WHEN ARE THE 500 MILLION MIGRATING BIRDS IN ISRAEL IN THE SPRING TIME.(GET READY ISLAM TO BE BIRD SEED FOR THESE BIRDS)
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/m0bXU5Xqc5M
The 500 million migratory birds in Israel during the spring arrive from Africa and head toward Europe and Asia, with the peak migration occurring in March and April. While migration starts in late February, the most intense movements, particularly of birds of prey, storks, and pelicans, occur during the third week of March and continue into April.
Key Details on the Spring Migration
Peak Period: Mid-March through April.
Main Migration Route: The birds use the Great Rift Valley, which includes the Hula Valley and Eilat, acting as a "bottleneck" where millions of birds fly through the narrow land bridge.
Best Spots: The Hula Lake Park (Northern Israel) and the Eilat Birding Center (Southern Israel) are primary locations for observing the migration.
Key Species: Hundreds of thousands of white storks, along with black kites, raptors, and pelicans, pass through over these months.
uration: The spring migration runs from late February and continues into June, though the heaviest traffic is in March/April.
The 500 million migratory birds fly over Israel in the fall between late August and mid-December. The peak migration period for the autumn, when the highest volume of bird traffic occurs, is typically October and November.
Key Fall Migration Details
Location: The Hula Valley (Agamon Hula Park) in northern Israel is the premier spot to witness this phenomenon.
Timing: Migration starts as early as late June with some waders, but intensifies from mid-August through November.
Peak Festival: The "Annual Hula Valley Bird Festival" is usually held in November to align with the peak migration traffic.
Key Species: Many birds of prey (raptors), including honey buzzards and steppe eagles, cross during this time, along with massive flocks of storks and cranes.
While roughly 500 million birds pass through in the autumn on their way to Africa, the same number crosses again in the spring (mid-February to May) on their way back to Europe and Asia.

Says Mossad recruited many Iranians who 'hate the regime'Iranian regime will fall sooner or later, but US stopped war too early, ex-Mossad agent says-Israeli plan to bring down the regime was interrupted by the US decision to halt fighting, says ‘Aleph,’ a former senior official; dismisses reported US criticism that the agency’s plan was ‘farcical’ and ‘bullshit’By Rossella Tercatin-7 June 2026, 12:30 am
A plan developed by Israel and the Mossad intelligence agency to topple the Iranian regime could still succeed if given time, but it has not been carried out to completion due to the United States’ decision in April to halt the war against the Islamic Republic, a former senior Mossad official told Channel 12 on Saturday. In any event, he insisted, the regime will fall sooner or later.“We didn’t try all the way — we were stopped along the way,” said the ex-Mossad official, identified only as “Aleph,” who retired last year. “This is a multi-stage plan that has been prepared over time and has been paused for the time being. In this war, we went out with a partner, a strategic power that at some point stopped the fighting, but these stages started and developed, including the use of Kurdish partners, with the goal of replacing the regime.”According to Channel 12, Aleph served in the Mossad for almost 30 years, rising to senior leadership, until he retired last year upon realizing he would not be considered for the agency’s top position. In December, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appointed his military secretary, Roman Gofman, as the new Mossad director to replace David Barnea. Gofman entered his role on Tuesday, after months of legal challenges and controversies.Asked about a New York Times report according to which CIA Director John Ratcliffe and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio described Israel’s plan for toppling the Iranian regime as “farcical” and “bullshit” after Netanyahu and Barnea presented it to US President Donald Trump, Aleph pointed out that the US officials did not have his 28 years of experience working in the Mossad.“It’s a pity that they don’t have that experience, but [the plan] was certainly not bullshit and not farcical,” he maintained. “In the Mossad, imagination becomes reality.”Aleph expressed hope that the next stages of the operational plan would be authorized at some point.“A plan like this is a long-term plan that can take a long time, and you have to persevere in all its stages,” he noted.Despite the plan not being carried out to fruition, the former Mossad official appeared to believe that the conditions had been created so that eventually the regime would lose power.“Whether it will fall in six months or in three years, I cannot predict, but there is no doubt that this regime will fall,” he said.In the interview, Aleph described how, during the twelve-day war against the Islamic Republic in June 2025, the Mossad operated in Iran in ways that would have been unthinkable even a few years before.“It was an operational military unit working according to advanced operational training, with weapons, night vision devices, and the ability to guide missiles, inside Iran,” he said. “This is something we couldn’t have seen six years ago. This is the great revolution that has taken place in the Mossad [under Barnea].”According to Aleph, the Mossad stepped up recruitment, training, and trust in agents from enemy countries in recent years, relying on them to carry out operations that previously would have been entrusted only to Israeli agents.Agents from an enemy country may decide to work for Israel for several reasons, including personal gains or fear of personal secrets like extra-marital affairs being exposed.In Iran, many are motivated by their opposition to the regime.“Many of them hate the regime, hate what is being imposed on them, hate what is happening to their daughters and their wives,” Aleph said. “For some, it’s a sense of revenge for things that happened to their families.”Aleph did not deny that Iranians might have been brought to Israel for training.Asked about whether Israel knows anything about the condition of the new Iranian supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, the official said he would be “very surprised if Israel did not know precisely what his situation is.”Khamenei has not been seen or heard in public since being wounded in strikes that killed his father and predecessor, Ali Khamenei, on the first day of the US-Israeli war with Iran on February 28.Analysis-Trump ties Israel’s hands, as the partnership that went to war 100 days ago collapses-Telling Israel it had better not respond to an Iranian missile attack, the US president, desperate for a deal with the devilish regime, presents Netanyahu with a terrible dilemma By David Horovitz-8 June 2026, 2:53 amOne hundred days after they went to war together to thwart Iran’s rogue nuclear weapons program, radically degrade its ballistic missile industry, end its support for the Hezbollah and Hamas terror armies, and create the conditions for the fall of the regime, the US-Israel alliance against the Islamic Republic on Sunday reached its nadir.With the north battered relentlessly by Hezbollah in recent weeks, Israel resorted to a largely symbolic strike on the terror group’s Dahiyeh stronghold in Beirut, reportedly without telling the disapproving Trump administration ahead of time that it was doing so.And, as it had warned it would, Iran responded by firing about 10 missiles at northern Israel — again sending that sector of the country rushing to bomb shelters, though causing no injuries or damage.But as Israel prepared to “respond forcefully” against Iran, in the words of an unnamed senior Israeli official, US President Donald Trump ordered it to think again.Before he had even spoken to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his partner of 100 days ago, the president was telling his favorite Israeli journalist, Barak Ravid, that Israel had better not hit back: “I am going to call Bibi right now and tell him not to retaliate,” Trump vouchsafed. “Each of them had their fun. Israel had its strike and Iran had its strike. We don’t need another one.”Trump has repeatedly denied claims that Netanyahu dragged him and the United States into the war. But he has made it increasingly clear that he is desperate to end it, even with none of the declared US-Israeli goals achieved. He’s still insisting that he is holding out for terms that will ensure the regime never gets nuclear weapons, but there’s no guarantee of that in the leaked drafts of the Memorandum of Understanding he’s been working toward. And his overt priority is to get the Strait of Hormuz dependably open again, and alleviate the global energy chaos that Tehran has proved so adept at creating.Even as Iran was firing on the north, Trump was asserting for the umpteenth time that he is days away from a deal with the manifestly obdurate and duplicitous regime: “I would say an agreement would be signed on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday of this coming week,” the president claimed. “And now this takes place,” he groused.Trump’s “don’t retaliate” demand leaves Netanyahu with a terrible, apparently binary choice. He could indeed surrender to the presidential diktat and hold his fire, destroying more of Israel’s deterrent capability against a gloating, triumphant Tehran, rendering it weak in the eyes of the region, and sorely undermining its foundational independence. Or he could defy the president, and embark on what would almost certainly turn into an escalating war with Iran in which Israel could find itself quite alone.First reports on the call, again from Ravid, suggested that Netanyahu tried in vain to overcome Trump’s opposition to an Israeli counterstrike, and that the US believes Netanyahu will not order a retaliatory attack in the near future.Michael Oren, the former Israeli ambassador to the United States, speculated that Netanyahu might also have sought Trump’s support for an “under the radar” attack on Iran, for which Israel would not claim credit, or some kind of tangible benefit for its restraint, perhaps in the shape of America’s B-2 stealth bombers, uniquely capable of pounding Iran’s underground nuclear facilities in a future hour of need. The prime minister might also have sought to try, once again, to talk Trump out of the kind of lousy deal he is working toward, under which Iran can reliably expect to stave off any substantive compromise on its nuclear weapons drive.But all of that would appear unlikely. Netanyahu was facing a president who has not disputed calling him “fucking crazy” last week, and telling him that everybody hates him and hates Israel. A president whose domestic political needs require anything but an escalation. A president in a pretty bad mood.A key question now is whether the regime is feeling so bullish, so emboldened, as to overplay its hand even against a US president so blatantly desirous of an accommodation. Could Iran, that is, so frustrate Trump as to compel him, against his will, to do what he has ordered Netanyahu not to do, and revive the military campaign? On past and current performance, the Islamic Republic is too canny to make that mistake. Which leaves a frustrated American president playing the supplicant to a duplicitous Iran, with Israel, hands tied, in the middle.In another of his Sunday interviews, with the Financial Times, Trump said that if he couldn’t reach a deal with Tehran, he might either “go in and take care of the rest of the place that we didn’t take care of militarily,” or maintain the current blockade.But he was certain about one thing: Netanyahu would have to accept any deal he agreed with the regime. “He won’t have any choice,” Trump said of Netanyahu. “I call the shots. I call all the shots.”Not in Iran, he doesn’t.
Iran threatens Israel: 'Watch the sky tonight'IDF strikes Beirut’s Dahiyeh after Hezbollah fires rockets at northern Israel-Lebanese media says 2 killed, 11 wounded; strike was reportedly coordinated with US; Netanyahu says Hezbollah is ‘in retreat’ amid IDF offensive in south By Emanuel Fabian,Nava Freiberg and Agencies 7 June 2026, 6:04 pm
Israel on Sunday carried out airstrikes in Beirut, with the military saying it targeted a Hezbollah headquarters in the group’s stronghold of Dahiyeh, a large suburb just south of the Lebanese capital.Two people were killed and at least 11 were wounded in strikes, Lebanon’s National News Agency reported, adding that two apartments in two separate buildings were targeted.Images of the aftermath showed several apartment buildings heavily damaged.Iran threatened to retaliate, saying, “Watch the sky of the occupied territories tonight.”According to the Saudi al-Hadath channel, Israel updated the United States ahead of the strikes. Israel has largely refrained from striking Beirut during the current conflict, at the request of the White House, which fears it would harm Washington’s efforts to secure a ceasefire and future nuclear deal with Iran, which is conditioning any agreement on a truce in Lebanon.The last Israeli strike in the capital occurred on May 28, which was itself the first strike in the city in over three weeks.Announcing the strikes, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz said they came in response to the terror group’s rocket fire on northern Israel Sunday morning, the first rockets fired at Israel since Wednesday, and the first since a porous ceasefire in Lebanon was renewed last week.Sirens had sounded in the border communities of Yiftah and Ramot Naftali amid the attack. The military said it intercepted two rockets that were fired at Israel.Israeli leaders have vowed that the military would strike in Beirut if Hezbollah attacked Israel during the ostensible ceasefire.The Israel Defense Forces later published footage showing the airstrike. The IDF said it struck a Hezbollah headquarters from which terror operatives advanced attacks on Israel and troops in southern Lebanon, in response to the Hezbollah rocket attack earlier in the day.The IDF said earlier that it struck and destroyed the launchers used by Hezbollah to fire the rockets Sunday morning.Reacting to the strikes, a senior Iranian parliament member promised a “painful and decisive response.”“This rabid dog must be disciplined and put in its place. Watch the sky of the occupied territories tonight,” Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesperson for the Iranian parliament’s foreign policy and national security committee, posted on X.Iran considers all of Israel “occupied territories.”The IRGC-affiliated Saberin news outlet also reported that Iran would respond.Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf, said that the US naval blockade of Iran and its reported green light for Israel to attack Beirut made US bases and Israeli assets in the Middle East legitimate targets.“They are neither committed to a ceasefire nor believe in dialogue, and through the naval blockade and violation of agreements regarding Lebanon they showed that they only understand the language of power,” Ghalibaf, who is also Iran’s top negotiator, said in a post on X.Iran’s foreign minister last week threatened that any Israeli attack on Beirut would be a violation of the ceasefire with the US and elicit a response from Iran.IDF again calls for evacuation of Tyre ahead of strikes-Also on Sunday, the IDF issued an evacuation warning for the southern coastal Lebanese city of Tyre ahead of airstrikes on Hezbollah.Residents of most neighborhoods and surrounding suburbs were instructed to head north of the Zahrani River.“In light of the Hezbollah terror organization’s violation of the ceasefire agreement, the IDF is compelled to act against it with force,” warned army spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee.“Anyone who is near Hezbollah operatives, its facilities, and its weapons is putting their life at risk,” he added.Tyre, the country’s fifth-largest city and the most populated urban area in south Lebanon, has been ordered to evacuate several times by the IDF. Tens of thousands have fled the city in recent weeks, though Lebanese media has reported that over 100,000 people remain in the city.The IDF also announced Sunday that four reservist soldiers were moderately wounded by an explosive-laden first-person view drone launched by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon the day before.The troops were taken to a hospital and their families were notified, the army said.At cabinet meeting, PM says ‘Hezbollah is in retreat’Before the Beirut strikes, Netanyahu held his weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem, during which he said that the IDF is continuing offensive operations against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon and warned that Israel will respond forcefully to any attacks amid the ostensible ceasefire with the terror group.“We will not allow fire to be directed at our territory or our communities, and we will act accordingly,” Netanyahu said in a video shared by his office, adding that the military was continuing efforts to dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure in villages near the border.“We are striking them very forcefully, and we know that Hezbollah is in retreat,” he declared.Israeli forces have eliminated 350 terrorists in the past week alone, Netanyahu claimed, hailing the IDF’s capture of Beaufort Ridge, “where they uncovered a vast underground infrastructure.”He added that “in the Gaza Strip, we are tightening our grip on Hamas from all sides,” reiterating that Israel currently controls over 60 percent of the territory and that he intends that “soon we will reach 70%.”Netanyahu’s comments reinforced similar remarks he made last week, which drew an apparently critical response from US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Rubio stated on Tuesday that such a move was not part of US President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan to end the conflict between Israel and Hamas.“We are not allowing them to rearm or harm us, and we are also eliminating their senior commanders,” Netanyahu said of Hamas.Also commenting on Hamas on Sunday was IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, who said said he had approved plans to “further deepen the blow to Hezbollah” in Lebanon.He also said that the military would continue to “erode Hamas’s power” until it achieves the goal of disarming the terror group, as he visited troops in the Strip.“The IDF is strengthening operational control in the area and continues to erode Hamas’s power. We will continue to operate until achieving the goal of disarming Hamas. This is a goal we are not giving up on,” he said in remarks provided by the IDF.
Turkey’s interior minister vows to ‘liberate’ Jerusalem, return it to Turkish hands-‘Wake up,’ Israel’s Foreign Ministry tells Mustafa Çiftçi, ‘Ottoman Empire is gone’; in Turkish-language rebuke, Katz says Jerusalem ‘will remain Israel’s capital forever’By ToI Staff 7 June 2026, 11:23 pm
Turkey’s interior minister on Saturday said that his country will one day bring about the “liberation” of Jerusalem, vowing to restore Turkish control to the city that the Ottoman Empire ruled for hundreds of years.The comments drew sharp rebuke from Israel, with the Foreign Ministry saying that the “Ottoman Empire is gone” and that Jerusalem “shall remain the eternal capital of Israel.”“Just as we witnessed the liberation of Damascus, Aleppo, and Karabakh, God willing, one day we will also witness the liberation of Jerusalem,” Interior Minister Mustafa Çiftçi said in a speech at a ruling AKP Party conference in the city of Çorum.Çiftçi was referring to the December 2024 fall of the Assad regime in Syria at the hands of Turkish-backed rebel militants, and the 2023 Azerbaijani capture and expulsion of Nagorno-Karabakh, an ethnically Armenian breakaway state that controlled much of western Azerbaijan for decades.In his speech, Çiftçi recalled how he used to pray for God to grant him “governorship of Jerusalem, even if just for a single day.”I still believe that the Almighty will show us those days,” he said.“Just as in the past, those lands will be ours once again,” he vowed, saying: “God willing, they will come under our sovereignty and dominion once more.”“Because we have a global leader like [Turkish President] Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at our helm,” he said. “A world leader.”After Çiftçi posted a clip of his speech on his X account, Israel’s Foreign Ministry issued a sharp rebuke, telling the senior minister to “wake up and smell the coffee.”“The corrupt Ottoman Empire is gone. Forever,” the ministry said on X, adding that Jerusalem “shall remain the eternal capital of Israel. Forever.”Wake up and smell the coffee. Advertisement The corrupt Ottoman Empire is gone. Forever. Jerusalem DC (David’s capital) shall remain the eternal capital of Israel.Forever. https://t.co/FRSR7ue1gP — Israel Foreign Ministry (@IsraelMFA) June 7, 2026-Defense Minister Israel Katz also joined in, saying: “To the Turkish Interior Minister who dreams of administering Jerusalem and hurls threats, I say this: Jerusalem is not Constantinople, and the State of Israel is not a crumbling Crusader Empire.”“Israel is a strong and resolute state that has proven its capacity to defend itself against any threat,” Katz wrote in a Turkish-language statement on X.“Jerusalem has been the capital of the Jewish people for 3,000 years and will remain Israel’s capital forever,” he said. “You and the Ottoman Empire that Erdoğan dreams of, on the other hand, have collapsed and will never return.”“Unfortunately, you have learned nothing from the legacy of Atatürk, who worked to transform Turkey into a modern state; on the contrary, you are working to drag Turkey back into a dark and backward era,” Katz added.Israel’s relations with Turkey, which were once the Jewish state’s strongest with any country in the region, have drastically deteriorated in recent years, especially since the start of the war in Gaza after the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attack.Erdogan has since been one of the most harshly critical foreign leaders of Israel, accusing Jerusalem of genocide and war crimes, praising ICC arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, and calling on the UN to recommend the use of force against Israel.Turkey regularly hosts Hamas leaders, and Erdogan has praised the group’s terrorists as freedom fighters while condemning Israel, including by comparing it to Nazi Germany and likening Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Hitler. The country has also suspended trade with Israel, and Turkish air carriers have stopped flying to Israel.
IDF: Tunnels built with 'full funding and planning' by Iran-IDF reveals key Hezbollah command tunnel network near south Lebanon’s Beaufort-Hundreds of operatives were stationed in multi-level underground site, which includes water and electricity, anti-tank and anti-aircraft capabilities, an operating room-By Emanuel Fabian-7 June 2026, 11:12 pm
The Israel Defense Forces on Sunday revealed a major Hezbollah tunnel system near Beaufort Castle in southern Lebanon, which it said was constructed with direct Iranian assistance.According to the military, the main reason for its raid on the Beaufort Castle area was to capture and demolish the underground site, as well as to prevent the terror group from carrying out rocket attacks on Israel from the area.“The IDF launched operations in the Beaufort area to achieve operational control over the area, which constitutes a threat to Israeli civilians, and to enable the destruction of the tunnel network,” the military said.The IDF said the tunnel was “built in a civilian area, in a location that enables operational control over the Galilee panhandle region, only six kilometers (3.7 miles) from Metula, and served as Hezbollah’s center in the area.”Troops are now working to destroy the “major Hezbollah underground infrastructure site in the Beaufort Ridge area,” IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said in a video statement.“This is an underground network consisting of several levels excavated deep into the rocky ground. The entire network was built with full funding and planning by the Iranian terror regime over more than a decade,” he said.According to an illustration published by the IDF, the tunnel system is located under the same ridge upon which the castle sits, about a kilometer (0.6 miles) south of the Crusader-built fortress, which Israel captured at the end of May, after having withdrawn from the site in 2000 amid a pullout from southern Lebanon as a whole.Defrin said the underground site served as a “significant command-and-control center, where hundreds of Hezbollah operatives were stationed.”The operatives managed the fighting from the site, including during the current war, but fled when the IDF launched its operation, he said.“We planned the operation for a long time and waited for the appropriate operational opportunity to carry it out. The complex was struck from the air several times, and now, through a ground operation, we are working to destroy it,” Defrin said.The military said the tunnel featured water and electricity infrastructure, anti-tank and anti-aircraft capabilities, and numerous rooms, including several living quarters, showers, restrooms, an operating room, and kitchens.Hezbollah also stored weapons at the site, with the IDF reporting that it found a room with anti-tank missiles, a launcher, and other military equipment.According to the IDF, Hezbollah launched over 400 rockets from the area at northern Israel during the current fighting, as well as drones, shoulder-launched missiles, and anti-tank missiles at troops.The IDF said that the underground site was constructed “in an area where the Lebanese army operates.”“As part of efforts to enforce the agreement between Israel and Lebanon, a request was submitted to the Lebanese army to address the site, but Hezbollah clearly prevented it from doing so,” the military added.The IDF revealed the existence of the tunnels just as the fighting in Lebanon significantly escalated, with a Hezbollah attack on northern Israel drawing an Israeli response in Beirut’s southern suburbs. A few hours later, on Sunday evening, Iran attacked northern Israel, marking its first direct attack on the Jewish state since an April 8 ceasefire agreement.The IDF has uncovered similar Hezbollah tunnels in the past, including two in April that it said were constructed by the terror group with “direct guidance” from Iran.Those tunnels were built over a decade, reaching depths of some 25 meters, and were “funded by the Iranian terror regime and as part of Hezbollah’s plan to conquer the Galilee,” according to the military.The IDF believed the underground sites were intended by Hezbollah for use as a staging ground, where hundreds of terror operatives would arrive when called, gather equipment, and ready themselves to attack Israeli towns. Hezbollah’s invasion plans never materialized.The latest round of fighting in Lebanon began on March 2, when Hezbollah attacked Israel in response to US-Israeli strikes against the Islamic Republic of Iran, the terror group’s sponsor.Since then, 30 IDF soldiers and one Defense Ministry civilian contractor have been killed there amid fighting against Hezbollah. Two civilians were also killed by the terror group’s rockets, and an Israeli civilian was mistakenly killed in the north by Israeli artillery shelling.In Lebanon, the Israeli military has said that it has killed over 2,500 Hezbollah operatives, including hundreds of members of the terror group’s elite Radwan Force, since early March.

Lebanon’s Aoun urges Israel to pursue talks, not war; says he won’t meet Netanyahu until deal signed-Lebanese president says any agreement will be a non-agression pact and not a peace deal, conditioning normalization of Jerusalem-Beirut ties on establishment of Palestinian state By Agencies and ToI Staff Today, 2:54 amJUN 8,26
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun makde a rare public appeal to the Israeli government and people in an interview with CNN, saying a military solution “will never provide you with security and safety” for the people in northern Israel.“We are ready, we are willing, we are committed. Are you? If you are, let’s sit and talk,” said Aoun.The Lebanese government is in direct talks with Israel, mediated by Washington, to reach a full cessation of hostilities, despite opposition by the Hezbollah terror group.“We are fed up and we want to live in peace,” Aoun said, adding that the Lebanese people “deserve to live in peace and in dignity, they deserve not seeing their homes being destroyed every five to 10 years.”Regarding Israel’s military operations, the Lebanese president said: “They can invade the whole country, they can flatten the whole country, but they will never be able to achieve their objective.”He ruled out meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before reaching an agreement to end the war, which he said would be a non-aggression pact and not a full peace deal.“We need to end the state of hostility between Lebanon and Israel. Forever. And this (pact) could be a path forward for a just and lasting peace.”Aoun said Lebanon would move in line with the Saudi-sponsored 2002 Arab Peace Initiative, which offers Israel normalized ties with the entire Arab world once it reaches a two-state solution to its conflict with the Palestinians.“But we cannot jump from A to B directly. We have to go through different steps,” Aoun said.Lebanese dying for Iran’s interests, Aoun says-The war erupted on March 2 when Hezbollah fired on Israel to avenge the February 28 US-Israeli killing of Iran’s supreme leader, with Israel responding with an extensive campaign of airstrikes and a ground invasion.The US declared a ceasefire on April 16 but fighting has continued, and Lebanon says Israel has carried out nearly 3,500 strikes since the truce was announced, while Hezbollah has continued to attack northern Israeli communities and military posts as well as troops in southern Lebanon.Israel struck Beirut’s southern suburbs on Sunday in retaliation for Hezbollah fire on northern Israel, triggering a 24-hour direct exchange of fire between Iran and Israel before each announced they were halting attacks after US President Donald Trump declared both sides “must immediately stop ‘shooting’” amid his efforts to reach a deal with Tehran.Fighting however continued Monday and into early Tuesday, with Lebanon’s health ministry reporting seven killed in Israeli strikes — including five in in Tyre, where the IDF issued an evacuation warning — since Iran’s threat to attack Israel again if it continued striking Hezbollah.Iran-backed Hezbollah meanwhile said it had targeted Israeli troops inside Lebanon, but did not claim any attacks on Israeli territory.Aoun told CNN that Lebanon sought a good relationship with Iran based on mutual respect and non-interference, and said Lebanon’s people were being killed to serve Iran’s interests.In an earlier clip from the interview aired on Friday, Aoun accused Iran of using Lebanon as a bargaining chip in its talks with the United States, in some of his toughest criticism yet of Tehran.
Houthis announce 'total ban' on Israeli shipping in Red Sea-Defying Trump, Israel strikes Iranian military, fuel targets; Iran, Houthis fire missiles at Israel-No injuries; settlement homes damaged by missile fragment; strike targets include Iranian air defenses; report: Netanyahu ‘pseudo-agreed’ to Trump’s demand not to retaliate to initial fire By Emanuel Fabian,ToI Staff and Agencies 8 June 2026, 11:13 am
Israel launched strikes on Iranian military targets and a petrochemical plant on Monday morning in response to the Islamic Republic’s ballistic missile attacks on northern Israel hours earlier, defying public calls from US President Donald Trump not to retaliate.After threatening continued barrages if Israel retaliated to its initial attack on Sunday evening, Iran launched more ballistic missile attacks on Monday morning after Israel’s airstrikes on military targets overnight, and was joined by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, who also fired a missile at Tel Aviv.According to the Israel Defense Forces, Iran has launched 24 ballistic missiles at Israel since Sunday night. The missiles were all intercepted or struck open areas, the military said.In addition, Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen fired two ballistic missiles at Israel on Monday morning. According to the IDF, one of the missiles was intercepted while the second failed to reach the country.The Monday morning missile fire came after Israel Defense Forces carried out strikes in Iran overnight, saying it was hitting military targets in the center and west of the country.The IDF later said the “extensive” wave of airstrikes targeted Iranian air defense systems. The military said dozens of Israeli Air Force fighter jets struck “strategic defense systems” in Iran as part of the strikes.“Recently, defense systems were deployed in numerous areas across Iran as part of the regime’s efforts to restore its detection and defense capabilities, which were degraded during Operation Roaring Lion,” the IDF said, referring to the recent war.“The strike led to the destruction of these systems,” the military added.Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said in a statement that Israel’s attacks were carried out using air-launched ballistic missiles, according to the IRNA news agency.Iranian reports said 15 targets were hit, while Al Jazeera reported that one of them was a drone storage facility in Tehran.Some reports also indicated that Mehrabad International Airport in Tehran was among the targeted sites. Sounds of explosions were heard in Tehran, Tabriz, and Isfahan, in Iran, according to local media.A US defense official told Axios that the US military did not take part in the overnight Israeli strikes on Iran, and that the Israeli strikes were “relatively limited.”Iran has fired four salvos of missiles at Israel since midnight, in addition to the Houthi attack.At around 6 a.m., sirens sounded across central Israel warning of a ballistic missile launched from Yemen, with a salvo from Iran triggering alerts in the south and center an hour later, sending millions running for shelter.Nobody was injured in the volleys themselves, though medics treated a man who fell on his way to seek shelter during the Houthi attack, the Magen David Adom ambulance service said.Damage was caused to several homes in a West Bank settlement following the impact of an Iranian missile fragment in one of the volleys, rescue services said.In response to the missile attacks, Israel hit petrochemical facilities in the southwest of Iran.The military said the Israeli Air Force struck three sites at a petrochemical complex in the Mahshahr area in southwest Iran, aiming to destroy infrastructure used by Iran to produce raw materials for the manufacture of missiles.The Fars news agency reported that the Karun Mahshahr Petrochemical Company in the Khuzestan Province was hit by strikes carried out by “the Zionist enemy, causing partial damage.”“The targeted infrastructure produced unique materials that serve as critical components for the development of ballistic missiles, which pose a threat to the State of Israel and its civilians,” the military said in a statement.“These are critical components of the production infrastructure supporting the Iranian terror regime’s missile program,” the IDF added.The IDF said Monday morning that Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir and senior military officials were monitoring the strikes.The IDF is “fully prepared for both attack and defense,” it said.“The IDF remains alert and prepared to continue operations across all fronts against anyone who threatens the State of Israel,” the military said.Meanwhile, the Houthis, who formally claimed responsibility for the missile fired at Tel Aviv, announced a “complete and total ban on Israeli maritime navigation in the Red Sea, and we consider all enemy movements to be legitimate military targets.”The Houthis previously launched attacks on shipping in the region where the strategic Bab el-Mandab Strait is located.Report: Netanyahu ‘pseudo-agreed’ to Trump-Iran said it launched the first waves of missiles at Israel on Sunday evening in retaliation for an IDF strike on Beirut’s southern Dahiyeh suburb earlier in the day, targeting the headquarters of the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group. Hezbollah has been battering northern Israel for weeks with rockets and drones.Trump had publicly urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to hold off on any retaliation during ongoing diplomacy with Tehran, and the Axios news site reported that the Israeli premier “pseudo-agreed” to the demand in a call with Trump.A US official described the conversation as less heated than a tense exchange between the two last week that included Trump yelling and cursing at Netanyahu.Hours after Trump publicly urged Israel not to retaliate against the initial Iranian missile attack, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee argued that Tehran wants to “incinerate America and Israel.”“Iran fired missiles at Israel last night and early today. The missile alerts sounded at 6 a.m. in Jerusalem. They were intercepted thank God!” he tweeted.“Iran and its proxy agents of evil want to incinerate America and Israel. Mothership of Satan is in Tehran,” Huckabee wrote.Huckabee is known to be among the US administration’s most hawkish members on Iran, but it’s unclear what influence he has on policy decisions from his post in Jerusalem.As Israel responded to the attacks, Jerusalem’s ambassador in Washington, Yechiel Leiter, issued a tweet explaining the decision to do so, despite the pressure from Trump to show restraint.“Iran fired 11 ballistic missiles at Israel today. Each one of those missiles can level an entire neighborhood and kill hundreds. No self-respecting country in the world would tolerate such an attack, and neither will Israel,” Leiter wrote on X.Leiter was one of the only Israeli officials publicly commenting on the renewed conflict. Netanyahu has not made a public statement, but has faced mounting calls from political rivals and coalition partners to buck Trump — something he apparently decided to do by striking Iran.Trump had claimed in one of the many phone interviews he held late Sunday with cold-calling journalists that he is the one “calling the shots,” not Netanyahu.Trump has repeatedly insisted that Washington and Tehran are close to an agreement on ending the war.“We’re very close to a deal, or I’m going to blow the hell out of them,” Trump told NBC News’s “Meet the Press” in a prerecorded interview that aired on Sunday to mark 100 days of the conflict.Iran’s strikes Sunday were the first from the Islamic Republic to target Israel since April 8, when Trump announced a halt in the joint US-Israeli military campaign against Iran launched February 28. The president has since doggedly pursued a deal to end the war, seeking the reopening of the vital Strait of Hormuz, a global economic chokepoint, to commercial maritime traffic, but also demanding a halt to Iran’s nuclear ambitions.Iran has insisted that any deal include an end to Israeli attacks on Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror group, which is backed by Tehran. It said Sunday’s missile strikes were retaliation for an Israeli strike on the Hezbollah headquarters in Beirut’s southern suburbs and vowed to expand retaliation if the attacks persisted.Netanyahu said the strikes were in response to Hezbollah attacks on the country’s north.Trump has also pressured Israel to halt or slacken its campaign against the terror group, seemingly in service of the Iran deal.Speaking to the Financial Times late Sunday, he said Netanyahu will have to accept whatever agreement Washington may reach with Iran.“He won’t have any choice,” Trump told the outlet in a phone interview, adding, “I call the shots. I call all the shots. He [Netanyahu] doesn’t call the shots.”Trump told Fox News Sunday that he was “not happy” about Israel’s strikes near Beirut, despite reporting that claimed Israel had cleared the move with the US administration. But two US officials told Channel 12 news early Monday that the White House never gave a “green light” to the Israeli strikes against Hezbollah targets in Beirut.The region remained on edge Monday, with Israel shuttering schools and placing some limits on public gatherings. While children remained at home, parents were expected to work, with workplaces remaining open.Iran closed the airspace in the country’s west, and some other locales in the Mideast followed suit.
Netanyahu on Trump: 'Why should we pick a fight with him?' Netanyahu called off major Iran strike after Trump warned Israel would be on its own — reports-About-face, said to come at last minute, with fighter jets on the runway, reportedly follows tense calls about renewed fighting; PM says fire has ‘been halted’ but could return if Israel attacked By Nava Freiberg-8 June 2026, 11:30 pm
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly called off a major strike on Iran with fighter jets on the runway, after US President Donald Trump instructed him on Monday not to escalate Israel’s fight with the Islamic Republic.Instead, in a brief address to the nation on Monday, Netanyahu said he would halt attacks on Iran “for now,” but warned that Israel would strike Iran and Hezbollah if it is attacked again.Netanyahu made the comments on Monday evening after conflict erupted between Israel and Iran for the first time since a ceasefire took effect in early April. After Hezbollah bombed northern Israel, Israel struck Beirut on Sunday, prompting Iran to fire a missile at northern Israel. Iran and its Yemeni proxy, the Houthis, fired missiles at Israel on Monday as well. Israel struck Iran in response.Following the exchange of fire, Trump reportedly told Netanyahu on Monday to hold off on further attacks. The US president, who began the war in late February in partnership with Israel, told Channel 12 that he warned Netanyahu amid the conflict that if Israel escalated the fight, it could find itself left alone in the battle.The president and prime minister reportedly spoke multiple times over the course of Sunday and Monday, with Trump urging an end to the renewed conflict and Netanyahu making the case for Israeli strikes. Iran also said it would hold its fire.A call between the two men on Monday afternoon, according to Channel 12, marked a turning point: Around 4:30 p.m., the network reported, Netanyahu approved a major operation against Iran to take place later in the day. A New York Times reporter also described the planned attack as “massive.”But shortly afterward, Trump called him and instructed him to halt any further attacks so Washington could pursue a deal to end the war. Netanyahu agreed, calling off the operation while aircraft were prepared for takeoff, leading to “considerable confusion” within the military high command, Channel 12 reported.According to the report, some Israeli officials characterized the leaders’ conversation as one of mutual understanding, but other sources said it was effectively a directive from the president.PM: ‘We’ll respond with force’ if Iran, Hezbollah attack again-Netanyahu made his first comments on the renewed fighting later on Monday evening in an apparently prerecorded Hebrew video address lasting less than three minutes. In the statement, he defended Israel’s strikes but said they would end for the time being.“After Iran attacked Israel, I directed the IDF to strike military and economic targets throughout Iran,” Netanyahu said.“At present, the fire on this front has been halted, because after the terrorist regime in Tehran was struck, it stopped attacking us,” he added, while warning that “if that terrorist regime makes the mistake of attacking us again, we will respond with force.”“Today, Iran and Hezbollah are weaker than ever, and we are stronger than ever. But our struggle against them is not yet over,” the premier said.Netanyahu, who will stand for reelection in several months, suggested that, with the strikes, he was sending a message to Iran and Hezbollah and demonstrating to Trump that Israel will decide on its own when to use military force.“Over the past day, Iran and Hezbollah tried to impose a new equation on us. That equation is intolerable and completely unacceptable to me. They thought they could launch attacks from Lebanon and Iran against Israel and that we would not act,” he said. “That did not happen, and it will not happen. Not on my watch.”He added, “Israel has every right to self-defense, and we will exercise that right whenever necessary. I say this to you, dear citizens of Israel, just as I say it in my good conversations with my friend President Trump.”Netanyahu, Trump said to spar over whether Israel should retaliate-According to Channel 12, however, Netanyahu’s decision to hold Israeli fire came only after significant pressure from Trump. The US president told the network that he warned Netanyahu Israel could be left alone if it escalated the conflict with Iran.In a phone conversation with Barak Ravid, a reporter for Channel 12 and Axios, Trump said that he asked Netanyahu on Sunday night not to respond to Iran’s ballistic missile attacks on northern Israel, which followed Israeli strikes on Hezbollah targets in Beirut. He said Netanyahu may have to go it alone if he proceeded with the attacks, according to Ravid.“I said, ‘Bibi, you better be careful, or you will be on your own very soon,'” Trump reportedly said.According to the Axios report, Trump made the case that if he reached an agreement with Iran, further Israeli strikes would be unnecessary, but that if talks fall apart, the US could lead a fresh attack. Trump has repeatedly threatened major attacks on Iran, only to later back off.Channel 12 said in a separate report that, apparently during the same call, Netanyahu said, “The Iranians violated our sovereignty. We have to draw a red line.”Trump then reportedly replied that Washington would not grant Israel “a green light,” while adding that Netanyahu has his “own calculations,” according to the network.The report said the conversation ended without a clear conclusion, but several of Trump’s aides who were on the call were cited as saying they were given the impression that Trump had succeeded in buying a few more days without Israeli retaliation.Nevertheless, Netanyahu decided to strike Iran after consulting with senior security officials.Trump told the network that Israel updated Washington on the strikes while the missiles were already on their way to Iran, while adding that he managed to scale back the scope of the attack, possibly a reference to the major strike that Netanyahu canceled at the last minute.Trump reportedly added that five regional countries involved in mediation efforts between the US and Iran had asked him to pressure Netanyahu to halt the strikes and move forward with an agreement to end the war, which Iran and the US have been negotiating for months.The president reiterated to Channel 12 that he believes an agreement with Iran remains within reach, that Tehran wants to sign one, and that such a deal would be beneficial. Trump told Fox News that he believed he had been only days away from finalizing an agreement with Iran before the fighting between Israel and Iran erupted.A US official told Axios that the daylight between Netanyahu and Trump spoke to the two men’s diverging political interests.“Bibi needs the war to continue to stay politically alive in Israel, and Trump needs the war to end to stay politically alive in the US,” a US official told the publication.‘Why should we pick a fight with him?’Shortly after their final reported phone call, Netanyahu announced that the strikes would cease. But Channel 12 also reported that he told senior security officials, as he said in his speech, that Israel would strike Hezbollah targets in Beirut if the terror group attacks northern Israeli communities again, even at the risk of triggering another round of confrontation with Iran.The instructions were given during a series of limited security consultations between Netanyahu, Defense Minister Israel Katz, and senior security officials at the Kirya military headquarters on Monday, according to the report.The report said the discussions exposed disagreements among security cabinet ministers over how Israel should respond to Trump’s intervention and whether it should prioritize confronting Iran directly or intensifying pressure on Hezbollah in Lebanon.National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir reportedly argued that Israel should resist US pressure, saying, “We need to stand our ground against Trump. We need to fight tooth and nail and make it clear that we have red lines.”Netanyahu reportedly responded by suggesting Ben Gvir’s position was influenced by the approaching election campaign, a charge the far-right minister rejected.Far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich reportedly argued that Israel should continue to focus its military response on Hezbollah targets in Beirut, seeming to suggest this would both weaken the terror group and reinforce Israel’s rejection of Iranian demands that Lebanon be included in any ceasefire.“The right course of action is to stick with the Beirut model… Strike hard in Beirut. That will cause Hezbollah to beg for it to stop, and it could help further separate the [Iranian and Lebanese] fronts,” he reportedly said.Netanyahu reportedly defended the coordination with Washington, arguing that Trump remains aligned with Israel’s broader objectives regarding Iran.“We are on the same page as Trump,” Netanyahu was quoted as saying. “He is not releasing Iran’s frozen funds, he is determined to secure the nuclear material, and he is maintaining the pressure. Why should we pick a fight with him?”
