The Attorney General, who once took care to ensure an effective protest even if it disrupted public order, might imagine, please, that this time it's anti-reform protesters rather than anti-draft ones? Maybe then we’d hear something from her.

IDF Spokesperson:

Earlier today (Wednesday), an IDF soldier was seriously wounded, two IDF soldiers were moderately wounded, and two other IDF soldiers sustained light injuries as a result of an explosive drone strike in southern Lebanon.

The soldiers were evacuated to a hospital for medical treatment, and their families have been notified.

The incident occurred around 6:00 a.m., when an explosive drone detonated near a tank belonging to the Givati Brigade’s combat team, wounding four soldiers.

A few minutes later, another explosive drone detonated — on the evacuation vehicle — injuring another soldier.

Trump on Iran:

In deals, you can never really know what’s going on, but you’ll find out soon. They want to sign the agreement and return to normal life.

If they don’t sign — we’ll have to resume military action, like we did with the assassination of Soleimani and with the B-2 bombers.

Trump: Israel can defend itself in Lebanon – but I want it to exercise discretion.

Netanyahu and Gofman’s meeting at the Mossad headquarters

Trump on Netanyahu: Bibi is a wonderful man, he gets emotional from time to time. We have a good partnership, but we have a disagreement about Lebanon. I told him to be gentler with Lebanon and not bring down a building just because there’s a Hezbollah man inside. We have a good partnership, but he’s the smaller part of the partnership, and we’re the ones who make the decisions.

Trump: We sent a draft to Israel, they are great partners.

Another evening of Trump’s crazy remarks:

1. After months of explaining why Iran must not have missiles, he now explains that as long as other countries have them, Iran should have them too.

2. He thinks that Jolani should deal with Hezbollah because, unlike Israel, he doesn’t topple buildings but handles things in a targeted manner.

There’s nothing like the precise, humane treatment of ISIS.

The Air Force intercepted several rockets that were launched toward IDF forces operating in southern Lebanon. Several additional rockets landed near the troops; there were no casualties.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson: It is possible that Trump and Mojtaba will sign the memorandum of understanding in Switzerland.

Reporter: “A wise man once said, in January 2020: ‘Iran has never won a war, but has never lost a negotiation.’”
Trump: “Who said that?”
Reporter: “Donald Trump.”

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson: The continuation of IDF activity in southern Lebanon will be considered a violation of the memorandum of understanding — and Iran will respond to it.

After outrage from the ultra-Orthodox community, the police commissioner announced: “If it turns out that commanders and officers at the Bnei Brak demonstration this morning acted against regulations, we will not hesitate to deal with it severely and suspend them from operational duty. Senior commanders were present at the protest, and my expectation of them is to maintain control over the event.”

In addition: The officer who kicked one of the ultra-Orthodox protesters has been suspended.

Senator Lindsey Graham: I changed my mind; after speaking with Witkoff, this agreement basically opens the Hormuz, and that’s a good thing.
