The following letter was sent to the Chaim V’Chessed organization, and provided to YWN: Over the past few days, as war-related disruptions continue to affect travel, Chaim V’Chessed and other dedicated organizations have been working nonstop to help people get where they need to go. That includes Israelis who are stranded abroad and trying to get back home – and it also includes foreign citizens who found themselves in Israel when the skies closed and are now trying to return to their home countries. It’s a complex operation, filled with uncertainty and emotion. But there’s one important difference between these two groups – and it’s not just about geography. Yes, Israelis abroad are understandably desperate to get home.

“Within 48 hours of starting its war on Iran, Israel said it gained air superiority over the western part of the country, including Tehran,” the Wall Street Journal reported. “Israeli warplanes began dropping bombs from within Iranian skies instead of relying on expensive long-range missiles.” The report continued by noting that this is an accomplishment that the giant Russian air force hasn’t achieved in Ukraine in 3½ years of war, resulting in a “grinding trench warfare” and staggering losses. Of course, the two wars are very different because Israel had not launched a ground offensive in Iran. Nevertheless, according to the report, the two conflicts reinforce what war planners have known for decades: Control over air is everything, if you can get it.

HY’D: Danny Abraham, a 59-year-old resident of Kiryat Motzkin, was one of the three fatalities from the Iranian missile strike on the Bazan facilities in Haifa last night. According to the assessment of investigative authorities, the three were in an inner room, considered the most protected area in the facility, and the strike likely hit near the building where they were located. As a result of the impact, a fire broke out, part of the structure collapsed due to the flames, and they were trapped under the rubble.

The Bazan oil refining and petrochemicals company announces it has suspended activity in all its facilities in the Haifa bay, after yesterday’s Iranian ballistic missile strike “severely damaged the central power plant.”

What appears to have been a cyber attack (possibly from Iran), a live broadcast from Israel’s Channel 14 broadcast was temporarily interrupted.

Hagaon HaRav David Yosef, the Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel, recorded this message in Hebrew from the Kosel tonight.

POTUS: “I’ve spoken to everybody… I’m in constant touch, and as I’ve been saying, I think a deal will be signed… I think Iran is foolish not to sign one.”

POTUS: “I want to see no nuclear weapon in Iran and we’re well on our way to making sure that happens.”

A new survey released Monday night by Channel 14 indicates that the Israeli public is strongly backing the military campaign targeting Iran’s nuclear weapons program. The poll also reflects a surge in approval for how Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu has been steering the war effort.
When respondents were asked, “What grade does Prime Minister Netanyahu deserve for his management of the war in Iran so far?” 61% rated his performance as “Excellent,” 19% selected “Good,” 8% responded with “Not good,” and 12% said “Poor.”

The Louvre, the world’s most-visited museum and a global symbol of art, beauty and endurance, has withstood war, terror, and pandemic — but on Monday, it was brought to a halt by its own staff, who say the institution is crumbling under the weight of mass tourism. It was an almost unthinkable sight: the home to works by Leonardo da Vinci and millennia of civilization’s greatest treasures — paralyzed in a strike by the very people tasked with welcoming the world to its galleries. Thousands of stranded and confused visitors, tickets in hand, were corralled into unmoving lines beneath I.M. Pei’s glass pyramid. “It’s the Mona Lisa moan out here,” said Kevin Ward, 62, from Milwaukee. “Thousands of people waiting, no communication, no explanation.

The Israeli Defense Forces released a statement Monday evening confirming the death of Captain (Res.) Tal Movshovitz, 28, a resident of Reut and Deputy Company Commander in the 7086th Combat Engineering Battalion of the Golani Brigade. He was killed while engaged in battle in the southern region of the Gaza Strip.
Captain Movshovitz lost his life after an explosive device was set off in the Khan Yunis area.
According to preliminary findings, the incident occurred when a terrorist cell staged an ambush. After an improvised explosive device struck the Hummer vehicle carrying Movshovitz and other troops, the attackers began firing on the soldiers.
