IDF spokesperson with details regarding today's incident in al-Mughayyir 👆

IDF: Earlier this evening (Wednesday), dozens of Israeli civilians set fire to property in al-Mughayyir.

A confrontation developed at the scene between the Israeli civilians and the Palestinians, which included mutual rock-hurling.

Upon receiving the report, IDF and Israeli Police forces were dispatched to the scene and operated to disperse the confrontation.

As a result of the rocks hurled, an IDF officer was lightly injured and received medical treatment.

Afterward, several terrorists fired from within al-Mughayyir and hurled rocks at the forces, who opened fire toward the source of fire and the rock-hurlers.
Hits were identified, and it was later reported that there were several individuals injured and fatalities.

Five Israeli suspects were arrested and transferred to the Israeli Police for further processing.

American envoy Witkoff regarding additional countries joining the Abraham Accords:

President Trump wants to expand the Abraham Accords - we are working on this, in coordination with the State Department.
We think we will have big announcements about countries that will now join the Abraham Accords.
We hope for normalization with a wide range of countries that people may not have considered before.
We are excited about this.
This will be a stabilizing factor in the Middle East.

Hamas Takeover of Aid Trucks in Northern Gaza – Explanation and Elaboration

Yesterday, shortly before 5:00 PM, I published initial reports here on the channel, based on Hamas-affiliated sources, about aid trucks entering through the Zikim crossing into northern Gaza and the city of Gaza. The aid reportedly "arrived safely" at warehouses within Gaza City (specifically, in a hangar belonging to the "ANERA" organization). Hamas militants have firm control over Gaza City itself.

Using a large number of "convoy security guards" without visible Hamas insignia and branded as "clan members" - who appear to be a civilian presence (but are in fact Hamas operatives/loyalists) - the convoys entered directly into an area fully controlled by Hamas.

In northern Gaza and Gaza City, there are no food distribution points operated by the American aid foundation (originally intended to draw the Gazan population southward).

There are three distribution points in the Rafah-Khan Yunis area (secured by men loyal to Yasser Abu Shabab).

There is one additional American aid distribution point south of Gaza City, along the Netzarim Corridor (central Gaza).

Meanwhile, Israel continues to bring in aid trucks under the old framework into southern Gaza - though these usually fail to reach the warehouses and are looted en route (for example, yesterday 70 trucks were looted in the Khan Yunis area).

##
Around midnight, following the publication here on the channel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz released the following statement:

"Following intelligence received today indicating that Hamas is once again seizing humanitarian aid entering northern Gaza and stealing it from civilians, the Prime Minister and Defense Minister have instructed the IDF to present within 48 hours an action plan to prevent Hamas from taking over the aid.

##
Hamas has strong control over Gaza City - it is currently their main stronghold in the Strip.
Any aid entering the city will be taken by Hamas and used for their purposes. There’s no real mystery about this.

To prevent this, the IDF must operate militarily inside Gaza City, as it does, for example, in Khan Yunis.
Alternatively, aid should be distributed outside Gaza City and not brought in as a single large convoy - mass entry makes it easier for Hamas to seize it.

There are no operatives of the Yasser Abu Shabab militia in northern Gaza.

As I’ve written before, more "Yasser Abu Shababs" need to be created for northern Gaza as well.

Yesterday, after the announcement by US envoy Witkoff regarding the imminent expansion of the Abraham Accords, this image of a billboard in Israel by the "Coalition for Regional Security" was broadcast on Arab channels, showing many Arab leaders alongside Trump and Netanyahu, including the president of Syria and the president of Lebanon...

Reports of a new normalization of relations with Arab countries are stirring up Arab social media users.

This billboard and Witkoff's announcement made the issue of normalization with Israel the "burning issue" tonight.

President Trump said immediately after announcing the ceasefire with Iran: It's time for peace.

It seems that the "normalization engines" have restarted...

Hamas-affiliated channels present: Orderly distribution of the aid that entered Gaza City yesterday (into Hamas hands).

Hamas wants to market to the world that it is managing to distribute aid well to residents (of course, this strengthens its position).

The Iranian Prosecutor General of Evin Prison in Tehran was assassinated.

Iranian channels report that in the Israeli attack on Tehran's notorious Evin Prison during the war, Ali Qanatkar, who headed the public prosecution at the prison (and the courthouse next to it), was killed. He also served as an assistant public prosecutor in Tehran and, in this capacity, was responsible for the indictments that led to the imprisonment and execution of many dissidents who demonstrated in the protests of recent years in Iran.

Justice for many regime opponents.

This morning's billboard in Shiraz:
Persian King Subdues Netanyahu - "Kneel Before the Iranians"

To comment, follow this link

The billboard in Shiraz this morning👆 is based on the famous rock relief discovered at the archaeological site of Naqsh e-Rostam (near Shiraz and close to the famous archaeological site of Persepolis) which shows the Persian king "Shafur I" of the Sasanian dynasty, defeating the Roman emperor Valerianus, in a battle in 260 AD, a battle in which the Persian king's conquests reached as far as modern-day Syria.

It is interesting to see that the Islamic Iranian regime was forced to use a historical Persian figure from a period that predates Islam by several centuries to portray victories over the West. This is as part of its attempt to present the latest campaign as a "divine victory" over Israel and the US. Where is Allah in all this?
