As Iran Escalates, United Hatzalah Responds — Under Fire With America’s strike on Iran and Tehran lashing out in desperation, Israeli civilians are again in the crosshairs. Cities across the north and center have endured waves of rocket fire. Families are running for shelter. Children are frightened. And before the smoke even clears, United Hatzalah volunteers are already there. PLEASE DONATE GENEROUSLY This past week alone, medics have pulled a baby from a collapsed apartment in Haifa, revived a grandfather hit by shrapnel in Petach Tikvah, and treated entire families suffering trauma after direct rocket strikes. These aren’t salaried professionals — they’re trained volunteers, leaving their own children in shelters to save strangers and their children.

Israel, which carried out a series of airstrikes against Iran on Monday, targeting the headquarters and symbols of the regime, is seeking to end the war with the Islamic Republic soon. Army Radio reported on Monday morning that Israeli leaders fear that Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei will drag Israel into a prolonged war of attrition, during which Iran will fire ballistic missiles at Israel for months, like the Houthis did from Yemen. According to the report, Israel wants to end the war as quickly as possible—within a few days.

A newly emerging COVID-19 strain spreading in the United States is being blamed for a particularly painful sore throat, which some have started calling “razor blade throat.”
The variant, dubbed “nimbus” and formally designated NB.1.8.1, is a descendant of the omicron lineage and is under active observation by the World Health Organization.
“Your throat is so dry, so cracked, it’s so painful, it’s even hard to drink sometimes,” said Dr. Muhammad Azam of Sharp Community Medical Group in California, speaking to ABC 10.
This version of the virus was initially detected back in January and has since been identified in countries around the world, including Canada and at least 13 states across the U.S.

JERUSALEM (VINnews) — The Israeli Air Force has launched a s

A wave of excitement has swept through the Torah world following the discovery of a remarkable passage in a centuries-old sefer that appears to allude to current events in the Strait of Hormuz, potentially linking them to the war of Gog uMagog.

An IDF drone was shot down by Iran on Monday. The IDF confirmed the incident.

WHITE HOUSE PRESS SEC: “We are confident, yes, that Iran’s nuclear sites were completely and totally obliterated … We have a high degree of confidence that where those strikes took place is where Iran’s enriched uranium was stored. “This operation was a resounding success.” WH PRESS SEC: “This strike on Saturday did make our homeland safer because it took away Iran’s ability to create a nuclear bomb. This is a regime that threatens ‘death to America.” “They no longer have the capability to build this nuclear weapon and threaten the world.”

‘The absolutely unprovoked aggression against Iran has no basis and no justification’ — Vladimir Putin tells Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi ‘Russia is taking steps to support the Iranian people,’ the president emphasized’

A travel ordeal late Friday night left a group of Israelis stranded between borders after unexpected flight delays prevented them from entering Israel via Jordan.
The situation unfolded around 8:00 p.m., when MK Moshe Roth of United Torah Judaism received a distress call from an Israeli citizen among a group stuck at Larnaca Airport in Cyprus. The travelers, which included several families with young children, were originally scheduled to fly to Aqaba, Jordan, and then cross into Israel. However, repeated flight delays pushed their departure to 11:00 p.m.
By the time their flight landed, the Jordanian border had already closed at its usual hour of 8:00 p.m., leaving the group stranded in an unsecured and unfamiliar location during the night.

In a shocking poll just one day before New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary, a new poll shows Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani pulling ahead of former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the final round of ranked-choice voting. The Emerson College poll, conducted in partnership with PIX11 and The Hill, shows a tight race in the opening round, with Cuomo leading at 35% and Mamdani trailing closely at 32%. However, in the ranked-choice simulation run by Emerson, Mamdani ultimately defeats Cuomo 52% to 48% in the eighth and final round of vote tallying. It’s the first time Mamdani has led in the final results of any Emerson polling to date — signaling a potential upset in the making.

With tensions running high and the global community on edge over Iran’s anticipated response to the recent U.S. strikes on its nuclear facilities, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has harshly criticized Israel’s actions in the region.
In a statement posted to social media early this morning, Khamenei condemned Israel’s June 13 bombing campaign, calling it “a big mistake” and “a big crime.”
“The Zionist enemy… is being punished right now,” he wrote, accompanying the message with a graphic image showing missiles descending on an Israeli city, beneath a large skull.

NEW YORK (VINnews) — US President Donald Trump on Sunday publicly di

In a heartfelt address transmitted to thousands of Bobover chassidim across Israel, including hundreds of yeshiva students, the Bobover Rebbe delivered words of encouragement and urgency amid the ongoing war, stressing the imperative to adhere meticulously to all safety directives.
The Rebbe opened his message with hoda’ah l’Hashem for the many chassodim bestowed upon the residents of Eretz HaKodesh. “Nevertheless,” he continued, “we are still in a situation that demands tefillah—hoshanah nefesh mi’behala.”

Iran asserts that it successfully moved nearly all of its highly enriched uranium before the U.S. launched strikes on its nuclear facilities. Officials are concerned that 400 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium stored at Fordow may have already been transferred elsewhere prior to the attack — known as Operation Midnight Hammer. Satellite images from recent days seem to support Iran’s claim, showing convoys leaving multiple sites, including a line of 16 trucks near Fordow on June 19. Visuals from Maxar Technologies, a U.S. defense contractor, depict trucks, bulldozers, and security convoys surrounding Fordow, leading analysts from TS2 Space to suggest there was a “frantic effort” to move centrifuges or shielding materials amid the attacks.

The Israel Airports Authority announced Sunday evening that it will be significantly broadening the scope of Operation “Safe Return” beginning Monday.
As part of the expanded effort, Ben Gurion Airport will now handle up to 24 incoming flights per day from various international destinations. Outbound flights will also resume, in coordination with the Civil Aviation Authority, the Ministry of Transportation, and national security officials, and under the guidance of Transportation Minister Miri Regev.
According to the updated plan, each departing flight will be capped at 50 passengers. This restriction is intended to alleviate airport crowding and limit passengers’ time spent in the terminal, in line with enhanced safety and security procedures.

The Israeli Air Force bombed the gates of Iran’s Evin Prison in Tehran, which holds Iranians opposed to the Islamic regime. No word if any prisoners escaped.
