The day began with coverage of the US-Iran naval clash in the Strait of Hormuz, where US ships transited under Iranian fire and retaliated with strikes on Iranian military and oil facilities. Trump insisted the ceasefire remains in effect, calling the attacks 'love taps.' By mid-morning, Hezbollah launched rockets and drones at northern Israel in response to the assassination of the Radwan Force commander, wounding three IDF soldiers. The IDF prepared for further fire and struck launchers in Lebanon. In the afternoon, the US struck empty oil tankers violating the blockade in Hormuz, while awaiting Iran's response to a proposal. Reports indicated Iran's nuclear facilities were severely damaged. Domestically, a major espionage case emerged with four Israelis arrested for spying for Iran.
