Israel still remains ignored by the Guards' current overt actions — though, no one in Jerusalem considers that a settled decision. From Jerusalem to Bnei Brak to Washington, the argument over who shows up when the army calls is still roiling.
Flash Brief: The Day in 90 Seconds or Less
Hormuz: The Guards fire ballistic missiles at two American warships, and Central Command sinks or disables three Iranian tankers. See The War Today.
Ali al-Taher: Israel holds the ridge Tehran warned Washington it would defend, and Hezbollah answers with drones. See The War Today.
Gaza City: Hamas's spy hunter lies ventilated in an Israeli hospital, taken alive out of Gaza City by the Shin Bet. See The War Today.
The draft: Nine justices void the law freezing arrests of haredi draft evaders, and two freeze Levin's police-investigations statute. See Inside Israel.
Degel HaTorah: Rav Landau takes Moshe Gafni off the slate after thirty-eight years, two days before lists close. See Inside Israel.
Judea and Samaria: Four more localities get their symbols, and Netanyahu orders the Area B outposts cleared at Washington's request. See Inside Israel.
Turmus Ayya: Huckabee puts a few hundred Israelis behind the attacks against the half million living around them. See Israel and the World.
Ankara: Treasury designates a Turkish bank for moving Quds Force money, and the American ambassador narrows it inside a day. See Israel and the World.
Vance: The vice president defends his friendship with Tucker Carlson and draws his antisemitism line in Carlson's own phrase. See Israel and the World.
Adidas: A boycott campaign moves an Israeli veteran's 2021 amputation to Gaza, and the post draws four million views. See Israel and the World.
Brussels: Europe's rabbis ask governments to cut the funders, as American communal security spending passes a billion a year. See Israel and the World.
The Oval Office: Lakewood's rosh yeshiva hands Trump a letter asking him to take up the haredi draft with Jerusalem. See Israel and the World.
The vice president declined to call two navies shooting at each other a war, and an American ambassador spent a night telling Ankara that a designation naming a Turkish bank for moving Quds Force money is not a verdict on Turkey.
Today: the Guards shoot at the American navy and lose three tankers for it, Hamas's spy hunter on a ventilator, and the draft law gone.
