic command operations, has also been observed flying toward Europe. Three additional KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft have been seen heading in the same direction, indicating increased aerial refueling activity and operational readiness.

⚠️ Direct Warning from President Trump: President Trump warned Iran of a devastating response to any assassination attempt against him and said he has issued firm orders that Iran would face total destruction if he is targeted. Asked about repeated threats from the Iranian regime, Trump said: “Well, they shouldn't be doing it, but I've left a notification. If anything happens [to me], the whole country is gonna get blown up.”
♟️ U.S. Military Options Under Review: The Wall Street Journal reported that President Trump is seeking what he describes as “decisive” options regarding the Islamic Republic. According to the report, Pentagon and White House officials are reviewing a range of scenarios, including the overthrow of the Islamic Republic and more limited options such as strikes on IRGC facilities. U.S. officials said Trump has not yet ordered an attack on Iran and that a final decision has not been made.
Former U.S. officials and experts cited in the report raised questions about whether a foreign regime can be overthrown solely through airstrikes and whether the United States is prepared for a long-term military campaign. The report notes that such a campaign, particularly if protests resume inside Iran and demonstrators call for Trump’s support, could extend for weeks or months. As stated in the report: “After pulling back from strikes on Iran last week, President Trump is still pressing aides for what he terms ‘decisive’ military options. Trump has repeatedly used the word ‘decisive’ when describing what effect he would like any U.S. action to have on Iran.”
✈️ U.S. aerial refueling deployments underway: Six United States Air Force KC-135R aerial refueling aircraft are moving from March Air Reserve Base in California and Bangor Air National Guard Base in Maine, preparing to cross the Atlantic air bridge toward the European Union. Several are reported to be destined for Morón Air Base in Spain.
🛰️ Strategic command aircraft movement observed: The U.S. “Doomsday Plane,” a modified Boeing 747 designed for strategic command operations, has also been observed flying toward Europe. Three additional KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft have been seen heading in the same direction, indicating increased aerial refueling activity and operational readiness.
