21 November 2021: In the past two days news in primarily Israeli media began to emerge of a potentially massive intelligence and security breach within the private residence of Israel's Defense Minister Benny Gantz. An apparent lack of background checking by the Shin Bet security service appears to have allowed a common criminal, Omri Goren Gorochovsky, a repeatedly jailed bank robber, to work as a domestic cleaner with complete access in the Gantz residence.
Gorochovsky, according to Shin Bet, had contacted an Iranian cyber operation known as Black Shadow (a/k/a 'Moses Staff') with an offer of classified intelligence and the installation of malware into Gantz' home computer in exchange for cash payment. The contact with Black Shadow via Telegram occurred after Israeli media openly reported on the groups attempts to penetrate Israeli security in October. It is reported that until Gorochovsky's discovery by Israeli counter-intelligence his access and activities inside the Gantz private residence had been continuous since April 2019. Now it appears, as one might expect, a cover is being laid over the three years of Gorochovsky's spying activities, the full extent of which might not ever be revealed.
Considering all that has taken place in Israel, and in its relations with the US, and pending almost certain military action against the Iranian nuclear program as the above image attests, the incredible damage that have occurred in the revealing of classified planning for such a strike, the nations involved and details of the same are incalculable. It is also recalled that Gantz' personal cellphone was hacked by Iranian intelligence in 2019. Personal details (PII) on hundreds of IDF soldiers were released, IDF deployments including that of an entire combat brigade, have also been released, so there is no question that a massive security breach had taken place. If Gorochovsky's activities are not solely responsible for this security breach, then there are other well placed moles within Israel's defense establishment. We'll see how this develops if more revelations are forthcoming.
This type of compromise has the potential to trigger unanticipated events or repercussions in diplomatic, military or political arenas.

ReplyDeleteIn the UK starting tomorrow Home Secretary Priti Patel will seek to bring the country in line with the US and EU by designating HAMAS as a terrorist organization.
Patel said Friday that HAMAS political and military wings are "indistinguishable" and engage in "rabid anti-semitism." The new law is necessary for the protection of the UK's Jewish citizens.
An offical UK designation of HAMAS as a terrorist organization will subject its resident UK members to 14-year prison terms.
What was obvious yesterday is even moreso this morning, "a cover is being laid over the three years of Gorochovsky's spying activities, the full extent of which might not ever be revealed." This is obvious in reading reports among Israel's secular media. Truth is a victim there also.
ReplyDeleteA timely reminder of all that Jesus said of Israel 2,000 years ago, as recorded in John 5, remains true to this day, including the prophetic verse 43.
DeleteBack in October the Iranian QF launched an armed drone strike on the U.S. base at al-Tanf in the tri-border area of Syria, Jordan and Iraq.
ReplyDeleteNow intel sources are confirming what was suspected but not openly stated at the time - the Iranian drone attack on al-Tanf (which resulted in no injuries to troops) was in retaliation for Israeli strikes on Iranian QF targets in Syria.
Iran wants to draw the U.S. into the Israel-Iran war. As a result the U.S. Biden Administration has told Israel to stop hitting Iranian targets in Syria because they are now seen as "counter-productive."
Someone tell Joe, when he's not napping or enjoying his ice cream treats, to deploy air defense capabilities (like C-RAM batteries) on al-Tanf. Common military sense.
Just a note to say that there's a comment
ReplyDelete/update in SITREP G7-21. All SITREPs remain active for updates in the comment sections.
The New York Times, the Global Oligarchy's prime propaganda factory is no where near being a trustworthy source, a noteworthy tidbit appeared in their report concerning Iran and its nuclear weapons program in yesterday's edition:
ReplyDelete"Israeli officials insist they have developed a bunker-busting capability that obviates the need for the kind of help they sought from the Bush administration 13 years ago."
This serve to confirm the same point made on Eschatology Today a while back -- Israel does NOT need American bunker busting weapons to take out Iran's nuclear weapons program; Israel's own indigenously manufactured bunker busting weapons are capable of completing that mission alone if need be.
And the world may well be within weeks of witnessing that capability. Iran's nuclear weapons program will suffer a repeat of what took place in Iraq and then again in Syria.

DeleteSpeaking of missile warfare...
ReplyDeleteLast week Russia demonstrated it's new A-235 anti-satellite (ASAT) weapon, a/k/a "Star Warrior," by destroying an old USSR Tselina-1 reconnaissance satellite and turning it into an orbit debris storm.
This was a warning to NATO that if a red line was crossed on Ukraine then "Star Warrior" would be deployed to destroy all 32 NATO GPS satellites in orbit. That would virtually blind NATO missile, naval and ground forces which rely on GPS satellites for targeting data.
The A-235 weapon is launched atop the 2-stage 14TSO33 booster rocket at a speed of Mach 12 (15,000 mph). The A-235 "Star Warrior" has a conventional or nuclear warhead. There is no defense against this ASAT weapon other than a preemptive strike on its DON-2 space targetting radar system.
This is how a possible nuclear war could begin.
