    HEADLINESIsrael fires 14th strike on Tehran infrastructureUS strikes Shahid Bagheri; probes school attackUAE to freeze Iranian assets amid tensionsThe time is now 12:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Operation Lion's Roar, the IDF spokesperson says a 14th airstrike wave has begun, targeting the infrastructure of the Iranian terror regime in Tehran, with a broad new campaign now underway.In US Military Role, US Central Command released footage of a strike on Iran’s 240-meter drone carrier Shahid Bagheri, described as loaded with UAVs, helicopters, attack boats and advanced defense systems. Separately, US military investigators believe it is likely that US forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school that killed dozens of children, though they have not yet reached a final conclusion and the investigation continues; the Pentagon has denied targeting civilians, and details on the munition, responsibility, or reasons for the strike have not been disclosed.In Regional Impacts, the United Arab Emirates is considering freezing Iranian assets on its territory, according to the Wall Street Journal, with UAE officials conveying the threat to Iranians in talks between the parties.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, an editorial notes that Iran handed its neighbors a lesson they didn’t ask for and cannot unlearn, arguing that Gulf states are now aligning more clearly against Tehran as missiles have delivered a stark, clarifying message about regional dynamics and the limits of ambiguity. Separately, several dozen IRGC officers have fled Beirut over the past 48 hours, fearing Israeli strikes, with Hezbollah warning Israelis near the border to evacuate and Lebanese authorities taking steps that could restrict Iranian personnel and entry regulations.In US Policy Concerning Israel, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a 30-day permit allowing Indian refineries to purchase oil from Russia to mitigate potential disruptions to Gulf imports caused by the war. Also, Republican Senator Tim Sheehy of Montana helped Capitol Police forcibly remove a protester who shouted “No one wants to fight for Israel” during a Senate hearing, with the protester later claiming injury on social media and authorities saying protests are not allowed inside Congressional buildings.In Israeli Domestic Politics, an editorial argues that Netanyahu deserves credit for Israel’s recent success against Iran, but accountability remains and leadership must translate military gains into a durable strategy, noting Netanyahu’s long focus on Iran since the 1990s and the broad support from allied intelligence and defense communities in achieving the outcome.In Israeli Economy and Business, a long-form analysis contends that Dubai has been Iran’s financial oxygen for forty years, a conduit for moving funds despite sanctions, and that closing it required UAE cooperation the UAE has resisted for sovereign reasons; the UAE is now said to be considering providing it, a shift that would have significant implications for Iran’s access to global finance and for regional sanctions enforcement as described by the analysis and reported by the Wall Street Journal.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

    HEADLINESUS Probes Minab School Strike for InvolvementDrone Attack Thwarted at Al Udeid BaseBeirut IRGC Advisers Flee Amid Escalation FearsThe time is now 11:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In US Military Role, US military investigators say it is likely American forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls’ school in Minab, southern Iran, that killed dozens of children, though the investigation has not reached a final conclusion and details such as the munition used or who carried out the strike have not been disclosed. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth acknowledged the inquiry, and officials cautioned that new evidence could emerge that points to another party or absolves the United States. The attack occurred on the first day of US and Israeli actions inside Iran. Separately, Australia’s prime minister said three Royal Australian Navy submariners were aboard the US fast-attack submarine identified as the USS Charlotte, a Los Angeles-class submarine, which CBS News identified as having sunk the Iranian IRIS Dena, a Moudge-class frigate, in international waters off Sri Lanka on March 4. Other entries in this block reiterate that the US probe has not concluded and note continued debate over who was responsible and what evidence is guiding the assessment.In Regional Impacts, Qatar’s Defense Ministry said a drone attack on the Al Udeid Air Base, the largest US base in the Middle East, was thwarted. Saudi Arabia said it intercepted three ballistic missiles launched toward Prince Sultan Air Base, about 100 kilometers southeast of Riyadh, and later reported intercepting at least two drones in the Al Kharj Governorate and the Eastern Region. Bahrain reported damage in Manama from an Iranian strike that targeted a hotel and two residential buildings, with no reported loss of life. Qatar also said it intercepted a drone attack aimed at Al Udeid Air Base. Etihad Airways announced limited commercial flights between March 6 and 19 to a handful of destinations as part of a resumed schedule, and foreign ministers of participating Gulf states were engaged in discussions on regional security and de‑escalation efforts.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, several dozen officers from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, most of them from the Quds Force serving as advisers to Hezbollah, have fled Beirut over the past 48 hours amid heightened fears of Israeli strikes. Israeli defense officials and other sources have noted the risk of escalation, and Lebanese officials have discussed potential restrictions on IRGC activity in Lebanon. In Iraq, Iranian Kurdish opposition groups say they are prepared to enter Iran but not soon, urging the United States and Israel to apply pressure to weaken the regime first.In US Policy Concerning Israel, President Donald Trump spoke with Time Magazine about the ongoing confrontation with Iran, acknowledging that Americans should be concerned about retaliatory attacks at home while noting that such threats are anticipated and planned for as the conflict continues. He said the operation is a priority and that, while prices at the pump may rise, they would eventually fall “very rapidly when this is over.” Trump emphasized that the Iran campaign takes precedence over short-term energy costs and said the administration is working to address energy concerns with industry leaders. In a separate exchange, Trump rejected the notion of a ground invasion of Iran, calling it a waste of time and asserting that Iran has already lost a great deal.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

    HEADLINESIsrael targets Tehran, Iran hits Tel AvivUS sinks Iranian warship off Sri LankaIRGC officers flee Beirut amid Israeli threatsThe time is now 9:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, the Israeli military says its air force has begun a broad wave of strikes on Iranian terror infrastructure in Tehran. Spokespersons describe a campaign aimed at degrading Tehran’s capabilities, while analysts question how many launchers Iran still has and whether operators will be available to use them. The conflict has also seen calls for action from Iran’s regionally aligned proxies, with the leader of Yemen’s Houthis saying they are ready to act. There was a night of rocket fire from Lebanon toward the north, and in Israel a missile barrage from Iran struck near Tel Aviv, triggering explosions and a fire at a residential building as firefighters worked to contain the blaze. Netanya and surrounding areas reported rocket activity, and Israeli authorities said they were intercepting incoming fire as the situation evolved.In US Military Role, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said three Australian defense personnel were aboard a United States submarine that sank an Iranian warship with a torpedo off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, though they did not take part in the attack; Sri Lankan authorities recovered 87 bodies. CENTCOM released footage showing strikes earlier today against the IRIS Shahid Bagheri, a converted container ship turned drone carrier operated by Iran’s IRGC Navy, which is on fire and sinking in the Strait of Hormuz off Bandar Abbas. CENTCOM also claimed that US forces are not holding back on the mission to sink the entire Iranian Navy, noting the drone carrier—roughly the size of a WWII aircraft carrier—was struck and is on fire. Separately, US sources described additional actions, including strikes against Iran’s network, with reports that B-2 bombers hit underground missile sites as Israeli forces targeted facilities in Beirut’s Dahieh, and claims that Iranian vessels were sunk in the broader theater of operations.In Regional Impacts, Saudi Arabia intercepted three ballistic missiles aimed at Prince Sultan Air Base, about 100 kilometers southeast of Riyadh, and intercepted at least two drone attacks in the Al Kharj region and the Eastern Region. Bahrain’s Interior Ministry said Iran targeted a hotel and two residential buildings in Manama, causing material damage but no loss of life, while Qatar said it intercepted a drone aimed at Al Udeid Air Base. Etihad Airways announced limited resumption of flights between March 6 and 19 to and from Abu Dhabi and key destinations. Kuwait’s army said air defenses were dealing with hostile missile and drone attacks that breached Kuwaiti airspace. Footage from Manama showed a residential building on fire after an Iranian drone attack, with two hotels also reported targeted.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, several dozen officers from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, most from the Quds Force and working as advisers to Hezbollah, have fled Beirut over the past 48 hours amid fear of Israeli targeting, according to Axios citing Israeli defense officials.In Israeli Domestic Politics, in safety measures during the war with Iran, Israel will bar Friday Ramadan prayers at the Temple Mount, and all holy sites in Jerusalem’s Old City will be closed to worshippers. Entry will be prohibited for worshippers and visitors of all faiths to preserve public safety, per instructions from the Home Front Command and the Civil Administration. In the Galilee, Misgav Am, Margaliot and Kiryat Shmona were advised that residents may leave protected spaces, and sirens were heard in those areas as part of ongoing alert operations.In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, Florida US Representative Randy Fine sharply criticized media figure Tucker Carlson on the House floor, accusing him of spreading rhetoric that endangers the Jewish community while the House considered measures related to Iran and war powers.In Uplifting News, Israel released its 2026 Eurovision entry, “Michelle,” sung by Noam Bettan. The song, performed largely in Hebrew and French with one verse in English, was unveiled during a broadcast from Vienna, as the country seeks a moment of resilience amid ongoing hostilities.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

    HEADLINESTel Aviv rocked as Iran missiles struckUS strikes Iran vowing to dismantle missilesBahrain hit as Iran retaliates across regionThe time is now 8:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, a wave of explosions shook Tel Aviv as firefighters worked to contain a blaze at a residential building near Israel’s commercial hub on Friday after Iran’s missile barrage. Tehran’s state broadcaster said missiles were fired “against targets in the heart of Tel Aviv” following Israel’s expansion of its campaign against Hezbollah in response to the weekend killing of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Israel’s military said it was intercepting incoming fire late Thursday, and AFP witnesses in Tel Aviv heard near-simultaneous blasts while rocket trails lit the sky in Netanya. Emergency services reported that crews visited several impact sites but said there were no casualties, and police noted damage with no injuries. A projectile also hit a building on the outskirts of the Tel Aviv area, with responders assessing the scene.In Iranian Retaliation, cross-border hostilities and regional strikes continued to ripple across the area. Rocket alerts rang out in northern towns near the Lebanon border, including Kiryat Shmona, Metulla and Misgav Am, with no immediate reports of impacts or injuries. The Israeli army pressed a wave of strikes in Beirut’s southern suburbs, and explosions were heard as evacuation warnings were issued for Hezbollah strongholds. Bahrain said Iran targeted two hotels and a residential building in Manama, causing material damage but no loss of life. Suspected drone infiltrations prompted sirens in parts of the West Bank’s Jordan Valley, and Saudi Arabia reported intercepting three ballistic missiles aimed at an air base. Satellite imagery also appeared to show damage to an AN/TPY-2 radar—the primary radar for THAAD—in Jordan’s Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, with similar radar sites damaged at locations in the United Arab Emirates.In US Military Role, Washington described a broad escalation of strikes aimed at Iran’s warfighting capability. US B-2 bombers struck underground missile facilities as Israeli airstrikes pounded Beirut’s Dahieh, and Iranian vessels were reported sunk amid the growing tensions. CENTCOM officials said the next phase will extend beyond destroying ballistic missiles to dismantling Iran’s missile manufacturing base, with the Pentagon describing a campaign that has hit more than 200 sites across Iran since Tuesday and destroyed more than 30 Iranian naval vessels, including the IRGC’s drone-carrier. Dozens of 2,000-pound bombs were dropped on suspected subterranean launchers, and US aircraft also targeted the Iranian aerospace command facilities in western Tehran as part of the broader operation.In Regional Impacts, northern Israel continues to feel the strain of the confrontation. A report from the region notes sirens in Misgav Am, Merlagiyot and Kiryat Shmona, with experts weighing the remaining launchers and the potential risk of further attacks as the conflict enters its sixth day. In central Israel, a fire broke out after missile shrapnel hit a warehouse, igniting a blaze that firefighters fought to contain. A 10-year-old boy sustained minor injuries from the shrapnel and received on-site first aid before being taken to hospital; three others were treated for post-traumatic symptoms. Early Friday brought renewed sirens across several northern towns near the Lebanon border, and residents in the northern West Bank sought protective areas following an aerial intrusion warning.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, reports from Lebanon indicate Israel conducted strikes in the Dahieh district, a Hezbollah stronghold, with officials weighing the likelihood of remaining launchers and the timing of follow-up actions. In Bahrain’s capital Manama, two hotels and a residential building were damaged in an Iranian drone and missile attack in the last minutes, with no reported loss of life, according to the Interior Ministry.In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, anti-Zionist activists staged a blood libel display near the White House. In Washington, actors dressed as Netanyahu, Trump and Epstein assembled at a table, tearing apart a “blood baby” and drinking mock blood from glasses. The scene included signs branding the event as part of a “Satanic elite” and a “Zionist World Plan,” with a flag and other imagery presented at the site on Pennsylvania Avenue.In Uplifting News, despite ongoing hostilities, Israel released its 2026 Eurovision entry, “Michelle,” performed by Noam Betan. The song, sung largely in Hebrew and French with one verse in English, is described as more upbeat than recent entries and a reflection of a desire for resilience and lighter moments even in wartime. The premiere occurred on a Kan broadcast interrupted by missile ...

    HEADLINESIranian missile shrapnel ignites central Israel warehouseEpic Fury targets Iran Trump urges asylumRadar bases damaged as Bahrain attackedThe time is now 7:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, a fire in central Israel broke out after shrapnel from an Iranian missile hit the area following a launch that triggered sirens across the country. Firefighters determined the blaze erupted at a warehouse hit by a missile fragment and it immediately went up in flames, with crews working to prevent spread to nearby buildings and extinguish the source. A 10-year-old boy sustained minor injuries from the shrapnel and received first aid at the scene before being taken to a nearby hospital; responders also treated three people for post-traumatic symptoms. Earlier, sirens sounded nationwide, and later, in a northern town, sirens were heard but no property damage or injuries were reported. Separately, there was a Beqa area drone intrusion alert, with analysts weighing how many launchers Iran may have left and the potential for delayed use, as the conflict moves into its sixth day and Israel reports only mild injuries.In US Military Role, President Donald Trump urged Iranian diplomats to seek asylum during a White House address tied to an event hosting Inter Miami CF, saying the United States aims to finish the war in Iran and “totally demolish” the regime as part of Operation Epic Fury. He described rapid retaliation against missile launches, saying that once a missile is set off, the launcher is hit within minutes, and he asserted that Iran has no functioning air force or air defense and that their aircraft, air defenses, missiles, and launchers have been substantially degraded. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth later said the United States was not expanding its objectives in Iran, with the Pentagon focusing on destroying offensive missiles, missile production and the Navy to prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, noting more than 2,000 targets have been hit in Iran over the past six days, including Iranian warships. CENTCOM leadership emphasized progress, with statements that Iran’s ballistic missile production and related capabilities are being dismantled and that the campaign has reduced attacks notably in the last 24 hours, while partnerships with allied forces continue and the operation persists.In Regional Impacts, satellite imagery from Airbus Defence and Space appears to show a damaged AN/TPY-2 Forward Based X-band radar, the primary radar for the US Army’s THAAD system, at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, with assessment that similar radar installations at bases in the United Arab Emirates were hit as well. Bahrain’s capital Manama reported damage to two hotels and a residential building from an Iranian drone and missile attack in the last minutes, with no loss of life, according to the Ministry of Interior. Video circulated of a large fire at Ali Al Salem Air Base, the joint US-Kuwaiti facility, reportedly struck by Iranian ordnance. Explosions and air defense activity were also reported over Bahrain following early warnings of a ballistic missile attack by Iran, and there were reports of explosions in Kuwait targeting Ali Al Salem airbase.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Iran has so far attacked 12 countries in the Middle East: Israel, Jordan, Cyprus, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. The region also bore destruction in Dahieh in Beirut after the recent attacks.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

    HEADLINES
    Unprecedented US-Israel coordination drives Iran war
    Israel may topple Iran regime in weeks
    Kurds seek Western-backed front against Iran

    The time is now 3:03 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

    In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, foreign policy adviser Ophir Falk described Netanyahu and Trump as an epic tag team, saying the US-Israel campaign against Iran has been marked by unprecedented coordination, unusually smooth execution, and a strategic goal focused on ending what he called the existential threat posed by Tehran’s ruling clerics. “Trump and Netanyahu are an epic tag team,” Falk told The Jerusalem Post, noting that the cooperation between the American and Israeli armed forces is unprecedented as Israel and the United States press a campaign amid ongoing Israeli and US strikes on Iranian targets and repeated Iranian missile launches toward Israel and other countries in the region on the sixth day of the war. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran has not attacked its neighbors or Muslim countries, insisting that Iran has attacked American targets and bases located on the soil of neighboring states. He argued that there has been collateral damage in the conflict and pointed to statements about Gaza, saying more than 70,000 people were killed there, framing the war as the United States’ choice rather than Iran’s. Araghchi added that Iran is not pursuing a ceasefire and does not see a reason to negotiate with the United States.

    In US Military Role, Israel can topple Iranian regime, war may last a few weeks, Energy Minister Eli Cohen tells The Jerusalem Post. Cohen, a member of the Security Cabinet, said the joint operation between Israel and the United States represents a “very strong and deadly combination” and described the effort as historic, already shifting the regional balance. He said Israel may succeed in bringing down Iran’s regime, while acknowledging timelines could stretch over a few more weeks as Operation Roaring Lion continues. Cohen noted that while there is broad discussion about how long the campaign will take, officials are aligning with operational timelines and believe some additional time will be required to complete the plan. Trump has suggested a scope of four to five weeks to reach objectives, and Cohen said that assessment reflects current expectations.

    In Regional Impacts, Will the Kurds open a new front against Iran's Ayatollahs? analysis. There is a palpable wish among Kurdish communities to unite with the West and Israel to topple Tehran’s regime, but Kurdish leaders show cautious hesitation, fearing abandonment by Washington. Recent reports note hundreds of Iranian Kurdish fighters returning home, signaling readiness among some segments of the population to rise up if supported. A senior Kurdish official told the Post that an uprising could come as soon as next week with the right backing, stressing that “without America, without Israel, we cannot be successful.” He called for political cover, including a No-Fly Zone over Iranian Kurdistan akin to the 1990s northern Iraq arrangement, arguing that unity among Kurdish minorities would be essential to regional change. Separately, the NSC warned Israelis abroad to stay vigilant, citing a concrete concern that Iranian security bodies have issued threats against Israeli and Jewish targets worldwide, and noting that several attempts to attack such targets have been foiled or disrupted. The warning cited rising threats from lone attackers and referenced recent incidents under investigation, including a March 1 mass shooting in Austin, Texas, and an attack on a synagogue in Toronto that prompted police there to open an investigation.

He said, "We will continue striking the terror regime in Iran and terror forces in Lebanon."In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Israel's current assessment is that 60% of the Iranian launchers have been destroyed.In Iranian Retaliation, Iran foreign minister says Iranian forces are ready to confront US troops on ground: 'We are waiting for them'.In US Military Role, Arab States in the Persian Gulf are running dangerously low on interceptors to take down Iranian-fired ballistic and cruise missiles, as governments in the region have asked the United States to expedite new supplies, with officials in Washington creating a task force to do so — but it isn't happening as fast as needed, two regional officials told CBS News.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the killing of Ali Khamenei is described as a dramatic turning point for Hezbollah, which has joined the war but appears reluctant to widen the confrontation, fearing it could threaten its own existence and provoke Lebanese opposition. Hezbollah launched rockets and drones toward Israel the night before and later officially declared that it was entering the war alongside Iran, yet it remains cautious about expanding beyond limited actions.
