The United Kingdom has issued a directive strongly discouraging its citizens from traveling to Israel or areas under the Palestinian Authority due to the intensifying hostilities between Israel and Iran.

British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said, “The UK now advises against all travel to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. My message to British nationals there is clear – your safety remains our top priority. Follow our travel advice for the latest updates.”

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) echoed that position, announcing, “FCDO now advises against all travel to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. British nationals should continue to follow the advice of local authorities.”

The government cited the recent wave of Iranian missile and drone strikes on Israel as a key factor in the decision. “Iran has launched multiple rounds of missile and drone attacks against Israel. On 13 June a nationwide state of emergency was declared in Israel. This followed Israeli strikes against nuclear and military facilities in Iran. Israeli airspace remains closed,” the advisory noted.

Additionally, UK citizens were warned that traveling to the region under current conditions could invalidate their travel insurance, leaving them without coverage in the event of an emergency.

As Israel’s airspace stays shut due to security threats stemming from the ongoing conflict with Iran, the country’s major airlines — El Al, Arkia, Israir, and Air Haifa — have extended their suspension of all flights, with cancellations now continuing through at least June 17.

El Al announced Sunday that it has grounded all its scheduled flights, including those of its budget carrier Sun d’Or, until Tuesday. The airline also specified that routes to and from numerous international cities — such as Berlin, Barcelona, Warsaw, Munich, Lisbon, Tokyo, Venice, Thessaloniki, and Moscow — will remain on hold through June 23.

“We understand the distress and uncertainty this situation is causing our passengers, both those stranded abroad and those with disrupted travel plans,” the airline said in a statement. El Al pledged to resume regular service and launch rescue flights from nearby hubs once clearance is granted by security and aviation officials.

El Al emphasized that rescue flight bookings will be made available exclusively through a special link on its website. The company also noted that its call centers are in emergency mode and handling only urgent customer needs.

Arkia released a similar announcement, stating that all flights scheduled through June 17 are canceled. The airline said it is operating in close cooperation with aviation authorities and the IDF’s Home Front Command.

For passengers who made bookings by June 12 for travel between June 15 and June 30, Arkia is offering flight credit valid for two years. Travelers who purchased full vacation packages will be reimbursed for the flight component, though hotel fees may still apply unless waived by the hotel.

Israir confirmed that all of its flights — including those to Eilat — have been canceled through June 16. The airline is offering credit to passengers who booked by June 13 for flights originally scheduled through June 30. No new reservations are being accepted for departures through June 16.

Due to limited operations, Israir’s customer support is only available via WhatsApp between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. local time.

President Donald Trump expressed confidence on Sunday that Israel and Iran will ultimately come to an agreement, despite the recent eruption of hostilities between the two nations following a wave of Israeli preemptive attacks on Tehran.

Reflecting on his previous international diplomatic efforts, Trump lamented that he often receives little acknowledgment for his role in brokering peace around the globe. He pointed to several examples of past success where his administration had mediated between adversaries.

“Iran and Israel should make a deal, and will make a deal, just like I got India and Pakistan to make, in that case by using TRADE with the United States to bring reason, cohesion, and sanity into the talks with two excellent leaders who were able to quickly make a decision and STOP!” Trump wrote on Truth Social Sunday.

Tensions between Israel and Iran remain high. At the same time Trump posted his message, Iranian officials accused Israel of being behind five car bomb explosions that rocked Tehran earlier that day.

Last week, Israel launched a series of coordinated strikes inside Iran, aiming at nuclear-related infrastructure. The attacks killed senior military leaders and eliminated several top scientists tied to the regime’s nuclear program.

Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu said the strikes were “just the beginning,” while Iranian leadership has vowed a severe and forceful response.

Trump referenced additional examples from his presidency, asserting that his influence had halted several long-running regional disputes. “During my first term, Serbia and Kosovo were going at it hot and heavy, as they have for many decades, and this long time conflict was ready to break out into WAR. I stopped it (Biden has hurt the longer term prospects with some very stupid decisions, but I will fix it, again!),” Trump further claimed.

He also cited his involvement in defusing tensions in Northeast Africa. “Another case is Egypt and Ethiopia, and their fight over a massive dam that is having an effect on the magnificent Nile River. There is peace, at least for now, because of my intervention, and it will stay that way!” he went on.

Trump concluded his remarks with optimism about a future breakthrough in the Middle East. “Likewise, we will have PEACE, soon, between Israel and Iran! Many calls and meetings now taking place. I do a lot, and never get credit for anything, but that’s OK, the PEOPLE understand. MAKE THE MIDDLE EAST GREAT AGAIN!”

Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu paid a visit to the scene in Bat Yam where an Iranian missile strike led to the deaths of six civilians, the disappearance of three others, and left many more injured.

Walking through the devastation, Netanyahu was briefed by emergency responders still searching through the wreckage for possible survivors.

“I am here in Bat Yam with Home Front Command and rescue forces. On behalf of the entire people of Israel, I express sorrow over the loss of life that occurred here. Our hearts are with the families. It is necessary and vital to follow the instructions of the Home Front Command, because those who listened and stayed in protected areas were saved. Those who did not—unfortunately, were harmed,” the Prime Minister stated.

Addressing the broader implications of the attack, Netanyahu emphasized the stakes of the current confrontation. “We are here because we are in an existential battle, one that every citizen of Israel now understands. Think about what would happen if Iran had nuclear weapons to drop on Israeli cities.

“Think about what would happen if Iran had 20,000 such missiles. Not one—20,000. This is an existential threat to Israel. That is why we have launched a war of rescue against a dual annihilation threat, and we are doing so with strength. Our soldiers, our pilots, are above the skies of Iran. Iran will pay a very heavy price for the murder of civilians, women, and children—a deliberate act. We will achieve our objective and deal them a powerful blow. They will feel the weight of our response. Until then, and during this war, I ask you, citizens of Israel, to follow the Home Front Command’s instructions. It will save your lives.

‘And you shall greatly guard your souls’—guard your soul, guard your body, guard your life—and together, with God’s help, we will prevail. We are on the path to victory,” Netanyahu said.

President Isaac Herzog also arrived at the site along with his wife, Michal Herzog. Speaking to the press, Herzog reflected on the human toll of the attack.

In his remarks, President Herzog said: “Civilians of all ages, all backgrounds—Jews and Muslims, young and old, veteran Israelis and new immigrants, Holocaust survivors and toddlers, were unfortunately, and so sadly, killed by a horrendous Iranian attack against our cities.

“Iran has decided that they are attacking civilians, no matter where, and no matter what. And we, of course, will continue to defend ourselves.

“Our aim is to change the reality in the Middle East. It cannot be that the empire of evil will continue to attack and attack, send its proxies and its terror, its missiles, and of course, develop nuclear capability, which is the most dangerous capability for humanity. So we are defending not only Israel, but the Middle East, humanity itself, world peace, and I call upon the leaders of the G7 who will convene tomorrow in Canada: They should all be with us, because if you want to get the nukes out, better work together, with us, and make sure that Iran does not reach its capability—and that our region can move to peace and dialogue and coexistence and rapprochement.“

The missile strike claimed six lives: three women aged approximately 60, 80, and 50; a teenage boy around 18; and two children—a boy of about 10 and a girl roughly 8 years old. Officials from the Home Front Command confirmed that the missile was a direct hit and carried a payload weighing several hundred kilograms.

The structure that was struck had fortified rooms (mamad) on every level as well as a communal underground shelter. Those who took shelter inside these protected areas survived unharmed. The fatalities occurred outside those safe zones. Authorities estimate that cleanup and recovery at the site will require at least another full day.

Meanwhile, rescue teams continue combing through the debris in search of the three individuals still unaccounted for. Four other missing people were located alive at a local hospital after intensive efforts.

Bat Yam Mayor Tzvika Brot shared a grim description of the aftermath. “Even before most of the rescue forces arrived, the road here was littered with metal,” he said from the site. “Dust covered all the vehicles and people were lying in the street—scenes reminiscent of the Twin Towers disaster.”

He further noted, “Right now, 61 buildings have been damaged, of which six or seven will likely have to be demolished—and that number may rise to double digits. It’s quite unprecedented to have to demolish this many buildings from a single strike. Unfortunately, the evacuation is still not complete. We expect the number to rise. We know there are still people trapped, and we hope there aren’t many.”

A large fire is seen at Mashhad Airport in northeast Iran, following an alleged Israeli airstrike on military aircraft.

Video reportedly shows an airstrike near Tehran targeting a suspected missile base. Orange smoke at the scene suggests the presence of rocket fuel.

Sen. Lindsey Graham: “If diplomacy is not successful, and we are left with the option of force, I would urge President Trump to go all in, to make sure that when this operation is over, there’s nothing left standing in Iran regarding their nuclear program.”

Israel’s strikes against Iran were a “calculated and necessary action” that was “carried out in response to an escalating existential threat,” Danny Danon, Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, told reporters in New York at the global body’s headquarters.

The Islamic Republic has a long history of funding and training terror proxies across the Middle East, but the direct threat from the regime “took a dramatic turn,” Danon said. “Iran advanced significantly toward nuclear weapons capabilities.”

Danon pointed to a secret program, which Israeli intelligence uncovered, that showed dangerous Iranian progress toward a nuclear bomb. It also revealed plans for a surprise attack on Israel in coordination with Iran’s proxies, with an invasion “from all sides, with thousands of terrorists and thousands of projectiles” going beyond an Oct. 7-style attack and incorporating “a nuclear strike,” the envoy said.

Israel “could not, and would not, wait for that moment to arrive,” he said.

He noted “an absence of meaningful international consequences” to Iran’s “repeated violations” and its “continued deception” amid a recent International Atomic Energy Agency report showing that Tehran’s nuclear program was outside the parameters of its international commitments. The report also showed that Iran obscures the details of its nuclear program.

Danon chided António Guterres, the U.N. secretary-general, who issued a statement earlier on Friday expressing “concern” over Israel’s operation.

“I must ask: Where was the secretary-general when Iran spent years arming itself while vowing to wipe Israel off the map?” Danon said. “Where was his voice when Iran rained hundreds of missiles and drones on our civilians?”

At Iran’s request, the U.N. Security Council is slated to meet at 3 p.m. in New York on Friday—first in an open setting and then behind closed doors to discuss Israel’s operation and its aftermath.

“We will not sit quietly while our people are targeted,” Danon said. “Not again. Not ever. Empty words will not stop Iran. Israel will.” JNS

The Israeli military has confirmed that Iran’s most recent strike, carried out less than an hour ago, involved only a small number of ballistic missiles.

According to the IDF, the limited barrage was effectively countered by Israel’s air defense systems, which successfully intercepted most of the incoming threats. There have been no confirmed missile landings on Israeli territory.

Magen David Adom also reported that there were no injuries or medical incidents resulting from the attempted strike.

Following an assessment of the situation, the Home Front Command has announced that civilians across the country may safely exit their protected spaces, as the immediate danger has passed.

A heartbreaking tragedy has struck the community of Monsey, as four-year-old Golda Eisenbach a”h passed away from her injuries after being struck by a drunk driver on Motzoei Shabbos.

Golda was the daughter of Rav Yisroel Eisenbach, a distinguished member of the Skverer community, renowned askan, and longtime member of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Spring Valley. Her mother, Mrs. Rochel Freida, is a pillar of the local community as well.

The young child was initially treated at the scene by Rockland County Hatzolah volunteers before being transported to a nearby hospital. She was later transferred to Westchester Medical Center, where doctors sadly pronounced her petirah.

All are asked to daven for the recovery of other victims of the accident: Baruch Avrohom Yisroel ben Chava Yitta, Chaim Yehuda ben Esther Kreindel, and Ephraim Yosef ben Esther Kreindel

The levayah is scheduled to take place today at 12:30 p.m., departing from the home of the Skverer Rebbe on Jefferson Avenue in Shikun Skver. Kevurah will follow at the Skverer beis hachaim.

When Akiva Zuravin set out to develop Jerusalem Estates, he wasn’t simply building luxury apartments—he was making a statement. A quiet one, as is his way. But unmistakable. Tucked into the historic Schneller compound in the heart of the frum neighborhoods and within walking distance of prominent Chassidic centers, Jerusalem Estates became more than just a sought-after address. It became a symbol of what’s possible when vision, values, and execution align.

“We weren’t just creating buildings,” Zuravin reflects. “We were shaping something that felt deeply connected to its surroundings—authentic, beautiful, and thoughtfully done.”

It was that mindset that set Jerusalem Estates apart—and that continues to define Zuravin’s approach today. With Ir Olam, his most ambitious development yet, the goal is even broader: not just to build homes, but to shape the rhythm of modern life in Jerusalem.

Located adjacent to Givat Shaul, Kiryat Moshe, and Beit Hakerem, and minutes away from Har Nof, Ir Olam rises from the grounds of the old flour mill—once an industrial area and now envisioned as one of Jerusalem’s most forward-looking quarters for living, working, and gathering.

Where Jerusalem Estates was a residential landmark, Ir Olam is a full-scale quarter:
Three luxury residential towers.
Two LEED Platinum-certified office buildings.
A boutique shopping boulevard.
Green rooftops, shuls, co-working areas, a school, and a central piazza designed to foster everyday connection.

But beyond design and functionality lies a deeper intention: community. At Jerusalem Estates, Zuravin prioritized buyers who shared common values—people who could not only live alongside one another but thrive together. That same care is being applied at Ir Olam.

“When people share the same rhythm of life,” Zuravin explains, “the entire experience becomes more meaningful. The gym, the shul, the party room—they’re not just amenities. They’re points of connection.”

In Ir Olam, where residents will share workspaces, rooftops, lounges, and lifestyle services, community isn’t just a feature—it’s part of the architecture. The goal is a natural, respectful cohesion that allows for privacy and belonging to coexist.

The project was conceived by Yashar Architects, whose signature blends functionality with elegance, and is being built to international standards of environmental sustainability and urban planning. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, with user experience at the core.

Zuravin builds with intention and with an understanding of what Jerusalem is, and what it still can be.

Ir Olam is the next chapter in that story. A new neighborhood for a city that continues to evolve—thoughtfully, gracefully, and always with purpose.
Crafted for those who know.

BREAKING FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP: Iran and Israel should make a deal, and will make a deal, just like I got India and Pakistan to make….

Iranian media outlets reported that air defense systems were reactivated throughout Tehran on Sunday afternoon in response to a new wave of incoming projectiles from Israel. According to the reports, Israeli strikes resumed across multiple areas of the capital.

At the same time, attacks were also recorded in the city of Tabriz and surrounding areas, while loud blasts were reported near Mehrabad Airport in Tehran.

The IDF announced on Sunday morning that approximately 50 Israeli Air Force jets had been deployed overnight above Tehran, conducting a wide-scale assault on installations connected to Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.

According to the military, the aircraft carried out attacks on 80 high-value targets throughout Tehran. These included the main offices of the Iranian Defense Ministry, facilities linked to Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and various locations believed to be used by the regime to conceal its nuclear archives.

Since Operation Rising Lion commenced in the early hours of Friday, the Israeli military has struck over 170 targets and dismantled 720 elements of Iranian military infrastructure.

TORAH – THE GREATEST PROTECTION! This Yid doesn’t waste a second, as learns while sheltering in Bnei Brak.  

ושאבתם מים בששון! An IDF strike hit some type of water main in Tehran, adding to the chaos of gridlock and panic, and millions attempt to flee to nowhere.

At least 11 people were killed overnight in a wave of Iranian missile attacks on civilian areas across Israel.

Seven people were killed when an apartment building in Bat Yam, just south of Tel Aviv, sustained a direct hit, according to the Magen David Adom emergency medical service. A 4-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy are among the dead.

Rescue efforts are ongoing at the scene, where two people remained unaccounted for beneath the rubble after four of the missing were found at hospitals. At least 180 others were wounded in the strike, according to Daniel Hadad, Ayalon region director of the Israel Defense Forces’ Home Front Command.

Four members of the Khatib family were killed in Tamra, a village in the Lower Galilee, 12 miles east of Acre, when an Iranian missile hit their residence. The victims were identified as Manar Khatib, 45, her daughters Shada 20, and Hala, 13, and their relative, Manal Khatib, 41. Fourteen others were wounded in the strike.

A missile strike in Haifa injured 13 people, all of whom were reported to be in moderate or mild condition.

Meanwhile, in Rechovot in central Israel, a direct hit on a building left 37 people wounded, two seriously, Magen David Adom said. The Weizmann Institute of Science in the same city said that several of its buildings were damaged by the missile barrage, but that there were no casualties, adding that the institute is in contact with security and emergency services to ensure the safety of its staff and campus.

 

Dozens more were hurt in other missile impacts across the country.

The IDF Home Front Command was continuing to operate at the impact zones in Bat Yam, Tamra and Rehovot on Sunday morning.

Nearly 80 missiles were fired at Israel in two barrages, according to estimates in the defense establishment, Israeli media reported on Sunday. About 40 missiles were fired at the north, and approximately 35 missiles targeted the central region.

Earlier, between Friday and early Shabbos morning, three more civilians were killed by Iranian ballistic missile attacks on central Israel.

“A very sad and difficult morning. Our brothers and sisters were murdered and injured last night in heinous Iranian attacks against the civilian population in Bat Yam, Tamra and other communities,” Israeli President Isaac Herzog said on Sunday.

“Jews and Arabs, longtime citizens and new immigrants, including children and the elderly, women and men. I share in the families’ deep sorrow and mourn this terrible loss. I pray for the recovery of the wounded and the safe return of the missing. We will mourn together. We will overcome together,” he added.

Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu said, “In the very near future, you will see Israeli Air Force jets over the skies of Tehran—we will strike every site and every target belonging to the ayatollah regime.”

Iran’s nuclear program “was dealt a significant blow,” Netanyahu stressed, referring to the Jewish state’s largest-ever attack against the Islamic Republic, which began on June 13.

The goal of “Operation Rising Lion” is twofold: to dismantle both the Iranian nuclear and ballistic missile threats, the premier said.

Earlier on Saturday, the IDF announced that it had “established aerial superiority from western Iran to Tehran,” allowing Israeli aircraft to operate freely across a wide swath of territory.

This unprecedented freedom of action was achieved by systematically destroying Iranian radar installations, surface-to-air missile batteries and command centers, making it possible for Israeli jets and drones to identify and strike additional targets, including mobile ballistic missile launchers poised to fire at Israel before they could be launched.

Israel’s ongoing operation could extend over “weeks, not days,” according to a CNN report citing White House and Israeli officials.

U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly aligned with the projected timeline and has expressed support for Israel’s approach.

“The Trump administration firmly believes this can be resolved through continued negotiations with the U.S.,” an American official told CNN, emphasizing, however, that Washington does not intend to dictate how Israel should defend itself.

Israeli Defense Minister Yisroe Katz issued a stark warning, declaring that “Tehran will burn” if Iran continues to fire on Israeli population centers.

“The Iranian dictator is turning Iranian citizens into hostages and creating a reality in which they—especially the residents of Tehran—will pay a heavy price for the criminal harm to Israeli citizens,” he said. JNS

UPDATE: There are no reports of impacts or injuries in the latest Iranian ballistic missile attack on Israel, Magen David Adom says. It appears Yemen may have fired a missile the same time.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who ran alongside Kamala Harris on the 2024 Democratic ticket, raised eyebrows this week by suggesting that communist China could potentially be seen as a leading moral voice in the ongoing hostilities between Israel and Iran.

Speaking at a forum hosted by the Center for American Progress, Walz made the remarks while discussing the fallout from Israel’s military actions against Iran. As reported by Fox News, Walz stated, “Iran has to retaliate, in their mind,” adding that the region had reignited into chaos: “The Middle East is back on fire in a way that has now expanded.”

He then shifted focus to the question of international mediation, posing, “Now who is the voice in the world that can negotiate some type of agreement in this? Who holds the moral authority? Who holds the ability to do that?” He went on to say, “Because we are not seen as a neutral actor, and we maybe never were. I don’t want to tell anybody that. I think there’s a lot of people that say, ‘You always lean one way in this.’ But I think there was at least an attempt to be somewhat of the arbitrator in this. We saw President Carter do it with Begin and Sadat. We’ve had certain wins along the way that were actually mutually beneficial both ways. Now I ask who that is. And, I mean, consistently over and over again we’re gonna have to face the reality, it might be the Chinese.”

These comments came in the aftermath of Thursday night’s Israeli airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear and military assets, which led to a barrage of Iranian missiles directed at Yerushalayim and Tel Aviv in retaliation.

Following the strikes, Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed retribution against Israel, threatening a “bitter and painful” fate for the Jewish state after several top-ranking military commanders were killed in the Israeli offensive.

Scrutiny surrounding Walz’s connection to China has intensified over the past year. Breitbart News contributor Peter Schweizer reported in August that Walz had ties to “secret police stations that the Chinese have here in the United States.”

Further adding to the controversy, a Breitbart report in September noted that Walz—who previously worked in education—had spent time teaching in China in 1989 and had made repeated trips to the country in subsequent years. As the leader of student excursions to China, his relationship with the Chinese Communist Party has come under increasing examination by House Republicans since he was selected as Kamala Harris’s running mate.

It is with deep sorrow that YWN informs the tzibur of the petira of 4‑year‑old Golda Eisenbach a”h, who was critically injured after being struck by a drunk driver on Motzei Shabbos on Old Nyack Turnpike in Monsey. Golda a”h was the daughter of Spring Valley Village Trustee Yisroel Eisenbach. She was initially transported by Rockland Hatzoloh to Nyack Hospital and later transferred to Westchester Medical Center, where she was tragically niftar. The Levaya will be held on Sunday afternoon at 12:30 PM at the home of the Skvere Rebbe, located at 10 Jefferson Avenue in New Square, followed by the Kevura at the Skvere Beis HaChaim. The tzibur is urged to daven for the refuah sheleimah of the three other victims of the same crash: Baruch Avraham Yisroel Ben Chava Yitta (critical) Chaim Yehuda Ben Esther Kreindel (stable) Efraim Yosef Ben Esther Kreindel (stable) Besuros Tovos.

Israel’s military campaign against Iranian targets is anticipated to continue for several weeks  – “weeks, not days” – rather than wrapping up quickly, according to CNN, which cited both American and Israeli government sources. This prolonged timeline has reportedly been met with quiet assent from Washington.

Talks between Israeli and U.S. officials have made it clear that both sides share a mutual understanding about the extended nature of the operation. A senior Israeli official told CNN that the Trump administration has not raised any objections in private regarding the operation lasting several weeks.

Further highlighting the alignment between the two allies, a source within the White House confirmed that the administration is fully briefed on Israel’s objectives and, implicitly, backs the initiative. The official also noted that how long the hostilities will last will largely depend on how Tehran chooses to respond.

While reaffirming the commitment to diplomacy, the same White House official added, “The Trump administration firmly believes this can be solved by continuing negotiations with the US.” The official also stressed that Israel has full discretion in defending itself, explaining that the U.S. “was not going to direct Israel to do anything but defend itself.”

Trump shared his own perspective on the matter in a post on Truth Social, writing that he believes the conflict between Israel and Iran “should end.”

He wrote: “President Putin called this morning to very nicely wish me a Happy Birthday, but to more importantly, talk about Iran, a country he knows very well. We talked at length. Much less time was spent talking about Russia/Ukraine, but that will be for next week. He is doing the planned prisoner swaps – large numbers of prisoners are being exchanged, immediately, from both sides. The call lasted approximately 1 hour. He feels, as do I, this war in Israel-Iran should end, to which I explained, his war should also end.”

On Friday, Trump told Barak Ravid of Axios that he believes Israel’s heavy bombardment of Iranian facilities might actually make it easier to reach a nuclear deal between the U.S. and Iran.

When asked whether the military action had undermined his diplomatic goals, Trump replied, “I don’t think so. Maybe the opposite. Maybe now they will negotiate seriously.”

In a follow-up comment, Trump said, “I gave Iran 60 days, today is day 61. They should have made a deal.” He suggested that Iran’s weakened position after Israel’s assault could finally push them to the negotiating table. “I couldn’t get them to a deal in 60 days. They were close, they should have done it. Maybe now it will happen,” said Trump.
