from Israel Today: Ongoing War Report · host Noa Levi

HEADLINESIran vows electricity grid retaliation, regional disruptionMossad uprising plan falters, fears deter revoltTrump to visit Israel amid pardon cloudsThe time is now 3:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Operation Lion's Roar, the Mossad plan to spark Iran uprising seems to fall short as war drags on. Trump and Netanyahu embraced an optimistic strategy of assassinations and covert efforts to trigger unrest, but intelligence officials say fear of Iran’s security forces has so far prevented mass protests or a broader revolt.In Iranian Retaliation, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have warned they will retaliate for any attack on Iran’s electricity sector by targeting Israel’s power plants as well as plants supplying electricity to US bases in regional countries. The statement appears to have retracted earlier threats to desalination plants that provide drinking water in Gulf states. The message also echoed that the United States would face a matched response, with the Guards saying, if you hit electricity, we hit electricity, as Iran shifts toward greater aggression after warnings from Washington. A separate Israeli briefing notes overnight alarms in the north from Iranian launches, a nighttime incident near the Lebanon border involving a missile launcher overturning and injuries to two soldiers, and claims of Israeli strikes on Tehran, while US night reports quoted that the notion of sparking a coup in Iran was viewed as a flaw in war planning.In US Military Role, heavy USAF activity over Europe and the Middle East is reported today.In Regional Impacts, initial findings say an Israeli farmer, Ofer Moskovitz of Kibbutz Misgav Am, was killed when artillery shells fired by Israeli forces landed inside Israeli territory rather than in southern Lebanon. Separately, Iran warns it will strike critical infrastructure across the Middle East if its energy assets are attacked, a claim that raises the risk of wider disruption, including to water-related infrastructure, in the region.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, a statement attributed to Iran’s leadership hints at alignment with the rhetoric of regional actors as the war with Iran grows more tangled. Overnight alarms to the north from Iranian launches and a nighttime border incident are noted, with reports of a missile-launch scenario followed by significant damage in central areas and Israeli strikes reportedly hitting targets in Tehran. US assessments have cast doubt on the feasibility of triggering a domestic upheaval in Iran as a result of the war.In US Policy Concerning Israel, President Donald Trump confirms plans to visit Israel on Independence Day, while criticizing Israel’s president as weak and accusing Israel’s head of state of lying to him about a pardon for Prime Minister Netanyahu.In Israeli Domestic Politics, a dramatic backup plan is taking shape between the presidency and Netanyahu as the war with Iran deepens, with expectations that a decision on Netanyahu’s pardon will be reached today. In parallel, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has urged Education Minister Yoav Kisch to restructure the school calendar if the war continues past Passover, proposing to shift some summer vacation days forward and make up the losses over the summer, arguing that remote learning is ineffective and adds burdens on families. The political chatter ties into broader debates over leadership and the wartime agenda as developments concerning Netanyahu’s legal status and policy directions unfold.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) MySwimPro Swimming Technique & Training Podcast MySwimPro MySwimPro is the number one fitness application for the fastest growing sport in the world.
