In an extraordinary public statement, Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency hailed the nation’s stunning success in Operation Rising Lion, calling it a “historic moment” that has significantly neutralized the Iranian threat after a 12-day aerial and covert campaign.

Fresh off a joint military operation targeting Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, U.S. President Donald Trump has ignited a political firestorm in Israel by calling for the immediate cancellation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ongoing corruption trial. In a forceful Truth Social post Wednesday night, Trump blasted the proceedings as a “ridiculous Witch Hunt” against a “Great War Time Prime Minister.”

U.S. President Donald J. Trump warned Wednesday that conflict between Israel and Iran could soon reignite while comforting a Ukrainian reporter who was close to tears when expressing concern about the war in her country.

Israel’s military and intelligence leadership are expressing confidence that Iran’s nuclear program has been significantly disrupted following a series of U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on key nuclear sites, though officials caution that the full impact of the campaign is still being assessed.

Seven Israeli soldiers were killed Tuesday when their armored combat engineering vehicle was struck by an explosive device in the southern Gaza Strip city of Khan Younis–marking one of the deadliest incidents for Israeli forces in months.

The Israeli government on Tuesday morning confirmed its agreement to a ceasefire with Iran, brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump, following what officials called the successful conclusion of “Operation Rising Lion.” Israeli leaders declared that the military campaign had met and exceeded its goals, though fresh missile attacks from Iran threatened to undermine the fragile truce.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump was on his way to the NATO military alliance summit in the Netherlands after saying he was “really unhappy” with Iran and Israel after at least four people were killed and over 20 injured in an Iranian missile strike in southern Israel.

At least four people were killed when an Iranian missile struck a residential building in the southern city of Beersheva early Tuesday, just hours after an announced ceasefire, emergency medical services said.

In a powerful message to Iran’s leadership, Israel announced Monday that it had successfully destroyed the so-called “Israel doomsday clock” during a wave of precision strikes deep inside Tehran. The clock, a provocative symbol of Iran’s long-standing calls for Israel’s destruction, was targeted alongside key regime and security sites as part of Israel’s intensifying military campaign.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on Sunday that Israel is operating at “full tilt” in both Iran and Gaza, as joint U.S.-Israeli military actions continue to target Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and Hamas strongholds. In a prerecorded address, Netanyahu vowed that Israel would not be drawn into a prolonged conflict but would press on until its strategic objectives are met.

More than 20 people were injured in Israel early Sunday as Iran pounded the Jewish nation with missiles after the United States destroyed three Iranian nuclear sites.

Israel’s defense minister says the military killed two overseas commanders of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including Saeed Izadi, who helped “finance and arm Hamas” for the October 7, 2023, massacre.

Israel is pouring unprecedented sums into its simultaneous wars in Gaza and against Iran, spending billions of dollars at a pace that is shaking the foundations of its economy. The twin conflicts have driven military and civilian expenditures to levels not seen in decades, placing extraordinary strain on public finances and raising alarms about the country’s financial future.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced Thursday that Iran has, for the first time during the ongoing conflict, launched a ballistic missile equipped with a cluster bomb warhead toward Israeli territory. The unprecedented attack caused significant injuries and damage across several cities, including Beersheba, Ramat Gan, Holon, and Azor.

President Donald Trump said that the coming days will be critical as he considers whether to order U.S. military involvement in the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
