The latest from Israel Today: Reports indicate Iran launched missile attacks targeting U.S. forces in Jordan and naval assets in the Strait of Hormuz, with U.S. air defenses intercepting most projectiles. In response, the U.S. Treasury announced plans for weekly secondary sanctions on Iranian banks to heighten economic pressure. Domestically, Israeli politics are buzzing with pre-election activity, including active merger talks between several parties and disputes over Likud primary election results, as polls suggest potential shifts in the party landscape.
