About this episode
IDF's 15th strike hits Tehran commander
Russia aids Iran with US-targeting intelligence
Smotrich's son injured in Lebanon clash
The time is now 10:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, the IDF said it has begun its 15th wave of strikes on targets inside Iran, announcing that it struck infrastructure belonging to the Islamic regime in Tehran and Isfahan. The military also indicated that, in line with its latest operations, targets in Qom, south of Tehran, were reported hit by two sources. An hour after confirming the new strikes, the IDF said that during its Tehran operations it had targeted “a senior Iranian terror regime commander in Tehran” without naming the official. The announcements come after the IDF said it had previously struck former Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei’s underground bunker in Tehran, describing the bunker as a secure emergency command center that continued to be used by senior regime officials. The earlier rounds involved around 50 aircraft.
In US Military Role, Russia is reported to be supplying Iran with intelligence to target US forces in the Middle East, according to The Washington Post, which cites three unnamed officials. The report says Moscow has shared locations of US warships and aircraft since the war began, signaling a broadening of the conflict with one of the United States’ principal strategic rivals. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has urged an end to hostilities and a return to diplomatic efforts under international law. Analysts note that, beyond Iran, President Vladimir Putin’s priorities include Ukraine, making a direct US-Russia confrontation unlikely but not unimaginable, and that the broader regional picture remains fluid.
In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the Israeli military said five soldiers from the Givati Brigade were severely wounded today by gunfire near the Lebanon border and were evacuated for treatment, with families notified. In the same incident, three additional soldiers from the Givati Brigade were wounded lightly and also evacuated, with families updated. In a separate Hezbollah rocket attack on an outpost, eight soldiers were wounded, five of them seriously, and were evacuated to Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya; among the injured was the son of Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, lightly hurt.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s son was wounded on the Lebanon border with light injuries and is in stable condition. Defense Minister Israel Katz expressed wishes for a speedy recovery and offered support for Smotrich and his family, saying the entire country stands with them as IDF fighters continue their operations.
In Israeli Economy and Business, private jets are increasingly being used as an alternative path out of the Gulf as the Iran conflict intensifies. Dubai-based PetX Jets reports a surge in inquiries from a wide range of travelers seeking to leave the region as airspace restrictions and the broader security situation limit commercial travel. The seven-day campaign against Iran has heightened travel disruption and pushed up prices for private jet hire, as operators scramble to accommodate demand from residents and visitors seeking to depart the area.
In Uplifting News, a pair of new shower-tracking services are being highlighted as a practical bit of resilience in daily life. Can I Shower? and Best Shower Time, available in English and Hebrew, offer real-time risk assessments that estimate the chance of being interrupted by a missile alert during a shower. For example, in Jerusalem a five-minute shower might carry a reported 40% chance of needing to halt the wash, with the sites highlighting ongoing user activity and timing as people coordinate safety with daily routines.
