A twofer!

All good news.

I’ll be happy to split the reward with anyone interested.

[Mik]

I’d donate my share to the IDF drone fund.

In a related note, someone commented, "If it was an intelligence failure for the IDF to not be aware of where these tunnels were, what does it say about the aid organizations whose locations were the bases for these tunnels?"

" killed in an explosion "

LOL

[Renauda]

Perfectly legitimate target. As Menachem Begin once quipped, “who is to condemn?”

Hay @bachophile !

How about an update on the overall sense of how things are over there?

I see the Supreme Court smacked Bibi down.

[LuFins Dad]

Any word on the Mossad team arrested in Turkey?

[bachophile]

@George-K well, yes the news of the Supreme Court would have been huge news three months ago. Now, we all know judicial reform is dead, and bibi will be long gone before his cases come to trial. No one really believes his government will survive the post war rage developing.

Bibi is trying to cast off blame by singling out the military brass as the main culprits in the oct 7 disaster but no one is buying it. Polls have him in the dumpster even within the right wing bloc besides a small(very small) base.

All eyes now on the north. There are about 100000 displaced residents of northern villages who refuse to return until the Hezbollah problem is satisfactorily dealt with. The minimum will be pushing them back north over the litani river. The more serious case scenario is turning Beirut into Gaza. So I’d saw we are looking at least another almost year of unrest.

And like anything horrible, you sort of get to used to it. Daily life has returned to a tense normalcy. Stores open. Traffic on the roads. Restaurants back in business. Only thing missing are the tourists.

[Mik]

The lack of tourism has to hurt.

[jon-nyc]

Maybe I’ll take the boy there this summer.

The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said on Friday it had opened an investigation into several employees suspected of involvement in the Oct. 7 attacks in Israel by Hamas-led militants and that it had severed ties with those staff members.

"The Israeli authorities have provided UNRWA with information about the alleged involvement of several UNRWA employees in the horrific attacks on Israel on Oct. 7," said Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA commissioner general.

"To protect the agency's ability to deliver humanitarian assistance, I have taken the decision to immediately terminate the contracts of these staff members and launch an investigation in order to establish the truth without delay."
