Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - Update from 2026-03-22 at 08:02

About this episode

HEADLINES
Iran escalates missile fire toward Tel Aviv
Israel targets Litani bridges in Lebanon
Philippines allows Euro II fuel supply

The time is now 8:02 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, sirens and alarms continued to echo across northern communities as fresh rounds of fire unfolded. Reports describe ongoing rocket and artillery activity with new alerts in Metulla and Misgav. Ofer Moskowitz, known as “Fushko,” was killed by a missile strike, a development noted with solemn detail in the coverage. Iran has stepped up the tempo of its launches toward Israel, with multiple asserted strike zones around the Tel Aviv metropolitan area. There are discussions in the reporting about the rationale behind intensified missile attacks on urban centers and, separately, details tied to espionage incidents involving a reserve soldier from the Iron Dome unit. Alarms were also reported in Eilat.

In Regional Impacts, regional responses to the crisis are shaping energy and security decisions. The Philippines has temporarily allowed the limited use of Euro-II fuel to help maintain a continuous and accessible fuel supply, restricting this to older-model vehicles, traditional jeepneys, power plants and generators, and certain marine and shipping sectors, while requiring segregation of Euro-II from Euro-IV fuels in storage, transport, and retail systems. Manila had previously shifted to Euro-IV fuels, which carry far lower sulfur content. In Jordan, a missile fragment fell in the Wadi Saqra area of central Amman during Eid prayers, with security and emergency teams securing the site and urging residents to avoid handling any suspicious objects. Officials described the fragment as interception debris linked to ongoing Iranian missile activity in the region. Iran renewed ballistic missile fire toward central Israel and Jerusalem, drawing Jordan deeper into the conflict, as hundreds of missiles and drones have been directed at Jordan over three weeks of fighting; the Royal Jordanian Air Force has shot down most of them, with a portion getting through. Civil authorities urged continued vigilance as the situation unfolds.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, leaders and military planners spoke to ongoing operations along the Lebanon border and in surrounding areas. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz instructed the IDF to destroy all bridges over the Litani River used for terrorist activity and to accelerate the destruction of Lebanese homes in contact-line villages to neutralize threats to Israeli communities, while allowing southern Lebanon residents to evacuate northward toward the Litani for their protection. The IDF reported that the Israeli Air Force had previously struck the Zarieh Bridge over the Litani as part of actions against Hezbollah. An Arabic-language IDF spokesperson stated the Air Force’s intention to strike the Alqasmiya Bridge over the Litani on the Lebanese coast road. In parallel, Lebanese leadership voiced frustration with the war, with one figure insisting Lebanon did not seek this conflict and that Iran must bear responsibility and provide compensation for the losses endured. Yesterday, the Israeli Air Force and fighters from Division 91, Reconnaissance Unit 869 identified several armed terrorists approaching the area where forces operate in southern Lebanon and eliminated them. The IDF’s Arabic spokesperson also reiterated the plan to strike the last bridge on the Litani—the coastal road bridge—by the Air Force.

In Uplifting News, Israeli filmmakers and artists reflect on shared history amid the current tensions. Monument, a new feature film opening in theaters in the United States, tells a true story about Israeli architects tasked with building a monument to honor South Lebanese Army soldiers who were killed in the first Lebanon War. The film features Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight in a leading role and is noted for offering perspective on past events as today’s missiles continue to fall on Israel. Reviewers describe strong elements rooted in a powerful real story, even as some dialogue and character exchanges feel imperfect within the broader narrative.
