IDF Completes Extensive Wave of Attacks in Tehran on Iranian Nuclear Weapons Project Infrastructure and Fuel Storage
Air Force fighter jets, under intelligence guidance from the Intelligence Branch, recently completed an extensive wave of attacks in Tehran against several targets of the Iranian nuclear weapons project, including the headquarters of the Iranian Ministry of Defense, the headquarters of the nuclear project's headquarters, and other targets.

- Trump interview in the Atlantic:
 “Well, considering that I’m the one that developed ‘America First,’ and considering that the term wasn’t used until I came along, I think I’m the one that decides that.

So for all of those wonderful people who don’t want to do anything about Iran having a nuclear weapon—that’s not peace.”

Kindergartens and  up to the age of gemara study will not hold classes
From Gemara studies onward, studies can only be held if there is a protected space in the building and there is room to comfortably accommodate all the students and get there without any pressure on the way.

In such cases, it is better to study until the afternoon, without going home at noon.

Studies can also be held in mesivtos - if the conditions we mentioned are met.

Parents who feel that their children are scared - should  not send them.

Talmidim of yeshiva  gedolas should not leave the yeshiva halls, and should add study to their study, for Torah is a Magna umatzla and under no circumstances should they go out to see intriguing sights. This is a matter of pikuach nefeah

It is incumbent upon all of us these days to strengthen ourselves in Torah, prayer, faith, confidence, and fear of God, and to instill a pleasant and calm atmosphere in the home. In times of calamity, we have accepted from the Rabbi Chazon ish that the recitation of kapital 91, "יושב בסתר," is very powerful.
