Israel’s strikes against Iran were a “calculated and necessary action” that was “carried out in response to an escalating existential threat,” Danny Danon, Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, told reporters in New York at the global body’s headquarters.
The Islamic Republic has a long history of funding and training terror proxies across the Middle East, but the direct threat from the regime “took a dramatic turn,” Danon said. “Iran advanced significantly toward nuclear weapons capabilities.”

The Israeli military has confirmed that Iran’s most recent strike, carried out less than an hour ago, involved only a small number of ballistic missiles.
According to the IDF, the limited barrage was effectively countered by Israel’s air defense systems, which successfully intercepted most of the incoming threats. There have been no confirmed missile landings on Israeli territory.
Magen David Adom also reported that there were no injuries or medical incidents resulting from the attempted strike.
Following an assessment of the situation, the Home Front Command has announced that civilians across the country may safely exit their protected spaces, as the immediate danger has passed.

A heartbreaking tragedy has struck the community of Monsey, as four-year-old Golda Eisenbach a”h passed away from her injuries after being struck by a drunk driver on Motzoei Shabbos.
Golda was the daughter of Rav Yisroel Eisenbach, a distinguished member of the Skverer community, renowned askan, and longtime member of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Spring Valley. Her mother, Mrs. Rochel Freida, is a pillar of the local community as well.
The young child was initially treated at the scene by Rockland County Hatzolah volunteers before being transported to a nearby hospital. She was later transferred to Westchester Medical Center, where doctors sadly pronounced her petirah.

Iranian media outlets reported that air defense systems were reactivated throughout Tehran on Sunday afternoon in response to a new wave of incoming projectiles from Israel. According to the reports, Israeli strikes resumed across multiple areas of the capital.
At the same time, attacks were also recorded in the city of Tabriz and surrounding areas, while loud blasts were reported near Mehrabad Airport in Tehran.
The IDF announced on Sunday morning that approximately 50 Israeli Air Force jets had been deployed overnight above Tehran, conducting a wide-scale assault on installations connected to Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.

When Akiva Zuravin set out to develop Jerusalem Estates, he wasn’t simply building luxury apartments—he was making a statement. A quiet one, as is his way. But unmistakable. Tucked into the historic Schneller compound in the heart of the frum neighborhoods and within walking distance of prominent Chassidic centers, Jerusalem Estates became more than just a sought-after address. It became a symbol of what’s possible when vision, values, and execution align.
“We weren’t just creating buildings,” Zuravin reflects. “We were shaping something that felt deeply connected to its surroundings—authentic, beautiful, and thoughtfully done.”

At least 11 people were killed overnight in a wave of Iranian missile attacks on civilian areas across Israel.
Seven people were killed when an apartment building in Bat Yam, just south of Tel Aviv, sustained a direct hit, according to the Magen David Adom emergency medical service. A 4-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy are among the dead.
Rescue efforts are ongoing at the scene, where two people remained unaccounted for beneath the rubble after four of the missing were found at hospitals. At least 180 others were wounded in the strike, according to Daniel Hadad, Ayalon region director of the Israel Defense Forces’ Home Front Command.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who ran alongside Kamala Harris on the 2024 Democratic ticket, raised eyebrows this week by suggesting that communist China could potentially be seen as a leading moral voice in the ongoing hostilities between Israel and Iran.
Speaking at a forum hosted by the Center for American Progress, Walz made the remarks while discussing the fallout from Israel’s military actions against Iran. As reported by Fox News, Walz stated, “Iran has to retaliate, in their mind,” adding that the region had reignited into chaos: “The Middle East is back on fire in a way that has now expanded.”

Israel’s military campaign against Iranian targets is anticipated to continue for several weeks  – “weeks, not days” – rather than wrapping up quickly, according to CNN, which cited both American and Israeli government sources. This prolonged timeline has reportedly been met with quiet assent from Washington.
Talks between Israeli and U.S. officials have made it clear that both sides share a mutual understanding about the extended nature of the operation. A senior Israeli official told CNN that the Trump administration has not raised any objections in private regarding the operation lasting several weeks.

According to a report in The New York Times, Iran had advance knowledge that Israel might target its nuclear program, but Iranian leadership was caught off guard by the timing. Tehran did not anticipate that Israel would strike while talks with the United States were still underway, which contributed to the overwhelming success of the Israeli operation early Friday morning.

Iran is now turning to regional intermediaries in a bid to halt the escalating conflict, reportedly pleading with them to deliver a message directly to President Donald Trump: stop the war.
Despite continuing its missile assaults on Israel, Iran has been unable to shield itself from the relentless wave of Israeli counterstrikes.
In under two days, Israel has succeeded in eliminating the bulk of Iran’s top military commanders and nuclear experts. It has also inflicted significant damage on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and nearly wiped out what remained of the country’s air defense systems. In response to Tehran’s missile fire on Israeli population centers, Israel has also begun hitting critical components of Iran’s energy sector.
