About this episode

HEADLINES
Israel strikes Tehran infrastructure in new campaign
Israel strikes Hezbollah centers in Beirut
US F-15 crashes in Iran crew rescued

The time is now 1:02 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Operation Lion's Roar, the IDF has begun another wave of attacks in Tehran, launching a broad campaign against the Iranian regime's infrastructure across the capital. Israeli officials say these strikes aim at critical facilities as part of ongoing efforts in the region. In addition, the IDF released documentation of an attack on a ground-to-ground missile launcher and an air defense system in Isfahan and Bam, underscoring a wider effort to degrade Iran's military capabilities.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, overnight activity included Israeli strikes on Hezbollah command centers in Beirut as Iran and Hezbollah launched attacks on Israel. Beirut airstrikes targeted Hezbollah facilities, and reports say a Hamas operative was killed in a strike in Tripoli; there were no reported injuries in Israel despite multiple missiles and drones. Also reported was a targeted location on Army Highway in Tehran.

In US Military Role, an American F-15 fighter jet crashed in western Iran, and the crew were rescued by a joint American-Israeli team, most likely Israeli Unit 669. Separately, CENTCOM says the effort to eliminate the Iranian regime's mobile missile launch capabilities continues, with forces locating and destroying these threats with lethal precision.

In Regional Impacts, international evacuation efforts are intensifying as flights are planned from Muscat to Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen, Heathrow, Madrid, and Rome, and from Riyadh to Frankfurt. Israel has announced the start of a program to bring home citizens stranded abroad, with the first two return flights expected to land at Ben-Gurion Airport on Thursday. The United States has launched a charter flight program to repatriate Americans from the Middle East, and as of Wednesday more than 17,500 US citizens had returned, with thousands more headed to Europe and Asia. Qatar Airways said it will operate limited relief flights from Muscat and Riyadh to European destinations. Separately, the escalating conflict has reduced global air cargo capacity by about 22% from February 28 to March 3, grounding passenger and freight flights at hubs such as Doha and Dubai. Airlines and freight forwarders warn of backlogs as shipments ranging from perishables to airplane parts are delayed, and executives note the supply chain to the Middle East has effectively been halted.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, leaders met as the conflict widened. Prime Minister Netanyahu met with French President Macron and Lebanese officials to discuss Hezbollah attacks; Macron urged Hezbollah to immediately cease attacks and asked Netanyahu to avoid a ground offensive, reiterating France's support for Lebanon's territorial integrity and humanitarian aid for displaced Lebanese. The Iranian news agency IRNA reported that the Iranian army attacked Kurdish militias in Iraq with three missiles aimed at their headquarters. Overnight, the IDF struck additional Hezbollah command centers in Beirut, including one used by Hezbollah's aerial unit; Israel said warnings, precision munitions, and aerial surveillance were used to minimize civilian harm. Analysts note Hezbollah coordinates with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on launches toward Israel, with Iran seeking to buy time on the strategic clock while Hezbollah risks losing time on the operational clock as the IDF increases its pace of responses.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, California Governor Gavin Newsom denounces Israel as an apartheid state and calls for the United States to end its support, signaling a sharp shift in stance amid the broader regional crisis.
