Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - Update from 2025-06-16 at 04:04

HEADLINESIsraeli Strikes Destroy One-Third of Iran’s MissilesIsraeli-Cairo Diplomatic Talks Postpone Amid Rising TensionsHezbollah Drone Sparks New Israel Defense AlertThe time is now 05:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.At five o'clock in the morning, Israeli military sources report significant developments in the ongoing conflict with Iran and its proxies. The Israel Defense Forces have conducted targeted strikes, claiming the destruction of one-third of Iran’s missile launchers. The objective, as stated by the IDF, is to eliminate the threat posed by these missile capabilities, which have been used to attack Israeli territory. Despite the successful interdictions, Israeli officials acknowledge that the Iranian regime is responding harshly, with over 65 rockets and dozens of unmanned aerial vehicles launched in retaliation. Most of these projectiles have been intercepted, but some have reached their targets, causing casualties and damage.In a series of recent operations, Israel has also continued its covert campaign against high-ranking Iranian intelligence figures. Four senior officials, including the head of the Revolutionary Guard’s intelligence organization and the chief of the Quds Force intelligence division, were reportedly eliminated in airstrikes near Tehran. These figures played central roles in Iran’s strategic planning and support for proxy groups across the region, including Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and Iraqi militias.Meanwhile, the threat from Iran’s proxies persists. In the early hours, over 100 missiles struck central and northern Israel, resulting in the death of eight civilians and injuring 287 others. Major population centers like Tel Aviv, Bnei Brak, Haifa, and Petah Tikva suffered extensive damage, with buildings collapsed and fires raging. Rescue efforts are ongoing, with emergency services evacuating victims and working to contain fires. The Israeli military reports intercepting numerous incoming missiles, though some penetrated defenses, causing destruction.The Lebanese Hezbollah has also been active. Reports indicate a drone from Hezbollah made it into Israeli airspace near Caesarea, triggering sirens and prompting interception efforts. This incident follows prior provocations, including a drone attack that targeted Netanyahu’s residence in Caesarea, which has heightened tensions in the region.In the north, Israeli defenses intercepted a hostile drone over the Golan Heights, and alerts were issued in multiple regions, including the Valley of Springs, Beit She'an, and the Jordan Valley. There are ongoing reports of enemy aircraft activity across 74 areas, with several drones and unmanned aerial vehicles being detected, some of which have been shot down or fell short.On the diplomatic front, a planned French-Saudi conference aimed at establishing a Palestinian state was postponed, amid the tumult. Meanwhile, Western diplomatic sources suggest that the conflict may last weeks and warn that if Israel’s military actions do not decisively weaken Iran’s nuclear program, the regime could suffer politically. A Western diplomat in Brussels expressed concern that unless Iran's nuclear infrastructure is dismantled, the political cost for Iran’s leadership could be high.Israeli domestic security remains heightened. Authorities have detained a suspect involved in looting homes damaged during missile attacks, emphasizing that civilian resilience is being tested by ongoing hostilities. In addition, a major Israeli research institute, the Weizmann Institute, sustained heavy damage from a missile strike, with fires and injuries reported.The situation around Netanyahu’s residence continues to be tense. Hezbollah and Iranian channels have been closely monitoring the area, with alerts and interception efforts ongoing. The Israeli government maintains that its military campaign is aimed solely at eliminating Iran’s ability to threaten its citizens, while international observers debate the potential duration and outcomes of the conflict.In the broader regional context, reports indicate Yemen's Houthi rebels launched missiles toward southern Israel, though these fell short of crossing into Israeli territory. The threat from the south remains active, with missile launches from Yemen detected but not reaching Israeli borders.As the morning unfolds, Israeli officials emphasize that their operations are aimed at degrading Iran’s military capabilities while defending their civilian population. The region remains on edge, with ongoing alerts and military activity indicating that the confrontation shows no signs of abating soon. This is the latest update from Israel, where the conflict with Iran continues to escalate, with military, diplomatic, and regional implications unfolding rapidly.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINESIran Launches Massive Missile Attack on IsraelIsrael Responds with Targeted Strikes on IranUS and Allies Brace as Regional Tensions ExplodeThe time is now 04:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.At 4 a.m., the security situation across Israel and the broader region remains tense and rapidly shifting. Over the past night, Iran launched a significant missile assault on central and northern Israeli cities, with reports indicating approximately one hundred ballistic missiles fired from Iran, targeting areas including Petah Tikva, Bnei Brak, Tel Aviv, and the port city of Eilat. The strikes resulted in at least eight civilian fatalities, including a six-day-old baby pulled from the rubble, and hundreds injured. Hospitals in Israel treated nearly 300 victims, and rescue operations are ongoing. Israeli military sources confirm that in response to the Iranian missile barrage, the Israeli Air Force has conducted targeted strikes on Iranian military sites, including the heavily fortified Fordow nuclear facility and the underground Natanz complex, with satellite imagery suggesting damage to multiple nuclear and missile sites across Iran.Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has issued a stern warning, promising imminent retaliatory actions against Tehran, comparing future strikes to the "Beirut model," focusing on government and infrastructure targets and warning civilians to evacuate these areas. Meanwhile, the Israeli Defense Forces have successfully intercepted eight unmanned aerial vehicles launched from Iran overnight using the newly operational 'Barak Magen' missile system, installed on Sa’ar 6 missile ships. Since the start of hostilities, approximately 25 UAVs have been shot down, emphasizing Israel's enhanced missile defense capabilities.Adding to regional volatility, reports indicate ongoing attacks from Yemen’s Houthis, with a missile launched from Yemen falling short and causing no damage, but the Israeli military confirming casualties in the Iranian missile strikes within Israel. Among the casualties are elderly civilians and children, with the death toll rising to eight overnight. The IDF has also confirmed the destruction of Iranian missile launchers and the damage to strategic sites in Iran, including a refinery in Kermanshah and other military infrastructure.International responses are varied; Russia has unusually begun evacuating its citizens from Iran and suspended consular services amid the chaos, while Australia has closed its embassy in Tehran. The United States, under the Biden administration, reportedly blocked an Israeli plan to assassinate Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, fearing escalation unless Iran first attacks Americans. US officials have also confirmed that the American embassy in Tel Aviv sustained minor damage from the Iranian missile attacks.Israeli authorities are actively managing a large-scale evacuation operation, with plans to deploy two cruise ships to bring home approximately 200,000 Israelis stranded abroad, as Israel’s airspace remains closed. The government continues to advise caution for Israeli travelers in neighboring countries, with warnings against land crossings into Egypt and Jordan, recommending waiting until airports reopen.Furthermore, tensions extend to international diplomatic and military arenas. France’s defense exhibition organizers have refused to display Israeli military equipment, citing political reasons, prompting a strong Israeli protest. Meanwhile, satellite imagery reveals extensive damage to Iranian nuclear and missile facilities after Israeli airstrikes, and reports of Israel conducting multiple attacks in western Iran, including in Kermanshah.In a notable development, former US President Donald Trump reportedly vetoed plans by Israeli officials to target Iran’s Supreme Leader, emphasizing that the US would only consider such actions if American lives were directly threatened. US-Israel relations continue to be complex amid the ongoing conflict.As the situation develops, the region remains on high alert. The Israeli government and military are mobilizing all available resources to defend its citizens and respond proportionally to Iran’s aggression, while international actors monitor closely. The coming hours will be critical in shaping the trajectory of this escalating conflict.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINES1. Israel Deploys New Defense System, Shoots Down Eight Drones2. Iran Strikes Kill Eight Civilians in Devastating Attack3. Israel Targets Iran’s Military, Disrupts Oil FacilitiesThe time is now 03:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.At 3 a.m., the situation in Israel remains intensely volatile as hostilities continue on multiple fronts. Early this morning, reports confirm that Israeli forces intercepted and shot down eight unmanned aerial vehicles launched from Iran, utilizing the newly operational 'Barak Magen' missile system, mounted on the Sahar 6 missile ships. This marks the first operational use of this advanced defense system, which is capable of countering a broad spectrum of threats, including drones, cruise missiles, and sea-to-land missiles. Since the start of the recent hostilities, Israel’s missile defense has intercepted approximately twenty-five UAVs aimed at civilian populations.In a devastating escalation, Iranian missile strikes during the early hours have resulted in the death of eight civilians, with a six-day-old baby among those rescued from rubble in central Israel. The attacks, which targeted both civilian infrastructure and military sites, have left over 287 injured, many in critical condition, as hospitals across the country mobilize to treat the wounded.Israeli military operations have targeted Iran’s military capabilities directly. Israel reportedly conducted airstrikes today on an oil refinery in Kermanshah, western Iran, and on key military facilities in Shiraz. Satellite imagery shows significant damage to Iranian industrial sites, with some reports suggesting a strategic effort to disrupt Iran’s missile production and supply chain.Meanwhile, Israeli aircraft have intensified efforts to neutralize Iranian ballistic missile launchers, using air superiority to hunt down and destroy these threats. The Israeli Air Force’s campaign, dubbed Operation Rising Lion, has expanded to include targeted strikes on Iranian missile sites and command centers, with reports indicating the destruction of multiple targets in western Iran.On the diplomatic front, tensions extend beyond the battlefield. Russia has unusually begun repatriating its citizens from Iran, halting consular services and advising airlines to avoid Iranian airspace until at least June 26. Australia has also closed its embassy in Tehran amid the ongoing crisis. These moves reflect the broader regional instability and the shifting international stance toward Iran’s aggressive posture.In Israel’s northern regions, residents are experiencing the psychological toll of ongoing missile threats. Southern Lebanon witnesses Iranian missiles targeting northern Israel, while civilians in southern Lebanon and surrounding areas enjoy the spectacle amid the danger. In Petah Tikva, rescue teams recovered the bodies of four civilians killed in missile strikes, and search operations continue in Haifa and other affected areas.The Israeli government has announced plans to evacuate approximately 200,000 citizens stranded abroad. Rescue efforts include deploying two cruise ships owned by Mano Shipping, which will operate as emergency ferries to bring Israelis home via Cyprus, as Ben-Gurion Airport remains closed. The government has issued a Level 4 travel warning for neighboring land crossings, urging citizens to wait until airspace reopens.International reactions remain mixed. The United States, under the Trump administration, reportedly blocked an Israeli plan to target Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, fearing escalation. Meanwhile, the US ambassador in Tel Aviv confirmed minor damage to the American embassy caused by Iranian missile activity overnight. In a surprising development, Russian authorities halted all consular services and advised airlines to cease flights over Iran, citing security concerns.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has maintained a firm stance, asserting that Israel will continue its targeted operations to degrade Iran’s military capabilities and protect its citizens. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned that Tehran’s current military activities will exact a heavy price, signaling Israel’s readiness for further offensive measures.In summary, the conflict’s toll on civilians is mounting, with casualties rising and infrastructure suffering extensive damage. The region faces an uncertain future as military, diplomatic, and humanitarian efforts unfold amid ongoing hostilities. Israel remains resolute in its efforts to defend its borders, while international powers seek to navigate a delicate balance of support and caution in this volatile period.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINESIsrael Targets Iran Military Infrastructure in Night StrikesIran Launches Over 370 Missiles Amid Civilian TollUS Reinforces Middle East as Tel Aviv Embassy HitThe time is now 02:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.At two a.m., a comprehensive picture emerges of a region under intense strain and active conflict. Israeli military sources confirm that the Israeli Air Force has conducted powerful operations across Iran, targeting missile launchers and military infrastructure, including ground-to-air missile sites south of Tehran. These strikes are part of Israel’s efforts to weaken Iran’s military capabilities and prevent further attacks.Meanwhile, Iran’s military activities remain aggressive. The Iranian authorities claim that their air defense systems shot down an American MQ9 drone near the border with Iraq. Additionally, Iran reports significant missile launches toward Israeli territory, including over 370 ballistic missiles, 11 salvos, and about 100 unmanned aerial vehicles since the escalation began. These attacks have resulted in the death of at least five civilians in Israel, with over 100 injured across multiple sites, including Tel Aviv, Haifa, Eilat, and suburbs like Petah Tikva and Bnei Brak. The damage includes destroyed residential buildings, critical infrastructure, and property.In the broader regional context, the situation is volatile. The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah has suffered severe losses, with the Israeli Defense Forces claiming to have decimated their operational capabilities, and Lebanon is making efforts to expel remaining Hezbollah elements from its territory. In Gaza, Hamas faces ongoing military pressure, and reports indicate the degradation of its operational capacity alongside a continuing hostage crisis involving Israeli citizens. Yemen’s Houthi rebels persist with missile and drone attacks targeting Israeli and regional interests from the south.Internationally, the United States is increasing its military presence in the Middle East. Reports now indicate that twenty-four American aircraft, including refueling and transport planes, have been deployed from bases in the United States to Europe, possibly signaling a strategic repositioning or escalation in anticipation of broader regional developments. The US also reports damage to its embassy in Tel Aviv following recent missile impacts, and the American ambassador has confirmed the closure of diplomatic facilities for safety.Adding to the tension, Iran claims to have intercepted and destroyed an American drone near the Iran-Iraq border, and Iranian state media report the alleged interception of vehicles suspected of carrying Israeli-made unmanned systems. Iranian opposition sources report the targeted killing of key intelligence figures in Tehran, including the head of Iran’s intelligence service and his deputy, believed to be the result of Israeli covert operations. Iran also reports that its security forces executed an individual accused of collaborating with Israeli intelligence.Tensions extend beyond military actions. In Poland, a controversial new law mandates that students aged 14 and 15 undergo mandatory firearm training, including shooting exercises, amid a tense security climate in Europe. This development reflects the heightened state of alert and preparedness in various parts of the world.On the diplomatic front, the United States confirms that its embassy in Tel Aviv sustained damage from a missile strike but remains operational. Meanwhile, the US ambassador emphasizes that the US stands with Israel, reinforcing its support amidst ongoing hostilities.In summary, the region faces a night marked by significant military engagements, civilian casualties, and strategic maneuvers. Israel’s defensive and offensive operations are intensifying against Iranian and proxy forces, while Iran and its allies respond with missile and drone attacks, creating a multi-front crisis. International powers are mobilizing forces and diplomatic efforts to manage or contain the unfolding conflict, which continues to threaten regional stability and global security.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINES1. Iran Launches Deadly Missiles in Major Israeli Cities2. Israel Strikes Tehran Targets Amid Escalating Conflict3. Elon Musk Provides Free Starlink Internet to IranThe time is now 01:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.At 1:00 AM, tensions and conflicts across the Middle East continue to escalate with significant developments on multiple fronts. Israeli military forces report successful strikes targeting Iranian air defense operators and missile launchers, with the Israeli Defense Forces announcing the elimination of ground-to-air missile personnel just moments before they reached their targets south of Tehran. Additionally, Israeli aircraft have targeted Iranian Quds Force command centers and military facilities in Tehran, aiming to disrupt planning for future acts of terror against Israel.Meanwhile, the Israeli Air Force carried out heavy strikes on suspected locations where Iran’s leadership, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, may be located, in a significant escalation of military activity. In response, Iran’s military launched a large-scale missile attack on Israeli territory, striking multiple sites including Haifa, Tel Aviv, and Eilat. The barrage resulted in at least four fatalities, over a hundred wounded, and extensive property damage, with rescue teams still searching for survivors. Among the victims was an 86-year-old man found deceased in one of the impacted areas.In the midst of this conflict, the United States has reported minor damage to its embassy in Tel Aviv, caused by a missile attack attributed to Iran. The US ambassador, Michael Herzog, confirmed that the embassy and consulate in Tel Aviv will remain closed for the day. The incident follows Iran’s recent missile barrage, which also caused casualties and damage in other Israeli cities, including a tragic incident in Bnei Brak where a civilian was found dead amidst the debris.Israeli officials have also indicated that Iran’s forces continue to fire missiles and drones from Yemen, contributing to the broader regional instability. The Houthi militia in Yemen has been active, launching multiple attacks against southern Israeli targets, although no casualties have been reported from these strikes at this time.Adding to the regional tension, reports indicate that Israeli forces have captured high-ranking Iranian Revolutionary Guard officers in a raid in Zanjan, Iran, including Colonel Reza Najafi and Hussein Rassouli, signaling a possible shift in intelligence operations and targeted actions against Iranian military leadership.On the diplomatic front, Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi reaffirmed Tehran’s right to develop nuclear energy and conduct research to serve its national interests, asserting that Iran has not abandoned negotiations with the United States. Conversely, Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian accused the US of violating international laws by allowing Israel to carry out strikes against Iran and its allies.In legal proceedings, a German court is set to rule on the case of Alaa Mousa, a Syrian doctor accused of committing crimes against humanity during Bashar al-Assad’s regime. Mousa faces charges related to torture and execution at military hospitals in Syria between 2011 and 2012, with prosecutors seeking a life sentence. The trial highlights ongoing international efforts to hold regime supporters accountable for war crimes.Meanwhile, in Israel, the toll from recent missile attacks continues to rise. Over 100 individuals have been injured across multiple locations, including Haifa, Tel Aviv, and Bnei Brak, with three confirmed fatalities. Emergency teams are actively engaged in rescue and recovery operations, emphasizing the ongoing danger posed by Iran’s missile barrage.Amidst these hostilities, calls are growing for the formation of a broad national unity government in Israel to restore stability and forge a unified response to the region’s threats. Opposition leader Yair Lapid and other political figures advocate for a government that can prioritize security and national resilience, especially as internal divisions threaten to deepen under the weight of ongoing conflict.In the technological arena, billionaire Elon Musk announced that he has activated free internet access through Starlink for Iranian citizens, aiming to counteract Iran’s efforts to block online communication and prevent protests or reporting on the ongoing hostilities.As the conflict persists, the region remains on high alert, with the international community closely monitoring developments. The cycle of violence underscores the urgent need for diplomatic resolutions, even as military actions continue to shape the landscape of Middle Eastern geopolitics.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINESIran missile strikes devastate Israeli cities in surprise assaultIsrael targets Iran’s missile depots, escalating regional tensionsGaza chaos deepens as Israel battles Hamas, hostages remain at riskThe time is now 12:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.Today in Israel, the nation remains under the shadow of ongoing conflict and regional tensions. Reports confirm that a substantial missile barrage from Iran has struck multiple sites across the country, including Haifa, Tel Aviv, and Eilat. The attack resulted in at least three fatalities and over a hundred injuries, with rescue teams working tirelessly to locate and assist survivors. Among the injured, a woman in her thirties is in critical condition. The damage to residential buildings and infrastructure underscores the severity of this assault, prompting urgent alerts and safety measures across affected areas.Meanwhile, military sources indicate that an Israeli airstrike targeted a large missile weapons depot belonging to Iran’s regime, which is widely considered a designated state sponsor of terrorism. This operation aims to diminish Iran’s missile capabilities and signal Israel’s readiness to defend its borders. The government continues to emphasize that such strikes are part of a broader effort to neutralize threats from Iran and its proxies, which include Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthi rebels in Yemen, and ongoing hostilities with Hamas in Gaza.In Gaza, the situation remains dire. Israeli forces are engaged in a complex military campaign, with efforts focused on ending the hostage crisis and dismantling Hamas’s operational infrastructure. The violence has led to widespread destruction, and there are ongoing concerns about civilian casualties and humanitarian access. The Israeli government reiterates its commitment to securing the safe return of all hostages and insists that its military actions are targeted and necessary for national security.International reactions are varied. The United States has reiterated its support for Israel's right to defend itself, with military assets, including twenty-five American refueling aircraft, expected to arrive in the region imminently. These deployments aim to bolster Israel’s defensive posture and signal regional stability support. There are also reports of heightened tensions within Iran, with unconfirmed claims circulating that the regime’s standing is weakening amid internal unrest and protests, though these reports remain unverified.Domestically, Israel faces mounting challenges. Civil defense authorities continue to urge civilians to follow safety protocols, especially in areas under threat of missile strikes. The public's resilience is tested once again, as exhaustion and grief from nearly two years of conflict weigh heavily on communities. Political leaders are being called upon to forge a broad national unity government to navigate this tumultuous period, emphasizing that internal divisions could undermine the nation’s security and recovery efforts.Internationally, Germany’s courts are preparing to deliver a verdict in a landmark case involving a Syrian doctor accused of torture and crimes against humanity committed during Bashar al-Assad’s regime. The trial highlights ongoing efforts to hold regime supporters accountable, with the possibility of a life sentence for the accused. The case underscores the global reach of justice for atrocities committed in Syria, even years after the conflict began.In other developments, reports from Iran remain unconfirmed but suggest internal unrest and possible regime instability, fueling hopes among some observers for a shift in the regional balance of power. Meanwhile, Israeli authorities continue to monitor and respond to threats, including intercepted aerial incursions and cyber activities. Security agencies are also alert to the dissemination of strategic information, with Israeli police investigating foreign media reports and live broadcasts that may reveal sensitive military locations, raising questions about information security and censorship.As the situation unfolds, the overarching challenge for Israel remains to protect its citizens, restore stability, and pursue diplomatic and military avenues to secure regional peace. The coming days will be crucial as leaders work to consolidate support and chart a course through this perilous chapter.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINESIran missile barrage devastates Israeli cities in night of chaosIsrael warns public amid rising border tensions and incursionsRegional unrest intensifies as Yemen and Iraq escalate attacksThe time is now 11:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.At 11:00 PM, Israel remains under intense security pressure following a large-scale missile barrage attributed to Iran. Multiple impact sites have been reported across the country, including Haifa, Tel Aviv, and Eilat. The attacks have caused significant damage to residential buildings and property, with rescue teams actively searching for survivors. Initial reports indicate at least three fatalities and around twenty injured, some in moderate condition. Emergency services are on high alert, and authorities have urged civilians to avoid areas of impact to allow rescue operations to proceed.The missile strikes are believed to have been launched from Iran, with some footage circulating showing the launches. The Israeli Defense Forces emphasize the importance of responsible sharing of information, warning that enemy forces monitor publicly available footage to enhance their attack capabilities. In response, the IDF has instructed the public to refrain from publishing locations and impact footage online.In Israel's northern regions, particularly near the borders, there have been alarmingly frequent sirens indicating incoming hostile aircraft and missiles, including in areas such as the Golan Heights and Jezreel Valley. An alert was also issued in the central region, including the city of Petah Tikva, where a missile hit a building, prompting emergency responses. The Home Front Command has authorized residents in several areas to leave protected spaces, as search and rescue operations continue across multiple locations.Internationally, the situation is further complicated by ongoing missile attacks from Yemen's Houthi rebels, who continue to launch drones and missiles at targets in the Arabian Peninsula, adding regional instability. Meanwhile, reports from Iraq show aerial activity linked to the current hostilities.Israeli authorities also report heightened tensions along the country's borders with neighboring states, including alerts of incursions and airspace violations. The military's intelligence assessments suggest that Iran's proxies are actively engaged, with the new Syrian government still consolidating power after Bashar al-Assad's recent political shifts, and Hezbollah suffering significant losses from recent Israeli military operations in Lebanon.The United States, under the current administration, maintains a stance of support for Israel's right to defend itself but continues to call for restraint and de-escalation. There are indications that the US is providing intelligence and logistical support, though official statements emphasize a measured approach to avoid broader regional conflict.In summary, Israel faces a night of significant security challenges, with ongoing missile threats, active rescue operations, and heightened military alertness. The country's leadership continues to respond decisively while urging civilians to stay safe and adhere to official guidance. The regional situation remains volatile, with international implications that could influence the course of the conflict moving forward.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINES1. Israel and Iran Clash in Historic Missile Exchange2. Lebanese Hezbollah Faces Decimation Amid Regional Turmoil3. US Veto Sparks Tensions Over Iran Israel EscalationThe time is now 10:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.At ten o'clock in the evening, the situation across Israel and the broader Middle East remains critically tense. Israel is currently engaged in a direct military confrontation with Iran, with reports of heavy missile exchanges and targeted strikes. Iranian missiles with heavy warheads have been fired toward Israeli territory, prompting the Israeli defense system to activate its shield of safe rooms and public shelters, which authorities affirm have been effective in saving most residents' lives during these attacks.In recent hours, Israel's military has responded vigorously. The Israeli Air Force has targeted multiple surface-to-surface missile launch sites, especially near nuclear facilities, as Tehran publicly dismisses any possibility of ceasefire negotiations. The conflict began escalating last Friday, with Israel conducting strikes that killed senior military figures and nuclear scientists, and damaging military bases, nuclear sites, and residential areas across the country. The current exchange has marked one of the most intense confrontations in recent history, with fears mounting of a protracted conflict that could draw in the entire region.Meanwhile, the ground situation remains volatile. Reports indicate that the Home Front Command has lifted restrictions on leaving protected spaces in several areas, as search and rescue teams operate across multiple locations to respond to fallen projectiles and missile impacts. Sirens have sounded across Israel, including in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and in the north near the border with Lebanon and Syria, where Israeli defenses intercepted aerial incursions. Specific incidents include a missile strike in the city of Bat Yam, which resulted in two fatalities, raising the death toll to nine, and approximately twenty injuries, some of them moderate.On the northern front, there have been alerts for hostile drone and aircraft activity, notably in areas like Rosh Hanikra and the Golan Heights. Unconfirmed reports suggest that Iranian-backed groups, including militias in Iraq, have launched additional missile volleys, including from Iraq itself, targeting northern and central Israel. The IDF has issued warnings about the enemy monitoring footage of hits, urging responsible sharing of information to prevent aiding adversaries.In Lebanon, Hezbollah has suffered significant losses at the hands of Israeli forces, with reports of their decimation and efforts by Lebanon to push them out of the country. In Gaza, Hamas remains degraded from previous conflicts, though the ongoing hostage situation continues to influence Israeli military and diplomatic strategies. Meanwhile, in Yemen, Houthi rebels continue missile and drone attacks, adding another layer of regional instability.Internationally, the United States under the Trump administration has called for Iran and Israel to "fight it out" before reaching a deal, with President Trump suggesting both sides might need to continue their military exchanges before negotiations can proceed. The US has also reportedly vetoed plans for targeted actions against Iran's leadership and emphasized the importance of responsible conduct in publicizing military targets, warning that enemy forces monitor such footage to improve their attack capabilities.Amid these hostilities, efforts to evacuate civilians and secure infrastructure are ongoing. The Israeli government urges citizens to stay away from zones of impact to facilitate emergency operations and prevent further casualties. As the night progresses, the region remains on high alert, with the potential for further escalation looming large. The international community watches closely, aware that this conflict’s trajectory could have profound consequences for regional stability and global security.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINESIsrael Targets Iran Nuclear Sites Amid Escalating WarMiddle East Tensions Rise as Regional Powers StruggleUS Supports Israel, Warns of Broader Regional InstabilityThe time is now 09:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.At nine o'clock in the evening, the situation across the Middle East remains tense and complex. Israel continues to face an intense exchange of missile and drone attacks with Iran, which has escalated into direct military confrontations. Israeli authorities report that their system of safe rooms and public shelters has been effective in protecting most residents amid these hostilities. Israel has targeted Iranian military sites, including a nuclear facility at Fordow, while defenses have been activated near other nuclear locations to prevent further escalation.In the broader regional context, countries such as Iraq and Jordan are striving to maintain neutrality despite the proliferation of missile and drone crossings over their skies, with debris landing in civilian areas. Israel has increased security in the West Bank, forming a new division— the Gilad Division— to bolster defenses against potential infiltration amid fears of Iranian-backed threats.Meanwhile, the conflict's international dimension continues to develop. President Donald Trump, before departing for the G7 summit in Canada, expressed hope for a ceasefire between Israel and Iran but indicated that the United States might support a period of fighting to reach a deal. Trump also revealed that he had vetoed an Israeli plan to target Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, fearing it could inflame the region further and destabilize the current nuclear negotiations.On the operational front, reports indicate that Israel conducted strikes on surface-to-surface missile sites and a nuclear site at Fordow, with air defenses remaining active near nuclear facilities as Tehran dismisses any possibility of ceasefire talks. An American defense system downed a suicide drone over Arbil, Iraq, while reports from Syria mention a woman killed when an Iranian drone crashed in her village.The United States maintains a stance of continued support for Israel, with officials refraining from calling for a pause in Israeli strikes, emphasizing the importance of defending regional stability. A senior American intelligence source has remarked that recent Mossad operations across Iran will be remembered as historically significant.Despite the ongoing conflict, regional nations are cautious to avoid direct involvement, even as the danger of wider escalation persists. The situation remains fluid, with the potential for prolonged hostilities that threaten the stability of the entire Middle East. We will continue to monitor these developments and provide updates as they unfold.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINES1. Israel Strikes Iran Nuclear Sites Amid Escalating War2. Iran Dismisses Ceasefire, War Risks Broader Regional Clash3. U.S. Calls for Iran-Israel Deal as Tensions MountThe time is now 08:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.At eight in the evening, tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate amid an intensifying conflict between Israel and Iran. Israel has launched a series of targeted strikes against Iranian military sites, including a significant attack on the Fordow nuclear facility. The Israeli Defense Forces have ordered the public to stay close to protected spaces, primarily in the northern and central regions, as air defenses remain active near sensitive sites. Reports indicate surface-to-surface missile sites in Iran are being struck, with ongoing efforts to neutralize remaining threats. Despite these military actions, Iran has refused to enter ceasefire negotiations, and Tehran has dismissed calls for peace, instead asserting that the current hostilities are necessary.Meanwhile, the Israeli military has increased security in the West Bank, forming a new division to prevent Iranian-backed infiltration. In Iraq and Jordan, regional nations are striving to maintain neutrality, even as debris from missile and drone exchanges lands in civilian areas. A drone believed to be Iranian-made was downed over Arbil by American air defenses, highlighting the regional spillover of the conflict.In Syria, reports confirm that a woman was killed in Tartus after a drone crash, likely Iranian in origin, highlighting the broader regional destabilization. Additionally, a high-ranking officer in Iran’s Revolutionary Guard was recently eliminated by a covert operation attributed to the Mossad, emphasizing the ongoing covert and overt confrontations.From a diplomatic perspective, US President Donald Trump has publicly called for Iran and Israel to "make a deal," yet he also suggested that they might need to "fight it out" before reaching an agreement. Trump reiterated support for Israel but declined to confirm whether the United States had instructed Israel to pause its airstrikes on Iran. Reports from US officials suggest that the White House viewed Israeli plans to assassinate Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei as potentially destabilizing, preferring to keep the focus on Iran’s nuclear program.Adding to the complexity, recent intelligence indicates that Israeli operations across Iran are significant enough to enter the annals of history, although the specifics of these actions remain classified. The Israeli military continues to target missile launch sites and activation points, while air defenses remain vigilant near nuclear sites such as Fordow, as Tehran dismisses any prospects for ceasefire talks.Meanwhile, the international community remains cautious. Regional powers like Iraq, Jordan, and Pakistan are trying to avoid direct involvement, expressing concern over the expanding conflict. Pakistan’s defense minister called for unity among the Muslim world and a severance of ties with Israel, framing the conflict within broader geopolitical and religious lines.In the United States, bipartisan voices examine the potential for regime change in Iran, with Senator Ted Cruz expressing the view that such a shift aligns with American interests. The global focus now centers on whether the hostilities will escalate into a broader regional war or if diplomatic channels can still open a path to de-escalation. This ongoing scenario underscores a volatile moment in the Middle East, where military actions, covert operations, and international diplomacy intersect, shaping the future stability of the region. We will continue to monitor developments and provide updates as they unfold.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
