Overnight reports claimed Iran's missile strike on a US base in Jordan damaged eight F-15s, as Trump threatened to strike the Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site and aides warned the war could last until 2029.
By midday the focus moved to Iranian rearmament: the IAEA chief confirmed construction activity at Pickaxe Mountain, and US sources said Tehran resumed underground ballistic-missile production with maneuverable warheads after attempts on US warships. Parallel coverage tracked Houthi seizure of Mocha near Bab al-Mandab and British consideration of sanctions on Israeli banks over settlements.
On the domestic front, closed Knesset lists produced surplus agreements pairing Eisenkot with Golan and Bennett with Lieberman.
In the evening all outlets turned to southern Lebanon, where the IDF detonated 5.4 km of Hezbollah tunnels on the Ali Taher ridge, with Netanyahu warning of more to come and forces on high alert for Iranian retaliation.
