🇮🇱 IDF CHIEF APPROVES NEW GAZA OPERATIONAL FRAMEWORK AS HAMAS CLAIMS GROUND INCURSIONS; IDF CHIEF IN LEBANON VOWS TO STRIKE PROACTIVELY ACROSS ALL FRONTS, WARNS IRAN "LISTEN TO EVERY HUM IN THE SKY"

🕑 August 13, 2025 – 8:00 PM (Israel time)

‼️ Hamas has claimed that Israeli forces conducted ground incursions in Gaza City. In parallel, IDF Chief of the General Staff, Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, has approved the central framework for the next phase of operations in the Gaza Strip.

The approval followed a high-level meeting attended by the General Staff Forum, representatives from the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), and senior commanders. The session reviewed recent IDF actions, including yesterday’s operations in Gaza’s Zeitoun neighborhood.

Discussions focused on refining the core strategy for the coming stages of the campaign, in alignment with directives from the political leadership. Lt. Gen. Zamir emphasized increasing troop readiness, bolstering preparedness for reserve recruitment, and ensuring time for forces to regroup and recover ahead of upcoming missions.

♦️ During a field tour in southern Lebanon today, Chief of the General Staff LTG Eyal Zamir praised the IDF’s achievements since the ceasefire, calling them “unprecedented.” He visited the area alongside BG Yuval Gaz, and other senior officers. Zamir met with active-duty and reserve forces, commending their role in protecting northern communities and preserving hard-won operational gains.

“We are operating according to a new strategic approach – we will not allow threats to grow,” he said. “The achievements in the northern arena are unprecedented – since the ceasefire, over 240 terrorists have been eliminated and approximately 600 airstrikes have been carried out. We are preserving our achievements.”

♦️ Zamir stressed the IDF’s proactive doctrine: “We are on the front line, we are striking proactively, and we are constantly thwarting threats. We do this in all arenas – we identify a threat and eliminate it. Our proactive approach and initiative are central to our mission.”

He highlighted that the day began with approving plans for operational control of Gaza, followed by ongoing activity in Lebanon. Simultaneously, the IDF is conducting operations in Syria, Yemen, and Judea and Samaria, while closely monitoring developments in Iran. “We are in a multi-arena war, adapting concepts to the threats. We are in all the arenas – launching strikes, all on our own initiative,” Zamir said.

Emphasizing readiness, he urged troops to “use this period to accomplish the objective while maintaining and improving the spirit and readiness of the unit. Many more challenges lie ahead of us. Our role is to shape our national security as we see fit. We will not go backwards.”

He concluded by affirming trust in his soldiers: “We will work to strengthen the operational readiness of our troops and build their ability to carry out the missions. On behalf of the residents who live here in this arena, on behalf of the IDF – I trust you, your vigilance, and your alertness.”

⚠️ In a separate development, following threats from the Iranian regime against Israel’s senior military and political leadership, Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a direct warning to the head of the Iranian forces: “Listen to every hum in the sky.”

🔘HOTTEST NIGHT EVER, UN HUNGER LIES, DEF. MIN vs IDF CHIEF, SNAPBACK IRAN - Real time from Israel

🅸🆂🆁🅰️🅴🅻 🅁🄴🄰🄻🅃🄸🄼🄴 - "Connecting the World to Israel in Realtime"

📌WEATHER WARNING - extreme heat + high dust load continuing through Friday. Take heat and dust precautions.
. Last night temperatures were the hottest overnight temps on record for Israel.

🎗️MORE DEAL TALKS - Hamas officially announced last night that a delegation on its behalf, headed by Khalil al-Hayya, arrived in Cairo and began preparatory talks ahead of the discussions regarding a ceasefire in Gaza, which will be held with senior Egyptian officials during the day.

▪️UN HUNGER LIES - The Washington Free Beacon reveals: The UN secretly changed the criteria for defining hunger in conflict areas, in order to allow a declaration of hunger in Gaza. In the report The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) published on July 29, the criterion requiring that 30% of children in the conflict area be malnourished to declare hunger was reduced to only 15%.

In other words, the criterion for Gaza was cut by 50% compared to other conflict areas in order to allow a declaration of hunger.

▪️DEF. MIN. ON THE IDF APPT BROUHAHA… As the Defense Minister, who is responsible for the IDF and accountable to the citizens of the State of Israel—and to them alone—I will continue to … guide the IDF and the defense establishment, … including strict supervision over appointments. According to the law, I am responsible for approving appointments from the rank of Colonel and above, and the Chief of Staff acts as the recommender…

The attempt to now change procedures we have worked under, perhaps on the advice of a group of anti-government advisors stirring the pot, and to replace them by trying to establish facts on the ground and in improvised meetings—will not succeed. It is regrettable that unnecessary harm has been caused to IDF officers, many of whom are heroes who have dedicated themselves to the security of Israel, and that this conduct has led to harm to them.

And to all the (IDF) critics and moral preachers—some humility wouldn’t hurt. Read the investigations published by the IDF about what happened in the IDF during your tenure in senior command positions— about mistaken decisions -made regarding force building, about arrogance, blindness, and condescension, about lack of supervision, and about the depth of the enormous failure that occurred—read and lower your eyes.

▪️HOLON INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY - allows placement of an art installation supporting the PLO???

▪️ECONOMY - Elbit Systems (hi-tech military equipment) wins a massive $1.6 billion contract with a country in Europe.

♦️SOUTH GAZA - according to Gaza channels - air strikes and deliberate building explosions on the ground in Khan Yunis, south Gaza.

🔹HOUTHIS SAY - In a statement, the Iran-backed terror group says it launched six drones at Israel, targeting "vital targets" in Haifa, the Negev Desert, Eilat, and Beersheba. "The operations successfully achieved their objectives, thanks to Allah," the Houthis claim. Only one of the drones reached Israel, and was intercepted offshore.

🇱🇧SNAPBACK SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAN - The Financial Times reports that Britain, France and Germany informed the UN yesterday in an official letter that they are prepared to activate the Snapback mechanism of the crippling sanctions against Iran if it does not resume nuclear talks. Because it comes through the UN and it encompasses many countries, it imposes secondary sanctions on anyone who trades with Iran.

Iran has previously threatened various extreme responses if this is to occur.

🇱🇧IRANIAN SENIOR VISIT TO LEBANON - Ali Larijani, the Secretary-General of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and a close advisor to the Supreme Leader, landed in Beirut. He was received by a large number of Hezbollah operatives near Beirut’s airport. Larijani is coming to Lebanon after completing a visit to Iraq, where he worked to preserve the power of the pro-Iranian militias against efforts to disarm them under American pressure.

🇱🇧IRANIAN MISSILE TEST? Locals from Tehran (Iranian capital) report seeing at least 3 unidentified projectiles launched last night.

❌️ TERRORISTS DISGUISED AS HUMANITARIAN AID WORKERS ELIMINATED IN GAZA

🕑 Aug 13, 2025, 12:15 AM (Israel Time)

♦️ The IDF has confirmed a targeted airstrike last week that eliminated five armed terrorists in Gaza who were operating under the false cover of the international humanitarian organization World Central Kitchen (WCK). The terrorists used a vehicle marked with the WCK emblem and wore yellow vests to appear as aid workers, deliberately exploiting humanitarian protections to avoid being targeted while posing a direct threat to Israeli forces.

The incident occurred near Deir al-Balah, where Israeli troops identified the suspicious vehicle and the armed men nearby. After verifying the threat, the Israeli Air Force carried out the strike, neutralizing all five terrorists.

COGAT’s Gaza District Coordination and Liaison Office immediately contacted WCK to verify the vehicle’s legitimacy. WCK confirmed that the vehicle and the individuals involved had no affiliation with the organization and strongly condemned the impersonation.

“WCK was contacted by Israel's Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), and confirmed the vehicle and persons of interest were not affiliated with WCK. We strongly condemn anyone posing as WCK or other humanitarians as this endangers civilians and aid workers. The safety and security of our teams are our top priority,” the organization stated.

The IDF stressed that Hamas and other terrorist groups routinely exploit humanitarian aid efforts to further their military operations, undermining the welfare of civilians in Gaza. Israel will continue to work closely with international aid agencies to prevent such abuse and protect genuine humanitarian missions.

❌ ISRAELI AIRSTRIKE ELIMINATED FIVE AL-JAZEERA JOURNALISTS IN GAZA, INCLUDING ANAS AL-SHARIF ACCUSED OF HAMAS ROLE; ISRAEL TO LAUNCH FINAL PUSH AGAINST HAMAS IN GAZA CITY; IDF TO PRESENT PLAN FOR MASSIVE GAZA SEIZURE OPERATION

🕑 Monday, August 11, 2025, 2:00 AM

🎯 An Israeli airstrike hit a journalists’ tent near Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, killing five members of Al Jazeera’s crew. Among the dead were prominent correspondent Anas Al-Sharif and journalist Mohammed Qreiqa, along with three camera operators — Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal, and Moamen Aliwa.

The IDF confirmed the strike, stating that Al-Sharif was “a terrorist operating under the guise of a journalist” for Al Jazeera. According to the military, he served as a Hamas cell leader, led a rocket-launching squad, and was part of the Nukhba Force in Hamas’s East Jabalia Battalion. Officials said intelligence documents seized in Gaza last October “unequivocally” proved his military affiliation and integration into the Qatari-based network.

The IDF added that Al-Sharif was responsible for advancing rocket attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers. They said the strike was carried out using precision munitions, with aerial surveillance and additional intelligence, in an effort to limit civilian harm.

Al Jazeera has strongly denied the allegations, accusing Israel of systematically targeting its employees in Gaza. The network insists its journalists were performing their professional duties when the tent was struck.

🇮🇱 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel’s upcoming military plans in Gaza are aimed at eliminating the remaining Hamas strongholds. “Gaza City is the last stronghold of Hamas, and we will proceed to take control of it,” he said, adding that Israel will employ “various surprises” and has “the capability to eliminate it.”

Netanyahu made clear that the conflict could end immediately if Hamas surrendered. “The war could end tomorrow if Hamas lays down its arms. Since Hamas refused to disarm, Israel has no choice but to complete the mission,” he stated.

He also addressed the challenges Israel faces in the global information arena. “We are not winning the propaganda war because of the bots in social media,” he said, noting that many world leaders privately acknowledge Israel’s position but feel constrained by public opinion, “especially in Europe.”

Reaffirming Israel’s democratic principles, Netanyahu stressed: “We are a state that owns an army, not an army that rules a state.”

On potential threats from Iran, he said Israel is actively preparing. “We are preparing for different scenarios. The Iranians are also preparing for different scenarios,” he warned.

🔹 IDF’s Proposed Gaza Operation
In the coming days, the IDF will present political leaders with a large-scale plan to seize Gaza. The proposal includes mobilizing about 250,000 soldiers to encircle Gaza City, cutting it off completely. Once the siege is established, residents inside the city would be transferred out, with the operation likely expanding to surrounding refugee camps. The plan also calls for setting up stations to distribute food and basic supplies during the process.

▪ Calls to Dismantle the Palestinian Authority: National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir announced: "I will demand that the PM, at the next cabinet meeting, propose practical and immediate steps to dismantle the Palestinian Authority."

🔹 Iranian-Backed Terror Activity in Judea and Samaria: Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that Jenin, Tulkarem, and Nur Shams camps in Judea and Samaria have become "hotbeds of terror, funded and armed by Iran, to act as another front against Israel."
