Killer FPV Drones of Hezbollah

Early today, 12 IDF soldiers were wounded when an explosive-laden first-person-view (FPV) drone directly struck a vehicle in the Shomera area near the Lebanese border. Shomera (Hebrew: שׁוֹמֵרָה, lit. 'Guard') is a moshav (a type of cooperative agricultural settlement in Israel) in northern Israel. Located near the Lebanese border, it falls under the jurisdiction of Ma'ale Yosef Regional Council. In 2024 it had a population of 428.  An Israel Defense Forces armory is located in the moshav.

Sergeant Idan Fuchs, 19, was killed Sunday when a Hezbollah explosive drone struck his position in southern Lebanon. At Segula Military Cemetery in Petah Tikva, Sgt. Idan Fox, 19, was laid to rest after falling in combat in Lebanon. His mother, Meital, recalled being summoned to a “work meeting” at the council offices, where she received the devastating news.

Six other soldiers were wounded, four seriously. The IDF reports daily drone violations since the April 17 ceasefire took effect, as Hezbollah expands its core of FPV drone operators.

Two of the soldiers were moderately wounded and the others sustained light injuries.

 The FPV drones are operated via a thin fiber-optic cable, allowing operators to transmit commands and real-time video without using radio waves, making them resistant to electronic warfare jamming.

Russian FPV Operators Can Control Drones From Hundreds Of Miles Away so they say....

 IDF officers are calling for removing operational constraints and shifting to a more offensive approach, aimed not only at stopping individual drones but at striking the systems behind them. 

This would include targeting infrastructure, equipment depots, operational units and supply chains tied to the drone network.

All This Land Was Our Land Originally

 Nadene Goldfoot                                         

 A National Jewish Homeland was promised to the Jews by Arthur Balfour (the British Foreign Secretary) of Great Britain through the Balfour Declaration issued on November 2, 1917. This public statement conveyed British support for a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine.

• Ottoman Rule (1517–1917): The region was managed by the Ottoman Empire, which maintained a predominantly Arab population.  Post-WWI Mandate: After the Ottomans, the British Mandate for Palestine (1920s–1947) continued to have a majority Arab population, although tensions increased over Jewish immigration. Following the 1947 UN Partition Plan and the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, control of the region was split, with Israel occupying 78% of the territory and neighboring Arab nations managing the remainder.

Transjordan (later Jordan) officially annexed Judea and Samaria—thereafter known as the West Bank—on April 24, 1950, after seizing the territory during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. This followed a, April 3, 1949 armistice, and the land was formally incorporated despite international opposition, recognized only by the UK, Iraq, and Pakistan.

Since 1967 and the bit war of 6 days when Israel won after being attacked by all their neighbors and more and Israel won the battle in Six days !!! By themselves !!!!Expect for a higher place !!!!

Still, land Israel has is the red sector on the map.  In fact, it really indents more allowing to show Judea and Samaria now called "WEST  BANK" and of course, Gaza, the land Israel gave to the Palestinians hoping for good will and peace, in 2005.

Israel completed its unilateral disengagement from the Gaza Strip in August and September 2005. During this period, Israel dismantled all 21 Jewish settlements, evacuated roughly 9,000 settlers, and withdrew all security forces, ending 38 years of direct military presence. While Israel withdrew, it maintained control over borders, airspace, and maritime access. That was for security reasons.  

Judea is the lower or southern section of the land, was called Eretz Yisrael.  Jews come from there.  It was our homeland.  

Here is the map of the original 12 tribes of Jacob, father of the tribes.  They lost the Northern Tribes in 721 BCE. 

       Jacob and his wife and his other wives and their children who became the 12 tribal fathers

 The northern tribes of Israel were taken into exile by the Neo-Assyrian Empire between 722 and 721 B.C., following the fall of their capital, Samaria, ending the Kingdom of Israel. Assyrian records indicate that 27,290 people were deported to Upper Mesopotamia and the Medes. Remnants of these tribal members are now appearing since Israel is once again a state.  

Yes, it's a reach, but we Jews go back farther than the Arabs do of being occupants on this land.  This history lives in our bloodline, showing up in our DNA.  How we react to it depends on how deeply our families were involved, and how others reacted to Jews.                   

As of April 2026, the population of Israel is approximately 10.244 million people. This includes 7.790 million Jews and others (76%), 2.157 million Arabs (21.1%), and 296,000 foreign citizens (2.9%), reflecting a growth of 146,000 people since April 2025.   

Thursday Report on Tousi

 Nadene Goldfoot                                           

                                                

• This pertains to a filmmaker named Mahyad Tousi (born 1973),  That would make him  53.  He doesn't look it;  looks much younger to me.   His father is still in Iran though he and his mother live in England.   
• Police Interview (April 2026): In April 2026, reports indicated Mahyar Tousi was required to attend a police interview in the UK regarding his reporting on demonstrations, leading to fears of arrest. However, subsequent updates suggested police backed down.
• Background: Tousi is a vocal critic of the Iranian regime (Ayatollah's) who fled Iran as a teenager and resides outside the country.  IA evidently gets things mixed up!!!  It was the shah of Iran who was driven out of the country with his wife and son.  
• The son, the Crown Prince; Reza Pahlavi (born October 31, 1960) now 66 years old,  is the last Crown Prince of the Pahlavi dynasty of Iran. He is the eldest son of the late Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and Empress Farah Pahlavi. He has lived in exile in the United States since the 1979 Iranian Revolution, serving as a prominent opposition figure calling for a democratic transition in Iran.
• Background on the Current Situation:
  The current instability follows a brutal crackdown on nationwide protests that began in late December 2025, sparked by a collapsing currency and economic mismanagement. These protests, which turned into demands for regime change, were met with severe repression.  The people rebelled.  

Key Developments in Iran (April 2026):

• War & Diplomacy: Iran is evaluating a U.S. proposal to pause the conflict and resume nuclear negotiations, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi engaging with Russia. However, direct talks are strained, and the U.S. is "cooling" on Iranian offers that do not address nuclear issues.
• Strait of Hormuz Blockade: A "dual blockade" of the Strait of Hormuz by U.S. and Iranian forces has nearly halted shipping, leading to soaring global oil prices and bringing gas prices in the U.S. to their highest point since 2022. 
• Internal Struggles & Repression: Following a severe economic collapse in early 2026, the regime has maintained control after brutally suppressing mass protests that resulted in thousands of deaths. The government remains under intense pressure from high inflation and a devalued currency.
• Military Status: Third U.S. aircraft carrier has arrived in the region to support the blockade, while reports suggest major Iranian proxy, Hezbollah, has been severely weakened. 
• Other reports, not by IA,  are that Hezbollah has hit a very 
• special Israeli
• Unit not known to be taken by surprise,  who were in a tunnel
• at the time.  A large death count of IDF was counted.  It could 
• be a rumor .

Hezbollah on Wednesday launched a massive drone strike targeting Israeli troops, and it’s raising serious questions about Israel’s ability to counter this evolving threat. According to a statement from Hezbollah, its fighters carried out a large-scale drone attack overnight. The target: a gathering of Israeli soldiers at the newly established Nimr al-Jamal position. The group claims the strike involved multiple attack drones and resulted in a "confirmed hit". Earlier, Israel’s military said it had uncovered and destroyed two major underground tunnels allegedly built by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon near Qantara. …

It was a missile hit on Israel.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Pyt7my_pYY
