Some further details have emerged regarding the tragic events in Bat Yam. During last night’s heavy rocket barrage — approximately 35 rockets launched from Iran targeted the central region of the country, and around 40 more struck the north — several buildings in Bat Yam sustained severe damage and even partially collapsed.
At this time, six people have been confirmed dead — may G-d avenge their blood! Seven others remain missing, and search-and-rescue operations are still underway at the scene.
All we can do is pray for a miracle.
The IDF continues to carry out strikes on missile facilities in Iran. Dozens of fighter jets have attacked and destroyed a wide array of infrastructure used to store and launch rockets, including the launch systems themselves.
A few encouraging developments:
Last night, the IDF struck a massive fuel depot in Tehran. The resulting fires were clearly visible throughout the city and broadcast worldwide. As a consequence, the Iranian capital is now experiencing a fuel shortage.
Additional targets were struck, including facilities across the energy, gas, and electrical sectors — this in direct response to the Iranian attacks on Israeli civilian centres. Notably, two oil refineries and two major fuel terminals were among those hit.
On Friday night, 70 fighter jets attacked 40 targets in Tehran. On Saturday night, several dozen additional targets were hit in the same city.
According to estimates, Iran has already suffered substantial losses: at least 200 fatalities and approximately 800 injuries — amounting to around a thousand casualties in total.
Last night alone, no fewer than 80 targets in Tehran were struck in a single coordinated assault. These included: the Ministry of Defence headquarters, the nuclear agency headquarters, the archive of Iran’s nuclear programme, dozens of elements of Iran’s air defence network, and a key fuel terminal.
Yesterday, it was officially confirmed that Iran’s highest-ranking intelligence officer — the head of its intelligence apparatus — was eliminated. Also killed was the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) missile forces. Alongside him, the following IRGC leaders were also taken out: the UAV unit commander, the commanders of the air force, navy, and air defence divisions. In addition, the supreme commander of all IRGC forces was eliminated.
“So let all Your enemies perish, O G-d!”
The new Syrian regime has deployed its forces to the Iraqi border — to block the entry of pro-Iranian militias attempting to cross into Syria and reach the Israeli frontier. Who would have thought? The Syrian regime deploying forces to help Israel defend against Iran...
Truly, these are the days of Moshiach!
This morning, the IDF issued an announcement in Farsi, ordering the immediate evacuation of all civilians in Iran residing near any kind of military facility.
Let us strengthen our faith together — “But one who trusts in the L‑rd, kindness will encompass him.” Let us pray to the Almighty for the safety and well-being of Israel’s soldiers, pilots, and all its people; for the healing of the wounded, together with all who are ill among the people of Israel; for the return of those who have been abducted; and for the righteousness of our leaders — that they may stand firm under pressure, both from within and without.
