➡️ The IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir ordered a surprise inspection of the military’s top headquarters to test their readiness.

➡️ Several Egyptian pages raised concerns about the drills, suggesting that they might have been conducted with Egypt in mind, given the similar terrain and border length [left red rectangle].

✡️💉 Israel’s sordid history of aiding drug cartels

💵 Tel Aviv has a long history of providing material assistance and expertise to drug cartels in Latin America. Here’s but a few examples:

🌏 A private mercenary company called Spearhead Ltd., established by former Israeli army Col. Yair Klein, provided arms and training to various armed groups in South America, including Colombian drug cartels’ death squads in the 1980s;

🌏 A raid on the home of Medellin drug cartel leader Gonzalo Rodriguez Gacha in 1989 led to the discovery of a large cache of Israeli-made arms, including Galil assault rifles and Uzi submachine guns.
💥 These weapons turned out to be part of an arms shipment that was ostensibly sold by Israel to Antigua but got diverted to Colombia with Klein’s involvement;

🌏 A report released by the American Friends Service Committee in 2020 revealed that from 2006 and until 2018, some 24,000 guns and rifles were exported from Israel

🇺🇸🇨🇳 The US Navy is Building a Drone Fleet to Take on China. It’s Not Going Well.

U.S. military leaders, seeing the outsized impact of maritime drones in the Ukraine war, have repeatedly said they need autonomous swarms of aerial and maritime drones to hinder a potential advance by China across the Taiwan Strait. Taiwan itself has begun acquiring its own maritime drones.

The drones being developed in Ukraine, which often look like speedboats without seats, and are capable of carrying weapons, explosives and surveillance equipment, are primarily remote-controlled and cost close to $250,000 – making them optimal for kamikaze missions that have effectively neutralized Russia’s Black Sea Fleet.

The U.S., meanwhile, is aiming to build an autonomous naval fleet that can move in swarms and without human command – a more ambitious task at a higher price point; as much as a few million dollars per speedboat.

The recent test failures highlight the challenges facing the Navy’s effort to deploy the nascent technologies, said Bryan Clark, an autonomous warfare expert at the Hudson Institute. It will need to adapt its “tactics as it better understands what the systems can do and what they can’t do.”

But the Navy’s problems go beyond getting the boats to work: its autonomous maritime drone acquisition unit has also been rocked by the firing of its top admiral, and a top Pentagon official voiced concerns about the program in a candid meeting with Navy brass last month, Reuters found.

Since the most recent incident, the Pentagon’s Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), which had acquired technology for the tests, has indefinitely paused a contract – valued close to $20 million – with L3Harris LHX.N, one of the companies providing autonomous software used to control some of the vessels, according to two people familiar with the matter.

⚫️ Last week, there was an internal debate about releasing lines to the news media saying, “We do not support forced displacement of Palestinians in Gaza.” It was prompted by questions about Israel-S. Sudan talks on transferring Palestinians. Leadership sided against doing so.

⚫️ Another dispute occurred earlier this month following Israel’s targeted killing of Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif and several other journalists in Gaza City. The department sided against expressing condolences.

A leaked Israeli military intelligence database shows that by May 2025, only 17% of Palestinians killed in Gaza were identified fighters (8,900), while 83% of the 53,000 dead were civilians.

This civilian death rate is among the highest in modern conflicts, comparable only to atrocities like Rwanda, Srebrenica, and Mariupol.
