🎯 IDF eliminates Hamas supply commander in Gaza City:
The IDF said it struck the Sabra area of Gaza City and eliminated Omar Mohammed Roshdy Saraj, a commander in Hamas’s Gaza City supply and maintenance company.
“As part of his role, the terrorist managed the supply of weapons to Hamas terrorists in Gaza City,” the IDF said. Another Hamas military-wing operative was also struck in the same attack.
According to the IDF, both terrorists had recently advanced attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians and worked to rehabilitate Hamas capabilities, “in systematic violation of the ceasefire.” The military said they were struck to remove the threat they posed. Gazan media reported earlier that Israeli strikes in Gaza City during the day killed five people.

🛡️ Israel and Greece sign €3 billion “Achilles Shield” defense deal:
Israel and Greece signed the largest defense agreement in their bilateral history, worth approximately €3 billion, more than NIS 10 billion, under which Israel will build Greece a comprehensive multi-layered air-defense network.
The program will integrate Rafael’s David’s Sling and SPYDER systems, IAI’s BARAK MX, ELTA MMR radars and a new national command-and-control system led by Rafael, providing defense against ballistic missiles, aerial attacks, hostile UAVs and other threats.
Defense Ministry Director General Amir Baram and Greek procurement chief Ioannis Bouras signed the agreement at the Israeli Defense Ministry headquarters in Tel Aviv. The ministry described it as “the largest defense export deal in the history of Israel-Greece relations, and one of the largest in the history of the State of Israel,” and said it marks the first time Israel will provide another country with a complete integrated defense architecture against such a broad range of threats.
According to additional reporting, full operational capability is targeted within 35 months, with more than 25% Greek industrial participation and access to source code. A separate €26 million agreement was also signed for Rafael’s DRONE DOME counter-UAV systems to protect strategic sites.
The broader agreement includes expanded Israeli-Greek defense-industrial cooperation and technology transfer to Greek industry. The Defense Ministry said Greece’s selection of Israeli technology as the backbone of its major air-defense buildup reflects the depth of trust between the countries and further strengthens their strategic security partnership in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Netanyahu said: “The security agreement with Greece reflects Israel’s strength and the strengthening of regional alliances.”

🔸 Smotrich-Feiglin talks advance as Winter falls below threshold in three polls:
The remaining point of contention in the emerging Smotrich-Feiglin alliance is reportedly whether Smotrich’s representative will receive the 11th position and Feiglin the 12th, or vice versa.
At the same time, Bennett and Eisenkot continued examining the possibility of a merger within their bloc.
A new poll following the emerging Smotrich-Feiglin alliance shows Ofer Winter failing to cross the electoral threshold. Three polls on three channels within 24 hours now place Winter below the threshold. In the scenarios cited, Winter crosses only if Smotrich runs independently or in hypothetical merger scenarios involving Ben Gvir or Likud.

❌ Senior Hamas terrorist apprehended in Gaza operation:
The IDF confirmed striking "a number of targets" in the Gaza Strip to "remove threats to security forces." No Israeli troops were injured.
Gazan media claimed that a "special Israeli unit" infiltrated western Gaza City before being detected by Hamas, prompting Israeli shelling and airstrikes in the area. Palestinian media has at times referred to Israeli-backed anti-Hamas militias operating inside Gaza as Israeli forces. Subsequent reporting indicated that the alleged "special unit" was apparently an Israeli-backed Palestinian militia. The IDF declined to comment on those specific reports.
Defense Minister Israel Katz subsequently confirmed that a senior Hamas terrorist had been apprehended inside Gaza following reports of a raid by an Israeli-backed Palestinian militia with Israeli air support. Gazan reports initially cited at least one person killed and several wounded in the strikes, with later reports citing four killed.
Katz said: "This is our policy: we do not wait for threats, but pursue Hamas terrorists, thwart them and destroy their terrorist infrastructure. We have built a strong and unprecedented security zone in Gaza to protect the residents and IDF soldiers."
"We are not withdrawing from Gaza until the Strip is demilitarized, Hamas is disarmed and all terror tunnels are destroyed. And even after that, the IDF will remain in Gaza on defensive lines and ensure the security of the western Negev communities."

🚧 Smuggling attempt through Gaza aid mechanism thwarted:
Israeli authorities thwarted an attempt at the Kerem Shalom Crossing to smuggle approximately 100 bottles of liquid nicotine into Gaza, concealed inside beverage bottles.
The shipment was carried by a truck transporting goods purchased by an Israeli company authorized to bring supplies into Gaza through the private-sector humanitarian aid mechanism. Defense Ministry crossing inspectors discovered the concealed nicotine and transferred the findings to COGAT officials.
The truck and its entire contents were confiscated and transferred to Customs and other relevant authorities. COGAT chief Maj. Gen. Yoram Halevy ordered the company's authorization to bring aid into Gaza immediately suspended until further notice. COGAT said Israeli authorities would continue operating with "zero tolerance" against attempts to smuggle goods or exploit humanitarian aid mechanisms.

🇺🇸 Trump: Further retaliation possible, but major escalation downplayed:
In new Oval Office remarks Monday evening, President Trump downplayed the prospect that renewed U.S.-Iran exchanges mark a return to full-scale war while leaving further conventional strikes on the table.
Asked about the escalation, Trump described Iran as militarily and economically devastated and said: "That doesn’t mean we won’t smack them. We’ll see what happens." He separately ruled out any need to use nuclear weapons against Iran, saying Tehran is already "totally defeated militarily."
ISRAEL REALTIME ASSESSMENT: The remarks meaningfully clarify Trump's earlier promise to "hit them hard." He continues to signal that further U.S. military action remains possible, while now explicitly suggesting that the response is more likely to remain limited rather than expand into a new full-scale campaign. That aligns with the previously reported CENTCOM proposal for periodic, targeted strikes around the Strait of Hormuz. No new Pentagon or CENTCOM operational announcement accompanied the remarks at this check.

💥 U.S. strikes IRGC targets in Iran:
At 12:00 PM ET, 7:00 PM Israel time, CENTCOM announced: “Today at 12 p.m. ET, U.S. forces began striking Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets in Iran. The strikes follow recent attempted attacks by the IRGC against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and against American service members deployed to the region”.
The U.S. military is carrying out airstrikes in southern Iran. Explosions have been reported in Bandar Abbas, Sirik, Qeshm, Chabahar, Konarak, Jask, Minab and Asaluyeh in Bushehr province. Specific targets, damage and the scale or duration of the operation have not yet been disclosed.
Axios reports the attacks are part of the limited-strike strategy around the Strait of Hormuz that President Trump and senior advisers had been considering, intended to prevent Iran from rebuilding radar, missile and other capabilities that could threaten tankers, U.S. ships and aircraft.

🇺🇸 Trump confirms strikes and threatens much larger attack:
President Trump said: “The United States is, as we speak, striking Iranian Targets near the Strait of Hormuz. The strikes are large and powerful, and in retaliation for the Iranians’ failed attempt at adding sea mines to the Strait, which currently has no mines (They have been completely removed or detonated!), and the Iranians shooting eight missiles, all successfully knocked down, at our Military Base in Jordan. If the failed Nation of Iran retaliates for this very justified attack, they will be hit again at a much harder and higher level, but it will not be the biggest attack of them all, that is waiting in the wings and, when it is over, there will be very little left of the Islamic Republic of Iran! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
Trump separately said: “If they retaliate, they will be hit much harder. And if they do it again, they will be no longer. They don't stop. They are crazy and they're stupid. They tried to rebuild their radar because they can't see anything. We waited until it was almost built and then we hit it. I think an agreement with them isn't worth the paper it is written on. We gave them a lot of chances”.

🕘 Israel RealTime assessment:
This is the most important development since Trump vowed, “We’re going to hit them hard. There will be a response.” The administration has now moved from threat to active military retaliation.
The initial U.S. framing remains consistent with a controlled campaign centered on Iranian capabilities threatening the Strait of Hormuz and American forces, rather than, at least for now, a return to unrestricted large-scale strikes across Iran. Trump’s warning, however, explicitly leaves open the possibility of substantially broader attacks if Iran retaliates.

❌ Hamas internal security chief captured in Gaza City:
The IDF and Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) carried out a targeted operation in Gaza City earlier today, capturing Muein al-Arabid, identified as the head of Hamas' Internal Security apparatus in the Gaza Strip. Shin Bet special forces entered a building and apprehended al-Arabid while the Israeli Air Force struck several "military targets in the area to remove threats to the forces." No Israeli forces were injured.
According to the IDF and Shin Bet, al-Arabid had recently worked to "consolidate the Hamas terror organization's control over the northern Gaza Strip" and advance attacks against IDF troops operating near the Yellow Line. He was transferred to Israel for further questioning. The agencies said the operation was intended to "remove threats and undermine Hamas's control in the area and its plans to advance terrorist activities against IDF troops and Israeli civilians."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said: "I commend the Shin Bet and the IDF, who in a bold operation arrested today the head of Hamas's internal security apparatus near his home in Gaza."
Netanyahu described al-Arabid as "one of Hamas's most senior leaders, was responsible for hiding and moving our hostages, hiding senior Hamas officials, force build-up, and attempting to restore the capabilities of the terror organization."
"Recently, he was engaged in efforts to restore Hamas's governance in Gaza, in deception regarding the issue of demilitarizing the Strip, and assisted in carrying out terror attacks against our forces and our civilians," Netanyahu said. He added that Israel "will continue to pursue all Hamas leaders and everyone who took part in the October 7 massacre."
Arabic-language media had claimed that an Israeli-backed anti-Hamas militia carried out the raid. The IDF and Shin Bet said it was conducted by Shin Bet special forces. Al Jazeera subsequently published footage showing the Gaza City raid.
The IDF said Southern Command forces remain deployed in the area in accordance with the agreement and will continue operating to remove threats.
