| | Benjamin Netanyahu wants to hit Iran so hard that Israel doesn’t need to keep going to war every few years |  | Henry Bodkin Jerusalem Correspondent | Israel wants to destroy the threat posed by Iran for a generation.
They’ve been waiting for this war for 30 years, and are now keen to maximise the impact of the fighting while the strategic window remains open.
While US forces bombed Kharg Island – Iran’s oil export hub – overnight in an attack that “totally obliterated every military target” according to Donald Trump, it remains unclear how long the president plans to continue his involvement in the conflict.
Realising that the regime won’t fall, Israel’s aim is to inflict as much damage as possible while the opportunity to do so lasts. | David, his nine months pregnant wife, Mo, and two children take shelter in an underground train station in Bnei Brak | Like many Israelis, David and Mo Singer are supportive of the war, but don’t want to take refuge in underground bunkers every year.
Huddled together on the floor of Aharonovich underground station in Bnei Brak near Tel Aviv, they quietly read scripture as their two exhausted children sleep beside them.
The couple are stoical, but it’s obvious they’d rather be anywhere else.
That goes doubly for Mrs Singer, who is expecting a third child any day now, but is barred from the hospital until she goes into labour due to the state of emergency.
“The kids don’t understand the war, they’re just tired of it,” Mrs Singer tells me, shifting her bump uncomfortably. “We support it. We just pray that with God’s help, we nail them this time that we can bring this to an end once and for all.”

Some councils are advising teachers that children’s drawings can be “idolatrous”. However, as the number of Muslims, and their political influence, in Britain grows, how far will Islam shape the country? Sam Ashworth-Hayes investigates.

In the interview at Telegraph HQ, he says that his elevation to the Tory leadership at the age of 36 was “too much, too soon” and the “least successful period” of his career, revealing the best piece of advice he received from the firebrand Labour MP Barbara Castle.

Winkleman’s new chat show launched last night, but, as Liam Kelly reminisces, it’s been a long road to BBC superstardom: her career began with awarding a carrier bag of passed wind to a TV contestant. As for her new show, our critic Anita Singh finds it wanting.

| Mother’s Day feasting | Oregano-roast chicken with roast pepper and sourdough stuffing and smoky chilli aioli |  | Diana Henry The Telegraph’s award-winning cookery writer | I sat, midweek, trying to discuss with my sons what Mother’s Day would look like in our house. First, I thought about a delicious breakfast on Sunday: French toast with maple syrup and smoked bacon, cooked by them, or a rather healthier Turkish affair, with tomatoes, eggs and feta, thick yogurt and dried fruit compote. Then they tell me they’re both working all weekend, which just about puts the tin hat on any plans (as my granny would have said). | Spinach with chilli, garlic and ginger | It turns out that I’m going to cook one of their favourite dishes – oregano-roast chicken with roast pepper and sourdough stuffing and smoky chilli aioli – to be eaten at 10pm on Sunday when they get home. There’s quite a lot going on with the chicken but I can’t serve a dish without vegetables. I hate reheating spinach so I’ll cook spinach with chilli, garlic and ginger at the last minute. | Sharp lemon pairs deliciously with sweet scallop flesh in this classic dish | I am usually not very indulgent when I’m eating on my own but since it’s Mother’s Day weekend I’m going to have scallops Grenebloise for lunch on Saturday. Just halve the quantities for the sauce. Adam Byatt, a chef and writer who does very good reels on Instagram, made this recently with cod and I remembered just how good it is to do something Grenobloise. Plus, there’s nothing better than scallops when you want to treat yourself.
