Israeli media occasionally reports on the arrests of citizens of Israel who are suspected Iranian spies. While these stories are concerning and important, there is another aspect of spying that proves an asset to Israeli intelligence.

There are plenty of Iranians who want to see their regime replaced. A great deal of intelligence comes from ordinary Iranians on the ground who are feeding many data points to Israel.

Spy vs. Spy: The espionage factor that no one is talking about, by Elder of Ziyon, June 23, 2025

The Israeli government on Wednesday released updated figures on home front casualties, damage and evacuations, noting 24 casualties.

Since airstrikes began on Friday, Iran has launched approximately 400 ballistic missiles and hundreds of aerial drones. While most have been intercepted, approximately 40 impact sites have been identified.

The barrages have killed 24 people. Of the more than 804 people injured, eight are in serious condition, 41 are in moderate condition while 795 suffered minor injuries.

Property damage is based on damage claims submitted to the Israel Tax Authority. Of the 18,766 claims made to the Authority, 15,861 were for structural damage to buildings, 1,272 were related to vehicles and 1,633 were related to contents and other property.

Some 3,800 Israelis have been evacuated from their homes.

Israel executed this military operation with the utmost planning and precision, and it has proven to be the most catastrophic blow to the Iranian regime. Israel’s advanced intelligence capabilities, air superiority, and ability to conduct complex, multi-target strikes deep inside Iranian territory with strategic coordination is nothing short of brilliant.

All of this is taking place while Israel continues Operation Swords of Iron, a multi-front operation approaching its two-year mark. Israel alone is fighting two massive wars against multiple enemies who seek its annihilation. It sounds historic for one country to be fighting two wars simultaneously, one of which will have significant humanitarian and geopolitical implications for the entire region. In the end, it’s about the Jewish Nation State’s unprecedented fight for its very survival. Let that sink in.

Israel Reports 24 Dead, 800 Injured in Iranian Strikes as War Enters Sixth Day, by Pesach Benson/TPS-IL, June 18, 2025

President Donald J. Trump has said the Iranian leadership has reached out to his administration to negotiate an end to the Israel-Iran conflict. President Trump said, “Iran’s got a lot of trouble, and they want to negotiate.”

With respect to the prospects of a peace deal, he said that “nothing’s too late,” but that he was upfront with the Iranians when they reached out to him that “it’s very late… to be talking,” and that he was disappointed they did not negotiate with him in earnest when he attempted to before the first Israeli strikes.

“We may meet,” Trump added. Still, he stressed that, “There’s a big difference between now and a week ago,” with the Iranian regime having sustained heavy damage and the possibility of a U.S. strike on Iran’s hardened nuclear facilities on the table.

The signals from Washington are that it is prepared to bolster its military posture in support of Israel as evidenced by a soon to be total of three US aircraft carriers operating near Iran. Whether President Trump will lead the US into the war on Iran no one knows, and he’ll never show his hand. He has a lot riding on his campaign promise of “no new wars.” He’s a master 5D chess player and his skills executing The Art of the Deal as applied to war are in full play now.

BREAKING: Trump Says Iran Has Reached Out to Him, Wants to Negotiate, by Jack Montgomery/The National Pulse, June 18, 2025

WATCH: US preparing to attack Iran, sends most advanced aircraft carrier to Mediterranean, by World Israel News via Newsreal

In a historic and major military operation, Israel last Friday, June 13 launched a surprise attack on Iran, bombing all nuclear sites.

At 3:00am in Israel, the whole nation was woken by an air raid siren and alert on their phones from the Home Office command, declaring a country-wide emergency situation. Israelis were further instructed to stay close to their safe-rooms and that all schools and businesses are to be closed until further notice. Warplanes could be heard flying throughout the country.

Shortly afterwards, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released an address via YouTube, explaining that Israel has attacked Iran due to its growth of nuclear weapons, and acquiring enough uranium to make nine nuclear bombs within a few months. Naming the move as ‘Operation Rising Lion’, he stated: “This operation will continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat. For decades, the tyrants of Tehran have brazenly, openly called for Israel’s destruction…This is a clear and present danger to Israel’s very survival…I’ve made it clear time and time again, Israel will never allow those who call for our annihilation to develop the means to achieve that goal.”

Since Operation Am KaLavi began and with numerous developments and the rapidly evolving nature this military operation, follow this timeline for an overview and summary of all operational activities and developments. This report is current through June 15.

Today, TPS-IL reports that the Israeli Air Force has destroyed approximately one-third of Iran’s missile launch capabilities in a series of targeted strikes. As is an unfortunate consequence of war, twenty-four people have been killed and hundreds injured in four days of Iranian missile attacks.

As Israel continues to pound Iran the latest reports today state that Tehran is reportedly expressing an urgent willingness to resume negotiations over its nuclear program, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal.

If Iran is allowed to come back to the negotiating table, this seems it would amount to going around in circles. On the other hand, could Israel’s so far successful military operation have changed Iran’s mind and get them to stop its never-ending goal of wiping Israel off the map and stop uranium enrichment? We doubt that Iran would turn around and all of a sudden become the diplomatic and peaceful nation partner in the region – and the world – that it should be. The evil of Iran is a decades long cancer that must be eradicated 100%. Operation Am KaLavi is an evolving minute-by-minute operation, and we will be watching closely for updates.

Operation Rising Lion: What We Know So Far About Israeli Strikes on Iran, by Crystal Jones/TPS-IL, June 13, 2025

What??

While the seriousness of Operation Am KaLavi is not to be diminished, it doesn’t change the fact that lies and propaganda against Israel continue.

The false claims that Israel is killing the invasive population in Gaza with hunger is false, but the massive truckloads of aid being brought in to save the Hamas supporters from a famine that doesn’t exist may be even more lethal. Daniel Greenfield’s article presents and interesting truth that counteracts the argument that Gazans are starving and that the blame lies with Israel.

A Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria probably won’t happen “in our lifetime” and is no longer Washington’s goal, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said on Tuesday.

“Unless there are some significant things that happen that change the culture, there’s no room for it,” Huckabee told Bloomberg, adding that a culture shift is unlikely to take place “in our lifetime.”

When asked by Bloomberg if an independent Palestinian state is the goal of the Trump administration, the diplomat responded: “I don’t think so.”

A Palestinian Arab state does not necessarily need to be established in Judea and Samaria, he stated, insisting that Palestinian self-governance in another Muslim country “should be and could be on the table.”

Ambassador Huckabee’s suggestion for a Palestinian Arab state established outside of Judea and Samaria is out of the box thinking. His view challenges the decades long conventional focus on Judea and Samaria as the primary location for the delusional two-state solution.

It’s high time for Israel to mobilize all its allies to help it advocate for such an alternative. With the war still raging we understand this cannot be the primary focus – not just yet anyway. Then again, maybe we can count on President Donald J. Trump to mobilize the effort!!

Huckabee: No Palestinian state likely ‘in our lifetime’, by JNS Staff, June 11, 2025

The governments of the UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and Norway officially announced Monday that they will impose sanctions on Israeli Ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, accusing them of incitement to violence against Palestinian Arabs in Judea and Samaria.

The UK Foreign Office stated that the decision was made as part of a wider move to address what it described as “extremist settler violence” and the undermining of a future Palestinian state.

It’s unacceptable for any country to sanction Israel’s leaders and the time is now for Israel to respond to these ridiculous and biased agendas. Whether it’s through travel bans and asset freezes, or diplomatic protests to reciprocal measures, Israel must act. Israel’s Ambassador to the UK, Tzippi Hotevely, responded to the news, “Sanctions on democratically elected Israeli ministers are a moral failure that only helps Hamas, not peace,” she wrote on her X account. “Now is the time for moral clarity. Our allies must choose – to stand with Israel on the right side of history, or to send the wrong message to terrorists.”

A public PR campaign to combat this politically motivated nonsense would better position Israel into the age of information wars. It’s an urgent advancement that needs to happen.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has accused the Hamas terrorist organization of preventing workers who were wounded in the Hamas attack on its local staff in the Gaza Strip last night from receiving the medical treatment they need.

According to GHF, eight workers were killed and 21 seriously injured late last night when Hamas militants opened fire on a bus en route to the organization’s aid distribution sites. The incident reportedly drew a crowd, forcing the attackers to flee.

The wounded and deceased were later transported by the International Red Cross Committee to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. However, the GHF stated that upon arrival, Hamas operatives threatened hospital staff and barred them from treating the injured. As of 2 p.m. today, the foundation says the victims remained untreated in the hospital parking lot.

GHF also urged those holding the bodies of the deceased to release them to their families for proper burial. Despite the tragedy, the foundation affirmed that both its international and local teams remain dedicated to delivering food aid to Gazans in need.

Where is the global outcry on all of this?

The United States Department of the Treasury announced on Tuesday that its Office of Foreign Assets Control has sanctioned five individuals, and five foreign-based charities accused of funding Hamas’s military wing and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) under the guise of humanitarian aid.

The designated entities are prominent financial supporters of Hamas’s military activities, and the funds were raised under the pretense of providing humanitarian assistance in Gaza and elsewhere. A separate organization linked to the PFLP was also sanctioned.

The sanctions, issued under Executive Order 13224 as amended, target a network of fraudulent non-profit organizations that the Treasury says serve as financial fronts for terror groups.

“This action underscores the importance of safeguarding the charitable sector from abuse by terrorists like Hamas and the PFLP,” stated Deputy Secretary Michael Faulkender. He emphasized the US commitment to preventing terrorist organizations from exploiting humanitarian crises for violent ends.

We look forward the the speedy recognition of other dangerous “charitable” funders of terror and the swift imposition of sanctions on them.

US acts against sham charities backing Hamas, PFLP, by Yitz Goldberg/Israel National News, June 10, 2025

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has called for international help to stop Iran completing its nuclear program, after the publication of a damning report.

Speaking at a press conference last week in Berlin, Germany, Saar urged for action after the International Atomic Energy Agency detailed how Iran has been carrying out nuclear tests in secret, despite warnings not to from countries around the globe.

The paper, published on Saturday, shows that Iran’s uranium levels are now at 90% of those needed for weapons grade, and if it keeps growing at the rate it currently is, will soon be enough for nine nuclear bombs.

Additionally, investigators at the IAEA found that at three out of four sites inspected, secret tests had been carried out.

Saar’s comments echo that of a statement put out by Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this weekend, where he said: “The international community must act now to stop Iran,” adding that Iran’s uranium levels “exist only in countries actively pursuing nuclear weapons and has no civilian justification whatsoever.”
