For years, Iran’s terror proxies Hamas and Hezbollah built vast underground networks beneath Gaza and southern Lebanon: kilometers of tunnels used to store weapons, hide operatives, house command centers, and launch attacks against Israeli civilians, including the October 7 massacre.
This week, the IDF uncovered and dismantled major sections of these networks in Gaza (including Rafah) and in the Labbouneh area of southern Lebanon - exposing a massive terror infrastructure deliberately embedded beneath civilian areas.

President Isaac Herzog Addresses State Ceremony Marking 59 Years Since the Liberation and Unification of Jerusalem
President Herzog: “Just as we have safeguarded Jerusalem with strength, we must safeguard it also in spirit, morality, responsibility, and with love of fellow human beings and respect for the faith of the other”
On May 14, 2026, President Isaac Herzog delivered remarks at the state ceremony marking 59 years since the liberation and unification of Jerusalem, held at Ammunition Hill in Jerusalem.
President Isaac Herzog:
“Jerusalem is not only a symbol. Anyone who sees in it only a symbol misses Jerusalem. Jerusalem is so wondrous because it is alive. Because in the shadow of the ancient stones, children play. Because alongside the grand sweep of history, there are small, tangible, daily lives. And this, perhaps, is Jerusalem's great secret: it does not ask us to choose between memory and life. It demands that we carry both together. To remember the fallen, and to build homes; to safeguard the holy places, and to develop every sphere of life.
“This evening, we stand on the threshold of the sixtieth year of the city's reunification. More years have passed in the State of Israel with a united Jerusalem than with a divided one. We have already proven to the entire world that we will never give up on Jerusalem and its past. Now is the time to prove to ourselves that we are capable of proudly shaping its future as well.
“Just as we have safeguarded it with strength, we must safeguard it also in spirit, in morality, in responsibility, in love of fellow human beings and respect for the faith of the other, respect for their way of life. We will safeguard Jerusalem out of a readiness to see in this city not only our past, but also our test. For a united Jerusalem is not only a political fact, it is a national mission.
“We will ensure that every young woman and young man in Jerusalem, from every neighborhood and every community, knows that they are part of this city's future. We will ensure that every child knows the other as well, and learns to respect them.”

Jerusalem Day is a time to reflect on how Israel’s story weaves together past, present, and future all at once. 🇮🇱✨
The Knesset, Israel’s parliament, sits in our capital, Jerusalem, embodying the vibrant democracy of the State of Israel. Standing before it is the Menorah 🕎, a symbol of the living spiritual heritage of the Jewish people and our deep-rooted connection to this land and to Jerusalem.

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar:
"I commend the President of Honduras Nasry Asfura - a strong leader with values and principles - for his decision to designate Hamas and Iran’s Revolutionary Guards as terror organizations.
This is another important reinforcement in the global campaign against terrorism, which endangers security throughout the world, including in Latin America. 🇮🇱🇭🇳"

This is what the New York Times replied when asked to publish the full and official Israel Prison Service’s response to Nicholas Kristof’s lies.
Of course, in their 18-page “article” they never saw fit to publish the full and official response.

🔴*ELIMINATED*: Izz al-Din al-Haddad, Head of Hamas’ military wing and one of the last senior commanders involved in the planning of the October 7 massacre.
Following the elimination of Mohammed Sinwar, Haddad assumed his role and worked to rebuild Hamas’ capabilities and planned numerous terror attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops.
Throughout the war, Haddad was involved in the holding of many Israeli hostages in Hamas captivity and managed Hamas’ hostage captivity system by surrounding himself with hostages in an attempt to prevent his elimination.
