About this episode

HEADLINES
Israel Attacks Tehran as Iran Clashes Escalate
US KC-135 Crashes in Western Iraq
Iranian Hackers Leak IDF Officer Contacts

The time is now 3:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, the Israeli Air Force has begun a wave of attacks in Tehran, with explosions heard across the Iranian capital. Separately, an Iranian hacker group known as Handala published contact names and phone numbers from the phone of a senior officer in the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit; the breach occurred about six months ago and the data was reposted recently, prompting new security measures for personnel. Overnight, heavy waves of missile fire hit northern Israel, including a strike on a residential building in the Arab town of Zarzir in the central Galilee, leaving about 30 people wounded, including 15 children, most injuries categorized as light. A US KC-135 refueling aircraft was lost over friendly territory, a second aircraft was damaged but landed safely in Israel, and CENTCOM says rescue operations are ongoing with more information to follow. A missile fired at Eilat was intercepted, and a launch from Iran toward Eilat was detected.

In US Military Role, an American KC-135 refueling aircraft crashed in western Iraq during Operation Epic Fury. Two aircraft were involved, with one crashing and the other landing safely in Israel. The US military said the incident was not caused by hostile fire nor by friendly fire, and rescue operations are ongoing with additional details expected later.

In Regional Impacts, drones struck Oman, killing two expatriate workers in the Al Awhi Industrial Zone after one drone landed in an open area with no casualties reported. An Iranian missile targeted NATO’s Incirlik Air Base in southern Turkey, and NATO provided no statement on the incident while Turkey said a US Patriot air defense system was deployed to its southeast near Malatya in response to ongoing missile threats. Saudi Arabia said it shot down multiple hostile drones, with one drone near the Embassies District and others intercepted in the Al-Kharj region. An Iranian attack was reported this morning in Dubai. Following a recent assessment, authorities in Eilat said it is permissible to leave the protected area, though residents should continue to heed Home Front Command guidance.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, العراق: six French soldiers were wounded in a drone attack attributed to Iran on a French base near Erbil in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. The IDF said it recently struck the Al-Zarariya Bridge on the Litani River in Lebanon, a central crossing used by Hezbollah, noting that Hezbollah uses this bridge to move across the country and has positioned launchers nearby to fire toward Israel. The strike aimed to prevent threats to Israeli citizens and reduce danger to Lebanese civilians. Separately, a French soldier was killed last night in Iraq as a result of an Iranian attack.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, energy markets are shifting as sanctions dynamics adjust amid the broader tensions. The US Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control has issued a general license authorizing the delivery and sale of crude oil and petroleum products from Russia, effective March 12 and lasting at least through April 11, in response to rising energy prices linked to the conflict.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, US authorities identified the terrorist behind yesterday’s attempted attack at a synagogue in Michigan as Ayman Mohammed Ghazali, 41. Ghazali is a US citizen who arrived from Lebanon in 2011, married an American woman, and obtained US citizenship in 2016.
