About this episode
IDF urges Arak residents to evacuate now
Direct US-Iran talks sideline mediators reshaping diplomacy
Iron Net arrests 114 suspects nationwide
The time is now 10:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Operation Lion's Roar, the Israeli Defense Forces’ Persian-language spokesperson posted a warning on X urging residents in the northwestern part of the city of Arak and the nearby Khiyarabad industrial area to evacuate immediately from designated zones. The message says the Israeli army plans to act in the coming hours against Iranian regime military infrastructure in the area. The IDF stressed that civilian presence in the area endangers lives and urged the public to leave for their safety and health.
In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the war has reshaped diplomacy by sidelining the traditional intermediaries that once defined the Washington-Tehran dynamic. The piece notes that a month of fighting has degraded Iran’s air defenses and crippled parts of its military-industrial complex, while upending the diplomatic cast. Names once central to back-channel talks—Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Ali Larijani—and even long-standing mediators Oman and Qatar are described as being nudged aside as direct talks between Washington and Tehran emerge, complicating Tehran’s perception of these figures and potentially threatening the continuity of mediation in the region. Separately, residents near the Lebanon border in Metula report returning home despite ongoing Hezbollah threats, describing limited protective measures and continuing anxiety as some escape to breaks in nearby towns like Tiberias and Jerusalem to cope with the constant rocket sirens.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, a contentious opinion piece argues that Jewish extremist attacks in the West Bank threaten Israel’s legitimacy on the international stage amid its high-stakes war with Iran. It recalls Oct. 7, when kibbutzim were in flames and the IDF fought Hamas, and notes that protests spread to major Western capitals accusing Israel, with critics often framing Israel as an occupying power. The piece contends that the global response to Israel has differed in the context of Iran, suggesting that historical perceptions shape reactions and arguing that the broader international stance toward Israel shifts when the crisis centers on Iran rather than Hamas. Also in this topic, the authorities launched Operation Iron Net, a nationwide police campaign targeting those who incite violence and shootings in the Arab community. The operation spans all districts and the 433 unit, including arrests, restraining orders, searches, and the full use of available tools. To date, 114 suspects have been arrested, 226 searches conducted, and 73 individuals have been barred from conflict areas. Police leadership emphasizes a relentless, war-time effort to curb violence in the Arab sector, underscoring that technological tools and administrative orders are essential to protecting public safety as the campaign continues.
