Over the past few hours, IDF troops began conducting ground operations in the area of Shejaiya in northern Gaza, in order to expand the security zone.

As part of the activity, troops eliminated numerous terrorists and dismantled Hamas terrorist infrastructure, including a command and control center that served Hamas to plan and execute terror attacks.

During and prior to the activity, IDF troops are allowing the evacuation of civilians from the combat zone via organized routes for their safety.

White House confirms: Netanyahu will visit Trump in Washington next Monday.

The timing is interesting.

Could be related primarily to Trump's new tariffs, or to the massive build-up of American forces and rumors of a looming attack on Iran.

Masked Syrian gunmen presumably affiliated with the new regime in Damascus have published a clip threatening to perpetrate another "Oct. 7" against Israel if the IDF does not halt its war on Hamas in Gaza.

The above post is going viral on Palestinian social media. It featured an AI-generated image of Israel Public Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir holding a Passover lamb atop the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

The Arabic accompanying the post reads:

"Prominent 'Temple Gang' member Arnon Segal posts an AI-generated image of Ben Gvir carrying the 'Passover offering' as part of the settler gangs' threats regarding what they intend to do at the blessed al-Aqsa Mosque on the occasion of the so-called 'Biblical Passover,' which will take place in the coming days."


As with every year, there is a concerted Palestinian effort to stoke tensions by claiming the Israeli government is allowing Jewish religious rites at the Temple Mount.

Under current policies, Jews are forbidden to worship at Judaism's holiest site for fear of upsetting the Muslim world.

US envoy Morgan Ortagus was in Beirut at the weekend to deliver an ultimatum to Lebanon: Fulfill the obligations of the ceasefire agreement and UN resolutions, or face a significant escalation.

In other words, the Trump admin expects Lebanon to finally disarm Hezbollah and not allow Israel to be threatened from its soil.

Otherwise, Washington will support any action Israel deems necessary.

---

Local Lebanese media, however, focused less on Ortagus' message and more on the fact that she came proudly displaying a Star of David necklace.

Lebanese Christian speaks out!

Lebanese lawyer and Christian politician Joรซlle Bou Abboud made the following statement on Lebanese television:

โ€œIsrael is violating the ceasefire in Lebanon in a positive way, whereas Hezbollah is violating it in a negative way by not handing over its weapons...โ€


Many in Lebanon understand that Israel's attacks against Hezbollah are only doing the citizens of the Land of Cedars a favor, since the Lebanese army is incapable of getting the job done.

A senior Israeli official to Channel 14:

"We are preparing for the possibility that Iran will make a mistake and attack us with hundreds of missiles. The defense cooperation between us and the Americans is today better than it's ever been.

"Trump's deadline for Iran is about a month away
- everything is on the table."

"For half a billion dollars we will destroy Israel."

Defense Minister Israel Katz today revealed dramatic correspondence between Iran and Hamas leaders Mohammed Deif and Yahya Sinwar, saying it was "clear evidence of Iranian support for Hamas's plan to destroy Israel."

Minister Katz said:

"I am presenting here today for the first time a documentโ€”a summary of conversations found in the Hamas leadership's tunnels in the Gaza Strip. It proves a direct connection between Iran and Yahya Sinwar and Mohammed Deif in the context of Iran's support of Hamas's plan to destroy Israel.

"In the document, they demand that the commander of the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps transfer $500 million to finance the destruction of the State of Israel."

Most of the rockets were intercepted. There are reports of shrapnel and some rockets landing in or near the cities.

There are no reports of casualties at this time.

Israel is reportedly preparing to resume humanitarian aid to Gaza.

The political leadership had been against lifting any pressure on Hamas, but the Israeli army has reportedly determined that resuming the flow of aid is unavoidable, even as military operations continue.

This time, however, the IDF is looking to facilitate the distribution of aid without Hamas involvement, presumably starting in Rafah, where Israeli forces are largely in control.
