About this episode

HEADLINES
Iran-Israel clash deepens as missiles intercepted
B-52 strikes on Iran mark night escalation
Hormuz crisis drives oil prices higher worldwide

The time is now 2:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, a missile fired from Iran toward southern Israel was intercepted, with no casualties reported. Iranian sources suggest the regime may be nearing collapse, and the Revolutionary Guards are quoted as saying, “if this happens — we lost the war.” There are accounts of the Guards attempting to shoot down an Israeli Air Force aircraft, and observers note a mounting crisis between Iran and its regional proxies, including the Houthis. Since midnight, six launches from Iran toward the south have been identified, with a further southern-directed launch detected and alarms sounding as additional launches are tracked.

In US Military Role, explosions were reported across major Iranian cities as the United States confirmed B-52 strategic bombers took part in strikes on Iran as part of Operation Epic Fury during a night mission. Eyewitnesses described powerful blasts near southern Tehran, with additional reports of explosions near Shiraz airport and a base in the area, and large smoke plumes rising from Jask Port. Isfahan reportedly showed the aftereffects in video circulating online, while CENTCOM publicly affirmed that the B-52s participated in the night-time strikes.

In Regional Impacts, President Trump urged other nations to deploy warships to help protect world oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, which remains largely blocked by the Iranian threat. Tehran’s attacks and related threats have constrained shipping through Hormuz, pushing oil prices higher and destabilizing regional markets. Reports also described blasts in Bahrain’s capital Manama and smoke from a major oil terminal in Fujairah, while US security sources said the US embassy in Iraq was struck by a drone. The United States has ordered government employees and their families to leave Oman due to safety risks.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, one of the pro-Iran militias in Iraq reports eight members killed in an attack on the border with Syria last week. A missile fired from Lebanon toward the center of Israel was intercepted, with no casualties reported by emergency responders. The Lebanon-related developments are accompanied by ongoing alerts as Hezbollah continues to fire rockets, with red alert sirens reported in central Israel.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, the ruling coalition’s current legislative blitz is drawing criticism that it is harming the integrity of the lawmaking process as hostilities intensify and public attention shifts to security concerns.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, an editorial on the Detroit synagogue attack argues that violence against Jewish communities cannot be justified and calls for a clear, horror-filled response to such acts. In Ramla, police are investigating a fire at a synagogue complex and a nearby food-distribution warehouse, with investigators examining whether the blaze was fueled by nationalist or ethnic motives, as fire and police teams gather evidence.

In Israeli Economy and Business, Rafael says planned experiments at the David Institute in Kiryat will take place in the morning, and interested listeners may hear noise as demonstrations are conducted under controlled conditions.
