About this episode
Shamkhani Headless Body Buried Amid Strikes
Centcom Video B-52 Heads Toward Iran
Iran Hit by 1,480 Strikes Shelters Open
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, an Iranian state-linked newspaper reports that the body of Ali Shamkhani, the regime’s senior political adviser killed in an Israeli strike, was buried without a head, raising questions about who took the head. The report also describes heavy airstrikes targeting the Islamic Republic’s positions in Golestan-e Shohada and the Army Aviation Corps in Isfahan, with claims that American and Israeli air power in Iran’s skies has reached a level where fighter-bomber aircraft operate at very low altitude over targets. A separate account cites dramatic figures tied to a Trump-era claim, describing nearly 1,500 strike sorties, thousands of bombs and missiles destroyed, hundreds of missile launchers taken out, and thousands of people reported injured, signaling intense pressure on the Iranian leadership.
In US Military Role, Defense Minister Israel Katz described the war as entering a decisive phase, saying the conflict is shaped by an overwhelming and relentless American and Israeli assault on the Iranian regime. He framed the choice as the regime’s bid to survive against growing hardship, with surrender as the alternative, and urged that only the Iranian people can end the conflict through determined effort. Centcom released footage tonight showing the B-52 strategic bomber on its way to an operation in Iran, underscoring ongoing American activity.
In Regional Impacts, data compiled by the Emirati outlet Aram News indicate that since the start of the war, roughly 1,480 airstrikes have targeted facilities across Iran, with about 7,500 bombs and precision munitions delivered. Reporters say 260 missile launchers were destroyed and about 80 air-defense systems taken out of service, with major activity around Tehran, western Iran and Mashhad. Authorities say people can leave shelters nationwide, though some defensive measures remain, and sirens have been heard in Acre and other communities, with continued alerts in southern areas and in border zones with Lebanon.
In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Lebanese sources report significant Israeli activity in Al-Hayyaam in southern Lebanon, with Al-Jadeed citing field sources that Israel is seeking a firm hold in the center of Al-Hayyaam and is intensifying airstrikes and artillery fire; sources aligned with Hezbollah also confirm Israeli presence inside Al-Hayyaam. Sirens sounded across northern and southern Israel after what appeared to be limited launches from Iran and Lebanon, with alerts in the Krayot, Negev and Judea regions and no immediate reports of impacts in the south.
In Uplifting News, a tribute from a mother describes Captain Elad Siman-Tov, who grew up in scouts in the Shomron and volunteered for the Golani Brigade to defend the people. On October 7, while a candidate for officer training, he left the course to join the front, saving lives, leading fighters in battles in Gaza and Lebanon, and charging first in close combat during the evening of Sukkot. He was wounded but continued to fight until he fell. In his memory, his family is establishing the Siman Farm, a therapeutic space for veterans, the wounded, and families who have lost loved ones, built on a foundation of land, healing, and resilience, and they are seeking support to keep his memory alive.
