About this episode
Lebanese missiles trigger Israel's northern alert
THAAD stockpile drained, years to replenish
Taiwan fears China exploits US distraction
The time is now 7:02 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Operation Lion's Roar, dozens of missiles were fired toward northern Israel from Lebanon, triggering sirens across the country and marking a tense overnight period described as two and a half hours of high alert. The report notes the death of Nouriel Dubin, z”l, in Hezbollah firing and speaks of ongoing tension around Iran, with references to upheaval there and concerns that a third factor entered the picture after a period of quiet as Hezbollah continued to mount attacks on northern communities.
In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, sirens sounded across large parts of Israel after Iran launched several ballistic missiles, with some damage reported but no injuries. A fire near Hadera followed a suspected impact by missile fragments, though the Israel Electric Corporation later said its infrastructure in the region sustained no damage. Magen David Adom teams treated at least seven sites of suspected shrapnel impacts across central Israel, with no injuries reported. Earlier in the north, air defenses chased and intercepted a drone over the Upper and Lower Galilee after about a 30-minute patrol. A separate, unverified claim circulating in the report suggests Putin halted visits to the Kremlin following the killing of Iran’s leadership figure, with assertions that Iran faces pressure from an operation attributed to the Mossad. The day also saw renewed sirens in central Israel.
In US Military Role, a new Congress study warns that US interceptor stockpiles for THAAD have been significantly drawn down by the current conflict, risking a lengthy replenishment period. The analysis notes that roughly a third of the THAAD stockpile has been used during Operation Epic Fury, with about 92 interceptions reported out of an estimated 632 interceptors in service. It points to a limited annual production rate of around 100 interceptors and cautions that replenishing the stockpile could take three to eight years, illustrating a persistent challenge for future deployments and readiness.
In Regional Impacts, Taiwan fears China may exploit the United States’ distraction amid the Middle East war, with a senior security official describing China’s move as an effort to flex influence while Washington reallocates forces in the Indo-Pacific. The report notes China’s resumed large-scale air incursions near Taiwan since mid-March, part of a broader strategy to create leverage as US forces shift focus. Iran has asserted it will allow non-hostile ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, a claim presented in coverage of regional shipping dynamics. Separately, FPV drone footage released by Iraqi militias shows incursions inside the US Victoria Base in Baghdad, including footage of radar systems being identified and targeted before a strike on a UH-60M Black Hawk helicopter.
In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Israel’s military campaign expands in Lebanon as two additional brigades join the fight, with the IDF reporting progress across multiple fronts. The army says it has eliminated roughly 700 terrorists and struck about 70% of designated targets, while continuing strikes on Tehran’s military industries and Hezbollah infrastructure in Lebanon. On the Lebanese front, the IDF emphasizes protecting northern communities, pushing back direct rocket threats, and conducting civilian evacuations and weapons clearance around the Litani River. Lebanese sources claim Israeli forces are destroying buildings in the village of Taybeh (Tiba) near the border with Israel, and a volley of about 10 missiles is reported to have been fired from Lebanon.
In US Policy Concerning Israel, Iranian sources relayed to Reuters indicate that Pakistan transmitted the American proposal to end the fighting and that discussions are underway about where to hold the talks.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, the High Court of Justice will hear on Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. a case challenging budget transfers to haredi educational networks, centering on a December 25, 2025 Finance Committee transfer involving education funds, including money directed to haredi institutions. The Knesset Legal Department argues the Finance Ministry acted unlawfully by advancing most funds before committee approval, and that lawmakers were not clearly told they were effectively being asked to ratify funds already disbursed. The petitions were brought by Hiddush and Democrats MK Naama Lazimi and were heard together with a parallel petition by Yesh Atid lawmakers. In the petitioners’ latest filing, Lazimi asserts new points ahead of the hearing. Separately, Prime Minister Netanyahu will hold a narrow security discussion tonight, followed by a session of the National Security Cabinet.
In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, London police say two men, aged 47 and 45, have been arrested in connection with an antisemitic arson attack on four Jewish community ambulances in north London. No injuries were reported, and CCTV footage indicates at least three people were involved. Investigators say the probe continues, with an enhanced police presence around affected communities, amid broader concerns about antisemitism and alleged Iranian sympathy for such acts.
In Uplifting News, Shaare Zedek Medical Center explains how it is managing thousands of births during wartime by relocating key maternity services—delivery rooms, triage areas, and operating rooms—to fortified underground complexes to ensure continuous care for mothers and babies.
