🎯 IDF ENFORCES RAFAH CROSSING SECURITY OVERSIGHT, ELIMINATES TERROR OPERATIVES, AND CARRIES OUT DETERRENCE MEASURES



🛃 RAFAH CROSSING SECURITY OVERSIGHT: The IDF published footage of a new military checkpoint for Gazans entering the Gaza Strip from Egypt, as the Rafah Border Crossing is set to open for pedestrian traffic today. The checkpoint, dubbed “Regavim,” is located in IDF-held Rafah just outside the Rafah Crossing between Gaza and Egypt.

The IDF says security officers will verify identities against defense-approved lists and conduct thorough inspections of luggage before those returning to the Strip are permitted to continue toward Hamas-controlled areas. Israel will supervise the exit of Gazans to Egypt remotely from a control room using facial recognition to verify approved names and open a gate at the crossing, while Palestinian Authority representatives and European Union monitors stationed at Rafah will conduct security screenings for those leaving the Strip.

❌ TERROR OPERATIVE ELIMINATED IN SOUTHERN GAZA: The IDF says troops eliminated a Gazan terror operative who crossed the Yellow Line in the Strip’s south earlier yesterday. Several operatives crossed the line and approached troops of the 7th Armored Brigade “in a manner that posed an immediate threat.”

“Immediately after the identification, the troops fired toward the terrorists in order to remove the threat. One of the terrorists was eliminated,” the IDF says.

🎯 HEZBOLLAH ENGINEERING COMMANDER ELIMINATED IN SOUTHERN LEBANON: The IDF says it carried out an airstrike in the southern Lebanese town of Doueir that eliminated Ali Dawoud Amich, identified by the military as a division head in Hezbollah’s engineering department. 

The IDF says he was involved in efforts to rehabilitate Hezbollah terror infrastructure in the Doueir area and advance terror plans against IDF troops.

❌ HOME OF TERRORIST DEMOLISHED IN JUDEA AND SAMARIA: The IDF says troops operated overnight in the town of Halhul and demolished the home of Mahmoud Abed, one of two terrorist who carried out a deadly stabbing and shooting attack on July 10, 2025, at the Gush Etzion Junction. 

In the attack, Abed and Malik Salem fatally stabbed security guard Shalev Zvuluny, 22, outside a supermarket, seized his handgun, and exchanged fire with a soldier and an armed civilian before being eliminated.

The IDF says Salem’s home in the village of Bazariya was demolished in December, and that Israel demolishes the homes of Palestinians accused of carrying out deadly and severe terror attacks.

▪️ U.S. AMBASSADOR: ISRAEL’S ENEMIES ARE U.S. ENEMIES: US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee: "Every enemy that Israel has is an enemy of the US. We are quite aware of that. Who got the F-35s? Israel. Turkey will not get F-35 jets. Turkey, by law, would not be able to get them unless they made major changes in the hardware they have from Russia".

THE IRAN–U.S. CONFRONTATION WON’T START IN IRAN — AND ISRAEL MAY FACE STRONG INCENTIVES TO MOVE FIRST

  The coming confrontation between Iran and the United States is often framed as a binary moment: Washington acts or holds back; Tehran retaliates or absorbs the pressure. This framing is simple, accessible, and largely misleading. If escalation occurs, it is unlikely to unfold as a conventional state-to-state conflict, and it is unlikely to begin where many observers expect. Instead, escalation would most likely emerge as a system-level event—an activation of Iran’s regional proxy architecture—designed to distribute risk, externalize damage, and preserve regime survival. Within that system, Israel is not a peripheral actor but a forward pressure point where consequences are most likely to manifest first. As the region moved into late December and early January, intelligence indicators suggested that Israel was preparing for a significant military campaign in southern Lebanon, extending south of the Litani River and potentially beyond it. According to this assessment, the campaign ...

🚨 SHABBAT EMERGENCY ALERT GUIDANCE FOR LONG-RANGE MISSILE THREATS TO ISRAEL

🪖 IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said there are no changes to the Home Front Command’s instructions for the Israeli public, despite ongoing tensions with Iran. “Ahead of the Sabbath, I want to say to all citizens of Israel: the IDF is optimally prepared, both defensively and offensively. It is important to emphasize that there is no change to the Home Front Command’s instructions. We will ensure to update you if there is any change,” he said. 🛡️ Home Front Command status: Home Front Command instructions remain unchanged at this time as noted. In long-range missile scenarios originating from Yemen or Iran, missiles travel roughly 1,600–2,000 kilometers, and early alerts may be issued several minutes before impact, ahead of the standard red alert siren. ⏱️ Warning time differences: Unlike short-range rocket fire from Gaza or Lebanon, where red alerts typically provide about 15 seconds to 1.5 minutes to reach shelter, long-range missile threats involve earlier notific...

‼️ U.S. naval and air posture near Iran: The USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group has moved into the eastern Arabian Sea and is preparing to enter the Gulf of Oman, placing U.S. naval airpower within direct strike range of Iran.

The carrier is assessed to be operating roughly 600–1,600 miles from Tehran. The broader U.S. naval posture under U.S. Central Command and European Command includes Tomahawk-capable destroyers USS Mitscher, McFaul, Oscar Austin, Roosevelt, Bulkeley, and Paul Ignatius, and submarines USS South Dakota and USS Georgia, with combined Tomahawk capacity estimated at 358 missiles, rising to approximately 454 when including the Abraham Lincoln strike group.
