BREAKING
Abu Zaid: I believe that the Iranian operation was multi-layered, combining cyber and electronic attacks with coordinated on-the-ground infiltrations by agents
Abu Zaid: Usually, archives of such sensitivity are typically protected by a full-scale security system, but it appears that Iranian intelligence managed to make use of a gap in it
Strategic military expert Nidal Abu Zaid: Iran has stripped "Israel" of the superiority and deterrence long boasted by its security minister, chief of staff, and other top officials
Fallahpour: Iran may use these documents in its battle with the United States and Western countries over its nuclear program
Fallahpour: Iran may have obtained additional documents related to "Israel's" regional projects, not just its nuclear program
Fallahpour: The coming weeks will be full of surprises, as Iran has forced Israeli intelligence agencies into a state of psychological exhaustion
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Tehran, Siavash Fallahpour: Iran has redefined the concept of deterrence, shifting it away from traditional military balance toward a new strategic framework
Sources to Al Mayadeen: Number of documents so great that merely studying them, along with accompanying images and footage will require a great deal of time.
Sources to Al Mayadeen: Large data trove was confirmed to have arrived to "safe sites".
Sources to Al Mayadeen: Operation had taken place in past, but large size of documents and need to transfer entire batch inside Iran necessitated secrecy.

    Poll shows most Israelis doubt Gaza war will free captives

A new poll by the Israel Democracy Institute (IDI) reveals that most Israelis no longer believe the ongoing military operation in Gaza will achieve its central goals—securing Israeli captives or toppling the Palestinian resistance.

The survey, conducted between May 26 and 29, comes amid the "Chariots of Gideon" offensive, a campaign that has drawn international condemnation for its devastating impact on Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

According to IDI's findings, only 37% of Israeli respondents think the war will lead to the return of captives held by Palestinian resistance groups. Similarly, 38.5% believe it will defeat Hamas and "end its governance" in the Gaza Strip.

Disillusionment is especially pronounced among Palestinians residing in the '48 occupied territories, with just 27.5% expecting the operation to secure the hostages' release, and only 31% believing it will bring an end to Hamas' presence in Gaza.

Netanyahu’s base also losing confidence

Notably, skepticism extends even to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s core supporters. Among those who voted for his Likud party in the 2022 elections, a mere 27% believe the military campaign will free the hostages, while only 31% think it will dismantle Hamas' authority.

The findings reflect mounting frustration within Israeli society over the prolonged war, which has claimed the lives of tens of thousands of Palestinians, decimated Gaza's infrastructure, and failed to deliver on the Israeli leadership’s promises of "total victory."
