🕵️ An Israeli ambulance driver has been charged with conducting intelligence missions for Iran.
Amir Hisham Muhammad Titi, 34, from Bi’ina in the Galilee, allegedly received tens of thousands of shekels while exploiting his unrestricted hospital access to document preparedness during routine operations and emergencies.
According to the Israel Security Agency and Israel Police, he also photographed President Isaac Herzog during a visit to the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya.
Additional assignments allegedly included documenting Hostages Square while holding photographs of hostages, a demonstration at Haifa’s Horev Center and the community of Amikam, where former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant resides.
Payments were reportedly transferred through relatives’ bank accounts and a digital wallet. Authorities said the Iranian recruiter used the alias “Itamar Ben Gvir” and posed as someone assisting Israelis with firearm license applications.
🛡️ The IDF has destroyed most of a major Hezbollah tunnel network beneath the Beaufort Ridge.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz said approximately 700 tons of explosives were used during a limited operation inside the Security Zone in southern Lebanon.
The demolition had previously been postponed because of the ceasefire but was conducted following Hezbollah’s explosive-drone attack on an unmanned IDF bulldozer.
The multilevel network was constructed over approximately two decades and served as a strategic stronghold and command center for Hezbollah’s Bader Unit. The Iranian-funded infrastructure was used to manage combat and direct fire against IDF forces and Israeli civilians.
Located approximately six kilometers from Metula and the Galilee Panhandle, the system supported launches of UAVs, explosive devices and anti-tank missiles during the war.
The IDF had already destroyed another section on July 13. Following the latest demolition, most of the underground system beneath the ridge has been eliminated.
Residents in several northern areas were warned in advance of the explosions. Metula and Misgav Am residents were instructed to open windows to reduce the danger of shattered glass, although authorities said there was no change in the broader security assessment.
🧭 IDF activity continues around additional Hezbollah infrastructure.
Troops remain deployed in the Beaufort Ridge and Ali Taher Ridge areas and are maintaining readiness for defensive and offensive scenarios.
The military is monitoring another major tunnel system beneath the Ali Taher Ridge, where dozens of Hezbollah operatives are believed to remain underground.
Israel has not finalized the full scope of its response to the drone attack. One additional option under consideration is the destruction of tunnels in the Balat Taher area.
