About this episode

HEADLINES
- Israel Iran War Escalates as Hezbollah Attacks
- Nahariya Missile Kills Uri Peretz
- India Russia Deepens Energy Ties Amid Conflict

The time is now 6:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, nearly a month into Operation Roaring Lion, Israel’s military campaign against Iran continues to escalate even as diplomatic efforts appear increasingly uncertain. The IDF has struck thousands of targets since the start of the operation, including key intelligence and military infrastructure. Israeli officials report a significant degradation in Iran’s missile capabilities, though continued barrages suggest the threat remains far from neutralized. The emotional toll and casualties Israel has taken are evident as missile strikes have hit civilian areas, including in Arad and Dimona. Tensions have expanded beyond Iran, with Israeli forces targeting positions linked to Hezbollah in southern Lebanon amid reports that the Lebanese army failed to disarm the group. Rocket fire from Lebanon into northern Israel has intensified, prompting discussions within Israel about a broader strategic shift. On the diplomatic front, a US-backed proposal aimed at ending the conflict has stalled, with reports that it called on Iran to halt uranium enrichment and cease support for regional proxies, demands Tehran rejected.

In US Military Role, IDF reports ‘significant’ progress against Iranian military targets as the campaign enters its fourth week. Data tracked by the IDF continues to show joint operational success by Israeli and American forces in heavily suppressing the volume of Iranian ballistic missile fire, marking a notable shift in the campaign’s dynamics as both sides press their efforts.

In Regional Impacts, the US-Iran confrontation is shaping broader regional dynamics. India and Russia are deepening energy cooperation, with discussions that could see Russia resume direct LNG sales to India and potentially increase crude shipments, as both countries coordinate around energy needs and sanctions considerations. The talks come amid elevated energy prices tied in part to the wider conflict surrounding Iran and Israel. Reports from the region also note ongoing security strain closer to home: in northern Israel and neighboring areas, emergency and military authorities have signaled continuing vigilance, with new targets under consideration as air operations in the area persist. A tragic development in Nahariya is reported, with Uri Peretz killed by a missile strike and around 25 people evacuated to hospital. Investigations are also being pursued into the death of Yehuda Sherman near Homesh in a vehicle-ramming incident, reflecting the broader human toll of the rising tensions.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, despite early Israeli and US claims, Iran and Hezbollah intensify fire and shift tactics. Data shows both adversaries continuing sustained attacks, adapting strike patterns and inflicting casualties and damage across Israel, underscoring the evolving nature of the conflict and the challenges for regional security. Separately, in southern Lebanon, an IDF officer and a combatant were severely injured in an operational accident during clashes, with both evacuated for medical treatment and families notified as the incident is addressed.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, hundreds of Diaspora leaders call for action against ‘Jewish-extremist terror in the West Bank.’ More than 1,000 Diaspora Jews have petitioned Israeli President Isaac Herzog to intervene against settler violence in the West Bank, calling the violence an abomination and stating it is not only morally shameful but a strategic threat to Israel’s future. The letter, organized by The London Initiative, says the violence is being condoned by the government and represents a danger to world Jewry and Israel’s relationships with world Jewry. In a separate profile, Leili Tavasoli of Melbourne is described as an Iranian-Australian who opposes Iran’s regime but also promotes antisemitic tropes and anti-Jewish rhetoric, illustrating how opposition to one regime can intersect with hostile messaging toward others.

In Uplifting News, My Word: Israel, happy to be here, notes that Israel ranks eighth in the World Happiness Report 2026, maintaining a top-10 position for the second consecutive year. The ranking, based on a three-year average from 2023-2025, comes even as the country faced significant security challenges. The report is produced by Gallup, the Oxford Wellbeing Research Centre, and the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network and reflects perceptions of well-being across dozens of nations, situating Israel in a positive light amid ongoing regional tensions.
