There is some material damage and no injuries reported. Separately, sources aligned with the Iranian opposition say that one frigate attacked by Israel at the port of Anzali on the Caspian Sea appears to have returned from Russia, and there is a high likelihood that equipment to aid Iran in warfare is on board, possibly related to drones.In US Military Role, the overnight briefing notes that French President Emmanuel Macron spoke with the Emir of Qatar and with US President Donald Trump after damage to gas facilities in Iran and in Qatar. Trump asserted that Israel attacked the Pars gas field without prior coordination with the United States, which has drawn difficulties with Qatar. The Pentagon is seeking a budget exceeding $200 billion for a campaign in Iran, and Washington is weighing the deployment of thousands more troops to the region. Reports of drones over a sensitive base in Washington were also noted. In Israel, a vehicle was damaged by shrapnel in Ramat Gan and burned, with no injuries. A man was killed in a traffic accident near Beit Horon. In London, indictments were filed against Iranians who tracked Jewish institutions. Foreign Minister Saar said that Israel has been attacked from Lebanon more than 2,000 times since the start of the month.In Regional Impacts, alarms were activated, signaling emergency alerts in multiple areas. Separately, a fire broke out at Dubai airport after an attack attributed to Iran.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Iranian proxies plotting to assassinate top Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as part of a revenge plot were reported. In southern Lebanon, Israeli forces say they eliminated more than 20 Hezbollah militants in two incidents, and airstrikes destroyed dozens of Hezbollah military structures. Weapons seized included RPGs, anti-tank missiles, ammunition, a hunting rifle, and other equipment. Overnight, a man in the Sharon region was killed by shrapnel; three women were killed in Hebron; a woman around 40 was killed in Lod; a missile strike damaged a house in the Neta moshav area, causing extensive destruction.In US Policy Concerning Israel, an article notes that after a resignation, a former Trump-era counterterrorism official is under FBI scrutiny over alleged classified disclosures. A separate account argues that Trump knew in advance about the attack on the Iranian gas facility yesterday and approved it, portraying his actions as leveraging the event to protect an ally while avoiding direct criticism of Israel.In Israeli Economy and Business, Israeli retail technology funding rose to $463 million in 2025, up from $197 million in 2024, according to a joint report by Re: Tech Innovation Hub with StartUp Nation Central, Moonshot, and Metrico.
