The time is now 06:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

At six in the evening, tensions across the Middle East remain intensely high amid ongoing Israeli military operations and escalating regional conflict. Israel continues to alert its citizens to remain near shelters, particularly in northern and central regions, as warnings of potential Iranian attacks persist. The Israeli Defense Forces have advised the public to minimize movement and avoid gatherings during this period of heightened alert.

Israel has launched extensive airstrikes across Iran, targeting key military sites, including the Ministry of Intelligence in Tehran, as well as multiple strategic locations such as Shiraz, Kermanshah, and Isfahan. Reports indicate that over 170 Israeli airstrikes have been conducted since June 13, striking more than 720 targets inside Iran. The Israeli government asserts these operations aim to neutralize Iran’s uranium enrichment facilities and missile arsenals, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warning that every regime asset will be targeted.

Meanwhile, Iran responds with aggressive measures, including missile launches and drone attacks. Iranian forces have been observed deploying ballistic missiles toward Israeli positions, with authorities claiming that these are part of a "launch command" involving religious invocations prior to deployment. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has reportedly been moved to an underground bunker near Tehran, a precaution following Israeli strikes. Iranian officials also report that their missile launch command is on high alert, with threats to retaliate against any Israeli or allied targets.

Regional proxies are experiencing significant setbacks. Hezbollah in Lebanon has suffered severe damage from Israeli strikes, and Lebanese efforts to expel the group are underway. In Gaza, Hamas remains degraded, though the hostage crisis continues with civilians held in captivity amid ongoing hostilities. In Yemen, Houthi forces persist with missile and drone attacks against Saudi Arabia and other regional targets, complicating the broader conflict.

International responses are mixed; while some European nations such as Britain, France, and Germany have expressed cautious support for Israel’s right to defend itself, there is concern that the conflict may extend further, fueling calls for diplomacy. France has explicitly stated it did not participate in recent military actions and emphasized its position of neutrality.

The United States under the current administration has moved a carrier strike group into the region amid reports of increased Iranian missile activity and threats. An American military official indicated that preparations are underway for possible contingencies, reflecting the severity of the current crisis.

Diplomatic efforts are ongoing, with Iran’s Foreign Minister signaling readiness to return to negotiations if Israeli strikes cease, aiming to de-escalate the situation. Conversely, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has confirmed the elimination of its intelligence chief and deputy in recent Israeli operations, pointing to a continued cycle of targeted strikes and retaliatory threats.

In the domestic arena, Iran faces significant internal turmoil. Reports from Tehran describe severe traffic congestion as residents flee the city amid fears of further Israeli attacks. There have also been reports of explosions and missile launches within Iran, including a recent fire at a missile site in Bydgana, raising concerns about the country’s missile infrastructure.

Amid these developments, the global community remains watchful. France’s President Emmanuel Macron clarified that France did not participate in any military intervention on Israel’s behalf, emphasizing that Russia cannot mediate between Iran and Israel at this time. Meanwhile, Iran’s leadership continues to issue stern warnings about retaliatory actions, including threats to target oil infrastructure in neighboring Gulf states if their facilities are damaged.

The situation remains fluid and perilous, with Israeli officials warning that they will continue to strike Iranian targets until the threat is neutralized, and regional allies prepared for further escalation. The coming hours are critical, as military movements and diplomatic signals suggest that the conflict could intensify further in the days ahead.
