[95591] Security and Diplomatic Agenda: Tensions in Eilat, Shooting Incident in Montreal, and Iran Talks

Security and Regional Tensions on June 22, 2026

In the security arena, Amit Segal reports on warnings issued by the head of the Shin Bet, Zini, in closed discussions that "the next October 7 will be in Eilat." According to the report, Zini ordered that a scenario of a ground invasion of the city via land or sea borders be made a top priority. In response, the Shin Bet stated that this was a routine tour as part of threat assessment and that "there is no concrete information or warning."

On the northern front, the IDF continues its operational activities. The IDF Spokesperson confirmed that two senior Hamas terrorists were eliminated in the Gaza Strip, including the engineering officer of the West Jabalia battalion and the commander of the Gazan sniper array, who had promoted terror plots against our forces. Simultaneously, Defense Minister Katz provided an update on the recognition of nine additional settlements in the north as confrontation line settlements.

In the international arena, Israel News | Without Censorship reports extensively on a deadly shooting incident in Montreal, Canada, near a Chabad house, where Michael Moshe Mizrahi, of blessed memory, was killed accidentally by police fire during the incident. The Jewish community is monitoring events closely, while the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs is involved in supporting the community.

On the diplomatic front, the talks between Iran and the US in Switzerland continue to agitate the system. While the Iranian Foreign Ministry claims that no new commitments on the nuclear issue have been received, other sources in Israel News Without Censorship report on a temporary 60-day lifting of sanctions on the sale of Iranian oil. Amit Segal expresses criticism of the contacts, claiming that "Trump made a grave mistake in the contacts with Iran."

In addition, an internal political storm was recorded around statements by Yair Golan and Bennett regarding a future government, as Bezalel Smotrich warns against the evacuation of settlements and the establishment of a "terror state" in Judea and Samaria, claims that gained wide resonance on right-wing Telegram channels.
