Israel’s Missile Defense Organization says repeated Iranian missile attacks have forced a dramatic expansion in Arrow interceptor production, with Director Moshe Patel saying output is now increasing at “imaginary numbers” compared to what was expected just 3 years ago.
Patel said Israel is “very satisfied” with the performance of the Arrow 3 system, calling it the world’s most advanced interceptor for exo-atmospheric engagements. Officials say Arrow has intercepted hundreds of Iranian ballistic missiles and achieved about a 90% interception rate during the 2 most recent major rounds of fighting, while development of the AI enabled Arrow 4 and Arrow 5 continues. - Business Insider via @byjepstein

Israel is considering returning to and expanding its activity in more than one Lebanese region if the U.S.–Iran conflict continues to deteriorate, knowledgeable Lebanese sources warn.
The sources say Israel views a Washington–Tehran memorandum of understanding as having imposed restrictions on it, including a ban on operations outside southern Lebanon, especially in Beirut and the Dahiya district.
Israel believes the agreement's collapse would lift those restrictions, allowing it to resume operations under the pretext of "removing immediate threats."

VP Vance tells Joe Rogan people “within Israel’s system” are trying to prolong the war “not toward any objective, but just indefinitely,” and cites a Time magazine article he says details an alleged influence campaign aimed at derailing U.S. negotiations with Iran.
“There are some people within their system (Israel), we know beyond a shadow of a doubt, who are manipulating and trying to change American public opinion to keep the war going on indefinitely. Not toward any objective, but just indefinitely.”
“But I definitely think you have seen this very discreet, extremely well funded campaign to try to derail the negotiation and try to derail the deal.”
“It’s social media posts. It’s, you know, they’re leaking to reporters. They are attacking, obsessively saying that we should not be negotiating with Iran, that we should just keep the military campaign going indefinitely.”
“Go to hell. I’m going to do what I have to do for the American people. I represent Americans first.”
