About this episode

HEADLINES
- Israel strikes Iran oil infrastructure, Tehran fires
- Iran vows six-month war, Gulf drone strikes
- Netanyahu vows Israel won’t back down

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 a new wave of strikes across Iran targeting infrastructure linked to the regime, with authorities describing a broad campaign underway. Fires continue to burn at the Shahran Oil Depot in northern Tehran into the morning following overnight strikes by the IDF. In Lebanon, reports describe an attack around a hotel area in Beirut and sirens in the north, while interceptions were reported in the Gulf near the capital. Israel has described the strikes as aimed at Iran’s oil resources, and an unusual Lebanese claim that 41 Hezbollah members were killed tonight emerged but has been disputed.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, air raid sirens sounded across southern and central Israel after missiles were launched from Iran, with several missiles intercepted. Red alerts prompted millions in the north to seek shelter, and the IDF announced a military exercise planned in the Golan Heights area.

In Iranian Retaliation, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said the country could wage an intense war for six months against the United States and Israel, as Israel said it struck Tehran’s commanders at a seaside hotel in Beirut. The conflict spilled into the region with Saudi Arabia intercepting a wave of drones aimed at targets including Riyadh’s diplomatic quarter and Kuwait reporting an attack on fuel tanks at its international airport. Iran also accused the US and Israel of striking an oil depot in Tehran, while Israel said it hit a number of fuel storage facilities in Tehran used to operate military infrastructure and launched a new wave of strikes across Tehran on Sunday.

In Regional Impacts, emergency services say there are no confirmed casualties yet in the latest round of fire directed at Israel, with medics treating a number of people for anxiety and evacuating 64 individuals to hospitals. Citizens are urged to follow Home Front guidance and remain vigilant as emergency responders maintain a high state of readiness with wide ambulance coverage, treatment units, and standby helicopters. Sirens are currently also sounding in Bahrain as regional tensions continue to roil the area.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the IDF destroyed in Lebanon a launcher from which rockets were fired at the Galilee, a strike described as part of ongoing operations across the region. The report notes that about 650,000 Israeli Arabs live in the Galilee, a fact highlighted as context for Israel’s defense of communities there.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, an editorial argues that while Trump’s support for Israel matters, he should not meddle in its politics. It notes Trump’s role since returning to office and cites past and recent operations, including involvement in a 12 Day War with Iran and references to Operation Midnight Hammer, Operation Roaring Lion, and Operation Epic Fury, highlighting that public opinion in the United States is divided over the conduct of the conflict.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a speech with a clear message: Israel will not back down.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, police are investigating after gunfire struck two synagogues in the Greater Toronto Area early Saturday, marking the third such attack in the region this week. No injuries were reported as investigators review surveillance footage to determine suspects and connections.
