The Day Netanyahu Held His First War Press Conference

Morning coverage continued the pattern of continuous combined rocket barrages from Iran and Lebanon targeting multiple Israeli regions, with sirens from north to south and no casualties reported. Early afternoon editorial focus shifted to the IDF's admission of a warning failure regarding Hezbollah's heavy barrage and its decision to hold off on a full-scale invasion of Lebanon. Evening editorial priority centered on Prime Minister Netanyahu's first press conference since the war began, where he outlined war goals of crippling Iran's nuclear and missile programs while acknowledging uncertainty about regime change, as renewed Iranian missile fire triggered sirens during the briefing.
