Explosions were heard in northern Tehran after US President Donald Trump called for all Israeli fighter jets to leave Iran's airspace.
IDF sources have confirmed to The Jerusalem Post that the air force did in fact strike one radar north of Tehran. A symbolic strike to straddle the need to respond to Iran's attack on the North, while respecting Trump's demand to do nothing or at most respond symbolically.
Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered strikes in Tehran after Iran launched two missiles at northern Israel, hours after the ceasefire had taken effect.
"I have instructed the IDF to respond forcefully to Iran's violation of the ceasefire with intense strikes against regime targets in the heart of Tehran," Katz said in a stat...

President Donald Trump lashed out at Israel on Tuesday after Iran broke the ceasefire he brokered between the two countries.
According to the President, "Israel unloaded a lot, and now I just heard that Israel went out because they felt it (the ceasefire) was violated by one rocket that didn't land anywhere. That's not what we want, I tell you that."
While speaking with the press before leaving for the NATO summit, Trump expressed his frustrations, stating: "I'm not happy with Israel either."
He added: "I gotta get Israel to calm down now."
The President claimed that both Israel and Iran violated the ceasefire, but noted: "I don't think they did it intentionally, they couldn't bring people back.

A federal judge in Tennessee denied the U.S. Department of Justice’s request to keep Kilmar Abrego Garica detained pretrial, but he will likely remain in immigration custody anyway.
The ruling came after a June 13 hearing where Abrego Garcia, a Salvadorian citizen, pleaded not guilty to human smuggling charges stemming from a 2022 traffic stop when Tennessee Highway Patrol suspected human smuggling, but didn’t charge him with anything.
Abrego Garcia was brought back to the United States from El Salvador in early June following a months-long public debate over whether the Trump Administration was going to follow court orders to facilitate his return.
In March, Abrego Garcia was deported to El Salvador. Later attorneys from the Trump Administration admitted in court documents ...

Dear Mr. President:
We write on behalf of Agudath Israel of America, a 103-year-old national Orthodox Jewish organization, to convey our heartfelt appreciation to you for the bold and decisive actions you took on Saturday to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear bomb.

Message from a Doctor From Soroka Hospital
“How many times can one woman say Birkat HaGomel?” That’s what Dr. Yehudit Nachum said to me this past Shabbat.
I had come to speak to the Scanning and Recovery Unit of Division 98—the IDF unit responsible for locating and identifying the victims of October 7th—as part of a Shabbat of strengthening for bereaved families. Dr. Nachum is the wife of company commander Eliran. She had just recited Birkat HaGomel and looked familiar. I approached her, and here is the story she told me, in her own words:
“We’re from Moshav Shokeda, right next to Kibbutz Be’eri. On October 7th 2023, my husband was called up for reserve duty early in the morning, and I stayed home with our five children—t...
