About this episode
Drone swarm hits Tehran campus methanol plant
Iran hits Bahrain Oman Kuwait UAE
Israel strikes Lebanon kills Hezbollah commanders
The time is now 5:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Iran’s Tasnim news agency reports that the University of Tehran’s Science and Technology campus was attacked earlier this morning, with a drone swarm involved and alarms heard across the north. Israel’s forces also carried out a strike at a methanol production complex at Dayyer port in Bushehr province, hitting the dock servicing the plant and its control room. Overnight, Tehran was subjected to heavy airstrikes that targeted the main fuel facilities and the University of Science and Technology, with additional eliminations reported near Karaj and close to Mehrabad International Airport in Tehran.
In Iranian Retaliation, Iran struck last night at multiple targets in the region, including the energy facilities of the Bapco company in Bahrain and Salalah port in Oman with two UAVs. The attacks also extended to Kuwait’s oil field and targets in Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. In total, Iran was reported to have attacked Israel, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Oman in the latest strikes.
In US Military Role, the United States has fired more than 850 Tomahawk missiles over the past four weeks as part of its campaign related to Iran. The pace has raised concerns at the Pentagon about munitions stock levels and the need to replenish. A Washington Post report adds that stocks are running low and internal discussions are underway on how to restore capacity. Reports also indicate the United States has deployed BLU-91/B anti-tank land mines near Shiraz to hinder ballistic missile launchers, a move that has raised civilian-risk questions. Each Tomahawk missile is valued at about $3.6 million as the stock situation comes under scrutiny.
In Regional Impacts, Bahrain’s armed forces say they intercepted 20 missiles and 23 drones over the past 24 hours, underscoring the breadth of regional strikes and air defenses reacting to the broader conflict and shifting threat patterns across the Gulf.
In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Israeli forces conducted overnight strikes in Lebanon that killed two senior Hezbollah commanders and damaged dozens of Hezbollah sites nationwide. The targeted Beirut operation, carried out Friday, eliminated Ayyoub Hussein Yaacoub, a senior figure in Hezbollah’s Communications Unit who previously led activities in the rocket unit, and Yasser Mohammad Mubarak, another senior operative in the Communications Unit. Separately, overnight strikes on Hezbollah targets across southern Lebanon targeted weapons depots, launchers, and military infrastructure as part of efforts to degrade Hezbollah’s capabilities. Earlier, an Israeli officer was severely injured and six soldiers sustained moderate wounds from rocket fire targeting Israeli forces in southern Lebanon. A background briefing on the Houthis notes they are Iran-aligned and capable of threatening Gulf shipping; a missile launch from Yemen was detected, and the group has signaled readiness to act if escalation continues, highlighting potential disruption to maritime traffic around the Arabian Peninsula.
In US Policy Concerning Israel, President Trump told Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman that the time has come for normalization with Israel, signaling a push toward broader regional alignment with the Jewish state.
In Uplifting News, researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have found that Israel’s “Stonehenge,” the Rujm el-Hiri site, is not alone. Satellite imagery reveals at least 28 additional sites within 25 kilometers of Rujm el-Hiri that share a similar design: large circular structures from 50 to 250 meters in diameter built with locally sourced basalt stones. The findings, published in PLOS One, suggest an extensive architectural tradition in the proto-historic Levant dating roughly 3,500 to 6,500 years.
