🚀🇮🇱 THE FUTURE IS ALREADY HERE. AND MUCH OF IT IS BEING BUILT IN ISRAEL.
I'm on the ground at UVID DroneTech 2026 in Tel Aviv, exploring some of the world's most advanced drone, AI, autonomous systems, and defense technologies.
From next-generation drones to technologies that are redefining modern warfare, Israel is at the forefront of innovation.
I'll be sharing what I discover, the people behind the breakthroughs, and the technologies shaping tomorrow.
Follow this thread. It's going to be interesting. 🇮🇱
How is it that a people who have their own UN refugee agency can't seek refuge outside an active war zone?
🇮🇱🔥 FIRST, WE COULD SEE THE DRONES. THEN THEY LEARNED HOW TO DISAPPEAR. NOW ISRAEL IS MAKING THEM VISIBLE AGAIN.
The next generation of drones is flying lower, getting smaller, and eliminating the radio signals that once gave them away. Traditional detection systems are being challenged. Sometimes there's just FIVE SECONDS to react.
Now Israeli tech company @InnovizLiDAR is changing the equation.
At #UVID2026, I interviewed founder and CEO @KeilafOmer about how technology originally developed for self-driving cars is being transformed into precision detection systems for the modern battlefield.
You can't stop what you can't see. Now we can see...
🎥 Watch the interview.

🚨 BREAKING: IRANIAN AIR DEFENSE ACTIVITY REPORTED OVER KHUZESTAN.
Unconfirmed reports indicate anti-aircraft activity over Izeh, southwestern Iran.
The reports come amid separate claims of a U.S. strike on a military facility in Sirik, southern Iran.
It remains unclear what triggered the reported air defense activity or whether the two incidents are connected.
Developing.
🚨 BREAKING: U.S. STRIKE REPORTEDLY HITS MILITARY SITE IN SOUTHERN IRAN.
Reports indicate American forces have targeted a military facility in Sirik, near the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.
Explosions have been reported in the area, but U.S. responsibility for the latest incident has not yet been independently confirmed.
We've been tricked. Their underground missile silo is AI....
🚨 IRAN IS HIDING AN ARSENAL OF MISSILES DEEP UNDERGROUND. AND IT WANTS THE WORLD TO SEE IT.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards have unveiled what they claim is a new underground “missile city.”
Footage shows long tunnels lined with ballistic and cruise missiles, launchers, and military vehicles.
Tehran says it has also moved missile production underground to withstand future attacks.
Qatar has contributed $142.9 MILLION to the UN Office of Counter-Terrorism since 2007.
Qatar hosted Hamas leaders in Doha. It gave Hamas over 230 million over the years. Now look at who tops the UN’s list of donors to its counterterrorism office. Qatar again.
On October 7, as Hamas gunmen massacred civilians in Israel, Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh and other leaders watched the attack on @AJEnglish from Haniyeh’s office in Doha. Then they bowed in a prayer of thanks.
The UN’s own records show that Qatar contributed $142,864,281 to its counterterrorism work. That is 30.5% of all contributions listed since 2007. More than 10 times what the United States gave, roughly 60 times what Britain gave and 136 times what France gave.
@UN_OCT, what do you say to the families of those murdered on October 7 when they see who tops your donor list?
Qatar gave Hamas leaders a home and their organization millions. Now it can point to your own records and claim credit for fighting terrorism. That makes a mockery of everything your office stands for.

🚨 ONE YEAR LATER, HAMAS STILL REFUSES TO DISARM. NOW THE BOARD OF PEACE IS CALLING IT OUT.
The U.S.-backed Board of Peace has condemned Hamas's continued exploitation of hospitals and civilian infrastructure in Gaza.
The message is clear: Trump's vision for Gaza cannot move forward while Hamas retains control and refuses to surrender its weapons.
A year after the peace roadmap was introduced, Hamas still hasn't met its central demand: disarmament.

🚨 HAMAS DIDN’T JUST HIDE IN A HOSPITAL. IT TURNED ONE INTO A HEADQUARTERS — AND A HOSTAGE PRISON.
The IDF has exposed new details about Hamas operations inside Nasser Hospital in Gaza.
According to the military:
🔴 The hospital’s second floor served as a heavily guarded Hamas command center, off-limits to civilians.
🔴 Dozens of Israeli hostages, including women, children and elderly people, were held inside the hospital during the war.
🔴 Hamas commanders allegedly used the facility to plan attacks against Israeli troops and rebuild their military capabilities.
Among those identified was senior Hamas commander Muhammad Abu Ismail, whom the IDF says was responsible for holding several Israeli hostages captive.
The building was a hospital. What Hamas allegedly operated inside was something very different.

🚨 IRAN WANTS A DEAL. BUT NOT ON AMERICA’S TERMS.
A U.S. official tells i24NEWS that Tehran has gone too far with its demands, as negotiations remain deadlocked over uranium enrichment and the sequence of steps toward a deal.
Qatar’s prime minister reportedly acknowledges that the gaps remain enormous.
The biggest sticking point? Iran refuses to allow its enriched uranium to leave the country.
Washington wants concessions. Tehran is holding its ground.

COULD ENDING U.S. MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL HURT AMERICA MORE THAN ISRAEL?
Dr. Eric Mandel of @MepinOrg warns on i24NEWS that cutting aid could threaten over 20,000 American jobs, weaken U.S. influence, and embolden China and Russia.
His argument: Israel isn't just a recipient of American military aid. It's a strategic partner that strengthens America's defense capabilities.
🎥 Watch the interview.
🇮🇱 HOW DO YOU STOP AN IRANIAN ATTACK DRONE? FIRST, YOU LEARN TO FIGHT ONE.
At UVID DroneTech 2026, I met David, co-founder of Israeli company Smart Drones.
His company builds flying replicas of Iranian Shahed drones, allowing Israeli defense systems to practice detecting, tracking and intercepting real-world threats.
Their Red Squadron simulates enemy drones, including models used by Hezbollah.
Their Blue Squadron develops tactical UAV capabilities.
Same technology. Two very different missions.

Any chance they build a government together?
🚨 ISRAEL'S DEFENSE MINISTER: NO DISAGREEMENTS OVER IRAN.
Defense Minister Israel Katz says he, Prime Minister Netanyahu, and IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir are fully aligned on Iran and will take whatever measures are necessary to protect Israel.
The statement comes amid heightened security tensions and warnings from Gadi Eisenkot against launching military operations without an immediate threat.
Katz insists national security remains the priority, even as coalition negotiations continue.

🚨 $20 MILLION BOUNTY: FBI SEEKS IRANIAN IRGC OPERATIVE ACCUSED OF PLOTTING ASSASSINATIONS ON U.S. SOIL
Shahram Poursafi, an alleged member of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), is wanted for his suspected role in a murder-for-hire plot targeting former senior U.S. government officials.
According to the FBI, Poursafi allegedly offered $300,000 to arrange the assassination of a former U.S. official in Washington, D.C., or Maryland.
The U.S. State Department is offering a reward of up to $20 million for information leading to his arrest or conviction.

🇮🇱 WHAT IF SOLDIERS COULD PRINT THE EQUIPMENT THEY NEED RIGHT ON BASE?
At UVID DroneTech 2026, I stopped by Systematics to explore how 3D printing is changing Israel's defense industry.
From prototype anti-drone weapons that launch nets to protective equipment for battlefield medics, the applications are remarkable.
But here's what caught my attention:
Instead of waiting weeks for a replacement part, soldiers and engineers can design, print and test solutions to problems emerging directly from the battlefield.
A problem today. A potential solution tomorrow.
🎥 Watch my conversation with Yair from Systematics.

🇮🇱🚀 ISRAEL'S ROCKET ARTILLERY IS MAKING BIG MOVES IN NATO.
Israeli defense giant Elbit Systems has secured a $260 MILLION contract to supply its PULS rocket artillery systems and munitions to a European NATO member.
The five-year deal adds to growing European demand for Israeli-made precision strike technology.

🚨 TRUMP REPORTEDLY BACKS TIM COOK TO REPLACE JENSEN HUANG AT NVIDIA.
According to Faytuks Network, President Trump has suggested former Apple CEO Tim Cook as a potential successor to Jensen Huang following his abrupt resignation.
NVIDIA has appointed CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO while searching for a permanent replacement.
🚨 EISENKOT FACES A WARNING FROM WITHIN HIS OWN PARTY.
Israel Prize laureate Miriam Peretz says her son, Yashar MK Elisaf Peretz, will resign from the Knesset if Gadi Eisenkot forms a government that includes an Arab party.
She clarified that her warning concerns Arab parties joining the government, not merely supporting it from outside.

🚨 IF EPSTEIN WAS PART OF SOME GRAND JEWISH CONSPIRACY, WHY DID HE BUILD A MOSQUE-INSPIRED STRUCTURE ON HIS ISLAND INSTEAD OF A SYNAGOGUE?
As Congress pushes to release more Epstein files, antisemitic conspiracy theories are once again targeting Jews collectively.
Epstein himself reportedly referred to the mysterious building on his island as a “mosque.”
Perhaps it's time to stop blaming an entire people for the crimes of individuals.
