Israel and Iran launched a new round of attacks as the conflict between the two heavily armed rivals enters its fifth day.

Jonathan Conricus, a former IDF spokesperson, says Iran is "the weakest that I've ever seen it" after Israel's launch of Operation Rising Lion.

An investigation by The Associated Press earlier this year uncovered that the Israeli military uses U.S.-made AI models in war to sift through intelligence and intercept communications to learn the movements of its enemies. It’s been used in the wars with Hamas in Gaza and with Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Twenty-four hours later, Israel began attacking Iran. In one instant, Netanyahu’s political problems were swept away. No more ultra-Orthodox parties complaining about the military draft or far-right parties shouting about praying in the al-Aqsa compound. “The cards are in his hands. If they weren’t a week ago, they are now,” said the official.

Israel's air force achieved a "remarkable feat," said William Freer, a research fellow for national security at the U.K.-based Council on Geostrategy.
