News from EY is that everyone is on high alert.

Also seems like massive IAF bombing in Southern Lebanon.

It was reported that Netanyahu and Gallant will pass the holiday in their bunker. Davening and hoping for only good news.

While we are all waiting to see what Israel is going to do, I am thinking if they are setting up something similar to what they did when they killed ismail haniyeh. We still don't know what exactly happened there, do we? But if Israel is so infiltrated in Iran maybe they are setting something up from within - without using fighter jets or ballistic missiles...?

A lot of reports about a massive cyberattack, though nothing that msm picked up.

I think they all share the same Iranian source which was a misinterpreted headline.

NYT printed a real obvious fake article by someone who is basically a Hamas spokesman ("Hamas does not hide behind civilians" blah blah blah, "but IDF deliberately shoots kids in the head").

No actually, twitter is not real life. Iran needs to be deterred, not made fun of on the internet.

The ultimate victory here would be the Iranian people overthrowing their government. And to that end, it would be a big step.

If you count 2 drones in herzeliya and multiple rocket attacks to Haifa and the galil quiet, sure.

“The capture of a Hezbollah operative by the IDF in southern Lebanon: a significant psychological event

Hezbollah supporters are in complete denial, refusing to believe it's real. No official media outlet associated with the Shiite axis has reported the capture of the Hezbollah operative. Al Jazeera, which usually publishes news quickly, an hour after has not reported on it. Hezbollah supporters are responding to the IDF spokesperson in Arabic claiming it's all a show. They argue there's no way it's a Hezbollah operative, hence the blurred face. Some even suggest it's an Israeli soldier "disguised for the production." They cannot bear the humiliating possibility that one of the "Islamic Lebanese resistance fighters" was captured in this manner. In my view, it's crucial to publish as much authentic material about the captive as possible. The psychological impact of humiliating Hezbollah here is much larger than any intelligence gained from one operative in a tunnel.

This is a consciousness goldmine.“ Abu Ali

Abu Ali is great for news from Arabic sources
His opinions are less valuable
