0:00President Barack Obama. Virginia, we are counting on you. Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to raid the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years. But you can stop them by voting yes by April 21st. Help put our elections back on a level playing field and let voters decide not politicians. Vote yes by April 21st. Paid for by Virginians for fair elections. The time is now 5.02 a.m. in New York. I'm Noah Levi and this is the latest Israel today, ongoing war report. In Operation Lion's Raw, IDF Chief of Staff Isles Amia conducted several visits to Air Force and intelligence bases to conduct a formal debriefing and lessons learned process following the conclusion of Operation Rising Lion in June. The IDF said a renewed

1:00operational planning cycle for a potential new campaign against Iran's terror regime is underway, built on the operational achievements and shortcomings identified during Operation Rising Lion, with an emphasis on sharpening readiness for future escalation on the Iranian front. On Tuesday, Zamiya visited Hatsurim Air Base with the commander of the Israeli Air Force, Major General Toma Bar, the Hatsurim Air Base Commander Brigadier General R, and other commanders, to assess the scale of readiness ahead of Operation, roaring Lion, with dozens of briefings and operational discussions forming part of the process. In direct Israeli-run clashes, the block centers on a statement from the IDF spokesperson in Arabic. When the Lion Raw's history silences the tyrant's illusions, in Iranian retaliation, Iranian top officials vowed Sunday to avenge their slain supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and declared a new wave of strikes on U.S. bases in the Gulf, defying President Donald Trump's threat of an unprecedented

2:02escalation in force. As crowds gathered in Tehran, explosions rang out and the Israeli military announced that it was again striking targets in the heart of the city. With more blasts heard in Jerusalem, Riyadh, Dubai, Doha and Manama, Iran's President Masaud Peseshkyin called Khamenei's killing a declaration of war and pledged retaliation. While Ali Larajani warned that Iran will teach an unforgettable lesson to international oppressors, separately Iranian ballistic missiles launched towards Cyprus landed in the sea. In U.S. military role, having dropped about 1,200 bombs on Iran, the IDF and the U.S. Air Force are described as close to achieving air supremacy over Iranian airspace, a development that would enhance both nation's ability to target a wider range of targets and to support anti-Rajim protesters. As of 1015M Sunday, the Air Force carried out its first major wave attacking Iranian regime targets in Tehran. Previously, strikes were limited to targeting

3:02the Supreme Leader and anti-aircraft defences and to missile launchers. In regional impacts, stand-up comedian Daniel Chen's home in Central Israel was hit directly during Iran's missile barrage, with Chen describing a sudden loud blast taking shelter, helping others and witnessing injuries in the chaos. Airspace across the Middle East remained largely closed or severely restricted. With Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Israel, Bahrain, the UAE and Qatar largely empty, Iran's cancelled or suspended flights across the region as airspace remained restricted, including Greece's largest carrier halting flights to Tel Aviv, Beirut and Erbil through March 2, and canceling other Middle East services through March 3. The airline also paused Canada, Israel and Dubai routes. Air France cancelled flights to Tel Aviv and Beirut, and KLM adjusted schedules as carriers re-evaluated operations amid the closures. In the conflict with Iran and its regional proxies, Israel conducted airstrikes on Iran-back terrorists in Da'ayala, Iraq. In uplifting news,

4:05Atara, who identifies as the mother of Bose, describes founding nearer Bows, a social space for children that offers after-school Torah study, social activities, play and a library born from the loss of Bose, a commando who was killed in Yehuda's defence. The space has quickly become small for growing demand, and donations are requested to help more children join. The message emphasises that no child should be left alone this Purim season.
