1:08The time is now 7.03 a.m. in New York. I'm Noah Levi and this is the latest Israel today, ongoing war report. In Operation Lion's Raw, reports indicate Israel conducted a heavy series of strikes against regime forces in Tehran with claims of hundreds of bombs dropped in a short period. The Israeli military says it targeted Tehran's main intelligence ministry headquarters, killing at least two senior officials. Said Yahya Hamidi, deputy minister of intelligence for Israel Affairs and Jalil Pohosin, head of the espionage division. The military adds that additional senior figures were killed and describes them as Iranian regime operatives, who work to advance attacks around the world and repress Iranian opponents, including during recent protests. Separate accounts in the same block also reference damage connected to Tehran, including claims Israel is destroying main court houses. The collection of reports points to a significant escalation in the confrontation with Iran and potential, broader regional consequences.

2:10In US military role, analysts say the expanding joint operations against Iran raised two possible end states. Tehran could fracture under sustained pressure, or it could endure but be left weaker for years. Experts note there is no precedent for regime change through air campaigns, and that leadership losses and disrupted communications can influence internal dynamics. But a political collapse inside Iran is not guaranteed. Since February 28, when Washington launched Operation Epic Fury and Israel began Operation roaring lion, strikes are focused on Iranian command nodes, missile infrastructure and other strategic targets. Separately, Iran's Natanz nuclear facility has been mentioned as a target. Though the UN nuclear watchdog says there is no evidence that nuclear facilities were damaged. In other developments, a US F-15 fighter jet was downed in a friendly fire incident over Q-8. One pilot ejected and survived, with initial reports prompting celebration from Iran linked outlets.

3:11In regional impacts, Greece says two frigates of the Hellenic Navy, including the Kim and class H.S. Kimmon, F-601. We'll be deployed to Cyprus along with several F-16 fighters, in response to drone attacks attributed to Iran against Cyprus. The Cypriot National Guard orders evacuations across the Akhriteri Municipal District, and at Paphos Airport after Iranian. One way attack drones were shot down while approaching Cyprus in the Eastern Mediterranean. In the conflict with Iran and its regional proxies, laser defense technology is examined, notably Israel's iron beam system. The analysis notes that lasers developed by Israel, the US and other nations, are becoming more practical for military use, with mobile units and engagement ranges of around 10 kilometers, offering a cheaper alternative to traditional interceptors against threats such as inexpensive drones. The piece also references public discussion sparked by videos claiming laser interceptions of missiles. In another development,

4:13security officials are evaluating plans to significantly expand offensive activity in the Lebanon Theatre in the near term. In US policy concerning Israel, President Trump argues that Iran desperately wants a deal, and says they should have accepted one a week earlier, stating, Iran wants a deal and that they should have concluded it sooner. In Israeli domestic politics, the High Court of Justice issues a pointed update amid Iran-related tensions, saying the state's plan for enforcing herady draft duties does not satisfy the court's demands for a fuller update. A five justice panel notes the hearing was cancelled due to pressing times, and orders the state to file a more complete report by March 22, stressing the growing need to enforce military enlistment in these circumstances. In Israeli economy and business, a piece discusses artificial intelligence as a significant emerging factor in business and social contexts. Separately, the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange posts sharp gains as investors express confidence in Israel's economy. Thank you for tuning into this Israel today,
