CENTCOM reports that the US Navy has so far destroyed 100 Iranian naval vessels. "And we aren't don't yet."

Sirens in Jerusalem while we were driving to soccer practice. All clear, kids are out on the field now. Life goes on 🤷‍♂️

Reportedly three missiles fired in that barrage, one of which is believed to have been carrying a cluster warhead that separated over Beit Shemesh. Rescue teams dispatched to several suspected impact zones.

Shrapnel damage in Beit Shemesh and part of an intercepted Iranian missile fell on a house in eastern Jerusalem.

One person reportedly suffered light shrapnel injuries to his foot.

Remains of an intercepted Iranian missile near the northern Israel town of Tzefat earlier today.

Shrapnel from a missile interception earlier today over Jerusalem landed on the Temple Mount.

Over the past few days, the IDF destroyed two significant research centers of the Iranian Space Agency in Tehran.

These facilities were linked to the Iranian regime’s efforts to develop military space programs, including the development of the “Chamran-1” satellite launched into orbit in September 2024.

Israel's Mossad in a Persian-language post to members of the Iranian military:

"Some have already understood - the time to act is now. They did not stay put, and chose to seek a future of their children.

"The first step begins with a simple decision.

"If you are also considering your steps, a short conversation can open a new chapter for you.

"Contact us via the safe line.”

Sirens in central Israel.

Intercepted.

Israel destroyed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy Headquarters in Tehran.

The headquarters was located within a large Iranian regime military compound and had been used by senior naval commanders for years to manage operational activity and advance maritime terrorist operations against the State of Israel and other countries across the Middle East.

The IRGC’s Navy is directly responsible for carrying out terror attacks against civilian vessels. The navy is also responsible for arming and financing the regime’s proxy terror organizations by transferring weapons by sea.

Sirens again in central Israel.

Iran fired an additional missile at central Israel overnight. It was successfully intercepted.

The IDF launched another wave of strikes against Iranian terrorist regime targets in Tehran and other cities across Iran.

IDF Spokesman:

As part of the forward defense posture in southern Lebanon, troops from the 401st Brigade are operating in evacuated areas used by Hezbollah terrorists to exploit civilian infrastructure for terrorist activity.

During operations this week, the troops located weapons and incitement materials in a structure used by Hezbollah terrorist operatives. In addition, the troops dismantled a weapons cache belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization.

The IDF on Sunday identified an armed Hamas terrorist cell loading into vehicles to carry out an attack against Israeli soldiers in Gaza.

They didn’t make it far. The IDF struck and eliminated the terrorists as they made their way to their target.
