0:00Access to affordable credit helps me pay my employees, but I don't really need it. Inflation is killing me! Who cares? Big retailers are making record profits! That's why we support the Durban Marshall Credit Card Bill! See? Things in credit unions help small businesses make payroll. This bill would cut the vital resources they need. While increasing Megastore profits. They deserve it. Don't they? No Congress, stop the Durban Marshall money grab for corporate megastores. Paid for it by the Electronic Payments Coalition. The time is now 6.01 am in New York. I'm Noah Levi and this is the latest Israel today. Ongoing war report. In Operation Lion's Raw. The IDF has recently begun a wide wave of attacks against the infrastructure of the Iranian terror regime in western Iran. The campaign reflects an intensifying phase in the conflict with Tehran. With military actions focused on disrupting Iranian capabilities and networks in the region.

1:05In direct Israel-Iran clashes. An audio recording circulating from a Tehran district. Shows a baseage commander urging troops not to panic during drone attacks and not to abandon their posts. As Israeli pressure on baseage and IRGC checkpoints in the capital grows. Residents report an uptick in baseage members not reporting for duty out of fear of being targeted. The commander describes a heron TP drone capable of staying aloft for up to 16 hours and delivering eight cluster missiles. And he says drones are being used to identify gathering points. And to reveal locations via mobile phones. Reports indicate missiles fired at central Israel. And a tailat have been intercepted. With red alerts and warnings issued as authorities identify launches from Iran and prepare for further alerts. Advanced warnings and identified launches have prompted sirens and preemptive guidance for central Israel. Including notices sent to mobile devices in the central and Samaria regions. In U.S. military role.

2:05The U.S. Army has awarded annual industries, a contract worth up to $20 billion to integrate advanced commercial technologies. Into a unified AI-driven defense system focused on counter drone operations. The effort will consolidate lattice. An open architecture AI platform that fuses real-time data from sensors, platforms and command tools into a single operating picture. With work extending through March 2036. Separately, Israeli and American warplanes conducted strikes against Iranian cities Hamden and Desfel. As protesters and regime supporters voiced hostility in the streets. While Isfahan was described as affected by heavy Israeli-US airstrikes this morning. In regional impacts. Authorities report that following launches toward central Israel. There have been no reported injuries so far. Though emergency teams are sweeping affected areas. Rescue crews are scanning for possible damage or casualties from sub munitions or shrapnel. And observers note that some missiles are believed to have carried cluster warheads.

3:07Sirens have sounded in central Israel and in the ALAT area. With alarms activated to mobilize residents and direct them to protected spaces. As warnings continue and the front lines shift. In antisemitism and anti-Jewish hate. Iranian bots are spreading anti-Israel propaganda on social media. With a Clemson University report identifying dozens of fake accounts tied to Iran's IRGC. In uplifting news. Volunteer medics from Major David Adom are keeping Israel's emergency care system running under missile attack. Globalizing volunteers. Receiving advanced training. And fortifying infrastructure to respond rapidly. MDA leaders emphasize that medics continue to operate from inside communities. Going out from shelters to assist others. Even as ballistic missiles and drones strike cities. In Bat Yam, a frontline response unit faced a direct hit. But pressed on to treat residents. Illustrating the force of preparation and resilience. That supports national emergency response during wartime.
