In a Hebrew-language interview broadcast tonight on israel’s Channel 14, Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu reiterated recent remarks supporting the idea of toppling Iran’s ruling regime and indicated that the current military conflict could help advance normalization with Arab countries under the Abraham Accords framework.
Responding to a question about whether regime change in Iran was a specific aim of the war, Netanyahu explained his perspective in historical terms. “Cyrus freed the Jews, and today the Jewish state might free the Persians. Not in the sense that we’re doing it for them…In the end, they have to rise up themselves, but we are creating the conditions. And that’s why it could be consequential.”

Iran has released a new AI-generated video implicitly threatening a nuclear attack on Israel. There is no evidence to suggest the genocidal regime has any such capabilities.

The White House has called a full lid for the evening, meaning President Donald Trump is not expected to make any public appearances, issue statements, or be seen on camera for the remainder of the day.

Amid waves of ballistic missile attacks and a US attack on its nuclear facilities likely pending, Iran’s supreme leader ym”s vows to “show the Zionists no mercy.”

President Donald Trump is reportedly weighing the possibility of coordinating with Israel on military strikes targeting Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, including the highly secure facility located in Fordow. The information was reported by CBS News, which cited five individuals with knowledge of the matter.
The report indicates that among Trump’s top advisors, there is no unanimous stance on whether the United States should actively join the Israeli military campaign.
This issue was expected to be addressed during a high-level discussion convened by Trump in the White House Situation Room on Tuesday afternoon, where his national security team gathered to evaluate the growing conflict between Israel and Iran.

The IDF has issued an urgent evacuation warning for District 18 in Tehran, ahead of an expected strike on Iranian military infrastructure. Civilians are urged to leave immediately for their safety.

The past few days in Israel have been nothing short of devastating. A barrage of hypersonic missiles, explosive-laden drones, and relentless rocket fire launched by Iran and its proxies has rained down on cities across the country, leaving destruction, trauma, and heartbreak in its wake. From the northern border to the heart of Tel Aviv, no community has been spared. In one of the most heartbreaking incidents, an entire Arab Israeli family — including young children — was killed in the north. In central Israel, direct hits on residential buildings and public spaces left over 100 injured and at least 9 civilians dead, among them three children aged just 10, 13, and 18. More than 300 homes and buildings have been reported damaged or destroyed.

With great sadness, Matzav.com reports the untimely petirah of R’ Avrohom Nochum (Avromi) Landesman z”l of Lakewood. He was just 45 years old.
Avromi was in the middle of learning in the Whispering Pines Shul when he began experiencing severe chest pain. Despite the swift response of Hatzolah, he tragically went into cardiac arrest and was niftar shortly thereafter.

In a time when the word “mission” takes on new meaning, it’s hard not to be moved by Ari Bar-Shain’s story – an oleh from the U.S., former IDF combat soldier and officer in the Givati Brigade, and now, the driving force behind a support program for religious lone soldiers called Tzalash – Tzava L’Shem Shamayim (Army for the Sake of Heaven). Bar-Shain, 28, was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. At just 17, he left everything behind and moved to Israel alone to study at Yeshivat Har Etzion. From there, he enlisted in the IDF, serving first as a combat soldier and later as an officer in Givati – a formative experience that came with its own unique challenges as a lone soldier in a new country. “I know the difficulties firsthand. I’ve been there,” he says.

When I read the news on YWN in the last few days, my heart breaks for the Yidden who have lost their lives because of this war. But my heart also fills with pride when I see images of Israeli warplanes pounding our enemies and recognizing the yad Hashem in everything that is happening. Iran is not Hamas or Hezbollah. Iran is a large and powerful country that has threatened many times to wipe out Israel and kill all the Jews. The fact that Hashem has given us the ability to inflict great damage on this enemy is a tremendous gift from Hashem. I am incredibly proud of our ability to defend ourselves. My great uncles and aunts, who died horrible deaths in the Holocaust, did not have the ability to defend themselves. We do, and we should thank Hashem profusely for this gift.

According to an Israeli official, Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu has concluded a phone conversation with President Donald Trump.
Netanyahu had mentioned the previous day that he has been in frequent contact with Trump, speaking nearly daily since tensions with Iran escalated last week.
Recent remarks from Trump have fueled speculation that the United States might soon become directly involved in military action against Iran alongside Israel.

U.S. regulators will begin offering faster reviews to new medicines that administration officials deem as promoting “the health interests of Americans,” under a new initiative announced Tuesday. Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary said the agency will aim to review select drugs in one to two months. FDA’s long-standing accelerated approval program generally issues decisions in six months for drugs that treat life-threatening diseases. Regular drug reviews take about 10 months. Since arriving at the FDA in April, Makary has repeatedly told FDA staff they need to “challenge assumptions” and rethink procedures.

UPDATE: MDA says no reports of injuries have been received following the missiles strikes into Israel moments ago. MDA teams are being dispatched to search the areas where reports were received. The IDF says Iran fired approximately 15 missiles into Israel.
