HEADLINESIran Threatens Midnight Missile Strikes, Israel RespondsIsrael Eases Civil Restrictions Amid Escalating AttacksGlobal Powers Call for Iran Diplomacy as Tensions RiseThe time is now 07:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.At 7:00 PM, the situation in the region remains highly tense and volatile. Reports indicate that Iran’s military capabilities continue to operate at a heightened state, with the Revolutionary Guard asserting that their operations against Israeli targets will persist through the night, explicitly stating they will not allow Israel to enjoy peace or stability. Iran’s missile launches, although limited in recent hours, still pose a significant threat, with reports of several cruise missiles intercepted by Israeli defenses. One missile debris was reported to have impacted an open area in southern Israel, and there was a malfunction of an Israeli interceptor missile in central Israel, which likely failed to detonate. Israel’s military and civil authorities have responded swiftly to the ongoing threat. The IDF announced that, following a recent situational assessment, it is now permitted for civilians across the country to leave bomb shelters and protected spaces, indicating a temporary easing of restrictions amid the ongoing missile exchanges. Emergency services report no initial casualties or injuries, despite the firing of a small number of missiles—primarily cruise missiles—by Iran. In the Negev, there was a reported impact in an open area, with unconfirmed reports of a fire caused by falling military debris. The escalation involves not just missile strikes but also targeted attacks by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard on bases from which recent assaults originated, including alleged attacks on Iranian military facilities and the site of a missile attack on the Israeli Broadcasting Authority building. Israeli defenses have intercepted most incoming projectiles, but debris from intercepted missiles has caused some damage and fires in open areas. Meanwhile, in the political arena, international diplomacy continues. France, the United Kingdom, and Germany have issued a joint call to Iran, urging a return to negotiations without preconditions to prevent regional escalation. Conversely, former US President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning, calling for the immediate evacuation of Tehran, criticizing Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and expressing frustration over missed opportunities for diplomatic agreements. The current US administration has also increased military readiness, with the Defense Secretary announcing additional deployment of defense capabilities to the Middle East, including the movement of aircraft and a carrier strike group, signaling a firm stance against Iran’s recent missile activities.The overall atmosphere remains one of alertness. Israeli authorities emphasize the importance of strict adherence to safety protocols, with ongoing advisories urging the public to remain in protected areas until further notice. The regional dynamics are complex, with Iran’s military posture sharply escalated and Israel mobilizing its defenses, while international actors call for de-escalation and renewed diplomatic efforts. The night promises to be critical as the region watches closely for any further developments.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

Over the past four days, Israel and Iran have engaged in a deadly exchange of fire, with both sides suffering significant casualties and widespread damage. Israel reports that its military has struck multiple Iranian military and nuclear sites, aiming to dismantle Iran's nuclear and missile capabilities. Iran, in turn, has responded with barrages of missiles and drones targeting Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv and Be’er Sheva, with sirens sounding across central and southern regions. Most of these Iranian missiles have been intercepted, and no injuries have been officially reported from these attacks.Israeli military sources state that their air defenses have achieved full air superiority over Tehran, destroying a third of Iran’s surface-to-surface missile launchers in recent strikes. Meanwhile, Iran’s forces have targeted strategic sites within Israel, including a major oil refinery in Haifa, which sustained heavy damage and was subsequently shut down, resulting in three fatalities. The Israeli Air Force conducted a first-ever strike deep into Iran, targeting military and nuclear infrastructure, with pilots describing Iranian pilots fleeing upon encountering Israeli jets.Diplomatically, world leaders are calling for de-escalation. China has urged Iran and Israel to reduce tensions immediately. Turkish President Erdogan has offered to mediate, while British Prime Minister Starmer noted a consensus among G7 nations to seek calm. US officials, including President Trump, have emphasized the importance of dialogue, with Trump suggesting Iran would be wise to negotiate before further escalation. The United States under the current administration continues diplomatic efforts, emphasizing support for Israel's right to defend itself.Within Iran, reports indicate internal unrest, including unconfirmed reports of explosions in Tehran and a possible prison break amid signs of internal chaos. Iranian leadership remains defiant, with Supreme Leader Khamenei declaring that victory against Israel is near, claiming that with divine help, Iran will defeat the Zionist entity. Iran’s state media has attempted to manipulate narrative images, including using ancient Zoroastrian symbols to appeal domestically, amid suppression of Iranian identity and cultural expressions.On the ground in Israel, residents have been advised to stay in protected areas due to ongoing missile threats. The Home Front Command has lifted some restrictions, allowing civilians to exit shelters, but security remains tight. The Israeli military continues to monitor and respond to threats, including reports of drone infiltrations from Iran and attempted attacks via unmanned aerial vehicles in the Golan Heights, which were intercepted.In a related development, Israeli drones have reportedly been operating within Iran, attacking targets and creating new threats, including the destruction of long-range air defense systems and the destruction of several Israeli F-35 fighter jets.

HEADLINESIsraeli Strikes Target Iran Amid Escalating ConflictIran Declares Victory as Regional Tensions SurgeUS Mobilizes Forces to Middle East CrisisThe time is now 05:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.Tonight, in a significant escalation of the ongoing conflict, Israel reports a series of military actions targeting Iranian-backed forces and infrastructure across the region. Earlier today, Israeli fighter jets launched strikes against Iran’s third air defense system near the border with Syria, in what the military describes as a response to recent aggression. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s system was reportedly damaged, and Iran’s state media claim three personnel were killed in the attack. Meanwhile, Iran’s leadership continues to issue defiant statements, with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei declaring that with divine help, victory is near and promising that the Islamic Republic will prevail over what he terms the Zionist entity.Across the Golan Heights, Israeli defenses intercepted a drone infiltrating from Syria, as over a hundred drones are believed to be en route from Iran as part of a coordinated assault. The military has issued alerts for the south of Israel, particularly in the Golan region, where recent reports indicate multiple incursions and an increased threat level. The Israeli Home Front Command has urged residents to seek shelter upon receiving alerts, emphasizing the importance of vigilance in these tense times.In a further indication of regional tension, reports from Iranian sources speak of multiple explosions in Tehran, with unconfirmed claims of attacks on a refinery and the destruction of a long-range air defense system. Iran’s media has also claimed that four Israeli F-35 fighters were destroyed, though these reports are yet to be independently verified and are widely considered propaganda. Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, has reiterated his stance that victory is imminent, calling for perseverance and divine support.Meanwhile, the United States appears to be mobilizing forces in the Middle East, with over thirty-one refueling aircraft and the aircraft carrier Nimitz heading towards the region, sparking speculation about possible involvement. The US State Department continues to deny direct participation, emphasizing a primarily defensive posture, but Iranian officials accuse Washington of supporting Israeli actions and hint at a broader regional confrontation.In Israel, the situation remains volatile. In the southern city of Beersheba, an IDF reservist was killed by an improvised explosive device during operations in Gaza. The military has confirmed the incident and is investigating. Additionally, a significant missile attack on a power plant in Be’er Sheva resulted in casualties and damage, with the plant temporarily shut down. Several families in the city of Petah Tikva, which was directly hit by a missile earlier today, have been evacuated to shelters and hotels due to the danger posed by ongoing strikes.In the northern city of Haifa, foreign journalists covering the conflict have been restricted from broadcasting following the live broadcast of a power plant burning after an Iranian missile attack, with police reportedly raiding an apartment where journalists were filming. This move reflects heightened security measures amid increased tensions and attempts to control information flow.Iran’s internal situation is also tense. Reports emerged of riots and prison breaks following alleged Israeli airstrikes on detention facilities in Tehran. Unverified footage circulating online shows prisoners escaping from a damaged prison, fueling fears of internal instability. Iranian authorities deny involvement in any internal unrest, but reports suggest that some prisoners have seized the opportunity to escape amid the chaos.Additionally, Iran’s top officials continue their inflammatory rhetoric, with Khamenei vowing that victory is near and promising to defeat Israel, while the Iranian foreign minister claims that a single phone call from the United States could end the conflict and bring Iran back to diplomacy. US President Donald Trump, speaking at the G7, indicated that Iran seeks dialogue but warned that Iran’s continued aggression risks broader conflict, as the US mobilizes significant military resources in the region.In related developments, the Israeli government has issued updated instructions for civilians, including guidance on entering shelters when alarms sound, and has confirmed that all energy facilities damaged in recent strikes have been temporarily shut down. Meanwhile, Iran’s state-controlled media has not broadcast its regular nine o’clock news bulletin for the first time in over four decades, a sign of internal disruption.Tonight’s events underscore the precarious state of regional stability, with military exchanges, threats, and internal unrest all converging amid fears of a broader escalation. Israel remains on high alert, defending its borders against multiple threats, while the international community watches closely as tensions threaten to spill over into wider conflict.

HEADLINES1. Israel Strikes Iran Missile Sites in Rapid Fire2. Iran Media Halt Broadcasts Amid Escalating Conflict3. US Deploys Nimitz as Middle East Tensions SurgeThe time is now 04:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.At four in the afternoon, the situation across the Middle East remains tense and complex, with significant developments on multiple fronts. Israel continues its military operations against Iran and its proxies, emphasizing its focus on disrupting Iran's military capabilities. Reports indicate that Israeli airstrikes have targeted surface-to-surface missile infrastructure in western Iran, aiming to diminish Iran’s missile arsenals and military readiness.Meanwhile, the Israeli Air Force has demonstrated notable operational success, reportedly destroying over one hundred Iranian launchers in just half an hour—an achievement highlighting its technological edge, extensive training, and integration of intelligence and cyber capabilities. Experts agree that Israel’s swift, precise strikes exemplify the importance of strategic clarity and resolve, contrasting sharply with the often less decisive approaches seen elsewhere.On the ground, Israeli forces have suffered casualties, including the death of Captain Tal Movshovitz, a deputy company commander in the Golani Brigade, who was killed by an explosive device during operations in Gaza. Additionally, a senior reserve officer was reported killed in a Gaza blast, and several soldiers were wounded in an ambush during fighting in the southern part of the strip. An IDF reservist also lost his life in a separate incident involving an explosive planted inside a building in Khan Younis.The conflict has also extended into the skies, with multiple unidentified drones launched at Israel, likely originating from Iran, intercepted and shot down over the Golan Heights and southern regions. Sirens and red alerts have sounded repeatedly in northern and southern territories, including the Golan and the Negev, as Israel takes measures to protect its borders.Internationally, diplomatic efforts are ongoing but fraught with uncertainty. Russia has engaged in calls with Iran, warning of the regime’s vulnerability and urging expedited negotiations, including potential ceasefire proposals involving Iran’s nuclear program. The United States, meanwhile, has dispatched a significant number of refueling aircraft and an aircraft carrier, the Nimitz, to the Middle East, fueling speculation about possible direct involvement, despite official US denials of participation in hostilities. President Trump has suggested that Iran seeks de-escalation and that negotiations might resume, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains skeptical, accusing Iran of only feigning interest in peace while continuing to develop nuclear weapons and missile capabilities.Amid these tensions, Iran’s state-controlled media reported that the regime’s television broadcasts were abruptly halted for the first time in over four decades, signifying the severity of the current conflict’s impact on Iran’s internal communications and morale. Iranian officials and media outlets are also spreading disinformation, attempting to sow panic among their population by falsely claiming large-scale missile launches and military upheavals.In Israel, the Home Front Command has issued warnings about false alarms and cyberattacks, with Iranian hackers reportedly sending fake messages to Israeli civilians, posing as official authorities to create confusion and fear. The Israeli Defense Forces' Arabic and Persian spokesmen have shared visual updates depicting what they describe as a “chess match” with Iran, symbolizing the ongoing strategic contest, with only the "king" remaining—yet uncertain of how long it can survive.Regional diplomacy sees Turkey offering to mediate a ceasefire, and Gulf nations like Saudi Arabia proposing negotiations that include Iran’s nuclear program, aiming to prevent the conflict from spreading further across the Middle East. Nonetheless, the overall security situation remains volatile, with intermittent alerts, skirmishes, and continued missile and drone activity from Iran-backed groups in Yemen and Lebanon.The United States’ stance continues to be one of cautious support, with officials indicating readiness to escalate involvement if American interests are directly threatened. This posture is underscored by the deployment of advanced military assets and ongoing high-level communications with regional and global partners.As the day draws on, Israel’s efforts to neutralize threats and weaken Iran’s military infrastructure persist, while international actors seek pathways to de-escalate the conflict. The broader picture remains uncertain, with strategic calculations, regional alliances, and the resolve of leadership on all sides shaping the trajectory of this ongoing confrontation.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

Global leaders debate de-escalation amid rising tensionsThe time is now 03:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.At three o'clock in the afternoon, Israel remains in a state of heightened alert amid ongoing hostilities with Iran and its proxies. Reports indicate that the Israeli Defense Forces are actively working to intercept a significant missile threat from Iran, with intelligence suggesting a potentially larger ballistic missile launch than any previous wave. Authorities have issued warnings to the public to stay close to protected spaces, and the military continues its efforts to thwart the incoming threat.In recent developments, the Israeli Air Force carried out targeted strikes at key Iranian military assets. Notably, aircraft and drone activity in Tehran was met with precision Israeli airstrikes, including the destruction of two Iranian F-14 fighter jets at an airport in the capital, along with strikes on Iranian soldiers preparing drone launches and storage facilities. Additional reports confirm that parts of a missile landed in Safed, in northern Israel, from Iran’s latest barrage, though no casualties have been reported.The Israel Defense Forces also intercepted and destroyed Iranian military vehicles, including a supply convoy equipped with air defense systems, and targeted a number of Iranian sites across the region. Meanwhile, the IDF has expanded its operational scope to prevent further aggression, with special emphasis on neutralizing missile launch preparations and infrastructure.Amid these military actions, Israel’s security agencies have issued multiple alerts. The Home Front Command has instructed residents in various regions to remain near protected spaces, with some areas experiencing increased public turnout in shelters. The military emphasizes that these measures are precautionary, as the threat of further missile and drone attacks persists.In the political arena, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a live statement, reaffirming Israel’s resolve to counter Iran’s nuclear ambitions and terrorist activities. He emphasized that Israel’s actions aim to end Iran’s regime-driven threat, describing recent operations as part of a deliberate strategic effort. Netanyahu also responded to reports suggesting that the United States' previous hesitation to target Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, could have prolonged the conflict, asserting that eliminating Iran’s top leadership would bring an end to decades of regional turmoil.Internationally, the G7 leaders convened in Canada to discuss escalating tensions, with US President Donald Trump calling Iran to re-engage in negotiations and warning against delaying diplomacy. The summit saw a strong consensus on the need for de-escalation and firm deterrence, though differing views persisted. Japan condemned Israel’s military actions while stressing the importance of avoiding further escalation.Meanwhile, Iran’s government and military continue to assert their right to defend themselves, claiming that recent Israeli strikes are acts of self-defense under international law. Tehran’s state media reports suggest that Iranian military readiness remains high, and the Iranian Army has issued warnings about retaliatory measures.Back home, the public’s response to the crisis has shown increased participation in shelters and protective measures. Israeli authorities have reinforced instructions to stay in secure areas, and ongoing operations aim to prevent major missile launches. The situation remains dynamic, with the potential for further escalations as both sides prepare for possible future engagements.In summary, Israel’s military actions are part of a broader effort to weaken Iran’s military capabilities and deter regional aggression. The current hostilities reflect a complex and volatile conflict, with significant international implications, and Israel continues to prioritize its national security amid an environment of uncertainty and threat.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINES1. Israel Launches Bold Strikes Against Iran’s Military2. Iran Threatens US Targets Amid Escalating Conflict3. Israel Destroys Iran’s Nuclear Archive in Covert AttackThe time is now 02:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.At this hour, the situation across the Middle East remains highly volatile, with Israel engaged in a significant escalation of its conflict with Iran and its proxies. Israeli defense forces report ongoing missile alerts following a barrage of Iranian ballistic missile attacks targeting key cities, including Tel Aviv and Haifa. Reports indicate at least eight fatalities and nearly 300 injuries, with damage to homes, infrastructure, and even the US embassy in Tel Aviv. The Israeli military has responded with targeted airstrikes, destroying Iranian fighter jets at Tehran’s airports and conducting strikes on Iranian military positions and drone storage facilities. The Israeli Air Force has also reportedly intercepted and destroyed multiple Iranian drones and missiles launched towards Israeli territory, which is now under a heightened state of alert and in close proximity to reinforced shelters.Meanwhile, Iran’s military has claimed that its missile strikes are acts of self-defense, warning that if assistance to Israel continues, the conflict could escalate further, threatening regional stability. Iranian officials have also threatened to target US military assets in the region, as the United States has deployed fighter jets, naval ships, and missile defenses to boost Israel’s security. The US military presence has increased, with aircraft carriers and destroyers repositioned in strategic locations, and Patriot missile batteries activated to intercept incoming threats.On the diplomatic front, European foreign ministers from France, Germany, and the United Kingdom are reportedly in contact with Iran’s foreign minister amid ongoing hostilities, raising concerns over potential spillover effects. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly stated that eliminating Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, remains on the table, emphasizing that such a move could bring an end to Iran’s destabilizing efforts rather than escalate the conflict. Netanyahu also dismissed reports suggesting Iran seeks negotiations, asserting that Iran aims to continue its nuclear and missile programs while engaging in superficial talks.Israeli intelligence and military sources warn that Iran’s ballistic missile arsenal, which has launched hundreds of projectiles over recent days, may be depleted and that Iran’s ability to sustain such attacks is diminishing, although the threat remains serious. Israeli officials also indicate that the recent attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities, including Natanz and Isfahan, have caused substantial damage, with some reports suggesting the destruction of thousands of advanced centrifuges and damage to nuclear scientists and infrastructure.The ongoing hostilities have also affected civilian life in Israel, with widespread missile warnings prompting millions to seek shelter. The Israeli government has issued advisories for citizens to remain close to protected spaces, as additional missile waves are anticipated. The conflict has prompted international concern, with reports of heightened diplomatic contacts and warnings from Iran of broader regional escalation if Israel continues its offensive.In a significant development, reports indicate that Israel conducted a covert operation to destroy the last remaining backup of Iran’s nuclear archive, which contained extensive organizational knowledge of Iran’s nuclear program, further crippling Tehran’s strategic capabilities. This move underscores Israel’s broader objective to prevent Iran from rebuilding its nuclear potential and to deter future aggression.As the fighting continues, the United States has reaffirmed its support for Israel, with military assets operating in the region to intercept Iranian missiles and protect American personnel. The global community watches closely as the region braces for what could be a prolonged and intense confrontation, with the potential for wider regional destabilization if de-escalation efforts do not materialize soon. This is a developing situation, and authorities urge the public to heed emergency instructions, remain vigilant, and stay close to secure shelters as the conflict persists. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINES1. Iran Launches Devastating Missiles on Israeli Cities2. Israel Strikes Tehran as Tensions Surge Worldwide3. Israel Prepares Rescue Flights Amid Escalating WarThe time is now 01:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.Today, the Israeli-Hamas conflict has entered its fourth day, with hostilities intensifying on multiple fronts. Israeli forces launched targeted strikes across Iran and its proxies, aiming to neutralize military infrastructure and deter further aggression. In response, Iran has continued its barrage of missile and drone attacks against Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv, Haifa, and northern regions, resulting in casualties and widespread damage.Earlier this morning, Iran launched a significant missile assault on central Israel, killing at least four elderly civilians and injuring 87 others. The attack also caused extensive damage to power grids and residential structures, notably in Petah Tikva near Tel Aviv. The Israeli Electric Corporation reported substantial damage to electrical infrastructure, with teams working to restore safety and power.The Israeli military responded swiftly, striking the Iranian state broadcasting building and military command centers in Tehran, including targets associated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The IDF claimed to have achieved air superiority over Tehran following a wave of precise air raids, destroying a third of Iran's missile launchers and damaging key military sites.Meanwhile, Iran's media outlets and military officials have threatened further retaliation, warning of a "large and violent missile attack" on Israel. Iranian state television has issued evacuation advisories for studios and key infrastructure, amid reports of Iranian military casualties and destruction of their media facilities. Notably, Iranian officials claim that several IRIB personnel were killed in the recent strikes.Internationally, the crisis has garnered high-level attention. G7 leaders are prioritizing efforts to prevent further escalation, with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasizing the importance of de-escalation and diplomacy. US President Donald Trump has expressed hope for a diplomatic resolution, while also acknowledging the complex situation and urging Iran to return to negotiations, particularly regarding its nuclear program. Trump also confirmed that Iran has sent messages indicating willingness to discuss a ceasefire, provided the United States refrains from participating in Israeli military actions.Amidst the ongoing hostilities, Israel is actively organizing rescue flights for its citizens stranded abroad. El Al and other airlines are preparing limited rescue operations from major European and US cities, with thousands of Israelis signing up for evacuation. The Israeli government has warned that it may take weeks to fully repatriate all stranded citizens due to security concerns and logistical challenges.On the security front, Israel reports intercepting several incoming Iranian missile threats, with the Israeli Air Force deploying defenses to protect northern and southern regions. The recent escalation also includes reports of Israeli aircraft targeting Iranian military sites, including a suspected UAV launch in the Golan Heights and an attack on a military base near Isfahan.Amid these developments, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not ruled out the possibility of targeting Iran’s senior leadership, including the possibility of eliminating Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, if deemed necessary for national security.The situation remains volatile, with both sides suffering significant losses. Iran reports over 220 deaths, while Israeli casualties have surpassed twenty. The international community continues to call for restraint, but the likelihood of prolonged conflict persists as both nations prepare for further military and diplomatic actions.This is the latest update on the escalating Israel-Iran conflict, reflecting a tense and dangerous period in the Middle East. We will continue to monitor and report on developments 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 Tensions2. U.S. Deploys Navy as Iran Threatens Retaliation3. Iran Warns of Missile Attacks After Israeli BombingsThe time is now 12:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.At noon, the situation in the Middle East remains highly tense and rapidly evolving amid ongoing Israeli military operations and regional hostilities. Israel reports that it intercepted an aerial target over the southern Golan Heights suspected to be a hostile unmanned aircraft, prompting defensive measures in the area. In response to infiltrations by unidentified aircraft, the Israeli Air Force has carried out targeted interceptions, with multiple alerts issued for southern Golan communities.Simultaneously, Israel has launched airstrikes targeting Iranian military and nuclear sites in Iran itself. The Israeli military confirmed destroying the headquarters of Iran's state broadcaster, IRIB, in Tehran during a live broadcast, causing a significant explosion and damage to the facility. Reports indicate that several Iranian journalists and officials were killed in the strike, which also led to Iranian threats of retaliation, including warnings of further targeted operations. Iranian state media broadcast warnings that they might attack Israeli media outlets in response.The Iranian regime has also issued evacuation advisories for its broadcasting studios, including channels affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, amid fears of further Israeli strikes. Iran's television has cut all public internet access, a move widely interpreted as an attempt to prevent unrest and control information flow. In Tehran, surveillance footage shows the aftermath of the IRIB attack, with significant structural damage evident.On the military front, Israel reports that it has shot down a hostile drone over the northern Golan as part of a series of recent aerial threats. The Israeli Defense Forces also confirmed a missile strike on a Hezbollah position in Lebanon, and reports suggest that the Lebanese government is actively attempting to expel Hezbollah forces from southern Lebanon.In the broader regional context, Iran's leadership has sent "urgent" diplomatic messages to the United States and Arab nations, indicating a willingness to negotiate and potentially limit nuclear activities if hostilities cease. Iran's foreign minister emphasized that Tehran has not initiated the current conflict but is prepared to defend itself fiercely, warning of expanded missile strikes if Israel persists.Meanwhile, the United States has redeployed significant naval forces to the Middle East, including the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz, which recently left Southeast Asia for the region amid reports it is headed toward the Middle East to bolster American military presence. The US has also issued warnings about potential escalation, with reports of an Iranian missile strike on the city of Haifa resulting in casualties, and US officials acknowledging that Iran may be considering further nuclear concessions in exchange for de-escalation.Amid these hostilities, Israel is managing a large-scale effort to evacuate over 100,000 citizens stranded abroad due to the closure of Ben Gurion Airport. The Israeli government is prioritizing military and essential personnel flights while urging caution among travelers.Internationally, diplomatic tensions are rising. France has postponed a planned conference on Palestinian statehood, citing security concerns, while Israel's ambassador to the United Nations has called for the global body to focus on Iran's nuclear threats rather than Palestinian issues. The US and Israeli governments continue to monitor the situation closely, emphasizing the importance of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and urging regional stability.In summary, the region is witnessing a surge of military actions, diplomatic exchanges, and strategic moves, with Israel confronting Iranian-backed forces and Iran signaling openness to negotiations under certain conditions. The coming hours will be critical as the international community urges de-escalation, but the prospects for a swift resolution remain uncertain.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINES1. Iran’s Bases Targeted Amid Rising Middle East Tensions2. Israel Eliminates 30 Iranian Officials in Strikes3. Iran Hints at Ceasefire, but Region Remains ExplosiveThe time is now 11:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.At eleven o'clock in the morning, we begin with a rapidly escalating situation across the Middle East. Israel has reported a new infiltration attempt by hostile aerial vehicles over southern Golan, near Ramat Magshimim, prompting an immediate warning for residents to enter secure shelters. The incident occurred at 6 p.m. yesterday, with radar systems detecting the threat, and the alert was issued in red.Meanwhile, in Iran, a series of intense events are unfolding. Early reports indicate that Tehran's military bases have come under attack, with a significant strike on a missile installation in the capital. Israeli forces are also believed to have targeted a convoy of ballistic missiles along the main highway connecting Tehran to Qom, further raising tensions. In response, Iranian authorities have issued a stark warning to the residents of Tehran’s District 3, a prominent business hub with many government offices and foreign embassies, urging immediate evacuation. The Israeli military has ordered residents in this district to leave for their safety, warning of imminent strikes on military infrastructure.In a development that adds complexity to the regional crisis, Iran has reportedly conveyed through Arab mediators that it is open to negotiating a ceasefire, provided that Israel and the United States refrain from participation in ongoing hostilities. This message, relayed via diplomatic channels, suggests a possible shift in Iran’s stance, though its sincerity remains uncertain amid ongoing missile exchanges and military actions.Israel’s military actions have expanded beyond Iran’s borders. In recent days, Israeli forces claimed to have successfully eliminated over thirty Iranian military officials involved in nuclear and missile programs, while Israeli airstrikes targeted key sites in Iran, including a missile manufacturing facility near Isfahan that sustained heavy damage. The Israeli government emphasizes that these measures are necessary for national security, citing ongoing threats from Iran’s nuclear ambitions and missile proliferation.Across the border in Lebanon, the situation remains tense. The Lebanese government has publicly condemned Hezbollah’s recent military engagements with Israel, accusing the group of unnecessary provocation that could destabilize the region.
