Crossing the Litani. 20 soldiers dead. 50+ wounded. The weapon costing Hezbollah under $100 is killing IDF soldiers every single day — and the Iron Dome's $50,000 interceptors weren't built to stop it.

IDF Major Res. Yochanan Ben Yaakov delivers a briefing on the drone threat reshaping Israel's northern front. From fiber-optic FPV drones evading detection to the IDF's buffer zone push across the Lebanese border — this is the battlefield reality no headlines are capturing.

$500 drones assembled like Lego can destroy a multi-million dollar tank. And within a year, these drones will choose their own targets — with no human involved.

Dr. Roey Tzezana, PhD in nanotechnology and futures researcher at Tel Aviv University, explains why the Iron Dome became Israel's "technological sedative" — and what's coming next. He explains how drone usage was able to get ahead of the IDF's readiness and he discusses the next generation of drone threats could be deployed on the battlefield in just a year's time. Roey talks about the integration of technology in national defense and the value of open source information sharing to better defense development.

In this briefing, Yifa Segal lays out Israel's most unorthodox war strategy yet — including tactics borrowed from the KGB playbook, a plan to break up the Palestinian Authority, and why Lebanon's internal fractures may be Israel's greatest weapon.

She argues that Israel is in a far stronger geopolitical position than before October 7 — but closing the multi-front war requires abandoning conventional thinking entirely. From "divide and conquer" in Gaza and Judea & Samaria to actively fueling Lebanon's internal conflict against Hezbollah, this is a doctrine designed to fundamentally restructure Israel's enemies from within.

Segal also addresses why traditional Hasbara has failed and proposes a radical shift: stop trying to make the world love Israel, and start making them understand what they should hate about the other side.

Trump says Gulf states asked him to hold off striking Iran — but OSINT data shows military assets moving into the region. Is that story a cover?

We break down Netanyahu's secret wartime visit to the UAE, Israel's exposed military base in Iraq, and what it all means for Trump's next move on Iran.

Atar Porat of the IDSF David Institute analyzes the most significant strategic shifts in the Middle East right now — including a stunning new poll showing a majority of Lebanese want a peace deal with Israel.

In this briefing:

— Why Trump's "Gulf states asked me to pause" may be a strategic ruse

— What Netanyahu and IDF Chief of Staff Zamir discussed in Abu Dhabi

— How Israel is becoming a "Mini US" — deploying troops abroad to protect allies

— Israel's base in Iraqi Kurdistan and the emerging Ring of Fire around Iran

— New Lebanon poll: Druze 84%, Maronites 77%, Sunnis 52% support peace with Israel

— Why "peace deal" and "normalization" mean very different things in Arab society

Will Israel Execute the Oct. 7 Terrorists? Here's What Just Happened

Israel just passed a new death penalty law — and Lt. Col. Maurice Hirsch explains exactly what it means, who it targets, and whether Israel has the resolve to carry it out.

Plus: the New York Times just published a story alleging prisoner abuse in Israeli jails. Hirsch calls it what it is — "evil blood libel propaganda" — and dismantles it source by source.

Two of the most explosive Israel stories of the week. One definitive briefing.

In this episode:

🔹 Why the NYT prison abuse article has zero credible evidence — and who wrote it

🔹 How the article was timed to create false moral equivalency with Hamas

🔹 Why the absence of a death penalty has historically fueled Palestinian terrorism

🔹 How October 7th destroyed the argument against capital punishment

🔹 What legal obstacles previously blocked execution — and how the new law removes them

🔹 Why critics calling it a "racist law" are actually admitting Palestinians will keep murdering Jews

🔹 Whether Israeli society has the stomach to execute hundreds of Oct. 7 terrorists

Lt. Col. Maurice Hirsch is a former Military Advocate General's Corps officer and leading legal authority on Palestinian incitement, terrorism law, and Israeli military justice.

Iran still controls 70% of its missiles. The nuclear clock is ticking. And the next wave of strikes may be closer than Washington is letting on.

On Jerusalem Day 2026, we take to the streets of Jerusalem to witness the celebrations — and then sit down with Danny Seaman for a powerful conversation about why this city sits at the very heart of Jewish history and Israel's national identity.

This year Jerusalem Day celebrates 59 years since the reunification of the Capital of Israel during the 1967 war.

Danny talks about how the historic and strategic value of Jerusalem to Israel and the Jewish people can never be taken for granted or forgotten. He shares his own personal story and how his family struggled to emigrate to Jerusalem. He addresses the present day challenges to Jerusalem in the context of the current war.
