02:13โขIsrael Strikes Tehran After Fifth Iranian Barrage
โจThe newspapers report Iran launched another nighttime missile barrage of approximately 5 projectiles toward central Israel, with most intercepted by air defenses and no casualties reported, though interceptor debris caused a fire on a building roof in Holon (Davar, Haaretz, Israel Hayom, Maariv, Mako, n12, Ynet, walla). Israel immediately retaliated with airstrikes targeting missile storage and launch facilities in Tehran, Isfahan, and Parchin using about 15 fighter jets (Davar, Maariv, Mako, Ynet, walla). The White House indicated Trump will decide within two weeks whether to join Israeli strikes against Iran, with Trump stating it's "hard to stop Israel right now" (Davar, walla). Israeli military leadership acknowledges preparation for a prolonged campaign against Iran, with Iranian military commanders reportedly hiding underground fearing assassinations while their proxy networks suffer defeats (13tv, INN, now14).
