Israeli army strikes inactive nuclear reactor in Arak, Iran: Avichay Adraee
Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee announced on X that the Israeli military struck an inactive nuclear reactor in the Arak region of Iran overnight. Adraee stated, ''Construction of the reactor began in 1997 but was never completed due to international pressure. In recent years, the Iranian regime had worked to convert the facility into a reactor capable of producing plutonium. However, Iran deliberately avoided completing the conversion to use it as leverage against the West.'' Adraee added that the strike aimed to prevent Iran from acquiring the capability to activate the reactor. #عاجل ❌ هاجم جيش الدفاع الليلة الماضية مفاعلًا نوويًا لم يكن نشطًا في منطقة أراك بإيران. لقد بدأ بناء المفاعل عام 1997، لكنه لم يكتمل بسبب تدخل المجتمع الدولي. عمل النظام الإيراني في السنوات الأخيرة على تحويل المفاعل إلى مفاعل قادر على إنتاج البلوتونيوم، إلا أن النظام تعمّد عدم… — افيخاي ادرعي (@AvichayAdraee) June 19, 2025

Egyptian restaurant angers Israelis with 'Rocket Koshary' dish
ALBAWABA - A photo posted by the famous Egyptian restaurant "Abu Tarek Koshary" on Facebook has rapidly become virally shared. The photo depicts a rocket-shaped plate of koshary, designed using an artificial intelligence (AI) program, and published under the title "Coming Soon to Markets." It caused a huge buzz among social media users. The 'Rocket Koshary' dish has not only become a trend among Arabs online, but many Israelis reacted with anger over the dish. Roi Kais, an Israeli journalist specializing in Arab affairs and an analyst for the Hebrew Channel 11 TV, commented on his official X account earlier, "It seems that Abu Tariq Restaurant, which serves Cairo's beloved koshary, has entered the midst of the war between Israel and Iran." It is worth noting that Koshary Abu Tarek's Facebook page deleted the image of the 'Rocket Koshary'; however, it is still gaining widespread interaction. A number of politicians and Israelis also commented on journalist Roi Kais's X post, and a former Israeli ambassador to Egypt wrote that the Egyptian restaurant is popular and beloved by Egyptians. يتضح أنه بعد التغريدة، قامت صفحة كشري "أبو طارق" في القاهرة على فيسبوك بحذف المنشور الذي كان يروّج لطبق جديد على شكل "صاروخ".وسائل إعلام مصرية ذكرت أن القرار جاء بعد تقارير عن "غضب في إسرائيل" نعم، الأمر حقيقي بالفعل!@kaisos1987

'We Killed Him': Who did Iran eliminate - and why Is Israel hiding his identity?
ALBAWABA - On social media, a mysterious post made by the official "Iran in Arabic" accounts on Facebook and X has sparked a lot of conjecture. The statement was sent in the early hours of Monday in response to Iran's missile strikes on Tel Aviv, but it did not identify the target. It simply said, "Allahu Akbar.. We killed him." Thousands of users questioned whether the tweet was a reference to a high-profile assassination, sparking a flurry of replies. Given their involvement in the ongoing battle in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir soon came under scrutiny. Many users believed the mysterious remark was a reference to Ben-Gvir, who is known for his radical language and incitement to escalate the conflict, or Netanyahu, whom they called a "war criminal." During a severe information blackout enforced by Israeli authorities, a security source apparently told "Iran in Arabic" that a senior Israeli security figure had been slain in southern Israel, while the message remained purposefully ambiguous. الله اكبر .. لقد قتلناه.! — الاحداث الايرانية (@amar_teCh088) June 16, 2025 As the globe waits for official confirmation or denial, dozens of amusing and speculative comments swamped the initial article, with people confessing that the suspense was "killing them."
