0:00Access to affordable credit helps me pay my employees, but I don't really need it. Inflation is killing me! Who cares? Big retailers are making record profits! That's why we support the Durban Marshall Credit Card Bill! See? Things in credit unions help small businesses make payroll. This bill would cut the vital resources they need. While increasing Megastore profits. They deserve it. Don't they? No Congress, stop the Durban Marshall money grab for corporate megastores. Paid for it by the Electronic Payments Coalition. The time is now 10.20 pm in New York. I'm Noah Levi and this is the latest Israel today, ongoing war report. In direct Israeli-run clashes, Northern Israel remained under impact from a third Iranian missile barrage in the early hours, with hospitals and emergency services reporting a rising casualty toll. Major David Adom said 30 people were wounded,

1:01including a 34-year-old woman moderately injured by Shrapnel on her back, and 29 others, in mild condition from glass shards or anxiety. All 30 were evacuated to nearby hospitals for treatment, and responders noted damaged homes and shattered windows at the scene. A separate account described a 17-year-old girl who was mildly injured after being struck by a car amid the strikes. As the day progressed, medics updated figures to at least 33 wounded, with a woman reported in moderate condition and others lightly injured by glass or shock. In the Jezrael Valley Bedouin village of Zazia, a building was hit and 15 people were wounded, with one person in serious condition. In Zazia, a later tally indicated 30 people evacuated from the area, 29 classified as mild and one as moderate, while the village's leadership said more than 100 structures had been damaged. Eyewitness footage and police statements described the extent of damage in Zazia, and alarms and emergency responses continued in the region,

2:02as sirens and defensive measures remained in place. Separate video circulated showing missiles in the night sky near Insurlic, Turkey. As regional observers monitored the broader threat, and authorities kept a close watch on developments. In Iranian retaliation, Iran's position toward regional energy security was asserted as the crisis persisted. Iran's UN ambassador said Tehran would not close the strait of hormones, insisting that protecting security of the shipping lane is Iran's right. A London-based outlet cited the Khartem-Alambia Central Headquarters, warning that any attack on Iran's energy infrastructure or ports would trigger a devastating response, including targeting oil and gas facilities across the region tied to the United States or its partners. The warning followed Israeli strikes on Tehran's fuel depots, which authorities said damaged facilities used by Iran's army and the IRGC, rather than civilian infrastructure, and officials stressed they would guard regional energy and shipping routes as tensions rose.

3:05In US military role, a reported incident involving US forces unfolded near the USS Abraham Lincoln. A US Navy vessel fired on an Iranian naval ship, after it sailed too close to the carrier, the shooting occurred earlier in the week, with officials noting that shots initially missed. A Markminus 45 gun was used, and a helicopter equipped with Hellfire missiles was launched, striking the Iranian ship with two missiles, the current status of the Iranian vessel, and its crew was not immediately known. This event follows a prior episode in February, when US forces shot down an Iranian drone that approached the Lincoln in the Arabian Sea, underscoring ongoing US Iran tensions in the region. In regional impacts, the broader consequences of the crisis were being assessed across borders and capitals. Turkey's stance toward Iran remained cautious, with Ankara having not fought Iran since 1639, and officials signaling restraint, even as warnings circulated that war with Iran could affect ties with Israel.

4:05President Erdogan condemned antisemitism, but did not condemn Iranian missiles in remarks carried publicly. Across the affected areas, Zazia and nearby communities reported significant disruption and damage. Early medics reports placed the Zazia casualty count at 30 in one tally, 29 mild, one moderate. While later figures from local leadership described over 100 damaged structures, Channel 12 and other outlets cited dozens of injuries in the Jesrial Valley, and surrounding towns, including updates of civilian damage and ongoing alarms. The broader regional risk prompted attention to potential spillovers, including reports of missiles seen in the skies, over in Sirlic and continued alarms in northern towns. In parallel, reports from Paris and Washington, recounted a French service member's death, related to an Iranian drone attack on a base near Erbil. And US officials faced questions about strategic assessments of threats, such as the Strait of Hormuz, where analysis suggested policymakers underestimated Iran's willingness to respond to strikes.
