Israeli Airstrikes On Tehran Will Continue 'For Days', Netanyahu Warns As Iran Counterattacks

Update (2115ET): Al Jazeera and regional media have reported at least six large explosions were observed in the Iranian capital of Tehran, as Israel confirms it has launched 'Operation Rising Lion' - which importantly Netanyahu in a televised address said "will continue for as many days" until the Iranian 'nuclear threat' is removed, and "as long as necessary".

There are unconfirmed reports that Iranian jets have been scrambled and that the Islamic Republic's inevitable retaliation has begun. Iran possesses an immense ballistic missile arsenal, many which can be launched from underground silos and deep below ground 'missile cities'. Developing:

Prime Minister Netanyahu:

"Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a targeted military operation to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel's very survival.

Update 8:35pm: AP cites an Israeli official who says that the targets are Iran Nuclear and Military sites; Meanwhile Iran has suspended all flights into its international airport, while Israel has closed all airspace.

Israeli PM Netanyahu says comments that Israel is attacking Iran's nuclear program, is seeking to remove the ballistic missile threat and that strikes will last until last threat is removed.

NETANYAHU: WE ARE AT A DECISIVE MOMENT IN ISRAEL'S HISTORY

NETANYAHU: ATTACKING IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM, BALLISTIC MISSILES

NETANYAHU: STRIKES WILL LAST UNTIL THREAT REMOVED

NETANYAHU: WE TARGETED IRAN'S MAIN ENRICHMENT FACILITY IN NATANZ

NETANYAHU: SEEKING TO REMOVE BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT

It also appears that the reason Israel targeted specifics residential buildings is because as we expected, it was conducting targeted assassinations:

NETANYAHU: WE TARGETED IRAN'S LEADING NUCLEAR SCIENTISTS WORKING ON THE IRANIAN BOMB, WE ALSO STRUCK THE HEART OF IRAN'S BALLISTIC MISSILE PROGRAMME

Meanwhile, the US State Department is pretending like it had zero involvement in this latest neocon-inspired debacle.

From Torah to trauma: A Satanic child abuse scandal blows up in Israel

There’s a coordinated silencing of victims across religious and political hierarchies

There are crimes so profound that words fail to capture them. Last week, several survivors testified to the Israeli Knesset about just such a horror.

The story broke with an investigative report published by Israel Hayom, which unearthed a long-standing pattern of ritual sexual abuse, psychological manipulation, and spiritual desecration occurring not on the margins of society but from within its most sacred institutions. Survivors speak of torment that begins in early childhood and lasts decades, often committed under the guise of religious observance. It is not just a crime of the flesh. It is a theft of the soul.

Israeli children, some as young as infants, were subjected to methodical abuse masked in religious ritual. Survivors describe ceremonies invoking biblically-vilified deities, conducted by members of observant Jewish communities. As a survivor named Noga (all of the victims’ names are changed in the report) recalled: “The gods I remember are Baal Peor and Ashtoreth… our lord Peor and our lady Ashtoreth.” (Note: All these deities are categorically condemned in the Bible).

The culprits are not fringe radicals. These are individuals who keep kosher, celebrate the Sabbath, and adhere to the minutiae of Jewish law even as they engage in acts so depraved that they defy comprehension. Here is snippet from a survivor’s testimonies:

“I remember a pentagram on the floor, usually in red. When the ceremony was in the forest, the pentagram was marked with a hoe and surrounded by lit candles in a circle. The rabbi would bless…they would repetitively read Psalms, like ‘A Psalm of David, the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.’ They told me ‘you are special, you are chosen’ and they would insert… I remember a palm branch, Hanukkah candles, a shofar.”

Some of these perpetrators are qualified to blow the shofar on Rosh Hashanah — a high privilege among observant Jews. Family members, most of whom may have once been victims themselves, are often the ones who hand over their little ones to these monsters.

Several rabbis’ names appeared repeatedly in survivor testimonies. Multiple complaints filed at different police stations across Israel were quickly nipped in the bud. Prosecutions leading to imprisonments are rare. Much like anywhere else on this planet. Have any elite members of the Jeffrey Epstein pedophile network – itself rumored to be a Mossad operation – been charged in any court of law? Have the victims been asked to identify the perpetrators of these wicked deeds during the trial of Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell?

Smartmatic Accused Of Deleting Evidence In $2.7B Fox News Defamation Case: Court Docs

Executives at voting software firm Smartmatic ordered the deletion and doctoring of key evidence tied to the company’s $2.7 billion defamation case against Fox News, according to claims in a bombshell court filing made Wednesday in New York.

In a new legal memorandum filed with the New York Supreme Court, Fox News accused Smartmatic executives - including CEO Antonio Mugica - of "spoliation of records" related to the high-stakes lawsuit, which stems from Fox’s coverage of the 2020 election.

The conservative network pointed to explosive internal communications to support its claims.

"On the eve of filing this lawsuit, and while the U.S. Department of Justice was investigating Smartmatic and its executives for bribery and corruption, Smartmatic’s CEO Antonio Mugica, in writing, ordered Smartmatic’s President Roger Piñate Jr. - who has since been federally indicted for those crimes - to delete WhatsApp mobile messages discussing critical damages issues surrounding the outlandish $2.7 billion the company planned to seek from Fox," the filing states.

Just days earlier, Fox alleges, "a top Smartmatic executive, again in writing, directed his subordinates to doctor key customer records to manufacture support for the massive damages case Smartmatic had invented."

The legal salvo also claims Smartmatic employees went on a mass deletion spree.

"[W]hile they should have been retaining documents, key Smartmatic employees deleted their mobile messages, depriving Fox of yet more evidence undermining Smartmatic’s unsupported damages claim," the document says.

Fox’s attorneys told the court that nearly "two dozen Smartmatic executives and sales personnel deleted data relevant to Smartmatic’s multi-billion-dollar damages claims either shortly before or while this case was pending." They added: "For many witnesses, the spoliation is pervasive and resulted in the apparent deletion of all, or nearly all, of their mobile data."
