Dear A.,
Last night, the IDF launched a series of targeted strikes against terrorists in southern Lebanon, who were

working to restore Hezbollah's military infrastructure and

gathering intelligence on IDF troops.
Today, the military also eliminated another Hezbollah terrorist in southern Lebanon who was involved in "efforts to reestablish Hezbollah’s readiness in the area,"
[link removed]
according to the IDF.
Prior to the strikes, Israel issued

evacuation warnings for several nearby villages in southern Lebanon to avoid civilian casualties.
The military also

carried out strikes against Hamas targets in Lebanon yesterday, taking out a Hamas training facility in the coastal city of Sidon.
"The compound was used by Hamas terrorists for training and exercises in order to plan and carry out terrorist attacks against IDF troops and the State of Israel," the IDF

said .

Meanwhile, Hezbollah and Hamas are working to import weapons from Iran and other sources since Israel decimated the terror groups over the past two years.
New reports show Hamas is increasingly working to stockpile weapons abroad so they can be smuggled into Gaza, while the IDF contends with an increase in smuggling attempts via drones across the Egyptian border.
This comes as a Lebanese man in Germany went on trial yesterday for procuring drones for Hezbollah, some of which were used in two attacks on Israel last year. Prosecutors
[link removed]
said that the man had "a large-scale drone program" and had built an arsenal of over 10,000 drones at the time of his arrest.
The United States must continue to stand with Israel and ensure its agreements with Lebanon and Hamas are upheld.

Tell Congress: Reject False Accusations of Genocide Against Israel

The resolution calls to block arms to Israel, prosecute American citizens and companies, and put sanctions on the Jewish state.
TAKE 45 SECONDS: Contact your members of Congress and urge them to condemn the resolution and refute this false accusation.

140,000 tarpaulins — large waterproof tarps that can be used for makeshift, emergency shelters — into Gaza over the past few months for the residents of the strip to use ahead of the coming winter.
These waterproof sheets have been delivered in coordination with partners in the international community and the U.S.-led Civil-Military Coordination Center (

New Op-Ed: A Manufactured Menace: How “Track AIPAC” Turns Normal Politics Into a Jewish Suspicion
Podcast host and writer Daniel Mael
[link removed]
writes about how "Track AIPAC" has revived old prejudices and distorts democratic debate.
"The website 'Track AIPAC'... presents itself as a transparency tool, but its purpose is something far more troubling. It takes ordinary political behavior that no one questions when practiced by any other group and recasts it as suspicious simply because Jews are involved."
"This is not political oversight. It is pattern recognition of the ugliest kind."
"This is where 'Track AIPAC' stops being a misguided project and becomes something ethically corrosive... It tells the public that Jewish advocacy is not part of the normal democratic churn, it is a foreign intrusion. It subtly advances the idea that Jewish civic engagement must be monitored, totaled, and treated as suspect in a way no other community’s engagement is."

U.S., Europe pressuring Iran to cooperate with IAEA; watchdog wants access to 60% of enriched uranium
The United States, United Kingdom, France and Germany have submitted a draft resolution to the
[link removed]
U.N.'s nuclear watchdog , the IAEA, pushing for Iran to "fully cooperate" with the group, as it looks to carry out inspections of Tehran's nuclear facilities after the 12-day war with Israel.
The board is expected to vote later this week on the resolution and will call on the country to give inspectors access to Iran's supply of uranium that has been enriched to the 60% level.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi has

told Iran that its facilities being attacked is no longer an excuse for not following through on its obligations as a member of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

New report: Palestinian textbooks continue to promote violence despite PA commitments
A
[link removed]
new report that analyzes 290 textbooks and 71 teacher guides from the Palestinian Authority's (PA) 2025-2026 educational curriculum shows continued anti-Israel and antisemitic content, despite commitments from the PA to reform its education system.
The report shows that "the curriculum incites antisemitism and violence, promotes jihad and martyrdom, glorifies terrorism, rejects peacemaking and the two-state solution, and erases Israel from maps."
A Palestinian terrorist who killed 38 Israeli civilians, including 13 children, is applauded to students as a role model and as a "hero" and "martyr" whose memory is "immortal" in the "hearts and minds" of Palestinians.
Even basic math lessons include "imagery of a slingshot shooting a rock by a 'young girl' to teach Newton's Law" and "teaching basic calculus to young students by counting 'martyrs' who died in the Palestinian intifadas."
