The Iranian regime devastated Arad and Dimona by deliberately striking civilians with missiles. Over 100 people were injured, including children. A blatant war crime. Pure terrorism.

[Israel Foreign Ministry @IsraelMFA]

An Iranian missile struck Jerusalem during Eid al-Fitr, a few hundred meters from the holiest sites for Muslims, Christians and Jews.

This is the true face of the Mullahs’ so called ‘religious’ regime.

[Oded Joseph - Одед Джозеф @OdedJoseph]

The Iranian regime - bunch of dangerous liars:

Watch clip of the interview given by Iranian FM Araghchi (25/2/26) saying that Iran has capped the range of its missiles below 2,000 kilometers, refuting the claims that Tehran is developing long-range missiles.....

Vs.

March 20, 2026: Iran fires missiles at Diego Garcia—ranging 4,000 kilometers (WSJ). ⬇️

[Iran's Today @Iran]

Iranian FM Araghchi says Iran has intentionally capped the range of its missiles below 2,000 kilometres, refuting the claims that Tehran is developing long-range missiles capable of reaching the US.

He made the comments in an interview with India Today which aired Wednesday.

[Oded Joseph - Одед Джозеф @OdedJoseph]

In response to inquiries and following the portrayal of the incident in the Russian media, I wish to emphasize that it is absurd and baseless to suggest that the strike involving RT journalists in Lebanon was intentional, as appeared in public statements.
Israel targets only military objectives. In this instance, the Israeli Defense Force issued multiple, timely warnings to the public well in advance of the operation around Qasamiya crossing on the Litani River. The strike was carried out to thwart efforts by the Hezbollah terrorist organization to mobilize weaponry toward the border as part of its ongoing, deliberate attacks against Israeli civilians.
The responsibility for this incident lies with those who chose to ignore repeated warnings and remain within an active combat zone.

Nattapong Pinta was a 35-year-old Thai citizen, husband, and father. He came to Israel to work in agriculture and support his family back home. On October 7, he was kidnapped alive by terrorists from Kibbutz Nir Oz.

This week, in a complex joint operation by the @IDF and Israeli Security Agency, his body was recovered from Rafah. Intelligence from a captured terrorist helped lead Israeli forces to the site. He is believed to have been murdered in captivity during the early stages of the war.

Nattapong is not forgotten. His life mattered. His murder will not go unanswered.

Israel is committed to the return of every hostage - Israeli or foreign, living or deceased - regardless of nationality, race, or religion. That commitment does not end until every single one is brought home.

We will not rest.

[Embassy of Israel to the USA @IsraelinUSA]

Over the past two weeks, our social media channels have been mostly silent.

On May 21st, we lost two of our dear colleagues, Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky, in a senseless act of violence. Their absence has left an unfillable void in our embassy family.

In Jewish tradition, shiva is a sacred time to mourn - to be still, to remember, and to grieve in the presence of community. We have taken this time to honor Yaron and Sarah with dignity, respect, and love.

As we slowly return to our duties, we do so with their memory etched in our hearts and a renewed commitment to the values they embodied: service, peace, and humanity.

May their memories be a blessing.
יהי זכרם ברוך.

[Noa Ginosar @NoaGinosar]

Yaron, I will forever hold on to our two years as the Middle East team at @IsraelinUSA. You were destined for greatness, and the way you built your path was an inspiration. You and Sarah will forever be in our hearts. I miss you already and can’t believe you’re gone.

הפיגוע הנורא שהתרחש אמש בוושינגטון מחזיר אותי אישית 33 שנים אחורה,מעמיד את כולנו שוב מול ״קיר הנופלים״ , נשות ואנשי שרות החוץ, ומזכיר לכולנו מה שלעולם לא נשכח: את עובדי שרות החוץ המתמודדים עם אתגרים קשים ומורכבים בזירה המדינית, והחשופים גם לסכנות הטרור נגד ישראל ונציגיה.

זו חובה(לא ״טובה״) לכלול ולציין מפורשות את עובדי שרות החוץ בתפילת ה״יזכור״ הנישאת בימי הזכרון לחללי מערכת הבטחון ונפגעי פעולות האיבה.

[Ambassador Yossi Shelley @ambshelley]

President Trump’s visit to the synagogue at the Abrahamic Family House is a deeply meaningful moment. As one of Israel’s closest friends, his presence at this landmark of interfaith harmony is a reminder of the spirit of the Abraham Accords — a vision of peace, mutual respect, and shared destiny.
The Abrahamic Family House powerfully embodies the shared values of Israel and the UAE that brought our nations together: openness, dialogue, and coexistence.
Israel is proud to stand with the United States and its regional partners in advancing these principles across the Middle East.

Visite de la délégation de 18 femmes israéliennes endeuillées par la perte de leur époux, tués au cours du massacre du 7 octobre.
Un échange poignant et inspirant avec ces femmes de courage.

Merci à l’association @OneFamily2GTHR d’avoir conduit cette délégation en France, à la rencontre de députés français pour faire connaître l’histoire de ces vies brisées.

Merci pour vos efforts à accueillir la douleur et à rassembler ces milliers d’Israéliens, orphelins, veufs, parents et victimes d’attentats, pour leur permettre de croire à nouveau en l’avenir.

[Gideon Sa'ar | גדעון סער @gidonsaar]

I strongly condemn the attack on a Jew in Djerba, Tunisia today. I wish a speedy recovery to the injured.
This attack comes two years after the previous deadly assault that claimed Jewish lives and the lives of security personnel during the Lag BaOmer celebration.
I call on the Tunisian authorities to take all necessary measures to protect the Jewish community.

[Oded Joseph - Одед Джозеф @OdedJoseph]

The most powerful moment at today's #Israel77 Independence Day 🇮🇱🇮🇱 reception at President @Isaac_Herzog’s residence was the moving plea from Rachel Goldberg Polin, mother of Hersh, who was kidnapped and murdered by #Hamas terrorists on October 7.
She urged the distinguished guests, representatives of governments around the world, to do everything in their power to secure the release of the 59 hostages still held in #Gaza.
Above all, this remains the solemn duty of the Israeli government and people—true independence cannot be celebrated until every hostage is brought home!

[Israel in the UAE @israelintheUAE]

The Embassy of the State of Israel to the United Arab Emirates, together with the Consulate General of Israel in Dubai, was proud to host a distinguished diplomatic reception in Abu Dhabi in celebration of the 77th Independence Day of the State of Israel.

We were honored to welcome so many esteemed guests who joined us in marking this special occasion. Among them were UAE government officials, members of the diplomatic and consular corps, business leaders, and representatives from the local and Jewish communities. Their presence was a powerful expression of friendship, partnership, and shared vision for the region.

H.E. Yossi Shelly, Ambassador of the State of Israel to the UAE, thanked the UAE leadership for their friendship, emphasized the growing partnership between Israel and the UAE across diverse sectors, and said: “His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Donald Trump — three leaders with great vision and courage who are dedicated to change the Middle East and lead it to a brighter present and future. I personally believe they deserve the Nobel Prize for peace.”

[Walid Abu Haya 🇮🇱 @WalidAbuHaya1]

Statement by Sheik Mowafak Tarif today:

Head of the Druze Community, Sheikh Mowafak Tarif, on the Situation in Syria

“At this very moment, the eyes and hearts of the Druze community are turned toward the attacks on Druze villages around Damascus. I call upon the State of Israel, the international community, and the Jewish people to act now—immediately—to prevent a mass slaughter. The State of Israel must not stand by as these events unfold in Syria at this very moment.
Leaders of the state, the burden of proof and of action lies with you—you must act.
This is a time for deeds.”

I add:

We, the Druze in Israel, are deeply concerned about the recent events and the intentions of extremist terrorist elements to harm our brothers and sisters in Syria. Every Druze here - from Sheikh Mowafak Tarif to the very last among us - is making tremendous efforts to help in any way possible to prevent harm to our brothers, and we stand fully behind the State of Israel in all its efforts to assist them.
