About this episode
- Israel widens strikes on Iran, missile intercepted
- Hezbollah to confront Lebanese army, evacuation warned
- Oil prices surge as Hormuz risk grows
The time is now 4:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Operation Lion's Roar, a former prime minister's national security adviser Yaakov Amidror said that if destroying Iran would require sitting in a shelter during Passover, that is a price worth paying.
In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, the war enters its next phase has seen Israel dramatically increase its strikes on Iran after the early period in which US forces conducted more attacks; analysts suggest the shift may reflect strategic calculations, munitions considerations, and political factors guiding both sides. In a separate development, the interception of the last missile bound for northern Israel was confirmed, underscoring the ongoing intensity of the conflict.
In Iranian Retaliation, Bahrain reports say Iran attacked oil refineries, according to sources in the Gulf region reporting on the retaliatory strikes linked to the widening conflict.
In Regional Impacts, oil markets remain volatile as prices surged initially but later pared some gains. Brent crude rose about 16.7 percent to around 108.20 dollars a barrel and US WTI climbed about 15.7 percent to roughly 105.13 dollars, with intraday highs reaching near 119 dollars for both benchmarks as disruptions to tanker movements and rising security risks affect supply routes around the Strait of Hormuz. Markets noted that Asian buyers remain heavily reliant on Middle Eastern crude as the crisis deepens, and observers anticipate further discussions by the G7 and the IEA about a coordinated response.
In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Hezbollah has instructed its members to confront the Lebanese army if it intervenes in the conflict, a briefing described by an Israeli source ahead of UN Special Coordinator Joanna Wronecka’s arrival in Israel amid the ongoing escalation. In Lebanon, the Israeli Defense Forces’ Arabic-language outreach has issued an urgent evacuation warning to residents of the Dahieh district in Beirut, stressing that the military does not wish to harm civilians and urging evacuation to reduce civilian risk while noting Hezbollah’s influence over safety conditions. Reports indicate many residents in southern Lebanon also received evacuation orders through the IDF’s Arabic channels as fighting intensifies. A recording published by the Israeli side depicted a conversation with a Dahieh resident expressing concern about Hezbollah and indicating support for evacuation and safety. Separately, a widely circulated claim that Hezbollah shot down an Israeli helicopter was examined and found to be false by a standard fact-check.
In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, amid the region’s tensions, supporters of the Iranian regime in Kermanshah, in western Iran, were seen chanting “Death to Israel” in response to the strikes, underscoring how the conflict has inflamed hostile rhetoric in various quarters.
