I can't find the URL

I think this might be easily available public data, no? Some municipalities publish this kind of data online for anyone to download.

I did a quick websearch and many pages with 3d models of tel aviv, for example this one.

Trump vetoed Israeli plan to kill Iran's supreme leader, US officials say

They said the Israelis reported that they had an opportunity to kill the top Iranian leader, but Trump waved them off of the plan.

Bullshit?

I think the left and right wings have been separating themselves more with defederations etc.

US-origin electronic components from the United States

Ah were those manufactured by the famously extant US electronics industry? In one of the many US electronics factories which is always exporting devices and components?

This poor lady, if someone had only told her about AliExpress she could really have saved herself a lot of grief.

I wonder how many people could leave by airplane if they were allowed to operate at max capacity and without military threats. Seems like a very slow way to evacuate an entire country.

I would baselessly speculate it has more specifically to do with keeping the wealthiest and most powerful people (and their loved ones) close at hand. Make sure they stay interested and invested. I don't really get Israel's economy, and certainly it involves money/resources being poured in from the west. But they must be vulnerable to some sort of capital flight, no? There is surely some vulnerability that would tip their economy over into even more chaos.

I also wonder if the various politicians might be worried about the other ones leaving. Either just to save their own skin or to do some backstabbing to get themselves into a more favorable position. I'm not big on palace intrigue but these people seems like total jerks to me. It would probably be safer to mutually enforce solidarity.

And then there are whatever sort of celebs etc exist. A story about the wrong person fleeing could be a real downer morale-wise.

I also hypothesize there could be a Boar refugee 2.0 situation.

I really do not understand how Jewish people can tolerate the constant abuse of holocaust memory every time some US/Israel/etc politician wants to fuck around. It is so disrespectful of the mass death and torture. Comparing even an actual nuclear strike to the holocaust is frank denialism. A military engagement between nation states is such a fundamentally different situation, regardless of what you may think of any involved party or their feelings towards one another. It makes my blood boil every time to witness this rhetoric that serves to confuse public understanding. At the end of the day every comment like this mocks the victims of the holocaust.

which allows signatories to withdraw from the treaty in case of extraordinary circumstances

So that would mean "Now we will start making weapons"?

Israel begins withdrawing forces from Gaza to reinforce the Lebanese, Syrian and Jordanian fronts

Well that sounds good. How many wars do these people think they can fight all at once?

Al Jazeera:

Israel shuts down all airports, airspace

The Israeli Civil Aviation Authority announced a complete closure of airspace and airports.

The full story manages to be worse than the headline even suggests:

"The Iranian [nuclear program] is a threat, but the loss of the value of human life is an existential threat," Danny Elgarat, whose brother Itzik died in Hamas captivity, said on X on Saturday.

"When the state forgets its duty to its citizens, when it sacrifices living hostages for propaganda, when it turns its back on 53 souls crying out in the darkness, the biggest threat is no longer from Iran. It's here, among us, in the apathy, the abandonment, the silence."

"It's not only the leadership that forgot, it's also the media that decided to ignore [the hostages]," he added.

IGNORE!!! the MEDIA!!!

Top story of Jerusalem Post:

Front page of Times of Israel (and crtl+f = 17 hits on page):

A number of protesters stood outside the home of Economy and Industry Minister Ni Barkat with a poster of the hostages still in Gaza. Others stood at junctions, or marched through their cities calling to bring attention to the hostages.

These ungrateful entitled fucks are protesting because for 3 days the state of israel has been slightly sidetracked by its greater goals of regional domination. I doubt the slaughter and torture of Palestinians which is being conducted ostensibly on their behalf has even slown down. I'm sure by now it will continue apace without the personal, daily attentions of the entire political leadership of the country.

The eternal and profound sense of aggrievement is truly astounding.

I was watching Al Jazeera and they had a guy on who said that even though building code has required shelters to be included with construction for a long time now, it is not enforced in Arab areas. I wasn't clear on exactly the mechanism of that.

If I understand correctly, 4 out of 5 people killed immediately in Israel on June 14, were Arab women. https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-857714
