IDF arrests Quds Force-backed terror cell operating along Israel's borders
IDF special forces arrested a terror cell operated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force in southern Syria, the military said on Monday.
Following investigations by the IDF's Unit 504, soldiers from the Alexandroni Brigade, under the command of Division 210, completed a nighttime operation to arrest the terror cell operated by Iran's Quds Force in the Tel Kudna area in southern Syria, the IDF stated.
This marks the second time in the past week that the military arrested several Iranian operatives who posed a threat in the area.
The IDF's Unit 504 had also arrested Iranian terror cell members days earlier, also operating in southern Syria, following receiving special intelligence from the interrogations of other Syrian operatives.
The operation last Wednesday also saw the IDF locating weapons in the areas where the terrorists were arrested, including several firearms and grenades.
The Jerusalem Post disclosed in January that the unit, which is the military's human spying version of the Mossad, has been vital in unmasking Hamas's abuse of hospitals for a variety of terrorist and military purposes.

Israel's defense minister plans to hold Gazan population in ‘humanitarian city' on ruins of Rafah, Israeli media reports
Israel's defense minister said he told the military to advance plans for what he called a 'humanitarian city' built on the ruins of Rafah in southern Gaza, according to reports in Israeli media. In a briefing to reporters Monday, Israel Katz said the zone would initially house some 600,000 displaced Palestinians who have been forced to evacuate to the Al-Mawasi area along the coast of southern Gaza, multiple outlets who attended in the briefing reported. Palestinians who enter the zone will go through a screening to check that they are not members of Hamas. They will not be allowed to leave, Katz said, according to Israeli media. Eventually, the defense minister said the entire population of Gaza – more than 2 million Palestinians – will be held in the zone. Katz then vowed that Israel would implement a plan, first floated by US President Donald Trump, to allow Palestinians to emigrate from Gaza to other countries. Israeli politicians, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have eagerly supported the emigration plan, despite no country publicly expressing any willingness to take part. At a White House dinner with Trump Monday, Netanyahu said, 'We're working with the United States very closely about finding countries that will seek to realize what they always said, that they want to give the Palestinians a better future, and I think we're getting close to finding several countries.' Katz said the zone for displaced Palestinians will be run by international bodies, not the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Israeli media reported. The IDF would secure the zone from a distance, Katz said, in a plan that appears to imitate the aid distribution mechanism of the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). GHF operates the distribution sites, but the IDF surrounds them militarily. It's unclear what bodies would agree to participate in Katz's plan, especially since most international organizations refuse to take part in GHF's distribution sites due to serious concerns about impartiality and the safety of the Palestinian population. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed trying to approach the distribution sites since they began operating a month ago, according to health officials in Gaza and the United Nations. A spokesman for Katz has not responded to repeated requests for comment. Asked about the plan at a press conference on Tuesday evening, IDF spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said the military 'will present several options to the political echelon.' 'Every option has its implications. We will act according to the directives of the political echelon,' Defrin added. On Tuesday, British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said the UK opposes the new plan, just as it opposed GHF. 'I'm surprised at the statements that I've seen from Mr. Katz over the last 24 hours,' Lammy told a parliamentary committee. 'They run contra to the proximity to a ceasefire that I thought we were heading towards.' Lammy added that he does not recognize the plan 'as a serious context in which the people of Gaza can get the aid and support that they need at this time.' In a statement Tuesday, Hamas said that Israel's 'persistent efforts to forcibly displace our people and impose ethnic cleansing have met with legendary resilience. Our people have stood firm in the face of killing, hunger, and bombardment, rejecting any future dictated from intelligence headquarters or political bargaining tables.' Michael Sfard, an Israeli human rights lawyer, said Katz's plan amounts to the forcible transfer of a population in preparation for deportation. Both of these are war crimes, Sfard told CNN. 'If they are done on a massive scale – whole communities – they can amount to war crimes,' Sfard said, dismissing the notion that any departure from Gaza could be considered voluntary. 'There is no consensual departure. There is no voluntary departure. People will flee from Gaza because Israel is mounting on them coercive measures that would make their life in Gaza impossible,' he said. 'Under international law, you don't have to load people on trucks at gunpoint in order to commit the crime of deportation.' A senior diplomat from the United Arab Emirates, considered one of the key countries in any plan for post-war Gaza, said removing Palestinians from the enclave would be unacceptable. 'The UAE has publicly and categorically rejected the forced displacement of Palestinians…our public position and our private position is that we reject the forced dislocation of any Palestinians from the territory now to rebuild Gaza,' Lana Nusseibeh told CNN. Qatar, which is now hosting proximity talks between Israel and Hamas, also rejected the deportation of Gaza's population. 'We have said very clearly we are against any forced relocation of Palestinians, or any relocation of Palestinians outside their land,' Majed Al Ansari, spokesman for the Qatari Foreign Ministry, said on Tuesday.

The Perfect Time for Regime Change in Iran
What does President Trump actually want to do with Iran? The week that the U.S. struck the country's nuclear sites, he posted on Truth Social that 'if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn't there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!!' But since then he has been pushing to end the Israel-Iran war. The instinct behind Mr. Trump's post was the right one. If unimpeded, Iran's jihadist rulers will rebuild their nuclear program. Iran's deputy foreign minister told NBC News on July 3: 'Our policy has not changed on enrichment.' To prevent Iran from achieving its ambitions, the U.S. should press its advantage and work openly with Israel and the Gulf states to undermine the regime.

Netanyahu seeks US mechanism for approval on future Iran strikes if nuclear threat resurfaces
EXCLUSIVE: Source tells 'Post' that PM is seeking similar mandate to IAF in Lebanon, where there is prior US approval for strikes on suspicious activity at nuclear sites, or involving uranium. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will ask US President Donald Trump for a "green light" to take action against any Iranian activity related to Tehran's rebuilding of its nuclear program in their Monday meeting, an Israeli official told The Jerusalem Post. "The goal is to receive a mandate similar to the situation in Lebanon, meaning that if suspicious activity is detected at nuclear sites, or if there's evidence of uranium being removed from the areas that where hit by US and Israeli warplanes, there would already be prior US approval to act against it," the official added. Israel's objective is to establish a US-led mechanism aimed at preventing Iran from reconstructing its nuclear program. "We want the snapback sanctions mechanism to be imposed on Iran as well, due to its lack of cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, the official told the Post, adding that Israel wants to increase pressure on Tehran. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors left Iran last week "due to security reasons while Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian has signed a law suspending cooperation with the IAEA." Before departing for Washington on Sunday, Netanyahu told reporters that "We must remain vigilant against Iran's attempts to renew its pursuit of nuclear weapons aimed at our destruction." The IDF has shifted its focus back to southern Lebanon, where it continues to target Hezbollah infrastructure, after the Israel-Iran War concluded in June. The IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) killed terrorist Qassem Salah Al-Husseini in the area of Kfarkela in southern Lebanon on Thursday, the two security agencies announced Friday. Husseini was a Lebanese terrorist involved in advancing plots against Israeli civilians and IDF troops on the northern front on behalf of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps's Quds Force. The US bombing of Iran's key Fordow nuclear site has "seriously and heavily damaged" the facility, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in an interview with CBS News. "No one exactly knows what has transpired in Fordow. That being said, what we know so far is that the facilities have been seriously and heavily damaged," Araghchi said in the interview broadcast on Tuesday. Jerusalem Post Staff, Peled Arbeli, and Reuters contributed to this report.
