ISRAEL STRIKES IRAN – Politico

Last night: Israel launched what it described as “preemptive” military strikes aimed at Iran’s nuclear facilities, which also killed the country’s top three generals. The attack struck “at the heart of Iran’s nuclear weaponization program,” including its main enrichment facility in Natanz, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a televised address. He added that Operation Rising Lion “will continue for as many days as it takes.”

Scale of the damage: Aside from Iranian nuclear facilities, Israel targeted the country’s air defenses, missile facilities, weapons depots, labs, Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps officials and scientists, per the New York Times. Iranian state TV reported Hossein Salami, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, was among the dead.

IRAN VOWS “LETHAL” RETRIBUTION: Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on X that Israel had “prepared a bitter fate for itself.” The Iranian military, also on X, said of its plans for retaliation: “This will not be a mere demonstration of will or technological capability. This time, our response will be lethal.” Netanyahu told Israelis to prepare to remain in bomb shelters for an extended period of time.

About Sentinel

SENTINEL is a European project funded by the European Commission and led by the Security and Crisis Centre (SACC by EJC), the security arm of the European Jewish Congress. It brings together the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism (ICCT), national-level Jewish communities from Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, and Spain, the European Union of Jewish Students, with the support of the Italian Carabinieri and the Police Presidium of the Czech Republic.

The project is designed to strengthen the protection of Jewish places of worship across the European Union through a coordinated set of activities over a three-year period.

SENTINEL will harness AI-enhanced open-source intelligence to monitor and assess current, emerging, and future threats. It will also equip Jewish communities with practical tools, including a mobile security application with a panic button and an interactive map built on real-time incident data.

Training and capacity-building are at the core of the project. These include scenario-based security exercises, crisis management seminars, and both in-person and online training sessions for community security trustees. SENTINEL will also organise EU-wide and local conferences to foster collaboration between Jewish communities, public authorities, and law enforcement agencies.

Complementing these efforts, national and local workshops will promote knowledge-sharing and preparedness, alongside pilot training programmes for law enforcement. A dedicated podcast series will help raise awareness by exploring threat assessments and potential responses.

With its wide-reaching and inclusive approach, SENTINEL will directly benefit to Jewish communities across 23 EU Member States, enhancing resilience, strengthening preparedness, and building long-term cooperation with law enforcement to meet today’s evolving security challenges.
