Police suspect that the truck ram in Tel Aviv was a terrorist attack. The Jerusalem Post reported that the driver had been detained, while other media reported that he was killed during the arrest.

It should be noted that the headquarters of the Israeli intelligence service "Mossad" and several units of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), in particular, the high-profile radio technical intelligence unit Unit 8200, are located in the Glilot district.

Israel struck Iranian military facilities

On October 26, Israel launched an attack on Iran in response to a massive ballistic missile attack in early October.

In response to months of continuous attacks by the regime in Iran on the state of Israel, the Israel Defense Forces are now carrying out precision strikes on military targets in Iran, the IDF said.

It emphasized that the regime in Iran and its proxies in the region have been relentlessly attacking Israel since October 7 — on seven fronts, including direct attacks from Iranian territory.

In a comment to NBC News, two senior Arab officials said the initial strike on Tehran was likely to have hit a barracks or office, as well as a weapons depot.

One of the locations in Iran attacked by Israel was a military base for launching ballistic missiles, Sky News Arabia said, citing a source. Iran's air defense systems were unable to intercept any of the missiles launched by Israel.

More than 100 Israeli BPC fighters took part in the attack on Iran.

Rescue operation continues. At least 5 houses damaged.

Deaths from Russian attack in Kryvyi Rih

Russian strikes every day. People die every day. There is only one reason why this continues: Russia does not want a ceasefire, and we see it. The whole world sees it. Every missile, every strike drone proves that Russia only wants war. And only from the pressure of the world on Russia, from all efforts to strengthen Ukraine, our air defense, our forces — only on this depends when the war will end.
