About this episode

HEADLINES
Israel Downs 90% of Drones, Beam Fails
Iran Strikes Saudi Base, Wounds US Troops
Missiles Hit Bahrain Border Facility, Unclear Damage

The time is now 9:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Operation Lion's Roar, the IAF has downed more than 90% of drones launched at Israel by Iran and its Lebanese proxy Hezbollah since the operation began late last month, the IDF said on Friday. The military said it uses several means to intercept enemy drones, ranging from air defenses like Iron Dome to attack helicopters, and that the high-energy Iron Beam laser system has not yet significantly reduced drone intrusions. The announcement comes amid reports that the United States can confirm destruction of around a third of Iran's drone fleet, and as the IDF reports hundreds of Hezbollah attacks in a 24-hour period. Gulf states have faced approximately 5,000 missile and drone attacks on energy facilities, civilian infrastructure, and maritime traffic, according to Gulf Cooperation Council officials. Separately, the IDF said it is currently striking Iranian terror regime targets across Tehran.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Who did we eliminate in Karaj? The report poses the question of who was eliminated in Karaj, with no further detail provided in the article.

In Iranian Retaliation, Iranian missiles and drones attacked Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, damaging several refueling aircraft. The Wall Street Journal, citing American and Saudi officials and open-source imagery, confirmed the strike, which wounded at least 10 US service members, with Reuters later reporting 12 wounded, two in critical condition; the Pentagon did not comment on the attack. The Saudi Defense Ministry said a ballistic missile targeting Riyadh was intercepted and destroyed mid-flight, and the United Arab Emirates Defense Ministry issued alerts about missiles and drones heading toward the country, with Bahrain also issuing alerts. In a separate Iranian missile barrage toward southern and central Israel late Friday, one man was killed and several others were injured, with police and emergency responders investigating shrapnel damage; early Saturday morning Israel intercepted a third round of Iranian missiles over southern Israel with no reported injuries.

In Regional Impacts, Arab sources reported missiles hitting a facility near the Bahrain border and a refinery facility at Afko, with no official confirmation yet on the extent of damage or casualties.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, IDF spokesperson Brigadier-General Effie Defrin warned that if the Lebanese government does not disarm Hezbollah, the IDF will. He said Hezbollah is still operating and attacking from southern Lebanon, risking Israeli and Lebanese civilians, and pointed to a podcast clip in which senior Hezbollah official Wafiq Safa acknowledged efforts to rebuild and strengthen capabilities over the past 15 months.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, former president Donald Trump said some allies weren’t there when needed, and that will be costly for them, adding that they were not there if needed. He also urged that Cuba could be next. He claimed Iran has another 3,554 targets left and they will be hit quickly, and that the Middle East is closer than ever to being free from Iranian terror and aggression. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev characterized American involvement in Iran as a catastrophic strategic mistake.
