00:00Iran has been militarily defeated, but it doesn't want to admit it.
00:06The IDF expanded its strikes in Iran beyond nuclear and missile facilities on Monday,
00:11hitting government and internal security targets as well in order to try and force Iran to
00:18acknowledge its defeat.
00:20But instead, Iran's evil regime sent out a triumphant message bragging about getting
00:28the last shot in, destroying a civilian apartment building and murdering a few more Israelis
00:35at the last minute before a ceasefire went into effect.
00:39United States President Donald Trump had already announced a ceasefire scheduled to start at
00:447 am Israel time, but the Iranians decided to try and get a few more barrages of ballistic
00:50missiles in, and so here in Israel we all got the alerts on our phones starting at 5
00:5730 am, then again at 6.09 and just as we were leaving the bomb shelters after that alert,
01:06we got one more at 6.32.
01:09When we emerged from that one, at 7 am we saw the devastating blow of a hit on a residential
01:17building in the Israeli city of Beersheba, resulting in at least 4 fatalities with many
01:23more wounded.
01:24A few moments later, the Iranian regime posted a picture of the destroyed building in Beersheba,
01:31with a caption boasting about how they'd gotten the last shot in.
01:36What can we say in the face of such pettiness and such evil?
01:42I think we just let it speak for itself.
01:45In any case, Israel got its own last shots in, and it wasn't against civilian apartment
01:50buildings.
01:51Reports emerged already on Tuesday morning that in the night time hours, Israeli strikes
01:57on Tehran had resulted in the elimination of another senior nuclear scientist as well
02:03as other strategic assets of the Revolutionary Guards.
02:07The task now is to ensure that the military victory that the IDF has won in this war does
02:13not end up being a diplomatic and strategic defeat, leaving the Ayatollah regime in Iran able
02:19to build its nuclear program and continue tormenting Israel and the entire Middle East.
02:26Welcome to Boots on the Ground.
02:27I'm your host, Yair Pinto, and together with TBN Israel Senior Middle East Analyst Mati Shoshani,
02:34we bring you all the truth about what is happening in Israel.
02:39On Monday evening in Washington DC, President Donald Trump made a dramatic announcement on his
02:45social media account saying that Israel and Iran had agreed to a ceasefire which would
02:51go into effect in a few hours.
02:53Neither Iran nor Israel immediately confirmed the news, and as I already told you, the introduction,
03:00Iran began launching a series of barrages of ballistic missiles just a few hours later.
03:07When their barrages were over, the regime sent out a ludicruously absurd announcement that
03:12they had imposed a ceasefire on Israel and the Americans that took place after they launched
03:20a barrage of missiles on an American base in Qatar which they said had completely destroyed
03:26that base.
03:28That last part is obviously untrue at all.
03:31As the Qatari air defenses shut down all the Iranian missiles except one which was allowed
03:37to land in an open area causing no damage.
03:41TBN Israel Senior Middle East Analyst Mati Shoshani will take us through all the details
03:47of the ceasefire announcement that caught everyone by surprise.
03:52But first, let's circle back to the story that most of us went to bed last night thinking
03:58would be the big event that everyone would be talking about today.
04:02On Monday evening, the IRGC launched a barrage of short and medium range ballistic missiles
04:08at El Ubeid Air Base in Qatar, where over 10,000 United States military personnel and dozens
04:15of aircrafts are located.
04:17It's important to note that the Iranians let everyone know that they were planning to launch
04:22this strike beforehand and they also let it be known that this was the retaliation for
04:28the United States strike under nuclear facilities on Sunday.
04:32The Qatari air defense systems had plenty of time to get ready for it and when it came,
04:38the incoming missiles were all intercepted and no damage was done to the base and no American
04:44or Qatari personnel were harmed.
04:46Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates issued statements strongly condemning Iran for
04:53the attack, but President Donald Trump mocked them of this attack, calling it weak and appearing
04:59to laugh it off, not even mentioning that he was considering responding to it because it
05:05just isn't worth it.
05:07He also thanked Iran for giving advance warning of the attack, which allowed time for the effects
05:12to be minimized and in the event completely avoided.
05:17Nevertheless, one Iranian official said that Iran's attacks on the United States facilities
05:23in the region would continue and the regime officially declared that they called Operation
05:28Herald of Victory as a successful effort at avenging Iran's humiliating loss of their
05:35nuclear facilities at Fordor, Isfahan and Natanz.
05:39As a footnote, one missile also fired in the direction of United States facilities in Iraq,
05:46but it didn't hit anything and all prices immediately fell following the news of the
05:52impotent Iranian attack and the entire matter is likely to soon be forgotten because of the
05:57much bigger news that came a short time later when President Trump announced a ceasefire.
06:04So how did we reach a ceasefire?
06:07It is with mixed feelings that I must tell you that Qatar mediated between Iran and the
06:13United States after Israel told President Trump that we're ready to wrap this war up because
06:19we'd accomplished all of our strategic objectives.
06:23It was during this back and forth that the Iranians informed Qatar and the United States that before
06:29they agreed to a ceasefire they needed to make a symbolic attack on the American base in order
06:35to save face and not look like they had surrendered in the face of superior military force.
06:42It was with all this in mind that President Donald Trump posted a message on social media on
06:48Monday evening saying that the war's end would become official on Wednesday at 7 am Israel
06:55time after both states finished and completed their final tasks.
07:01Unofficial but apparently correct information of this by both Iranian and Israeli officials was
07:07soon announced by various media outlets.
07:09Later, a more official Israeli government announcement said that Jerusalem achieved all the objectives
07:16of Operation Rising Line and far beyond.
07:20It added that Israel removed from itself an immediate existential double threat both in the nuclear
07:26field and in the field of ballistic missiles.
07:30In light of achieving the operation's goals and in full coordination with President Trump,
07:36Israel agreed to the President's proposal for a bilateral ceasefire.
07:41Israel will respond forcefully to any violation of this ceasefire.
07:47That's the official announcement from the Israeli government.
07:49But here at TBN Israel we have a few announcements of our own to make.
07:54We'll start with the fact that up until the end of hostilities, Israeli aircrafts continue
08:01to hit Iranian military targets and also hit both symbols of the regime's power and also elements
08:09of the regime's control mechanisms over its own population.
08:14This included the notorious Yvin Prison in Tehran headquarters of the Basij Militia whose
08:22purpose is to terrorize ordinary Iranians into submitting to the cruel tyranny of this regime.
08:29And last but not least the Israel doom clock in central Tehran which supposedly counted down
08:37to the time until Israel is supposed to disappear from the face of this earth.
08:42Some might call this trolling or maybe counter trolling but these strikes served a serious purpose.
08:49The concentrated attack overnight between Monday and Tuesday on the power bases of the Ayatollah regime
08:56had a dual goal to deter Iran from continuing missile launchers and to respond to the American blow
09:04while simultaneously encouraging an uprising in Iran by striking the regime's security apparatus.
09:11Thus, at the end of the campaign against Israel, regime opponents can try to take back their country
09:18and I hope they have great success in doing so.
09:21But just in case they don't, Israeli aircrafts also used the last few hours before the ceasefire
09:27went into effect to hit hard the strategic assets of the IRGC.
09:33This included the IRGC naval base at the port of Bandar Abbas and long-range radar systems
09:42used to detect Israeli fighter jets in route to Iran.
09:46In parallel, the IDF spokesperson's unit in Persian called twice during the night for evacuations in Tehran
09:54in Meinaran neighborhood and districts 6 and 7 which preceded a wave of strikes in which senior figures
10:04and Iranian nuclear scientists were eliminated.
10:07The air force also hit missile launchers ready to fire at Israeli territory along with other strategic targets
10:14including the headquarters of several security and military districts across the country.
10:20Now, let's move on because we need to look at the other war that many people forgot about these last two weeks.
10:28So, what is happening right now in the Gaza Strip?
10:32In the war against the terror organization Hamas,
10:35less than two months after the start of Operation Gideon's Chariots,
10:39the IDF controls 70 to 75 percent of the territory of the Gaza Strip
10:45and Hamas's capabilities are badly damaged.
10:48It is struggling to recruit operatives and pay salaries and protests against Hamas
10:54and armed gangs willing to fight it are increasing throughout Gaza.
10:59Now, with Iran no longer in position to send Hamas any additional assistance,
11:05things have never looked darker for this evil terrorist organization.
11:10However, there's another issue at stake here.
11:13With all the optimism over the ceasefire, we must examine concerns about whether World War 3 is on the horizon.
11:22After the United States strike on Iran, Russia expressed its anger beyond the scenes
11:28and President Putin went so far as to threaten that Russia might supply Iran with nuclear warheads.
11:36The American response was not long in the coming.
11:39We'll tell you all about that.
11:41For now, the ceasefire has taken effect and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is saying that Israel met
11:48all the operation's objectives and President Trump is making a polite request saying the ceasefire has begun.
11:56Please do not violate it.
11:58So guys, we have a lot to talk about today, so let's dive into the details.
12:02I'm Yair Pinto and this is your boots on the ground report about what is happening in Israel
12:07on day 626 of the war against Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis in Yemen, the Shiite militias in Iraq
12:15and all the other armed groups in this region operating under the control of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps,
12:22which is the head of the Axis of Evil in the Middle East.
12:25And a moment before we begin, I want to call on you to keep showing up for Israel's hardest war,
12:32the war for the truth.
12:34While the forces of evil around the world run propaganda and lie about Israel,
12:40we at TBN Israel will keep spreading the truth and we'll be happy if you join us in this effort.

13:01Let's start with the moments just before the ceasefire and with Israeli Air Force strikes on Iran.
13:08All day on Monday and throughout the night, Israeli Air Force fighter jets carried out pinpoint strikes
13:15in the heart of Tehran, the capital of Iran.
13:18The strikes, carried out under precise direction from the Intelligence Directorate,
13:24were aimed at headquarters and assets of the Iranian Internal Security Forces
13:29and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.
13:32The forces struck were composed of various corps and commanders responsible for a range of missiles,
13:39including brutalizing the population of Iran, or as they would say, internal security,
13:46with the overall aim of maintaining the regime's grip on power and domestic stability.
13:52In the course of the airstrikes, the Basij headquarters was hit, together with other targets.
13:59This is one of the core power centers of the Revolutionary Guards,
14:03whose tasks include enforcing the Islamic Code of Conduct and reporting citizens who violate it to the authorities.
14:12Striking this headquarters is a blow both to the military capabilities
14:17and to the civilian repression capabilities of this regime.
14:22In addition, the Al-Boraj Corps responsible for defending several cities in Tehran Province
14:29against various threats and for maintaining regime stability was struck,
14:35as were the intelligence police and the general security of the Internal Security Forces.
14:40These bodies, too, are an integral part of the regime's military force,
14:46but their main job is to protect the regime from the people.
14:50In addition to hitting these Gestapo-like Internal Security Forces,
14:55the Israeli Air Force also hit additional assets of this regime,
14:59including yet another nuclear scientist, Mohammad Reze Sadidjagi,
15:04whose elimination was confirmed by state media reports on Tuesday morning.
15:09This was accompanied by an acknowledgement that the United States State Department
15:14had imposed sanctions on him two months ago because of his involvement in the nuclear field.
15:21The Meher News Agency, which is another regime mouthpiece,
15:25also admitted on Monday evening that at least seven members of the Iranian Navy were eliminated
15:31and an Israeli strike on the port of Bandar Abbas.
15:34And amidst all of this kinetic activity and while ceasefire talks were underway between Iran and the United States,
15:41the IDF spokesperson's unit in Persian posted an evacuation warning to all those in the Meheran area
15:49and District 6 in Tehran. And according to the notice posted on X,
15:54the IDF will operate in these areas as it has in recent days throughout Iran,
16:00to strike the military infrastructure of the Iranian regime.
16:05It also said that for the citizens' safety, the IDF calls on them to leave the area immediately
16:11and not to approach it in the coming hours. A short time later, the IDF issued a similar notice to the
16:18residents of District 7 in the Iranian capital. And afterwards, dozens of loud explosions were heard
16:25across Tehran for the second time that night. And after United States President Donald Trump's
16:30announcement of the ceasefire, heavy Israeli air force strikes continued across Iran against dozens
16:37of targets, including in Tehran. The IDF spokesperson's unit office issued a statement minutes before the
16:45ceasefire was to take effect, saying that the air force had destroyed missile launchers that had
16:50been ready for launch as part of the salvo fire towards Israeli territory in the recent hours.
16:57On that note, I have a personal comment on all of this. The Iranians want to say that they got the
17:03last shot in by hitting an apartment building in Beersheva with a ballistic missile just minutes
17:10before the ceasefire went into effect. They also want to brag about how they made the Americans come
17:17begging for a ceasefire after destroying the El Udeid base in Qatar, despite the fact that they didn't
17:24manage to land even one single missile on that base and that the Americans weren't begging them for
17:30anything at all. All this regime has to offer is lies, deceit and gaslighting. But I'm not fooling
17:37anyone, because the truth is apparent for everybody to see. The only people the IRGC can do anything to
17:45hurt are the ordinary civilians of Iran, who are the biggest victims of their brutality and their violence.
17:52I think the whole world deserves to be free of this wicked and ridiculous regime, and nobody deserves
17:58to be rid of them more than the Iranian people themselves. But Israeli people also deserve to be
18:04rid of them along with everyone else who lives inside the Middle East. In any case guys, here at TBN
18:11Israel, we will keep bringing you the whole truth, boots on the ground style and straight from the field.
18:18We'd be glad if you stand with us in sharing the truth. You can do that by hitting the subscribe button
18:24and sharing these videos. Now, a moment ago, I spoke about how the people of this regime deserve to be
18:32rid of this terrible regime in Iran. But even if that happens, there will still be a huge mess to clean
18:39up here in Israel, and it's not going to be easy, and we're going to need a lot of help. Since the war
18:46with Iran began on June 13, thousands of reserve soldiers have been called back to duty. While they
18:53serve their families and their businesses are left behind to face the economic fallout, shops are
19:01closed, orders are cancelled, income disappears overnight, and for many small businesses and
19:08business owners and artisans across Israel, this moment is critical. Artsa is helping fill that gap.

20:18standing with Israel. Let's continue and I want to start by reviewing one of the strategies that Israel used
20:27against Iran in this campaign. On Monday, the State of Israel launched a concentrated offensive on the
20:34power bases of the Ayatollah regime in Iran, aiming to weaken them so as to enable a popular uprising in
20:42the future. From the start of Operation Rising Lion, the IDF has struck regime symbols, but then it also
20:51began to directly attack the security bodies whose job is to preserve the regime's survival in Iran.
20:59The targets are the Revolutionary Guards, its internal security apparatus and the Basaj Militia,
21:08and the goal is to weaken and destabilize these bodies which have suppressed uprisings in the past
21:15and still do so so that Iran and the Ayatollah regime will survive. The second objective of these
21:21strikes is to create a new equation for the regime, letting it know that if it keeps launching missiles
21:28at Israeli civilians, Israel will threaten what is most important to it, its own survival. And
21:35according to most analysts, an uprising in Iran, if and when it comes, will not happen immediately.
21:42True, there are elements, even armed ones, who are waiting to rise against the Ayatollah regime,
21:49but the assessment is that if it happens, it will only be happening after the military campaign with
21:55Israel will end. The reason is that as long as Israeli aircrafts and attacks continue, the masses are
22:04first of all afraid to take to the streets while the regime's supporters, and there are many,
22:11continue to rally around the Ayatollahs. Therefore, if an uprising does come, it will happen only when
22:18the regime's opponents can leave their homes, communicate with each other, and organize in order
22:24to act. And meanwhile, striking the regime's symbols and the power bases is meant to increase pressure on
22:31the regime in anticipation of ending the war on the best possible terms. In this context,
22:38the bombing of the entrance to the dreaded Ivan Prison is of great symbolic significance. The prison
22:46itself was not bombed so as not to kill the inmates, but the security means around it were eroded, perhaps
22:54even to encourage escape. In addition, notice that the assault on the Ayatollah's watchdogs is taking
23:01place only in the Tehran area and its industrial hinterland, presenting the regime with a direct
23:08and immediate threat. Unfortunately, no one in Israel's security establishment or intelligence
23:14communities believes this will bring an immediate uprising, but it will allow regime opponents to act
23:21spontaneously at the war's end or shortly afterwards. All of this is speculative and we'll have to see
23:30what happens next, but one thing that you can be sure of is that TBN Israel will be here to continue
23:36reporting on all the details in this war. And guys, if you want to continue receiving these updates, be sure

23:49and never miss another episode of Boots on the Ground. And circling back to the Revolutionary Guards
23:54and their need to save face despite suffering a humiliating defeat at the hands of the IDF and the
24:01United States military on Monday, they attempted to carry out an attack on the El Ubaid Air Base in
24:07Qatar, the largest American military facility in the Middle East housing over 10,000 personnel. The strike was
24:16carried out roughly a day and a half after the American strike on Iran's nuclear facilities and Tehran
24:22dubbed the missile launch towards the base, Operation Herald of Victory, and falsely claimed it was
24:29powerful and destructive and succeeded in striking the base. But the truth is that hours beforehand, the IRGC
24:37gave Qatar advance notice of its intention to strike the base and the forces there prepared in advance. The
24:44Iranian missiles were intercepted and according to American sources, not a single missile hit the
24:49base whose military aircraft had already been redeployed to other bases last week. And following
24:56the phony attack by the IRGC on Monday evening, the instruction for the United States citizens in Qatar to
25:03shelter in places was also lifted and within a few hours, the Emirates airspace, which had been closed,
25:10was reopened. Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates reopened their own airspace a short time later.
25:18And amidst all of this, CNN reported that despite the exchange of military blows,
25:24President Trump's envoy Steve Buitkoff remained in contact with Iranian figures. Two sources familiar
25:31with the matter also noted that Iranians' difficulty in communicating with the Supreme Leader Khamenei
25:37are evident. As has widely been reported, Iran's glorious Supreme Leader has been hiding in a secret place
25:45since the Israeli strikes began and communication between him and his subordinates has been sporadic.
25:53But he will have to approve any major decision, certainly one concerning the renewal of nuclear talks.
26:00And according to CNN, obtaining information from him has recently become increasingly difficult and therefore
26:08the channels between the United States and Iran, both direct and indirect, have been virtually severed.
26:15In Israel, it was assessed even before the attack that Iran would act in a symbolic, limited and coordinated way
26:23against the United States in order to be able to say that they responded to the US strikes.
26:29Some say all politics is a kind of theater and in the Middle East, that is very true.
26:36In this case, Iranian sources quoted in the New York Times report confirmed that this assessment
26:43and said that Iran had to carry out a symbolic strike on the United States and at the same time execute it
26:50in such a way that all sides would have an exit ramp from it. And according to them, the response is
26:57similar to what Iran did after the American elimination of Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani in 2020,
27:05when it fired a salvo of missiles at American bases in Iraq, but only after giving advance notice.
27:13Nevertheless, United States President Donald Trump posted a mocking message about Iranian attacks on the
27:19American base in Qatar, effectively declaring his intention to ignite that strike and avoid another
27:26round of escalation with Iran. In a post on his social media account, Trump described the Iranian
27:32attack on El Udeid in which there were no casualties and no damage as very weak and even thanked Tehran for
27:40the advance notice that gave Qatar, allowing the Americans to prepare for the attack and thus avoid
27:46casualties. Trump expressed hope that now peace could be achieved in this region and sounded as if
27:53hinting that Israel too should refrain from further strikes. His statement came shortly after Tehran also
28:00signaled readiness to return to the negotiating table and a senior official in Tehran in the regime
28:06told Reuters that Tehran has the necessary logic to open talks now after what he called punishing the
28:14aggression. However, as I noted a moment ago, any decision on the way forward for Iran will require
28:21a green light from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who at least in a post on his ex-account sounded
28:29a tough tone toward the United States. The post, accompanied by an AI image of an American flag in
28:36flames, read, ostensibly in Khamenei's name, we did not attack anyone and we do not accept anyone's attacks
28:46and we will not surrender to anyone's attack. This is the logic of the Iranian nation. And my response to
28:54Khamenei is, yeah, whatever. We're not believing or buying anything that you're saying. Guys, let me
29:01know what you think in the comments. Do you agree with Khamenei? What do you have to say to this evil
29:06man? We want to hear it and hopefully he's watching as well. In any case, guys, here at TBN Israel, we
29:13will continue to bring you the most detailed information on what is happening right now in
29:17Israel and the Middle East. So keep spreading the truth and enlist to stand with the truth about

29:42Israel's senior Middle East analyst, Mati Shoshani, who will take us through how we woke up to a ceasefire
29:49with Iran this morning. Mati, after Iran fired at an American base, they began saying that Trump was
29:55desperately begging for a ceasefire. What happened in those hours and how will it influence the road
30:01ahead? Will it really be quiet now? Are the Iranians close to toppling the revolutionary guards in Iran?
30:07Over to you, Mati Shoshani. In just 12 days, the Israeli Air Force, together with the American
30:15Air Force, brought down the government of Iran. This supervillain that for years we feared attacking
30:22is no longer the threat that was expected to be. Just this morning, a ceasefire agreement is signed
30:28between Israel, the U.S., and the Iranians that stops aggression. Whether or not the ceasefire will hold for
30:35more than just a couple days, well that's to be determined. But here's the incredible story of how
30:40this all happened. So it all starts about last night. President Trump, as his habit is, approaches
30:46social media and comes out with several very very humiliating messages towards the Iranians. Now I'll
30:52remind you, if you didn't watch our live broadcast late last night, we reported on the fact that the
30:56Iranian response to that American and Israeli attack that took place over the last couple days was a
31:02feeble and weak attack. In fact, so weak that the Iranians called the Americans in advance to warn them
31:09of their imminent attack, making sure that the bases they attacked were empty of soldiers. And President
31:15Trump makes the point to publicly shame the Iranians, saying, look, your attack, your response was weak,
31:22your attack was meaningless, you've shown your weakness. And then he goes on to the next phase, which is
31:29bringing the Iranians to a solution, bringing them to a ceasefire agreement. So late last night,
31:35President Trump calls on the Israeli government and says, are you ready to go to a ceasefire agreement?
31:40The Israeli war cabinet gathers together late last night, and they look at what we've achieved,
31:44and they give the U.S. the green light saying, look, we've achieved the majority of our war objectives,
31:50and we've done so decisively, we've done so in a manner that is publicly known, and we know that from
31:56here we're able to reach an agreement where the Iranians don't have nuclear capabilities. And it
32:01gets better. President Trump approaches the Qataris and he says, guys, I need you, the Emir of Qatar,
32:07reach out to the Iranians, tell them that Israel is in the game, that we're in the game, and we need
32:11them to agree to a ceasefire agreement. And the Iranians do exactly that. They agree to a ceasefire
32:17agreement several hours later, and about 3 a.m. Israel time last night, President Trump tweets,
32:22or puts actually out on his social network, or several social networks, the announcement saying,
32:27look, we've agreed to a ceasefire agreement that's going to take effect early tomorrow morning. The
32:32Iranians first, followed by the Israelis. Israel's in the loop. The Iranians are in the loop. It seems
32:37like a historic moment has taken place. And what led up to that moment is the fact that for 12 days,
32:44the Israeli Air Force, together with the American Air Force that later joined the game, dominated the
32:49Iranian airspace. And before that, there were several days where Israeli intelligence proved
32:55that it had penetrated deep into the Iranian society, government, IRGC, and nuclear program,
33:01by targeting multiple, dozens at this point, of the high uppers, the leaders of the Iranian nuclear
33:07program, the IRGC, and the Iranian military. And that brought us to this moment, a moment in time
33:13where the U.S., Israel, and the Iranians reach a ceasefire agreement, under which the Iranians
33:18agree to completely cease all acts of aggression. This is nothing short of history. I don't think
33:25anyone could have imagined that this would happen in a matter of just 12 days. And I don't think
33:29anyone could have guessed, maybe aside from Mossad agents, that it would have been done in such a
33:33conclusive, such an overwhelming, and such a public way. Israel dominated the Iranian airspace in just a
33:40matter of hours, and it was able to fly attack sorties over Iranian skies and cities, undisturbed
33:47by Iranian air defenses, air force, or anything else. And the Iranian counterstrike against Israel,
33:53though painful, was much smaller in level and scope than we were fearing. We're now able to move forward
34:00into a ceasefire agreement that will leave the Iranians without a nuclear plan, nuclear capabilities,
34:05and nuclear stockpiles that they've been working so hard to gather. But here's the important part.
34:11The story doesn't end there. Early this morning, myself, as well as everyone else in Israel,
34:16was woken up abruptly by Iranian rockets, a barrage of them, most of which were just randomly fired,
34:21but at least several struck ground and caused damage, one of them killing four people in Beel Sheva,
34:27which is the biggest city in southern Israel. Israeli Minister of Defense Kats immediately said that
34:32this is a clear violation of the ceasefire agreement. And since that attack, there have
34:36been several smaller attacks on Israel, all indicating that the Iranians aren't doing a
34:40really good job of upholding the ceasefire agreement. As the ceasefire is announced, President
34:46Trump warns the Iranians, and he says that any small violation will be answered by an immediate attack
34:52by the B-2 bombers that caused so much damage in Iran just a couple of days ago. But the Iranians did
34:58violate the ceasefire agreement, and they did so more than once, and yet there hasn't been a response.
35:04And as I'm recording this, so just hours before you're watching this, or just a couple hours
35:08before you're watching this, Israeli Air Force pilots allegedly, I'll explain how we get to this
35:13conclusion, went back to Iran to return bombing missions. President Trump takes to social media,
35:18warning Israel, says turn your pilots back, don't drop bombs on Iran, don't blow up, pun intended,
35:25the ceasefire agreement. So once again, while Israel is contemplating and planning the retaliation to
35:32this Iranian violation or blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement, President Trump warns Israel
35:39publicly over social media saying, don't violate the ceasefire agreement, don't drop a bomb on Iran,
35:44because we are trying to uphold this agreement. Now let's talk about what this agreement means.
35:49One, it's historical. There's no question about that. Two, it is very significant in the sense
35:55that in a swift, powerful, decisive move, Israel together with the US brought down the Iranian
36:01regime that has spent hundreds of billions of dollars and decades building a war machine to
36:07destroy Israel. We've proven them to be weak, we've proven them to lack the resolute sense or spirit
36:12that is needed to fight against us, and we've proven that their mechanism, their government,
36:17is not as functioning as we imagine it to be. Their government is corrupt, their military is
36:21inefficient, and they were unable to stop Israel and absolutely not stop the US in a way that was
36:27unpredictable. The Iranians have exposed their underbelly, their vulnerability in a way that is
36:34greater than anyone could have expected. Again, possibly aside from the Israeli Mossad, which,
36:38according to foreign press, has essentially lived within Iran for the last couple of years.
36:44So where do we go from here? First of all, the announcement of the ceasefire agreement
36:47was accepted with great positivity in Israel. The airports open up again, stock markets are doing
36:53well, people are expressing both positivity and also showing an economic uptick around the world
36:59with an expectation of this conflict fizzling out in days to come. But there's a couple of key
37:04components here that have to be upheld. One, we need to make sure that the Iranians uphold the ceasefire
37:09and are upheld to the ceasefire, that they don't get a chance to violate it, not even once. The second
37:15part is, is that now that we've solved, quote unquote, or resolved for now the Iranian issue,
37:21the next thing is we have to deal with the hostage situation in the Gaza Strip. There is no reality
37:26where we can move forward without resolving that. And the third thing is, now is the time to be
37:32detail-oriented, to stick to the small minutia of the agreement, and for the Israelis and the Americans
37:38to make sure the Iranians don't have the ability to once again build a nuclear program. That means
37:44having supervisors on the ground. That means responding with military force to every attack
37:48that takes place. That means not seeking peace, but seeking power and strength, and through that,
37:55peace and a ceasefire agreement with the Iranians. That we've learned is the only path forward. In fact,
38:02all of this ceasefire agreement wouldn't have been possible if Israel wasn't daring enough to attack
38:07the Iranians on the night of June the 13th. To do so in a bold way, in a way that took a lot of risk
38:13into calculation and brought down many targets around Iran in a manner that was both impressive
38:19and showed the depth of our intelligence, our knowledge, the military power that was built into
38:25creating the solution for the Iranian problem. I feel like everyone around the world should sigh
38:30with a sigh of relief today, knowing that one big enemy is at least less dangerous this night than it
38:36was yesterday. Now back to you El Pinto. So thank you very much, Mati, for all the important details
38:44that you give us. Dear guys, I'd also be happy to hear in the comments what you think about the
38:50United States Administration's decision for a ceasefire with Iran. We will keep spreading the truth,
38:56so share and follow us and most importantly hit that subscribe button so that you stay tuned to the
39:02truth and never miss another episode of Boots on the Ground. Before we conclude today's report,
39:08let's take a look at the war front that so many forgot about over the past two weeks except those
39:14who were fighting on it and their families and their friends. I'm talking of course about the war in the
39:21Gaza Strip, where Operation Gideon's Chariots to defeat the Hamas terrorist organization didn't take
39:27any breaks while Operation Rising Lion was demolishing Iran's renegade nuclear program.
39:34Less than two months after the start of Operation Gideon's Chariots in the Gaza Strip, the IDF has
39:40already taken control of about 70 to 75 percent of the Gaza Strip's territory and this is according to
39:47a report in the Israel Hayom news portal. The forces are now continuing to clear the area to destroy
39:54tunnels and deal with pockets of resistance of terrorists. And according to senior IDF officers,
40:01although four soldiers were killed in action last week, there are few combat incidents in the Gaza Strip
40:08and Hamas is mainly trying to harass the forces while the troops' actions are highly effective.
40:14The IDF believes that Hamas's capabilities have been severely damaged and the amount of weaponry it
40:21possesses is limited. It is finding it difficult to smuggle in additional arms and almost is unable to
40:29recruit operatives because it struggles to pay the salaries and even those it does recruit it is
40:35finding hard to train. So the IDF further believes that Hamas's fear of a popular uprising by the Gazan
40:42public against it is real and even now there are more demonstrations against the terrorist organization
40:49and several armed gangs are rising up to fight it. Now it will be clear to everybody that Iran is not
40:57able to send Hamas any more help so they're on their own to try and deal with this situation as best they
41:04can. At the same time, as we saw this week as well, the IDF continues to make great efforts to return
41:11hostages to Israeli territory and makes clear that this is the IDF's mission. And during intense
41:18operational activity carried out last week, combat teams of the 401st Brigade operating under
41:25division 162 focused on operations in the area of the village of Jabalia in the northern parts of the
41:32Gaza Strip. As part of the operation, engineering battalion fighters working closely with the brigade
41:40conducted through sweeps investigated and destroyed a large number of underground routes. These tunnels were
41:47used by Hamas terrorists for various purposes including hiding, moving fighters and weapons,
41:55and even prolonged stays. But they won't be doing that any longer. The destruction of the underground
42:01routes, whose total length exceeded 2.5 kilometers, constitutes a significant blow to Hamas's terror
42:10infrastructure in the Jabalia area and helps neutralize the organization's operational and offensive
42:16capabilities. Here at TBN Israel, we will continue to update you with all the truth about what is
42:23happening in Israel. So keep spreading the truth, share and follow us. And most importantly, pray.
42:30Pray for our hostages who are still held in the hands of Hamas's terrible terrorists in Gaza. Keep
42:37praying that they return home quickly. Pray for the IDF soldiers wherever they are, if they're in the air,
42:44at sea or on land. Pray for the peace of the people of Israel. And above all, do not forget to pray for the
42:50peace of Jerusalem.
