Bat Yam man stabs partner to death, barricades himself on roof
A negotiation team from the Israel Police is on-site and working to bring the situation to a resolution, the forces confirmed. Israel Police have launched an investigation into a murder that occurred in Bat Yam following a report received regarding a 48-year-old woman who was stabbed in her home, the forces announced on Monday. The suspect, believed to be her husband, has barricaded himself on the rooftop of the building and refused to come down. A negotiation team from the Israel Police is on-site and working to bring the situation to a resolution, police confirmed. The woman sustained penetrating injuries, Maariv reported. According to initial investigations, the background to the incident is a domestic dispute between partners, the police stated. The incident was first reported by the couple's 17-year-old daughter, who was in the apartment with the family dog at the time—no other family members were present, according to Walla. One of the neighbors told Walla, "This is the first time I've heard any fighting from their apartment. There has never been shouting or disturbances before." Israeli Opposition Leader Yair Golan said in a Monday post on X/Twitter: "Another day and a half in Israel—six more murders. No governance, no security. From every sector and every community, no citizen is safe. This is what neglect looks like." "This is the reality in a country where the security minister [Ben Gvir] is a convicted felon, an avowed racist, and a Kahanist, acting entirely at the prime minister's command. We must send this negligent government home," he concluded. MDA paramedic Inbar Adani and senior MDA medic Doron Salimi shared that initially they "joined the police officers, who led us to the apartment. Inside, we found a woman who was unconscious, pulseless, and not breathing, with penetrating injuries to her body," Maariv noted. "We carried out medical assessments, but her injuries were critical, and sadly, we had to pronounce her dead at the scene," confirmed the MDA personnel, Maariv wrote.

Iran isn't in a place to handle an Israeli strike due to internal struggles, expert says
'Salami makes threats every other day. Nothing new. Inside Iran, he's seen as illiterate and is mocked. He's not someone who worries us.' The current negotiations betweenIran and the US are simply a game for the Islamic Republic, an expert revealed to Maariv. Beni Sabti, a senior researcher on Iranian affairs at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), argued that the recent spike in rhetoric surrounding Iran's nuclear program is less about an imminent war and more about political maneuvering by both Iran and its adversaries. In the wake of reports suggesting Israeli readiness to strike Iran's nuclear facilities independently, and following a reported ultimatum from former US President Donald Trump to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Sabti offered a more grounded interpretation. 'This isn't a new crisis—it's a familiar Iranian chess game,' Sabti told Maariv. 'What many see as dangerous threats are often bluffs, ones even the Iranian public doesn't take seriously.' Regarding ongoing nuclear negotiations between the US and Iran, Sabti predicted more delay tactics from Tehran: 'The Iranians will likely propose so-called compromises just to push back deadlines. That's how they operate. They hold onto cards and play them when the timing suits them.' According to Sabti, Iran still has room to maneuver diplomatically. 'There's still space to compromise - on uranium enrichment levels, international inspections, even centrifuge operations - if Iran chooses to do so.' Recent Israeli military actions, particularly in Yemen, have reignited debate over whether Jerusalem could act independently against Tehran's nuclear ambitions. Sabti was unequivocal: 'Israel has the operational capability. Militarily and physically, there is no barrier to such an action.' However, he warned of a critical caveat. 'The main issue is coordination with the US - whether America would provide intelligence or defensive support during a strike.' Sabti is openly dismissive of Iranian threats, particularly from IRGC commander Hossein Salami, who he said is ridiculed even within Iran. 'Salami makes threats every other day. Nothing new. Inside Iran, he's seen as illiterate and is mocked. He's not someone who worries us.' Sabti also highlighted the technological and strategic gap between the two countries. 'Israel has modern capabilities. Iran, in contrast, is stuck in the 1970s. Their air force is practically non-functional, flying aircraft that are 60 years old. That's not how you confront a regional power.' Beyond the geopolitical theater, Sabti pointed to deepening unrest within Iran. 'There's no bread, no electricity. The situation is deteriorating quickly. Strikes are spreading—something we haven't seen in years.' Despite the rising rhetoric, Sabti believed diplomacy would prevail in the coming weeks. 'There are backchannel discussions between Israel and the US, conducted by long-standing intermediaries. It's hard to imagine a scenario where there's both a signed agreement and simultaneous plans for an Israeli strike.' While acknowledging the risks, he remained cautiously optimistic. 'I believe there will be an understanding—something that's not black or white, but acceptable to both sides. Whether that's a military option or a diplomatic one, it could still be a solution Israel can live with.'

Maariv: Israel is international pariah, faces diplomatic tsunami
Jaffa – Saba: The Hebrew newspaper Maariv, published in the Zionist entity, acknowledged on Wednesday that Israel has become an international pariah and is facing a "diplomatic tsunami" in light of the ongoing aggression on the Gaza Strip. The newspaper directed its criticism at ministers in the Israeli enemy government, saying that Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, who "clings to his positions, fails to grasp the magnitude of the crisis Israel is heading toward," according to the Lebanese Al-Mayadeen channel's website. It noted that Transportation Minister Miri Regev refuses to acknowledge that Israel is under an air blockade, "and that it is likely that a naval blockade will soon reach that level as well." It added, "As part of the criticism, Education Minister Yoav Kisch is preoccupied with political conflicts regarding Tel Aviv University, rather than addressing the growing international academic boycott." The newspaper emphasized the "disastrous failure of US President Donald Trump's tour of the region," during which Israel was marginalized on many issues. In the context of the newspaper's discussion of Israel's isolation, it stated that pressure is clear from Europe, Canada, and the United States to end the aggression. The newspaper noted that the criminal Prime Minister of the enemy, Benjamin Netanyahu, received a "red card" from the Supreme Court. It explained that the court's judges disqualified Netanyahu and his government at all levels, ruling that Netanyahu was in a conflict of interest in the investigation when he attempted to dismiss Shin Bet Director Ronen Bar.

Smotrich reverses stance on Gaza aid amid reported deal to approve new settlements
A report by the 'Israeli' outlet Maariv has raised questions over an alleged political deal between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, involving the approval of new settlements in exchange for resuming humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza. While both offices deny any connection, the report cites political sources who claim a quiet agreement was reached amid growing international pressure on 'Israel' over the deteriorating humanitarian crisis in the besieged enclave. According to Maariv, Netanyahu agreed to authorize the construction of hundreds of new housing units in outposts across the occupied West Bank, particularly through 'settlement nuclei' and agricultural farms near the eastern border. These initiatives are to be funded by the office of Settlements Minister Orit Strock, which will reportedly receive a substantial budget increase to support the expansion. The purported deal marks a dramatic shift in Smotrich's position. Just weeks ago, he strongly opposed any resumption of aid to Gaza, vowing to leave the government if 'even one grain' reached Hamas. 'Over my dead body,' Smotrich told Makor Rishon in late April. However, in a press conference held this week, he voiced support for allowing basic aid into the Strip, framing it as a strategic necessity to defeat Hamas. At a security cabinet meeting, Maj. Gen. Rasan Alian, Israel's Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), briefed ministers on efforts to monitor incoming aid. Despite these efforts, Alian admitted that 'it is impossible to guarantee' that some of the assistance won't fall into the hands of Hamas. Channel 14 reported that approval of 22 settlement outposts is now on the agenda. A senior political source told Maariv that the timing of the cabinet's approval of the new settlements aligned with its greenlight for renewed aid to Gaza — suggesting a deliberate political exchange. The source also noted that Smotrich, contrary to his earlier rhetoric, did not oppose the aid decision during the cabinet session.

Israeli enemy army conducts arrest campaign for military service draft dodgers
Occupied Quds – Saba: The Israeli enemy army launched raids and arrest operations on Tuesday targeting those who evaded military service and failed to comply with conscription orders, amid growing refusal to join the ranks of the occupation forces. The Zionist military police, backed by the entity's police, stormed dozens of addresses where draft dodgers reside in the occupied Palestinian territories, including hardline Jewish neighborhoods in Elad, Bnei Brak, Sdud, Quds, and others. A security source told the Hebrew newspaper Maariv: "After every recruitment round, we carry out arrests against those who do not report. We conducted two similar operations last year." Last week, media sources confirmed that the Israeli enemy army had begun forcing its regular soldiers to extend their service by an additional four months after their official term ends, due to a shortage of fighters. Thousands of Zionists refuse to enlist in the military, fearing they will be killed by Palestinian resistance factions, as internal opposition grows against the ongoing aggression on Gaza Strip.
