Katz: “This is an economic blow amounting to tens of billions of dollars for the Iranian regime.”

During the siren, a woman fell into a ditch about 4 meters deep by the roadside on Highway 20 while looking for shelter; she is in moderate condition.

US Ambassador Huckabee thanks the IDF and the Mossad for the “productive partnership” in rescuing the pilots from Iran.

Led attempts to attack our forces in Syria using former Assad soldiers, and tried to smuggle weapons into Israel.

Apparently due to a Houthi UAV: sirens are sounding now in Eilat.

The UAV was shot down, according to the IDF.

The season of destroying terrorist infrastructure in Lebanon is in full swing.

Meanwhile in Rafah: The Negev Brigade in yet another round

Donald Trump has issued a 24-hour extension, giving the regime until tomorrow at 8 p.m. ET to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The extension appears to be tied to the prospect of negotiations. But I think diplomacy is his second choice.

Also, Israel's real goal in the north, and more.

A senior White House official told NBC that a 45‑day ceasefire proposal is also being considered, but Trump has not yet given the green light.

The idea behind a time‑limited ceasefire:

Iran cannot afford an open‑ended ceasefire after being surprised and attacked twice within a year.

And the United States cannot grant a permanent ceasefire without commitments on the nuclear and missile issues.

Hence the proposal for a temporary ceasefire, modeled after Gaza 2023–2025.

The IDF announced that in the past 24 hours it had struck dozens of planes and helicopters at three airports across Tehran.

This is how the helicopters were damaged.

Iran rejects the proposal for a temporary ceasefire, according to local media.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
“We are systematically eliminating the money machine of the Revolutionary Guards. We are eliminating factories, we are eliminating operatives, and we continue to eliminate senior officials.”

“Yesterday I spoke again with my friend President Trump. I expressed to him our deep appreciation for the heroic rescue operation of that American aircrew member, and President Trump in turn thanked me for the assistance that Israel provided in that operation.

In general, he spoke about us in superlatives. He said: ‘You guys are great.’ He views Israel as a strong, determined, and forceful ally that fights shoulder to shoulder alongside the United States, and together we continue to crush the terror regime of Iran.

Today we destroyed the largest petrochemical plant in Iran. That means we are systematically eliminating the money machine of the Revolutionary Guards. We are eliminating factories, we are eliminating operatives, and yes, we are continuing to eliminate senior officials.

Iran is no longer the same Iran, and Israel is not the same Israel. Israel is stronger than ever, and the terror regime in Iran is weaker than ever. And what is the key, what is the secret? Faith and strength. We have both in abundance.”
