The time is now 8.04 a.m. in New York, I'm Noah Levi and this is the latest Israel today, ongoing war report. In direct Israeli-Ran clashes, Israeli Air Force aircraft attacked and neutralized a cell from Iran's defense apparatus as it tried to activate anti-attack systems against Israeli troops. The Air Force also pressed its campaign against Iranian fire control sites and ballistic

In Iranian retaliation, after the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Grand Ayatollah Hossein Nari Hamdani and Grand Ayatollah Nasir Makim Sharazi issued Fatwa's urging Muslims worldwide to seek revenge. Hamdani wrote that avenging the martyr's blood is obligatory for all Muslims, and warned that criminal America and the bloodthirsty Zionists have reached the end of their path. Sharazi described Israel and the United States as the most wicked enemies of humanity, and said the people of Iran and the Islamic world are the avengers of the martyred leaders blood. Adding that seeking revenge is a religious duty. In US military role, analysts say the central question is whether sustained pressure from the United States and Israel can provoke internal strain in Iran and weaken its deterrence or even trigger political collapse. While air campaigns can destroy command, control networks and arsenals, there is no precedent for regime change through air power alone. Since late February, waves of strikes have targeted Iranian command nodes, missile infrastructure

In regional impacts, more than 300 people have fled Iran via Azerbaijan as US and Israeli strikes continue. A total of 312 evacuees have crossed since February 28, including 101 Azerbaijanis and others from 19 countries, with movement tracked through March 2. Russia's embassy in Baku said about 500 Russian nationals were preparing to evacuate via the Estara crossing, with 39 already crossing. Britain's foreign secretary said her team is examining options, including evacuation for hundreds of thousands of UK citizens in Gulf states. There are also reports that Saudi Arabia could respond militarily to Iran's strikes on oil facilities, and that Qatar halted natural gas extraction in response to the weekend attacks. An opinion peace argues that Damascus's plan to absorb swader could redraw Israel's northern frontier, while warning that any such move would require countering local proxies

In US policy concerning Israel, US lawmakers are preparing for a war powers, showed on as Trump's Iran campaign escalates, with bombs already dropping and American troops reported killed. The debate centers on congress votes over the president's authority to strike Iran, as Operation Epic Fury expands, and a prolonged air and naval campaign looms. In Israeli economy and business, India's quiet role in Israel's labour reset after October 7 is highlighted as construction needs shifted post-attack. The collapse of cross-border Palestinian labour, and the signing of closer bilateral ties with India, highlighted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit, have brought Indian construction workers into Israel's water economy, signaling a structural shift in how Israel sources labour and manages risk.
