About this episode

HEADLINES
US backs Israel warns of Iran threat
Kurds launch ground offensive into Iran
Israel reopens airspace launches 100k repatriations

The time is now 5:03 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In US Military Role, President Trump said the United States will continue to do well, calling the US military the greatest in the world and describing Iran as a tremendous threat for 47 years, adding that Iran’s missiles are being wiped out rapidly and that they would have used them on us if we let them. Separately, reports indicate the United States is sending reinforcement troops to Iraq to bolster forces there.

In Regional Impacts, sirens sounded in Kiryat Shmona after an enemy aircraft breached Israeli airspace. Israel is partially reopening its airspace and preparing to carry out repatriation flights to bring home about 100,000 Israelis stranded abroad, with El Al, Arkia and Israir operating dozens of flights. Ben Gurion Airport will run 24 hours a day but in a limited fashion: in the first 24 hours, about one passenger aircraft per hour with roughly 200 people per flight; after that, service is planned to increase to two narrow-body aircraft per hour or one wide-body, subject to security developments.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, thousands of Kurdish fighters have begun ground activity inside Iran from areas near the Iran-Iraq border, with Iranian Kurdish groups described as among the most prominent opposition forces along the frontier. A US official told Fox News that thousands of Iraqi Kurds have launched a ground offensive in Iran, and Reuters reports a Kurdish camp in Iraq was attacked. Israel has discussed the possibility of Kurdish territorial gains as a means to destabilize Iran, and there was a report of a second strike in Beirut.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, an opinion piece argues that the ongoing war has revealed a new, unprecedented US-Israel alliance, a bipartisan development that tightens the regional security architecture and could reshape future alliances around the world. Separately, the White House said it is watching reports that Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Iran's late supreme leader, has emerged as a frontrunner to succeed him, and that President Trump is weighing what role the United States might play in Iran after the operation, while the focus remains on ensuring the success of the military campaign. Press secretary Leavitt said officials will wait and see and defended the goals of the joint Israeli-US air campaign amid criticism that evidence for imminent threats had not been provided.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, the Home Front Command has lightened security guidelines, moving from essential activity to a limited level of activity, with the changes taking effect at 12:00 on Thursday. The guidelines permit gatherings of up to 50 people in protected spaces and allow workplaces to resume operations if a protected space can be reached within the required time. The measures are expected to stay in place at least until Saturday at 8 p.m. A separate advisory notes updated defensive guidelines will take effect Thursday, March 5, 2026 at 12:00, nationwide, moving all areas from essential to limited activity with updated restrictions and safety measures.

In Uplifting News, the message frames the conflict as a clash of good and evil, with Israel defending life and Iran exporting terror; listeners are urged to stand with Israel and with truth.

Hi, my name is Mira Pataston. I'm an author and I'm an activist and GoFundMe is my go-to platform for fundraising. The first GoFundMe I did was to raise money for a chat book or a collection of poetry and essays and short stories. So we started to go fund me and our goal was 7,000. What I've learned is so special about GoFundMe is that it's a whole collection of people offering anything from like four dollars to four hundred dollars and each time you get a ping that someone donated even if it is just four dollars it's so exciting. So if you have a goal and you get there you can keep making it bigger and bigger and bigger. We did go past our goal. It was amazing. GoFundMe is the world's number one fundraising platform trusted by over 200 million people. Start your GoFundMe today at GoFundMe.com That's GoFundMe.com. GoFundMe.com
