Reposted *Israel’s Channel 12 Report:* “On the night of October 6th, a malfunction occurred in the technological system of Unit 8200, which is supposed to provide effective information indicating Hamas's intentions. The malfunction was fixed early in the morning, but by then, Hamas terrorists were already advancing towards Israel. A senior officer in Military Intelligence said, "This could have prevented the security breach." *Details:* - October 6th, 11:00 PM: Seven and a half hours before the attack, a malfunction occurs in Unit 8200's system, which is supposed to deliver crucial information about Hamas. The system shuts down, and no data can be retrieved. Such malfunctions happen occasionally, but this was an unusual time, and everyone was eager for the critical information expected from Unit 8200’s system. - Response: Soldiers specializing in fixing such malfunctions were called in from home. A senior officer in Military Intelligence claimed they were summoned immediately, but another intelligence source stated they arrived only after 3:00 AM. They managed to restore the system by 5:00 AM, just an hour and a half before the attack began. By the time the system could retrieve real-time data and restore previous information, the attack had already started. - Internal Investigations: In internal investigations conducted after the incursion, the commander of Unit 8200 reported that the malfunction was communicated to the head of Military Intelligence, Aharon Haliva, the Chief of Staff, Herzi Halevi, and the head of Shin Bet, Ronen Bar. However, a senior intelligence officer claimed he was not informed that the system was down. - Former Intelligence Senior Source: A former senior intelligence source told us, "If the system had been working during those hours, it is highly likely that significant information would have emerged, altering the intelligence picture. There were Israeli signals in Gaza and indicative signs, but there was no supporting intelligence." - Intelligence Assumption: "If this system was operational and no information was coming from it, it would weaken the assumption of an invasion plan. However, since the system was down, the intelligence assumption should have been more severe." - Critical Questions: Did the Chief of Staff and the head of Shin Bet realize during the night that such a critical intelligence tool was not operational? Did they factor this into their decision-making? IDF Spokesperson's Response: _"The IDF is currently in the midst of investigating the events of October 7th and the preceding period. The claims made in the report are being examined as part of these investigations. Upon completion, the findings will be presented to the public transparently."

Andrew Fox: “The situation in northern Israel is getting surprisingly little attention in the West. Here’s some background and an explanation of just how dire it is. World War Three gets closer by the day, and I’m not exaggerating. UNSC resolution 1701 (2006) is that Hezbollah agree to stay north of the river Litani in Lebanon. This puts Israeli settlements out of anti-tank rocket range. However, Hezbollah have broken this and since 7th October have fired thousands of rockets into Israel, displacing some 60,000 Israelis from their homes. To be clear, Hezbollah is a direct Iranian proxy, who live like a virus inside the almost-dead body of the Lebanese state. Their fighters are far superior to Hamas, having gained serious experience in the Syrian civil war. They have no real ground manoeuvre or air power, but their tunnels in the chalk rock of southern Lebanon are better than Hamas’ and they have an estimated 150,000 rockets. There are UN Peacekeepers in Lebanon, but (shockingly for the UN, I know) they’re as much use as a bacon sandwich at a Bar Mitzvah. One very senior Israeli source described them to me as “an umbrella that folds when it rains”. So Israel has a real, very serious problem. They do not have the manpower to assault into Lebanon for any kind of sustained campaign, especially whilst Gaza is ongoing. So, in polite terms, they are kicking the shit out of it from the air (over which they have total superiority) and relying on missile defences. Thousands of targets have been struck in the last 9 months but Hezbollah retain very significant missile capability. This is why Israel are beholden to the USA to offer obscenely generous ceasefire terms to Hamas (that Hamas appear to be declining). They cannot afford to lose American military aid with this threat on their northern border. In the videos below, in the first vid you see the war zone northern Israel has become. The second one is the settlement of Katzrin in the Golan Heights. Surrounded on all sides by fires. In a statement to Qatari-funded Muslim Brotherhood mouthpiece Al Jazeera, yesterday Hezbollah said, “We simultaneously attacked 15 bases in the Golan and the Galilee using 150 rockets and 30 drones. This is the most extensive attack carried out by the organization since October 8, this attack came in response to the assassination in Joya and in order to deter Israel from carrying out further assassinations of this type.” On top of that, Iranian proxies in Iraq took responsibility last night for the joint operation they carried out together with the Houthis (Iranian proxies in Yemen), which launched these ballistic missiles and UAVs towards the Israeli cities of Ashdod and Haifa (third video). Iran is besieging Israel on all sides, and Israel is bending, not breaking. This situation is genuinely dire. It explains why Hamas will not sign a ceasefire deal, and why other non-Iran aligned Gulf states are meeting with IDF commanders. The entire region is teetering on the edge of a much more widespread conflict with Iran, and Israel is taking the brunt of it. If this situation deteriorates, our allies in the Gulf may call for aid. As a second front in the war against the Iran-Russia-China-Qatar axis of malign global actors, this could not be more serious or worrying. And all the while we see subversive Iranian proxy organisations organising protests about Gaza on Western streets. Hopefully the West is not defeated domestically before the war even starts in earnest.” https://x.com/Mr_Andrew_Fox/status/1801323700295209255 Ilana Rachel Daniel The Common Denominator Substack: bit.ly/44Yznlk Youtube: bit.ly/3WOLwqT Apple: apple.co/3VbEVp3.

Watch every single second of this video. It presents us with only two choices, and two choices alone: 1. We act to stop this. 2. We aid it and abet it.
