Israel to bring in thousands of Jews from India

Israel to bring in thousands of Jews from IndiaIsrael has approved a government plan to facilitate the immigration of approximately 5,800 members of the Bnei Menashe community from the northeastern Indian states of Mizoram and Manipur by 2030. These immigrants, considered descendants of one of the lost tribes of Israel, will be resettled in the Galilee region in northern Israel. The Israeli government will provide financial support, Hebrew language classes, employment services, and housing assistance to help their integration, with the first group of around 1,200 expected to arrive next year. This move follows nearly 4,000 Bnei Menashe who have immigrated over the past two decades, and the initiative was coordinated with the Indian government.

United Democracy ProjectAIPAC announced it will stop directly funding candidates, but the move appears to be a rebrand rather than a retreat. Amid growing public backlash, its funding is being shifted to the United Democracy Project, a super PAC it established years ago. As a super PAC, it can raise unlimited, harder-to-trace money, and has already received over $90 million from AIPAC members to support candidates.3 days ago#AIPAC #United Democracy Project #USA

Bayraktar TB2 hits targets with pinpoint accuracy using air-launched FPV dronesTwo attack drones launched from a Bayraktar TB2 unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) struck their targets during a flight test in northwestern Türkiye, Turkish defense firm Baykar said Wednesday. The TB2 took off from the Kesan Flight Training and Test Center in Edirne province carrying 16 first-person-view (FPV) drones developed by Skydagger. It released two of them over the test area, Baykar said. After launch, the TB2 served as an airborne communications relay. Operators used the link to steer the smaller drones into their targets. FPV drones give operators a pilot’s-eye view through an onboard camera. The test adds to the strike capabilities of an aircraft that entered service with the Turkish Armed Forces in 2014 and was first armed in 2015. In addition to flying reconnaissance and surveillance missions, the TB2 can use its onboard laser to designate targets and carry up to four guided munitions, including Roketsan’s MAM-L and MAM-C. The TB2 fleet surpassed 1 million flight hours in 2024, a decade after the aircraft entered service, according to Baykar. Baykar said it has signed export agreements with 36 countries for the TB2 and 16 for its Akinci combat drone, covering 39 countries across the two programs. The company’s exports reached a record $2.2 billion in 2025, and overseas sales have accounted for about 90% of its revenue in recent years.5 days ago#BayraktarTB2 #Baykar #TurkishDefenseIndustry #FPVDrones

Israel intentionally released footage of Mossad operatives in IranFormer Mossad chief David Barnea has said Israel intentionally released images of a covert operation in Iran during the June 2025 conflict to provoke mass arrests and make it harder for Iranian forces to find real Israeli agents, according to a recent report by The Jerusalem Post. Barnea said the official video with the Mossad logo, released on the morning of Operation Rising Lion, was meant to protect agents on the ground by overwhelming Iranian counterintelligence. He said Iranian authorities arrested 21,000 people during the operation. “We wanted to make sure they arrested so many people in Iran that they wouldn’t be able to distinguish the wheat from the chaff and would eventually release everyone,” he said. Barnea also said some of those hanged in Iran on accusations of working for Israel had no connection to Mossad. last week#Israel #Iran #Gaza
