The time is now 102pm in New York. I'm Noah Levi and this is the latest Israel today, ongoing war report. In Operation Lion's Raw, the Navy says last night's strike on Iranian naval vessels marks a significant shift. Five Iranian ships were destroyed, the shipyard building the vessels was hit, and the Navy's command headquarters was struck. Some ships were outside the home port at the time.

1:02Enable officials said submarines are operating continuously and do not stand down. The report also notes that two individuals, C-H-Watt and Al-Nil, were killed in a strike in Thailand. Paris pressures, Lebanon signals and signals of a dramatic diplomatic breakthrough were cited as part of the international backdrop to the conflict. In direct Israel-Iran clashes, Israel has made notable progress against Iran's missile launchers. There is disagreement within the IDF about the extent. One top IDF source said the Air Force destroyed, or neutralized about 75% of Iran's, roughly 470 missile launchers. Another senior IDF source said the figure is closer to 60%, the reduction in missile fire has been sharp, from about 100 missiles per day to around 20, and on some days as few as four or five. The IDF has acknowledged the challenge of precisely estimating how many launchers remain, wherein reports of credited Beijing with helping Iran rebuild its ballistic missile apparatus.

2:03Though Israeli officials say Iran's military power has been set back years. The Mossad has warned China to think carefully about aiding Iran. Israel's air war has produced vast activity since the start of the conflict, including about 12,000 bombs dropped, with roughly 36-0 in the Tehran region. Some 540 fighter jet waves directed at Central and Western Iran, and about 57-0 sorties overall. In Lebanon about 22, zero bombs fell on Hezbollah targets across roughly 1,000 sorties, with hundreds of targets tracked or attacked. In the first week of the war, Iranian security forces were reportedly killed at Azadi Stadium, as part of the broader campaign, which US and Israeli analysts describe as the opening phase of a broader effort that included a widely publicized early strike plan, known as Fortominus Fortominus Forty. In Iranian retaliation, IDF sources warn that Iran's military power has been set back years in virtually every area, though there is no certainty that the strikes will be

3:05enough to trigger a regime change. A security official said 887 missiles were launched from Iran, with 285 crossing into Israel, and more than 90 percent of them were intercepted. Missiles have been aimed toward Central Israel, as authorities continue to monitor the threat. An update reported a fourth Palestinian woman, who was pregnant, killed near Hebron in yesterday's Iranian regime missile fire. Red alert sirens were heard in northern Israel, as missiles continued to be fired. The IRGC released footage claiming to show air defenses, striking a USF-35 over Central Iran at dawn, though independent verification remains unconfirmed. India reports indicated an F-35 was damaged and made an emergency landing at a US base in the region, with the pilot in stable condition and the incident under investigation. In US military role, reports describe a USF-35 performing an emergency landing after a combat mission over Iran.

4:07A senior American official indicated the pilot received medical treatment and is in stable condition. On the political side, a statement from President Trump about military funding emphasized the strength of the US armed forces, noting a recent episode in which rockets were shot down and framing the cost as a small price for maintaining a top-tier military position. In the conflict with Iran and its regional proxies, military actions continued with parallel security measures, as northern Israel experienced sirens, tied to launches from Lebanon. With intercepts accompanying those alerts as part of ongoing hostilities across the region, in US policy concerning Israel, US intelligence leader Tulsi Gabbard said American and Israeli war aims in Iran are not identical. The United States is focused on destroying Iran's ballistic missile program and its navy, while Israel emphasizes disabling Iran's leadership. President Trump has spoken about regional defense arrangements, including remarks on

5:07Hormuz and NATO's role in protecting the straits, suggesting a divergence between US and European approaches to security in the area. In Israeli domestic politics, a new poll from the Times of Israel's Hebrew language site shows Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar Party rising to become the second-largest party for the first time, overtaking Naftali Bennett's party and trailing only Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Lecude, with Eisenkot listed at 16 seats, up from 1215 in recent weeks.
