Samar al-Rashed, a 29-year-old single mother and Palestinian citizen of Israel, lives in a mostly Jewish apartment complex near Acre. She was at home with her five-year-old daughter, Jihan, on Friday as air raid sirens pierced the air, warning of incoming missiles.
She grabbed her daughter and rushed for the building’s shelter.
“I didn’t have time to pack anything,” she recalled. “Just water, our phones, and my daughter’s hand in mine.”
The panicking mother tried to ease her daughter’s fear, while hiding her own, gently encouraging her in soft-spoken Arabic to keep up with her rushed steps towards the shelter, as other neighbours climbed down the stairs, too.
But at the shelter door, she said, an Israeli resident, having heard her speak Arabic, blocked their entry – and shut it in their faces.
“I was stunned,” she said. “I speak Hebrew fluently. I tried to explain. But he looked at me with contempt and just said, ‘Not for you.'”
In that moment, Samar said, the deep fault lines of Israeli society were laid bare. Climbing back to her flat and looking at the distant missiles lighting up the skies, and occasionally colliding with the ground, she was terrified by both the sight, and by her neighbours.

‘Not for you’: Israeli shelters exclude Palestinians as bombs rain down

The question is to what extent he wants to bolster US support for Israel.
The US has continually armed Israel for decades, and in this particular conflict, there is no doubt that US missile defence systems are being used and have been added to the Israeli systems.
There is also a US fleet in the region – two aircraft carriers. In all, there are some 40,000 to 50,000 troops in the region at any given time.
These numbers fluctuate and flow. So it’s very difficult to attribute any increased troop presence on the ground.
But the question is to what extent President Trump is going to ramp up the tangible visibility of the military in this ongoing conflict.

Question now is how far Trump willing to increase military support for Israel

The statement comes after Iranian state television urged people to remove WhatsApp from their smartphones, alleging without specific evidence that the messaging app gathered user information to send to Israel.
The app, which is owned by Meta, said it was “concerned these false reports will be an excuse for our services to be blocked at a time when people need them the most”.
“We do not track your precise location, we don’t keep logs of who everyone is messaging and we do not track the personal messages people are sending one another,” it said.
“We do not provide bulk information to any government,” it added.
WhatsApp uses end-to-end encryption, meaning a service provider in the middle can’t read a message.

Y’all said that about Gaza how the economy was going to collapse and nobody would trade with them and they’d lose the war. So far what we’ve see is Irans ability to shoot missiles decline as every time they launch their mission sites get destroyed. Every time one of their commanders peaks their head above ground they get killed. That Israel has control of their skies and is flying sortees Willy nilly.I guess the countries biggest oil refinery being COMPLETELY destroyed shut down for the foreseeable future means nothing
Their pentagon was BOMBED
Losing billions of dollars DAILY and having your PAMPERED racist citizens having to live in fear for the foreseeable future and LOCKED into a war zone
IS NOT NECESSARILY A WIN
Especially considering they thought this would be easy
Satanyahu is losing the trust of his people EVERY HOUR
Iran destroying a few buildings and killing what a dozen people so far isn’t going to change the outcome of this war. If you don’t believe me, read Russian sources. They are despondent as they were when Syria fell.

I know you don't care, but again, Israel has Military Blackouts, so they work very hard to ensure as little information gets out as possible.
Good. As any competent military should. Iran couldn’t cover up that their entire command structure got decapitated.

Russia got Ukraine problems and China doesn’t get involved in anything that isn’t China. Turkey is a western ally no matter what they pretend to be sometimes.

A former US diplomat and senior foreign policy expert has called on US President Donald Trump to send Iran a “demanding proposal” with “a time limit to accept”, before taking further action that could draw Washington directly into conflict.
Richard Hass, a veteran diplomat and former president of the Council on Foreign Relations think tank, said in a post on X that Trump should demand Iranian denuclearisation with verification “in exchange for no attack and sanctions relief”.
“If rejected, US should attack Fordow and other sites. Better to avoid war if possible, but Iran cannot become the next North Korea,” he said.
Iran has threatened to target US interests in the Middle East region should Trump decide to be directly involved in Israel’s military operation.
