Missile battery deployment deepens US role in conflict between Israel and Iran |
US troops have arrived in Israel as part of the deployment of a THAAD missile defense battery, the Pentagon said Tuesday, a move that will help protect Washington’s ally but deepens the United States’ involvement in the conflict. The deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system comes as Israel prepares to hit back against Iran for a major ballistic missile attack earlier this month, and the battery will boost Israeli defenses in case Tehran strikes back again. Over the past year, Israel has targeted leaders and senior officials from various terror groups backed by Iran — including Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and was accused of being behind the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in August, both of which were cited by Tehran as the justification for its October strikes. |

US gives Israel 30 days to address Gaza aid crisis, threatens to curb weapons supply |
The White House has warned Israel it has one month to implement significant improvements to the humanitarian situation in Gaza or jeopardize the continued supply of US weapons, noting that humanitarian assistance entering the Strip has plummeted in recent months. In a Sunday letter to Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, obtained by The Times of Israel on Tuesday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin lamented that the past several months have seen a significant deterioration in the amount of aid entering Gaza. The top US officials said such developments call into question Israel’s commitment to not restrict the entry of aid into Gaza and that it is using US weapons in line with international law. That written commitment was provided last March in order to ensure Israel’s compliance with a National Security Memorandum (NSM) issued by Biden in February. The memo applies to all recipients of US security assistance. The letter was sent just weeks before the November 5 US presidential election; but its November 13 deadline would ostensibly mitigate some of the political fallout, given that US President Joe Biden will be a lame duck when deciding whether Israel has taken the necessary steps to ensure compliance with the NSM. An Israeli official in Washington later told The Times of Israel that Jerusalem was reviewing the latter. “Israel takes this matter seriously and intends to address the concerns raised in this letter with our American counterparts,” the official said. |

IDF says troops nabbed 3 Hezbollah commandos hiding under building in south Lebanon |
The IDF said on Tuesday that it had nabbed three members of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan forces after discovering them in a shaft underneath a building in southern Lebanon, amid the ground offensive against the Lebanese terror group. In a statement, the Israel Defense Forces said that troops from the Golani Brigade’s 13th Battalion discovered the Radwan operatives “entrenched” in the shaft “alongside many weapons and equipment needed for a long stay.” The IDF did not say when the Hezbollah operatives were captured, and there was no immediate announcement from the Lebanese terror group on the matter. The military also published a video clip of an alleged Radwan operative being interrogated about the terror group’s plans in southern Lebanon and the current state of its operations. It was unclear whether the suspect in the video was one of the three that the IDF said it arrested. In the video, he painted a picture of chaos within Hezbollah at large and the Radwan forces in particular. |

Policeman killed, 4 injured in terror shooting on highway near Ashdod |
A policeman was killed and four people were wounded when a terrorist opened fire along the Route 4 highway north of the coastal city of Ashdod Tuesday. The victim was identified as First Sgt. Adir Kadosh, 33. He was critically wounded in the attack, and died of his injuries on the way to the hospital, medical officials and police said. Reports in Hebrew and Arabic media identified the terrorist as 28-year-old Muhammad Dardouna, who entered Israel illegally from the West Bank. According to the reports, Dardouna was originally from Jabaliya, in the Gaza Strip, but resided in the West Bank after moving there several years ago. Assuta Medical Center said it was treating an individual who was moderately hurt by pieces of his car window that were shattered by gunfire, and two others who were lightly hurt, including a doctor who stopped his car to treat the injured and was hit by another car. Another injured person was taken to Kaplan Medical Center. An initial probe found that Dardouna approached the road by foot, police said. Citing the Central District Police Commander, Channel 12 reported that he approached the police car stationed at the side of the road after the officers noticed him walking and called him over for a security check. He then fired at Kadosh and injured the additional four people before he was shot by a Magen David Adom ambulance service volunteer who happened to be at the scene. “I was driving and I saw a person with a gun standing on the road,” the volunteer told the Kan public broadcaster. “At first I thought it was a policeman, and then he fired a few shots at me. I ducked, and immediately after that I jumped out of my car, drew my gun, and shot him.” |
