The article reviews the 'almost war' atmosphere with Iran in Israel: the state of emergency was extended until after the elections, Prime Minister Netanyahu warned of enemies that might attack, and the Chief of Staff promised readiness. Meanwhile, CNN reported that the US military has formulated new attack plans against Iran, including the possible use of the GBU-43/B bomb ('Mother of All Bombs') against energy and nuclear facilities. However, sources expressed doubts about its effectiveness against underground facilities. The article raises possible Iranian response scenarios, including hitting desalination plants in the Gulf, heavy missile fire on Israel, or a breakout to a nuclear bomb, and criticizes the lack of public discussion of these scenarios. Subsequently, the article reports on the Turkish police raid on the opposition channel Halk TV in Istanbul, the arrest of 11 employees, and the appointment of an external manager. The move is compared to the takeover of Russian NTV 25 years ago. The article also includes a historical review of 'Operation Kibiyeh' in 1953, in which 69 Palestinians, mostly women and children, were killed, and its international repercussions.
