OVER NIS 1 BILLION FOR NEW ROADS IN JUDEA AND SAMARIA (Video: street view Samaria near Shechem) At its final cabinet meeting before becoming a caretaker government, Israel is expected to approve more than NIS 1 billion for roads, access routes and security infrastructure serving dozens of new communities in Judea and Samaria. The plan was developed by the Defense Ministry’s Settlement Directorate together with the Transportation and Finance ministries. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called it part of a “settlement-security revolution” designed to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state in Israel’s heartland. Separately, residents of 64 communities will receive a 7% tax benefit beginning next month, retroactive to January.

🚨🇮🇱🇮🇷 IDF SPOKESPERSON: ISRAEL FACES AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT... AND WE’RE TAKING IT OUT Brigadier General, Effie Defrin: "This is the 17th day of Operation 'Rising Lion'. Our objective is clear: to eliminate the existential threat to the State of Israel by degrading the nuclear program and significantly degrading the missile array. We struck the nuclear reactor in the Arak region, a facility that is not currently operational but holds the potential to produce enriched plutonium. Our strikes are directed at every part of the Iranian military establishment, all of which threaten the State of Israel. We are continuing to dismantle the Iranian regime’s strategic capabilities and reduce the threat to Israeli civilians. The IDF is currently operating on 7 fronts, prepared both for defense and offense." Source: IDF

An excerpt from Defense Minister Yoav Gallant's speech today: "I turn to Israel’s enemies as well as to our best of friends and say - the State of Israel cannot be subdued, not the IDF, not the defense establishment, and not the State of Israel. We will stand strong, we will achieve our goals - we will hit Hamas, we will hit Hezbollah, and we will achieve security.” "Whatever the cost may be, we will ensure the existence of the State of Israel and remember the promise we made just a week ago during Holocaust Remembrance Day - ‘never again.’ For me, this is not just a saying, it is an instruction manual.”

❗️Ukraine is developing a "revolutionary" air defense system as an alternative to scarce and expensive Patriots Fire Pont, the manufacturer of the Flamingo cruise missile, is in negotiations with European companies to launch a new air defense system by next year, said the chief designer and co-founder of the company, Denys Shtilerman, in an interview with Reuters. According to him, it is an inexpensive alternative to the Patriot system, which will allow reducing the cost of intercepting a ballistic missile to below $1 million. The first test of the new system is planned for the end of 2027. Shtilerman also reported that Fire Point expects approval from the government for investments from a Middle Eastern conglomerate that values the company at $2.5 billion. This will open up new opportunities, including the launch of satellites into low Earth orbit.

In an unprecedented move: Defense Minister Israel Katz announced on live television his intention to fire chief of the IDF’s Central Command, Maj.-Gen. Avi Bluth, and appoint Maj.-Gen. Dado Bar Kalifa, the current head of the IDF Manpower Directorate, as his successor during an appearance on Channel 14. The announcement was highly unusual. Under standard practice, appointments of IDF major generals are made by the chief of staff, subject to the defense minister’s approval. According to Israeli media, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir was not informed of Katz’s announcement in advance. It remains unclear whether the appointment has been formally approved or what role, if any, current Central Command chief Bluth will assume.

The IDF has Launched a Preemptive Strike Against Iran's Nuclear Program, Israeli military spokesperson Effie Defrin: For years, the Iranian regime has been waging a direct and indirect campaign of terror against the State of Israel, by funding and directing terrorist activities via its proxies across the Middle East, while advancing toward obtaining a nuclear weapon. The Iranian regime is at the head of the axis responsible for all terrorist attacks against the State of Israel since the beginning of the "Swords of Iron" War, including by arming and funding the Hamas terror organization which was responsible for the October 7th Massacre. During the "Swords of Iron" War, Iran even directly attacked Israel twice, firing hundreds of missiles toward the State of Israel. The Iranian regime has proclaimed that its objective is to destroy the State of Israel. Senior officials in the Iranian regime have publicly declared their intent to destroy Israel, and are operating to achieve this together with their proxies in the Middle East. Today, Iran is closer than ever to obtaining a nuclear weapon. Weapons of mass destruction in the hands of the Iranian regime are an existential threat to the State of Israel and a significant threat to the wider world. The State of Israel will not allow a regime whose objective is to destroy the State of Israel to obtain weapons of mass destruction. The IDF has conducted a process of preparations for a campaign on the frontline and on the home front. The resilience of Israel's citizens will be an important factor of the campaign. The IDF is ready to continue to act as required. The State of Israel has the obligation to act in defense of its citizens and will continue to do so everywhere it is required to do so, as we have done in the past.

Yaakov Amidror says on a Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA) call. Netanyahu's meeting with Greece and Cyprus is about a "dreamed corridor coming from India through the Emirates to Jordan, Israel and then to the Mediterranean and Europe,"* the former IDF major general says. *(This is a reference to the India–Middle East–Europe Economic Corridor. They're also working on the Great Sea Interconnector to connect the power grids of Greece, Cyprus and Israel.)

▶️Video: Madam Maly Socheata, spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense of Cambodia, stated that Thailand violated the ceasefire agreement by sending armed forces and equipment into the An Se area and other areas, which are the sovereign territory of the Kingdom of Cambodia, at 11 am on August 4, 2025, and even laid barbed wire, despite being strictly prohibited by Cambodian forces. It is worth noting that Cambodia had just organized a visit by a foreign military attaché to Cambodia to the area on July 30, 2025, which clearly stated that it was Cambodian sovereign territory. This action by Thailand is a flagrant violation of the ceasefire and poses a serious threat to peace and security in the border areas of the two countries. #ThailandInvadedCambodia #ThailandStartedTheWar #ThailandCambodia

Maariv: The current situation on the Lebanese border is extremely problematic and Israel is biting its lips. Hezbollah is constantly sending forces from northern Lebanon to fight the IDF in the yellow area in the south of the country. Incidentally, Minister Katz boasted that the IDF destroyed the bridges over the Litani, thereby cutting off the south from the rest of Lebanon. The IDF says that the water level in the Litani River only reaches the knees, so it really doesn't matter much to them how they cross the river, over the bridge or under it. But oh well. Why spoil the victory narrative. Hezbollah is trying to turn the tables, to change the narrative. It is doing this with the help of the cheap, simple, and readily available weapons it has, but it is also working to intensify its activity with the help of the documentation of its attacks, which appears to be psychological warfare to sow fear on the Israeli side. By the way, this is not new, and it used to do so in the 1990s, when it carried out operations against IDF forces in the security zone. But Hezbollah understands something else in recent days. Unlike the 1990s, in recent days it is increasing pressure on the border line and on the conflict line communities. It is building the equations it loves so much: the residents of southern Lebanon are evacuated from their homes; the residents of the northern conflict line border will experience an intense routine of fighting with missile and drone attacks. Yesterday, a source on the front line spoke about the plight of the region's residents, a plight that illustrates how Israel has fallen into Hezbollah's trap. It has moved on to a long war of attrition, one whose sole purpose is to undermine and disrupt Israel's security routine on the northern border "We are in an impossible situation. They shoot at the settlements in the evening or at night and expect the residents in the morning to send their children to school or go to work".

And now, the eyes of the entire Middle East and the entire world are on the State of Israel. If our response resonates throughout the Middle East for generations to come - we will win. If we hesitate, God forbid, we will put ourselves and our children in immediate existential danger. Our destiny is in our hands. This is the time for leadership that is able to restore deterrence and has the courage to restore security to the citizens of Israel, Not in slogans, in deeds.

The military has wrapped up a snap drill on the Jordanian border, simulating sudden events to test its preparedness. The pre-planned drill, dubbed "Sulfur and Fire," began overnight and was completed a short while ago. It involved the 96th and 80th regional divisions, responsible for the border with Jordan, along with special forces. The military says that during the drill, several scenarios were practiced, including terrorist infiltration into communities, drone attacks, and "complex incidents" in the resort and industrial areas of the Dead Sea. The drill practiced calling up troops and deploying stand-by forces; coordination between the two divisions; and air-ground coordination, including fighter jets and helicopters carrying out dozens of strikes "within short time-frames," the IDF says. Special forces simulated "complex incidents" in civilian areas at the Dead Sea, including a scenario of a terrorist infiltration at a hotel, according to the military. The military says that standing army and reserve forces who were called up were deployed "within short timeframes," and the turnout of reservists in the 96th Division's volunteer brigades stood at 100%. An initial debrief of the drill found that new defense directives implemented as part of the lessons learned from the October 7, 2023, onslaught, along with recent reinforcements on the Jordanian border, "contributed to the successful handling of a sudden incident," the military says. The IDF says that it will also conduct an "in-depth review of the lessons from the exercise, identifying weaknesses and noteworthy points, to continue to improve the military's defense and preparedness for a variety of scenarios."
