Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his coalition are reportedly disappointed by U.S. President Donald Trump’s reluctance to engage in immediate military action against Iran. Despite Israel’s strong air defense system, the country is facing increasing vulnerability to Iranian airstrikes. Columnist Gideon Levy from Haaretz notes that if Trump’s delay is genuine and not a strategic ploy, the chances of U.S. intervention are fading. He also warns that even if Iran’s nuclear facilities are destroyed, Israel’s long-term security is not guaranteed.

Seventeen people were injured in Israel following a recent missile attack launched from Iran, with three individuals in critical condition, including two teenagers. Israel’s emergency service, Magen David Adom (MDA), confirmed the injuries but did not disclose the exact impact sites. Initial reports from AFP noted only two injuries, but Al Jazeera later updated the count, adding more details about the victims’ conditions. The strike has intensified tensions in the region, raising concerns of further escalation.

A 51-year-old woman died of a heart attack in a shelter in Israel’s northern city of Karmiel during Iran’s recent missile attack, confirmed by emergency service Magen David Adom. In Haifa, 23 people were injured by missile strikes, including a 16-year-old boy and two men in critical condition. Reports vary on the number of missiles launched—25 according to the Israeli military, while Channel 12 cites 39. In retaliation, Israel targeted Iranian military infrastructure in the southwest, prompting activation of Iranian air defenses in Bushehr.

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said in a statement that Iran’s state institutions and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) must be targeted. He described them as the "pillars" of Iran’s regime.

In a previous public address, Katz explicitly stated that Israel’s goal is to assassinate Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei—further signaling Israel's shift toward directly targeting Iran’s top leadership.

According to Turkish media, the United States and Germany have sent military supplies to Israel aboard 14 cargo planes amid the escalating conflict with Iran. The equipment is meant to support the Israeli army’s operational readiness.

Since the start of Israel’s offensive on Gaza in October 2023, over 800 military cargo flights have reportedly landed in Israel.

In response to Israeli attacks, Tehran has launched retaliatory missile strikes on Tel Aviv, with several projectiles bypassing Israel’s missile defense systems and hitting high-rise buildings. As a result, more than 8,000 Israeli residents have fled their homes fearing for their lives.

According to Yedioth Ahronoth, Israel's Property Tax and Compensation Fund has received nearly 30,000 claims for damage to buildings and vehicles.

Iran has launched a missile strike near the Microsoft office in the southern Israeli city of Beersheba. Photos from the scene show fires and damage to nearby residential buildings. The attack appears to have targeted the Gav-Yam Advanced Technology Park, home to several international tech firms and military research entities. Soroka Medical Center, located nearby, also sustained minor damage. The strike is believed to be part of Iran’s broader retaliation against Israeli operations.

Following a missile attack launched from Iran, sirens were triggered across several areas in southern Israel on Friday, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reported.

In a statement on their Telegram channel, the IDF said, “We are actively working to intercept these missiles.” Details about casualties or damage have not yet been disclosed, and media access to affected sites remains restricted by Israeli authorities.

Meir Masri, former Israeli Deputy Defense Minister and senior member of the Labor Party, posted in Arabic and Urdu on X, saying, “After the operation in Iran, we may consider dismantling Pakistan’s nuclear program.”

He added, “Pakistan is not far from Iran. That alone should be enough to understand the stakes.” While Masri currently holds no official government position, his status in Israeli politics lends weight to his statements.

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has declared Al Jazeera a threat to the country’s national security, stating that the network operates not as a news outlet but as a hostile entity working against Israel’s interests. “Its activities must be stopped,” said Ben-Gvir, calling on law enforcement to take legal action against anyone found watching Al Jazeera broadcasts. Earlier in May 2024, the Israeli government officially banned Al Jazeera journalists and staff from operating within the country.

Following a visit to a damaged hospital in Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised former U.S. President Donald Trump, calling their friendship “incredible” and revealing that the two speak “almost every day.”

Netanyahu emphasized Trump's strong stance on Iran, noting, “His clear message—that Iran must never be allowed to develop nuclear weapons—is vital. To ensure that, Iran must halt uranium enrichment.”

He further stated, “Trump offered them a chance to negotiate, but they deceived him. No one can deceive Donald Trump and get away with it.”

On the possibility of U.S. military intervention, Netanyahu remarked, “That decision rests with the President. However, they are already providing us with significant support.”

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that a senior Hezbollah commander was killed in a drone strike in southern Lebanon on Wednesday night. The attack targeted Yassin Izz al-Din, head of Hezbollah’s rocket artillery unit in the Litani River sector, in the town of Barish.

The IDF said he was responsible for numerous rocket attacks on northern Israel and was actively working to rebuild Hezbollah’s artillery operations.

Israeli Health Minister Uriel Buso has declared that Iran crossed a "red line" by launching a missile that damaged the roof of Soroka Hospital in Be'er Sheva, southern Israel.

Buso told Army Radio that targeting a major civilian hospital constitutes a war crime by Iran’s regime. Meanwhile, Al Jazeera reported additional Israeli airstrikes on aid distribution centers in Gaza, resulting in over a hundred casualties.

Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel has labeled Iran’s missile strike on Soroka Hospital in Be’er Sheva as “deliberate” and a “crime.” Writing on X, she stressed that the facility is not a military target but the main medical center for the entire Negev region.

Meanwhile, Al Jazeera reported that Israeli forces also struck aid distribution centers in Gaza, resulting in over a hundred casualties, further intensifying global criticism.

According to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office, 24 people have been killed and more than 800 injured in Iran's retaliatory strikes on Israel. Over 3,800 residents have been evacuated to safety.

Tehran has launched more than 400 missiles and hundreds of drones toward Israel, the office stated. In response, Israeli airstrikes have reportedly killed over 240 people in Iran, including more than 70 women and children.
