According to the Alma Research Center, the drone was intercepted some distance from the rig itself. Later in the day, the IDF stated that some 15 rockets were fired at the northern Golan Heights, and a volley of around 20 rockets was launched at the southern Golan and the Upper Galilee. Another rocket later fell into the sea near Haifa. On Tuesday morning, Hezbollah fired around 10 rockets at the area of Meron, before firing five rockets at Metula, where the IDF declared a closed military zone the evening before, indicating the area might serve as a staging ground for the offensive into Lebanon. Shortly after, several more rockets were fired at Avivim and Metula. Another 15-rocket volley landed in open areas in the Upper Galilee, sparking several wildfires. Hezbollah also fired 15 additional rockets that landed in open areas in the Western Galilee.

The Lebanese resistance group said it fired “a salvo of Fadi 4 rockets at the Sde Dov airbase on the outskirts of Tel Aviv.” The Fadi rockets, which Hezbollah began using this week for the first time since Sept. 22, are ground-to-ground missiles designed to cover large areas rather than specific points. The Fadi 1 missile has a range of 80 kilometers (50 miles), while the Fadi 2 extends to 105 kilometers. The range of the Fadi 3 and Fadi 4 models has not been disclosed, but speculation suggests they are more advanced and have a longer range. Hezbollah also said it launched a barrage of rockets that targeted Israeli forces gathered east of the Rosh HaNikra coastal site in northern Israel. The Israeli army reported that “a number of projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon which fell in open areas in central Israel.” Israeli Army Radio confirmed that rockets recently fell in open areas in Netanya, located in the Hod Hasharon district that is part of the greater Tel Aviv area. The Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported that explosions were heard in parts of the district, although further details were not provided. Israel’s Home Front Command said sirens sounded across the lower and central Galilee, warning of rocket fire. Three Israelis were injured, one with “moderate to serious” wounds, following a rocket attack earlier Tuesday that targeted the greater Tel Aviv area, according to the Israeli military, that said sirens were heard across central Israel, including Tel Aviv. The Israeli army said earlier that it launched “limited and targeted” ground operations in southern Lebanon. Observers believe the announcement of starting a ground offensive was part of “psychological and media warfare.” Israel has launched massive airstrikes since Sept. 23 against what it calls Hezbollah targets across Lebanon that have killed more than 1,057 victims and injured over 2,950, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry. Several Hezbollah commanders have been killed in the strikes, including leader Hassan Nasrallah. Hezbollah and Israel have been engaged in cross-border warfare since the start of Israel's onslaught against the Gaza Strip, which has killed more than 41,600 victims, most of them women and children, following a cross-border attack by the Palestinian resistance group, Hamas, last October. The international community has warned that Israeli attacks in Lebanon could escalate the Gaza conflict into a wider regional war. new video loaded: Iranian Missiles Damage Buildings in a Tel Aviv Suburb transcriptBackbars0:00/0:59-0:59transcript A short while after we were given push notifications about missile alerts and the sirens were sound we actually started getting notifications about different places around town that were hit And I actually arrived here to see a large bush fire that erupted due to the hit in the area behind me This hit actually created a lot of damage to the houses around this park 2024The Israel Defense Forces confirmed on Wednesday that several air force bases had been damaged in the Iranian missile attack the night before "\/liveblog_entry\/rocket-alert-sirens-sound-in-cities-towns-across-central-sharon-areas\/?__cf_chl_rt_tk=POAWBc0XgRK8qLI2Hn.Ur9OM6EHQQt.s8pPWX1KGyP8-1746490249-1.0.1.1-2Wcli6WE0ierT1549hsjyudsVWsjHwj1RVO8rfbEupM" + window._cf_chl_opt.cOgUHash);cpo.onload = function() {history.replaceState(null Shrapnel hits towns near Air Force and IDF bases in central Israel As dawn rose over Israel on Wednesday, the morning after the unprecedented missile assault by the Iranian regime the scope of the damage wrought by the attack became clearer Three Israelis were lightly wounded by shrapnel while the only fatality from the attack was a Palestinian man from Gaza who was killed when a large piece of an intercepted rocket fell on him in Jericho Daniel Hagari said most of the 190 ballistic missiles fired from Iran were intercepted he acknowledged that there were several impacts in central and southern Israel the impacts occurred near an Air Force base in southern Israel – mostly likely Nevatim home to the IAF’s advanced F-35 squadron – as well as in the area of the IDF’s Intelligence base Glilot and the nearby Mossad headquarters One military official reported that none of the missiles directly hit the Glilot compound Israeli TV channels showed footage of a large crater in a nearby open area a school suffered a direct hit and was badly damaged visited the site during the night to inspect the damage “Just to think that a few hours ago there were hundreds of students there A huge miracle happened to us,” the director of the school’s network announced that around 100 homes were damaged in the assault “Tens of additional homes were affected on the periphery This is a very significant damage,” said Hod Hasharon mayor “Residents of the city followed safety instructions and thus avoided bodily harm despite the shrapnel scattering The municipality and emergency teams quickly isolated the areas where the fragments of the interceptions landed and safely evacuated them The municipality is ready to continue working with the emergency and welfare forces to respond to any need Adhering to Home Front Command guidelines saves lives,” he stressed Irit Zabari told Ynet News that her home in Hod Hasharon was damaged by a shrapnel fragment that landed next to her doorstep “Since we don’t have an emergency room at home and my husband is a disabled person who has trouble moving to the nearby municipal shelter we stayed in an inner room in the apartment,” Zabari said “I immediately called the municipal hotline The security teams quickly arrived at the scene and removed the shrapnel A few minutes passed from the alarm to the fall Please stay in the protected areas ten minutes after the alarms end this is a life-saving instruction,” she added The All Israel News Staff is a team of journalists in Israel Iran fired a barrage of rockets at targets across Israel on Tuesday evening in its largest-ever attack on the country Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said in a statement that Tehran launched “tens of missiles” towards Israel targeting “vital military and security targets." It said that the attack was in response to Israel’s killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and IRGC commander Abbas Nilforoushan in Beirut as well as the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in July Israeli military officials announced the assault was “over” and that there was no more threat from Iran “for now” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed there will be “consequences” for the attack Iran said the barrage of some 180 projectiles was aimed at the Mossad intelligence headquarters in Tel Aviv three air bases and military positions near the Gaza Strip fence claiming the missiles had struck 90 percent of their targets The Israeli military said that its forces had intercepted most of the projectiles, working in tandem with the US and the UK and that only a “few” hits were reported in central and southern parts of the country Eyewitnesses reported and footage circulated online showed direct hits on schools and army bases in Tel Aviv Pentagon spokesperson General Pat Ryder said that the attack’s scope was “twice as large” as Tehran’s April assault, when it launched around 300 missiles at Israel the IRGC claimed to have used hypersonic missiles Casualties and damage to infrastructure inflicted by the attack remain unclear although it appears that the assault caused more damage than the previous one in April US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan described the attack  as “significant” but said that no deaths or damage were reported in Israel and concluded that the assault had been “defeated and ineffective.”  Israel’s emergency service reported that two people were wounded from falling shrapnel in Tel Aviv that a man had been killed by falling rocket debris in Jericho in the occupied West Bank Reports said that missiles had been intercepted over Jordan Footage circulated online revealed damage and casualties purportedly from the fragments of intercepted missiles in areas of Jordan One video seemed to show a house on fire in Mufraq while another appeared to show a man lying dead in the street after missile debris scattered over Abu Alandah in northern Jordan Jordanian government spokesperson Mohammad Momani said that fragments of missiles had landed across the kingdom and had inflicted minor wounds with the kingdom’s Public Security Directorate saying in a statement that the "Royal Jordanian Air Force and air defence systems responded to a number of missiles and drones that entered Jordanian airspace” Netanyahu said the attack was a “big mistake” and vowed that Iran “will pay” for it Israeli military spokesperson Daniel Hagari has said that Israel is “fully prepared to defend and retaliate” against the attack “at the place and time we decide.” White House adviser Jake Sullivan warned that there would be “severe consequences” for the attack pledging that the US “will work with Israel to make that the case” Axios reported on Wednesday that Israel is planning a “significant retaliation” that could target Iran’s oil production and nuclear facilities 'What we did to Lebanon must also be done to Iran… no political arrangements - National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir Several politicians also openly called for a large-scale assault on Iran Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said that now is "a historic moment" to attack Iran "Israel has now its greatest opportunity in 50 years to change the face of the Middle East," he wrote on X "We must act *now* to destroy Iran's nuclear program and to fatally cripple this terrorist regime."

This is one of the few cases in which the National Planning and Building Commission exercised its authority to take a plan from the (local and district) planning and building commissions below it Then-Planning Authority director Binat Schwartz and then-National Planning and Building Commission chairperson Avigdor Yitzhaki pressed especially hard to have the plan transferred to the National Planning and Building Commission At the same meeting at which the resolution was passed Yitzhaki called for going ahead with the plan without concern about lawsuits concerning a construction plan on such a large scale "We have to stop this game in which nothing has happened for 15 years and nothing will happen for another 40 years." Schwartz added that the planning problems in the area were due to the district outline plan and previous decisions by planning institutions which mixed green spaces with areas for construction She asserted at that meeting that there was no possibility of making the areas a national park without land confiscation the planning institutions decided on a procedure of consolidation and division while confiscations will be made in areas included in the national park leading to petitions by the landowners receiving the poorer parts of the land warned that once the National Planning and Building Commission draws up a plan of consolidation and division it would be exposed to the appraisal entanglement that accompanies such plans and that it was by no means certain that it is suitable for such things the plan has advanced quietly in the Planning Administration and Apartment for Rent which has been assigned the task of planning the site "No commitment to infrastructure solutions" An investigation by "Globes" found that the urban outline plan zones the area in question for only 8,200 housing units Hod Hasharon Mayor Amir Kochavi told "Globes" that he had not heard the figure of 20,000 housing units Kochavi also asserted that he had received no satisfactory explanation of why two territorially unconnected sites had been combined in the framework of the plan "We regard the plan being promoted as too fast with information whose origin we don't know The worst thing is the state is unwilling to make an advance commitment to infrastructure solutions." "The plan is only in the initially stages of being formulated It contains a long-term metropolitan perspective with an emphasis on many planning principles."

computers whose firmware (software that makes hardware operate) must be updated to maintain peak performance.   Downloading the latest version of firmware is nowadays mostly done remotely in a process known as an over-the-air (OTA) update in which the new software is delivered directly to the car (or any other device) via the internet.   The world’s leading provider of this service Red Bend became Harman Israel in 2015 when it was purchased by international auto tech company Harman for $200 million Samsung bought Harman for $8 billion and both companies became part of the South Korean conglomerate.  Harman Israel still operates out of the same offices in Hod HaSharon and is still providing OTA technology to cars and other vehicles the company says its platform is in use by scores of car and phone makers and can be found in more than two billion devices around the world The company was originally founded in 1999 as a provider of software for the still-burgeoning mobile phone industry and then shifted into automotive software despite having no automotive experience Harman Israel General Manager Michal Geva tells NoCamels.  is that Google came and provided something called GOTA – Google over-the-air updates,” she says.  very difficult to compete with something free so the market was closing on us and we migrated our product to automotive.” despite being under the Harman umbrella that has brought worldwide success Geva says the OTA work is entirely the remit of what was once Red Bend.   “The work is managed and led – from a business standpoint as well as from an engineering standpoint – out of Israel,” she says.  Geva likens the update for a car to the update for a phone albeit a slightly more consequential one.  and you sometimes get messages that there’s a new version of the operating system and you need to update,” she says a car’s operating system is far more complicated than that of a smartphone – both when it comes to the reasons for updates and the amount of hardware involved – and software upgrades for vehicles must take into account that complexity.  “At times you need to update [car software] because of vulnerabilities because you want to add features,” Geva explains.  But a car can have 100 or more computers that run the internal mechanisms of the vehicle (in the industry called electronic control units or ECUs) and these are interdependent this means updates to one ECU may mean another has to be updated as well in order to keep the car functioning.  you have to update the other – or one succeeds and the other fails,” she says.  “You don’t really want to brick the car,” she adds using the slang term for rendering a piece of machinery useless due a software failure “You don’t want to brick the phone either Potentially adding to the complexity of vehicle software updates is the fact that automakers regularly outsource the development of individual car parts to different companies known as original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) which she calls “a huge number,” consolidating its place at the world leader for OTA updates Harman also produces other advanced software for vehicles including its Ready Care in-cabin monitoring system It is because of its use of this system that the Ferrari Formula 1 team recently made Harman Israel its official partner for the second consecutive year.  which can detect if the driver is tired or otherwise distracted and automatically intervene is also available in other Ferrari vehicles Geva is one of the few women leaders in the automotive industry and while she says she has never experienced prejudice based on her sex she cannot ignore the masculine domination of the ecosystem.  She does nonetheless recall a recent incident that made her believe that perhaps the imbalance is shifting “I was pleasantly surprised four months ago when we had a three-way meeting with a Japanese OEM and a Chinese OEM,” she recalls.  “[There were] probably 40 people on the call – each company brought its people – and the three people that led were women.  I’ve been at Harmon for 10 and a half years and this is the first time that I’ve seen that.”  Geva says Harman Israel and its previous incarnation Red Bend should be an inspiration for nascent Israeli companies dreaming of making it big:   we should learn from a small company from Hod HaSharon that became the de facto number one OTA provider in the world.”  Content technology company EX.CO- The Experience Company (formerly Playbuzz) has announced the completion of its acquisition of video technology company Cedato
