Yesterday, after a period of relative calm in Gaza, a Hamas cell attacked a vehicle belonging to Battalion 414, seriously wounding a female officer and two female soldiers. After the attack, the cell opened fire on an IDF force that arrived at the scene, and in this attack an IDF scout was killed.

Hamas's loss of military and economic ties to Iran, or at least its weakening, was probably one of the reasons the Islamist Nazi organization was in decline. Yesterday, it seemed that the organization was working towards a renewed revival. This revival occurs a day after a Hamas delegation led by the head of Hamas' Shura Council, Darwish, met with the head of Turkish intelligence. We have previously learned that the technique of meeting with an underground military organization in Turkey goes through the head of Turkish intelligence, and not through military officers. The same goes for the supply of weapons. We do not know whether Turkey replaced Iran in providing military and economic aid to Hamas, but the structure of the meeting, the things said at it according to the Anadolu News Agency, and the Turkish need and desire that was expressed in countless statements by Erdogan, including one that we quoted here a month ago ("We see and know what is happening in Palestine"), and which included a threatening tone towards Israel, necessitate examining this issue in depth, and so we are doing today. In today's main story, we also report on the resurgence of Hezbollah's threats towards Israel. We do not know if Hezbollah's resurgence is related to the resurgence of Hamas, and to the attack carried out yesterday by the Islamist Nazi organization in Gaza. We reported extensively here on the command room between the organizations that was established in May 2023; we also reported on Erdogan's intentions to tighten his ties in Lebanon. Our attempt to identify new military ties between Turkey and organizations and countries that surround Israel will deepen further, see today's main story.
