A building in Kiryat Shmona was struck, leaving a 60-year-old man seriously injured and a 70-year-old woman moderately injured. The Israeli Defense Forces warned the threat remains and called for a rapid end to the attacks. The Air Force commander indicated Iran may delay its response, and officials described the opening strike in Iran as unfolding with notable intensity. The IDF said that Iran’s military has been set back years, but cautioned the regime could become more radical and pursue nuclear weapons. The IDF also noted it has focused efforts on creating conditions for anti-regime demonstrations, though there is no clear sign those efforts will bear fruit.In Regional Impacts, air raid sirens were heard in the Modiin area and in the southern region following the launches from Iran.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Yair Golan issued a severe warning to Prime Minister Netanyahu that Israel lacks a political strategy for Lebanon and cannot rely on military action alone without a diplomatic plan.
