Roughly 24 hours before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched a blistering assault on Iran, Israel's opposition was scheming to bring down his government.

Israeli minister warns Tehran 'will pay the price' after eight killed in overnight strikes - Strikes come after Israel killed the leader of Iran's armed forces intelligence unit in attacks on Sunday

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent effusive birthday wishes to U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday, praising him as a staunch ally as Israel continued to bombard its arch foe Iran.

Israeli attacks on Iranian facilities could escalate the threat of regional and global conflict. Donald Trump distances himself from his traditional ally.

U.S. President Donald Trump suggested Sunday that American forces "could get involved" in the intensifying military conflict that Israel started late last week with a barrage of attacks on Iran, prompting large-scale retaliatory strikes and grave warnings of a prolonged and catastrophic war.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday vowed intensified strikes on Iran, declaring that "what they have felt so far is nothing compared with what they will be handed in the coming days",

Yet a far more obscure issue is posing the greatest test to Netanyahu's lengthy rule : the draft of young ultra-Orthodox men to the military.
