Netanyahu's comments, described to Reuters by two Israeli officials with knowledge of the conversations, come as Israel has largely been left out of talks to reach an initial deal to halt the war.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich echoed Eyal Zamir's sentiment in a Monday statement, writing that, "For every explosive drone, ten buildings in Beirut should fall."

Later on Monday, the region experienced several drone intrusions within approximately one hour. As a result, there were two reported shrapnel falls in Shomera. 

Israel is closely watching the possibility of an interim arrangement, particularly amid reports that Iran could reopen the Strait of Hormuz as part of a broader understanding with Washington. 

Shortly after the hearing began at its regular time, Netanyahu’s attorneys entered a meeting with presiding judges Rivka Friedman-Feldman, Moshe Bar-Am, and Oded Shaham.

Police opened an investigation three days earlier after receiving a complaint concerning suspected sexual offenses committed against the young trainee.

Petitioners: Mental wounds from combat should not leave families in lower category; State: Current law does not allow full military burial for those not in active service at death.

Without major changes in Israeli policy, the arrest warrant against Smotrich could be Israel's darkest legal hour, with cascading consequences the likes of which cannot be foreseen.

Officers from the station, as well as members of the police's Special Patrol Unit and Border Police, prevented the protesters from entering and dispersed them "through the usage of force."

The window of preparation provided by the new advanced warning will vary by the geographic area targeted by the attacks, and the system is expected to be implemented within the next few days.
