Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed on Sunday that Iran's Islamic regime plotted to assassinate President Donald Trump, viewing him as a central impediment to its nuclear ambitions.

"They want to kill him. He's enemy number one. He's a decisive leader. He never took the path that others took to try to bargain with them in a way that is weak, giving them basically a pathway to enrich uranium, which means a pathway to the bomb, padding it with billions and billions of dollars," Netanyahu told Fox News.

"He took up this fake agreement and basically tore it up. He killed Qassem Soleimani. He made it very clear, including now, ‘You cannot have a nuclear weapon, which means you cannot enrich uranium.’ He's been very forceful, so for them, he's enemy number one," added Netanyahu.

Netanyahu, who revealed he was also a target of the regime after a missile was fired into the bedroom window of his home, stated Israel faced an "imminent threat, a dual existential threat" from Iran's nuclear program and missile buildup.

He affirmed, "No country can sustain that... we had to act."

Netanyahu added that he believes "Operation Rising Lion" significantly "set back" Iran's nuclear efforts, citing "going nowhere" negotiations. Iran's retaliation was largely thwarted. Netanyahu asserted Israel protects the world. (INN/VFI News)

“Our heavenly Father, we pray that You would protect the leaders of Israel and its allies from plots of violence. We pray for protection over all the civilians in Israel, our soldiers and those in positions of decision-making. Please bring peace to Israel and wisdom to those who defend it.”

Missile debris from Iran’s latest ballistic barrage struck two locations on Sunday, igniting a rooftop fire in al-Bireh, just meters from Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s residence, and wounding three children near the village of Sa’ir, according to local officials and eyewitnesses.

Residents of al-Bireh, the twin city of Ramallah, reported “a huge boom” at roughly 11:20 a.m. Video posted by Ramallah-based outlets showed jagged metal from what security sources identified as an Iranian Shahab-class missile embedded in a rooftop water tank.

Roughly 90 minutes later, additional fragments — believed to be from a missile intercepted high over central Israel — landed outside Sa’ir, northeast of Hebron. The Palestinian Red Crescent said three children, aged six, seven, and twelve, were cut by flying glass; all were treated at .

Police sealed off both areas while bomb disposal teams gathered evidence. Preliminary analysis pointed to wreckage from a Shahab-3 warhead destroyed by Israel’s Arrow-3 system during Operation Rising Lion. (JPost/VFI News)

“Dear Lord, we ask for Your protection over all innocent lives in this time of war. Please bring healing to the wounded children and comfort their families. Let Your peace prevail across Judea and Samaria and all over Israel.”

The Israeli Air Force conducted an airstrike Saturday on Iranian soldiers who had launched a ballistic missile toward Israel from western Iran — marking a significant expansion of Israel’s military reach.

The IDF released footage of the operation, showing precision targeting of enemy forces. Analysts noted that Israel’s ability to operate freely over western Iran and Tehran itself indicates a substantial upgrade in aerial capabilities and strategic depth.

This marks a departure from earlier assumptions about Israel’s limitations in reaching and striking Iranian soil. It also reflects a shift in Israeli defense posture following Iran’s escalation.

Israel continues its Operation Rising Lion, which aims to degrade Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure. Defense officials remain on high alert as Iran persists in its aggression. (BB/VFI News)

“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” – Exodus 14:14

Israel deliberately refrained from bombing Iran’s fortified Fordo nuclear site during Operation Rising Lion, reportedly due to concerns that an attack could cause a radiological incident.

Western analysts believe striking the Fordo site — buried deep in a mountain — could release radioactive material, potentially creating a “dirty bomb” scenario. While Israel has struck other key facilities, including Natanz and Isfahan, it has avoided the most sensitive stockpiles.

Prime Minister Netanyahu confirmed that Iran holds enough enriched uranium to construct at least nine nuclear bombs. Israeli officials hope current operations will pressure Iran into surrendering its stockpile voluntarily.

This mirrors Israel’s past strategic restraint, such as when it struck Iraq’s Osirak reactor in 1981 and Syria’s suspected reactor in 2007, both before radioactive material was introduced. (YNN/VFI News)

The support from donors and local businesses makes a significant impact on the safety and well-being of these communities.

Iran has reached out to Oman and Qatar to mediate a ceasefire and resume nuclear negotiations with the United States, according to sources speaking to The Jerusalem Post. Saudi Arabia is also involved in promoting a broader ceasefire framework.

This comes as the U.S. maintains its stance that only full Iranian compliance, including halting uranium enrichment, will bring Israeli military actions to an end.

U.S. President Donald Trump stated, “We could easily reach an agreement between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!” while Israeli officials hope Iran’s rejection of the deal will prompt American military involvement.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry responded critically, stating that talks are meaningless while Israeli strikes continue. (JPost/VFI News)

“Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.” – Psalm 34:14

Cybersecurity firm Radware reported a 700% increase in cyberattacks against Israel in the days following public news of Israeli strikes on Iran. Iranian-linked state actors and hacker groups were behind most of the incidents.

The attacks included DDoS assaults, infiltration attempts, malware distribution, and data breaches targeting government websites, banks, and communication firms.

Experts warn that Iran’s cyber strategy is escalating as a parallel front in the broader conflict. Israel’s cyber defense infrastructure has withstood the worst, but officials urge continued vigilance. (JPost/VFI News)

“Lord, we ask that You protect Israel’s digital frontiers and grant wisdom and foresight to those defending its infrastructure.”

Israel’s war with Iran is costing the country an estimated 2.75 billion shekels ($725 million) per day in direct military expenses, with offensive and defensive actions splitting the costs evenly, a former senior defense official stated.

The financial toll excludes civilian damage and broader economic consequences. The Israeli Finance Ministry has raised its tax revenue forecast but also lowered its economic growth outlook from 4.3% to 3.6%.

Experts note that the war with Gaza had already strained the budget. The Compensation Fund has disbursed billions in aid for civilian property damage and may need more funding. (YNN/VFI News)

Prime Minister Netanyahu confirmed that an Israeli strike in Tehran killed Mohammad Kazemi, head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard intelligence, and his deputy Hassan Mohaghegh. The operation marked one of the most significant hits on Iran’s security leadership.

The IDF stated the strike also hit missile and air defense sites tied to the IRGC. Defense Chief Eyal Zamir declared the offensive is “changing the strategic reality.”

Israel has vowed to continue targeting high-value assets to eliminate existential threats. (YNN/VFI News)
