Israel hits military targets in Iran
Still pending : Arrest warrant for Netanyahu
The worst part of the whole mess is that what’s done cannot be on done; but both Iran and Israel believe in the resurrection
It’s significant that Israel’s face-saving strikes - obviously limited - thank God, were carried out on the holy days between Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah according to the Hebrew Calendar corresponding exactly to the Hamas Strikes of 7th October, 2023
According to the Islamic Calendar this Friday - Saturday are 21 -22 of Rabi Al Awwal
Hopefully this tit-for-tat round of escalation is over, because should Iran decide to reply with the much, much greater force of which they are capable, then if we have been listening to War Echo Zone it would seem that Israel is the brink of total annihilation
Divide and rule : For now, NATO’s Turkey is probably out of the “ axis of resistance” since they are at war with PKK, probably determined to go after PKK, the way that Israel's still going after Hamas and Hezbollah
First, we want to update you on the latest from the Middle East. The Israeli military struck Iran overnight, in response to the barrage of missiles that Iran had fired at Israel this month.
Israel’s attack seemed limited, and Iranian officials appeared to downplay the impact. The combination made it unclear whether the fighting between the two countries would expand — or whether Iran would choose not to respond. The White House expressed support for Israel, describing the attack as proportionate, and said it should be the end of military exchanges.
Israel said it had targeted air defense systems and long-range missile production sites in Iran, as well as sites in Syria and Iraq. Two Iranian soldiers were killed, according to Iran’s military. By midmorning, life in Tehran looked normal, people in the city said. Children were in school, and adults had gone to work.
We have much more coverage on our website. Here’s how the attack unfolded. And we recommend this analysis by Patrick Kingsley, our Jerusalem bureau chief. Now over to Melissa Kirsch for our normal Saturday newsletter.
