Missile attacks from Iran and rocket attacks from Lebanon continued to strike Israeli cities and towns overnight and this morning. Injuries were reported in Kafr Qassem, a large Arab town in central Israel, West Bank, and Haifa suburb from Iranian illegal cluster munitions. The size of this missile can be seen well, below in picture of a debris from a ballistic missile fired from Iran toward Israel that fell outside the Palestinian village of Beitin, northeast of Ramallah. 📸 Flash90

‼️Hezbollah has launched ~120 rockets from within the city of Tyre, Lebanon Hezbollah has deliberately embedded itself and its terrorist infrastructure near Lebanese civilian populations, using them as human shields and endangering the lives of residents.

9/ 🇮🇱 Israeli officials remain sceptical regarding the prospects of an agreement along the lines of either proposal. To the extent one can be reached, Israel is concerned that the implementation will run along the lines of ceasefires with Hamas and Hezbollah, with the major steps called for in the beginning carried out in full, but with the provisions regarding disarmament dragging on to the point where attention lags, urgency fades, and the threat to renew hostilities in light of violations becomes ineffective. END/

8/ These demands include: 🔹Turning the Strait of Hormuz into an Iranian-managed passageway where Iran would collect fees, similar to the Suez Canal — though of course, the Suez Canal artificial and located inside Egypt and the Strait of Hormuz in an international waterway. 🔹Guarantees that neither Israel nor the US could attack Iran again, together with a guarantee that Israel could not attack Lebanon. 🔹The lifting of all sanctions on Iran, not just those related to the nuclear programme. 🔹Permitting Iran to keep and develop ballistic missiles with no limitations.

What do we know so far about the US-Iran negotiations? 🧵 A short thread.

A Hezbollah rocket killed an Israeli woman in northern Israel yesterday. Nuriel Dubin, aged 27, was in her car when a rocket struck the Mahanayim Junction. Her fiancé was injured in the attack. The two had met in the immediate aftermath of the October 7 attack when he was evacuated from his home to a hotel in the Kinneret area where she worked as a teacher. Since Hezbollah entered the war on March 2, the Iran-backed terrorist group in Lebanon has been launching an average of 150 rockets a day. Some of its barrages have been timed with Iranian missile attacks on Israel’s north as well. Over the same period, according to official Israeli figures, the IDF has killed 600 Hezbollah combatants, including 220 of the group’s elite Radwan Force. In the most significant diplomatic development on Israeli northern border, Lebanon has expelled the Iranian ambassador yesterday and withdrawn their own ambassador from Tehran. This a further escalation of tensions between the two countries, following the expulsion of Iranian military personnel last week. 📸 David Cohen/Flash90

BREAKING: 🇱🇧 Lebanon expelled Iranian ambassador and recalled its own ambassador from Tehran. Iran backs the Shia terrorist group Hezbollah, which operates from Lebanon, wields significant influence over Lebanese politics, and exercises control over parts of the country.

🇬🇧🇮🇱 President @Isaac_Herzog addressing the attacks in the UK: “I spoke with the leaders of Hatzola Northwest London and the Community Security Trust in the UK to express my deep shock and concern following the antisemitic arson attack on Hatzola ambulances outside a synagogue in Golders Green, London. “Britain's Jewish community is one of the oldest and most vibrant in Europe, and it must be able to live, pray, and thrive in safety and security. “On behalf of the State of Israel, I send a message of strength and solidarity to our sisters and brothers in the British Jewish community. We in Israel care for every Jew everywhere in the world and embrace you at this difficult moment. We will continue to stand together shoulder-to-shoulder with you in the critical fight against antisemitism.”

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump has just announced that the US and Iran have had “very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East”, and said that, on that basis, he instructed the Department of War to postpone strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for five days.

As confirmed by @TheStudyofWar, the Iranian regime possesses ballistic missiles capable of reaching London and much of the UK 🇬🇧. Alongside its subversive activities across Western countries, this underscores the level of threat posed by the theocratic Islamic regime.

Iranian attacks on southern Israel wounded around 175 people. The strikes hit civilian areas in Arad and Dimona. Under international law, the deliberate targeting of civilians constitutes a war crime. 📸 Destroyed residential buildings in Dimona and Arad. Chaim Goldberg/Flash90
