UPDATE via The Times of Israel: “The IDF confirms it has launched an aerial campaign against Iran’s nuclear program. Dozens of targets across Iran related to the nuclear program and other military facilities are being struck by the Israeli Air Force, it says. The operation is dubbed “Strength of a Lion.” The IDF says Iran has enough enriched uranium to build several bombs within days, and it needs to act against this “imminent threat.” Sirens that sounded across Israel a short while ago were a preemptive warning issued by the IDF, ahead of a possible reaction by Iran.” https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/update-israel-bombing-irans-nuclear-sites-explosions-heard/ Amir Tsarfati: Breaking News - Here's What REALLY Happened This one also repeats, so when you think, "I've heard this part before," you have. Iran struck back Friday night after Israel’s massive attack earlier in the day, firing a barrage of ballistic missiles. Most were intercepted by Israel’s air defenses, but a few were seen making impact in Tel Aviv. In one video published on social media, onlookers can be seen watching Israel’s intercepted strike the incoming missiles, before one missile is seen making impact amid skyscrapers in downtown Tel Aviv. Israel’s Army Radio reported shortly after 10:00 p.m. that Iran had fired about 150 missiles, not all of which made it to Israel. Dozens were intercepted, and there were several direct impacts in central Israel. Update: The IDF said that fewer than 100 missiles in total had been launched. Reports on social media indicated that the number of injured had grown to 40, including two who were in critical condition. The Israeli Air Force (IAF) has won complete freedom of operation above Tehran, the Iranian capital, after 36 hours of conflict, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Saturday. The announcement came after Iran said that it had downed at least one IAF fighter jet, which IDF Spokesman Brigadier General Effie Defrin said was untrue. Israel has eliminated most of Iran’s air defenses, and is currently targeting ballistic missile launchers. The fact that the IAF can reach Iran at all is a major achievement. Until the current war, it was presumed that the distance between Israel and Iran was too far, and the nations in between too hostile, to allow Israel to fly over them, land in them, or refuel above them. However, the Abraham Accords have created alliances — both explicit and implicit — between Israel and Sunni Arab states, and the collapse of the Syrian regime earlier this year means that Israel can fly freely on the shortest path to Iran without fear of encountering hostile fire. Iran appears to have underestimated Israel’s will and ability to attack on its own — a fateful miscalculation. In response, Iran has launched hundreds of ballistic missiles at Israel in several waves since Friday evening. Most were intercepted by Israel’s air defenses or allowed to fall in open areas where they were not a threat to human life or to infrastructure. Several missiles made it through Israel’s defense shield — which the IDF has cautioned is not “hermetic” — and hit residential neighborhoods, mostly in central Israel, near Tel Aviv. Three Israelis — all civilians — have been reported killed. Two have been identified; both are elderly people. Some 80 civilians were also injured in missile strikes. Most of the injuries were light, but a few were serious. There is an asymmetry in the attacks on either side: Israel’s manned aircraft are flying to Iran and targeting military and state assets, while Iran is launching poorly-guided missiles from afar at civilian areas in Israel. Every day is a miracle in Israel, but today is one of those especially divine times that everyone living here will remember for the rest of our lives. “This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and celebrate!” The God of Israel enabled His Chosen People to strike back at our mortal enemy, Iran—after decades of a growing threat of nuclear annihilation, years of careful military planning, and months of fearful anticipation since their evil ring of fire began to suffocate us on October 7th, 2023. While ‘Operation Rising Lion’ has only just begun, and many IDF soldiers are bravely fighting in harm’s way—on land, at sea, and in the air—we pray for their safety. So far, the initial strike has been nothing less than historic. Before our very eyes, Israel has once again served as the Mighty Hand and Outstretched Arm of our Heavenly Father, delivering a devastating blow to the Islamic regime. What happened today is extraordinary, and we must take a moment to recognize the unprecedented times we are living in. God is not whispering for our attention—He is shouting! When the leader of the Jewish people, Prime Minister Netanyahu, steps onto the world stage and speaks about the God of Israel, quoting from the Bible in his historic announcement—followed immediately by a spectacular military achievement—you know we are living in Biblical times. So how should we, Bible-believing Jews and Christians, respond? That’s actually quite simple. We have a tradition that tells us to look into the weekly Torah portion to find the most relevant messages. And in this week’s portion, there are three goosebump inducing passages: Once again, this is the first war in Israel’s history in which millions of Christians across the globe are standing up for the People of Israel in recognition of the God of Israel. However, it is not enough to keep this moment to ourselves. We must sound the trumpets and declare publicly, “A nation that rises like a lion will not rest until it has devoured its prey!” (Numbers 23:24) https://israel365news.com/409633/the-day-that-israel-rose-up-like-a-lion/
