19:05 (16:05)โขNetanyahu Claims Bar Failed To Alert On October 7
โจThe newspapers extensively cover Netanyahu's affidavit to the Supreme Court regarding Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar's dismissal. Netanyahu claims Bar failed to warn about October 7, recommended avoiding assassinations while strengthening Gaza's economy, and did not wake government officials that morning (Davar, Israel Hayom, Makor Rishon, Ynet, Kipa, 13tv, Haaretz, INN, Kan, Maariv, n12, kikar). Notably, Netanyahu does not explicitly deny asking Bar to obey him rather than the Supreme Court during a constitutional crisis (Israel Hayom, Ynet, Haaretz). Separately, Israel conducted an airstrike targeting high-quality Hezbollah weapons in Beirut's Dahieh neighborhood after issuing evacuation warnings (Jerusalem Post, Mako, Times).
