Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - Update from 2026-03-09 at 12:02

About this episode

HEADLINES
- Iran fires again amid Israel Iran clash
- Lebanon toll 486; Nasr Unit commander killed
- Israeli parents juggle work amid school closures

The time is now 12:02 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Iran conducted another launch. The reports provide no further detail.

In Regional Impacts, Israeli parents describe the struggle to juggle work and childcare as the war keeps schools closed. Daycares and kindergartens remain shut indefinitely, and schools are closed but operate remotely via Zoom; many working parents have had to return to work after Home Front Command lifted restrictions on Thursday. Across the country parents described the challenge as a balancing act and discussed coping strategies, potential government support, and some unexpected positives, including remarks from a father in Rehovot about the daily effort to create routines that resemble normal life. Separately, there are brief notes of siren forecasts in under three minutes, a subsequent launch toward the center, and decisions that not all alarms will be activated. The regional picture also includes Turkey using regional tensions to deploy six F-16 fighters in Northern Cyprus, and France is deploying around a dozen naval vessels, including an aircraft carrier strike group, to the Mediterranean, Red Sea, and possibly the Strait of Hormuz to provide defensive support to allies.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the Lebanese health ministry said the death toll from Israeli attacks in Lebanon this week rose to 486, with 1,313 people reported as wounded. Overnight, an IDF airstrike in Lebanon killed Abu Hussein Ra’ab, the commander of Hezbollah’s Nasr Unit, one of five Hezbollah regional divisions responsible for the area between Mount Dov and the Bint Jbeil region.

In Uplifting News, Iranian women’s soccer team is reported as safe with Australian police after signals for help were seen while they were in Australia for the Women’s Asian Cup. The players had stood silent during the Iranian national anthem, an act interpreted by hardliners in Iran as treason, and were moved to safety after concerns about their welfare.
