About this episode

HEADLINES
Iran fires missiles at central Israel intercepted
Trump says US may strike Kharg Island
Amsterdam Jewish school bombing suspect hunted

The time is now 9:02 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Iran launched a ballistic missile at central Israel at about 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, following an earlier wave aimed at Eilat around 1:30 a.m. The IDF’s Home Front Command sounded sirens across central Israel, the northern West Bank, Eilat, and the Arava. Initial reports indicate shrapnel landed in Rishon Lezion, Ramle, and Bnei Brak, with Magen David Adom and United Hatzalah saying there were no confirmed casualties. Paramedics treated an unspecified number of people who were en route to shelters and others who suffered anxiety, and responders are en route to sites of shrapnel to assess damage. Police and security officials are coordinating to isolate impact zones as four central Israel areas were identified as zones of fall, including Ramla, Holon, north Tel Aviv, and Bnei Brak, with no verified injuries reported at this time. Interceptions of the barrage occurred in central Israel within minutes of the launches, and a fire was reported in the central region in connection with the strike.

In US Military Role, President Donald Trump told NBC News that the United States may carry out additional strikes on Iran’s Kharg Island oil export hub, saying Tehran appears ready to make a deal but “the terms aren’t good enough yet.” He said US strikes had “totally demolished” most of Kharg Island and that more strikes “a few more times” could be conducted. He questioned whether Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is alive, suggesting he may not be, and added that if he is alive he should surrender. Trump said he is not ready to strike a deal because “the terms aren’t good enough yet.” He argued Iran’s remaining leverage is limited to mine activity or firing short-range missiles, and that once the shoreline is addressed, Iran’s power would be significantly reduced. He stated that “we’ve knocked out most of their missiles.”

In Regional Impacts, a drone strike caused a fire at the Lanaz refinery in Erbil, in the northern Iraqi city, with authorities saying operations remain suspended as the extent of damage is assessed. In Saudi Arabia, the Defense Ministry said several waves of Iranian missiles and drones were intercepted targeting the Eastern Region and Riyadh, and six ballistic missiles aimed at the Al Kharj Governorate were also intercepted. Noise was heard in Dubai, with official media attributing the sounds to successful air defense interceptions in the Marina and Al Sufouh areas. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the Strait of Hormuz is open to all ships except those from the United States and Israel, and he claimed many tankers are passing through. He also pushed back on reports about the Supreme Leader’s health, saying Mojtaba Khamenei is alive and carrying out his duties; the Turkish-speaking press noted that the United States and other nations planned to keep Hormuz open with naval presence. Israeli Home Front Command advised that civilians may leave the protected areas, and observers noted a fire in the central region connected to the latest strikes.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, minutes after the Iranian barrage, red alert sirens sounded in Metula following cross-border fire from Lebanon. The situation was accompanied by claims from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and reports of dramatic activity in the skies, including assertions that they attempted to shoot down an Israeli Air Force aircraft. The sequence underscores the broader tension along regional borders as proxies engage in ongoing exchanges amid the broader Iran-Israel confrontation.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, Dutch authorities were hunting two people suspected of setting off an explosion outside a Jewish school in Amsterdam’s Buitenveldert district. The mayor condemned the attack as a cowardly act against the city’s Jewish community, and City Hall said the blast caused only limited damage to the outer wall of the school.

In direct Israel-Iran clashes, Iran launched a ballistic missile at Central Israel at about 2.30am on Sunday, following an earlier wave aimed at a lat around 1.30am. The IDFS home front command sounded sirens across Central Israel, the Northern West Bank,

Elat, and the Arava. Initial reports indicate Shrapnel landed in Rishan late Sion, Rammel and Bune Brack, with Major David Adom and United Hatseller, saying there were no confirmed casualties. Paramedics treated an unspecified number of people who were en route to shelters, and others who suffered anxiety, and responders are en route to sites of Shrapnel to assess damage. This and security officials are coordinating to isolate impact zones, as four central Israel areas were identified as zones of fall, including Ramla, Hollon, North Tel Aviv, and Bune Brack, with no verified injuries reported at this time. Interceptions of the barrage occurred in Central Israel within minutes of the launches, and a fire was reported in the central region, in connection with the strike. In U.S. military role, President Donald Trump told NBC News that the United States may carry out additional strikes on Iran's Carg Island All Export Hub, saying Tehran appears ready to make a deal, but the terms aren't good enough yet. He said U.S. strikes had totally demolished, most of Carg Island and that more strikes,

a few more times could be conducted. He questioned whether Iranian supreme leader Majtaba Karmenei is alive, suggesting he may not be, and added that if he is alive he should surrender. Trump said he is not ready to strike a deal because the terms aren't good enough yet. He argued Iran's remaining leverage is limited to mine activity or firing short-range missiles, and that once the shoreline is addressed, Iran's power would be significantly reduced. He stated that we've knocked out most of their missiles. In regional impacts, a drone strike caused a fire at the Lanna's refinery in Erbil, in the northern Iraqi city, with authorities saying operations remain suspended as the extent of damage is assessed. In Saudi Arabia, the Defense Ministry said several waves of Iranian missiles and drones were intercepted targeting the eastern region and Riyadh, and six ballistic missiles aimed at the Al-Qarj governorate were also intercepted. Noise was heard in Dubai, with official media attributing the sounds to successful air defense interceptions in the Marina and Al-Sufar areas.

Iranian foreign minister Abbas Erakchi said the Strait of Hormuz is open to all ships except those from the United States and Israel, and he claimed many tankers are passing through. He also pushed back on reports about the Supreme Leader's health, saying Majtaba Kamene is alive and carrying out his duties. The Turkish-speaking press noted that the United States and other nations planned to keep Hormuz open with naval presence. Israeli home front command advised that civilians may leave the protected areas, and observers noted a fire in the central region connected to the latest strikes. In the conflict with Iran and its regional proxies, minutes after the Iranian barrage, Red Alert sirens sounded in Mehtullah following cross-border fire from Lebanon. The situation was accompanied by claims from Iran's revolutionary guards and reports of dramatic activity in the skies, including assertions that they attempted to shoot down an Israeli air force aircraft. The sequence underscores the broader tension along regional borders, as proxies engage in ongoing exchanges amid the broader Iran-Israel confrontation.
