The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is preparing for the second and decisive phase of its attack on the final Hamas positions in Gaza City, in an operation that has been dubbed “Gideon’s Chariots II.”

Israeli forces launched a precision strike on Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida in Gaza City on Saturday evening, with Israeli officials expressing “cautious optimism” that the terror group’s propaganda chief was eliminated, though his death has not been confirmed.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced Saturday that the so-called Houthi “prime minister” and several other senior Houthi leaders had been killed in an airstrike last week in Yemen’s capital city, Sana’a.

Israeli forces launched their most dramatic strike in Yemen yet Thursday, targeting a high-level gathering of Houthi leadership as the Iran-backed terror group’s chief delivered a nationally televised address, with Defense Minister Israel Katz declaring: “Whoever raises a hand against Israel, his hand will be cut off.”

Israel’s Ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter, responded Monday to the tragic strike at Gaza’s Nasser Hospital that killed 20 people by invoking President Dwight Eisenhower’s words about the grim realities of war.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) continued attacking Hamas positions in northern Gaza this weekend, despite a growing international outcry claiming that Israel is committing “genocide” by seeking military victory.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) called up 60,000 reservists for duty in the upcoming assault on Gaza City, the last stronghold of Hamas terrorists, over a six-month period to complete the conquest of the territory.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) declared Sunday that it had defeated a Hamas battalion in northern Gaza, one of the last regions not yet fully controlled by Israel, and where Israeli hostages are thought to be held.

Newly released Israeli Defense Forces footage exposes Hamas operatives living in luxury beneath Gaza’s devastated streets, feasting on elaborate meals in well-stocked underground tunnels while the terror group simultaneously spreads propaganda claiming Israel is starving the Palestinian population, with IDF Arabic spokesman Avichay Adraee declaring “this is how the terrorists behave underground—isolated from the suffering of the population and contrary to the false claims of starvation.”

Iranian state media claimed on Tuesday that 27 inmates from the infamous Evin prison in northern Tehran are still at large.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Sunday that it was about to enter Deir al-Balah, one of the few areas of Gaza relatively untouched by the conflict, and where the remaining Israeli hostages are thought to be held.

The two Jew-haters who make up the rap duo Bob Vylan are now falsely claiming, “We are not for the death of Jews.”

The State Department announced Monday that it had revoked the U.S. visas of the members of the U.K. band Bob Vylan, who had led the crowd at the televised Glastonbury festival in chants of “Death to the IDF!”

The lackadaisical response to a musician who told Britons who “want your country back” to “shut the fuck up” cited as two-tier justice.

While a ceasefire continues to hold between Israel and Iran, it has not stopped Israel from eliminating localized threats along its border.

British police have launched a probe into comments made by the far-left rap-rock duo Bob Vylan at the Glastonbury music festival on Saturday, calling for the “death” of the Israeli Defense Forces.

IDF Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin offered a detailed account of Operation Rising Lion, outlining the scope of Israel’s historic strikes on Iran that inflicted sweeping damage to the regime’s nuclear and missile programs, declaring Tehran’s bomb-making capability “removed at this time” while warning the broader fight is “not yet complete.”

Iran reportedly launched a barrage of missiles at Israel early Tuesday morning more than two hours after the ceasefire came into effect. Tehran has denied the allegation.

The Iranian regime approached the ceasefire on Tuesday morning local time by firing at least three waves of missiles at Israel, with an impact on an apartment building that killed at least three civilians in Be’er Sheva.

In a rare disclosure, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) revealed that a long-classified electronic warfare unit has played a “significant” role in intercepting waves of Iranian drones, thwarting dozens of UAV attacks using advanced digital countermeasures since the war began.

A report on Israel’s Army Radio on Monday suggested that the Israeli government believes the war with Iran is winding down, and therefore the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) is striking institutions of the Iranian regime.

Israel attacked key institutions of the Iranian regime on Monday, targeting sites associated with the tyranny of the Ayatollahs — and potentially creating an opening for domestic opponents of their rule to rise against it.

Israel’s Home Front Command swiftly imposed sweeping nationwide restrictions early Sunday morning in response to the U.S. airstrikes on three of Iran’s key nuclear facilities. The country is now on an “essential activity only” footing as part of a heightened defense posture amid fears of imminent Iranian retaliation.
