“Keep hunting them all”

Israeli forces have eliminated Abu al-Qassem Baba’iyan, the newly-appointed military secretary to Iran’s supreme leader.

Baba’iyan was appointed just days ago following the assassination of his predecessor in the opening strike of Operation Roaring Lion.

Defense Minister Israel Katz reportedly responded to news of Baba’iyan’s death with, “Keep hunting them all.”

Baba’iyan hadn’t yet been able to fulfill this role, as Iran is currently without a supreme leader. Ali Khamenei was also killed in the opening strike of Operation Roaring Lion.

US Central Command urges Iranian civilians to remain indoors, as the regime is cynically putting them in harm's way by launching missiles and drones from civilian areas.

The IDF has begun another broad wave of strikes on Iranian terror regime targets in Tehran and other areas in Iran.

Israeli strike a short time ago on a military base in the Iranian holy city of Qom.

Trump: The next leader of Iran won't last long if he doesn't have my approval.

Israel has threatened to hunt down and eliminate whoever is named to succeed slain Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Today Israel targeted IRGC Air Force Headquarters as part of a broader assault on Iranian regime targets.

The site was the main command-and-control center used to direct the regime’s air force activity. The Iranian terror regime’s ballistic missile command, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) array, and other air force units all operated in the headquarters.

The strike on the Iranian terror regime's air force is part of the concentrated effort to dismantle the Iranian ballistic missile array while impairing its ability to synchronize and coordinate attacks on the State of Israel.

Netanyahu to the people of Iran: Your moment is coming.

OVERNIGHT ROUNDUP

🔹 3 limited volleys of Iranian missiles toward central Israel, one of them a cluster munition that moderately injured an Israeli woman.

🔹 Several volleys of drones and rockets from Lebanon; no reports of injuries.

🔹 Continued waves of Israeli airstrikes in Beirut, Southern Lebanon and across western and central Iran.

🔹 Several Iranian attacks on Bahrain with reports of casualties.

🔹 Trump said he will only make a decision to end the war together with Netanyahu, and not unilaterally.

🔹 Trump admin officials hint they are not entirely pleased with Israeli strikes on Iranian oil facilities.

FACT CHECK

Hezbollah claims it shot down an Israeli military helicopter over southern Lebanon last night.

This is untrue.

“Get rid of them”

Recording of a phone conversation between an Israeli military intelligence officer and a resident of Beirut’s Dahieh neighborhood, who urges Israel to “get rid” of Hezbollah.

He tells the Israeli that Hezbollah has threatened and intimidated the people of Beirut, and that they are with Israel in defeating the Iranian-backed terror group.

Israeli troops struck two Hamas terrorists who were planning to carry out a sniper attack imminently against IDF soldiers in the northern Gaza Strip.

Terrorists in Gaza have prepared and carried out several attacks on Israeli troops in the Gaza Strip and civilians in nearby Israeli locales since a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel went into effect in October of last year.

Hamas leadership is trying hard to open a new front in the Iran war, but their operational capabilities have been severely degraded since the start of the Iron Swords war.

US Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff and senior White House adviser Jared Kushner are expected to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Tuesday.

The visit would be the first by senior US officials to Israel since the Feb. 28 launch of “Operation Roaring Lion/Epic Fury.”

Death toll in central Israel has risen to 2. Both fatalities were construction workers who failed to enter a bomb shelter when the sirens sounded.

Iran is no longer just threatening borders. It is threatening survival.

A strike on a desalination plant is not another military headline. In this region, it is an assault on the civilian lifeline itself. In the Gulf—and in Israel—water infrastructure is not secondary infrastructure. It is the thin line between stability and chaos.

This is what makes Iran’s targeting of desalination plants so revealing: the regime is not merely escalating the war. It is probing for the most fragile pressure point in desert nations whose populations depend on these facilities for daily life.
