About this episode

HEADLINES
Iran Launches Ballistic Missiles at Central Israel
Iran Vows Ukraine Strike Over Drones
US Mulls Strikes on Kharg Island

The time is now 10:02 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 toward central Israel at approximately 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, following an earlier wave targeting Eilat around 1:30 a.m. The IDF’s Home Front Command prompted sirens across central Israel, the northern West Bank, Eilat, and the Arava as the launches unfolded. Initial reports said shrapnel landed in Rishon Lezion, Ramle, and Bnei Brak, with Magen David Adom and United Hatzalah saying there were no direct casualties. Paramedics treated an unspecified number of people en route to shelters and others experiencing anxiety; two elderly civilians, about 80 years old, were reported to have received care for cuts from glass and smoke inhalation. United Hatzalah said responders were en route to shrapnel sites to assess, and Tel Aviv District Police were deployed to assist in first-response operations. Footage showed a fire in Ramla in the wake of the strike, and there were reports of a ballistic missile impact in Tel Aviv after the launches.

In Iranian Retaliation, Iran has threatened to strike Ukraine, days after Kyiv reportedly sent military experts to the Middle East to help Gulf countries defend against Iranian drone attacks. Ibrahim Azizi, head of Iran’s parliamentary national security committee, said Ukraine had effectively become involved in the war by providing drone support to Israel and warned that the move had turned “its entire territory into a legitimate target for Iran.”

In US Military Role, US President Donald Trump said on NBC News that the United States may carry out more 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 claimed the strikes had “totally demolished” most of Kharg Island and suggested more strikes “just for fun.” He also questioned whether Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is alive, calling rumors about his fate and urging action if he is alive, while saying he is not ready to strike a deal because the terms are not satisfactory. CENTCOM released footage of a B-52H Stratofortress taking off for strikes against Iran. The US Department of Defense identified six servicemembers killed in Thursday’s KC-135 Stratotanker crash in Western Iraq, following a mid-air collision while supporting Operation Epic Fury: Major John A. Klinner, Captain Ariana G. Savino, Tech. Sergeant Ashley B. Pruitt; Captain Seth R. Koval, Captain Curtis J. Angst, Tech. Sergeant Tyler H. Simmons.

In Regional Impacts, a drone strike caused a fire at the Lanaz refinery in Erbil, northern Iraq, with authorities containing the blaze and suspending operations pending assessment. Saudi Arabia intercepted several waves of Iranian missiles and drones targeting the Eastern Region and Riyadh, and six ballistic missiles targeting Al Kharj were intercepted; Dubai’s official media reported air-defense interceptions in the Marina and Al Sufouh areas. In Israel, emergency responders treated two elderly civilians in Holon, around 80 years old, for injuries from shattered glass and smoke inhalation, with several people at the scene also reported as distressed. Footage documented the shrapnel fall zone in central Israel, while a separate report noted four fall zones in central Ramla, Holon, North Tel Aviv, and Bnei Brak with no reported injuries. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the Strait of Hormuz is open to all ships except US and Israeli vessels, asserting security concerns are not tied to Iran, and that many tankers are currently passing through. He dismissed reports of disruptions to leadership or policy, while a separate international overview noted heightened rhetoric as the United States indicated continued involvement in the region.
