- 🇪🇬/🇮🇱 JUST IN: Egypt refuses to reduce the amount of active troops and police officers in the Sinai peninsula

This comes after an Israeli request to reduce the amount of military forces in sectors A and B, and the police officers in zone C, the zone which is right on the Israeli border where military troops are prohibited.

According to Egyptian analysts, as many as 40.000 Egyptian troops are currently stationed in the Sinai peninsula, more than three times the permitted contingency size according to the Camp David Accords.

Reportedly, some Egyptian troops are even stationed in zone C, which would be a clear violation of the Camp David Accords, with Israel doubting its validity more and more.

- 🇩🇪 BREAKING: A sudden massive surge in TOR clients in Germany

TOR is a network solution for nearly anonymous communications, that are difficult for police to intercept.

This could indicate something big is going to happen (read: coup, uprising, massive criminal activity) or it could mean nothing at all.

- 🇮🇱 Israeli Media: The IDF commenced operation "home and garden" in Jenin

It involves several hundreds of elite Israeli forces, and the stated goal is to end Jenin's role as a "refuge for terrorism"

@Middle_East_Spectator

- Interestingly, for the first time Israeli media are explicitly calling them "Iranian-backed terrorists", instead of simply terrorists

- 🇮🇷 And now...

Iranian military officials revealed a drone, strikingly similar to the one captured in Ukraine :-)

@Middle_East_Spectator

- While seeing this, it is very likely that other Western military equipment will also be transfered to Iran

This is the exact reason that the Israelis refuse to send any meaningful aid to Ukraine.

In a few years, we might see Iranian copies of various Western weapons systems.
