The day's dominant story was the abrupt halt of an anticipated massive US strike on Iran. After 13 consecutive nights of attacks, Israeli media reported high readiness for a dramatic overnight operation, but by morning it was clear no strike had occurred. Editors focused on President Trump's hesitation, with headlines describing him as 'still debating' and 'buying time' while Iran sought to delay. The narrative shifted from imminent escalation to diplomatic possibility, as Trump signaled openness to listening. Concurrently, violence in the West Bank intensified: a deadly settler-Palestinian clash the previous day led to IDF raids, new outpost establishment, and a weapon theft in the Hebron Hills, with warnings of a broader explosion. By evening, US aircraft were reportedly en route to Israel, keeping the Iran story alive.
