About this episode

HEADLINES
Interceptions Over Central Israel Signal Clashes
Iran 460kg 60% Enrichment Fuels Nuclear Fears
Hezbollah Guerrilla Tactics Rise in South Lebanon

The time is now 2:03 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Interceptions in the skies of central Israel. Interceptions were reported over central Israel as tensions in the region persist.

In Iranian Retaliation, 460 kilograms of uranium enriched to sixty percent, enough to make eleven bombs, were cited by United States special envoy Steve Witkoff as material Iran could have used for military enrichment, and he said Tehran began negotiations with the United States claiming it had that material and was a week to a week and a half away from further enrichment. He added that there was no reason to stay at sixty percent enrichment unless pursuing a weapon, and noted that Russia had denied sharing intelligence with Iran during a conversation between the presidents of the United States and Russia. In a separate thread, Iran’s parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Tehran would not seek a ceasefire and would respond to what it calls aggression, while Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana suggested that the only proposal to Iran was unconditional surrender and that a ceasefire was not on offer. Ghalibaf later warned that whatever the enemy does, Iran will respond with a proportionate and immediate retaliation and that attacks on infrastructure would not go unanswered.

In Regional Impacts, a Royal Navy destroyer has departed from its base in southern England for the eastern Mediterranean to bolster British defences amid the United States–Israeli war with Iran. The deployment of HMS Dragon comes after criticism of a slow response to a drone attack on Britain's Akrotiri air base in southern Cyprus, where an Iranian-made drone struck the runway. The Royal Navy described HMS Dragon as among the most capable air‑defence ships and said she will strengthen the ability to detect, track and destroy aerial threats, including drones, in the region. The move follows statements from Britain’s defence ministry and comes as President Donald Trump signaled the war might be over soon, with broader regional tensions continuing.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Hezbollah is shaping its approach to possible broader conflict by reverting to guerrilla tactics in south Lebanon, according to four Lebanese sources familiar with the group’s activities. Hezbollah is operating in small units, avoiding communications that could be tapped and rationing key anti‑tank rockets as it faces pressure from the Lebanese government to disarm and as Israel prepares for a potential invasion. At the same time, two Hezbollah missiles struck central Israel on Monday after an atypical technical fault; the missiles penetrated air defenses and landed in Ramle and an open area in the Mateh Yehuda district, lightly wounding civilians. The Israeli military said most missiles were intercepted, and that the ones fired were weapons the army is familiar with. Following the incident, the defense ministry said adjustments were made to strengthen interception capabilities in the northern area, and Israel renewed strikes against Hezbollah targets in Beirut, including the killing of a Hezbollah cell. Separately, reporting on Lebanon continues, with broader tensions shaping regional dynamics.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, a police officer named Rinat Saban asked the Jerusalem District Court to hold National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir in contempt for not signing the promotion to chief superintendent despite a court ruling ordering the promotion without delay. The court had ruled on February ninth that the minister must approve the promotion, and rejected his request to stay that judgment pending appeal. The filing argues that the minister has treated the ruling as though it were frozen, despite no stay being granted. The dispute centers on Ben-Gvir’s authority over the police in a high‑profile governance clash. In a separate development, the Beersheba District Court ordered four defendants, including Bezalel Zini, the brother of Shin Bet chief David Zini, released to house arrest in a wartime Gaza smuggling case. The judge said the evidentiary record did not prove the wartime security offenses charged, while remaining offenses could ground detention based on dangerousness and personal circumstances. The decision noted that the defendants would be assessed individually and that full house arrest, supervision, and other restrictions could neutralize risk. In a third thread, the government faced opposition criticism as it prepared to approve more than five billion new Israeli shekels in the 2026 state budget directed at ultra‑Orthodox institutions and West Bank settlements. Critics say the funding amid wartime manpower strains and ongoing debates over conscription is politically motivated, with former prime minister Naftali Bennett accusing the government of “stealing from the public” while Israel fights on multiple fronts.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, calls to boycott Huda Beauty resurfaced in January 2026 after the founder posted a video aligned with the Iranian regime, following a 2025 summer when Huda Kattan, founder of the cosmetics brand, posted antisemitic conspiracy content to her followers. Campaigns urging Sephora to sever ties with Huda Beauty have circulated as part of the renewed backlash, linking the brand to broader anti‑Jewish rhetoric.

In Uplifting News, From the Western Wall to war sirens: A Chinese traveler’s unexpected Israeli journey chronicles the experience of Sophia Zhan, a writer from Guangzhou who arrived in Israel with plans to travel through Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Israel before Nepal. She cancelled her return flight to China, choosing to stay in Israel to write a book. She describes becoming a “radical observer” and says Jerusalem changed her view of the region and its peoples, reshaping her expectations as she shares insights about religion, culture and human connection.
