Original report:
Over Shabbos, a dramatic military escalation unfolded as the United States and Israel launched coordinated strikes on targets deep inside Iran, marking one of the most serious confrontations in decades between Tehran, Jerusalem, and Washington.
GET UPDATES AND ON TLS COMMUNITIES
In the early hours of Shabbos morning, Israeli and American forces carried out air and missile strikes on Iranian military and strategic infrastructure, including missile facilities and other security targets in Tehran and additional cities. Officials said the operation was designed to significantly degrade Iran’s ability to threaten Israel and the region.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strikes were necessary to confront what he described as an existential threat posed by Iran’s military buildup and nuclear ambitions.
U.S. President Donald Trump said American forces participated to protect U.S. personnel and interests in the region and to eliminate what he called immediate and growing threats from the Iranian regime. Trump confirmed that Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has been killed in the strikes, calling it “justice for the people of Iran” and a major blow to the Iranian leadership that he said gives Iranians their “greatest chance” to take back their country. Iran has not independently confirmed the report and state media has disputed claims about Khamenei’s death.

In response to the strikes, Iran launched retaliatory missile and drone attacks toward Israel and U.S. assets in the region. During those exchanges, an apartment complex in Tel Aviv was directly hit, injuring multiple people and causing severe damage.
Throughout Shabbos, multiple sirens sounded across Israel, including in central and northern areas, as air defense systems intercepted incoming threats. Residents were instructed to enter protected spaces as alerts were activated several times during the day. Israeli authorities indicated that additional rounds of fire remain possible as the situation continues to unfold.

Baruch hashem!
Just wait until he starts demanding the Nobel Peace Prize again, for ending a tenth war.
What’s your point?
That he is full of hot air?
That you need an explanation, explains a lot
💯 💯 💯
“Someone” rather “nobody”
Did I offend your dear leader?
Cry more.
How did you know I was crying? Lol. I apologize if I offended your dear leader.
Stop making arguments
he deserves it
I agree with you that Joe Biden was thee greatest President in our nations history. It’s ironic that a black female (Kamala) kicked him out of office. Joe should really be the President now. He definitely would of had diplomacy and Iran would of laid down their arms without having to fire a single shot.
9 people did not realize the sarcasm
And I agree with you that the sky is purple. That’s definitely what I said. I also definitely said how much I like pickles.
And whoever gave your comment a thumbs up should get a mental evaluation ASAP.
so crazy
mazal tov
Why are there red pins all over the map?
Those are all the places that have Tzeva Edom, air raid sirens
Now that I see I have a downvote for a factual question and answer, not an opinion, I now realize that someone is indeed coming on here and making sure every comment has at least one downvote, as I have wondered in the past, but this would seem to show that for sure.
True!
Ding Dong the Wicked Witch is DEAD!
Trump is still alive.
Stop making arguments
Wish there were more people like you! Whoever gave down votes to him can you kindly explain why? You want arguments?
it’s
ממש לא על פי דרך הטבע
The Russia Ukraine war is in it’s 5th year and this war is about a few days.
Similar to the miracle on Purim.
How do we know he’s really dead? Just because our beloved government says so? He’s probably hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein and Osama bin Laden in Monaco.
seems Iran now admitted it
That Amaleik lived much too long; he should’ve been blown up 86 years ago together with his parents. Better late than never.
Unfortunately today 9 fatalities in Beit Shemesh with many injured.
Hashem should send all the injured a
רפואה שלמה.
To all the families that lost a family member:
המקום ינחם אתכם בתוך שאר אבילי ציון וירושלים

During the days of King Achav, Klal Yisroel went into battle and not even one Yid got injured. Chazal explained to us that secret how is it possible that no one died or got injured.
They were at peace with each other.
No one was saying any type of Lashon HaRah. They all got along with each other.
3 US service personnel killed today, lets not forget about them.
When I typed my comment, there was no news yet about the 3 US personnel. I didn’t hear about it yet.
You are 💯 percent correct!!! We must pray for all our American soldiers in harm’s way, may they all return home safely!!!
Good lesson. Also, Rav Amnon Yitzhak points out that the army of the Medina can maybe fight, but they cannot protect.
No mention of the three Americans killed in the action and the dozens injured?
So much for the peace president. Naturally none of his fortunate sons will serve in the US armed forces.
A President that ignores Iran’s propagation of terror is not a ‘peace president’ any more than past leaders who ignored the evil deeds of despotic, blood-thirsty leaders throughout history. Presidents and heads of states who have the guts and the moral clarity to fight back and destroy the purveyors of terror and bloodshed ultimately, over time, bring peace to the world, not the ones who see everything backwards and immorally, and not those express their self righteous, perverted, twisted sense of morality in comment sections online.
You should probably get that TDS looked at by a professional.
You should probably too. TDS= Trump Denialism Syndrome.
Yeh. Better that the white racist Trump sit on his hands and let your Jewish brothers and sisters get slaughtered like worthless sheep. He should of let the Iranian Mullahs continue to support and fund Hamas, Hizbolla, Islamic Jehad, Mamdani etc…. Maybe you’ll be next. We can only hope.
Iran is funding Mamdani?! Are you alright?
I assume you’re being sarcastic but what you wrote that “maybe you’ll be next.” is absolutely wrong. You can disagree with someone but some talk is unacceptable. Oh by the way; the rest of your comment though is a great response (I’m serious) if it’s sarcasm.
I HAVE 2 QUESTIONS FOR YOU:
1) WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HAD SOMETHING POSITIVE TO POST IN THE COMMENTS?
2) LETTING A REGIME THAT’S CAUSED MANY WARS STAY IN POWER IS CALLED PEACE? IF YOU GET RID OF THEM THERE WON’T BE ANY FUNDING TO THEIR PROXIES, AND THEN THERE WON’T BE WAR IN GAZA OR LEBANON.
