Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited an Israeli Air Force base and issued a warning to Israel's enemies. He emphasized the military's readiness to strike: "Do not test us. You will absorb blows harder than any you have absorbed until today."

The IDF said it carried out a targeted strike in Beirut a short while ago. Earlier, the military confirmed it had expanded its operations in Lebanon, hitting dozens of Hezbollah targets in the Beqaa Valley and southern Lebanon, including launch sites, a training camp, and other terror infrastructure.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir spoke at the ceremony welcoming the strategic refueling aircraft "Gideon" to Nevatim Airbase, the first of six purchased in the U.S., and addressed the Iranian front: "The evil structure of the ayatollah regime has been significantly cracked."

The deal is valued at more than 100 million shekels and will let 'Adir' jets stay aloft longer without aerial refueling.

The IDF is pressing its campaign in southern Lebanon and preparing for possible escalation. Newly released footage from a 401st Brigade tank shows a Hezbollah operative eliminated after he watched Israeli troops with observation gear.

Boeing’s KC-46, the first of six tankers headed to the Israeli Air Force, has completed its U.S. test flight ahead of delivery in about a month — a key step in the IDF’s long-range build-up.

Arrested by the Israel Police, Shin Bet, and military investigators, the soldiers allegedly documented bases and shared fighter-jet system details with Iranian handlers for cash, prosecutors say.

Dedi Barnea responds to reports claiming the agency misled U.S. President Donald Trump into thinking Iran’s regime would collapse in the war’s opening days, and says Mossad operated in the heart of Tehran and delivered precise intelligence to the Israeli Air Force.

Lebanese reports say a 'foreign ship' intercepted a ballistic missile aimed at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut. The Israeli Air Force says it struck in western Iran, destroying a loaded launcher prepared to fire at Israel; the IDF and Shin Bet say they also killed a 'Quds Force' operative near Beirut.

The IDF says intense air and ground operations are ongoing in southern Lebanon. Over the last 24 hours, more than 20 Hezbollah terrorists were killed, military infrastructure was destroyed, and a cache of weapons was located and confiscated.

IDF says stealth F-35 shot down a manned YAK-130 in combat, marking the first confirmed air-to-air kill by the aircraft worldwide
