The addition of The Atlantic editor to a secret Signal chat group where the US leadership discussed military strikes against Yemen was the result of a human error, The Guardian claims.
Apparently, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz previously saved the journalistβs phone number in his contact list under a different name by mistake, the newspaper claims, citing βthree people familiar with the matter.β
While it does sound like a huge blunder on Waltzβs part (assuming that the story is true, of course), it raises more questions about the practice of holding top secret discussions via messaging apps than his professional qualities.

π βMorag axisβ: What is known about Israelβs latest target in the Gaza War?
The Israeli military announced that it is conducting operations in the vicinity of the so-called βMorag axisβ in the Gaza Strip after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared his intent to capture this area.
So, what is this axis exactly?
βͺοΈβMorag axisβ is a strip of agricultural land that lies between the Rafah and the border with Egypt to the south and Khan Younis to the north.
βͺοΈThe name βMoragβ appears to be a reference to an illegal Israeli settlement that was established in May 1972 and was dismantled by the Israeli government in August 2005.
βͺοΈControlling this βaxisβ may allow the IDF to bisect the Gaza Strip
βͺοΈSeveral media outlets already speculate that this move is part of the Israeli plan to enact Donald Trumpβs proposal to forcibly evict Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.
