Morning coverage was dominated by a rare moment of national pride as Deni Avdija became the first Israeli to play in the NBA All-Star game. However, this respite was brief. By late morning, editorial focus shifted to the declassification of a military investigation revealing that Hamas used WhatsApp emoji sequences as the final signal for the October 7 attacks. In the afternoon, domestic reports highlighted a breakdown in internal security, focusing on a triple homicide in the Arab sector and the escalating 'battle of versions' between the IDF and police over the previous day's unrest in Bnei Brak. Simultaneously, the arrest of an Israeli citizen for allegedly spying on Yoav Gallant for Iran intensified the focus on internal subversion. By evening, the agenda transitioned to regional brinkmanship. Editors prioritized the deployment of 18 U.S. F-35s to the region as a signal of military readiness should nuclear talks in Geneva fail, while IDF strikes in Lebanon were framed as preparations for a direct confrontation with Iran.
