US Central Command (CENTCOM) described last night’s strike on Larak Island as a “limited, precise action against IRGC minelaying forces posing an imminent threat in the Strait of Hormuz. In essence, Iran created the threat and the US military eliminated it to protect civilian mariners, commercial shipping, and the free flow of global commerce.”

Following the US strike on Larak Island in Iran, several ballistic missiles were reportedly intercepted over Jordan.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Channel 14‘s “The Patriots” on Sunday night that the defeat of the Iranian regime could bring about the elimination of the Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist groups.

Netanyahu also warned that Iran has not abandoned its pursuit of nuclear weapons despite the damage its program sustained during the war.

“Iran wants to renew the nuclear program. I prevented it and I will prevent it again,” he said. “Iran will not have a nuclear weapon as long as I am prime minister.”

Britain’s Cabinet Office said Friday that it was taking action after a civil servant reposted an image of Dolly Parton following her death with the caption, “It should have been [Benjamin] Netanyahu.”

British activist to be deported over assault of Judea minor

Police referred a foreign national detained near the Judean community of Carmel over the weekend to the Population and Immigration Authority for a hearing ahead of his expected deportation.

The man, identified by local media as British anarchist Finn Joughin, 22, was nabbed by Israeli civilians on Saturday after he breached public order outside the Hebron-area community. A complaint was filed against him on suspicion of assaulting a minor and additional offenses.

The incident occurred as three Jewish children, ages 10 to 12, were hiking near Carmel. Palestinians and anti-Israel activists blocked the children’s path, and one of the activists sexually harassed them.

We see more—but understand less

In an age of endless images, news and outrage, two people can look at the same event and see entirely different realities.
