About this episode
Qatar protests Iran strikes on Hamad Airport
US launches first long-range precision strike
Israel and Qatar align against Iran
The time is now 2:02 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Qatar's prime minister and foreign minister said that evidence on the ground disproved Iran’s claim that Doha was not targeted and denounced the strikes as a flagrant violation of Qatar’s sovereignty and international law, pointing to attacks that hit Hamad International Airport, civilian areas, vital infrastructure and industrial zones, with missiles, drones and Iranian fighter jets entering Qatari airspace and two Iranian Su-24 fighters shot down earlier in the week. A live briefing from an Israeli Defense Forces spokesperson described the broader campaign, including the winged-attack operation known as Wings of the Lion, with about 110,000 Israelis stranded abroad to be brought home, and noted that Iran’s missile force appears to be weakening even as Tehran may seek to sustain the tempo of strikes. The air force chief’s letter to regular and reserve personnel indicated that fighters from the Air Force’s special units are carrying out extraordinary missions that could ignite the imagination, and that ground commandos conducted covert operations in Iran during the 12-day conflict.
In Iranian Retaliation, CENTCOM said its ongoing Epic Fury campaign has struck more than 2,000 Iranian targets, with theater ballistic missile shots down 86% from the first day of fighting and one-way attack drones down 73% in the last 24 hours, while the Israel Air Force predominantly targeted integrated air defense along the northern flank. Tehran has framed its strikes as self-defense, saying Israel and the United States left Iran with no choice, while Qatar pushed back, saying Iran is attempting to drag Gulf states into war.
In US Military Role, a US fighter pilot ejected during a friendly-fire incident in Kuwait as three F-15s were downed, with six crew members airlifted to safety and reported in stable condition, while four US soldiers were killed by a drone strike at a Port Shuaiba facility. Separately, the US military conducted a first-time combat use of a long-range Precision Strike Missile, while CENTCOM said more than 20 Iranian warships have been struck or sunk, including a Soleimani-class vessel. Washington's posture also faces a strain on munitions stocks, with reports that the stockpile of precision missiles is depleted and that in coming days interception targets may have to be prioritized, though officials insisted the United States still has ammunition to defend its operations.
In Regional Impacts, analysts say Tehran’s strikes across the Gulf have oddly brought Israel and Qatar onto the same side, potentially reshaping regional alignments and forcing governments to reassess interests. The UN reported that about 100,000 people fled Tehran in the first 48 hours of the conflict, underscoring the broader regional displacement. In northern Israel, sirens echoed as missiles and concerns over hostile aircraft prompted alerts in Metula, Ein Qana, Sha’ar Hines, and Sinnir as the fighting spilled into civilian areas and border regions.
In US Policy Concerning Israel, White House aides said they are monitoring reports that Majtaba Khamenei could advance toward the position of supreme leader, with intelligence agencies tracking developments. A World Israel News piece highlighted American families of Iranian terror victims seeking justice as part of the broader US-Israeli campaign. The White House also noted that Netanyahu informed President Trump that a strike against Khamenei could be contemplated, affecting scheduling, though the President had already decided to strike prior to that briefing.
