๐ฏ IDF RETURNS FIRE AND AIRSTRIKES AFTER GAZA GUNMEN WOUND RESERVE OFFICER, ELIMINATES STONE-THROWING TERRORIST IN JERICHO AMID SMUGGLING ARRESTS AND DIPLOMATIC MOVES WITH AZERBAIJAN, SOMALILAND, AND KURDISH REPRESENTATIVES
๐ February 4, 2026 | 8:30 AM
๐ฅ Gaza Ceasefire Violation and IDF Response: An IDF reserve officer was seriously wounded overnight when Gazan terror operatives opened fire during operations on the Israeli side of the Yellow Line in the northern Gaza Strip. He was evacuated to a hospital and his family was notified.
After identifying the fire, IDF armored units and Israeli Air Force aircraft conducted precise strikes in the area. The IDF described the attack as a "blatant violation" of the ceasefire. Gazan media reported at least nine dead in Israeli strikes overnight, including six in northern Gaza, where the IDF said it returned fire against gunmen who attacked troops.
๐ซ Gaza Governance Dispute: The Prime Ministerโs Office said the logo presented to Israel for the Committee for the Management of Gaza (NCAG) was completely different from the one later published. The PMO said Israel will not accept the use of the Palestinian Authority emblem and that the Palestinian Authority will not be a partner in the management of Gaza.
โ Jericho Stone-Throwing Attack: During operational activity in Jericho in Judea and Samaria, soldiers identified several terrorists who threw stones at forces. Troops responded with live fire, eliminating one terrorist and hitting additional terrorists.
No Israeli soldiers were injured. The Palestinian Authority health ministry identified the slain individual as Said al-Sheikh, 24, and said three others were wounded by IDF fire in the incident.
โ ๏ธ Smuggling Cell Apprehended Near Western Border: In a joint operation involving the IDF, Israel Border Police, and the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), a cell of Israeli smugglers was apprehended near the western border after being identified by IDF observation posts. Three suspects were detained following a pursuit, along with off-road vehicles and drone equipment used by them.
The suspects were transferred to the Israel Police for further processing. The IDF said it will continue operating with the security apparatus to prevent additional smuggling attempts and ensure the stability and safety of the State of Israel.
๐ค Diplomatic and Regional Developments
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu invited Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev to visit Jerusalem, stating: "Send my warmest greetings to President Aliyev. We always say, 'Next year in Jerusalem' โ tell him, 'This year in Jerusalem'. Let him come and visit us. He will be very warmly received".
Israel and Azerbaijan signed a Memorandum of Understanding in the field of artificial intelligence. Netanyahu described it as "another step forward in building closer relations between the two countries".
Somaliland said it expects to sign a trade partnership with Israel and may offer access to mineral resources such as lithium in return for Israeli technology and investment. Talks are ongoing and no deal is final yet.
๐ค Kurdish Delegation Meeting in Jerusalem: Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Minister Amichai Chikli announced meetings in Jerusalem with representatives of DAANES/Syrian Democratic Forces. Chikli said Israel stands with the Kurdish minority in Rojava and hosted Azad Khalil at the Knesset, bringing him together with MK Afif Abed and MK Amit Halevi.
๐ช IDF Arabic Spokesperson Leadership Change: Maj. Ella Waweya has been selected to replace Col. Avichay Adraee as the IDFโs Arabic-language spokesperson. Waweya, known as "Captain Ella," has served in the IDF since 2013 and currently serves as Adraeeโs deputy. Adraee, who served as the Arabic-language spokesman for the past 20 years, is set to retire. Waweya will be promoted to lieutenant colonel, and a handover ceremony is expected to take place in the coming weeks.

โผ๏ธ TRUMP CONSIDERS EXITING IRAN TALKS AFTER MARITIME INCIDENTS AS NEGOTIATIONS SHIFT TO OMAN, ISRAEL WARNS OF POWERFUL RETALIATION AND INTELLIGENCE SIGNALS HEZBOLLAH AND HOUTHI PREPARATIONS
๐ February 4, 2026 | 9:30 AM
โ ๏ธ U.S. Considers Withdrawal While Talks Continue: U.S. officials told The Wall Street Journal that President Trump considered withdrawing from negotiations due to Iranโs aggressive actions, including maritime incidents.
The Friday meeting between Iran and the United States remains scheduled, though details and the venue are still being discussed.
๐ธ Talks Expected to Move to Oman: An Iranian diplomatic source told Al Jazeera that Muscat is likely to host the upcoming talks instead of Turkey.
"[Omani capital] Muscat is likely to host the upcoming talks with Washington, rather than Turkey. We thank the countries of the region for their efforts to find a solution to the dispute between Tehran and Washington and to reduce tensions".
The Trump administration reportedly agreed to an Iranian request to relocate the talks to Oman on Friday. Discussions are still ongoing over whether Arab and Muslim countries from the region will participate in the talks in Oman.
๐ธ Regional Source Warns of โLast Chanceโ Diplomacy: A Middle Eastern source said negotiations could be Iranโs final opportunity for diplomacy before potential strikes. The source added, โStriking Iran is a lose-lose for all.โ
๐ซ A U.S. official said the IRGC canceled a live-fire exercise planned for Sunday and Monday in the Strait of Hormuz after a warning from the U.S. military.
โผ๏ธ Israel Briefs Witkoff, Warns of Unusually Powerful Retaliation: Sources familiar with the meeting between U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, Prime Minister Netanyahu, and Israelโs security establishment said it was conducted in an extremely positive and productive atmosphere. The meeting included a thorough intelligence briefing led by IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir.
Israeli officials warned in the meeting that Iran has no intention of compromising on its nuclear ambitions and that negotiations are being used to buy time and stop an attack. Zamir said that any strike against Israel would be met with an immediate and unusually powerful response, including strikes against unexpected targets.
โผ๏ธ The IDF Northern Command assesses that if the United States attacks Iran, Hezbollah will join the war.
โ ๏ธ Intelligence Warns of Houthi Preparations to Resume Attacks on U.S. Ships: Intelligence passed to Washington warns the Iran-backed Houthis are preparing to resume attacks on U.S. ships in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea. Yemeni sources say the Houthis are relocating missile and drone depots and holding intensive military discussions, reportedly in preparation for possible strikes on U.S. vessels as Iran ramps up threats through its terror proxies.
Notably, the Houthis have avoided attacking U.S. ships since a May agreement brokered by Oman following months of American strikes.

๐จ U.S.-IRAN NUCLEAR TALKS COLLAPSE AFTER TEHRAN REFUSES MISSILE AND PROXY DISCUSSIONS AS PRESIDENT TRUMP THREATENS MILITARY ACTION AND ISRAEL SIGNALS PREPARATIONS TO STRIKE IRANโS NUCLEAR AND BALLISTIC MISSILE PROGRAMS
๐ February 4, 2026 | 9:30 PM
โผ๏ธ US-Iran Talks Collapse Over Scope of Negotiations: Nuclear talks planned for Friday were canceled after Iran refused to expand discussions beyond the nuclear issue. US officials rejected Iranโs request to change the location and format of the talks, including moving them from Istanbul to Muscat and excluding ballistic missiles and proxy network issues.
A senior US official told Axios: "We told them 'it is this or nothing', and they said, 'Ok, then nothing'." The official added: "If the Iranians are willing to go back to the original format, the U.S. is ready to meet this week or next week. We want to reach a real deal quickly or people will look at other options".
Senior US officials told Israeli Channel 12 that the talks were canceled due to Iranโs refusal to discuss non-nuclear issues.
Iranian officials reiterated that they will only negotiate the nuclear file. A senior Iranian official told Reuters: "Talks with the US in Oman will focus only on the nuclear issue โ the missile program is not on the table". An Iranian official told Reuters: "The American insistence on discussing non-nuclear issues puts the talks at risk. Tehran is fully prepared to hold talks with Washington solely on the nuclear issue".
Iranian sources told Al-Araby that mediators are making efforts to resolve the situation and that contacts are still ongoing. An Iranian source told al-Mayadeen: "The US-Iran talks collapsed โ it's a gap that cannot be bridged," adding, "We will not allow the raising of demands outside the framework of the nuclear issue in negotiations with Washington. Iran is still ready to negotiate. Iran is more prepared militarily than diplomatically, and its finger is on the trigger".
๐จ President Trump Issues Direct Warnings to Iran: President Trump said: "[Iranian Supreme Leader] Khamenei should be worried". He also said: "I heard that Iran is trying to restart its nuclear program, and we will send fighter jets again if they do that".
President Trump added: "We discovered that the Iranians were planning to build a new nuclear site in another area. We found out about it. I said, 'If you do that, we're going to do very bad things to you'".
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said: "For talks to lead to something significant, they must also address Iran's ballistic missile program". Rubio added: "I'm not sure if we'll be able to reach an agreement with the Iranians".
US officials told Reuters: "President Trump is now leaning towards military action in Iran".
โ ๏ธ Israel Signals Readiness to Strike Iranian Strategic Programs: After the collapse of talks, Israeli officials estimate a high chance of a US attack on Iran. Arab mediators tried this evening to persuade Iran to agree to discuss additional issues, but Iranian officials had already told them yesterday that they are only ready to discuss the nuclear issue.
Israeli assessments state that Israel will attack Iranโs ballistic missile program at the first operational opportunity. Israeli assessments also state that Israel intends to target every component of Iranโs nuclear project, with expectations that the IDF will strike sooner or later.

โ ๏ธ US-IRAN TALKS PROCEED IN OMAN AMID IRAN SHIFT TO OFFENSIVE DOCTRINE, U.S. PREPARES ADDITIONAL CARRIER DEPLOYMENT AND REGIONAL CAMPAIGN, IDF UPDATES YEMEN TARGET BANK AS HOUTHI THREATS RISE
๐ February 4, 2026 | 10:30 PM
๐ธ US-IRAN TALKS AND REGIONAL PRESSURE: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqhchi: "Nuclear talks with the US are scheduled to be held in Muscat on about 10 am Friday. I'm grateful to our Omani brothers for making all necessary arrangements".
The U.S. agreed to hold talks in Oman on Friday following heavy pressure from Arab and Muslim state leaders, after at least nine Middle Eastern countries urged the Trump administration not to cancel the meeting.
An Iranian Member of Parliament appealed to Araqhchi: "Mr. Araghchi, we expect a preemptive attack on the enemy, not negotiations."
An Iranian official told Tasnim News Agency: "The Americans are constantly changing their statements, and the crisis is not about changing the venue of the talks. Diplomacy requires steadfastness of opinion and seriousness, not constant change influenced by Israel's war-mongering tendencies".
The White House told Al Jazeera: "Nothing so far about the negotiations with Iran, and the situation might change by the end of the day".
โ ๏ธ IRAN MILITARY POSTURE AND SIGNALS: Iranian Chief of Staff Abdolrahim Mousavi: "We have changed our military doctrine from defense to offense, and we adopt a policy of asymmetric warfare. We are ready for any action by our enemies".
Iranian state television canceled a planned broadcast presenting a new missile complex, citing "security and military considerations".
โ๏ธ US FORCE BUILDUP AND CAMPAIGN PREPARATION: Israel assesses that the United States is seeking to assemble additional forces in the region ahead of a potential strike on Iran.
U.S. officials are working to deploy another aircraft carrier to the area, citing a view that current aircraft levels are insufficient. They assess the buildup is intended for a broader campaign rather than one or two strikes.
NATO Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany has reportedly shifted to 24/7 operations as the operational tempo supporting movements to the Middle East increases.
โผ๏ธ HOUTHI THREAT AND ISRAELI PREPARATIONS: Anti-Houthi Yemeni sources provided intelligence to the United States warning that the Houthis are preparing to resume attacks on U.S. ships in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea if Washington attacks Iran.
According to the intelligence, the Houthis are relocating missile and drone depots and holding intensive military discussions in preparation for potential strikes on U.S. vessels.
Israel is preparing for a potential renewed attack from Yemen if the United States launches military action against Iran. IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir held discussions on the Houthi issue and instructed the IDF to update the target bank in Yemen, in coordination with the Intelligence Directorate and the Air Force.
๐ฎ๐ฑ ISRAELI LEADERSHIP COORDINATION: Prime Minister Netanyahuโs Press Office announced a security cabinet meeting for tomorrow.

โ ๏ธ ISRAEL INTEGRATES ADVANCED DEFENSIVE SYSTEMS INTO NEW CH-53K FLEET, EXPANDS OFFICER SECURITY AND REGIONAL LIAISON ROLES, CONTINUES HEZBOLLAH TARGETING IN LEBANON AMID IRAN TENSIONS
๐ Defense Ministry Signs Major CH-53K Upgrade Deal: Israelโs Ministry of Defense signed a deal worth over โช400 million with Elbit Systems to integrate advanced Israeli technologies into the new CH-53K โPereโ heavy transport helicopters. The package includes command and control, avionics, electronic warfare, warning systems, and advanced missile defense (DIRCM).
The upgrades will be installed on 12 helicopters purchased to replace the aging Yasur fleet. The helicopters were acquired through a U.S. Foreign Military Sales agreement and are currently being assembled by Lockheed Martin-Sikorsky in Connecticut before a dedicated Israeli modification process integrates operational systems tailored to Israeli Air Force mission requirements.
The upgrades are expected to improve cockpit capabilities and support safer operations in complex environments. They are also intended to enhance landing zone identification and obstacle detection.
Defense officials said the project is a key part of Israelโs multi-year force-build plan, including new aircraft, refueling platforms, and advanced weapons systems. They added that integrating Israeli technologies is intended to maintain operational superiority, strengthen domestic defense industry capabilities, ensure supply continuity, and enhance pilot safety and mission performance.
โ ๏ธ Security Increased for Israeli Officers Amid Iran Threats: Amid concerns over retaliation by Iran and allied groups following Israeli assassinations, a significant number of Israeli officers have received enhanced security protection. The IDF also decided to expand the unit responsible for safeguarding senior military officers and Israeli military delegations abroad.
๐ฃ๏ธ U.S. Requests Restraint Toward Iran During Negotiations: The United States asked Israel to refrain from attacking Iran while negotiations remain ongoing.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said: "The situation with Iran is on the verge of an explosion that will engulf the entire Middle East".
๐ฑA recent Shin Bet report said security forces detected Israelis who initiated contact with Iranian agents and offered to work for them in exchange for money.
โ ๏ธ Hezbollah-Linked Report Cites Syrian Threat and Border Concerns: Hezbollah-affiliated outlet Al-Akhbar reported that Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa told close associates during a closed meeting: "Hezbollah's turn has come; we will not forget our revenge".
The report said Beirut fears potential military activity along the LebaneseโSyrian border and the possibility that a strike on Iran could be exploited to open a new front against Lebanon.
๐ฏ IDF Operations Continue in Southern Lebanon Against Hezbollah Rebuild Efforts: Troops are operating in southern Lebanon to prevent Hezbollah from reestablishing capabilities.

๐ Defense Ministry Signs Major CH-53K Upgrade Deal: Israelโs Ministry of Defense signed a deal worth over โช400 million with Elbit Systems to integrate advanced Israeli technologies into the new CH-53K โPereโ heavy transport helicopters. The package includes command and control, avionics, electronic warfare, warning systems, and advanced missile defense (DIRCM).
The upgrades will be installed on 12 helicopters purchased to replace the aging Yasur fleet. The helicopters were acquired through a U.S. Foreign Military Sales agreement and are currently being assembled by Lockheed Martin-Sikorsky in Connecticut before a dedicated Israeli modification process integrates operational systems tailored to Israeli Air Force mission requirements.
The upgrades are expected to improve cockpit capabilities and support safer operations in complex environments. They are also intended to enhance landing zone identification and obstacle detection.
Defense officials said the project is a key part of Israelโs multi-year force-build plan, including new aircraft, refueling platforms, and advanced weapons systems. They added that integrating Israeli technologies is intended to maintain operational superiority, strengthen domestic defense industry capabilities, ensure supply continuity, and enhance pilot safety and mission performance.
โ ๏ธ Security Increased for Israeli Officers Amid Iran Threats: Amid concerns over retaliation by Iran and allied groups following Israeli assassinations, a significant number of Israeli officers have received enhanced security protection. The IDF also decided to expand the unit responsible for safeguarding senior military officers and Israeli military delegations abroad.
๐ฃ๏ธ U.S. Requests Restraint Toward Iran During Negotiations: The United States asked Israel to refrain from attacking Iran while negotiations remain ongoing.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said: "The situation with Iran is on the verge of an explosion that will engulf the entire Middle East".
๐ฑA recent Shin Bet report said security forces detected Israelis who initiated contact with Iranian agents and offered to work for them in exchange for money.
โ ๏ธ Hezbollah-Linked Report Cites Syrian Threat and Border Concerns: Hezbollah-affiliated outlet Al-Akhbar reported that Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa told close associates during a closed meeting: "Hezbollah's turn has come; we will not forget our revenge".
The report said Beirut fears potential military activity along the LebaneseโSyrian border and the possibility that a strike on Iran could be exploited to open a new front against Lebanon.
๐ฏ IDF Operations Continue in Southern Lebanon Against Hezbollah Rebuild Efforts: Troops are operating in southern Lebanon to prevent Hezbollah from reestablishing capabilities. This year, the unitโs troops eliminated approximately 60 Hezbollah terrorists and dismantled dozens of terrorist structures, weapons storage facilities, and observation posts.
The unitโs observation command centers also assisted in directing ground and aerial fire in hundreds of focused operations in southern Lebanon.

โ๏ธISRAEL POLICE AND SHIN BET DISMANTLE GAZA AID-ROUTE SMUGGLING NETWORK WITH INDICTMENTS FILED AS ISRAELI SUSPECTS ARRESTED AND SENTENCED IN SEPARATE IRANIAN ESPIONAGE CASES
๐ February 5, 2026 | 3:00 PM
โ๏ธ Israeli authorities announced the completion of an investigation into a coordinated smuggling network that exploited ceasefire humanitarian aid routes to transfer prohibited goods into Gaza. The joint Shin Bet and Israel Police operation led to the arrest of Israeli citizens, residents of Judea and Samaria, and Gaza residents suspected of organizing and executing smuggling operations. Investigators said the suspects used the large-scale aid flow during the ceasefire to move prohibited goods through multiple channels, despite awareness that such activity could directly strengthen terrorist organizations, particularly Hamas.
Authorities stated that interrogations uncovered a broad, organized infrastructure involving dozens of individuals who coordinated the smuggling of goods and equipment into Gaza. Security officials warned that such operations provide financial and logistical support that helps Hamas and other terrorist organizations rebuild military and civilian infrastructure, restore command-and-control capabilities, recruit and train operatives, and potentially establish routes that could later be used for weapons smuggling or operational attacks against Israeli forces.
The State Prosecutorโs Office filed indictments against 12 suspects and a company allegedly involved in the operation. Charges include assisting the enemy during wartime, dealing in property for terrorism-related purposes, aggravated fraud, bribery, tax offenses, and additional economic crimes. Prosecutors also requested asset confiscation linked to the alleged profits generated through the smuggling network.
The case includes Bezalel Zini, brother of the head of the Shin Bet, with a separate indictment expected. According to prosecutors, Zini, a reservist involved in logistical support for convoy operations entering Gaza, allegedly carried out three cigarette-smuggling operations through the Sufa crossing, receiving approximately 365,000 shekels. Additional suspects include reservist Aviel Ben David and Amir Dov Halperin, who are accused of multiple smuggling operations totaling millions of shekels, with profits allegedly shared among network members. Prosecutors stated the defendants knowingly bypassed wartime restrictions and understood that the goods could reach Hamas or its agents. Ziniโs detention has been extended for two additional weeks while legal proceedings continue.
โ๏ธ Two Israelis arrested for espionage on behalf of Iran: Authorities arrested two 20-year-old Israeli residents from the Jerusalem area on suspicion of spying for Iranian intelligence. The suspects allegedly received payments through digital wallets in exchange for their activities.
โ๏ธ Beit Shemesh resident sentenced in separate Iran espionage case: Elimelech Stern from Beit Shemesh was sentenced to three years in prison after being convicted of spying for Iran.

๐ฏ IDF ELIMINATES HAMAS NUKHBA COMMANDER INVOLVED IN OCTOBER 7 MASSACRE, ISLAMIC JIHAD NORTHERN GAZA BRIGADE COMMANDER, AND HAMAS CELL HEAD RESPONSIBLE FOR MURDER OF IDF OBSERVER AMID CEASEFIRE VIOLATIONS
๐ฏ Multiple terrorist operatives eliminated in Gaza operations: IDF troops operating in southern Gaza identified a terrorist who approached the Yellow Line and moved toward the forces, posing an imminent threat. Guided by ground troops, the IDF eliminated the terrorist to remove the danger.
The IDF and Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) said Israeli forces carried out a targeted strike in southern Gaza eliminating Hamas terrorist Bilal Abu Assi, a Nukhba platoon commander who led the infiltration into Kibbutz Nir Oz during the October 7 massacre. The operation followed what the IDF described as a blatant overnight ceasefire violation in northern Gaza, during which terrorists opened fire on IDF troops and severely wounded a reserve officer.
According to the joint statement, Abu Assi played a central role in the October 7 attack that resulted in the murder and abduction of dozens of civilians. The IDF assesses he likely participated in holding deceased hostages during the war and continued directing attacks against Israeli forces throughout the conflict.
The IDF acknowledged reports that uninvolved civilians, including a medical staff member, may have been harmed in the strike. The military said it used surveillance and precision munitions to reduce civilian casualties and expressed regret for any unintended harm.
In a separate targeted strike, the IDF and Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) announced the elimination of Ali Raziana, Commander of the Islamic Jihad Northern Gaza Brigade. They said Raziana directed terrorist deployments, oversaw the brigadeโs defensive combat strategy, served on the organizationโs military council, and coordinated with Hamas to advance and execute attacks against IDF forces.
The statement said that during the war Raziana oversaw the captivity of hostages held by Islamic Jihad in northern Gaza. Since the ceasefire began, he had been working to rebuild and restore the brigadeโs operational capabilities.
The IDF and Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) also announced the elimination of Muhammad Issam Hassan al-Habil, head of a Hamas terrorist cell, following Hamasโ overnight ceasefire violation. According to Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) interrogations, al-Habil brutally murdered IDF observer Corporal Noa Marciano while she was held hostage in Gaza after being abducted from the Nahal Oz outpost during the October 7 Hamas massacre.
The IDF said intelligence gathered by Gaza Division 143, where Marciano served, helped locate and target the terrorist. Israeli security officials said the operation represents a measure of justice for Marcianoโs family and that forces will continue operating against terrorist operatives and infrastructure in Gaza in response to attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers, while continuing efforts to minimize civilian harm.
โ๏ธ IDF releases footage showing Hamas exploitation of ambulances for terrorism: During IDF activity in the Jabaliya area of northern Gaza, routine drone surveillance along the Yellow Line documented armed Hamas terrorists repeatedly using ambulances to transport terrorists and weapons from a hospital to a school.
The IDF said this is further evidence of systematic exploitation of emergency systems and medical infrastructure by Hamas, including disguising operatives as civilians to advance terrorist activity. The military said it will continue to act in accordance with international law regarding medical facilities and educational institutions, despite Hamas embedding terrorist infrastructure within them.
โ ๏ธ Defense Minister warns Hamas to disarm: Defense Minister Israel Katz said, "If Hamas does not disarm in accordance with the agreed framework, we will dismantle it and all of its capabilities".

๐ก๏ธ U.S. BUILDS MILITARY PRESSURE AND OPENS OMAN TALKS WITH IRAN AS ISRAEL PREPARES POTENTIAL STRIKE ON IRANIAN MISSILE PROGRAM, IRGC SEIZES FUEL TANKERS IN GULF, AND IDF STRIKES HEZBOLLAH TARGETS IN LEBANON
๐ February 5, 2026 | 7:00 PM
โผ๏ธ U.S. military pressure and negotiations with Iran: U.S. President Trump said, "Iran is negotiating today because they are afraid of our fleet. We have a large fleet heading there. Iran is negotiating today because they don't want to be hit. They don't want us to hit them". The U.S. military also released footage from the aircraft carrier Lincoln.
The U.S. and Iran made small concessions and agreed to hold talks in Oman, meet directly, focus on the nuclear program, and also discuss missiles and militant groups toward a possible deal. Iranian officials denied agreeing to talks on the ballistic missile program and support for militant groups, insisting negotiations should focus solely on the nuclear program.
โ ๏ธ Israeli leadership discussions and military posture toward Iran: Israelโs cabinet is scheduled to convene today to discuss Iran. The vote on the Arrangements Law was postponed to Monday under pressure from the ultra-Orthodox parties, who are demanding progress on the Draft Law.
According to participants in a Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee discussion, Prime Minister Netanyahu said there is a gathering of a critical mass to bring down the Iranian regime but that he does not know if it is enough to achieve a result. He said Israel is prepared for a very harsh blow against Iran, far beyond what was done in Operation Protective Edge, and added he does not know what Trump will ultimately decide to do, but that they are in very close contact at all levels.
Regarding Egypt, Netanyahu said Egyptโs army is strengthening and that Israel must closely monitor and prevent an arms buildup. Merav Michaeli quipped: we wonโt allow Egypt to strengthen, except when it comes to purchasing submarines.
โ Israeli Channel 14 journalist Yaakov Bardugo said the U.S. has given Israel the "green light" to take action against Iran's ballistic missile program. According to him, Israel may act independently.
โ๏ธ Iranian military messaging and IRGC maritime enforcement: Iranian Army Spokesman Mohammad Akraminia said, "It is easy for our armed forces to reach American bases, which further weakens them. Our message is clear and we have repeatedly stated it: we are fully prepared to defend Iran with determination and seriousness".
๐ข๏ธ The IRGC seized two oil tankers in the Gulf that were allegedly carrying over one million liters of smuggled fuel and detained 15 foreign crew members.
๐ฅ IDF strikes Hezbollah targets in Lebanon: The Israeli Air Force carried out a series of airstrikes on southern Lebanon. In response to Hezbollahโs repeated violations of the ceasefire understandings, the IDF is striking Hezbollah terror targets in several areas in Lebanon.

โ ๏ธ U.S. SIGNALS MILITARY OPTION AGAINST IRAN AS NEGOTIATIONS PROCEED, AMERICAN AIRLIFT SURGES, IRAN THREATENS TO STRIKE ISRAEL AND UNVEILS HYPERSONIC MISSILE
๐ February 5, 2026 | 10:30 PM
๐ธ U.S. leadership signals diplomacy first but keeps military option open: Vice President Vance said President Trump "will try to get what he can through non-military means โ but if he feels the military option is the only one, he will choose that option."
President Trump is expected to make a statement today at 7:00 PM Washington time.
๐ฐ U.S. officials claim internal Iranian financial pressure is increasing: U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant said, "We have seen that the Iranian leadership is taking money out of the country like crazy. The rats are abandoning the ship. This is a good sign that they know the end may be near".
๐ซ American strategic airlift activity to the Middle East continues: Ten U.S. C-17A transport aircraft flew in recent hours between U.S. bases in Germany and U.S. bases in the Middle East, described as an unusual concentration over a short timeframe. Since January 18 through yesterday, 84 flights of C-17A transport aircraft and five flights of C-5M strategic transport aircraft have been recorded operating in the region.
โ ๏ธ Iranian officials issue direct threats toward Israel and U.S. forces: IRGC General Hossein Daghighi said, โOur Main Goal Is to Drive America Out of the Region; If the U.S. Attacks Iran, We Will Strike Israel First and Target All American Bases โ Washington Returned to Negotiations Out of Fear of the Iranian Peopleโs Capabilities.โ
๐ Iran presents hypersonic missile capability as negotiations proceed: Yadallah Javani, political advisor to the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, said the unveiling of the Khorramshahr 4 hypersonic missile is a message to the United States that negotiations do not signal abandonment of military capabilities. According to Iranโs Fars news agency, the Khorramshahr 4 has entered operational use in Iranโs missile cities.
Missile specifications reported by Iranian sources: Fars reported the Khorramshahr 4 reaches a speed of Mach 16, carries a 1.5-ton warhead, has a reported accuracy of 30 meters, a low signature profile, and a maneuvering warhead described as difficult to detect by radar systems.
๐ธ Diplomatic efforts continue ahead of expected talks: U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff arrived in Muscat, Oman, ahead of negotiations with Iran expected to take place there tomorrow.
๐ธ Al Jazeera reports a proposed negotiation framework: Al Jazeera said it obtained a framework proposed by Turkey, Qatar, and Egypt that includes Iran committing to zero uranium enrichment for three years, then enrichment below 1.5%. It also includes transferring Iranโs most enriched uranium stockpile to a third country, a commitment not to transfer weapons and technology to regional proxies, a commitment not to be the first to launch ballistic missiles, and a U.S.โIran non-aggression pact.

โ ๏ธ IDF COUNTERTERROR OPERATIONS ACROSS JUDEA AND SAMARIA; STRIKES IN GAZA AND LEBANON FOLLOW CEASEFIRE VIOLATIONS; ISRAELI CIVILIANS APPREHENDED AFTER CROSSING INTO GAZA; TURKEY ARRESTS TWO ALLEGED MOSSAD SPIES
๐ February 6, 2026 | 1:00 PM
๐ช IDF OPERATIONS IN JUDEA AND SAMARIA: IDF forces conducted coordinated counter-terror operations across Judea and Samaria, arresting approximately 60 wanted suspects and seizing firearms, weapon parts, and terror-related equipment.
In the Menasha Brigade sector, troops arrested 15 suspects, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad operatives involved in manufacturing explosives. Forces seized M16 rifles, weapon components, and military equipment.
In the Etzion Brigade sector, security forces carried out over 100 offensive counter-terror activities and demolished the home of the terrorist responsible for the deadly Gush Junction attack that killed Shalev Zablouni. Additional weapons, including an M16 rifle, were confiscated.
In the Binyamin and Ephraim Brigade sectors, forces conducted targeted raids in Beit Liqya and Qalqilya, arresting suspects linked to weapons trafficking and Hamas activity.
In the Judea Brigade sector, battalion-level operations in Hebron and nearby villages led to the seizure of a handgun, ammunition, and funds designated for terror financing.
In the Shomron Brigade sector, forces operated in multiple locations, including Burqa, questioned dozens of suspects, and confiscated weapon parts and Hamas flags.
๐ฅ Gaza Ceasefire Violation and IDF Strike: Terrorists fired shots toward IDF troops operating in the northern Gaza Strip near the Yellow Line. No IDF injuries were reported.
The terrorists' fire constitutes a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement. In response, the IDF precisely struck terror infrastructure in the Gaza Strip.
๐ฎ๐ฑ Israeli Civilians Apprehended Near Gaza Border: Hundreds of Israeli settlers from the Nachala organization protested near the Gaza border inside a closed military zone to demand the reestablishment of settlements evacuated in 2005.
IDF troops and police were dispatched after some protesters crossed into the Gaza Strip. A number of Israeli civilians crossed from Israeli territory into Gaza, were apprehended, and returned safely to Israeli territory before being transferred to the Israel Police for further handling.
Over the last several hours, hundreds of Israeli civilians attempted to approach the border fence located inside the closed military zone where civilian entry is prohibited. IDF troops and the Israel Police are deployed in the area and are operating to prevent civilians from approaching or crossing the fence.
The IDF stated that approaching the border fence and crossing into the Gaza Strip is dangerous and disrupts security forcesโ operational activity in the area. The IDF strongly condemned actions that divert commanders and soldiers from their primary mission of defense and counterterrorism.
๐ฅ IDF Strikes Hezbollah Sites in Lebanon: Last night, the IDF struck tunnel shafts used for weapons storage at several Hezbollah military sites across Lebanon. Following the strikes, secondary explosions were identified, indicating the presence of weapons in the area.
Over the past several months, Hezbollah terrorist activity was identified at the sites, constituting a violation of the ceasefire understandings between Israel and Lebanon.
โช๏ธ Turkey Arrests Two Individuals Accused of Spying for Mossad: The Turkish National Intelligence Organization (MIT) announced the arrest of two individuals in Istanbul for allegedly spying on behalf of the Israeli intelligence service Mossad.
The individuals were reportedly recruited in January 2013 and collected information on Palestinians and Palestinian activists in Turkey and several undisclosed European countries between 2013 and 2026.

โ ๏ธ IDF CONFIRMS NO CHANGE TO CIVILIAN DIRECTIVES AMID IRAN TENSIONS WHILE FORCES MAINTAIN DEFENSIVE AND OFFENSIVE READINESS ACROSS ALL BORDERS
๐ February 6, 2026 | 3:30 PM
๐ช Public guidelines remain unchanged amid ongoing tensions with Iran: IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin stated that there are currently no changes to military guidelines for the Israeli public.
IDF maintains full operational readiness across all fronts: "As in previous weeks, I wish to emphasize: IDF troops are prepared both defensively and offensively along all the countryโs borders. There is no change in the directives, and we will know to update as needed should there be any change,".
๐ก๏ธ Home Front Command status: Home Front Command instructions remain unchanged at this time as noted. In long-range missile scenarios originating from Yemen or Iran, missiles travel roughly 1,600โ2,000 kilometers, and early alerts may be issued several minutes before impact, ahead of the standard red alert siren.
โฑ๏ธ Warning time differences: Unlike short-range rocket fire from Gaza or Lebanon, where red alerts typically provide about 15 seconds to 1.5 minutes to reach shelter, long-range missile threats involve earlier notification through alert systems before the usual siren. This creates a clear pikuach nefesh (life-saving) requirement to receive alerts on Shabbat.
๐ป Shabbat-approved silent broadcasts: Radio and TV stations switch to silent broadcast mode on Shabbat, activating only for emergency alerts and official instructions, including guidance such as whether to remain indoors. If you do not have a radio or TV, these broadcasts can also be accessed via live streams on a phone or computer. It is strongly recommended to use both a silent radio or TV source and an alert app or website.
๐ก Silent radio options:
- Kol Chai: 92.8 / 93 / 102.5 FM
- Kol Barama: 92.1 / 104.3 / 105.7 / 107.6 FM
- Galei Israel: 89.3 / 94 / 106.5 FM
All stations provide live online streams.
๐บ Silent TV option: Channel 14 provides silent emergency broadcasts, with a live stream available and Android and iPhone apps. Ad blockers must be disabled for alerts to function properly. There is no officially designated silent English-language broadcast channel.
๐ฑ Home Front Command app: Shabbat and Holiday Mode: The Home Front Command app includes a dedicated โShabbat and Holiday Mode,โ which should be activated before Shabbat. When enabled, the screen remains active so alerts and official instructions can be viewed without touching the device. This allows users to see alert zones, time to reach a protected space, and updated guidance according to location.
To activate: Open the Home Front Command app โ Settings โ Alert Modes โ Turn on โShabbat and Holiday Mode.โ
๐ Preparation guidance: Fully charge your phone before Shabbat and ensure all alert methods, including the Home Front Command app and silent broadcasts, are set up and tested in advance.
โ ๏ธ Bottom line: Due to immediate risk to life, monitoring alerts on Shabbat is permitted and required. Prepare in advance and stay safe.
๐ Israel Realtime does not post news updates during the holy Shabbat, except in true emergencies where life-saving information must be shared. There will be no non-emergency posts from sundown Friday until nightfall Saturday.
Wishing all our subscribers a peaceful, restorative, and restful Shabbat. Shabbat Shalom ๐

๐ฅ IDF ISSUES GAZA EVACUATION WARNING AHEAD OF STRIKE ON HAMAS INFRASTRUCTURE AS ISRAEL APPROVES CONTINGENCY PLANS FOR POSSIBLE IRAN OPERATION
๐ February 6, 2026 | 4:30 PM
๐ฅ IDF warns civilians ahead of Gaza strike: The IDF issued an evacuation warning for a building in Gaza City's Zeitoun neighborhood ahead of an airstrike targeting "Hamas terror infrastructure." The IDF said the building contains or is located near Hamas infrastructure.
Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF's Arabic-language spokesman, warned: "The IDF will attack the building in the near future due to the presence of Hamas terror infrastructure inside it or in its vicinity." Civilians in the area were instructed to distance themselves at least 100 meters from the site.
Palestinian media later reported that an Israeli airstrike targeted a three-story residential building in the same neighborhood. Footage published by Palestinian media shows the moment of the strike against the building the IDF said contained "Hamas terror infrastructure."
๐ธ U.S.-Iran negotiations in Oman pause with agreement to continue: Negotiations between the United States and Iran in Oman have ended for now, according to an Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman. Another round of talks is expected to take place in the coming days.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqhchi said regarding negotiations with the U.S.: "The atmosphere was positive. There is an agreement to continue negotiations in general. If this track continues between the two sides, it will enable us in the upcoming sessions to establish a clearer framework for negotiations."
โ๏ธ Israel reviews military contingency plans regarding Iran: Israeli Air Force Commander Tomer Bar and IDF Intelligence Directorate (AMAN) chief Shlomi Binder held a meeting to discuss escalating tensions with Iran. During the meeting, they approved operational plans for a possible Israeli operation in Iran if Israel is attacked.
โ๏ธ Explosions reported near Iranian oil facility: In Ardabil, northwestern Iran, a series of unexplained explosions was reported. A heavy column of smoke was observed near the cityโs oil warehouse following the incidents.
๐ถ Organizers announce new Gaza flotilla attempt: Organizers of the "Freedom Flotillas" to Gaza announced a new flotilla planned for March 29. The initiative is expected to include around 100 boats and ships carrying more than 1,000 participants from approximately 100 countries.
Organizers said participants are expected to include "doctors, medical staff, educators, engineers, construction teams, and genocide researchers."

โ ๏ธ U.S.โIRAN NUCLEAR TALKS CONTINUE IN OMAN AS TEHRAN REJECTS ENRICHMENT LIMITS, THREATENS MISSILE STRIKES ON U.S. REGIONAL BASES, AND WASHINGTON ISSUES CITIZEN EVACUATION ADVISORY
๐ February 7, 2026 | 9:00 PM
๐ธ Status of U.S.โIran Negotiations in Oman: U.S.-Iran talks in Oman ended yesterday, with another round expected in the coming days. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqhchi said: "The atmosphere was positive. There is an agreement to continue negotiations in general. If this track continues between the two sides, it will enable us in the upcoming sessions to establish a clearer framework for negotiations".
Araqhchi also said: "The subject of our talks is limited to the nuclear issue, and we are not conducting any dialogue with the Americans on any other subject".
Araqhchi warned: "I told the American negotiators yesterday that you have two options for us: war and diplomacy. Our choice is diplomacy, and we hope the US will choose diplomacy as well. If the US launches an attack against us, we have no ability to attack its territory. Therefore, we will attack American bases located in the region, and this will bring the entire region into war".
Iran refused U.S. calls to stop or offshore uranium enrichment during the indirect talks, while both sides agreed to keep negotiating. The discussions, mediated by Oman, showed little movement on core disagreements.
โ ๏ธ Iranian Threat Messaging and Regional Target Set: Iran has prepared a war plan against the U.S. and says it is ready to launch ballistic missile and drone attacks on U.S. military bases across the Middle East if conflict erupts. Iranโs initial strike would focus on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, followed by strikes on U.S. bases in the UAE, Kuwait, and Syria.
Araqhchi told Al Jazeera: "We are not attacking neighboring countries, but rather the American bases in them. There's a big difference between the two".
The National Security Committee of the Iranian Parliament said: "Tehran has not backed down on its red lines, but Washington has done so".
โ ๏ธ U.S. Advisory for Citizens in Iran: The United States again warned its citizens to leave Iran, citing deteriorating conditions and growing operational restrictions. The advisory cites increased security measures, road closures, disruptions to public transportation, and widespread internet blockages.
Iranian authorities continue restricting access to mobile, landline, and national internet networks, and U.S. officials warn that internet outages are expected to continue. Airlines are continuing to limit or cancel flights to and from Iran, and the advisory urges citizens to prepare alternative communication methods.
The advisory states that, if safe to do so, U.S. citizens should consider departing Iran by land routes, particularly through Armenia or Tรผrkiye.

๐ฏ U.S. POSITIONS USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN STRIKE GROUP NEAR IRAN, UK DEPLOYS F-35S TO CYPRUS, WASHINGTON IMPOSES 25% IRAN TRADE TARIFFS AS REGIONAL ACTORS SIGNAL MILITARY AND POLITICAL ALIGNMENT
โ U.S. Naval Deployment and Strategic Signaling: U.S. President Trump's envoys, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, visited the USS Abraham Lincoln together with CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper. The aircraft carrier is currently stationed in the Arabian Sea, near Iran.
Two officials told Axios: "The USS Lincoln and its strike group are expected to be at the forefront of any future U.S. strike on Iran, and the visit โ coming a day after the talks with Iran โ sends a message to Tehran that Washington has other options if negotiations fail."
U.S. Central Command said the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group moved into the Arabian Sea today. The strike group, accompanied by two military supply ships and two U.S. Coast Guard cutters, sailed together as aircraft from Carrier Air Wing 9 flew overhead. Peace through Strength!
โ๏ธ UK Military Deployment to Cyprus: The UK has sent six Royal Air Force F-35 fighter jets to the Akrotini Air Base in Cyprus amid the escalation of the situation around Iran.
๐ฑ Economic and Regional Developments: The U.S. has imposed a 25% tariff on all countries trading with Iran.
Iraqi National Security Adviser Qasim al-Araji said: "We will not allow the use of Iraq's territory to attack any country". About 5,000 people in Iraq's Diyala Province signed a pledge to serve as a reserve force to support Iran and Iranian-backed armed groups in Iraq if the U.S. attacks Iran.

๐ก๏ธ NETANYAHU ADVANCES TRUMP TALKS DEMANDING IRAN NUCLEAR DISMANTLEMENT, MISSILE RANGE LIMITS, AND AXIS ROLLBACK AS U.S. EXPANDS REGIONAL FORCE PREPARATIONS
๐ฎ๐ฑ๐บ๐ธ TrumpโNetanyahu Meeting and Israelโs Negotiation Position: PM Netanyahuโs Office said the Prime Minister is expected to meet with President Trump this coming Wednesday in Washington to discuss negotiations with Iran. The PMO stated: "The prime minister believes that any negotiations must include limitations on ballistic missiles and an end to support for the Iranian axis."
The meeting was originally expected for February 18 and was moved up by a week. Netanyahu will hold key security consultations tomorrow ahead of his Tuesday flight to Washington, D.C., and is expected to return to Israel by Friday.
Ahead of the meeting, Israelโs position on Iran is described as: complete dismantling of Iranโs nuclear program, zero uranium enrichment, no enrichment capability, removal of all enriched material from Iran, limitation of Iranian missile range to 300 km, dismantling of the Shiite axis, and strict, effective, and verifiable oversight.
โ๏ธ U.S. Objectives, Force Posture, and Planning Constraints: In talks with senior Israeli officials, American officials did not mention the goal of "regime change" in Iran, but rather "changing the regime's behavior". The U.S. had hoped that striking Iranian nuclear facilities during the June war would bring about such a change, but they were disappointed.
The U.S. continues to reinforce forces in the region. Military planners assess that current assets deployed in the Middle East would not be sufficient to conduct a large-scale campaign, and they are preparing for a much larger operation.

๐ฏ IDF ELIMINATES TERRORISTS CROSSING GAZA CEASEFIRE LINE AND APPROACHING TROOPS; ADDITIONAL SECURITY INCIDENTS IN JUDEA AND SAMARIA AND JORDAN VALLEY
๐ฅ Gaza Strip โ Terrorists eliminated after crossing the Yellow Line and approaching IDF troops: Earlier today, IDF troops operating in the southern Gaza Strip identified a terrorist who crossed the Yellow Line and approached the troops, posing an imminent threat to their safety. The troops eliminated the terrorist in order to remove the threat.
In a separate incident in the northern Gaza Strip, IDF troops identified a terrorist who crossed the Yellow Line and approached the troops, posing an imminent threat to their safety. The troops eliminated the terrorist following the identification.
The military also said that in an incident in the Stripโs north, several operatives crossed the Yellow Line and approached reservists of the Alexandroni Brigade "in a manner that posed an immediate threat." "Immediately after the identification, the troops fired toward the terrorists in order to remove the threat. One of the terrorists was eliminated," the army says.
The past Thursday, IDF troops operating in the northern Gaza Strip identified a terrorist near the Yellow Line who approached the troops, posing an imminent threat to their safety. IDF intelligence information suggests the terrorist eliminated is Muhammad Salah al-Din Khaled Abu Raqba, a Hamas terrorist who had infiltrated Israeli territory during the brutal October 7 massacre.
โ๏ธ Jordan Valley โ Detained terror suspect attacks soldier at military base: A Gazan terror suspect detained at an army base in the Jordan Valley freed himself from restraints and attacked a soldier, the military says. The IDF says the servicewoman was lightly injured.
Another female soldier at the scene opened fire on the suspect and "neutralized him". The wounded soldier was taken to a hospital for further treatment, and the IDF did not detail the condition of the terrorist.
โ ๏ธ Judea and Samaria โ Suspected infiltration alert in Karmei Tzur, all-clear later issued: Last night, the IDF dispatched troops to Karmei Tzur after two suspects were identified approaching the communityโs fence. A siren warning of a suspected infiltration sounded in the settlement, and residents were instructed to remain locked in their homes until further notice. "IDF troops scanned the area and additional forces have been deployed," the army says. An all-clear was later given.
