About this episode
Fragment hits Tel Aviv injuring three
Hezbollah ambush kills two Israeli soldiers
Iranian retaliation hits UAE and Israel
The time is now 10:03 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Operation Lion's Roar, a recording circulating on opposition channels describes a drone attack on a checkpoint and Basij motorcyclists in Tehran.
In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, a fragment struck Tel Aviv, leaving three injured: a man about 40 in serious condition, a man about 25 in moderate condition, and a 56-year-old in mild condition.
In Iranian Retaliation, over the past week Iran's attacks by country show the United Arab Emirates has borne the brunt of the regional assault, followed by Israel.
In US Military Role, Central Command warns Iranian civilians should stay indoors due to fire from populated areas and says it may be forced to act, stating, "We cannot guarantee the safety of civilians living in these areas."
In Regional Impacts, alarms were heard in the north after the central strike, with several fall zones active and six people evacuated to hospitals. Separately, a senior UAE official condemned a false Israeli report claiming Abu Dhabi joined the strike on Iran, saying such leaks damage regional cooperation and that Abu Dhabi makes its own decisions; the official urged restraint and responsibility in messaging.
In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, two Israeli soldiers were killed in a Hezbollah ambush in southern Lebanon. One was Sergeant 1st Class Maher Khatar, 38, from Majdal Shams, member of the Combat Engineering Corps in the 91st division; the second soldier has not yet been named. The soldiers were defending the Margaliyot, Manara, and Misgav Am area on the Israeli side of the border. Druze community leader Sheikh Mowafaq Tarif remembered Khatar and described him as the first Druze fallen soldier of Operation Roaring Lion, underscoring the partnership across communities. A senior Northern Command official said Hezbollah and Iran have nearly severed ties and that Hezbollah is conducting the campaign independently. Cleared for publication reports corroborated the loss of two Israeli soldiers in southern Lebanon and memorials followed. Israeli forces summarized a week of fighting against Hezbollah as having attacked 600 targets with 820 munitions, completing 27 waves of strikes in the Beirut area, with about 200 militants killed.
In Uplifting News, Anat Mastor, head of perfusion at Save A Child’s Heart, recalls her childhood under the Islamic regime in Iran after escaping in 1987 as a Jewish teen. Now leading lifesaving work for children around the world, she remains hopeful for Iranian freedom and notes that while Israel and the United States are providing help, more is needed for Iranians to regain their country’s future.
