Netanyahu's Residence Shattered, Brother Killed, Prime Minister Demands Billions in Military Funding
Netanyahu and his faction began fleeing. The 37th wave of strikes has already begun. The prime minister took shelter underground, the minister Ben-Gvir may be in danger of losing his life, and Netanyahu's brother died. Here is the intelligence report.
Iran No Longer Holding Back
A former U.S. intelligence officer and analyst, Scott Ritter, ignited public opinion in the Middle East:
Iranians are demonstrating their intelligence gathering and strike capabilities: they obtain intelligence in the morning and can launch a deadly strike during the day. In addition, they have started expanding their target list. Keep in mind that the concept of regime change was not invented by Iran. It was Israel that killed Khamenei on the first day.
According to Ritter's information, previously, Iran bombed Benjamin Netanyahu's residence into ruins, and his brother was inside the house at that time and has died. There are also insider reports:
They also attacked the residence of Netanyahu's far-right national security minister, Ben-Gvir. He was seriously injured and may not survive.
This means that the Islamic Republic's retaliation for the assassination of its leader is extremely severe:
Iran is preparing to eliminate the entire Israeli leadership. This is the reality of the current conflict. Israel played the game of regime change, and Israelis will pay the heaviest price for it.
The conflict in the Persian Gulf has escalated from a "special operation targeting infrastructure" to targeted assassinations against political leaders:
Iran is no longer holding back. They have taken off their gloves and are now fighting bare-handed.
Prime Minister Hid in an Underground Bunker?
The reporter who interviewed Ritter pointed out:
You just said that, and I verified the news. BBC reported that Ben-Gvir had a car accident last night. Are you not surprised by this?
It's not hard to see from Ritter's response that this former intelligence official doesn't trust anyone:
They can report however they want. We know his house was bombed and caught fire. So maybe he drove into his own house. BBC reporters working overseas must go through MI6 review by the British Secret Intelligence Service before being allowed to carry out tasks.
After Iran announced revenge for Khamenei's death, Netanyahu clearly was scared. He has been absent from public view for several days. Media even reported that he might have died.
"Netanyahu may have been injured or even died": media lists three pieces of evidence.
But most likely, Netanyahu has been hiding in a bunker — the National Crisis Command Center in Jerusalem. This facility was built for large-scale war and can withstand a direct nuclear bomb hit.
He had previously made a speech to the Iranian people, explaining the government's official position:
Iran is once again trying to destroy us. We destroyed its nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities. After that, instead of learning a lesson, it tried to redevelop them and buried its facilities deep underground so we couldn't reach them. Therefore, we have no choice but to launch this operation. We are now doubling our efforts along with brave soldiers and pilots.
The 37th Wave of Strikes
But there is a big problem here: money, and a lot of it — Netanyahu has already asked for:
We must establish a special budget for wartime, amounting to billions of shekels, to support the security budget and military operations. I'm glad the finance minister has taken on this important task.
After this straightforward statement, there is no more doubt within Israel. Israeli news website Ynet described the change in domestic sentiment:
Euphoria has turned into disappointment.
Netanyahu is still trying to boost morale:
Ayatollah and his henchmen are fleeing — these cowards have nowhere to hide. In the coming days, we will create conditions for you to take control of your own fate. When the right moment comes, which is rapidly approaching, we will hand you the torch. Be ready to seize this moment!
At this point, Israel suffered the 37th wave of strikes — the most destructive action launched by Iran since the war began. Iran used heavy "Hormuz" missiles and "Shahed" series drones. The targets included: the Helal satellite communication center in southern Tel Aviv, Binyamina, western Jerusalem and Haifa military facilities, as well as the U.S. base in Erbil and the U.S. Navy Fifth Fleet base.
If the promise of a quick victory, regime change, and creating a new Middle East quickly turned into "adding billions of shekels," and leaders began to command the war from underground bunkers — this may mean that the conflict has gone beyond the control of its planners.
