THE MIDNIGHT HAMMER

It’s time to thank the man without whom we wouldn’t be here today: General Michael Erik Kurilla, Commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM)

Starting with the convening of international coalitions to help thwart Iranian attacks in April and October 2024, through the offensive and incendiary policy he led against Iran and its proxies throughout his tenure, and of course the tireless support for the State of Israel and its security interests, before, during, and after October 7th.

The highly praised general who commanded Operation Midnight Hammer on June 22nd, is a true friend of the State of Israel. The general is single-handedly responsible for countless plans, operations, and coordination designed to protect the State of Israel.

According to publications in the United States, General Kurilla is almost entirely responsible for convincing the military command at the Pentagon, and as a result, convincing President Trump – to launch an operation to attack the nuclear facilities on June 22nd. The American media reported that since the beginning of Operation “Rising Lion” Secretary of Defense Hegseth considered General Kurilla to be the most senior and knowledgeable professional authority on the issue.

Currently 50 hostages are still in Gaza of which 20 are alive

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

In an operation by the Shin Bet and the IDF in the Gaza Strip, the bodies of three of our abductees who were being held by the murderous terrorist organization Hamas were returned to Israel: Yonatan Samrano, Sergeant Shai Levinson, and Ofra Kedar, may their memory be blessed, who were murdered and kidnapped on October 7, 2023. Together with all the citizens of Israel, my wife and I extend our heartfelt condolences to the dear families, and share in their deep sorrow.

I thank our commanders and fighters for a successful operation, for their determination and courage.

The campaign to return the hostages continues continuously and is taking place in parallel with the campaign against Iran. We will not rest until we bring all of our kidnapped people home – both the living and the dead.

Khormeshwar-4

Iranian media outlets report that the “Khyber” missile, also known as the “Khormeshwar-4”, was launched for the first time in a morning barrage towards Israel.

The missile includes a warhead of over 2 tons of explosives, and is characterized by high maneuverability and exceptional accuracy, even at distances of about 2,000 km.

It is an improved medium-range ballistic missile, with a single liquid-propellant stage, developed based on Chinese-North Korean technology.

The US operation’s code name was “Midnight Hammer”

Attack on nuclear sites by the US | CNN reports:

• The United States used 6 B2 bombers that dropped 12 bunker-penetrating bombs on Fordow.

A total of 160 tons of explosives.

• Submarines launched 30 cruise missiles at the facilities in Natanz and Isfahan.

• A B2 bomber dropped 2 bunker-penetrating bombs in Natanz.

Israeli officials about the damage the US inflicted on Iran:

1. Regarding Fordow – slim chances that the site was not destroyed in light of the “terrifying” bombs that the US dropped,
2. At the site in Natanz, which Israel had already attacked a few days ago, the US actually carried out a kind of “verification of destruction”,
3. In Isfahan – this is not an attack on the conversion facility that Israel attacked, but rather another site carved into the mountain where enriched material was hidden.

General Caine: We dropped 14 MOP bombs in the operation (12 on the Fordow facility and 2 on Natanz). In total, 75 precision munitions were dropped during the operation and 125 US military aircraft participated in it.

Israeli is currently engaged in three ongoing military operations:

Gideon’s Chariots in Gaza
Iron Wall in Judaea and Samaria
Rising Lion in Iran

Apart from the above Israel is conducting preemptive operations in Lebanon and Syria to thwart any imminent threat from their territory.

Saudi Arabia has entered a state of high military alert following the US attack on Iran

The GBU-57 series MOP (Massive Ordnance Penetrator) is a 30,000-pound (13,600 kg)-class precision-guided “bunker buster” bomb.

6 craters in Fordow:

If the weapon grade enriched uranium was not destroyed – the nuclear program went back years. If it was destroyed – the nuclear program was eliminated.

The Prime Minister at the Western Wall with a special prayer for the peace of United States President Trump.

Title: Prayer for the Soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces

Prayer: May He who blessed our fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, bless the soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our God from the border of Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea to the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea. May the Almighty cause the enemies who rise against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed be He, preserve and rescue our fighters from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in all their endeavors. May He lead our enemies under our soldiers’ sway, and may You bless Israel with the blessing of peace. May it be Your will to prolong the days of our land on its soil, and let us say, Amen.
