Foreign ministers of all 27 European Union member states have unanimously agreed to designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization, a move expected to escalate tensions with Tehran and lead to sweeping sanctions.
The tension with families, the doubts, and how the IDF chief of staff “fired” them after locating Ran Gvili: Commanders of the the Hostages and Missing Persons Command can finally speak about what was kept secret during the Gaza War.
On October 8, when the scope of the Israelis abducted to Gaza was still unknown, Gal Hirsch took on the task of bringing them home. “During Ramadan, Sinwar planned an ‘Al-Aqsa Flood 2,’ but we were accused of sabotaging a deal by refusing a ceasefire during the fast.” he says. He also reveals: “We categorized the hostages as ‘Ron Arads,’ ‘Nachshon Wachsmans,’ ‘Regev and Goldwassers,’ and ‘Gilad Schalits.’” And also: How long did Sinwar plan to hold the hostages?
As protests erupted across Iran and President Donald Trump hinted he may be moving toward intervention, many Israelis have been asking the same question: when will the American strike come? A new Israeli-made tool aims to provide an answer. Yonatan Back, a high-tech product manager, has launched StrikeRadar, a platform designed to estimate when the first bomb might fall on Tehran.
As Iran steps up military preparations amid rising tensions with Washington, Tehran has begun building urban bomb shelters and preparing its metro system for emergency use, while the Iranian military reports new weapons deliveries and heightened readiness.
