Iran-Israel missile strategy Iranian missile fire on Israel declined sharply at the start of war. This was largely due to reduced capabilities after Israeli/US strikes, but also Tehran’s decision to hold back part of its arsenal for later phases. While Iran can no longer
Israel believes US is planning to take over Strait of Hormuz; operation is expected to take 2 weeks, US military is pouring more forces to the region; Israel is also expected to take part. via Kan News
Reality check: 1. There's no "media blackout" in Israel. Israeli media is openly reporting on missile attacks and impact sites. 2. Tel Aviv was not hit hard in this war, at all. Anyone actually living here can see that. 3. Netanyahu is still alive. Claims that he's dead are silly
Iran’s current war strategy seems to continue its terrible pre-war strategy. The regime refused to make any serious concessions before the war, believing that Trump will not strike or order a limited attack. They were wrong and are now under a devastating US-Israeli assault.
I see growing assessments that Trump does not control the end date of the Iran war, as Tehran will aim to prolong it and exact higher costs. While this may be true and fits with parts of Iran's strategic logic, the price paid for ongoing conflict is tremendous. Moreover, US or
Israel enters next phase of war, adopting the “Syria model” in Iran: Systematic destruction of military assets and arms production. IDF is aiming to destroy every missile, tank, plane and artillery piece, say senior Israeli officers. IDF’s high strike tempo plus increasing
After 4 days of relentless bombings, Iranian military capabilities are gradually crumbling. Tehran can still cause damage with its arsenal, but increasingly fails to produce sustained and/or large-scale attacks. Iran's bigger problem is that it's entirely unable to stop any US
It's been a crazy day at Israel Radar. Over 80 posts, more than 4M impressions. I'm doing it all on my own. If you appreciate my coverage, please consider buying me coffee. Thank you!
A reminder that Iran is the best target for the US to demonstrate its military power. Iran is far weaker than China or Russia and has no nukes (unlike North Korea). Also, no need for American boots on the ground, lots of Iranian assets to bomb, and US can count on Israel's
Israel prepares for extreme wartime scenarios due to estimate that US-Iran talks are on brink of collapse. IDF Home Front Command prepares for wide-scale missile fire by Iran and Midest militias, Walla News reports. Air Force takes steps to ensure it can continue wartime
Saudi Arabia and UAE refuse to finance Gaza reconstruction unless Hamas is disarmed, Kan News reports.
The world finally sees Israel for what it really is: Many Americans and Europeans now realize that Israel is a pillar of strength and Western resolve against the Islamist-Progressive alliance. China, Russia and Iran now fully understand Israel is a very aggressive and capable regional power when its core interests…
After the Gaza war, Gaza needs to be entirely disconnected from Israel. Shut down all crossings, never allow Gazans to work in Israel, and gradually disconnect Gaza from Israeli water and electricity. Gaza's natural connection is Egypt.
Thousands of Israeli forces are leaving Gaza and coming back home. Welcome back 🇮🇱
Massive explosions in Hezbollah arms depot bombed by Israel today. Still amazed how IDF keeps bombing with no response from Hezbollah.
Military gear keeps pouring into Israel, Defense Ministry says. IDF still has some work to do in Iran.
International Criminal Court sent Hungary a secret arrest warrant for Netanyahu, hours after PM’s arrival, N12 News reports; Hungary ignored the request and quit the ICC.
The Palestinians who abducted & murdered the Bibas family are now at the top of Israel’s most wanted list, Maariv Online reports; they will be hunted down by NILI, Israel’s special task force for settling the score with October 7 perpetrators.
Amazing story behind apparent death of Sinwar: IDF forces spotted terrorists in building, tank fired shell at site, killing them; army had no idea Sinwar was there. Bottom line: After a huge manhunt by Special Forces, some random tank crew killed Sinwar by mistake...
Notice that Gaza has been very quiet in recent days. Under Iran’s doctrine, Hamas was supposed to be firing heavily at Israel by now to disrupt IDF focus on Lebanon & ease pressure on Hezbollah. But the Hamas terror army barely exists anymore.
Israel got lots of help tonight from the US, Britain, Jordan, France, Saudi Arabia & possibly other partners. Their pilots & other forces engaged in early detection & interception to defend Israel from the Iranian assault. via @N12News
IDF controls about 70% of Gaza 50-60% of Hamas is dead or out of action Killed in battle: Hamas - 10,000; IDF - 236 Entire Hamas military industry wiped out Rocket fire down by over 90% Hamas fans on X: Israel is losing the war!!
So within days we went from “nothing found at Shifa!” to weapons found at Shifa, tunnels found at Shifa, and now videos of hostages held by armed men at Shifa. Difficult days for Hamas fans…
IDF estimate: Hamas battalions falling apart, no longer able to carry out coordinated assaults by 30-40 fighters; some terror operatives avoid clashes with Israeli forces & are mostly trying to survive. via @WallaNews
Israel will use new "sponge bombs" to seal off Hamas terror tunnels in Gaza, @Telegraph reports; this "secret weapon" produces foam that quickly expands & hardens, report says.
🚨 IDF instructs Israelis to prepare for 3-day stay in bomb shelters/secure rooms, ensure supply of food, water, battery-run devices in case power is down. This is a clear indication of imminent escalation into larger war.
Israeli warning to Hezbollah: IDF will destroy Damascus, target Syrian President Assad if Hezbollah joins war; US warships will support Israel in war. Message relayed via France (@ynetalerts)
