        Israelis are helping again the young people of Iran freeing themselves.  Israel is right there.  May we continue to have a freedom of caring for each other and helping out like the lions above.  Shalom Tousi, I love you, too, and that's from an old Israeli Jewess living in USA's Portland, Oregon, former teacher, now a blogger.   I know we haven't had good relations; horrid ones with Ayatollahs, but good with your former Shah. What's all the listed meetings with IRGC people  their nuclear international continental rockets about ? Looks like they're all in hiding or Moscow!  Let's make it even better today!!! 

Based on the biblical and national symbolism of Israel, the lion (specifically the Lion of Judah) is found on the Emblem of Israel (the state emblem), which features a menorah surrounded by olive branches, framed by a shield with a lion on it. It is also represented in various Israeli, governmental, and military insignia representing strength and the Tribe of Judah.

In June 2025, Israel launched "Operation Rising Lion," with IDF forces conducting intense, targeted strikes against Iranian military, nuclear, and regime infrastructure. That was only 7 months ago.  

These operations, including airstrikes and specialized attacks, killed over 30 senior IRGC commanders, destroyed missile launchers, and damaged nuclear sites at Natanz and Fordow. 

Operation Rising Lion (June 2025) was a 12-day Israeli aerial campaign targeting Iranian nuclear and military infrastructure, featuring over 300 airstrikes and 12,000+ intelligence images. Visuals include MAXAR satellite imagery showing damage at the Natanz enrichment facility, IDF, Facebook photos of IAF jets taking off, and images of female navigators, such as Maj. Shin. 

Major Shin (often referred to as Major Sh.) is a female combat navigator in the Israeli Air Force (IAF) who gained public attention for her role in historic, long-range airstrikes against Iran in June 2025. Flying over 1,500 kilometers, she emphasized the mission's goal of removing existential threats to Israel for a safer future.
