Stephen Pollard: Netanyahu Isn't Blocking Peace in Gaza
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the Israeli cabinet: "The IDF will not carry out any withdrawal [in Gaza] until Hamas is disarmed. And when I say the disarming of Hamas, it means heavy weaponry, lighter weaponry, all weaponry." He is far from alone in his response. For what should surely be obvious reasons, Israelis do not trust Hamas.

The idea that Israel should take the word of the organization behind the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust that it will now disarm should be self-evidently preposterous. There is no possibility in the real world of any deal progressing, let alone succeeding, which requires Israel to trust Hamas. Israeli opposition leaders Gadi Eisenkot, Naftali Bennett and Avigdor Lieberman have said more or less exactly the same thing as Netanyahu. Netanyahu is not an outlier on this in Israel.

The merit of the proposed plan is precisely that it does not involve trust. It is based on verification - as outlined in an interview on Channel 12 in Israel with Nickolay Mladenov, the former UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process who now leads the Board of Peace. The proposal does not require Israel to withdraw a single troop from anywhere in Gaza until the first stage of weapons decommissioning has been verified by a U.S.-led body. If Hamas does not meet its obligation to disarm, Israel remains where it is now. Netanyahu said nothing which prevents the Board of Peace plan from being implemented.
Fact Checking NBC: Did Hamas Ever Say it Would Disarm
NBC’s coverage of negotiations over a plan to ultimately rid Hamas of its weapons continues to be problematic. In at least two instances now, the outlet has presented Hamas’ agreement on disarmament as an unqualified factual description of the group’s own stated position. This comes despite a CAMERA correction request.

The first example is from August 3, when Yuliya Talmazan and Yarden Segev’s piece, “Israel conveys concerns to the U.S. about Hamas disarmament deal.” They state that Hamas has “indicated that while it agreed to disarm, this was conditional on Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza and complete cessation of ‘all forms of aggression.’”

Hamas itself disputes the characterization. The use of the word “indicated” grants Talmazan and Segev some leeway with the phrasing, but Hamas senior official and spokesman Ghazi Hamad told the Wall Street Journal on July 30 that the group “didn’t say disarmament, didn’t say handing over the weapons, and didn’t agree on any Israeli involvement.” Instead, Hamad clarifies that Hamas has agreed to “place its weapons in storage,” in control of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), Gaza’s proposed transitional, technocratic government. According to Neomi Neumann of The Washington Institute, “Israel insists on the physical removal” of weapons from Gaza’s territory, while Hamas will interpret the storage of weapons inside Gaza as meeting the deal’s requirements. The latest 15-point roadmap also does not define which weapons would be prohibited in the future Gaza managed by the NCAG.

The Journal report adds that Egyptian mediators did not “explicitly mention that Hamas agreed to disarm in an official statement, noting instead ‘their agreement to the road map’ and a future meeting in Cairo ‘to discuss implementation mechanisms and reaffirm the commitment of all parties to the terms of the agreement.’” Translated from bureaucratic speech, Hamas – infamously patient and determined to drag negotiations out – simply agreed to another lengthy process to continue talking about disarmament.

Coming four days later, Talmazan and Segev’s report should have mentioned these crucial details.

But NBC reporters erred in the same manner when covering Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s August 9 statement that the Israel Defense Forces would not withdraw until Hamas was completely disarmed. It’s to be noted that the original 20-Point Plan calls for the IDF to withdraw from the Yellow Line only after Hamas has been disarmed, a fact reiterated on August 3 by the Board, of Peace.

In the article, “Israel rejects Trump’s 15-point plan for Gaza, Netanyahu says,” Mithil Aggarwal reported that “Hamas had last month said that it would disarm, but only after Israel withdraws completely and stops all hostilities. The group also said that laying down its heavy weapons would come later in the process, conditional on the establishment of a Palestinian state.”

Even within the paragraph, there are major conditional qualifiers to Hamas’ purported statement. Once again, NBC confidently presents the word “disarm,” even after the terrorist organization’s own spokesperson disclosed that it was not currently an option.

Washington remains more optimistic. U.S. President Donald Trump stated on July 30 that negotiators had “reached a historic agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza.”

NBC reported the news as if Hamas had published an official statement agreeing to the disarmament process, but without any official Hamas statement confirming that it had agreed to disarm.
Family of American Murdered in Jerusalem Sbarro Bombing Sues Female Hamas Mastermind 25 Years After Massacre
The family of a 15-year-old American girl who was killed in one of the most high-profile terrorist attacks in Israel's history is suing the Hamas operative who planned the operation in an American court for the first time, hoping to secure justice 25 years after the horrific bombing claimed their daughter's life, according to a copy of the lawsuit obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Arnold and Frimet Roth, on behalf of their daughter Malki, filed a lawsuit on Tuesday against Ahlam Aref Ahmad al-Tamimi, the female terrorist who helped plan and execute the 2001 bombing on a Sbarro restaurant in downtown Jerusalem that killed 15 people and wounded approximately 122 more, including seven children. The attack, carried out during the Second Intifada, or uprising, against Israel, sent shockwaves through the country that reverberated internationally. Al-Tamimi was sentenced in 2003 to serve 16 life terms by Israel, but was ultimately released from prison in 2011 during a prisoner release deal that granted her citizenship in Jordan.

Since that time, al-Tamimi has "publicly described her role in the Sbarro attack," "celebrated its lethality," and "expressed no remorse" for the terror bombing, the lawsuit states. Al-Tamimi even became a revered media figure while in Jordan, "hosting a weekly television program on the Hamas-affiliated Al-Quds satellite channel" from 2012 to 2016. Al-Tamimi remains on the FBI's Most Wanted list, and there is an outstanding U.S. warrant for her arrest in Jordan, which will not extradite her to face federal criminal charges originally filed in 2013.

The Roth family’s civil case—filed under the Anti-Terrorism Act in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia—offers a new pathway to hold al-Tamimi directly responsible for her crimes in an American court 25 years after their daughter was murdered. There is already legal precedent for holding foreign terrorists accountable in American civil courts, where they can be tried without the extradition necessary for a criminal trial.

"Jordan can block an extradition but it cannot block a judgment," said Mark Goldfeder, CEO and director of the National Jewish Advocacy Center (NJAC), which is handling the case alongside the Schoen Law Firm. "For twenty-five years, Ahlam Tamimi has lived free in Jordan while the Roth family lived with an empty chair at their table. Congress opened the doors of American courts to American victims of terror, and after twenty-five years, the Roths are walking through them."

Al-Tamimi remains one of the most brazen faces of terrorism living free in Jordan, where she is protected from the FBI and other federal authorities seeking her extradition. The State Department has a $5 million bounty on al-Tamimi's head and, in 2017, the Department of Justice unsealed its criminal complaint and arrest warrant.


Ex-Mossad Chief: MI5 Praised Us for Foiling Terror Plots in UK
Former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen, director of Israel's foreign intelligence service from 2016-2021, told a Times podcast this week that Mossad had "saved many, many lives on British soil." Cohen said, "I quote your former director of MI5 who said, 'Yossi, you deserve the Oscar for what you did here. You have disrupted a huge quantity of terror activity inside the UK. Thank you very much for doing it.' I think that the UK government should do exactly the same. I think that the UK has to be super supportive to the State of Israel, as we had been to you when you had suffered terrorism on your lands."

Cohen said that UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham's condemnation of Israel last month crossed a line. "Criticism is OK, but opposing what we're doing is not OK. The State of Israel never initiated this war in Gaza. The terrorists did, Hamas and Islamic Jihad did."

Cohen also revealed that some of Mossad's most effective operations simply leveraged its ruthless reputation without the need for any violent actions. "People have left their positions in defense organizations in Tehran because we told them, 'we know you.' We've sent them flowers to their houses and to their families saying, 'Hello Mahmoud, or whatever, we know that you work for the nukes and you may be next. So better for you to leave what you're doing right now.' And they've left."
Netanyahu calls UK ‘Islamic Republic of Britain’ in radio interview
Benjamin Netanyahu has described the UK as the “Islamic Republic of Britain” while warning that Israel is determined to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

The Israeli prime minister made the provocative remark during an interview with Israel’s Galey Israel radio station.

“You might call Britain the ‘Islamic Republic of Britain,’” Netanyahu said.

He then referred to a remark he said had been made by someone else about Britain becoming an Islamic republic with nuclear weapons.

“Someone said that the first Islamic republic with nuclear weapons will be the Islamic Republic of Britain,” he said.

“We’re making sure there won’t be another one – you know, in Iran.”

Netanyahu did not explain in the remarks why he used the description of Britain.

His comments come against the backdrop of heightened tensions over Iran and its nuclear ambitions, which Israel has long regarded as an existential security threat.
Gulf Oil Giants Are Spending Billions to Build Ways around Strait of Hormuz
Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains greatly curtailed because of the war in Iran.

Much of the oil getting through the strait is on tankers navigating a treacherous gantlet of Iranian attack drones, or running dark with their location devices turned off.

Gulf countries are now intent on breaking their dependence on the narrow waterway. They are building or expanding pipelines and other infrastructure that can bypass it, and vastly expanding storage capacity in places like Asia.

These endeavors will cost billions of dollars and take years to complete, but companies and governments recognize that relying too heavily on a single transit route is a risk they can no longer afford to take.

In Fujairah, a UAE port city facing the Gulf of Oman, construction crews are working around the clock to lay a secondary crude line parallel to an existing pipeline, aiming to double the country's bypass capacity to 3.6 million barrels per day.

In Saudi Arabia, the state oil giant, Aramco, is accelerating a multibillion-dollar expansion of its 1,200-km. East-West Pipeline to the Red Sea port of Yanbu.
Khaled Abu Toameh: Hamas's Secret Weapon to Continue Ruling Gaza
On August 11, Hamas urged Palestinians to register for the Palestinian parliamentary election scheduled for late November. Hamas must not be allowed to participate in the election. The Iran-backed Palestinian terrorist group that carried out the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in Israel has no right to exist as a military organization and should have no right to exist as a political organization either.

In 2006, Hamas was permitted to participate in the Palestinian parliamentary election without first being required to dismantle its terrorist infrastructure or abandon its 1988 charter, which calls for the elimination of Israel. The result was disastrous. Hamas won 74 of the 132 seats in the Palestinian Legislative Council, compared with 45 for Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction. One year later, Hamas violently seized control of Gaza, expelled the Palestinian Authority, and established its own regime.

Hamas then turned Gaza into a massive terrorist base. It built tunnels, accumulated rockets and missiles, recruited, armed and trained tens of thousands of terrorists, and fought repeated rounds of war against Israel. The lesson could hardly be clearer: allowing terrorists to participate in elections just gives them the legitimacy and institutions they need to consolidate power.

Hamas has reason to be optimistic about elections. Despite the catastrophe it brought upon Palestinians in Gaza by launching the Oct. 7 attack, Hamas remains popular among Palestinians. Polling by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research has shown Hamas maintaining a substantial advantage over Fatah in party preference and in a hypothetical parliamentary election.

69% of the Palestinians oppose disarming Hamas. 86% said they did not believe that Hamas committed the atrocities against Israeli civilians depicted in videos from Oct. 7. Hamas may therefore see elections as its next route back to power and international legitimacy. Did the Allies, after World War II, allow the Nazi Party to continue governing Germany?
"We Know They Are Coming": Syrian Druze Province Fears Takeover
Last summer, after days of clashes in Sweida Province in Syria between local groups and the entry of government forces into the fighting, more than 1,700 people, most of them Druse, were killed, according to the UN. "We know they are coming," said Sumayah al-Yousef, 65, a Druse resident of Sweida who was among the people displaced. Druse residents repeatedly told us that it was only a matter of time before the government moved to assert control over the area.

In July 2025, skirmishes broke out between armed Bedouins, part of Syria's Sunni majority, and Druse militias. Then government forces, along with allied fighters, descended on Sweida, killing civilians, destroying towns and villages, and displacing tens of thousands.

Israel has a sizable Druse minority and has long cultivated close ties with the community, a relationship that extends to the Syrian Druse. Israeli officials are uneasy about the Syrian government extending its authority near its border, fearing it could become a staging ground for attacks. After the clashes, Israel launched airstrikes against government forces in Sweida. Israeli officials vowed to protect the Syrian Druse and demanded that the region remain demilitarized, without the Syrian Army or its allies deploying or operating in the area.

"Israel stood with us," said Druse spiritual leader Sheikh Hikmat al-Hijri in January. "Israel was the first to extend a helping hand." Clashes still occasionally break out in villages along the front line between the National Guard, a 28,000-strong militia in Sweida loyal to Mr. al-Hijri, and government forces and their allies. Sweida officials say the government has repeatedly cut electricity and water, damaged power lines and pipes during military operations, and blocked aid groups from repairing them. Humanitarian aid, including food and medical supplies, has often been delayed or restricted.
Israeli officials stunned by Iran’s rapid military recovery after 2026 war
Israeli defense officials have been shocked by the speed of Iran’s recovery following the early 2026 war, The Jerusalem Post has learned.

This includes both IDF and Mossad officials, though the military was the lead evaluator of targeting and the harm from the targeting of the Islamic Republic’s defense sector.

Numerous foreign media reports have poked holes in specific aspects of Israel’s narrative of military success setting back Iran’s military industrial complex by years already dating back to March of this year, but for months, apolitical IDF expert officials held the line that the damage was so extensive that even if some specific claims were off, Israel’s general narrative of setting Iran back years held.

Four months after the main war ended in April, the Post understands that the IDF is now seeing a stunningly speedy turnaround that it did not expect and not in merely one or another specific area, but in many areas, including regarding the ballistic missile threat.

Iran's history of recovery
Part of what is surprising in this story is that the IDF was already surprised by the Iranians in this area of rapid recovery twice: in October 2024 and January 2025.

After striking 20 critical ballistic missile and industrial military targets in Iran in October 2024, the IDF claimed that it had set back Iranian future missile production by a year or more.

By early 2025, the IDF had already seen the Iranians fully recover their high-speed ballistic missile production pace, so much so that the military moved up a possible fall 2025 attack to June 2025.

After attacking around 100 missile and industrial military targets in June 2025, the IDF said it had found the formula to truly set back Iran’s missile production by multiple years.

There was reason to believe this given that five times as many targets had been struck and that the IDF had dropped an exponentially larger volume of bombs.

Yet, once again, somehow, Iran figured out ways to recover high-speed missile production, again stunning the IDF.

What was estimated as around 1,300 missiles in June 2025 became 2,500 by February of this year.

Finally, the IDF and the US together said they achieved the goal during the around 40-day war in 2026.

Over 2,600 missile and industrial military targets were attacked, and both the US and Israel collectively attacked Iran around 30,000 times.

This was an increase of 26 times compared to 2025 and over 100 times compared to 2024.

IDF officials told the Post that every large and small part of the military industry had been shattered to pieces.
Jerusalem, Washington hit back on UN claims of rampant ‘settler violence’
Israel’s United Nations envoy told the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday the facts regarding violence in Judea and Samaria contradict the “rising settler violence” narrative.

The council held a briefing on Judea and Samaria, as requested by European members Denmark, France, Greece, Latvia and the United Kingdom, collectively known as the “E5.”

The briefing was purportedly to condemn the alleged rise of violence by Jewish residents in the region, which the United Nations refers to as settlers.

“This May, there were 348 Palestinian terrorist attacks in Judea and Samaria. Eight pipe bomb attacks, 282 stone-throwing incidents, 32 fire bomb attacks, 24 arson incidents and two serious car ramming attacks,” said Danny Danon, Israel’s U.N. ambassador, noting that the high figure was higher than even the 325 recorded attacks in April. Over 400 more attacks were stopped by Israeli security forces preemptively, Danon said.

“How many of you have condemned these terrorist attacks against Jews? None of these numbers were reported by the briefers, and none of these attacks were mentioned by any of you,” he continued. “This is the bias we are confronting today.”

Meanwhile, Danon said Israel is cracking down on attacks by Jews against Palestinians, with 354 investigations opened, 20 indictments filed and 35 residents arrested through the first quarter of this year.

“This has led to a decrease in extremist violence,” said Danon. “That is why calling it ‘settler violence’ is a provocation. It denies our connection to the land of Israel. It distracts from constant terrorist attacks against Israelis and it collectively labels entire innocent communities for the crimes of the marginal extremist minority.


Settler attacked near Kiryat Arba
Club-wielding Palestinians ambushed a Jewish settler near Kiryat Arba, Army Radio reported on Thursday evening.

According to the report, the woman alerted authorities, which led to the Kiryat Arba police chief to rush to the scene. Upon his arrival, he was pelted with stones, leaving him slightly injured in the head, Army Radio said.

Despite this, he managed to fire shots in the air, after which the assailants fled, the report stated.

Woman abducted to Hebron by relatives, rescued in good health
In a separate incident, a woman in her 20's living in central Israel who had been forcibly taken to Hebron was located and rescued by authorities on Thursday evening, according to a statement from the Israel Police spokesperson.

Israeli police, IDF troops and Palestinian Authority police were involved in the rescue operation.

The woman had reportedly been taken to the West Bank city by her relatives, who were detained and will be transferred to the Tel Aviv district for further investigation, police said.

During the operation forces were deployed outside of the city, stopping a suspicious vehicle and alerting police to the scene, whereafter the woman was found.

The woman was in good health at the time of her rescue, police said.
Construction Heads Say Foreign Workers Better for Israel
Following the Oct. 7, 2023, attack, the entry of tens of thousands of Palestinian construction workers into Israel was banned overnight and the construction industry ground to a halt until foreign workers began to arrive.

Baruch Hadad, co-CEO of veteran Israeli construction company Omer Construction and Engineering, said, "I welcome the change taking place in the workforce and the switch to foreign laborers."

"They have many advantages: quality, the number of managerial staff that must be kept on the site to obtain the required quality, and construction time."

"In my opinion, these factors are making projects more economically worthwhile than in the past."

Co-CEO Zeev Salant added, "As soon as we switched to foreign manpower, safety improved immeasurably, because they are more disciplined. With foreign workers, it's easier to keep safety under control."
‘Just like before Oct. 7’: Gaza border surveillance troops say they’re seeing terror activity
Surveillance soldiers on the Gaza border were reportedly sounding the alarm on Thursday about armed terrorist activity inside the Gaza Strip, in what they said feels like a repeat of their unheeded warnings before the October 7, 2023, onslaught.

Leading up to that Hamas-led invasion and massacre, the surveillance soldiers sent alerts about terrorists training for the attack, and were infamously ignored. Some of the surveillance soldiers, who are women, said sexism was a factor in their warnings being brushed aside.

Five female surveillance soldiers (tatzpitaniyot) from IDF Unit 414 were killed, and seven were taken captive when the Nahal Oz military base near the Gaza border was overrun. Noa Marciano was killed in captivity. Ori Megidish was rescued alive. The other five were eventually released during subsequent ceasefires.

On Thursday, Channel 12 quoted a number of unnamed soldiers who described a feeling of deja vu. They reported watching armed terrorists operate and lay explosives along the Gaza Yellow Line that divides the territory between Israeli and Hamas control.

“We’re really seeing that they know we won’t fire on them. The Gazans aren’t idiots. In the end, they’re constantly testing us and seeing if we react or not. It’s just like before October 7,” one of the soldiers was quoted as having said.

Another soldier told the network she feels “helpless” in the face of the terrorist activity she sees over the border. A different soldier said she and her comrades “feel a little unnecessary. If I know that, in any case, they won’t do anything with my identification [of terror activity], what’s the point of sitting eight hours a day and monitoring the area super-super-closely?”

A surveillance soldier quoted by the network went on to complain that combat soldiers stationed in Gaza are being used as “human shields.”

“In the end, the soldiers are stationed a few hundred meters from these terrorists,” one of the surveillance soldiers said of the combat troops in Gaza. “We can’t just abandon them.”

Amid efforts to advance a US-backed plan to disarm Hamas in the Strip, Israel quietly halted airstrikes in Gaza for a week before resuming them on Wednesday.

The strikes then multiplied on Thursday, with Israel said to have killed a Hamas company commander in a strike on southern Gaza’s Khan Younis and a senior Hamas police officer in a Gaza City strike.
IDF kills Hamas October 7 terrorist in Gaza City strike
The IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) killed Hamas commander Jamal Mahmoud Abu Kamil in a targeted strike in Gaza City on Thursday, according to a statement from the military.

Abu Kamil was among the terrorists who invaded Israeli territory on October 7, 2023, and he continued to work toward the goal of harming Israeli soldiers and civilians over the past three years, the IDF said.

IAF strikes terror cell in Khan Yunis, continues countering threats despite July deal
The air force on Thursday attacked a Gazan terror cell in Khan Yunis, the second "attack of choice" in two days after a pause in such attacks since a new US-Hamas deal in late July.

IDF sources told The Jerusalem Post that the cell was not extremely senior, but was in the process of planning and shortly carrying out an operation against the IDF.

According to those sources, since the US-Hamas deal, the IDF has halted attacks on Hamas members who were involved in the October 7 invasion and on other strategic Hamas assets or leaders, but it is still carrying out attacks against operatives who it knows are moving toward an attack.


Cambridge investigates claims Iran dissidents were misquoted in doctorate that ‘whitewashes’ the regime
Cambridge University is investigating claims that an academic who has defended the Islamic Republic misrepresented interviews with Iranian dissidents in a doctorate that “whitewashed” the regime.

After being awarded the PhD, Shirin Saeidi went on to become professor at the University of Arkansas, only to be sacked over anti-Israel social media posts.

Now, the foundations of her academic career are being questioned.

Iranian dissidents who were imprisoned by the regime claim they were falsely quoted in her 2011 PhD thesis at Fitzwilliam College, Hero of her own story: Gender and State Formation in Contemporary Iran, and her 2022 book based on the same research.

Several of the women who Saeidi claimed to have interviewed have come forward to allege that they had never met her.

They claim the work – which describes how middle-class women “constructed their sense of belonging in the post-revolutionary state” – effectively “whitewashes” the regime.

The university is already facing intense scrutiny over former professor Jason Arday, who resigned following discrepancies on his CV.
Iran blackmails expats in UK to go to pro-Palestine protests
Iranians living in the UK have been blackmailed into attending anti-Israel protests by regime agents threatening to harm their relatives back home, the JC can reveal.

Dissidents in Britain have told this newspaper they have received calls from Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) agents demanding they attend protests.

Expats’ relatives being held by the regime have been forced to speak to them on the phone to ensure they comply.

Some of the expats had been selected for blackmail after being spotted at opposition demonstrations against the regime in London.

In a number of cases the officers from the IRGC Intelligence Organisation and Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence have ordered the dissidents to provide proof of their attendance at the anti-Israel protests by posting photos on social media.

Politicians across the political spectrum have raised concerned over the “disturbing evidence of transnational repression by Iran”.

The revelations come after the recent proscription of the IRGC by the British government and amid calls for further action to stop Islamic Republic activities in the UK.

The JC has spoken to four British-Iranian nationals who have received the blackmail calls from regime agents.

One who asked to be identified only as Sam over fears for his family’s safety, said his sister was arrested for participating in anti-regime protests in Iran in January.

She was questioned about Sam’s political activities in the UK.

Sam said: “They showed her photographs from Instagram of me protesting against the regime in London.

“They accused her of spying for Israel.”

Sam, who lives in London, received an unexpected WhatsApp call from an Iranian number in June.

He said; “My sister was on the line. I was shocked because I knew she was still in jail.

“She begged me to speak to someone who she said was trying to help her situation.”

Sam said a man then took over the call and began questioning him about his political activities in Britain. “He spoke in a very calm tone and asked me whether I wanted to help my sister,” Sam said.

“He said that if I did, I needed to prove that I did not support a war against the regime. He told me I needed to participate in anti-war, anti-Netanyahu and ‘pro-resistance’ protests in London.

“He was very specific about which protests I should attend. He named a couple of London-based pro-Palestinian organisations.”


Open Source Intel: POV: You're A Mossad Agent Inside Iran
This is the story of the man who killed Iran's top nuclear scientist from 1,500 kilometers away. Mossad's most advanced assassination, told from the inside.

On November 27, 2020, at 03:26 AM, fifteen bullets fired through a windshield on the road to Absard eliminated Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, the physicist who ran Iran's nuclear weapons program for twenty years. The weapon was a one-ton remote-operated machine gun with AI-assisted facial recognition, smuggled into Iran in pieces over eight months. The operator sat in an operations room in Israel. He has never been to Iran. Nobody from Mossad was in the kill zone.

This intelligence docuseries episode puts you inside the five years of espionage that ended in those sixty seconds. You are the Mossad case officer. Recruited out of Unit 8200, Israeli intelligence's elite signals unit. Training at the Midrasha, Mossad's academy. A safehouse day in Tehran, running an asset inside the IRGC. The 2018 nuclear archive heist, where more than twenty operatives cracked six safes in a Tehran warehouse and walked out with 55,000 pages and 183 CDs on Project Amad, Iran's secret nuclear weapons program. And the intelligence file that found the one road where Fakhrizadeh was vulnerable.

The case officer ("you") and the ground team lead ("Nadav") are composites built from open-source reporting on modern Mossad operations. Every operation, date, weapon system, casualty figure, and named quote is documented.
