How the headlines differ
Outlets vary between framing US strikes on Iran as the lead fact (Behadrei Haredim, Ynet, Now 14) versus foregrounding Trump's quoted threats or vows of retaliation (Haaretz, TheMarker, Arutz Sheva, Kikar HaShabbat); some cite a Jordan attack or Hormuz incidents as triggers, and only some mention Israel being informed.
