Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - Update from 2026-03-07 at 21:02

About this episode

HEADLINES
Tehran oil depots ablaze after strikes
Satnav jammed 1000 ships adrift
Beirut hotel strike kills four

The time is now 9:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Operation Lion's Roar, columns of flame and thick black smoke rise from the Shahran Oil Depot in Northwestern Tehran, visible for miles after strikes earlier tonight by the Israeli Air Force. The fire from the Rey oil refinery near Tehran has spread, with oil seeping into the sewage and drainage system and streets set ablaze. A massive blaze is burning at the Aqdasiyeh Oil Depot in Northern Tehran, with the entire facility engulfed in flames following Israeli airstrikes on the facility.

In Iranian Retaliation, air defense systems in Kuwait are dealing with launches identified as coming from Iran, with minor damage reported from falling interceptor debris, Reuters reports.

In Regional Impacts, the global positioning system capabilities of cargo ships, oil tankers and other vessels in the Middle East have been hampered by the jamming of satellite navigation signals since the start of US-Israeli strikes, leaving about 1,000 ships in the Gulf and Gulf of Oman unable to determine their location at times. That number represents roughly half the vessels in the area, with most ships located off the United Arab Emirates and Oman. A satellite navigation system relies on satellites from multiple GNSS systems: US GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou. Most smartphones now use two GNSS frequency bands, one older and fainter and a newer stronger one. A separate brief item is listed as Back to the bomb shelter, with no further details.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, missile barrages and national determination: The signs that the conflict could continue for some time. Nine days into the Israel–US offensive on Iran, missile launches are declining but the war shows no sign of ending; Hezbollah has escalated attacks from Lebanon as Washington deploys more forces and leaders signal a long campaign ahead. Now we can tell: an unusual bombing in Lebanon targeted senior commanders of Iran's Revolutionary Guards. The Israeli Defense Forces said it will not permit Iranian terror bases in Lebanon and will continue to eliminate Iranian terror leadership wherever they operate. A wave of attacks began in Dahieh in Beirut, and air sirens were heard in Kiryat Shmona due to suspected fire from Lebanon. An airstrike on a central Beirut hotel killed at least four people; Lebanon blamed Israel, and the attack came after the IDF stated that all options remain on the table, including a ground operation.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, the United States bypassed Congress using emergency authority to speed the sale of more than 20,000 bombs to Israel, worth about $650 million. The package includes 12,000 BLU-110A/B general purpose 1,000-pound bomb bodies Israel requested, and comes a week after the United States and Israel began their joint air campaign against Iran. The State Department said the sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States, and the principal contractor will be named in due course. The effort is described as supporting operations aimed at destroying Iran's offensive missiles, missile production and navy.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, Be a Refusenik: A Jewish Student’s Survival Guide offers a playbook for resistance drawn from the refusenik movement. The foreword is by Natan Sharansky. Izabella Tabarovsky notes parallels between past activists and today’s Jewish student leaders, arguing that anti-Israel voices on campuses did not invent the language attacking Jews but inherited it from Moscow, and she urges activists to mirror those who stood up for Jewish identity while contesting hostile propaganda.
