1) Musa Ali Daqduq is responsible for establishing the Shia militias in Iraq, including the Mahdi Army and its offshoots such as Hezbollah Brigades, Asaib Ahl al Haq, and others, to operate like Lebanese Hezbollah. Daqduq is now setting his sights on U.S. troops in Syria.

IDF says it arrested Maher Aseid. He, his son and nephew carried out an armed attack on an IDF bus in the Jordan Valley last September. His son died after being severely burned while carrying out the attack.

An interesting trio in Jenin today. The father of the Jordan Valley gunman hugs Fathi Hazem. Hazem's son carried out an attack in Tel Aviv earlier this year. And then there's Maher al-Akras in red, who went on hunger strike and was released by Israeli authorities last year.

For a few reasons, I am unsure if this is the act of an organized cell in the West Bank. Also, the timing is interesting since Israel recently eliminated Islamic Jihad commander Khalil Bahtini who was working on establishing an infrastructure to manufacture rockets in the West… Show more

The IDF says it's looking for a homemade rocket launcher in the West Bank. Likely the same launcher that was shown in a video on social media today.

It is unlikely the failed homemade rocket launch was done by an organized cell in the West Bank. The apparent failed launch was claimed by an unknown group calling itself Katibat Al-Ayyash which is an apparent nod to former Hamas bomb maker Yahya Ayyash.

It is the first time the grouping of Palestinian militant factions has issued this type of statement. After the recent death of Islamic Jihad member Khader Adnan during a hunger strike, Hamas and its cadres appear to have taken a harder position regarding Palestinian prisoners.

The Joint Operations Room (JOR) of the Palestinian factions published a martyr video of Islamic Jihad leader Khalil al-Bahtini who was killed by Israel in the initial stage of Operation Shield and Arrow two weeks ago. I believe this is the first martyr video the JOR has produced.

A nascent West Bank militant organization called Katibat Al-Fajr claims responsibility for a shooting attack near the West Bank settlement of Migdalim. The shooting was reported approximately an hour ago. The group did not provide evidence to support their claim.

Yeah, no, Hezbollah’s exercise was not meant to, uh, “rally the Shiite community” or to, uh, “send a subtle — subtle, mind you — message” to the irrelevant domestic riffraff that are billed as its “opponents.”

An interesting tidbit to share: Islamic Jihad's official online Telegram channel gained approximately 50k subscribers over the course of the Gaza conflict last week. Channels operated by other Palestinian armed groups also grew, including Hamas.

What appear to members of Hamas in the West Bank issuing a threat on Otzma Yehudit leader Itamar Ben-Gvir. I'm not sure why the militants in the footage are using a map of south San Francisco. Maybe they know something we don't.

Wouldn't happen without a decision by Hamas or Islamic Jihad since "rebel youth" include members of Palestinian militant organizations. Though, I have not seen evidence indicating this is a return to a drawn out balloon campaign of previous years.

Others inside Gaza are reportedly organizing protests along the border, saying there will be “a general alert in all rebel youth units along the eastern borders of the Gaza Strip.” Reports also indicating potential launches of incendiary balloons into southern Israel.

The Hamas poster saying the Sword of Jerusalem will not be sheathed is likely in regard to the anniversary of the May 2021 Gaza conflict. I don't think this is a warning and the probability of rocket fire during the upcoming flag march in Jerusalem is low.

Islamic Jihad in Jenin releases a video showing recent clashes with Israeli forces. Civilians, including children place themselves in danger by standing beside gunmen firing at Israeli forces. Also, militants carrying fire extinguishers rigged to explode appear to be used.
