On-going war report.

In Operation Lion's Raw, images from overnight Israeli airstrikes on Tehran

show Meribad International Airport among the targets.

In direct Israel-Iran clashes, reports indicate the Mossad Center message

to Iranians stating that the final battle will begin soon,

and another noting we are with you.

In Iranian retaliation, the United Arab Emirates says fuel depots

that Dubai International Airport were damaged in an overnight drone attack

attributed to Iran.

The airport was closed for several hours and traffic was redirected to Al-Maktoom

with some flight movements resuming in Dubai.

Iran again attacked the airport in Dubai.

Two missiles were launched from Iran at Central and Southern Israel overnight

with no reports of injuries.

In US military role, sent-com released video documenting the aerial

refueling of a B-1 Lancer, illustrating ongoing air operations in the region.

In regional impacts, Japan and Australia said they were not planning to send

navy vessels to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz.

After President Trump urged allies to form a coalition to reopen the vital waterway,

the conflict spillovers have unsettled energy markets,

with Brent Crude trading higher and regional markets showing mixed results.

In the conflict with Iran and its regional proxies,

the Israeli defense forces say forces from the 91st Division

have begun ground operations in Southern Lebanon targeting key objectives

to widen the forward defense zone.

In US policy concerning Israel,

Trump said Israel is doing its part to help secure the Strait of Hormuz

and described his relationship with Prime Minister Netanyahu as extraordinary.

In Israeli domestic politics, Neur Hefetz,

a longtime associate of Netanyahu, said the court decision appears to reflect

the legal reality and that it is not dramatic,

noting that enforcement authorities and two levels of courts had concluded he could return.

Other reports suggest a deal could bring Naftali Bennett back into Netanyahu's government.

In Israeli economy and business,

businesses face heightened cyber threats as regional tensions rise.

Biznet, Bezek's Business Internet Service,

offers real-time threat blocking,

network security across all connected devices,

measures to reduce phishing and impersonation,

and 24-slash-7 dedicated support and ongoing security updates.
