Iran’s IRGC chief tells Trump that country views him as ‘murderer’ of Soleimani
2025-05-16
[IsraelTimes] The top commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hossein Salami, tells US President Donald Trump that the Iranian nation considers him the “murderer” of Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani.
That’s like trying to insult an American by calling him a cowboy. Total insult FAIL.
Soleimani was the commander of the IRGC’s Quds Force. He was killed in Iraq in a drone strike on January 3, 2020, ordered by Trump during his first term in office.

Trump had said earlier that the United States was getting very close to securing a nuclear deal with Tehran.

[IsraelTimes] Report reveals Haniyeh’s praise of ‘glorious victory,’ while Sinwar wrote he was close to destroying Israel; senior Hamas officials said tunnel network ‘not damaged at all’

show that Israel seriously misunderstood the impact of its 2021 operation in Gaza, which the terror group viewed as a victory that encouraged it to launch the October 7 massacre over two years later, Hebrew media reported.

At the time, Operation Guardian of the Walls was painted by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as an "extraordinary success," and he vowed to implement a much tougher stance against the terror group’s rocket fire.

But Channel 12 news on Saturday revealed letters exchanged by Hamas’s then-Gaza chief Yahya Sinwar and the terror group’s leader at the time, Ismail Haniyeh
...became Prime Minister of Gaza after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continued as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintained a separate PM in the West Bank.

, showing that the two men considered the 11-day conflict a defeat for Israel.

Sinwar advocated the strategy of proposing a long-term ceasefire, or hudna, with Israel, as a way of either isolating it from the international community or creating division within Israeli society.

in July 2024, and Sinwar by IDF troops in Gaza later that year.

"It is likely that this move, which would be acceptable to most countries in the world, would not be acceptable to the occupation [Israel] and would therefore increase their isolation and disconnection from them. If the occupation decides to go in this direction [of a hudna], it would tear it apart from within and lead to internal division and civil war," the letter by Sinwar reportedly said.

Haniyeh, in response, congratulated Sinwar on his "clear victory" in the fighting.

"The flag of the Al Qassam movement is waved all over the world, and millions cheer to the dear chief of staff of the resistance, Muhammad Deif, who won a divine and glorious victory," Haniyeh wrote, referencing the Hamas military wing chief, who was also killed by Israel in July 2024.

Sinwar responded on May 30, 2021: "Praise be to God who granted us victory, humiliated the enemy’s leadership. We are close to destroying their country."

Throughout those 11 days in May 2021, Hamas and Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat.

fired over 4,000 rockets and mortar shells at Israel. A dozen non-combatants were killed in Israel during the fighting, along with one soldier. Over 250 Paleostinians were killed, roughly half of whom the IDF claimed were combatants.

It has previously been reported that from that point until October 7, 2023, Hamas carried out a years-long campaign of deception to convince Israel it was not really interested in war.

Additionally, while Netanyahu claimed in the wake of the 11-day operation that the Israel Defense Forces had destroyed "a considerable portion" of Hamas’s internal tunnel routes — its "metro" — senior Hamas officials said otherwise in a meeting with then-Hezbollah leader His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah
...The late, lamented satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...>
and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force Commander Esmail Qaani, Channel 12 reported.

"’The ’metro’ was not damaged at all, and only the offensive tunnel network was slightly damaged and will be repaired soon," the Hamas officials said during the meeting in Beirut on July 26, 2021, according to the report.

Months after the war began, senior defense officials told The New York Times

...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

that Hamas’s tunnel network was far more extensive than they had initially believed.

Israel believed Hamas had been deterred from starting a war until October 7, 2023, when Lions of Islam burst across the Gaza border, killing around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking 251 hostages to the Strip.

Israel then launched a massive air and ground operation in Gaza, vowing to bring home all the hostages and dismantle Hamas’s rule over Gaza.

Hezbollah missile warehouse in southern Beirut airstruck following Israeli warning
2025-04-28
[GEO.TV] A building in southern Beirut was struck on Sunday, Reuters live footage showed, almost an hour after the Israeli army issued an evacuation order to residents of the area.
Hodhod Yemen News adds:
Israeli drones initially launched three strikes on the structure, which had been used by local residents for Ashura processions.

IDF strikes Hezbollah missile warehouse in Beirut, kills operative in south Lebanon
[IsraelTimes] Military issues evacuation alert, fires warning shots before hitting storage site — no casualties reported; Lebanon condemns strike, appeals to the US and France for protection

The Israeli military struck what it said was a Hezbollah precision missiles warehouse in Beirut’s southern suburbs on Sunday, after killing one of the Iran-backed terror group’s operatives in a dronezap in southern Leb
...home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade....
earlier in the day.

There were no immediate reports of casualties in the Beirut-area strike, which came after after the military warned residents to evacuate.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a joint statement that missiles stored in the Lebanese capital "posed a significant threat to Israel."

"Israel will not allow Hezbollah to grow stronger and pose any threat to it — anywhere in Lebanon," the two men said.

They stressed that Israel will not allow Beirut’s southern suburbs — historically a Hezbollah stronghold — to serve as a sanctuary for the terror group.

"The Lebanese government bears direct responsibility for preventing these threats," they warned.

Shortly thereafter, the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement: "The storage of missiles in this infrastructure site constitutes a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon, and poses a threat to the State of Israel and its civilians."

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned the strike in Beirut, in a statement issued on his behalf.

He called on "the United States and La Belle France, as guarantors of the ceasefire agreement, to assume their responsibilities and compel Israel to halt its attacks immediately."

He also alleged that Israel was attempting to destabilize his country and warned that it would intensify tensions in the region.

It was only the third time that the IDF has carried out an attack in the Beirut area since a ceasefire in Lebanon went into effect in November 2024.

The previous attacks took place on March 28, when Israel also issued a warning after two rockets were fired from Lebanon at northern Israel, and on April 1, when an unannounced strike killed four people, including Hassan Bdair, a member of Hezbollah’s Unit 3900 and of the elite Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

In a post to X earlier Sunday, the IDF’s Arabic-language front man, Col. Avichay Adraee, published a map showing the location of the building, and called on civilians to evacuate at least 300 meters (984 feet) from it for their safety.

"To everyone present in the building marked in red as shown on the map and the buildings adjacent to it: You are present near facilities belonging to Hezbollah," he said.

According to Lebanese media, several small warning strikes were carried out in the area before fighter jets dropped heavier munitions to destroy the structure.

IDF DRONE KILLS HEZBOLLAH OPERATIVE IN SOUTHERN LEBANON
Earlier Sunday, the IDF killed a Hezbollah operative in a dronezap in southern Lebanon’s Halta, the military said.

The operative was involved in Hezbollah’s attempts to regroup and rearm, according to the IDF.

The military published footage of the strike.

Lebanon’s health ministry confirmed that an Israeli dronezap had killed one person. Local media said the man was killed while working on his chicken farm.

The November 2024 ceasefire largely ended more than a year of fighting, including some two months of open war, between Hezbollah and Israel.

The fighting started when the Iran-backed terror group opened fire on October 8, 2023, shooting rockets and drones at the Jewish state in support of Hamas

After blows to proxies, Iran advances space program with Russian assistance
2025-04-21
[IsraelTimes] Islamic Republic said to build 54-square-mile complex with spaceport at Chabahar; experts say space technology could enhance Tehran’s long-range missile capabilities

Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence.

is reportedly building a major spaceport as part of an effort to maintain its regional prowess following major blows to its proxies across the Middle East.

Bloomberg detailed the Islamic Theocratic Republic’s plans to build the facility, likened to Florida’s Cape Canaveral, in Chabahar, a launch site close to the equator, making it more efficient for launches.

The site, which was supposed to open last year, will contain a 54-square-mile complex, allowing Iran to launch powerful spacecraft into orbit, the Friday report said.

The program has reportedly raised concerns among Western nations — particularly the US and Israel — that Iranian space technology could be used to advance the country’s intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capabilities.

"Iran’s work on space-launch vehicles — including its two-stage, liquid-fueled Simorgh satellite carrier rocket — likely shortens the timeline to produce an ICBM due to the similarities in technology," General Anthony Cotton, commander of US Strategic Command, told the Senate Armed Services Committee last month.

One of the program’s reported aims is to send to space 20 internet satellites named after Qassem Soleimani
, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps Quds Force commander killed by a US drone in 2020.

With more satellites, Iran could better guide its long-range weapons, according to the report. John Sheldon, an Abu Dhabi-based founding partner at AstroAnalytica, a space consulting firm, was quoted as saying the Iranians "could become much more precise in their targeting and have quicker reaction times to launch their own ballistic missile forces to hit targets much more precisely."

The report did not provide precise figures regarding the costs of the program, though a senior Iranian official reportedly said last November that approximately $11 million would be provided to Iran’s space agency, despite the sanctions that have crippled the Iranian economy.

According to the report, the program is also being supported by Iran’s strategic relationship with Russia, as both countries face sanctions from the West. Russian President Vladimir Putin
...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances...
and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed a 20-year strategic pact in January.

"What Russia definitely has is the expertise," Juliana Suess, a researcher at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs, was quoted as saying. "That’s something that Iran is after."

In October, two Iranian-made satellites were sent into orbit from Russia. Iranian drones have also been used throughout Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The advancement of the program has led the UK and the EU to sanction Brigadier General Ali Jafarabadi, who leads the IRGC’s space division. The UK has also sanctioned the Iranian Space Agency.

"Our enemies constantly try to prevent us from standing on our own feet, but this has driven us to achieve scientific and technological advancements," Pezeshkian said of the program in February.

Matthew Schmidt, an associate professor of national security and political science at the University of New Haven, told Bloomberg that the Iranian space program’s advancements are motivated by the blows the country’s proxies were recently dealt in Leb
...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel...
and Syria.

"Iran has a need now, especially after the losses of its proxy power to Israel, to reestablish some kind of pathway to do power projection," he said. "They see space technology and aeronautical technology as a place to do it."

Iran has not explicitly said whether the program is intended for military purposes, claiming that its goal is to achieve the same technological capabilities as Western countries.

However,
those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things...
Iran has called for the destruction of Israel for decades and launched barrages of long-range missiles at its adversary twice in the past year.

The Islamic Theocratic Republic recently began negotiations with the US on its nuclear program, aiming to reach a deal that will ease sanctions. It is unclear whether the Omani-mediated talks are making headway.

Iran claims that its nuclear program is intended only for civilian purposes, but it nevertheless has enriched uranium to levels that are only necessary for developing an atomic bomb.

Iran sends new missiles to Iraqi proxies that were said to be disarming – report
2025-04-10
[IsraelTimes] Delivery, days before nuclear talks with US, reportedly includes missiles that can reach Europe, in apparent bid to reassure what remains of ‘Axis of Resistance’

has transferred new long-range missiles to proxy groups in Iraq over the past week, defying hopes that the anti-American militias would disarm amid concern of an escalation with US President Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
, according to a Tuesday report, amid preparations for high-level US-Iran nuclear talks in Oman Saturday.

The deliveries from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ air force include surface-to-surface missiles that could reach as far as Europe, as well as shorter-range Quds 351 cruise and Jamal 69 ballistic missiles, The Times of London reported, citing regional intelligence sources involved in monitoring the Iran-Iraq border.

A source cited by The Times said the new long-range models had never before been given to Iraq’s separatist pro-Iranian militias, which last year killed US and IDF troops in dronezaps on military bases in the region.

"It’s a desperate move by the Iranians, risking the stability of Iraq," said the source.

The report came after Rooters reported on Monday that several powerful Iran-backed militias in Iraq had agreed to disarm for the first time to avert the threat of an escalating conflict with the Trump administration.

Arab media later cited an Iraqi political source as saying that the gangs had refused to disarm. A regional diplomatic source quoted by The Times said "the efforts seen in the last 48 hours to create a picture that the militias are disarming is a ruse."

The diplomatic source said the militias were "concerned about internal Iraqi opposition" that was wary of playing host to an Iran-backed state-within-a-state in the mold of Leb
...The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else?...
’s Hezbollah.

"There are discussions in Iraq, among politicians but also in the public sphere on social media, against importing Iran’s problems to their home turf," said the source. "They look at Lebanon and are actively trying to avoid that."

Analysts cited by The Times said Iran’s missile deliveries to allied groups in Iraq were part of Tehran’s effort to reassure what remains of its crumbling network of regional proxies after Israel’s wars against Hamas

rebels and pro-Iranian militias in Syria and Iraq, have also attacked Israel with missiles and drones.

Amid the conflict, Iran itself has fired hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel on two occasions last year, in the Islamic Theocratic Republic’s first-ever direct attacks on Israel. The attacks triggered Israeli responses that reportedly degraded Tehran’s air defenses and missile production capabilities, eliciting fear in Iran of a US-Israeli strike against its nuclear program.

While most of the attacks from Iraqi pro-Iranian groups have been largely ineffective, two soldiers were killed and 24 others maimed when an Iraqi drone hit their Golan Heights base in October.

The Iran-backed groups reportedly agreed to stop attacking Israel in December at the urging of Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudan

It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors.

i, as they waited to see how Trump would approach the region upon taking office in January.

The groups had also attacked US forces in the region, killing three US soldiers and wounding dozens of others at a base in Jordan in January 2024. The strike prompted then-US president Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier...
to launch strikes on dozens of Iranian proxy sites in Iraq and Syria, including a strike that killed the leader of pro-Iranian Iraqi militia Kataeb Hezbollah that February.

In the same month, it was reported that Iraq’s pro-Iranian militias had agreed to scale back attacks on the US at the request of the commander of the IRGC’s elite Quds Force, who had warned of a harsh US reprisal.

Iran is set to enter high-level nuclear talks with the US in Oman this Saturday, Trump announced Monday during a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House.

Since taking office in January, Trump has reinstated his "maximum pressure" policy, which in his first term saw the United States withdraw from a landmark 2015 agreement on Iran’s nuclear program and reimpose sanctions on Tehran. He said last month that "there will be bombing" if Iran fails to sign a nuclear deal.

The US State Department said Tuesday that Tehran was "going in" the direction of an agreement about its nuclear program, and reiterated Trump’s threat that Iran would have "hell to pay" if it fails to make a deal.

Netanyahu has argued that Iran’s nuclear facilities must be completely destroyed, either by force or through agreement. He was reportedly updated about Trump’s announcement just hours before it was made, and given no assurances that Israel’s criteria for a nuclear deal would be met or what would happen if the talks fell through.

The Islamic Theocratic Republic, whose leaders are sworn to destroy Israel, has said it opposes nuclear weapons, but has increased production of 60%-enriched uranium and already possesses enough to create a sizable nuclear arsenal, according to analysts and international watchdogs. The enrichment rate is far beyond what is necessary for a civilian nuclear program and a short step away from developing nuclear warheads.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Western security source claims Hezbollah receiving arms and cash via Beirut port
2025-04-09
[AnNahar] al-Arabiya television on Tuesday quoted a Western security source as saying that Hezbollah has "re-imposed its control over Beirut’s port," following the 2020 catastrophic explosion at the facility that killed around 220 people and devastated swathes of the capital.

"Through its Unit 190 and Unit 700, Iran’s Quds Force will depend on sea smuggling operations, whether directly to Leb
...The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. Only one of those statements is an exaggeration....
or through intermediary countries," the source said.

"Hezbollah is operating with total freedom at Beirut’s port through a network of collaborators belonging to the customs administration and the inspection authorities at the port," the source added, noting that the alleged network is supervised by Hezbollah security official Wafiq Safa.

"Through his agents at Beirut’s port, Safa is seeking to facilitate the smuggling of equipment, arms and money, without any inspection or supervision," the source claimed.

The source accordingly warned that "Hezbollah’s use of Beirut’s port, which is the most important port in Lebanon, jeopardizes Lebanese interests and threatens foreign investments," calling on the Lebanese state to "act urgently in light of Hezbollah’s violations and plans for Beirut’s port that threaten a repetition of the August 2020 disaster."
The Times of Israel pulls back forthe bigger picture:
The report added that Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979.

is relying on the maritime route to support Hezbollah, as previous smuggling routes, largely through Syria, have been shut down since the beginning of the year.

Iran’s use of Syria as an overland route to smuggle weapons is thought to have ended with the fall of Assad late last year.

Since Syria’s new government took control in December, its forces have stopped a number of attempts to smuggle weapons across the border into Leb
...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel...
, seizing firearms, explosives, ammunition and RPG launchers.

Lebanon’s government, which has begun to assert renewed control over the country after Israel’s campaign against Hezbollah crippled the terror group and killed nearly all of its top leaders, has also stopped several smuggling attempts into the country, seizing arms and money both at the Syria border and at the Beirut international airport.

Lebanese authorities have forced flights from Iran to turn around midflight after Israeli forces alerted them to intelligence that they were being used to smuggle money and arms, and even detained an Iranian diplomat in January after receiving a tip that the commercial flight he was on was being used to transfer funds to Hezbollah.

According to reports in Lebanon, the plane was delayed upon arrival in Beirut, was forced to be searched bag by bag, and the Iranian diplomat was held by customs agents for refusing to allow his belongings to be searched.

One report said the contents of the diplomat’s bag were confiscated by Lebanese authorities after large amounts of cash were found in his belongings, but Iran insisted the funds were solely intended for use at the Iranian embassy, and thus were protected under international law. There was no further information on what security services found in their search of the plane.

Israel has also used force to stop smuggling into Lebanon, repeatedly striking Syria-Lebanon border crossings that it says have been key to the terror groups’ funding and weapons supply.

The IDF has also targeted several senior members of Hezbollah’s Unit 4400, which is responsible for transporting and smuggling Iranian weapons into Lebanon.

i’s foreign affairs adviser, told Rooters in response to queries about disarmament talks that the Iraqi prime minister was committed to ensuring all weapons in Iraq were under state control through "constructive dialogue with various national actors."

The two Iraqi security officials said Sudani was pressing for disarmament from all the militias of the Islamic Resistance® in Iraq, which declare their allegiance to Iran’s IRGC or Quds Force rather than to Baghdad.

Some groups have already largely evacuated their headquarters and reduced their presence in major cities including djinn-infested Mosul

and Anbar since mid-January for fear of being hit by air attacks, according to officials and commanders.

Many commanders have also stepped up their security measures in that time, changing their mobile phones, vehicles, and abodes more frequently, they said.

The US State Department said it continued to urge Baghdad to rein in the militias. "These forces must respond to Iraq’s commander-in-chief and not to Iran," it added.

An American official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, cautioned that there had been instances in the past when the militias had ceased their attacks because of US pressure, and was skeptical that any disarmament would be long-term.

The IRGC declined to comment on this article, while the Iranian and Israeli foreign ministries didn’t respond to queries.

SHAKEN: IRAN’S AXIS OF RESISTANCE
Shahbndar, the Shiite politician, said the Iraqi government had not yet finalized a deal with bully boy leaders, with a disarmament mechanism still under discussion.

Options being considered include turning the groups into political parties and integrating them into the Iraqi armed forces, he added.

While the fate of any disarmament process remains uncertain, the discussions nonetheless mark the first time the militias have been prepared to give ground to longstanding Western pressure to demilitarize.

The shift comes at a precarious time for Tehran’s regional "Axis of Resistance®," which it has established at great cost over decades to oppose Israel and US influence, but has seen severely weakened since Paleostinian terror group Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, tipped the Middle East into conflict.

in its dealings with the militias on its soil. The groups sprang up across the country with Iranian financial and military support in the chaotic wake of the 2003 US invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein, and have become formidable forces that can rival the national army in firepower.

US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth told Prime Minister Sudani in a phone call on March 16, shortly after the American strikes on the Houthis began, to prevent the militias from carrying out Dire Revenge attacks on Israel and US bases in the region in support of their allies, according to two government officials and two security sources briefed on the exchange.

The Iraqi-based militias had launched dozens of drone and rocket attacks against Israel in solidarity with Hamas since the Gaza war began and killed three US soldiers in a drone operation in Jordan near the Syrian border last year, and two IDF soldiers were killed and 24 maimed in a separate drone attack on a base in Israel.

Ibrahim al-Sumaidaie, a former political adviser to Sudani, told Iraqi state TV that the United States had long pressed Iraq’s leadership to dismantle Shi’ite militias, but this time Washington might not take no for an answer.

"If we do not voluntarily comply, it may be forced upon us from the outside, and by force."

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Israeli Defense Minister Katz Accuses Iran of Directly Financing Hamas
2025-04-08
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz accused the Iranian authorities of directly financing the radical Palestinian movement Hamas. This was reported on April 6 by the press service of the Defense Ministry.

Katz said that on April 6 he visited the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) "intelligence unit" created after the conflict escalated on October 7, 2023.

"I was presented with a secret document found in the tunnels of Hamas leaders in the Gaza Strip. It proves direct links between Iran and Hamas leaders, as well as Iran's support for Hamas' plan to destroy Israel and the October 7 attack," Katz said.

According to the Israeli Defense Minister, in the document that was found, Hamas demands $500 million from the elite Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC, the elite unit of the Iranian Armed Forces) to finance the destruction of Israel. In addition, Katz claims that the head of the Palestinian branch of the IRGC, Saeed Izadi, responded to the request and assured that Iran would continue to invest in Hamas, despite its difficult economic situation. The minister specified that Hamas received the requested funds.

According to Katz, this episode proves that “Iran is the head of the snake.” The head of the Israeli Defense Ministry assured that the country will do everything to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and will continue to strike its “terrorist satellites” until “the Iranian axis of evil collapses.”

Earlier, Regnum reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered Defense Minister Katz to give a tough response to the rocket fire from Gaza. In turn, the head of the Defense Ministry ordered the continuation and expansion of the military operation against Hamas in Gaza.

On April 4, the IDF launched a ground military operation in the Ash-Shujaiya area in the eastern Gaza City in the northern part of the eponymous sector. It was specified that such a decision was made to "expand the security zone."

Earlier, on March 31, the UN accused the Israeli army of killing 15 medical workers and rescuers in the Gaza Strip. They were then buried in a mass grave in southern Gaza, and their ambulances and a UN mission vehicle were covered with sand using a bulldozer. The body of one of the doctors was found with his hands tied.

On April 4, Dmitry Polyansky, Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, said that he was shocked by the news of the discovery of mass graves of humanitarian workers in the Gaza Strip. The Russian diplomat emphasized that at least 408 humanitarian workers have died in the Palestinian enclave since October 2023.

IDF targets 2 Hezbollah operatives ‘rebuilding terror infrastructure’ in Lebanon

[IsraelTimes] Trump envoy Morgan Ortagus, in Beirut, discusses disarming Hezbollah; chief of staff says Israel ‘showing initiative and offensive action’

The Israeli military on Sunday said it carried out an Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...

...The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else?...
, killing two, in an attack that targeted Hezbollah operatives who were trying to rebuild "terror infrastructure."

Lebanon’s health ministry confirmed that two people were killed in an Israeli strike on the town of Zibqin in the country’s south, saying that it targeted people operating a bulldozer.

Israel’s military said the two were operating an engineering vehicle, and that they were "attempting to rebuild Hezbollah terror infrastructure sites."

"We are continuing the campaign to strengthen the defenses, while showing initiative and offensive action," IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said at an assessment Sunday on the Lebanon border.

Zamir met with the chief of the Northern Command, Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin, commander of the 91st "Galilee" Regional Division, Brig. Gen. Yuval Gez, and other commanders.

During the assessment, the military said, Zamir "emphasized his instructions that the IDF will not allow civilians to go on hikes over the international border, but only in Israeli territory and in places where hikes were held in the past, in accordance with the security situation."

The latest strike came after visiting US deputy special envoy for the Middle East Morgan Ortagus discussed the situation in southern Lebanon with bigwigs on Saturday.

A Lebanese official said Sunday that Ortagus discussed disarming Hezbollah without setting a deadline during her meetings in Beirut a day earlier.

The Lebanese official, speaking anonymously as they were not authorized to brief the media, said Ortagus discussed "intensifying and speeding up the work of the Lebanese army in dismantling Hezbollah’s military infrastructure, leading to restricting weapons to state hands, without setting a timetable."

Ortagus did not make any official statements during the visit, but Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam described their discussions with the US official as "positive," noting they addressed the situation in south Lebanon and economic reforms.

terror group in a pre-dawn raid in the south Lebanese port city of Sidon that also killed his adult son and daughter.

A day earlier, Israel’s military said it carried out an airstrike targeting a Hezbollah member in south Lebanon.

On Tuesday, Israel struck south Beirut, killing a Hezbollah Paleostinian liaison officer, in only the second strike on the capital since the November 27 ceasefire.

The strike’s target was Hassan Bdair, a member of Hezbollah’s Unit 3900 and the elite Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

A source close to Hezbollah told AFP that Bdair was "Hezbollah’s deputy head for the Paleostinian file" who was struck when he was "at home with his family." Bdair’s son Ali was also killed, according to the group.

An Israeli drone on Sunday bombed an excavator and a Renault Rapid utility car between the southern towns of Zibqin and al-Shuaitiyeh in the Tyre district, the National News Agency said.

The Health Ministry said the strike killed at least one person.

for $500 million to complete the destruction of Israel. This request was made before the October 7th, 2023, attacks Hamas launched into Israel.

Defense Minister Israel Katz revealed an intelligence document on Sunday showing that Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar and Muhammad Deif had sent a letter to Iran's IRGC Quds Force commander Esmail Qaani in June 2021, seeking support for the terror group's plans to invade Israel, which were ultimately carried out on October 7, 2023.

''I am presenting here for the first time a document that was found in the tunnels of senior Hamas officials in Gazoo

The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

, which proves a direct relationship between Iran and Yahya Sinwar and Muhammad Deif, as part of Iran's support for the Hamas plan to destroy Israel,'' Katz said in a video statement.

s, and other Islamic terror groups. Written confirmation is good, though, and note that this was found in the tunnels of "senior Hamas officials," presumably by soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

The statement was recorded during a visit to the Military Intelligence Directorate's so-called intelligence collection and technical spoils unit — known by its Hebrew acronym, ''Amshat.''

''In the document, they (the Hamas leaders) ask of the commander of the [Islamic] Revolutionary Guard Corps' Quds Force to transfer $500 million for destroying the State of Israel,'' he said.
The Times of Israel adds:
The document shows that Hamas demanded $20 million per month from Iran over two years, “to achieve these great goals, through which we will change the face of the world.”

“We are confident that by the end of these two years, or during them, God willing, we will uproot this monstrous entity, and we will end this dark period in the history of our nation,” the letter reads.

Saeed Izadi, the head of the Palestinian Division in the IRGC, “accepted the request and replied to them that Iran, despite its difficult economic situation and the plight of the Iranian population, will continue to funnel money to Hamas, because the struggle against Israel and the US is the top priority of the Iranian regime,” Katz said.

The defense minister added that “the conclusion is clear: Iran is the head of the serpent, and despite all its denials, it is also funding and advancing terror in all areas, from Gaza, through Lebanon, Syria, Judea and Samaria [the West Bank] and now with the Houthis in Yemen, under the desire to destroy Israel.”

“Israel will do everything possible to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and will continue to hit its proxies in the region until the Iranian evil axis is crushed and defeated,” Katz said.

DOZENS PROTEST HAMAS IN JABALIA, AS ISRAELI STRIKES CONTINUE
Meanwhile, media outlets in Gaza reported a demonstration in Jabalia in northern Gaza on Sunday, with dozens of protesters chanting “Hamas are terrorists” and “Hamas are garbage.”

Two weeks ago, there were several consecutive days of anti-Hamas and anti-war demonstrations in Gaza, followed by reports that the terror had killed some of the protesters. The demonstrations were halted for a period, although they returned last week with a protest in northern Gaza.

Iran enlisted drug trafficker in failed plot to kill Azerbaijan rabbi — report

[israelTimes] Washington Post says Rabbi Shenor Segal was target of Iranian plot, had $200,000 placed on his head; Segal says he only learned of matter through media, still feels safe

recruited a Georgian narco to assassinate an Azerbaijani rabbi as part of a plot that was foiled in January, according to a report published Saturday morning.

The Washington Post said the scheme was launched last fall when Iran’s Quds Force, the overseas arms of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, met with Agil Aslanov, a prominent drug kingpin from Georgia, recruiting him to facilitate the liquidation.

The Quds Force reportedly promised the would-be hitman $200,000 for killing Rabbi Shenor Segal and attacking an education center.

The newspaper said Aslanov recruited an Azerbaijani local and began surveilling the rabbi.

The plot was discovered by Azerbaijan’s security services, and Aslanov and the local accomplice were arrested in January, the report added, citing unnamed security officials from the Middle East and Western countries.

The two were charged with conspiring to commit a terrorist act.

Azerbaijan’s state security service said in a statement that Aslanov "worked to collect information about a member of a religious community, and sent the location of his residence and workplace to a representative of a foreign special service agency via the appropriate mobile phone application."

The statement did not name Segal as the target, but his identity was widely reported in the local press.

In response, Segal told The Washington Post that he’d only learned about the plot after it was reported in the media. He added that he still feels safe in Azerbaijan, despite the Iranian attempt to have him killed.

"We live here peacefully. I walk on the streets here, and there is no fear," Segal said.

Segal is not the first rabbi to be targeted in recent months, as Rabbi Zvi Kogan, a Chabad rabbi based in the United Arab Emirates, was kidnapped and murdered late last year as part of a reported plot to transport him to Oman and keep him hostage there.

After the plan went awry, Kogan was murdered and his body was discovered days after he was reported missing.

The UAE is holding three people over the murder — Olimpi Toirovich, Makhmudjon Abdurakhim and Azizbek Kamlovich — all of them Uzbek nationals who were arrested in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
. The three were handed death sentence
...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead...
s last week for their roles in the kidnapping and murder.

There were some reports that Iran was involved in that attack too, though according to Kan, Israeli officials believe that Kogan’s killing was not necessarily carried out on behalf of Tehran.

Iran is known to have targeted Israeli and Jewish targets around the world over the years as part of its efforts against the Jewish state. In January, the Israeli National Security Council revealed that Iranian proxies attempted to lure an Israeli businessman to Dubai under the pretext of an interview.

In recent months, Israel has also uncovered a significant number of plots of Iranian proxies recruiting Israelis online to carry out espionage against Israeli figures and facilities. Since September 2024, Israeli authorities have announced arrests in many cases involving individuals or cells suspected of spying or plotting attacks on behalf of Iran. In some, Tehran tried to trick Israelis online into carrying out missions for it. In other cases, individuals are alleged to have knowingly operated on Tehran’s behalf for money.
