Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - Update from 2026-03-11 at 05:02

About this episode

HEADLINES
Israel Iran clashes widen with drone strikes
Iran strikes US defense system tensions rise
Dubai drone strike injures four people

The time is now 5:02 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said today that we cannot allow an ayatollah-led regime with a nuclear weapon, especially one with capabilities that could reach Italy and Europe. Across the region, air raid sirens were heard in Gush Dan and the Shomron, as the IDF reported strikes inside Iran and in Dahieh in Lebanon, with further surgical activity in Lebanon ongoing. The big question remains when such tensions might erupt into a broader confrontation. In the south, residents were stunned as a city was ordered shut for safety reasons, while sirens and interceptions lit the night sky nationwide and Iran’s regime was described as chaotic. The night’s summary framed the war in Iran as the “silent killer,” noting deadly road accidents. Separately, the Israeli air force said it struck a group of Iranian drone operatives at a launch site in western Iran shortly before they were to launch drones toward Israeli territory, stating it identified the operatives at the site on Monday and that it is continuing to strike missile-related infrastructure in western Iran to reduce missile fire toward Israeli territory. This is a developing story.

In Iranian Retaliation, a senior American official acknowledged that Iran struck one of the United States’ most advanced systems. The report also notes that air raid sirens were heard in the Tel Aviv area and the Shomron, and that Israeli forces have been conducting strikes in Iran and in Dahieh, with ongoing warnings and disruption as the night unfolded amid the broader regional tension.

In Regional Impacts, the country’s north has been described as stretched and sleepless, with sirens in the Tel Aviv region and the West Bank as the IDF continues strikes in Iran and in Lebanon and reinforces northern defenses after assessments of the situation. The defense chief announced steps to bolster the northern front, including moving elements of the Golani Brigade from the south to the north, with potential additional force buildups to come. In London, British police banned a pro-Iran march planned for Sunday, citing the risk of extreme tensions with counter-protesters and Tehran’s role in the broader conflict; the Al Quds march was barred, with authorities noting the high threshold for a protest ban and the potential for disorder, a ban also extending to counter-protests. In the wider Middle East, four people were injured in an Iranian drone strike on Dubai airport, and Iran’s emergency command said it would expand targets to banks and economic institutions in the region that it says are linked to the United States and Israel.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, the decision to appeal the Be’er Sheva District Court’s ruling to release Batzlal Zini and four associates to house arrest was confirmed, with the state opting to challenge the decision. Separately, there was a retrospective note on how funds were distributed in the Bennett government’s budget.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, two Jewish men were beaten outside a restaurant in San Jose’s Santana Row after speaking Hebrew, with police investigating the incident as a possible hate crime. Video shows the victims being attacked by three individuals; witnesses reported the assailants shouting remarks during the confrontation, and one victim required stitches after the assault.

President Barack Obama. Virginia, we are counting on you. Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to raid the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years. But you can stop them by voting yes by April 21st. Help put our elections back on a level playing field and let voters decide not politicians. Vote yes by April 21st. Paid for by Virginians for fair elections. The time is now 5.02 a.m. in New York. I'm Noah Levi and this is the latest Israel today, ongoing war report. In direct Israeli-run clashes, Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni said today that we cannot allow an Ayatollalad regime with a nuclear weapon, especially one with capabilities that could reach Italy and Europe. Across the region, air raid sirens were heard in Gush Dan and the Shomron. As the IDF reported strikes inside Iran

and in Dahi in Lebanon, with further surgical activity in Lebanon ongoing, the big question remains when such tensions might erupt into a broader confrontation. In the south, residents were stunned as a city was ordered shut for safety reasons. While sirens and interceptions lit the night sky nationwide and Iran's regime was described as chaotic, the night summary framed the war in Iran as the silent killer, noting deadly road accidents.

The defense chief announced steps to bolster the northern front, including moving elements of the Galani brigade from the south to the north, with potential additional force build-ups to come. In London, British police banned a pro-Iran march planned for Sunday, citing the risk of extreme tensions with counter protestors and Tehran's role in the broader conflict. The al-Quds march was barred, with authorities noting the high threshold for a protest ban and the potential for disorder. A ban also extending to counter protests.
