Iran launches multi-front missile assault on Israel
Israel faces devastating strikes and civilian casualties
U.S. vows support as regional tensions escalate

The time is now 01:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

At one a.m., Israeli forces continue to face a multi-front conflict that has escalated dramatically over recent hours. Iran's military actions have targeted Israel directly, firing ballistic missiles and attack drones across seven key fronts, including the West Bank, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen. Overnight, Iranian missiles struck civilian residential areas in central Israel, resulting in at least four deaths—two elderly women and two children aged ten and eight—and over 200 injured. Rescue efforts are ongoing to reach approximately 35 individuals still trapped under rubble in central Israel.

In the north, sirens echoed across the Golan Heights, the Jordan Valley, and the Galilee, as Israel intercepted multiple incoming missiles and attack drones. In the central regions, missile strikes devastated residential neighborhoods, causing widespread damage to dozens of buildings, with six confirmed to require demolition due to destruction. Israeli emergency services report that over twenty people remain unaccounted for following the destruction in the city of Bat Yam, where at least 61 buildings have been damaged.

Meanwhile, Israeli military units report a significant infiltration of hostile aircraft into 21 different areas in the Jordan Valley and northern borders. These incursions prompted widespread alerts and the activation of civil defense measures, including mandatory sheltering in affected communities.

In Gaza, the Israeli Defense Forces confirmed the death of Sergeant First Class Noam Shemesh, 21, from Jerusalem, who was killed by an anti-tank missile in Khan Younis. Another soldier was injured in the same attack. The ongoing fighting in Gaza continues to involve intense exchanges of fire, with Israeli troops engaged in efforts to contain militant groups.

Israeli domestic response has been swift. The city of Bat Yam reports over twenty missing persons and extensive damage to infrastructure. Rescue teams are actively searching for survivors beneath the rubble. Meanwhile, the government has ordered heightened military readiness across all fronts, with Defense Minister warnings of prolonged conflict expected to last weeks rather than days.

Internationally, the United States has expressed tacit support for Israel's right to defend itself, with officials indicating that the conflict could extend over several weeks. A White House spokesperson clarified that the US will not interfere with Israel's defensive actions, emphasizing support for its ally amid the escalating crisis. Notably, former President Donald Trump issued a statement denying any US involvement in the recent attacks, asserting that if Iran or its proxies attack the United States, American military might will respond with unmatched force.

Amid these tensions, concerns grow over the spread of jihadist ideology within the United States. A pro-Israel Christian organization warned that extremist ideas are gaining traction in American communities and cautioned against the potential for violence, especially following recent threats and the disruption of a major Israel summit in Texas.

In Iran, reports indicate that a subterranean missile site in Karamanshah was attacked and destroyed entirely. The Iranian military has yet to confirm the incident officially, but the destruction signals mounting tensions and the potential for further escalation in regional conflicts.

As the conflict persists, the Israeli government remains vigilant, with military and emergency services on high alert. The coming hours will be critical in assessing the full scope of the attacks and Israel’s responses across its borders. This escalation marks one of the most severe confrontations in the region in recent years, with the potential to reshape the security landscape for Israel and its neighbors.
