I believe Tisha B'Av is also the day Edward selected for expelling the Jews from England, for similar symbolic reasons.Looks like the staff at the Jerusalem Post may have some decent sources.
This was their original take:

Iran plans to attack Israel on Tisha B’Av, the Jewish day of disaster - report
Iran reportedly plans to attack Israel on the day of Tisha B'Av, when Jews mourn the loss of the first and second Temples.m.jpost.com
Here's the most their recent evaluation:

Israeli intel believes Iran will attack directly within days
This represents a shift from recent assessments, which suggested that international pressure was restraining Iran from launching a direct attack against Israel.m.jpost.com
That's basically a near confirmation of their own analysis so who knows if it's accurate but they present a convincing case even if they're just guessing...
Gen Jack Keane said the CENTCOM commander made this suggestion and was turned down.…
The commercial shipping looks like a Houthi win (thus far) given … Gen Jack Keane thinks the sources of these attacks need to be eliminated. I think the Iranian frigates need to be invited to leave … regardless.

Now this is as funny as it is diabolical:

Massive cyberattack rocks Central Bank of Iran, computer system paralyzed - report
According to reports, all the computer systems of the banks in Iran were paralyzed following the cyber attack.m.jpost.com
Was it us or was it Elon?
Mine was showing a rocket launch from a populated area in Gaza.
I saw the hacking story too…
Why would you assume it was anyone other than Israel? It’s a leader in tech and cybersecurity.
"The evening call instructed the Hezbollah commander to go up to the seventh floor of his building, with an Israel missile slamming into the complex at around 7 p.m., killing him, his family and injuring 70 others, according to Lebanon’s health ministry."![]()

Girlfriend, sheep holder, or a number from Teheran that he couldn't ignore...?
Back in the good old days of IT, we always advised clients to have a backup system that didn't rely on computers - paper and pencil, baby. Saved a lot of down time when the system was down.This is a concern:

Israeli Expert Says Hezbollah ‘EMP Bomb’ is Not New, But Might Be Used
"This is a strategic weapon because once you fire it, you shut down all the systems like radar and communications, and then you can do what you want."www.jewishpress.com
I always thought that the EMP threat needed nuclear tech to operate... Having read a little more about it (including one article that had so much technical detail that it probably shouldn't be publicly presented online) it appears to have become "the poor man's nuke" ...
Makes one wonder (with our relatively open borders) how many might be prepositioned here already???
While a nuke would still be necessary to instantaneously knock out huge areas, these smaller non-nuclear versions delivered or prepositioned near critical infrastructure could make a real mix of both short and long term problems for anything relying on current electronic technology...
Scary stuff and a good reason to never completely rely on technology alone and have a backup plan to the backup plan...

Eh, I wouldn't worry about it. The FBI isn't. They'd rather try to infiltrate right wing gun clubs or Catholic Bingo sessions.I used to hang with an Air Force Security guy who (whenever we were discussing what Iran and North Korea could actually do to CONUS) would always dismiss everything else and go straight to EMP's... I always sorta dismissed that while believing it would take a nuke to properly initiate one...
Turns out I was very wrong and gives (me at least) a new sense of urgency to taking down balloons before they cross over land...
Wouldn't surprise me a bit if some of our serious adversaries haven't pre-positioned some of these types of non-nuclear devices on mountainsides near military bases and major cities ((that are near mountains)) to be initiated remotely, or by operatives living nearby...
If you only need an altitude of a 1,000 m (3281 ft) to get one to operate at maximum effect then even releasing one from a light civilian aircraft might suffice...
Concerning stuff...

Oct. 7 mastermind and Hamas leader Yaya Sinwar reportedly adds new demand for cease-fire deal: Don’t kill me
Hamas chief and Oct. 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar, who previously claimed that it would be an honor to die fighting Israel, has made his own survival a condition of any cease-fire in Gaza, according t…nypost.com
Classic Chickenshit Islamist... (at least they're consistent),
Feels free to send people to murder indiscriminately, triggering a war that he knew was certain to destroy 3/4's of Gaza (along with thousands of Gazans) but he wants to try to make certain he won't be targeted...
A scumbag and a Pussy...
If we had anyone in charge with any balls we'd find a way to track him down and publicly hang him...
I'm skeptical that's accurate, but if it is, Israel should jump on it. Killing Hamas leaders only creates more Hamas leaders. Exposing the leader as a coward might do something killing them has never accomplished.Different topic but one you can only shake your head and grimly laugh at...:

Seriously? In a thread that consistently demonstrates Israel's ability to do whatever the **** they want whenever the **** they want to whomever the **** they want to do it to, you are worried that they are somehow hamstrung?![]()
Hezbollah ready to launch huge attack on Israel after building tunnels
HEZBOLLAH is ready to launch a huge attack on Israel after a decade of evil plotting and building a miles-long tunnel network, experts have warned. Analysts monitoring years of military activity in…www.the-sun.com
The Israelis have a verifiable problem here and if we've denied them the type of bombs that might be able to penetrate these areas for massing and mobilizing prior to an attack, then we shouldn't be surprised when someday they feel threatened enough to use some of their nukes on them...
It's not like they have any friends left at the UN or on the rest of the world stage that they need be concerned about offending... If Harris wins we become an even more unreliable friend, at best... By seemingly attempting to rein them in and punish them, we may inadvertently push them into a corner that triggers a full response by them against both Iran and Lebanon...
Dangerous times...
They spent all their time yapping and got the majority of their response destroyed on the ground.
