🛡️ 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.

🛡️ 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.

⚠️ TRUMP SET TO SPEAK AS IRANIAN PARLIAMENT WARNS OVER ANY HARM TO SUPREME LEADER AND QATAR URGES DIPLOMACY ON IRAN NUCLEAR FILE
🕑 January 20, 2026 | 7:30 AM
🚨 U.S. PRESIDENTIAL BRIEFING: President Trump is scheduled to hold a White House press conference at 13:00 ET.
⚠️ IRANIAN PARLIAMENTARY WARNING: According to a report by Iranian news agency ISNA, the National Security Committee of the Iranian Parliament stated that "any harm to the Supreme Leader means a declaration of war on the Islamic world, and one should expect the issuance of a fatwa of jihad and a response from the soldiers of Islam all over the world."
🔸 QATAR CALLS FOR DIPLOMATIC TRACK: Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, said Doha is not seeking escalation and views diplomacy as the preferred path regarding Iran’s nuclear file. He stated: "We are interacting with the Americans and do not want to see an increase in military tension. However, we did not argue with the US. What we offered as a partner was an honest recommendation; that the best way forward is to find a diplomatic solution to Iran's nuclear file."
He said Qatar is concerned about a regional nuclear race, adding: "We do not want a nuclear race to start in the region." Al Thani added: "We must understand each other's concerns and feel that everyone is secure. This includes Iranians, Palestinians, and Israelis."

🚨 U.S. PRESIDENTIAL BRIEFING: President Trump is scheduled to hold a White House press conference at 13:00 ET.
⚠️ IRANIAN PARLIAMENTARY WARNING: According to a report by Iranian news agency ISNA, the National Security Committee of the Iranian Parliament stated that "any harm to the Supreme Leader means a declaration of war on the Islamic world, and one should expect the issuance of a fatwa of jihad and a response from the soldiers of Islam all over the world."
🔸 QATAR CALLS FOR DIPLOMATIC TRACK: Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, said Doha is not seeking escalation and views diplomacy as the preferred path regarding Iran’s nuclear file. He stated: "We are interacting with the Americans and do not want to see an increase in military tension. However, we did not argue with the US. What we offered as a partner was an honest recommendation; that the best way forward is to find a diplomatic solution to Iran's nuclear file."
He said Qatar is concerned about a regional nuclear race, adding: "We do not want a nuclear race to start in the region." Al Thani added: "We must understand each other's concerns and feel that everyone is secure. This includes Iranians, Palestinians, and Israelis."

🎯 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.
🚢 U.S. Force Posture and Iranian Activity: An American report said the aircraft carrier George Bush has been instructed to prepare for movement toward the Middle East.
🚀 Separately, new images reportedly show the Iranian regime transporting missiles and drones across Iran overnight.

⚠️ U.S. MILITARY REDEPLOYMENT UNDERWAY AS REFUELING TANKERS MOVE TO EUROPE AND MIDDLE EAST AND USS LINCOLN HEADS FOR REGION; U.S. DEPLOYS ADDITIONAL PATRIOT AND THAAD DEFENSES TO MIDDLE EAST AS IRAN ISSUES RETALIATION WARNING AND INTERNET BLACKOUT CONTINUES
🕑 January 21, 2026 | 12:00 PM
✈️ U.S. Air Force Aerial Refueling Movements: Over the past several hours, 13 U.S. aerial refueling aircraft departed the continental United States toward Europe. The aircraft include 10 KC-135R Stratotankers and 3 KC-46A Pegasus tankers, reportedly in support of President Trump’s Davos visit. It is currently unknown whether these flights are supporting or repositioning any accompanying fast air assets.
A separate set of departures was also reported overnight, with more than 10 additional KC-135 Stratotankers leaving the United States for bases in the Middle East. Reported destinations include Morón Air Base in Spain, Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, and RAF Mildenhall in the United Kingdom. One tanker’s destination remains unconfirmed.
🚢 Carrier Deployment and Regional Posture: A broader U.S. military buildup is underway in the Middle East, including the deployment of a U.S. Carrier Strike Group to the region. This Carrier Strike Group was previously used to help protect Israel from Iranian missile attacks during the 12-day war.
The USS Lincoln is expected to reach the Middle East and be within strike range by January 23. According to the information provided, President Trump previously postponed a strike earlier last week due to concerns that the United States did not have sufficient assets in place to protect its own regional bases in the event of an Iranian retaliation.
🛡️ U.S. Air and Missile Defense Reinforcements: U.S. officials say additional air defenses are being sent to the Middle East, including more Patriot and THAAD missile-defense systems, according to The Wall Street Journal.
⚠️ Iranian Foreign Minister Issues Threat: In an interview with The New York Times, Iran’s foreign minister warned that this time the regime will not show “restraint” and that, in an attempt to survive, it will fire back “with all that it has!”
Iran has warned that if struck, it would retaliate more forcefully than during the 12-day war, which resulted in significant damage and casualties in Israel.
♟️ Israeli Intelligence Monitoring Iran: Two Israeli security sources told Yedioth Ahronoth that the Israeli intelligence service Mossad is making continuous efforts to gather information about developments inside Iran.
🛜 Internet Disruption Inside Iran continues: NetBlocks reports that the internet disconnection in Iran has now lasted for more than 300 hours.

🛡️ IDF ENFORCES CEASEFIRE RED LINES WITH HEZBOLLAH STRIKES NEAR SIDON AND TYRE, ELIMINATES GAZAN OPERATIVE APPROACHING TROOPS, AND FOILS DRONE GUN-SMUGGLING FROM EGYPT AS NETANYAHU JOINS TRUMP PEACE COUNCIL
🕑 January 21, 2026 | 12:30 PM
🎯 Southern Lebanon Airstrikes: A short while ago, in response to Hezbollah’s repeated violations of the ceasefire understandings, the IDF struck a Hezbollah operative near the coastal Lebanese city of Sidon. Lebanese media reported the strike targeted a vehicle.
In a second airstrike today, the IDF says it targeted another Hezbollah operative in the Bourj el-Chamali area, near the coastal city of Tyre.
❌ Terrorist Neutralized Near Gaza Border
Overnight, IDF troops identified a Gazan terror operative who crossed the Yellow Line in the southern Gaza Strip and approached Israeli forces. According to the IDF, the individual moved toward soldiers from the 188th Armored Brigade in a way that posed an immediate threat, and the troops opened fire and eliminated the terrorist to remove the threat.
🕊️ Netanyahu joins U.S.-led peace council: The Prime Minister’s Office announced that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accepted an invitation from U.S. President Donald Trump to join the Supreme Peace Council, a forum to be composed of leaders from around the world. Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has also accepted an invitation to join Trump’s “Board of Peace.”
❌ Drone smuggling attempt from Egypt foiled: The IDF said an attempt to smuggle a machine gun into Israel from Egypt using a drone was thwarted yesterday. The drone was detected crossing the border by the Israeli Air Force air traffic control array, and troops from the Paran Regional Brigade downed the device.

🔹 IDF CHIEF REVIEWS IAF READINESS AT NEVATIM AS F-35I FLEET EXPANDS AND STRATEGIC AIRLIFT TO REGION CONTINUES
🕑 January 21, 2026 | 3:30 PM
✈️ IAF READINESS AND FORCE BUILDUP: IDF Chief of the General Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir visited Nevatim Air Base with senior Air Force commanders to review operational readiness, preparedness for sudden escalation, and the ongoing integration of the F-35I “Adir” fighter jet. He said the Israeli Air Force is the IDF’s strategic arm and can strike powerfully in any arena that threatens Israel’s security.
Zamir told pilots that over the past two years of combat, including Operation “Rising Lion,” IAF aircrews have been at the forefront of both offensive and defensive operations in near and distant theaters. He said the operational experience accumulated during the war is unmatched globally and is being systematically analyzed and applied to strengthen Israel’s long-term security.
He confirmed that three additional F-35I “Adir” aircraft joined the Air Force this week, calling their integration a significant milestone in enhancing operational power. Zamir said that, in close coordination with the Intelligence Directorate, IAF pilots continue conducting strikes across the Middle East to remove threats and protect Israeli civilians, and that the IDF remains prepared for a wide range of scenarios.
🛫 STRATEGIC AIRLIFT AND REGIONAL MOVEMENTS: A second cargo flight operated today from the UAE to Israel. A Fly Pro Airlines Boeing 747-243F freighter, registered as ER-BAR and flying under callsign FP9415, departed Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai and landed at Ben Gurion Airport.
Over the past five days, 29 C-17 military transport aircraft and 12 refueling tankers have arrived in the Middle East, particularly in Qatar and Jordan. The tanker movements observed overnight were direct to the Middle East arena rather than stopping at RAF Mildenhall in the UK.
🔶 In parallel, Witkoff said they are negotiating with Iran.

❗️ISRAELI SECURITY FORCES DETAIN SENIOR EXPLOSIVES MANUFACTURER IN TULKAREM, ISSUE EVACUATION WARNINGS AHEAD OF HEZBOLLAH STRIKES, AND DISCIPLINE DUVDEVAN COMMANDERS AFTER NEAR FRIENDLY FIRE INCIDENT
🕑 January 21, 2026 | 04:30 PM
❌ ARREST OF SENIOR EXPLOSIVES MANUFACTURER IN JUDEA AND SAMARIA: Border Police officers detained a Palestinian explosive device manufacturer near Tulkarem in Judea and Samaria, Israeli security forces said. The suspect, Fadi Bahti, was described by police, the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), and the IDF as a central explosives manufacturer in a terror network based in the Tulkarem area. Border Police raided Bahti’s home in the town of Shuweika and detained him. He was then transferred to the Shin Bet for further interrogation.
⚠️ IDF WARNS SOUTHERN LEBANON RESIDENTS AHEAD OF HEZBOLLAH STRIKES: The IDF issued evacuation warnings to residents of several towns in southern Lebanon ahead of airstrikes against Hezbollah infrastructure. “The IDF will attack military infrastructure belonging to the Hezbollah terror organization to address its prohibited attempts to rebuild its activities in the area,” said IDF Arabic-language spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee. The IDF published maps marking sites to be targeted in Qennarit, Kfour, and Jarjouaa. “You are located near buildings used by Hezbollah, and for your own safety you must evacuate them immediately and move at least 300 meters away,” Adraee said.
🪖 DUVDEVAN COMMANDERS DISMISSED AND CENSURED AFTER NEAR FRIENDLY FIRE: The incident took place during a January 11 arrest raid in Nablus, when Duvdevan forces working to detain Palestinians suspected of terror activity mistakenly identified another team from the same unit positioned on a nearby rooftop as an enemy force and opened fire on the building, the IDF said. No injuries were reported. The incident was reported immediately and investigated, with findings later presented to Central Command chief Maj. Gen. Avi Bluth. The probe found that a navigation error led one force to enter a building within the operational sector of a neighboring squadron, triggering the misidentification. The IDF said no additional means were used beyond gunfire toward the structure and the forces were not ultimately in each other’s line of fire. A team commander and a team sergeant were removed from their roles, the latter for opening fire against regulations, while the Duvdevan deputy commander, a squadron commander and deputy, another team commander, and an additional soldier were formally censured. The IDF said operational lessons were implemented and procedures tightened following the incident.

🎯 IDF STRIKE IN CENTRAL GAZA: The IDF says it carried out an airstrike earlier today in the central Gaza Strip targeting several suspects who were operating a drone “affiliated with the Hamas terror group.” The military says the drone posed a threat to Israeli soldiers in the area, and the strike was carried out after troops identified the suspects activating it.

💥 IDF ENFORCES CEASEFIRE RED LINES IN SOUTHERN LEBANON WITH STRIKES ON HEZBOLLAH TARGETS, ELIMINATION OF LIAISON OFFICER ABU ALI SALAMEH, AND PRE-STRIKE EVACUATION WARNINGS IN KHARAYEB AND ANSAR
🕑 January 21, 2026 | 5:30 PM
💥 A short while ago, in response to repeated violations of the ceasefire understandings by Hezbollah, the IDF launched strikes on Hezbollah terror targets in southern Lebanon.
After issuing evacuation warnings in southern Lebanon, the IDF carried out a wave of strikes against Hezbollah sites.
Footage published by Lebanese media shows one of the Israeli strikes hitting a Hezbollah site in the southern Lebanese village of Qennarit
⚠️ Once again, the IDF issued new evacuation warnings in southern Lebanon ahead of strikes on Hezbollah targets.
Residents of the towns of Kharayeb and Ansar were instructed to evacuate at least 300 meters from specific buildings marked on a map published by Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman.
The warnings were issued as the IDF carried out a wave of strikes against Hezbollah sites, after evacuation instructions were given earlier in three other Lebanese towns.
🎯 A short while ago, the IDF struck and eliminated the terrorist Abu Ali Salameh, a Hezbollah liaison officer, in the village of Yanouh in southern Lebanon in the Tyre area. The IDF says he was targeted while driving on a road near the coastal Lebanese city.
According to the IDF, Salameh managed Hezbollah’s activities in Yanouh, enabling the organization to operate within civilian areas and private properties and to embed terrorist infrastructure in the heart of the population through the deliberate exploitation of residents.
On December 13, 2025, Israel submitted a request via the US-led ceasefire oversight and enforcement mechanism for the Lebanese Armed Forces to act against a Hezbollah weapons storage facility in Yanouh. The IDF says Salameh received the report from the Lebanese Armed Forces and passed it on to additional Hezbollah operatives.
"Upon the arrival of the Lebanese Armed Forces, Hezbollah terrorists prevented them from dismantling the infrastructure by creating a gathering that enabled Hezbollah to move the weapons out of the property," the military says.
The IDF says it issued an evacuation warning ahead of a planned strike on the site, then postponed the strike after the Lebanese Armed Forces arrived in an attempt to dismantle the weapons cache.
The military says Salameh then coordinated with the Lebanese Armed Forces to document the site without the weapons, "thereby claiming that the site was empty."
"During the Lebanese Armed Forces' operation, several suspicious boxes were removed from the compound through the rear door of the property," the IDF adds.
The IDF says Salameh’s actions constituted a violation of the understandings and ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon, and states it will continue to act to remove threats and defend the State of Israel.
