Deadly Missiles Strike Israeli Research and Residential Areas
Regional Conflict Escalates with Iran-Backed Forces Fire

The time is now 12:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

At midnight, the situation across Israel and the wider region remains tense and volatile. Reports confirm that Israel’s multi-front military engagement continues unabated, with significant developments on several fronts. In the north, particularly in the Valley of Beit She'an, multiple alerts have been issued due to aggressive incursions by hostile aerial vehicles. Over the past hours, Israeli defense systems intercepted and neutralized aerial threats targeting the region, with alerts sounding in areas including Beit She'an, Tzova, and nearby settlements. The military reports that at least 21 hostile drones or aircraft have been identified and engaged, with no further advances reported.

Simultaneously, in central Israel, a devastating missile barrage struck the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, causing a fire and damage to critical research facilities. Emergency services responded swiftly, with reports of at least one laboratory building burning, and casualties include three civilians killed—two women aged 60 and 80, and a young child—and over 136 injured, some severely. The attack on Israel’s premier civilian scientific hub marks a significant blow to the country’s technological and scientific infrastructure.

Further south, in the region of Tel Aviv and Holon, a mass casualty event was declared following a missile strike on a residential building. Initial reports indicate four fatalities, including two children aged 8 and 10, and over 200 wounded. Rescue teams, including trauma units and firefighting crews, are working under hazardous conditions, extracting victims from the rubble. The number of missing persons remains uncertain, but fears are high for those trapped under debris.

In the Gaza Strip, ongoing hostilities persist, with Israel reporting targeted strikes against militant infrastructure and tunnels in response to ongoing rocket fire. Palestinian sources confirm that several projectiles have been launched into southern Israel, triggering sirens and forcing residents into shelters. Israel’s military emphasizes that these strikes are defensive, aiming to diminish the capabilities of terrorist groups operating in the area.

Lebanese Hezbollah and other Iran-backed militias in Lebanon continue to threaten escalation, with reports of artillery exchanges along the border. In Syria, Israeli jets have launched strikes against Iranian-backed positions near Damascus, asserting the operation aims to prevent the transfer of weapons to militant groups. Meanwhile, in Iraq, US and Israeli officials indicate that Iran’s influence continues to expand, with reports of missile movements and increased activity at Iranian-backed militias.

Internationally, the United States and Iran are engaged in a delicate diplomatic dance. While the White House and the State Department affirm support for Israel’s right to defend itself, they also warn that the conflict is expected to last several weeks, with some US officials describing the war as prolonged and intensive. The Biden administration has not issued direct military support but has expressed readiness to assist if requested by Israel.

Tensions extend further as reports emerge of Iranian missile facilities being damaged in recent strikes, including at the Natanz nuclear site and the Isfahan complex. The International Atomic Energy Agency has confirmed damage to four key structures but reports no increase in radiation outside the facilities. Iran’s nuclear ambitions and its support for proxy groups remain central concerns fueling the current escalation.

Meanwhile, in Iran, residents are experiencing chemical odors and breathing difficulties, attributed to the destruction of weapons storage sites in the south. The situation underscores the broader regional instability and the potential for chemical hazards amid ongoing military operations.

In Iraq, the US consulate in Erbil has come under attack with explosions reported near the diplomatic compound, indicating that regional conflicts are intensifying. Israeli officials have called for international support and have warned that Iran’s plans include invasion strategies from multiple directions, with some sources citing a possible nuclear component.

As the conflict persists, Israeli Defense Forces continue to reinforce civilian shelters and prepare for further hostilities. The country remains on high alert, with military operations ongoing on multiple fronts. The coming days are expected to be critical as regional and international powers navigate the complex and dangerous landscape of this multi-front confrontation.
