49.5% of the voters voted for the current government.

Which "progressive" government did Israel have in the last 30 years?
Barak and especially Rabin's government stopped the settlements.
Olmert had the "realignment plan", which was shelved due to the 2nd Lebanon war.

 

Eveleth said the Israeli strikes may have "significantly hampered Iran's ability to mass produce missiles."

Iran has the Middle East's largest missile arsenal and supplied missiles to Russia for use against Ukraine, and to Yemen's Houthi rebels and the Lebanese militia Hezbollah, according to U.S. officials.

 

Less missiles and Shahed drones for Russia

Sounds like they hit some missile manufacturing facilities. Hopefully they also hit some drone facilities.
Less missiles and drones for Russia's attacks on Ukraine and for the Iranian militias' attacks on the Kurds in Syria and Iraq.

Edit: Seems like they did also hit drone facilities. Less Shahed drones for Russia.

A weaker Hezbollah/Iran and Russia in Syria will also weaken Assad.
Good for both the Syrians and the Kurds.
The Kurds will have an easier time against Turkey's attacks this way.

Russia and Turkey have been bombing in Syria for many years now. Turkey has also been bombing for years in Iraq.
None of this is actually new.

I assume the drone that took the video exploded moments later, killing Sinwar.

...leading to a gunfight during which Sinwar escaped into a ruined building.

...tank shells and a missile were also fired at the building.

It's a Lebanese paper founded in Beirut by Lebanese.

Interesting stuff.
I deleted it since I started doubting what I wrote and didn't really have the time to look into it.

I agree it's more complicated, but it doesn't change what I wrote.
A weaker Iran means a weaker Russia and vice versa.
If both are weakened, Assad is weakened.
But I guess it's not as clear cut with Turkey. Although the Kurds will have an easier time when they won't have to fight Iranian, Syrian and Russian forces along with Turkish ones. And a weakening of Iran will also weaken Iranian-affiliated Iraqi militias that are also attacking Kurds.

Russia didn't let Israel, one of their bases were shot at for 40 minutes straight as a warning.
They also got a bunch of other warnings before and after. Russia won't waste their time on this when they're already losing so much in the war with Ukraine.

Both Russia and Iran helped Assad in the civil war.

Israel is allied with Azerbaijan because of their border with Iran.

Turkey was already assisting Hamas even before. They'll keep trade with Israel behind the scenes for economic reasons like they've always done.
And at the moment Russia is assisting Turkey in bombing the Kurds.

The dentals match. They compared it to the xrays they had of when he was treated in an Israeli prison.
But I guess they want to be 100% sure with the DNA test.

Nope, he was always in Gaza.
Mousa abu Marzouk and Khaled Mashaal are the ones in Qatar (and previously, Haniyeh).

Hopefully we will also see their ally Russia dismantled in the coming year.
All which might cause the weakening of Turkish forces in Syria and the demise of Assad.
