About this episode

HEADLINES
Missiles strike across Israel as war intensifies
IDF strikes Hezbollah infrastructure in Beirut
US intercepts Iranian drone over Baghdad

The time is now 11:02 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, initial reports indicate no casualties at this stage. Medics from Magen David Adom treated a woman in her 40s who was injured by flying debris as she moved to a shelter and she was evacuated for further care with a stable condition. Across the north and center, sirens sounded as missiles from Iran triggered alerts. Earlier, seven people were wounded in central Israel from missile fragments in the Gush Dan area, one of them in serious condition. The overnight barrage kept people indoors as Operation Roaring Lion enters its second week. In Be’er Sheva a school was shut following the missile threat, underscoring the disruption to daily life. Reports from Iran’s leadership circles circulated in the feed, including a claim that the Guardian Council approved the son of the supreme leader as the new head of state, a development observers say could shape the crisis.

In Iranian Retaliation, a fragment from an Iranian missile hit central Israel, injuring a woman in her 40s who was struck by flying rocks as she walked to a shelter. Magen David Adom provided on-site first aid and evacuated the woman, with authorities reporting her condition as stable. Across Israel, sirens sounded across multiple areas as missiles from Iran continued to fall, and authorities confirmed seven people wounded in central Israel from missile fragments in the Gush Dan area, one in serious condition. The central hit was the only reported direct impact in this round, as the campaign continued into its second week amid ongoing alarm.

In US Military Role, the US president said the decision on when to end the war with Iran will be a mutual one with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, with Netanyahu weighing in on the resolution. He added that he would make a final call at the right time, with all factors considered. Separately, US air defense systems intercepted an Iranian drone that eventually fell on civilian houses in Baghdad.

In Regional Impacts, Saudi Arabia told Iran that continued attacks would lead to escalation, signaling concern over a widening regional crisis. The coordinated alarms in the north and center of Israel also ended in the regions listed, signaling an all-clear across the Beit She’an Basin, the Haifa Bay area, Menashe, Wadi Araba, Carmel, the Upper Galilee, the frontline, the Jezreel Valley, central Galilee, the North and South Golan, and the Lower Galilee. France also said it would host a video meeting of G7 finance ministers on the Middle East crisis on Monday to review the Gulf situation from an economic perspective, with participants including finance ministers and central bank governors from member states. Finance ministers and central bank governors from the G7 will attend.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, initial reporting indicates the IDF struck Hezbollah infrastructure in Beirut. The crackdown continued with the IDF targeting Hezbollah assets in Beirut, as part of a broader round of strikes.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, Trump warned that the leadership of Iran would not endure for long, signaling a tough stance. He also pressed for what was described as a swift move to grant Netanyahu clemency, reflecting political pressure within Israel. Separately, Trump reiterated that ending the Iran war would be a mutual decision with Netanyahu and the two allies were coordinating approaches to resolve the conflict.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, a critical view of Israel’s recent actions urged caution about targets chosen, saying it would be prudent to be careful with the targets selected in military operations.
