In direct Israel Iran clashes, defense sources say that regime change in Iran has never been a military objective, even as the war focuses on countering Iran's ballistic missile threat. They said the IDF aimed to create conditions that could allow the domestic

1:00opposition to rise and topple the regime if enough people took to the streets. And while the military would welcome such a change, it did not count on military action alone delivering it. The distinction matters because public messaging from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sometimes framed regime change as a possible future event. Whereas the military wants the public to judge the war by its limited mission parameters set at the outset, the defense sources stress that tackling Iran's missile threat remains a core objective. Across the country after warnings Syrens sounded in the center of the country and in other areas as preliminary alarms gave way to alerts. The IDF said it had resumed strikes across Iran and in Beirut. Part of the broader contest with Iran and its proxies, with the northern border posture being adjusted and forces moved to potential frontline hotspots. In the north officials described a substantial shift in readiness compared with earlier in the war, including changes on the northern border and what the military called surgical operations in Lebanon. In the south, residents were surprised

Alerts were also reported around the sea of Galilee and in the West Bank as the campaign continued and the risk of flare-ups persisted in regional impacts not just about Israel. Iran poses threat to world's oil market, Israel's ambassador to U.S. warns, the security of the Strait of Hormuz matters beyond any single nation. The ambassador, yet you later, warned that the confrontation with Iran extends to global energy flows, since roughly one-fifth of global petroleum liquids consumption passes through the Strait. The that reality means even a threat of mining or disruption can rattle oil markets and governments. The discussion drew attention as the United States voiced concern about possible Iranian mining activity in the waterway. President Trump warned that if mines exist in Hormuz, they should be removed and warned of military consequences if they are not removed. Later argued that the U.S.-Israeli campaign is aimed at stopping Iran in the region,

In the conflict with Iran and its regional proxies, IDF chief Zamiya orders reinforcements to North as Israel strikes Hezbollah in Lebanon. The military said the northern front is receiving added attention in light of recent developments with Iran. Lieutenant General Isle Zamiya ordered reinforcements to the north, directing the northern command to tighten its posture and moving the Galani brigade from southern operations to the northern sector. The IDF said Hezbollah's decision to attack Israel on behalf of the Iranian terror regime has intensified the fight and that Israel will not tolerate harm to its residents, following strikes on Iran at the end of February that targeted regime infrastructure and leadership. Hezbollah fired missiles at northern Israel on March 2, signaling the proxy conflict's widening scope. Israeli operations have extended into southern Lebanon and Beirut as part of a broader effort against Iran-linked proxies, marking a significant expansion of the confrontation.

4:08In Israeli domestic politics, court grants 48-hour extension in Bravaman case as judge questions open-ended build-linked probe. A magistrate's court signaled cautious wartime pace as it weighs the next steps in the investigation. President Judge Menoham Mizrahi said there was little dispute that Netanyahu's testimony has become the main obstacle to completing the probe. But acknowledged, there is no forecast for when that questioning could occur given the wartime schedule. Because of the ongoing emergency, the court limited Bravaman's restrictions extension to 48 hours, rather than pursuing a longer timetable. And police noted Bravaman had been summoned for questioning that day. Investigators indicated that the overall trajectory of the probe would depend on when Netanyahu can be questioned, framing the matter within the current security pressures facing the nation.
