Dear A.,


IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari toured a village in southern Lebanon today to showcase how Hezbollah turned civilian homes into terror bases for attacks against Israel.


In the 3.5-minute video, Hagari takes us inside one home filled with tactical military equipment, sniper rifles, hand grenades, and RPGs that were planned to be used in an October 7-style invasion into northern Israel.


"We are now going house to house raiding each and every house, taking all this gear, dismantling Hezbollah’s capability to do the Conquer the Galilee plan," Hagari said.


The presence of Hezbollah’s massive weapons arsenal near the border is yet another example of the U.N.’s failure to implement

reported this afternoon that the two leaders "moved closer to an understanding on the scope of Israel’s planned retaliation against Iran" during their call yesterday.

reports today revealed that China is allowing blacklisted vessels to offload Iranian oil.


The report found that Iran's revenue from petroleum exports exceeded $50 billion last year alone and has more than tripled over the last three years.

The United States must increase the pressure on the Iranian regime, including by fully enforcing sanctions as required by law. Sanctions under the SHIP Act targeting ports and refineries that knowingly process Iranian oil go into effect later this month.

said yesterday that "Yahya Sinwar remains the decision-maker. He remains — we believe — alive and in a tunnel underneath Gaza, holding hostages, and likely with hostages in his vicinity."

reports earlier this week, Sinwar ordered terrorist commanders in the West Bank to renew suicide bombings in Israel shortly after he replaced Ismail Haniyeh as head of the terror organization.

Hamas remains the obstacle to a deal. Egypt and Qatar must increase their leverage on Hamas to release the 101 hostages.

Yarden Bibas turns 35 in Hamas captivity


Yarden Bibas spent a second birthday in hell.


He and 100 other hostages, including his wife Shiri and two children Ariel and Kfir, have been held captive by barbaric terrorists for 370 days.


Dozens of Israelis gathered in Tel Aviv's Hostages Square today to mark Yarden’s birthday and call on Hamas to let the hostages go. Yarden is the first hostage to spend two birthdays held captive in Gaza.
