Over the last 48 hours, numerous Israelis were targeted with deceptive text messages falsely attributed to the IDF Home Front Command. The bogus alerts warned of impending terror attacks inside bomb shelters and advised people to stay away from those shelters until further instructions were issued.
The texts appeared under the sender name “OREFAlert,” mimicking official messaging systems. However, authorities were quick to announce that the messages were fraudulent and had no connection to the IDF.
Security experts suspect the messages are part of a broader psychological manipulation effort, likely driven by Iranian or Iran-affiliated operatives, seeking to incite fear and confusion amid Israel’s ongoing military effort, Operation Rising Lion.

In light of the escalating security situation and the threat of missile attacks, Rav Dov Landau, rosh yeshiva of Slabodka, has issued a clear directive to immediately close Yeshivas Torah B’Tifarta in Elad due to the absence of proper protected areas (mamadim) on the premises.

Judaism teaches that the world will exist for 6,000 years, followed by a 1,000-year “Shabbat” — the Messianic era. This is based on the Talmud (Sanhedrin 97a) and reflected in Kabbalistic sources such as the Zohar and writings of the Ramchal and Vilna Gaon. As of today, the Jewish year is 5785. That means: 6000 − 5785 = 215 years remain in the pre-Messianic era. Kohelet Chapter 3: The 28 “Times” In Kohelet (Ecclesiastes) Chapter 3, King Shlomo writes: “לַכֹּל זְמָן, וְעֵת לְכָל-חֵפֶץ תַּחַת הַשָּׁמָיִם” – “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.” He then lists 28 distinct “times” (עֵת) — 14 contrasting pairs: 1.עֵת לָלֶדֶת – A time to be born/עֵת לָמוּת – A time to die 2.

In the past hour, additional U.S. Air Force KC-135 and KC-46 Aerial-Refueling Tankers have taken off from U.S. airbases, heading northeast toward the Atlantic. This includes some of the tankers that were repositioned to Northeast U.S. bases last night.

In an emotionally charged moment during the chuppah of his granddaughter on Sunday evening, the Bobover Rebbe used the occasion to call upon his chassidim and all present to direct their thoughts and hearts toward the dire situation unfolding in Eretz Yisroel.
The wedding took place at the main Bobov beis medrash in Boro Park, a large and festive gathering celebrating the marriage of the Rebbe’s granddaughter, the daughter of Rav Chaim Dovid Wachsman, Dayan of Bobov-Monsey, to the son of Rav Moshe Horowitz, son of Rav Boruch Avrohom Horowitz, Rosh Yeshiva of Bobov and son-in-law of Rav Chaim Yaakov Horowitz.

UPDATE: Following the sirens that were heard in the past few minutes in central Israel, at this stage no reports of missile impacts or injuries have been reported, aside from a few people who sustained minor injuries while seeking shelter. The barrage was very small, and intercepted.

President Trump on his early departure from the G7 Summit: “I have to be back early — for obvious reasons.”

The head of the United Nations’ nuclear monitoring body said Monday that nearly all of the approximately 15,000 centrifuges operating at Iran’s Natanz enrichment facility were likely rendered inoperable due to an Israeli strike that triggered a major power outage.
Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), had initially suggested that the attack on the external power systems of Natanz might have affected its centrifuges, though the structure housing them appeared untouched. Speaking to the BBC, he offered a much more definitive assessment.
“Our assessment is that with this sudden loss of external power, in great probability the centrifuges have been severely damaged if not destroyed altogether,” Grossi told the BBC.
