Iraq Suspects Israeli Strikes on Chinese Missile Warehouses

Iraq Suspects Israeli Strikes on Chinese Missile Warehouses

Iraq suspects Israel attacked two warehouses storing Chinese-made missiles and air defense systems intended for pro-Iranian militias. The strikes, which occurred last week, are believed to be part of a new, undeclared military operation by the US and Israel against Iran, focusing on Iraqi territory. The incidents are the latest in a series of explosions hitting militia depots across Iraq since early October. Iraqi security officials believe Israel is behind the attacks, and further actions against pro-Iranian militias are anticipated.

Mivtach Shamir Energy Enters Server Farm Race with Jordan Valley Option

Mivtach Shamir's energy division has secured a ten-year option to develop a 100 MW server farm on 106 dunams in Kibbutz Ashdot Yaakov Meuhad, Jordan Valley. The deal allows Shamir Energy to plan, finance, and build the facility, with the potential for electricity generation or storage. This strategic move aligns with a limited government allocation for new server farms, where demand far exceeds supply, and leverages Shamir Energy's existing power generation expertise.
