US forces carried out a ninth straight night of strikes against regime targets in Iran.

Iran says Jordan helped it attack US base

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard issued a statement thanking Jordanian soldiers for their “cooperation and precise intelligence” enabling Iranian forces to hit an American base in Jordan a day earlier. Two US soldiers were killed in that attack.

Israeli forces entered the Palestinian village of Deir Jarir in Samaria early this morning to protect a group of Israeli civilians searching for livestock that had been stolen from them by Palestinian thieves.

Locals hurled stones and cinderblocks at the soldiers, who returned fire. Two Palestinians were reportedly killed in the clash.

The Palestinians are framing Spain’s World Cup victory as a defeat for Israel.

Basem Naim, a leading Hamas representative, wrote:

"We congratulate Spain on its well-deserved victory at the World Cup and congratulate Palestine and its supporters on their joy. Even if this victory only serves to anger the Zionists and their allies, that is reason enough for us."

Argentina was the favored team for most Israelis, and the Spanish government’s antagonism toward Israel over the past three years is well known.

In Britain, the narrative war over Oct. 7 began almost before Israel had counted its dead.

Two days after Hamas’s massacre, crowds were already marching in London and other UK cities. Some did not recoil from the slaughter. They celebrated “resistance.”

Since then, much of Britain’s anti-Israel discourse has moved from denial to inversion: Hamas fades from the story, Israel becomes the villain, and Jews are pressured to condemn Zionism before they are allowed into polite society.

This is not just a media problem. It is a warning about where Western antisemitism is headed.

Two Palestinian Arabs have been arrested on suspicion of setting a fire that ravaged part of Samaria and destroyed homes in the Jewish community of Havat Gilad earlier this week.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog congratulated Spain on Monday morning over its win in the 2026 World Cup.

Herzog wrote:

“My best wishes to His Majesty King Felipe VI, the team, and the people of Spain on winning the World Cup. I hope to see Israel at the next World Cup hosted in your country, as well as in Portugal and Morocco!”

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Washington remains open to a negotiated settlement with Iran, but that Tehran must first stop violating the terms of the existing deal.

"The straits are supposed to be open—free of tolls, free of attacks, free of all the things they’re doing against these ships. ... You can’t have a MoU [Memorandum of Understanding] that’s alive if they’re violating the terms of it."

Spain beat Argentina in the World Cup final.

Within minutes, parts of the Arab and pro-Palestinian online world turned a football match into something else entirely: a symbolic “victory” over Israel, Zionism and the Jewish state’s allies.

Palestinian flags, Hamas praise, “Al-Andalus” nostalgia, mockery of pro-Israel Argentine President Javier Milei, and the framing of Spain as “Palestine” versus Argentina as “Israel” all turned sport into propaganda.

Spain won because it played better football.

But the reaction showed again how quickly anything, even the world’s most popular game, can become another front in the war against Israel.

US President Donald Trump vows that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not be arrested when he next visits America.

The comments come after New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani suggested that if local law permits, he will have Netanyahu arrested when the Israeli leader attends the UN General Assembly in September.

Former US ambassador to Israel David Friedman said in Congressional testimony released on Monday that efforts to create a Palestinian state would fatally undermine US-led negotiations to achieve normalization agreements between Israel and Arab countries.

“Israel already has done the two-state experiment and that folly almost destroyed the Jewish state. Talk of a Palestinian state in the halls of Congress or the palaces of Europe is just wildly out of touch with the realities on the ground.”

Southern Lebanon “Safe Zone” pilot program begins

Israeli forces have withdrawn from two small enclaves in southern Lebanon as part of the “Safe Zone” pilot program aimed at giving the Lebanese Armed Forces a chance to regain control of the area.

Lebanese troops will deploy to the villages of Froun, Srifa and Zawtar Al-Gharbiya, where their mission is to dismantle any remaining Hezbollah presence and prevent the Iran-backed terror militia from reestablishing itself.

The Israeli army noted that “as part of the pilot, teams from the IDF, the US military, and the Lebanese Armed Forces are conducting coordination and planning for the continued implementation of the agreement.”

The IDF warned it would “respond forcefully to any violation of the agreement.”

The Israeli military’s deployment to earthquake-stricken Venezuela has become the longest humanitarian assistance mission ever conducted by Israel’s Home Front Command, as teams continue operating into a third week following widespread coastal destruction.

Some 32 Israeli experts remain on the ground in La Guaira, near Caracas, according to an IDF statement, assisting Venezuelan authorities in shifting from emergency response to long-term rehabilitation.

Israel has shelved official recognition of the Armenian Genocide, for now.

This comes after pressure from Azerbaijan, one of Israel’s most important regional allies.

The Bible has much to say both about truth and justice, but also about political responsibility.

Where does this one fall for Israel?

The IDF confirmed on Tuesday that it is constructing a physical barrier along the so-called “yellow line” deep inside the Gaza Strip.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog says he has been warned by both the head of Israel’s Central Election Committee and the Shin Bet chief about threats to the integrity of Israel’s upcoming national election, from forces inside the country and beyond its borders.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani defended his efforts to have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrested.

"I believe that when someone is charged with an International Criminal Court warrant, it’s something that should be taken seriously, whether it’s Benjamin Netanyahu, or it’s Vladimir Putin or whomever else."

Mamdani said NYC lawyers are still trying to determine if he has the authority to order Netanyahu's arrest when the Israeli leader visits the city in September for the UN General Assembly.

Mamdani announces that he does not have the authority to arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Israel fires back at Australian Labor

Israel’s Embassy in Canberra is pushing back hard against a draft platform from Australia’s ruling Labor Party, warning that its one-sided demands on Israel ignore the role of Hamas, Palestinian rejectionism, and terrorism in perpetuating the conflict.

The embassy says recognizing a Palestinian state without real reform would reward extremism, not advance peace.

Now UNESCO cares about Beaufort Castle

Hezbollah turned a 900-year-old Lebanese fortress into a military asset near Israel’s border. UNESCO said little.

But once Israel moved against the threat, the UN cultural body suddenly found its voice.

This is the double standard Israel faces again and again: terror groups exploit protected sites, civilians, and international law itself, then Israel is blamed for responding.

Iran launched four ballistic missiles at the Jordanian resort town of Aqaba a short time ago. Shrapnel from two intercepted missiles landed near the border between Aqaba and Eilat.
