UPDATE: The IDF Home Front Command says civilians nationwide no longer need to remain in bomb shelters, following Iran’s latest ballistic missile attack.

A large fire is currently burning at the Haifa Oil Refinery in Northern Israel, following what appears to have been a direct impact by a ballistic missile fired by Iran.

Emergency and rescue teams are responding to a direct impact incident in Petah Tikvah.

After years of watching Iran’s terror proxies export violence to democracies worldwide, Israel has now turned those tactics back on Tehran. According to The Wall Street Journal, Mossad agents covertly smuggled drone components into Iran, which were later used to strike at the regime’s covert nuclear weapons program and the scientists behind it.
Before Israeli fighter jets launched their aerial assault this week, the groundwork had already been laid by Israel’s intelligence community. Drones were used to disable critical Iranian air defense systems and missile platforms in advance of the main strikes, the Journal reported.

Mayor Eric Adams is under fire after welcoming controversial internet personality Sneako — who has publicly made antisemitic remarks — to Gracie Mansion for a relaxed interview, the NY Post reports.
Sneako, whose legal name is Nicolas “Nico” Kenn De Balinthazy, 26, was previously removed from Twitch for what the platform labeled “extreme hateful conduct.”
During the meeting at the mayor’s Upper East Side residence, Sneako and Adams shared cigars alongside fellow social media figure Amber Rose.
The backlash was swift, with Bronx Congressman Richie Torres taking to social media to voice his outrage.
“The Mayor is smoking cigars at Gracie Mansion with Sneako—yet another antisemite, who once declared: ‘Down with the Jews,’” Torres wrote on X.

LATEST: The suspected gunman wanted for shooting two Minnesota state lawmakers and their spouses remained on the run Sunday afternoon, authorities said at a news conference. Authorities said the suspect, identified as Vance Boelter, has “been in contact with other individuals” — but couldn’t say whether he’s been receiving “any assistance.”

New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez cautioned over the weekend that Andrew Cuomo’s potential return to political office could serve as a springboard to a national campaign.
“This is not just about New York City, but this is about the United States,” she told a cheering crowd during a rally in support of Zohran Mamdani, her fellow progressive and candidate for mayor, at Manhattan’s Terminal 5.
“I mean that literally, because Andrew Cuomo has made clear that if he wins this race, he wants to run for president of the United States of America,” AOC said.

TRUMP ON ISRAEL-IRAN CONFLICT: “Sometimes they have to fight it out… I think there’s a good chance there will be a deal.”

TRAGIC UPDATE FROM BAT YAM: Two more bodies were recovered from the rubble in Bat Yam, raising the death toll from the deadly missile strike in the city to 9.

Iran has claimed that it managed to bring down an Israeli warplane amid ongoing hostilities that began three days ago. Since early June 13, Israeli forces have been carrying out airstrikes across Tehran, targeting military installations, nuclear infrastructure, and petroleum assets.
Shortly after the conflict escalated, Iranian officials claimed they had downed an Israeli aircraft and taken a pilot into custody. Israel promptly dismissed the report, categorizing it as fabricated. Later, Iranian sources doubled down, releasing a follow-up statement alleging that a jet had indeed been shot down—and that video evidence existed. A clip began circulating online, purporting to show a fighter jet being struck by anti-aircraft fire.

In a Sunday op-ed published by the Jerusalem Post, MK Yair Lapid, leader of the opposition, offered a firm endorsement of Israel’s recent military response against Iran, arguing that it was both warranted and essential.
Lapid issued a stark warning about Iran’s intentions, stating that the regime “could advance its nuclear program and work to build an arsenal of nuclear weapons,” while continuing to “fund and support terror organizations that do everything they can to murder Jews in Israel and abroad.” He further cautioned that Iran “could target Israelis abroad, including mass casualty terror attacks,” and attempt to “normalize … the idea that it is legitimate to attempt to destroy Israel and wipe out the Jewish people.”

Against the backdrop of the war between Israel and Iran and escalating tensions across the Middle East, the Jewish community in Moldova has reported a series of troubling events over the weekend in the capital, Chisinau. Over Shabbos, members of the community discovered that dozens of kivrei Yisroel in the Chisinau Jewish cemetery had been vandalized in what appears to be a deliberate and malicious act. This incident is part of a broader uptick in antisemitic incidents across the country in recent days. Among the deeply troubling occurrences: verbal harassment and threats directed at Yidden in public, antisemitic graffiti defacing the outer wall of a shul, and the inclusion of distorted and revisionist Holocaust content in a newly published state-sanctioned history textbook.
