A new report from Kan News indicates that the terrorists entrenched inside Rafah’s tunnel network are not acting on their own, but are maintaining steady contact with Hamas’ top military leadership, contradicting the group’s public claims.
According to a Palestinian Arab source cited in the report, the messaging coming from Hamas since the IDF positioned itself along the so-called “yellow line” has been misleading. Hamas has repeatedly insisted that the gunmen in Rafah are running their own operations without direction from the organization’s central command.
Kan News, however, emphasized that the opposite is true: every one of the terror squads bunkered in Rafah’s underground passages remains tied into Hamas’ senior chain of command. The outlet reported that this link was enabled after Hamas’ military brigades shifted their layout in response to the IDF’s establishment of a permanent line in the area.
With these adjustments, the Northern Gaza Brigade continues to operate out of Gaza City, while oversight of Rafah’s terrorist network now comes from Khan Yunis. The Rafah cells, the report explained, are receiving direct instructions from the brigade based in Khan Yunis, which in turn answers to the overarching leadership of Hamas’ military wing.
Even as this command structure remains intact, violence in Rafah persists. On Wednesday, three terrorists surfaced from a tunnel entrance and ambushed an IDF force, leaving one soldier in serious condition and injuring four more lightly or moderately. The unit fired back, killing two of the attackers. A helicopter later struck compounds nearby where the third terrorist, who escaped during the clash, was believed to be hiding.

It’s midnight in the holy city of Yerushalayim, and a group of exalted and illustrious mekubalim stream in, one by one, into the Beis Medrash overlooking the Makom HaMikdash—the site of our destroyed Beis HaMikdash—where they will spend the night immersed in holiness.
Each and every one of these carefully selected Yidden has already spent years in the study of the Zohar and the writings of the Arizal and his talmidim. Their faces radiate holiness and holy purpose, and they exude humility and piety.
They are the Avreichim of Kollel Kabbalah B’Chatzos—a project of Torah-24 which is founded and led by HaGaon Rav Avrohom Eisen, shlit”a, Pozna Rov, a confidant of gedolei Yisroel.
The night begins at midnight, when the avreichim tearfully and mournfully recite Tikkun Chatzos, along with other tefillos, lamenting what has been lost, and storming the Heavens for its restoration.
Following this, they will delve into the deepest secrets of the hidden Torah—until the sun comes up over Yerushalayim. For the entire night, hour after hour, they chase sleep away, and remain immersed into the Kabbalah that has been handed down to us by the most exalted tzaddikim that Klal Yisroel possessed.
Gedolei Yisroel who have become aware of the Kollel Kabbalah B’Chatzos phenomenon have expressed awe and admiration for these illustrious men.
Hagaon HaMekubal Rav Abish Zenwirth, who has attested that he knows these men up close, has attested that “they are humble tzaddikim who prepare themselves for their holy nights by immersing in the mikveh, and study the secrets of Torah all night amid ahavas Hashem and deep fear of Heaven.”
In his letter of endorsement for Kollel Kabbalah B’Chatzos, Rav Zenwirth writes: “Fortunate are all those who take part in this great and holy endeavor. They will surely merit all the Heavenly blessings and illuminations. They will be pursued by goodness and kindness all their lives, and in their merit we will soon hear the great blast of the shofar of Mashiach. Amen.”
Partner in this incredible and holy endeavor today, and be joined with these holy mekubalim of Yerushalayim who will daven for you and your family to indeed merit the many Heavenly blessings that come to those who spend their nights immersed in Torah.
