IDF eliminates head of Islamic Jihad's Rocket and Missile Unit in the Rafah Area who fired rockets from inside the Humanitarian Area at Israeli civilians. On Monday the Israeli Air Force conducted an intelligence-based strike on the terrorist Ahmed Aish Salame al-Hashash, who served as the Head of the Islamic Jihad's Rocket and Missile Unit in the Rafah area. Al-Hashash was responsible for the Islamic Jihad’s rocket attacks in the Rafah Brigade and was an important source of knowledge of rocket fire within the Islamic Jihad terror organization in Gaza. During the war, al-Hashash was responsible for firing rockets from inside the Humanitarian Area toward Israeli civilians, according to the IDF. At the time of the strike, Salame al-Hashash was embedded and operating inside the Humanitarian Area in Khan Yunis. Prior to the strike, numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence.

Investigation: 'How Wikipedia Became a Propaganda Site.
For a long time, I thought of Wikipedia as a miracle of the internet age: a free, crowd-sourced encyclopedia that I could access any time, anywhere. Was it perfect? No. Would I quote it? No. But it seemed reasonably objective and fair-minded—its hive mind far less biased than so many sources of online information.
But the Wikipedia dream seems to have soured. What was once a democratic effort—powered by hundreds of thousands of volunteer editors—to describe the world as accurately as possible has curdled into something else. Not a collective attempt to see the world as it is, but a place where busybodies with too much time on their hands force their worldview on the rest of us.
And signs of the rot are everywhere.
Take recent changes to Wikipedia’s “Zionism” page. In 2023, it began as follows: “Zionism is a nationalist movement that emerged in the 19th century to espouse support for the establishment of a homeland for the Jewish people in Palestine, a region roughly corresponding to the Land of Israel in Jewish tradition.” But, around 2 p.m. yesterday, the first sentence of the same page was changed to this: “Zionism is an ethno-cultural nationalist movement that emerged in Europe in the late 19th century and aimed for the establishment of a Jewish state through the colonization of land outside Europe.” The idea of Zionism as ethno-nationalist colonization isn’t exactly an impartial read on the situation. In fact, it sounds like something you’d hear at an anti-Israel protest.
Or take this recent investigation by the Substacker Tracing Woodgrains into one Wikipedia admin called David Gerard. It shows just how much influence the biases and grudges of one man can have over the sources Wikipedia deems reliable and unreliable. Deep in the weeds of Wikipedia, Gerard discredits publications that offend his worldview—designating them “unreliable” so they can’t be used for citations. (The Free Press is one of several publications Gerard objects to.) As Tracing Woodgrains puts it: “Those who master the bureaucracy in behind-the-scenes janitorial battles. . . define the public’s first impressions of whatever they care about.”
What happened to Wikipedia? That’s the question reporter Ashley Rindsberg set about answering. In a piece originally published by Pirate Wires, and republished by The Free Press today, he looks at the handful of Wikipedia editors reshaping history before our eyes.'

Hezbollah commander, Ibrahim Aqil, the Hezbollah operations commander was eliminated in an Israeli strike. He had a $7 million bounty on his head for two 1983 Beirut truck bombings that killed more than 300 people at the American embassy and a U.S. Marines barracks. Aqil, with the top leadership of the terror group’s operations array and elite Radwan Force, gathered underground, below a residential building, when they were targeted.
“They gathered underground, under a residential building, in the heart of the Dahiyeh, while using civilians as a human shield. They met to coordinate terror activities against Israeli civilians."

Netanyahu at UN: I have a message to the world - we are winning.
The Prime Minister spoke at the General Assembly of the UN, against the backdrop of escalating conflict with Hezbollah and nearly a year of fighting in the Gaza Strip.
After nearly a year since the outbreak of the war, and in the height of the conflict with Hezbollah, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke today (Friday) at the UN General Assembly. In his speech, he addressed the continuation of the fighting in Lebanon and the Iranian threat.
"On October 7th, terrorists invaded Israel and inflicted the worst atrocities imaginable. We will not rest until the remaining hostages are brought home," he declared.
"I have with me family members of the hostages. I promise all families, we will return your loved ones home. We will not stop until this is accomplished."
"We are facing the curse of Iran or the blessing of Jew and Arab," Netanyahu stated, while displaying maps of two possible futures in the Middle East - one showing normalization with Arab countries, the other showing continued war against Iran and its allies. "Israel seeks peace, Israel makes peace, and Israel will make peace again."
"Iran funds terror networks on five continents. For too long, the world has appeased Iran. That appeasement must end now."
"I call on the Security Council to stop support for Iran, we must ensure that Iran never gets nuclear weapons. Iran's militia have targeted us as well. Residents of Judea and Samaria have also attacked Israel."
My message to Tehran: "If you strike us, we will strike you. We will reach everywhere in the Middle East."
United States President Joe Biden addressed the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, which was opened in New York for the 79th time, discussing his vision for the future of the United States and the conflict in Israel.
"The nations of the world must not ignore the horrors that were committed on October 7," he said.
"Hamas terrorists invaded Israel and slaughtered 1,200 people, including people who were dancing at a party, and committed acts of rape and sexual violence. I met with families of the hostages who are enduring unimaginable suffering."
"Terrorists steal food that we allow into Gaza, then they hype the prices, and that's how they stay in power. Hamas has got to go."
"This war can come to an end now - Hamas has to surrender, lay down its arms and release all the hostages!"
"On the day after the massacre, Hezbollah attacked Israel causing thousands of Israelis to be displaced. This has been going on for almost a year. The US would not accept this for even a day."
"Hezbollah has fired rockets and missiles from private homes, schools and hospitals. Israel has no choice and Israel has every right to stop this. And that is exactly what we are going to do."
"Peace with Saudi Arabia would enable partnerships in many, many fields, a true pivot of history, historical reconciliation between Mecca and Jerusalem."
"One of the best ways to foil Iran's plans is to achieve this peace - also with the US and others who choose peace."
"I believe this can materialize and much sooner than we believe. This is an opportunity that we and the world cannot let go by."
"What choice would the world make - stand with a democracy and peace or a country that supports terror?"
"Even in this hall - evil is portrayed as good and good is portrayed as evil. This is an absurdity - that all that we do - bringing food into Gaza - and we are portrayed as evil. No army has done what Israel has done to protect civilians."
"I spoke from this podium, as Ambassador to the UN, in 1984 - 40 years ago. Then I spoke against a proposal to expel Israel from the UN. Now I am talking against the same proposal - not by Hamas, but by Mahmoud Abbas, who is supposed to be our peace partner."
"During that speech, I told everyone - check your fanaticism at the door. And today I say the same. For the Palestinians this home of darkness is their home court."
"The ICC does not consider Israel the democracy that it is. The real criminals are in Gaza, Iran, Yemen."
"Those who stand with the side of evil, should be ashamed of yourselves. Israel will win this battle - because we don't have a choice. After generations where we were slaughtered and nobody stood up for us - we are now defending ourselves."
"The torch of Israel will shine forever. Am Yisrael Chai."

Overview - Hassan Nasrallah: Terror chief made Hezbollah a regional force, ignored Israeli warnings. Lebanese cleric, 64, was threatening public face of anti-Israel Hezbollah terror group founded by Iran. Was killed by IDF after intensifying rocket attacks on north since Oct. 8
Nasrallah became secretary general of Hezbollah in 1992 at just 35, the public face of a once shadowy group founded by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in 1982 to fight Israel. It was the first group that Iran backed and used as a way to export its brand of political Islam.
Despite the power he wielded, Nasrallah lived largely in hiding for fear of an Israeli assassination. Israel killed his predecessor, Sayyed Abbas al-Musawi, in a helicopter attack. Nasrallah led Hezbollah when the IDF withdrew its forces from southern Lebanon in 2000, after 18 years.
Nasrallah grew up in Beirut’s impoverished Karantina district. His family hails from Bazouriyeh, a village in Lebanon’s predominantly Shiite south which today forms Hezbollah’s political heartland.
He is part of a generation of young Lebanese Shiites whose political outlook was shaped by Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Before leading the group, he used to spend nights with frontline guerrillas fighting Israel in the so-called security stone that the IDF had set up inside southern Lebanon to distance terror groups from the border. His 18-year-old son, Hadi, a Hezbollah fighter, was killed with three other gunmen in an Israeli ambush in 1997, a loss that gave him legitimacy among his core Shiite constituency in Lebanon.
Among supporters, Nasrallah was lauded for standing up to Israel and defying the United States. To enemies, he was head of a terrorist organization seeking to destroy the Jewish state and a proxy for Iran’s rapacious Shiite Islamist theocracy in its tussle for influence in the Middle East.
His regional influence has been on display over nearly a year of conflict ignited by the Gaza war, as Hezbollah entered the fray by firing on Israel from southern Lebanon in support of its Palestinian ally Hamas, and Yemeni and Iraqi groups followed suit, operating under the umbrella of “The Axis of Resistance.”
Hezbollah began firing rockets at Israel on October 8, the day after the Hamas massacre in southern Israel that killed 1,200 people and took 251 hostages.
“We are facing a great battle,” Nasrallah said in an August 1 speech at the funeral of Hezbollah’s top military commander, Fuad Shukr, who was killed in an Israeli strike on the Hezbollah-controlled southern suburbs of Beirut.
Yet when thousands of Hezbollah members were injured and dozens killed, when their communications devices exploded in an apparent Israeli attack last week, that battle began to turn against his group. Israel has not commented on the attack, even though it was widely blamed for it.
Responding to the attacks on Hezbollah’s communications network in a September 19 speech, Nasrallah vowed to punish Israel.
“This is a reckoning that will come, its nature, its size, how and where? This is certainly what we will keep to ourselves and in the narrowest circle even within ourselves,” he said. He did not have a broadcast address since then.
Conflict with Israel has largely defined his leadership. He declared “Divine Victory” in 2006 after Hezbollah waged 34 days of war with Israel, winning the respect of many ordinary Arabs who had grown up watching Israel defeat their armies.
But he became an increasingly divisive figure in Lebanon and the wider Arab world as Hezbollah’s area of operations widened to Syria and beyond, reflecting an intensifying conflict between Shiite Iran and US-allied Sunni Arab monarchies in the Gulf.
While Nasrallah painted Hezbollah’s engagement in Syria — where it fought in support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad during the civil war — as a campaign against jihadists, critics accused the group of becoming part of a regional sectarian conflict.
At home, Nasrallah’s critics said Hezbollah’s regional adventurism imposed an unbearable price on Lebanon, leading once-friendly Gulf Arabs to shun the country — a factor that contributed to its 2019 financial collapse.
In the years following the 2006 war, Nasrallah walked a tightrope over a new conflict with Israel, stockpiling tens of thousands of Iranian rockets and missiles to form a deterrent “balance of terror” in a carefully measured contest of threat and counter-threat.
The Gaza war, ignited by the October 7 Hamas invasion and slaughter in southern Israel, prompted Hezbollah’s worst conflict with Israel since 2006, after the terrorist organization began raining down barrages of projectiles and drones on northern Israel. Some 60,000 Israelis have been forced from their homes, and Israel stepped up its attacks on Hezbollah in a declared effort to enable their return. The IDF’s retaliation to the Hezbollah strikes has cost the terror group hundreds of its fighters, including many of its top commanders.
After years of entanglements elsewhere, the conflict put renewed focus on Hezbollah’s historic struggle with Israel.
“We are here paying the price for our front of support for Gaza, and for the Palestinian people, and our adoption of the Palestinian cause,” Nasrallah said in the August 1 speech.
Nasrallah had a track record of threatening powerful enemies.
As regional tensions escalated after the eruption of the Gaza war, Nasrallah issued a thinly veiled warning to US warships in the Mediterranean, telling them: “We have prepared for the fleets with which you threaten us.”
In 2020, Nasrallah vowed that US soldiers would leave the region in coffins after Iranian general Qassem Soleimani — head of the Quds Force of the IRGC, a US-designated terror group — was killed in a US drone strike in Iraq.
He expressed fierce opposition to Saudi Arabia over its armed intervention in Yemen, where, with US and other allied support, Riyadh sought to roll back the Iran-aligned Houthis.
As regional tensions rose in 2019 following an attack on Saudi oil facilities, he said Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates should halt the Yemen war to protect themselves.
“Don’t bet on a war against Iran because they will destroy you,” he said in a message directed at Riyadh.
On Nasrallah’s watch, Hezbollah also clashed with adversaries at home in Lebanon.
In 2008, he accused the Lebanese government — backed at the time by the West and Saudi Arabia — of declaring war by moving to ban his group’s internal communication network. Nasrallah vowed to “cut off the hand” that tried to dismantle it.
It prompted four days of civil war pitting Hezbollah against Sunni and Druze fighters, and the Shiite group to take over half the capital Beirut.
He strongly denied any Hezbollah involvement in the 2005 assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafik al-Hariri, after a UN-backed tribunal indicted four members of the group.
Nasrallah rejected the tribunal — which in 2020 eventually convicted three of them in absentia over the assassination — as a tool in the hands of Hezbollah’s enemies.
Israel in recent days and weeks had vowed to gradually escalate its attacks on Hezbollah unless it halted its rocket fire and entered a diplomatic process for withdrawing its forces deeper into Lebanon. Nasrallah ignored the threat and the escalating attacks.
On Friday, in a speech to the UN General Assembly, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel “must defeat” Hezbollah.
“It has tentacles that span all continents. It has murdered more Americans and more Frenchmen than any group except Bin Laden,” he said. “And it has attacked Israel viciously over the last 20 years.”
“In the last year, completely unprovoked,” he went on, Hezbollah’s attacks “turned vibrant towns in the north of Israel into ghost towns… Israel has been tolerating this intolerable situation for nearly a year. Well, I’ve come here today to say enough is enough.”
Shortly before delivering the speech, Netanyahu had approved the deadly strike on Nasrallah.
US' Biden and Harris call the Israeli strike killing Hezbollah’s Nasrallah a ‘measure of justice’. “Nasrallah, the next day, made the fateful decision to join hands with Hamas and open what he called a ‘northern front’ against Israel,” Biden said in a statement.
He also noted that Hezbollah under Nasrallah’s watch has been responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans, Israelis and Lebanese.
Lebanese Shiite scholar and former acquaintance wrote, "We began our journey together," but Nasrallah chose Iran over the Arabs. "You, however, post-liberation, fell into Iran's embrace...I forewarned you of the impending destruction that would befall you and the Lebanese people."

IDF follow-up strikes on the Beirut suburb of Dahiya have eliminated a Hezbollah missile unit commander and his deputy and may have eliminated an IRGC commander, in striking several targets across the country only hours after a strike on Beirut, which targeted and killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
The commander of Hezbollah's missile unit, Muhammad Ali Ismail, and his deputy, Hossein Ahmed Ismail, had also been killed in southern Lebanon. Ali Ismail was responsible for many attacks against Israel, including the launch of missiles toward the center of the country on September 25.
IDF strikes also targeted Hezbollah weapons depots and manufacturing sites in Beirut. It strikes Hezbollah missiles threatening navy, Haifa port. The military had forewarned residents of these districts that they would need to evacuate immediately, only a few hours prior.
IRGC commander eliminated, Abbas Nilforoushan may have been eliminated in the IDF strike on the Beirut suburb Dahiya, according to Iranian media. Nilforoushan was a key player in Iranian actions in the region, advising Hezbollah on military and diplomatic affairs, believed to have played a major role in crushing protests against the Iranian regime and fought with the Assad regime during the Syrian Civil War.

'New Order': IDF announces name of Friday Beirut strike eliminating Hezbollah leader Nasrallah.
Some preliminary insights into the "New Order" in the Middle East:
Within two weeks, Israel managed to break into pieces the most significant Iranian arm , in a series of moves that the word "genius" is a few measures short of.
-Nasrallah and the top left of the organization would not come together to the headquarters for the meeting . This was made possible by a deception exercise from the most sophisticated in the history of talks about a ceasefire and Netanyahu's trip, who gave a rather banal speech at the UN. They thought that against the background of global pressures to stop the war, and to take the foot off the gas that was manifested in Netanyahu's trip, it would be possible to come to the headquarters and enjoy the speech. They were a little wrong.
-It was impossible to go out to eliminate Nasrallah when his entire system was in place, because we would have taken unimaginable amounts of missiles on our heads and paid huge prices. We had to first deal a fatal blow to their precise and long-range launch capabilities.
-It was impossible to break these capabilities as long as Radwan's force sat on the border and was able to invade the Galilee. It was necessary to hurt him significantly. Indeed, most of his commanders were eliminated with Ibrahim Akil in Beirut.
-It was impossible to carry out this elimination as long as Hezbollah was an organized and hierarchical organization with enormous capabilities. The top command of the organization had to be hit and this was done by the unbelievable operation of the pagers and walkie-talkies. The loss of trust in electronic means of communication meant that they had to gather together, and there they were eliminated together, again and again.
All of this could not have been accomplished without intelligence at an unprecedented level, through which Israel simply knows everything and only chooses the timing of each action.
All this could not have been accomplished without the imaginative capabilities of the Air Force.
It was impossible to do this if they did not prepare enough armaments for Lebanon in advance, and probably for Iran as well, and not be dependent on American pressure. In Gaza they underestimated Hamas and did not prepare anything, and there a dependency was created. In Lebanon it is a completely different story.
And this is the place to compliment the Aman, the Mossad, the IDF, all the commanders, the government and the prime minister. Yes, yes, all those reviled, quite rightly, should now receive applause when it comes, and the day is very, very coming.
