I'm Noah Levi, and this is the latest Israel today, ongoing war report. In direct Israeli-run clashes, a launch from Iran has been identified, and defense analysts are weighing the implications. Dr. Uzi Rubin, a leading Israeli missile defense expert, warns that once a missile carries a cluster warhead and releases submunitions, stopping

1:00its full effect becomes unlikely. The only practical defense is intercepting the missile at high altitude before the payload opens. Because after the submunitions deploy, the threat is no longer a single target. In Iranian retaliation, Iran's foreign minister Abbas Erakchi said that so far Tehran has used only a small portion of its power in response to the Israeli strike on its infrastructure, and that the only reason for restraint is a respect for the request to de-escalate. He added that Iran will not remain restrained if its infrastructure is attacked again. In regional impacts, Qatar Energy's chief outlined the economic damage from the attacks on Iran's targets, noting that two of 14 LNG production units were damaged, and one of two gas cooling facilities was damaged. The disruption could result in about 17% of Qatar's LNG exports being lost for three to five years. With a force-majura declaration, expected in long-term contracts, and a 24% reduction in condensate exports, the annual revenue losses from the affected three plants

2:03are estimated around $20 billion, and the project's cost about $26 billion to build. Restoration of production hinges on an end to the attacks. In the conflict with Iran and its regional proxies, Lebanon's Jebren Basel, head of the free patriotic movement, urged neutrality as Hezbollah's rail clashes escalate. Warning that Hezbollah's actions and the broader conflict could split Lebanon and urging caution to shield the country from regional wars and internal strife. Israel has carried out a limited ground incursion into Lebanon. Hezbollah has increased rocket fire including long-range strikes, and Israel is reportedly prepared for a wider operation south of the Latani. Hezbollah maintains bases in southern Lebanon and in the Bikar Valley, and Lebanon's leaders have not moved to disarm the group, according to reports citing various outlets. Also in the same topic, Qatab Hezbollah signalled a possible pause in attacks on U.S. targets in Iraq if certain conditions are met, including Israel halting operations

3:04in Beirut, though the conditions make compliance unlikely. This would mark the first time an Iranian backed militia indicated a pause amid ongoing attacks by Iranian-backed groups in Iraq, which have targeted U.S. facilities in Baghdad and Erbil, and across the Kurdistan region as part of Tehran's regional posture. In Israeli domestic politics, an attorney and former military prosecutor is suspected of serious sexual offences, including rape and soliciting prostitution. With police alleging, he exploited female soldiers and young women by demanding sexual favors in exchange for legal assistance. Authorities say more than 50 women may have been victimized, and the investigation began after complaints by two soldiers. The suspect, Aiden Dever, denies the allegations, while his counsel argues the claims are misinterpreted, as investigators continue reviewing digital evidence and testimonies and consider additional charges.
