The time is now 10.01 am in New York. I'm Noah Levi and this is the latest Israel today, ongoing war report. In direct Israeli-run clashes, public impatience has grown after two weeks of airstrikes that have not toppled the regime, and analysts note that history shows ground forces are often essential for a decisive outcome. Air campaigns can degrade infrastructure and leadership, but a quick victory remains

1:02unlikely, and the question of whether Iran can be defeated from the air alone without a ground component is being debated. The Israeli Defence Forces said it destroyed an Iranian space research centre, and a central air defence production facility in Tehran. Part of a broader effort to degrade the regime's core military capabilities. Dozens of regime-linked sites were struck, including facilities tied to space research used for military satellites that could surveil and direct fire. This operation is described as part of a deeper phase aimed at eroding central capabilities. Reports also indicate additional launches were directed at Jerusalem and the central region, signaling escalation in the campaign. In United States military role, the United States is moving thousands of Marines into the Middle East, as the war with Iran continues into its third week. The amphibious assault ship Tripoli and its Marine Expeditionary Unit are being deployed, with more than 2,500 Marines expected to participate.

2:02The deployment is framed as an opportunity to practice literal warfare, a concept involving near-shored joint operations that has been discussed for decades as a potential shift in how such conflicts are fought, in regional impacts, alerts and alarms have rippled across southern Israel as Iran's launches continue. Those described disruptions along a major road in the Tel Aviv area, and claimed an Iranian oil facility had been attacked, while noting that some launches were destroyed and morale was affected. The Israeli military also said the campaign would continue in the north, describing the current phase as only the beginning. Alarms were activated in al-At and its surroundings, with security agencies issuing warnings as the situation develops and authorities monitor new developments. In the conflict with Iran and its regional proxies, the Israeli military said it, killed a central commander in Hezbollah's communications unit, and a commander in the Gaza-based unit of Iran's quid's force. The announcement notes these hits are part of ongoing operations, and marks the fifth

3:04commander from the quid's force and the third from Gaza to be killed, since the operation known as Lion's Raw. In United States policy concerning Israel, geopolitics is described as a patient chess match as the United States, and Israel position against Iran. Reports recount a major Israeli airborne operation on March 5, in which roughly 50 fighter aircraft, targeted an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps command bunker in Tehran. The objective was to remove several senior commanders and Maj-Tarbah Khamenei, the recently designated Supreme Leader. If successful, the strike would carry symbolic weight, and could accelerate fractures within the Iranian regime. The assessment notes that, for President Trump, Iran is not the most formidable adversary militarily, reflecting a dynamic and fluid regional balance. In Israeli domestic politics, a quiet program is expanding the involvement of ultra-orthodox women in the Israel defense forces. Hur-A-D women are helping others from their community join the army while preserving their

4:04values, with Este Solomon leading ATI-DA, an organization that supports this path. Iran's work has drawn detractors and protests from hard-line elements, but the effort seeks to widen opportunities for Hur-A-D women to serve the country, without compromising family and faith commitments.
