The Israeli Air Force has destroyed 70 Iranian air defense batteries since the start of the IDF’s operation in Iran, according to the military. In the first 24 hours of the operation early Friday, over 40 Iranian air defense systems were struck, according to the IDF, giving the IAF air supremacy over western Iran and Tehran. Since then, another 30 systems have been targeted in waves of strikes, opening up a path for IAF fighter jets and drones to operate deeper within Iran, the military says.

Additional footage released by the IDF shows strikes on air defense systems in Iran.

Amid growing alarm over Iran’s missile attacks, hundreds of Americans participating in Birthright trips to Israel were evacuated by sea, setting sail on a cruise ship bound for Cyprus.
The Israeli Navy accompanied the vessel, which carried 1,500 passengers, during its 10-hour journey on Tuesday to ensure their safety along the route.
To complete the evacuation effort, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis arranged for four planes to retrieve the travelers in Cyprus and bring them to Tampa, allowing the Americans to continue their journey back to the United States.
According to the nonprofit organization Birthright Israel, there are approximately 2,800 participants currently on trips in Israel—most of whom are young Americans.

Retail sales fell sharply in May as consumers pulled back after a sharp increase in spending in March to get ahead of President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs on nearly all imports. Sales at retail stores and restaurants dropped 0.9% in May, the Commerce Department said Tuesday, after a decline of 0.1% in April. The figure was pulled down by a steep drop in auto sales, after Americans ramped up their car-buying in March to get ahead of Trump’s 25% duty on imported cars and car parts. Excluding autos, sales fell 0.3%. The sales drop comes after sharp declines in consumer confidence this year. Still, inflation has cooled steadily and unemployment remains low, which could fuel steady spending in the coming months, as the economy has remained mostly solid.
