June

The day began with the death of Staff Sergeant Adam Tzarfati from a Hezbollah drone in southern Lebanon, the 14th soldier killed since the ceasefire. In response, Netanyahu and Katz ordered strikes on Beirut's Dahieh district, effectively ending the truce. Mass panic and evacuations followed in Beirut. Iran threatened to attack northern Israel if Dahieh was struck, and froze nuclear talks with the US. By afternoon, massive haredi protests against draft dodger arrests blocked highways and trains nationwide, with clashes at a senior officer's home. In the evening, after a call with Netanyahu, Trump announced a new ceasefire: Hezbollah would stop firing and Israel would not enter Beirut, canceling the planned strike. Later, Captain Dr. Uri Yosef Silvester was killed by another Hezbollah drone.

The day was dominated by reports of a heated phone call between President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu, in which Trump allegedly called Netanyahu 'crazy' and 'ungrateful,' claiming he would be in prison without him. The call occurred as Trump declared a Lebanon ceasefire, halting an Israeli strike on Beirut. Despite the ceasefire, Hezbollah rocket fire continued into the night. By morning, editors framed the call as exposing Netanyahu's bluff. In the afternoon, Roman Gofman was inaugurated as Mossad chief, vowing to end the Iranian regime. Later, the IDF captured Beaufort Castle in southern Lebanon, and Brig. Gen. Israel Shomer resigned amid a moral offenses investigation.

The day was dominated by two parallel crises. In the Knesset, the election of a new state comptroller descended into chaos when Likud MKs were pressured to photograph their secret ballots for coalition candidate Michael Rabilo, Netanyahu's personal lawyer. After a first-round stalemate and a suspended second round, Rabilo was ultimately elected, prompting accusations of a corrupted process. Simultaneously, dozens of Haredi protesters attacked the home of Supreme Court Justice Noam Sohlberg, smashing windows and vandalizing property in protest over draft-dodger arrests; over 50 were detained. These domestic upheavals overshadowed ongoing security developments: US-Iran clashes in the Gulf, an Iranian missile strike on Kuwait's airport, and Hezbollah drone fire at Kiryat Shmona.

The day began with reports of a US-brokered Israel-Lebanon ceasefire conditioned on Hezbollah's withdrawal north of the Litani River. By early afternoon, Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem rejected the truce as 'humiliating,' vowing continued attacks. Rocket and drone fire persisted, including a drone strike near Northern Command chief Rafi Milo's vehicle and a warning in Shlomi during Netanyahu's visit. In the evening, Captain Eitan Shmuel Lemberg was killed by an anti-tank missile north of the Litani, dominating late headlines. Other stories included the haredi rampage at Justice Sohlberg's home, a car bombing on the Ayalon Highway, and Netanyahu's appointment of Brig. Gen. Guy Markizano as military secretary.

The day's dominant story was the revelation that Israel secretly deployed commando and intelligence units to Azerbaijan during the Iran war, with bases reportedly less than 100 km from Tabriz. This appeared across outlets from morning (Walla, N12, Kikar Hashabbat, Kipa, 13tv) through afternoon (Jerusalem Post), overshadowing other threads. Trump's claim that Iran's uranium is 'entombed' and accessible without a deal recurred in overnight and morning headlines but faded by midday. In the afternoon, two IDF officers were seriously wounded in southern Lebanon, and Lebanese President Aoun criticized Hezbollah and Iran. By evening, stalled US-Iran talks and Haredi riots in Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh drew attention, but the Azerbaijan deployment remained the day's editorial priority.

The day was dominated by two internal-security stories. In the afternoon, multiple outlets reported that Israel had spied on senior Trump administration officials, including envoy Steve Witkoff, during Iran nuclear negotiations. This came as the Pentagon raised Israel's espionage threat level to 'critical.' Almost simultaneously, new Mossad chief Roman Gofman dismissed his deputy, A., just four days into his term, a move covered across the media as a leadership shake-up. Earlier, US-Iran hostilities continued: overnight US strikes on Iranian radar sites prompted Iranian missile and drone attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain, with Trump claiming Iran retained only 21% missile capacity. In the West Bank, settler rampages in Huwara, including an IDF soldier filmed beating Palestinians, drew condemnation. By evening, two IDF soldiers were reported killed in separate incidents in southern Lebanon.

The day began with a rolling terror shooting in the Sharon region, killing reservist Haim Kalomiti and wounding five. By midday, Israel struck Hezbollah command posts in Beirut's Dahiyeh in response to earlier rocket fire, defying Trump's prior warnings. Iran then launched multiple salvos of ballistic missiles at northern Israel, all intercepted, prompting nationwide school cancellations. Trump publicly urged Netanyahu not to retaliate, saying he would call him to demand restraint. Israeli officials vowed a forceful response, while Iran claimed the attack was over unless provoked. The media narrative shifted from ceasefire violations to direct Iran-Israel confrontation and US pressure.

The day began with Israel launching airstrikes on military targets and a petrochemical plant in Iran, defying Trump's public plea not to retaliate for earlier Iranian missile fire. By morning, Iran responded with multiple salvos at central and northern Israel, while Houthis fired from Yemen. As the exchange continued, Trump demanded an immediate ceasefire and warned Netanyahu that Israel would be left alone if it escalated. By early afternoon, Israeli officials confirmed halting strikes on Iran at Trump's request, though operations in southern Lebanon persisted. Iran announced a unilateral halt, conditioning it on no Israeli strikes in Lebanon. Netanyahu later declared the fire 'contained for now,' but media focused on Trump's ultimatum and the limited scope of Israel's response, framing it as a climbdown.
