In direct Israeli-run clashes, additional launches were identified toward the central region and Jerusalem. With reports of further fire toward the south and the S.H. fellow, Israel says it has struck targets of Hezbollah in Beirut. The reporting notes that American forces are moving toward the region and that a war scenario is ready, with indications of a hardened Iranian posture, including references to Iran's leadership and to the quid's forces specialized unit 9-9-0. In Iranian retaliation, Iran fired two ballistic missiles at a joint US-U.K. base on Diego Garcia, about 4,000 kilometers from Iran. One missile failed in flight and a US warship fired an interception at the other. It remains unclear whether the second was successfully intercepted and no damage or casualties have been reported.

2:03Diego Garcia's distance underscores the reach claimed for Iran's missiles. While assessment of Iran's inventory notes a mix of short and medium-range missiles, with long-range systems reported to be in advance development, a separate report in the same vein says the launch was intercepted and no casualties were reported. In the conflict with Iran and its regional proxies, sirens were heard in the south and in the Gaza envelope as intermittent rocket fire continues. The Israeli military also struck Hezbollah targets in Beirut, with an evacuation warning issued to residents in several Beirut southern suburbs ahead of the operations. A drone strike targeted the US Victoria base complex near Baghdad International Airport, most likely carried out by Iran-backed groups in Iraq. In US policy concerning Israel, Germany has pulled support for Israel in a genocide case at the International Court of Justice, saying its own ICJ case requires careful handling, and that it cannot intervene as it could compromise its position. The move comes as South Africa filed the case against Israel in December 2023.

3:08A Nicaragua later joined, with a separate ICJ action, accusing Germany of assisting Israel. In antisemitism and anti-Jewish hate, California lawmakers are proposing buffer zones around houses of worship to limit protests near synagogues. AB 2664, dubbed the Safe Worship Zone Bill, would establish a 100-foot buffer around entrances, with protesters prohibited from approaching congregants within eight feet without consent. Advocates cite a rise in antisemitism and protests outside synagogues, noting survey data that a notable share of Jewish Americans do not feel safe attending Jewish institutions. In uplifting news, Providence, Rhode Island, marked a milestone as its mayor and the former mayor and congressman celebrated a bar mitzvah together. Mayor Brett Smiley and former Mayor David Sisseline joined 11 other adults in Hebrew study and tore our portions over 16 months, culminating in a ceremony at Temple Baytell. Smiley, raised in a Protestant family, converted to Judaism in 2024, and the event highlighted the support of Providence's Jewish community
