IDF destroys Hamas terror infrastructure sites across Gaza
The IDF destroyed Hamas terror infrastructure sites across the Gaza Strip overnight between Saturday and Sunday, the military said on Sunday afternoon.
Infrastructure targeted in the strikes included weapons storage and production sites, as well as a rocket launch site, which the military noted was intended to be used against IDF soldiers and Israeli civilians.

IDF has killed at least around 420 Gazan terrorists since Oct. 2025 ceasefire, 'Post' learns
At least half of the Gazans killed in the past nine months are likely combatants.
The IDF has killed at least around 420 Gazan terrorists since the October 2025 ceasefire, The Jerusalem Post has learned.
Given that Hamas reportedly has killed dozens or more of its own population since the ceasefire in order to retake control of all areas of the Gaza Strip where the Palestinian population lives and given UN estimates of around 1,000 Gazans killed, this means that at least since the ceasefire, the percentage of Gazans killed by the IDF has likely been less than 50% civilians.
This is not necessarily true for the entire war.

Hezbollah ‘hinting’ at escalation against Lebanese army but still undecided, expert tells 'Post'
Initial reports published in Lebanon theorized that the blast had been an Israeli airstrike.
Hezbollah’s attack on the Lebanese Army in Mansouri over the weekend was the terror group’s way of “hinting” that it would escalate if threatened, Eyal Zisser, Vice-Rector at Tel Aviv University and an expert in Hezbollah’s political strategy, told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday.
Lebanon’s Sgt. Maj. Ahmad Sami Khalil, from the village of Froun in the Bint Jbeil district, was killed on Saturday when a suspicious object exploded in an army vehicle, wounding an additional soldier and officer in the blast.
Located only a few kilometers north of the Yellow Line, initial reports published in Lebanon theorized that the blast had been an Israeli airstrike, a theory largely based on Israel’s targeting of Hezbollah infrastructure in the days leading up to the attack.

Iron Dome shoots down Iranian missile fragments fired at Jordan
Minutes before the interception, the IDF issued a warning to southern areas near the border.
The IDF's Iron Dome was used on Sunday afternoon to shoot down fragments of an Iranian ballistic missile fired at Jordan near the border with Israel after the US Aegis anti-missile system had already been used to shoot down the primary missile warhead.
This is the first time that Iron Dome has been used against an Iranian aerial threat since the April 7 ceasefire, which included Israel, kicked in.

Jordan has not ordered evacuation of Aqaba airport or seaport, gov't spokesperson says
Over the last week, Jordan has repeatedly said that it has intercepted Iranian missiles.
Jordanian authorities have not issued any decision to evacuate the airport or seaport in Aqaba on Sunday, the government's spokesperson told Reuters, after the US embassy in Amman said they had been evacuated due to a credible threat.
"No potential threats have been recorded by the relevant Jordanian authorities in the past few hours," government spokesperson Mohammad Al-Momani told Reuters in a written statement. "The airport and port are operating normally."

Iran targets Kuwaiti infrastructure to send 'calibrated signal' to US following direct strikes
The attacks, which also saw Bahrain, Jordan and Saudi Arabia targeted, carried through onto Sunday.
Critical infrastructure in Kuwait was a “relatively attractive target” for Iran as it sought to escalate without risking a larger response from its Gulf neighbors, international relations expert Dr. Arman Mahmoudian, a research fellow at the University of South Florida’s Global and National Security Institute, explained to The Jerusalem Post on Sunday.
Over the weekend, Iranian attacks caused significant damage at a power generation plant, a water desalination plant and several residential areas in Kuwait. Kuwait Petroleum Corporation also confirmed on Saturday that one of its oil facilities was hit by "repeated Iranian attacks," resulting in significant material damage and some injuries.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed the attacks had been on a US military support center at Kuwait's Camp Arifjan, and alleged it had destroyed a radar facility at Ali Al Salem Air Base.

American refueling tankers to be stationed in IDF bases, Ramon Airport as US reinforces Middle East
This is in addition to dozens of aerial refueling aircraft that support operations against Iran.
As the hours pass and more American forces arrive in the Middle East, coordination between the IDF and US military will naturally tighten, “with the goal of shortening the time it takes to move from routine to emergency readiness,” a senior security official said on Sunday.
Another senior security official, who is familiar with the details of the talks with the US Department of Defense, said that at this stage, dozens of American refueling aircraft will be deployed across IDF bases and the Ramon Airport in southern Israel.
If the Americans intensify the strikes and expand the operational posture against Iran in a way that would require the transfer of an additional force package of refueling aircraft, they may land at Ben-Gurion Airport despite the agreement reached so far between the two nations.

Iranian strikes cause fire at Kuwaiti power, water desalination plant for second time
A fire broke out at a Kuwaiti power and desalination plant for the second time in two days as Iranian attacks continue, Kuwait’s Ministry of Electricity and Water announced on Sunday.
The ministry stated that many of the facility's electric generators were affected by the fire, but noted that local firefighters have brought the fire under control and are working to extinguish it.

US strikes hit southern Iran as IRGC reports Strait of Hormuz vessel 'accidents' amid tensions
During the strikes overnight on Saturday into the early hours of Sunday, explosions were heard in Bandar Abbas and Qeshm Island, Iranian state-affiliated media reported.
US warplanes reportedly struck near the city of Shadagan in southern Iran on Sunday, state TV reported.
Earlier on Sunday, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said that it had completed its eighth consecutive night of strikes against Iran and hit Iranian military coastal surveillance and air defense facilities.
It also targeted the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces that launched attacks against US service members in Jordan on Friday.

Unknown U.S. Navy drone boat spotted leaving Virginia base under escort
Modified date: Jul 19, 2026
Key Points
An unidentified uncrewed surface vessel was photographed under Navy security escort leaving Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek in Virginia Beach.
The open-source account Aviation and Naval Assets identified a marine radar, camera turret, mesh antennas, and possible dual synthetic aperture antennas on the vessel.
A U.S. Navy security boat escorted an unfamiliar uncrewed vessel out of Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek, and the open-source account Aviation and Naval Assets shared photos and video of a boat that does not match any publicly known U.S. Navy drone design currently in service.
The account, which tracks military aviation and naval hardware sightings, posted the images showing the vessel under armed escort as it left the Virginia Beach base, home to the Navy’s Atlantic Fleet amphibious forces and a major hub for Naval Special Warfare training.
Based on the published imagery, the unidentified craft appears to carry a marine radar consistent with commercial Simrad-brand systems, the kind widely used on both civilian and military vessels for basic navigation and collision detection, alongside a rotating sensor turret combining daylight and thermal imaging cameras that would let an operator track targets or obstacles in darkness or poor visibility. Aviation and Naval Assets also identified mesh networking antennas on the hull, a type of communications system that lets multiple vessels or vehicles relay data to each other without needing a single centralized signal tower, a setup increasingly common on unmanned platforms designed to operate as part of a coordinated group rather than in isolation.
What sets this sighting apart from a routine unmanned boat spotting is a detail Aviation and Naval Assets flagged specifically in its post describing the vessel’s onboard sensors.
“Has synthetic aperture antenna on back (x2) and some type of collision avoidance sensors/mm radar or something on front,” the account wrote.
1/2
A synthetic aperture radar system works by combining multiple radar readings taken as a vessel or aircraft moves, mathematically reconstructing them into a far more detailed image than a single stationary radar antenna could ever produce, a technique commonly used for high-resolution surface mapping, target identification, and detecting objects that might otherwise blend into background clutter. Mounting two of these antennas on the rear of an uncrewed surface vessel, if accurately identified, would suggest a platform built for serious surveillance or reconnaissance work rather than a simple test boat, though the exact function and manufacturer behind this specific unit remain unconfirmed based on the publicly available imagery alone. The unidentified front-mounted sensors described as possible millimeter-wave radar or collision avoidance equipment would serve a more mundane but equally important purpose, helping the vessel detect and avoid other boats, buoys, or debris while operating without anyone physically at the helm.
The drone also has a landing platform or deployment structure toward the rear of the vessel, a feature that, if confirmed, could indicate the boat is designed to launch and recover a secondary payload, such as a smaller drone, an inspection tool, or specialized mission equipment, though the source material does not provide enough detail to say definitively what that structure is built to carry or deploy.
None of these specific design details have been confirmed by the Navy, and no official statement has identified the vessel by name, program, or manufacturer.
That silence is not unusual for early-stage unmanned surface vessel prototypes, which the Navy has increasingly tested under limited public disclosure as competition among contractors intensifies.
The service’s Medium Unmanned Surface Vessel program selected seven companies in late May to build prototype vessels for at-sea testing, with trials beginning in June and wrapping up by October 2026, according to USNI News, and the Navy has said companies whose designs pass those trials could see follow-on production contracts, with a goal of fielding five to ten operational vessels by fiscal year 2027. Whether the boat spotted at Little Creek belongs to that specific program, a separate special operations-focused effort, or an entirely different initiative remains unclear from the available imagery, and the base’s role as a center for amphibious and special warfare operations makes it a plausible testing ground for several different categories of unmanned maritime systems rather than a strong indicator pointing toward any single program.
The broader push toward unmanned surface vessels has accelerated sharply across the Navy over the past two years, driven partly by demonstrations like the Saildrone Surveyor’s expanded role at this year’s RIMPAC exercise and partly by a wider recognition that autonomous boats can gather sensor data, conduct surveillance, and support fleet operations at a fraction of the cost of crewed vessels. Textron’s TSUNAMI USV family has already seen operational testing in counter-narcotics missions in the Caribbean, and rival navies have moved in parallel, with China publicly testing a swarm of autonomous L30 unmanned surface vessels off Zhuhai in March, underscoring how quickly this category of naval technology is proliferating across multiple militaries at once.

Tiny drone hits invisible mode by twisting faster than eye can detect
July 17, 2026
Engineers at Northwestern University have built a drone that vanishes without camouflage or transparent panels.
Its trick is spinning so fast that your eyes simply give up trying to focus, a stealth edge that could turn surveillance into something almost invisible.
The aircraft, nicknamed Phantom Twist, rotates up to 25 times per second, a rate that outpaces how quickly our visual system can process sharp detail. Instead of true invisibility, the drone dissolves into a faint, ghostly blur that blends into whatever is behind it.
The work, led by associate professor Michael Rubenstein, was presented on July 16 at the Robotics: Science and Systems 2026 conference in Sydney, Australia, under the title Computational Design of a Low-Visibility UAV Using Human-Aligned Perceptual Metric.
"Most efforts to hide drones focus on making them look like their surroundings," says Rubenstein.
"Instead, we asked whether we could design the drone itself around the way humans perceive motion. This idea of low visibility through persistent motion is something few people have explored."
That distinction matters because drones are increasingly used to watch wildlife, check aging infrastructure, or survey wetlands, but their mere presence changes the behavior of whatever they're observing.
Birds scatter, animals flee, people act differently. A drone that's hard to spot could do the same job without that side effect.
Prior attempts at motion-based concealment offer useful context here.
The Northwestern paper points to an earlier project nicknamed the Boomerang Drone, covered in a 2006 New York Times Magazine piece, which tried a similar high-speed rotation trick but couldn't spin fast enough to fully exploit the blur effect, leaving it largely visible.
The paper authors also trace the broader idea of active concealment back to the "Yehudi light," a counter-illumination project developed by the National Defense Research Committee in 1944 to hide Allied sea-search aircraft from enemy view.
The Phantom Twist itself takes a very different shape from those earlier attempts.
Rather than a typical quadcopter with four separate rotors, it runs on a single motor and a single propeller, with the propeller spinning one way while the rest of the drone's body spins the opposite way.
"For a typical quadrotor drone, the propellers are spinning, but the robot is stationary," Rubenstein explains. "So, you still see its body. For our drone, the whole thing is rotating, so there are no stationary parts."
To reach that layout, the team's computer model generated roughly 20,000 possible drone configurations capable of stable flight, then used artificial intelligence and optimization algorithms to repeatedly rearrange the motor, propeller, circuit board, counterweight, and batteries.
Each design was simulated spinning mid-flight and overlaid on 100 real-world backgrounds, then scored by a perceptual model built to mimic human vision, where a lower score meant better camouflage.
The 500 best-scoring designs were run through the optimizer again to squeeze out further gains before a final version was built.
Emma Alexander, an assistant professor of computer science and one of the study's co-authors, explains the underlying physics. "The human eye takes time to accumulate signals, roughly analogous to the exposure time of a camera," she says.
"When an object spins quickly, we perceive it as blurring out and losing distinct features. Because this new drone is almost entirely transparent, its few opaque components are visually averaged with the background for an overall appearance of a slight haze."
According to the paper's visibility metric, the finished drone is about 10 times harder to spot than a standard quadcopter.
But the spinning trick has real limits that make this drone far from being completely unnoticeable.
The propeller still makes an audible whir that gives the drone away even when the eye can't, and its support wires and rods remain partly visible.
The paper's authors suggest future versions could lean on more transparent materials and quieter propulsion, edging the drone ever closer to true – and somewhat scary – invisibility.
After all, the same trick making a drone less impactful on wildlife could just as easily help it sneak around for reasons that aren't so friendly.

Mystery lights over Okinawa spark UFO speculation as experts point to atmospheric causes
8:10 PM Sun July 19, 2026
Residents in Nanjo City, Okinawa, have been left intrigued after a mysterious luminous object was seen hovering above the sea on the evening of 6th July.
The unusual sighting, which lasted for approximately 20 minutes, prompted speculation online about the possibility of a UFO, although specialists have indicated that natural atmospheric phenomena or aircraft activity are more likely explanations.
The glowing object was first noticed at around 7.30pm in the eastern sky off Hyakuna Beach in Tamagusuku.
A 53-year-old self-employed local man, who had been at the shoreline intending to film the scenery, said he instead observed a bright light that appeared to split into two separate points before aligning side by side and then parting again while moving in the same direction.
He recorded the scene after becoming suspicious of the object’s behaviour.
According to the witness, the light did not appear to travel a significant distance but gradually intensified in brightness, giving the impression that it was burning above the horizon.
From his vantage point, the object seemed closer than Kudaka Island, located roughly five kilometres to the south-east. He admitted that he briefly wondered whether the phenomenon might be linked to an авиаtion incident.
A former director of the Ishigaki Island Astronomical Observatory said there were no particularly bright stars visible in that part of the sky at the time.
He suggested that thin haze in the atmosphere could have caused light to scatter, making the object appear more dramatic than it was. He also noted that helicopter training or rescue operations might produce similar visual effects.
However, Japan’s 11th Regional Coast Guard Headquarters stated that it had no information indicating aircraft activity in the vicinity of Nanjo City at the relevant time.

Loeb to Newsmax: Many UAPs Have Conventional Explanations
Saturday, 18 July 2026 04:57 PM EDT
Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb said Saturday that some of the unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP, featured in a newly released government file dump likely have ordinary explanations, while others warrant further investigation because of their potential implications for national security and science.
Speaking on Newsmax TV's "Saturday Agenda," Loeb cautioned against assuming that every object shown in the released materials represents unexplained technology.
"Some of these are natural events," Loeb said.
He pointed to a widely circulated video of a star-shaped object, saying its appearance was likely caused by the camera rather than the object itself.
"The star-shaped object that you showed — that's a result of a diffraction pattern in the camera that is taking the image," he said.
Loeb added that some of the orb-like objects included in the files could also have conventional explanations, such as laser spots created by human technology or ball lightning, a rare atmospheric electrical phenomenon.
"There are also some of the orbs that may be a result of laser spots … or a result of ball lightning," he said.
Loeb said the challenge is distinguishing explainable events from those that remain genuinely anomalous.
"We are trying to separate the wheat from the chaff and advise the government how to get more information that will get to the bottom of it," he said.
He said a careful analysis of the government's UAP data could benefit both national security and scientific research.
According to Loeb, the two central questions are whether the objects represent potential security concerns and whether they could provide evidence that humanity is not alone in the universe.
"There are two subjects that are of importance to the American people," Loeb said. "That's national security, as well as, are we alone in the universe? Do we have a neighbor in our cosmic environment?"
Loeb said analyzing government data on anomalous objects could help answer both questions.
He also said officials within the Pentagon and U.S. intelligence agencies remain uncertain about some of the reported phenomena.
"Frankly, the Pentagon, as well as the intelligence agencies, are puzzled about the properties of these objects," he said.
Loeb said the advisory effort he is involved with aims to examine the evidence methodically.
"My council will try to figure out, like in a detective story, what it's all about," he said.
He credited President Donald Trump's directive to review UAP records and declassify information that does not affect national security with making more material available for analysis.
Loeb emphasized that the newly released records represent "a mixed bag," with some cases likely explainable and others requiring additional investigation.

Famed UFO insider issues chilling claim about the next phase of disclosure: 'A new chapter for humanity'
11:26 EDT, 19 July 2026 | Updated: 11:26 EDT, 19 July 2026
The Trump administration is deliberately releasing only 'minor' UFO files while withholding far more significant evidence, according to one of the most prominent figures in the disclosure movement.
Dr Steven Greer, founder of The Disclosure Project and the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence, told the Daily Mail he believes officials possess far more consequential material but have been advised to reveal it slowly as part of what he described as an 'acculturation process.'
'My understanding is that they've been advised to go slow on it, and to only release fairly much inconsequential material,' Greer said. 'I don't agree with that strategy.'
Greer, who has spent more than three decades encouraging military, intelligence and corporate insiders to come forward with information about unidentified aerial phenomena, argued the current releases are only the beginning of a much larger disclosure effort.
He believes the strategy is backfiring because the public expected far more than the three recent tranches of documents released by the administration.
'I think they're trying to do a slow roll,' he said. 'I think it's eroding trust in government.'
Despite his criticism of the rollout, Greer believes genuine disclosure could fundamentally reshape humanity's future by revealing technologies capable of solving some of the world's biggest challenges.
'I think it's a message of great hope,' he said. 'If it's handled properly, it would start a whole new chapter in human civilization.'
The Trump administration has released four tranches of UFO files since May 8, months after President Donald Trump ordered Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to declassify government records related to UFOs and alleged extraterrestrial activity.
The releases included striking images and transcripts linked to NASA's Apollo 12 and Apollo 17 missions.
One photo taken from the lunar surface appears to show three unexplained dots hovering in the dark sky above the moon.
Another document summarized statements from seven federal officers assigned to different teams who independently reported witnessing multiple unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) across the western US over two days in 2023.
Never-before-seen FBI and CIA reports detailing witness accounts have also been included, but Greer argued the material released so far represents only a fraction of what exists inside classified government programs.
He said he has spent decades collecting testimony from military personnel, intelligence officials and government insiders, building an archive that he believes contains far more consequential evidence than anything released publicly by the administration.
'The archive we have, it's 36 years of accumulated evidence and whistleblower testimony and videos and photos and documents and government documents from all over the world, is vastly more consequential than what they released in these last four tranches,' Greer said.
'We're trying to make sure that the public and also the political leaders have access to more material than they're seeing through these Department of War and White House releases to date.''
Greer said he believes additional records will eventually be made public, but suspects the administration intends to spread the disclosures over several years.
I think more will be coming,' he said. 'I think they're trying to do a slow roll, stretching out towards the end of the Trump administration.
One of Greer's biggest criticisms centers on what he believes is a misunderstanding of the objects appearing in many recent government disclosures.
He argued that not every craft documented in classified files is extraterrestrial, claiming some are advanced aircraft developed in secret by the US defense industry using technologies hidden from the public for decades.
'Since the late 1950s, we have mastered what's called electro-gravitic systems, which pop culture would call anti-gravity,' Greer said.
In reality, the majority of the UFOs seen are coming from the Lockheed Skunk Works, and Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon, and a few other prime contractors.
1/2
Greer stressed that he believes genuinely unexplained cases also exist, but said they have become intertwined with classified military projects.
'There are ones that are nonhuman, no question,' he said. 'But there's also this other whole phenomenon that's actually man-made.'
He further claimed that some of those alleged man-made programs have been used in illegal operations beyond the oversight of elected officials.
'The man-made objects have been used in clandestine and many criminal enterprises,' Greer said. 'I can confirm that senior law enforcement in the United States have open criminal investigations into this.'
Greer, a retired emergency physician, said he believes the disclosure movement has reached a pivotal moment, but argued powerful interests continue to resist broader transparency.
Those concerns have intensified following the creation of a new White House advisory group examining UFO-related issues.
Greer alleged that some of the individuals involved have ties to organizations he believes have spent decades keeping information hidden from both the public and elected officials.
'I think it's a five-alarm fire,' he said. 'There are some very questionable characters who have been put on a White House advisory council for this.'
He also criticized the appointment of former Pentagon UFO investigator Lue Elizondo to a National Security Council role.
'The worst thing I've seen in 36 years of trying to resolve this problem has happened in the last 30 days,' Greer said, claiming several recent appointments have strengthened the influence of people connected to past secrecy efforts.
According to Greer, one of the biggest misconceptions surrounding UFO disclosure is the belief that presidents, cabinet officials and senior military leaders automatically have access to every classified program.
'Part of these problems is that they're all very, very new to the subject,' he said.
'I think the public makes the mistake of thinking, 'Well, you're the President or you're the Secretary of War, and you have full knowledge of this.'
That is not how this has been operating.
Greer claimed that alleged UFO-related programs have operated for decades outside normal government oversight, leaving even senior officials unaware of their existence.
'For the most part, oversight has not happened for quite some decades properly,' he said. 'The public expects these high officials to have full access to these files and information, when in reality they pretty much had to start at zero.'
Despite his criticism of the administration's approach, Greer said he believes disclosure is accelerating because more insiders are becoming willing to come forward.
He said his organization recently launched a worldwide appeal encouraging people working inside covert aerospace programs to disclose evidence they believe has been hidden from Congress and the public.
'We're encouraging them to defect with this positive proof of operations that have been run illegally,' Greer said.
Greer said he is also encouraged by conversations he has had with lawmakers serving on congressional oversight committees.
'They feel like this is sort of a slow roll, and they hope… they tell me they expect more,' he said.
While he acknowledged that many of his claims remain controversial, Greer maintained that disclosure is inevitable and argued that it has the potential to fundamentally change humanity's understanding of its place in the universe.
'If this is released properly, it's going to be quite clear to the public that we, humans, have figured out very advanced energy and propulsion systems that would absolutely replace the need for oil or gas,' he said.

🚨 Civilian Saucer Investigation Quarterly Review, Vol. 1, No. 1, September 1952.
This is the very first issue published by Civilian Saucer Investigation of Los Angeles, one of the earliest organized civilian UFO research groups in the United States.
CSI was formed in late 1951 by engineers, technical writers and researchers who wanted to collect and evaluate sighting reports.
After the group was mentioned in major publications including LIFE, TIME and TRUE, reports began arriving at its Los Angeles post office box from around the world.
This eight-page first issue summarizes CSI’s first 220 sighting reports and was released during the massive UFO wave of 1952.
It covers the Washington, D.C. radar incidents, reports from around the world, ring-shaped objects, the Seattle fireball, historical sightings, the famous Brazilian O Cruzeiro photographs and reports of smaller objects apparently separating from a larger “mother ship.”
What really stands out is how skeptical CSI could be. In “To the Man with the Pickle Jar,” president Ed Sullivan challenged stories about recovered saucers, mysterious metals and preserved alien bodies because nobody had produced concrete evidence.
The same issue also examined weather balloons and questioned the authenticity of the O Cruzeiro photographs.
CSI described itself as an independent, nonprofit fact-finding organization that was not committed to proving or disproving any theory. Reports considered especially significant were copied and forwarded to the Air Intelligence Center in Dayton for further analysis.
The final page identifies this as the first issue, lists the original price as 50 cents and still has the mailing panel and canceled 2-cent stamp attached.
An incredible surviving piece from the earliest years of organized civilian UFO research.
