ALBAWABA- In a significant security breach, unknown individuals stormed the Israeli army's "906th Base" in the Negev, stealing 18 containers filled with military equipment, including ammunition, protective vests, vision devices, and other specialized gear.
The suspects fled the scene with the stolen equipment.
The incident occurred as Israel prepares for a potential all-out conflict with Lebanon, with tensions escalating dramatically on the northern front.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to take decisive action to secure the return of Israeli settlers displaced since October 8 and warned of intolerable conditions if the situation persists.
In response, the Israeli army has deployed more Iron Dome systems to the north.
Additionally, the Israeli Broadcasting Authority reports that Gideon Sa'ar will replace Yoav Galant as Minister of Defense, a move described by the US as "crazy."
This decision further deepens internal divisions within Israel and raises concerns of a broader regional conflict, particularly as Hezbollah threatens to engage in a full-scale war without limitations if Israel invades Lebanon.
