About this episode
US-Israeli strikes target Iran's missile bases
El Al repatriation flight blocked by strikes
Iranian strikes injure two in Azerbaijan
The time is now 6:02 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Iran spent decades building underground bunkers to shield its missile arsenal from air attack, a strategy that appears increasingly strained as United States and Israeli forces press operations around dozens of bases, striking missile launchers as they emerge. Fighter jets and armed drones are circling the targets, while waves of heavy bombers drop munitions on sites, burying weapons underground at entrances to what Iranian officials call missile cities. Satellite imagery in recent days shows burning remains of missiles and launchers destroyed in airstrikes near those entrances. Tehran has fired more than 500 missiles toward Israel, United States bases, and other targets in the region since the conflict began, though many have been intercepted.
In central Israel, an El Al repatriation flight was blocked from landing at Ben-Gurion Airport by Iranian strikes, with sirens sounding across the center of the country as the plane climbed away. There were no injuries reported by Magen David Adom, and Israel Police said they were at the scene of a fallen fragment of an Iranian missile in central Israel, though no injuries were confirmed. A separate round of sirens later sounded in northern communities when Hezbollah fired rockets at Israel, with no injuries reported by emergency services. This remains a developing story.
In Azerbaijan’s Nakhchivan region, missiles and drones believed to be arriving from Iran fell near the Nakhchivan International Airport, sparking a fire at the site. Video circulated showing an explosion near the airport terminal, and a second drone was reported near a nearby school. Azerbaijani officials said two people were injured and announced they had summoned the Iranian ambassador, reserving the right to respond.
