'ISRAEL'S PLAN TO KILL KHAMENEI WAS VETOED'
In a report by Reuters citing two U.S. officials, it was stated that U.S. President Donald Trump vetoed Israel's plan to kill Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
According to the report, one source said, "Have the Iranians killed an American yet? No. We are not even talking about attacking the political leadership until they do that."
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that high-ranking U.S. officials have been in constant communication with Israeli officials following Israel's launch of a large-scale attack on Iran aimed at halting its nuclear program.
In an interview with Fox News' "Special Report with Bret Baier," Netanyahu was asked about the Reuters report and replied, "There are many baseless reports about conversations that never happened, and I will not get into them."
However, Netanyahu added, "But I can tell you this: I think we are doing what we need to do, and we will do what we need to do. I think the U.S. knows what is good for the U.S."
Israeli National Security Advisor Tzachi Hanegbi also denied the report, calling it "fake news of the highest order."

Israel's Haaretz newspaper, citing an unnamed security source, reported that the Israeli military would reduce the number of its troops in Gaza and deploy them toward the eastern and northern borders.
It was reported that this step was taken against the possibility of "foreign elements infiltrating the country from Jordan and Syria, and Hezbollah fighting alongside Iran against Israel."
The source did not provide information regarding the number of troops in Gaza or the scale of the withdrawal, but stated that the decision was made "after receiving intelligence that Iran had asked its proxies to assist it in the conflict."
