A conflict that started on a tiny perimeter of land on Oct. 7 is, less than four months later, reverberating throughout the region, from Turkey in the north to Morocco in the west, Iran in the east and Yemen in the south. “This is an incredibly volatile time in the Middle East,” U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday at a press conference. “I would argue that we’ve not seen a situation as dangerous as the one we’re facing now across the region since at least 1973, and arguably even before that.” The epicenter of the Israel-Hamas conflict remains…

Israeli police and IDF troops have thwarted a large-scale attempt to smuggle 137 firearms into Israel from Jordan, marking the largest weapons bust ever on the Jordanian border. The successful operation was the culmination of months of surveillance by the police’s Magen anti-smuggling unit, which had been tracking a gun smuggling ring responsible for numerous attempts to transport weapons into Israel from Jordan. The breakthrough occurred last Thursday when members of the Magen unit, positioned near the southern town of Tzofar, detected an effort by the ring to move weapons across the border. Troops were dispatched to intercept a vehicle…
