That were were martyred as a result of injuries sustained in attacks days or weeks ago.

🇮🇱/🇱🇧/🇺🇸 “The latest assessment that has formed in the Israeli intelligence community in the last day is that Iran has decided to attack Israel directly in revenge for the assassination of the head of the Hamas political bureau, Ismail Haniya.

Iran may do so in the coming days even before the summit of negotiations on the hostage deal, according to two sources Comments on the subject.

Former CENTCOM commander, General McKenzie also told Face "The Nation" that we are hours, maybe days, not weeks away from Hezbollah entering the fight & that's the big variable as they have 10,000's of accurate missiles, challenging Israel from a proximity.

⭕️ Hezbullah issued a statement that in response to the Israeli attack on Ma'roub villages, and various other Lebanese areas, they attacked the HQ of the 146th division with a batch of 122mm grad rockets (Ketyusha).

📸 Ga'toun barracks has been attacked 6 times so far, according to statistics

This is the base, from a previous recon operation by Hezbullah.

🇮🇱/🇺🇸 U.S. Defense Secretary Austin has ordered the deployment of the USS Georgia submarine, an Ohio Class Ballistic Missile Submarine, to the Middle East.

He has also ordered the USS Lincoln carrier strike group to accelerate its transit to the region.

I think what's only missing is Biden to come, and the whole U.S. will be here available to defend Israel and put itself in line of fire for Jewish state.

🇮🇱 Gallant faces reality with a true dose of facts, confrontats delusional Netanyahu and his circus

In a meeting attended by the Israeli Minister of Defense Galant at the Foreign Affairs and Security Committee meeting, he said that Israel is at a security crossroads and has two options: either settlement or escalation.

The following is part of his important remarks.

Gallant:
My position and that of the security services (IDF, Shin Bet, Mossad) is to move towards a settlement [with Hamas] that includes a deal to recover the kidnapped and remove the Radwan forces from the border.

Gallant:
On October 11, I wanted to attack Lebanon, but the cabinet did not approve the request, and now I do not recommend doing so.

[A war against Lebanon is no longer possible easily, and a pre-emptive attack would be futile tile because there is no longer an element of surprise]

Gallant:
I hear the drums beating and talk of absolute victory [he means Netanyahu's fictional claims] but this war will be an adventure

Gallant:
The hostage deal is also being delayed by Israel and nothing will happen if we leave Philadelphia for two months [to allow the deal to work]

Galant to Likud members who attacked him during the security review he presented to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security Committee and called on him to wage war against Lebanon:

"The conditions of war in Lebanon today are the opposite of what they were at the beginning of the war."

Galant continues to then attack Netanyahu before the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, saying,

"He does not show the courage that he speaks of publicly behind closed doors.”

In the discussuon, Likud MK Tali Gottlieb (from the same party as Galant) responded: "I am not prepared to hear nonsense about the prime minister."

Galant to Gottlieb: I am ready to face facts and actions. I may be weak in the media and politics, but I know what I say with confidence [about the security situation].

Gallant:
For years there has been no smuggling through the tunnels via the Philadelphia axis because [Egyptian president] Al-Sisi did not allow it.

Gallant adds:
"Most of the weapons that reached the Gaza Strip entered through the Rafah crossing or through the tunnels during Morsi's rule... and now we have destroyed both of them"

Galant: Even after the fighting ends, Rafah will remain under our security control

MK Amit Halevi: What do you mean by security control?

Galant to Halevi: "We will build an underground barrier there...We must remember that in the October 7 attack the above-ground wall was breached but they could not breach the underground wall."

Gallant:
- The deal will bring us peace in the north and south and we must live with the cost to be paid.

- It is our moral duty to release the kidnapped, even if it is in exchange for the release of Palestinian murderers.

🇮🇱 Israeli journalist Amit Segal: The relationship between Netanyahu and Gallant is a threat to Israel's security, especially on the eve of the anniversary of the destruction of the Temple and the anticipation of an external strike.

Gallant believes Netanyahu is misleading the public, and Netanyahu believes Gallant is an American spy.

🇮🇱/🇺🇸 According to U.S. journalist David Frum, no previous US administration ever, has deployed more US strength in support of Israel than Biden-Harris.

The next runner-up is Nixon in 1973, and it's not a close second.

🇱🇧/🇮🇱 Nature in the north has turned black: the heavy price of Hezbullah's attacks | Painful documentation

In an article by Israeli website Ynet since the beginning of the war, more than 181 thousand dunams of nature reserves, national parks and forests have caught fire in the north.

The Authority of the Nature and Parks are struggling to save nature from the fire.

Since the beginning of the year, nearly 400 dunams, equal in size to about 60 football fields, have caught fire in the Nahal Hermon-Banias nature reserve alone.

"The height of the flames in the area channel reached 20-30 meters," described Eran Haims, manager of the Upper Galilee area at the Nature and Parks Authority.

"The heat was so intense that the water evaporated."
