Quick Glance: Israeli Strike Damages Iranian Air Defense System Without Detection, Officials Say
- An Israeli airstrike on Iran on Friday damaged an air defense system, according to Western and Iranian officials, and appeared calculated to deliver a message that Israel could bypass Iran’s defensive systems undetected and paralyze them.
- The strike damaged a defensive battery near Natanz, a city in central Iran that is critical to the country’s nuclear weapons program, according to the officials.
- The relatively limited scope of Israel’s strike and the muted response from Iranian officials, however, seem to have eased tensions.
- It was confirmed that Israel had deployed aerial drones and at least one missile fired from a warplane, as stated by three Western and two Iranian officials.

Quick Glance: IAA Unearths Ancient Ivory Vessel in Beersheba
- The findings confirm close connections between the region and Egypt during the Chalcolithic period.
- An ivory vessel made from an elephant tusk was discovered near Beersheba in an excavation conducted by the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), serving as evidence of the ties between the region and Egypt dating back to the Chalcolithic period (around 4500 to 3500 BCE).
- Uncovering an ancient settlement with underground spaces in the rich, dust-like loess soil, the IAA excavation at Horbat Raqiq revealed three impressive vessels intentionally arranged in a specific manner. One vessel had been broken in antiquity and deliberately buried.
- Crafted from an elephant tusk, the vessel underwent highly intricate conservation and restoration processes to maintain its authenticity and historical significance. This discovery enhances our understanding of the Chalcolithic period and the cultural exchange relationships of the region with neighboring and distant cultures.
