The time is now 07:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

Good morning. This is your hourly update on the ongoing multi-front conflict involving Israel and Iran.

Israel’s Defense Minister, Israel Katz, has issued a stark warning to residents in Iran living near key weapons production sites, urging them to evacuate immediately. Israel plans to strike these suspected facilities as part of a broader effort to dismantle Iran’s nuclear and missile capabilities. The Israeli military has also begun disseminating messages in Arabic and Farsi, advising Iranian civilians to seek shelter in mosques, schools, and subway systems for their safety.

In recent days, Israel has carried out extensive strikes across multiple fronts. Over the weekend, Israeli aircraft targeted more than 170 military and infrastructural sites in Iran and Yemen, including over 80 in Tehran, focusing on nuclear facilities and missile programs. Notably, the strikes targeted sites suspected of hiding Iran’s nuclear archive, with operations conducted in coordination with intelligence agencies. The Israeli Air Force also attacked targets in Sanaa, Yemen, aiming at Houthi military leadership.

Within Iran, the military reports that more than 80 targets were hit in Tehran, including the Ministry of Defense and facilities linked to the nuclear project. The operation, dubbed “Operation Lion’s Claw,” has involved over 50 fighter jets and precision strikes, and continues to target Iran’s nuclear and missile infrastructure. The Israeli military emphasizes that these strikes are part of a critical effort to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, which Israel views as an existential threat.

Meanwhile, in Gaza, fighting persists with Israeli forces responding to ongoing hostilities. A commander from the Kfir Brigade lost his life to RPG fire, and dozens of hostages remain in Hamas captivity. Israel continues to prioritize the rescue of these captives as a key objective in the conflict.

On the home front, Israeli authorities are managing the crisis with extensive alert systems and rescue efforts. Emergency services are working around the clock to rescue those trapped under rubble following Iranian missile strikes, including in Bat Yam, where a deadly missile impact caused significant destruction. Israeli defenses intercepted numerous missiles over Tel Aviv early this morning amid continued barrage attacks.

Internationally, concerns grow over the regional destabilization. Cyprus has increased security measures for Israelis traveling through its territory, amid fears of Iranian-backed attacks. The US and regional allies monitor the situation closely, with some suggesting Iran’s current weakened position relative to pre-conflict times.

Israeli officials have reiterated their resolve. Prime Minister Netanyahu visited the site of the Bat Yam missile strike, emphasizing that Israel’s military will continue to retaliate and dismantle Iran’s military infrastructure. Defense Minister Katz declared that Israel is attacking regime targets in Tehran and evacuating populations in targeted areas, warning that those who attack Israel will face severe consequences.

In a significant development, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has confirmed the death of Amir Ali Hajizadeh, head of the IRGC’s aerospace unit, killed during one of the recent Israeli strikes early Friday morning. Several other senior IRGC officers are also reported dead. Iran has condemned these actions but has not yet responded with a full military escalation.

Amidst the violence, regional leaders and international diplomats are calling for de-escalation. Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has contacted the president of Cyprus to seek intervention for a ceasefire, though Israeli officials remain firm in their military objectives.

The conflict has also impacted Israel’s economy, with the stock market experiencing fluctuations amid heightened regional tensions. Analysts warn that continued escalation could affect national revenue streams and increase the demand for additional military spending.

As the situation develops, Israeli military operations persist across Iran, Lebanon, Gaza, and Syria, with ongoing strikes aimed at disrupting Iran’s military capabilities and preventing the transfer of advanced weapons to hostile groups. The Israeli government remains committed to safeguarding its citizens and neutralizing threats, while regional and global powers watch closely.

This is your update. Stay tuned for further developments.
