About this episode
Iran Attacks South, Israel Strikes Tehran
Iran Fires Missiles At Diego Garcia Base
US Sanctions Hezbollah Finance Network
The time is now 12:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, reports say that for the third time tonight launches were identified from Iran toward the south, with further blasts reported toward the south and the Shfela region. The account notes that after strikes on Hezbollah targets in Beirut, Israeli forces carried out operations in Tehran as denials are described as crumbling. It also says American forces are on the way and that a war scenario is prepared, with references to a “war cabinet” in Iran being exposed. The piece mentions Mojtaba Khamenei praising killings of tens of thousands and a call to Ankara about missiles and aircraft of the Quds Force, and it asserts Iran is showing the strength of its Unit 9900.
In Iranian Retaliation, The Wall Street Journal reports that Iran fired two ballistic missiles at a joint US-UK military base at Diego Garcia, a distance of about 4,000 kilometers from Iran—far beyond the 2,000-kilometer range Iran’s foreign minister had cited last month. One missile reportedly failed in flight, and a US warship fired an interception at the other; officials say it has not been determined whether an interception occurred, and neither missile hit the base. Diego Garcia is described as a strategic Indian Ocean base hosting bombers, submarines, and destroyers. The report notes that Iran’s missile inventory is largely short- and medium-range, with long-range missiles in advanced development, according to Alma Research and Education Center.
In Regional Impacts, sirens were activated in the south, including Dimona, Yeruham, and the Dead Sea area, with launches toward the south and the Shfela region. The account reiterates that Hezbollah targets in Beirut were struck and that Israeli actions in Tehran are part of the broader confrontation, with references to American forces and a prepared scenario.
In US Policy Concerning Israel, the United States has imposed sanctions on individuals and entities tied to what it described as a global financial network supporting Hezbollah. The State Department said the measures aim to disrupt fundraising and money laundering activities carried out on behalf of Hezbollah’s finance team through companies and projects across the Middle East, Europe, and North America, with the goal of cutting off channels that help the Iran-backed group generate revenue and evade sanctions.
In Uplifting News, Passover marks more than freedom; it is described as the moment that forged Jewish nationhood and enduring identity, hardened through exile and return. The observance is described as a time when the Jewish people, gathered around Seder tables worldwide, reflect on liberation from slavery, the formation of a national identity, and the Torah’s role in shaping a people’s sense of collective belonging.

It also says American forces are on the way, and that a war scenario is prepared, with references to a war cabinet in Iran being exposed.

And it asserts Iran is showing the strength of its unit 99-0. In Iranian retaliation, the Wall Street Journal reports that Iran fired two ballistic missiles at a joint US-UK military base at Diego Garcia, a distance of about 4,000 km from Iran.
