The day was dominated by the discovery of the Altalena shipwreck, 78 years after it was sunk, with extensive coverage across all outlets. The story was framed as a historic and emotional event, with Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir clashing over separate statements and Ben-Gvir's jibe about being shunned. Netanyahu also revealed an Iranian assassination attempt on one of his sons, a claim made in a Channel 14 interview, with many outlets noting the information was previously censored. Concurrently, the US announced new sanctions on Iran, which Israel Hayom called 'economic D-Day,' and i24NEWS reported an Israeli ultimatum to stop kites before expanding Gaza strikes. Haredi protests over a draft dodger's arrest blocked major roads.
