Sirens were heard in the Gulf as reports describe attacks by the Revolutionary Guards in Bahrain and Kuwait in response to American strikes against Iran.
In US Military Role, US soldiers are swimming in a kibbutz pool, and residents can only watch: 'Blow to our quality of life'
Residents are outraged over the pool’s closure to civilians following a directive from the US embassy calling for a complete separation between soldiers and civilians; the pool is described as essential to the fabric of life here.
WATCH: The US military released footage of strikes targeting Iranian military sites near the Strait of Hormuz. US Central Command says Navy and Air Force fighter jets struck 10 targets tied to Iran's military infrastructure after Tehran launched a one-way drone attack on a commercial tanker. The operation marks the latest US response as tensions persist in the strategic waterway despite the US-Iran ceasefire agreement.
In US Military Role, the reported strikes near the Strait of Hormuz followed Tehran’s drone attack on a commercial vessel, with officials noting ten Iranian military targets were hit by naval and air forces.
In Regional Impacts, Israel, Lebanon agreement is push for peace, but needs to face reality to prosper - editorial
On paper, the trilateral agreement among Israel, Lebanon, and the United States signals hope for peace, but the on‑the‑ground test remains uncertain. The framework allows the IDF to stay deployed in southern Lebanon pending verified disarmament of non-state armed groups and the dismantlement of related infrastructure, while two initial pilot zones would be handed back to the Lebanese Armed Forces to facilitate civilian return. The arrangement gives the LAF a test case: can Lebanese authorities keep Hezbollah out once the IDF withdraws? UN Security Council Resolution 1701 was meant to keep Hezbollah north of the Litani, but Hezbollah has rebuilt in the two decades since, and Israeli officials have voiced frustration over Lebanese forces’ performance.
In the Regional Impacts section, the editorial notes that the trilateral deal aims to reduce tensions on the border but faces questions about Hezbollah’s posture and the effectiveness of Lebanese authorities in enforcing disarmament.
In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, ELIMINATED: Walid Haniyeh, the Deputy Commander of a Nukhba company in Hamas’ military wing. Haniyeh commanded the infiltration of a terrorist cell into Israeli territory during the October 7 Massacre. Additionally, he attempted to operate to recruit additional terrorists to Hamas and commanded the military training of the Nukbah company under his command.
Defense Minister Israel Katz called the Israel-Lebanon deal "historic," saying it could create a safer reality along the northern border for the first time in decades. Katz said the IDF will remain in Lebanon's security zone, including the Beaufort Castle ridge, and will not withdraw as long as Hezbollah remains armed. He called the agreement a strategic blow to Iran and warned that if Tehran attacks Israel to block the deal, Israel will respond with great force.
