Countries that signed the Abraham Accords are now Israel’s fastest-growing arms market, buying more Israeli weapons than the United States.

Exports to these nations surged from 3% to 15% of Israel’s total defense sales in just two years.

As Europe’s share of Israeli defense exports declined, Abraham Accords countries increasingly turned to Israeli air-defense and surveillance systems.

The IDF says it is investigating Hezbollah's use of first-person view (FPV) drones with apparent night-vision capabilities.

The terror group this past week published several clips showing FPV drones with what appears to be thermal cameras. Two IDF soldiers have been killed in explosive drone attacks that took place at night this week.

"The IDF is continuously and consistently developing responses to contend with the drone threat across all sectors," the army says in response to a query.

The IDF says the drone threat is "a dynamic and evolving threat, characterized by inexpensive, readily available tools with a high rate of variability."

"Trends in the field, including the use of night-vision capabilities, are known and being studied," the IDF says.

The military says that "various review processes are being conducted alongside the implementation of solutions and operational methods to contend with the threat, in accordance with lessons learned from the field and the operational situation assessment."

عندما وصلت إلى السويد كلاجئ عام 2013، كنت مضطراً للعمل في أي وظيفة أستطيع الحصول عليها، فعملت مؤقتاً كعامل بوفيه في إحدى الصالات الكبيرة التي كان العرب يقيمون فيها أعراسهم وحفلاتهم.

في أحد الأيام، أُقيم عرس لعائلة سورية، وقبل انتهاء الحفل تجمع المدعوون حول الـDJ وبدأوا يرقصون على أغنية «ملايين ملايين السوريين» التي تمجّد بشار الأسد، وذلك بعد وقت قصير من هجوم الغوطة وقصفها بالأسلحة الكيميائية. شعرت حينها بحزن عميق ما زلت أذكره حتى اليوم، وغادرت بعدها إلى غرفتي في أحد مراكز إيواء اللاجئين محبطاً وغاضباً.

أما اليوم، فأشعر بارتياح كبير تجاه هذا الخبر. وسيُفاجأ عدد كبير من السوريين بحجم وجود الشبيحة والمتورطين في سفك الدم السوري داخل أوروبا.

وأعتقد أن كثيرين ممن يقيمون في اوروبا سيُصدمون عندما تُكشف الأسماء من قبل السلطات السورية، فهناك عدد من المتورطين الذين اختبأوا هنا وهناك، ولم يتوقعوا يوماً أن يسقط النظام الديكتاتوري أو أن تُكشف جرائمهم وهوياتهم أمام الرأي العام.

The Gulf states have accelerated their search for new air-defence systems after suffering from thousands of Iranian missile and UAV attacks.

South Korea, Ukraine, the United Kingdom and the United States are among those countries that have been approached by Gulf states interested in near-term acquisitions, which include interceptor missiles, interceptor UAVs, point-defence systems, radar and surface-to-air missile systems.

The Hezbollah tunnel I visited in Lebanon had its entrance in a cemetery.

The sad thing is that it could have been just about any professor. Complete censoring of history. I was reading some articles recently about the assassination of Malcom Kerr. Time magazine, for instance, clearly stated that this was carried out by Iranian militias. No journalist in Beirut would ever be so candid these days

Will Ryan Grim and Jeremy Scahill of drop site news report on this? Will Aaron Mate or Rania Khalek or Max Blumenthal be the “independent” journalists and inquire? Will Susan Abulhawa and Sana Saeed feel any outrage for this? There are many many more that won’t. And over many years didn’t and wouldn’t. And worse, whitewashed this. But they have somehow convinced many that they are necessary voices. How grotesque.

They have ZERO feeling of responsibility for having dragged the country into this war. #Hezbollah

[Inga Schei @IngaSchei]

I agree that Hezbollah cannot be dismantled by military force. My angry reaction is due to your rationale that the Shia community is the main obstacle, followed by your general lack of sensitivity toward Shia victims of Hezbollah. It’s not fair game to attack Shia that have been expelled from lebanon by Hezbollah as “DC crowd”. In any case, when these people were in Lebanon they were maligned as “Shia of the US embassy or Shia of Emirati embassy”. Doesn’t really matter where they are geographically in terms of smear campaign. Regardless what either of us feels the main point is that Hezbollah would not have exiled Hanin or killed Lokman if their ideas were so “out of touch”.

‼️ On Wednesday, a Lebanese woman boarded a plane with her 2 children, preparing to leave because she wasn’t sure whether Temporary Protected Status (TPS) would be extended.

Moments before departure, she received a call informing her that TPS had in fact been extended, giving her the chance to step off the plane with her children & stay.

Having said that, credit is due to the Lebanese Ambassador here, who worked tirelessly to help make this happen despite the administration’s previous position on these programs.

"Day after day, the emphasis falls overwhelmingly on Israeli operations, Israeli warnings, Israeli escalation, and Israeli airstrikes. Hezbollah’s attacks often appeared deep in the article, stripped of scale and frequency, if they appeared at all." https://t.co/XKqGdUaXCr

Across much of the Western media landscape, the impression left for readers is that Israel drives the violence while Hezbollah simply exists somewhere in the background of the story that it actually starts.

That distortion now shapes public understanding far beyond the battlefield itself. Israel is often discussed as though it exists outside the standards applied to every other sovereign nation. For months, rockets strike civilian communities while armed drones target patrols, border positions, and towns across northern Israel. Tens of thousands of Israelis remain displaced from their homes. Yet once Israel responds militarily, much of the international focus shifts almost immediately away from the side initiating the attacks and toward the country attempting to stop them.
