Israeli Defense Forces Brigadier General (Ret) Amir Avivi joins us in our series examining the ongoing conflict in Israel. Gen. Avivi gives a closer look at the dynamics of the latest ceasefire and the evolution of Israeli Defense Forces operations against Hamas.
After his service, Gen. Avivi founded HaBithonisti, Protectors of Israel, a group of retired and reserve officers and soldiers of the IDF who work to promote Israel’s security.
Originally from the Houston area, Congressman Dan Crenshaw is a 6th generation Texan, a retired Navy SEAL, and a current member of the U.S. House representing Texas’s second congressional district.
After graduating from college, Dan joined the Navy SEALs, where he spent 10 years serving our country. It was on his third tour that an IED blast badly damaged his vision, destroying his right eye and leaving his left eye barely functional. Dan, in true military and Texas fashion, refused to give up. He served two more tours after recovering from the blast. In 2016 he was medically retired as a Lieutenant Commander. He left the service with two Bronze Stars (one with Valor), the Purple Heart, the Navy Commendation Medal with Valor, and multiple other accolades. Two short years later he was elected to Congress.
Since January 2019, Dan has defended his country in a new role as a U.S. Representative. As a member of the House Homeland Security and Budget committees, Dan remains a steadfast defender of the founding ideals our country was built on and is a champion for fiscal responsibility, border security, and stronger infrastructure and flood mitigation programs in TX-02.

,1,When Americans talk about air-to-air missiles launched at targets like drones or balloons, they tend to think in terms of cost — often calculated as the cost of the missile versus the cost or nature of the target.
But the truth is, missiles aren’t investments, they’re perishable goods. Like a gallon of milk in your refrigerator, you can only keep these systems on the shelf for so long before they go bad.
