    HEADLINESIranian missiles launch overnight barrage on IsraelHezbollah rocket fire renews central Israel alertsUS warns Israel lacks interceptors amid warThe time is now 1:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, authorities report a rapid wave of Iranian missile launches toward Israel overnight, with observers tallying at least six launches observed since midnight. A missile toward southern Israel was intercepted, and emergency services reported no injuries at the impacted area. Red alert sirens sounded in southern Israel, and additional alarms were heard in central districts as the threat persisted. Other launches were detected heading toward southern Israel, with warnings projected in the Negev, Arava, and the Dead Sea region. In some instances, alarms were heard in Tel Aviv and the surrounding area without warning, underscoring the breadth of the attack.In Regional Impacts, civil defense officials say alarms were activated across multiple regions as authorities respond to the renewed threat. The Home Front Command later announced that the event in the Dan and Sharon region had ended and people could exit protected spaces. Additional alarms were reported in other areas, including Tel Aviv and its environs, with several cities remaining on alert as sirens continued to echo across the region.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, one of the pro-Iran militias in Iraq reports eight of its members were killed in an attack on the border with Syria last week. A missile fired from Lebanon toward central Israel was intercepted, with emergency responders not reporting any injuries. Breaks in the narrative included rapid sirens in central Israel as Hezbollah continued to fire rockets, and alarms that appeared without warning in Tel Aviv and surrounding areas. Rocket fire from Lebanon triggered central Israel sirens without prior warning, and a later barrage toward the south was reportedly shot down after a night of alerts in the center.In US Policy Concerning Israel, President Trump said the United States might strike again on Kharg Island “just for fun.” Separately, US officials told Semafor that Israel informed Washington earlier this week that it is critically low on ballistic missile interceptors, and that the conflict with Iran has left Israel short on interceptors after last year’s Twelve-Day War.In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, a Detroit-area editorial condemns violence against Jews following the attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield. The editorial emphasizes that attacking innocent people, including children, does not advance any political aim and only heightens fear in Jewish communities far from the Middle East battlefield.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

    HEADLINES- Israel Braces as Iranian Missiles Hit Center- Six US Airmen Killed in KC-135 Crash- Russia Ships Shahed Drones to IranThe time is now 12:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, red alert sirens continued to echo across central Israel as Iran pressed missiles toward Israeli territory, with a fresh barrage triggering additional warnings for Eilat and other central areas. Officials described several missiles identified en route to central regions and noted further sirens across the country as the day’s attacks evolved. The Israeli military reported an Israeli Air Force fighter jet was nearly shot down over Iran; an interception attempt failed, but the mission was completed, and the IAF says it has drawn operational lessons from the incident. In parallel, Ukraine’s president said Russia is supplying Iran with Shahed drones to be used against the United States and Israel, while Kyiv announced that it is expanding cooperation with Israel and the United States to counter Iranian-designed drones, and Tehran warned Ukraine could become a target. The flare-up also prompted authorities to monitor potential further launches toward Jerusalem and the Dan region, with Iranian-launch channels identified as signaling possible sirens in Samaria, Jerusalem, and central districts.In Iranian Retaliation, images from the US Embassy in Baghdad after last night’s strike showed the burned and mangled remains of a Saab Giraffe-1X 3D multi-mission surveillance radar on the roof, a component tied to counter-rocket, artillery, and mortar systems. The United States also disclosed that six service members were killed in the crash of a KC-135 refueling aircraft in western Iraq; CENTCOM said the accident occurred in friendly airspace and was not the result of hostile or friendly fire. Officials noted that another KC-135 involved in the operation declared an emergency earlier, with one aircraft landing safely in Israel. Separately, a briefing attributed to a US official claimed ballistic missiles and drones from Iran were down significantly and that American forces had intensified strikes, including actions at Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil hub, while Iranian missiles and drones were reported striking the United Arab Emirates’ main oil hub in what authorities described as a broad escalation.In US Military Role, the Pentagon identified six US airmen killed in the KC-135 crash during a mission over Iraq, with the incident described as taking place in friendly airspace during operations against Iran. The fallen service members hailed from Florida and Ohio, among other states, and the investigation into the crash is ongoing. Officials emphasized that the crash was not due to hostile action, and CENTCOM noted the broader mission context involved tanker support for operations in the region.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Ukrainian President Zelenskiy told CNN that Russia is supplying Iran with Shahed drones to target US and Israeli forces, a detail framed within Kyiv’s broader assessment of Tehran’s capabilities and its cooperation with Moscow in drone operations that have featured in regional attacks.In Israeli Domestic Politics, the IDF Home Front Command announced that wartime restrictions would ease in several areas beginning Monday at 6 a.m., with schools allowed to reopen in regions deemed at lower risk from Iranian missile and Hezbollah rocket attacks. Beit Shean Valley, the Jordan Valley, the West Bank, the Dead Sea area, West Lachish, Gaza-border communities, the Western and Southern Negev, and the Arava would move from limited activity to partial activity. Schools could operate if shelters were available, and gatherings of up to 100 indoors or 50 outdoors would be permitted under the same conditions, though officials stressed that the threat—while lower in those zones—remains, and the rest of the country will retain stricter limits.In Uplifting News, three more members of Iran’s national women’s soccer team decided to return home from asylum in Australia, joining seven teammates who had sought refuge after being branded “wartime traitors” for not singing the national anthem during the Asian Cup. Canberra said three players chose to join the rest on their journey back to Iran, while three others remain in Australia. Australian authorities described the decision as a difficult one for the players, who faced substantial pressure and risk as conversations about asylum continued.In Regional Impacts, the Home Front Command announced that the missile event had ended and that people could leave protected spaces, though officials cautioned that attacks and sirens remain possible. There were no reported casualties at the moment, per the emergency services response center. The region faced a widening attack picture, with Iran launching ballistic missiles and drones now reported against Bahrain, Kuwait, and the...

    HEADLINESIran Shahed drones backed by RussiaSix Americans dead in Iraq KC-135 crashSaudi intercepts Iranian missiles sparking fearThe time is now 11:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Kyiv says it is expanding cooperation with Israel and the United States on countering Iranian-designed drones, as President Volodymyr Zelenskiy asserts that Russia is supplying Iran with Shahed drones to be used against the US and Israel. Zelenskiy told CNN that it is 100% facts that Iran has used Russian-made Shahed drones to attack US bases, and that Shahed drones have been linked to other attacks in the region. Iran pioneered the Shahed drone, a cheaper alternative to missiles, and Russia now manufactures its own; the drones have been adopted by other forces, including the US military, in the current campaign against Iran. Tehran warns Ukraine could become a target amid these tensions. In a separate development, footage shows a fire in Ramla after an Iranian ballistic missile strike, underscoring the ongoing risk in the region. Reports from a Hebrew-language outlet describe heightened tensions with accounts of air-raid alerts and blasts in the Tel Aviv area, with fires reported nearby.In US Military Role, the United States has released the names of six service members killed when a KC-135 refueling aircraft crashed in western Iraq; the incident remains under investigation, with the fallen identified as Major John A. Klinner, Captain Ariana G. Savino, Tech. Sergeant Ashley B. Pruitt, Captain Seth R. Koval, Captain Curtis J. Angst, and Tech. Sergeant Tyler H. Simmons. CENTCOM has also released footage of a B-52H Stratofortress taking off for strikes against Iran, illustrating continued US military operations in the region. In Washington, President Trump warned of further strikes on Iran’s Kharg Island oil export hub as the conflict moves into a third week, saying more could follow and suggesting terms for diplomacy remain unmet. The administration has been described as rebuffing some regional diplomatic efforts while energy markets react to the disruption of supply.In Regional Impacts, Saudi Arabia said it intercepted several waves of Iranian ballistic missiles and drones, with attacks aimed at the Eastern Region and at Riyadh, including missiles targeting the Al Kharj Governorate that were successfully intercepted. In Iraq, a drone strike caused a fire at the Lanaz refinery in Erbil, with operations suspended pending assessment of damage, and authorities indicating the site would remain halted until conditions allowed. The UAE reported air-defense intercepts as drones and missiles were directed at the country, with Dubai signaling that several intercepts occurred in the Marina and Al Sufouh areas as part of a broader regional onslaught that has affected perceptions of safety in the Gulf. The broader regional picture shows a rapid escalation of Iranian strikes and allied responses across the Gulf and neighboring states.In Israeli Domestic Politics, deadly settler violence in the West Bank has surged amid the regional crisis, including a deadly attack in Abu Falah that left two Palestinians dead and a third died from tear gas after Israeli forces fired on Palestinians; the health ministry tally shows six Palestinians shot dead in settler attacks since the start of the month, with human rights groups describing the trend as a grave development amid the wartime focus on Iran. Back home, rescue and relief teams from the Home Front Command, active in regular and reserve capacity, are operating at a central Israel site after a report of a fall; authorities urge the public to follow proven life-saving instructions as investigators work to determine what happened and how to respond.In Uplifting News, three more members of Iran’s national women’s soccer team have left asylum in Australia and decided to return home, leaving seven who initially sought refuge during the Asian Cup, with three remaining in Australia; Canberra says players were given opportunities to discuss options, underscoring the difficult choices faced by those who sought asylum in a period of heightened regional tension.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

    HEADLINESIran Launches Ballistic Missiles at Central IsraelIran Vows Ukraine Strike Over DronesUS Mulls Strikes on Kharg IslandThe time is now 10:02 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Iran launched a ballistic missile toward central Israel at approximately 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, following an earlier wave targeting Eilat around 1:30 a.m. The IDF’s Home Front Command prompted sirens across central Israel, the northern West Bank, Eilat, and the Arava as the launches unfolded. Initial reports said shrapnel landed in Rishon Lezion, Ramle, and Bnei Brak, with Magen David Adom and United Hatzalah saying there were no direct casualties. Paramedics treated an unspecified number of people en route to shelters and others experiencing anxiety; two elderly civilians, about 80 years old, were reported to have received care for cuts from glass and smoke inhalation. United Hatzalah said responders were en route to shrapnel sites to assess, and Tel Aviv District Police were deployed to assist in first-response operations. Footage showed a fire in Ramla in the wake of the strike, and there were reports of a ballistic missile impact in Tel Aviv after the launches.In Iranian Retaliation, Iran has threatened to strike Ukraine, days after Kyiv reportedly sent military experts to the Middle East to help Gulf countries defend against Iranian drone attacks. Ibrahim Azizi, head of Iran’s parliamentary national security committee, said Ukraine had effectively become involved in the war by providing drone support to Israel and warned that the move had turned “its entire territory into a legitimate target for Iran.”In US Military Role, US President Donald Trump said on NBC News that the United States may carry out more strikes on Iran’s Kharg Island oil export hub, saying Tehran appears ready to make a deal but “the terms aren’t good enough yet.” He claimed the strikes had “totally demolished” most of Kharg Island and suggested more strikes “just for fun.” He also questioned whether Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is alive, calling rumors about his fate and urging action if he is alive, while saying he is not ready to strike a deal because the terms are not satisfactory. CENTCOM released footage of a B-52H Stratofortress taking off for strikes against Iran. The US Department of Defense identified six servicemembers killed in Thursday’s KC-135 Stratotanker crash in Western Iraq, following a mid-air collision while supporting Operation Epic Fury: Major John A. Klinner, Captain Ariana G. Savino, Tech. Sergeant Ashley B. Pruitt; Captain Seth R. Koval, Captain Curtis J. Angst, Tech. Sergeant Tyler H. Simmons.In Regional Impacts, a drone strike caused a fire at the Lanaz refinery in Erbil, northern Iraq, with authorities containing the blaze and suspending operations pending assessment. Saudi Arabia intercepted several waves of Iranian missiles and drones targeting the Eastern Region and Riyadh, and six ballistic missiles targeting Al Kharj were intercepted; Dubai’s official media reported air-defense interceptions in the Marina and Al Sufouh areas. In Israel, emergency responders treated two elderly civilians in Holon, around 80 years old, for injuries from shattered glass and smoke inhalation, with several people at the scene also reported as distressed. Footage documented the shrapnel fall zone in central Israel, while a separate report noted four fall zones in central Ramla, Holon, North Tel Aviv, and Bnei Brak with no reported injuries. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the Strait of Hormuz is open to all ships except US and Israeli vessels, asserting security concerns are not tied to Iran, and that many tankers are currently passing through. He dismissed reports of disruptions to leadership or policy, while a separate international overview noted heightened rhetoric as the United States indicated continued involvement in the region.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

    HEADLINESIran fires missiles at central Israel interceptedTrump says US may strike Kharg IslandAmsterdam Jewish school bombing suspect huntedThe time is now 9:02 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Iran launched a ballistic missile at central Israel at about 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, following an earlier wave aimed at Eilat around 1:30 a.m. The IDF’s Home Front Command sounded sirens across central Israel, the northern West Bank, Eilat, and the Arava. Initial reports indicate shrapnel landed in Rishon Lezion, Ramle, and Bnei Brak, with Magen David Adom and United Hatzalah saying there were no confirmed casualties. Paramedics treated an unspecified number of people who were en route to shelters and others who suffered anxiety, and responders are en route to sites of shrapnel to assess damage. Police and security officials are coordinating to isolate impact zones as four central Israel areas were identified as zones of fall, including Ramla, Holon, north Tel Aviv, and Bnei Brak, with no verified injuries reported at this time. Interceptions of the barrage occurred in central Israel within minutes of the launches, and a fire was reported in the central region in connection with the strike.In US Military Role, President Donald Trump told NBC News that the United States may carry out additional strikes on Iran’s Kharg Island oil export hub, saying Tehran appears ready to make a deal but “the terms aren’t good enough yet.” He said US strikes had “totally demolished” most of Kharg Island and that more strikes “a few more times” could be conducted. He questioned whether Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is alive, suggesting he may not be, and added that if he is alive he should surrender. Trump said he is not ready to strike a deal because “the terms aren’t good enough yet.” He argued Iran’s remaining leverage is limited to mine activity or firing short-range missiles, and that once the shoreline is addressed, Iran’s power would be significantly reduced. He stated that “we’ve knocked out most of their missiles.”In Regional Impacts, a drone strike caused a fire at the Lanaz refinery in Erbil, in the northern Iraqi city, with authorities saying operations remain suspended as the extent of damage is assessed. In Saudi Arabia, the Defense Ministry said several waves of Iranian missiles and drones were intercepted targeting the Eastern Region and Riyadh, and six ballistic missiles aimed at the Al Kharj Governorate were also intercepted. Noise was heard in Dubai, with official media attributing the sounds to successful air defense interceptions in the Marina and Al Sufouh areas. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the Strait of Hormuz is open to all ships except those from the United States and Israel, and he claimed many tankers are passing through. He also pushed back on reports about the Supreme Leader’s health, saying Mojtaba Khamenei is alive and carrying out his duties; the Turkish-speaking press noted that the United States and other nations planned to keep Hormuz open with naval presence. Israeli Home Front Command advised that civilians may leave the protected areas, and observers noted a fire in the central region connected to the latest strikes.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, minutes after the Iranian barrage, red alert sirens sounded in Metula following cross-border fire from Lebanon. The situation was accompanied by claims from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and reports of dramatic activity in the skies, including assertions that they attempted to shoot down an Israeli Air Force aircraft. The sequence underscores the broader tension along regional borders as proxies engage in ongoing exchanges amid the broader Iran-Israel confrontation.In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, Dutch authorities were hunting two people suspected of setting off an explosion outside a Jewish school in Amsterdam’s Buitenveldert district. The mayor condemned the attack as a cowardly act against the city’s Jewish community, and City Hall said the blast caused only limited damage to the outer wall of the school.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

    HEADLINESIran fires missile at Eilat interceptedHormuz open to all ships except USLebanon Israel edge toward Hezbollah truceThe 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, Iran launched a ballistic missile toward Eilat in southern Israel early Sunday, triggering sirens from the IDF’s Home Front Command across Eilat and the Arava. As of about 1:30 a.m., there were no reports of hits or injuries; Magen David Adom and United Hatzalah said they had received no calls. A Hebrew report cited an interception of the Iranian projectile toward Eilat and said no casualties were reported at this stage, while quoting Iranian Revolutionary Guards claims that “if this is happening we have lost the war.” The same set of reports noted that, after preliminary alerts, alarms were sounded in Eilat due to the launch, and there were accounts that the IRGC attempted to shoot down an Israeli Air Force aircraft, suggesting a tense crisis atmosphere. Another Hebrew item said a warning had been detected and more alarms would be heard. This is a developing situation.In US Military Role, President Donald J. Trump gave NBC News interviews on the Iran War in which he criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for sending counter-drone systems and experts to the Middle East to help confront the Iranian threat, saying Zelensky should make a deal because Putin’s willing to make a deal, and that Zelensky is “far more difficult to make a deal with” than Putin. He also said he was surprised that Iran decided to attack other Middle Eastern countries in response to the US-Israeli strike operation, and that US strikes on Kharg Island on Saturday “totally demolished” most of the island, while implying there could be further actions. In another NBC appearance, Trump said he is not ready to make a deal to end the war with Iran because the terms aren’t good enough yet, but he is working with other countries on a plan to secure the Strait of Hormuz.In Regional Impacts, the Strait of Hormuz is open to all ships except US and Israeli vessels, according to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who said other ships may pass and that many currently avoid the strait for security concerns, which he insisted are not Iran’s doing. This comes after Donald Trump said the United States, along with several other countries affected by Iran’s actions, would send warships to keep the strait open and safe. Araghchi also addressed claims about Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, being wounded, stating there is no problem with the Leader and that he is performing his duties. He noted that ships continue to move through the Hormuz corridor.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, direct Israel-Lebanon truce talks are reportedly expected in coming days as Israel and Lebanon seek to end the renewed flareup with Hezbollah. France said it was willing to facilitate talks but denied reports that it had drafted a plan permitting Beirut to recognize Israel and end the state of war that has persisted since 1948. Lebanese officials told Reuters that Beirut is forming a delegation, with timing and venue not yet set; Paris and Cyprus were among cities being considered. Jerusalem has so far insisted that any negotiations require a full ceasefire from Lebanon and Hezbollah before talks proceed, while Lebanon seeks clarity on the agenda and the framework for negotiations.In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, Carlson and Owens are described as drawing significant attention amid anti-Israel conspiracies, with a piece noting that Carlson and Owens have repeatedly advanced controversial claims about Jewish groups and Israel, including insinuations surrounding the Chabad organization and broader narratives about Israel’s role in the conflict. A separate opinion piece discusses the Gracie Mansion dinner, arguing the invitation of an anti-Israel activist highlighted concerns about legitimizing figures whose prominence arose from campus protests that targeted Jewish students. Another item references a push titled The Regime That Vowed to Wipe Israel Off the Map Is Crumbling, described as a feature with accompanying material.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

    HEADLINESIran excludes Israel, US from Hormuz trafficCENTCOM says US forces degrade Iranian capabilityF1 cancels Bahrain, Saudi racesThe 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, Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said that all global shipping would be allowed to pass through the Hormuz Strait, with the exception of Israel and the United States. Iranian Revolutionary Guards framed the potential opening as a strategic turn, saying that if it happens, it would amount to a loss in the war. At the same time, Israeli officials acknowledge that the prospects for overthrowing Iran’s regime are now assessed to be less likely than first thought, and that the current military campaign may end without toppling Tehran. The assessment points to the regime’s firm grip on its security apparatus and the repression that has instilled deep fear among Iranians. Leadership in Tehran has appeared to regain more orderly control, with decisions reportedly being made mainly by Ali Larijani, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, and Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, speaker of parliament, though it remains unclear whether the new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei is involved or serving in a largely symbolic role while others run the country. Larijani and Ghalibaf appeared at a mass rally in Tehran marking Iran’s annual Quds Day.In US Military Role, CENTCOM says US forces continue to degrade Iranian military capability.In Regional Impacts, Formula One has cancelled the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix in April due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The FIA said the decisions were made after careful evaluation and in full consultation with Formula One Group, local promoters, and regional member clubs; Bahrain was scheduled for April 10-12 and Saudi Arabia a week later. The Gulf region has faced a wave of Iranian drone and missile attacks in the wake of the broader conflict.The US Embassy in Baghdad urged Americans to leave Iraq immediately, citing the significant threat posed by Iran-aligned militia groups after a missile attack on the embassy and related security incidents. Earlier, operations at the Lanaz refinery in Erbil were suspended until a fire caused by a drone strike could be assessed and controlled. A separate drone strike produced a fire at the US Victory Base near Baghdad International Airport, a key logistics facility.In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens are amplifying controversy amid anti-Israel conspiracies, drawing media attention that critics say harms their reputations. One line of controversy centers on a claim that the Chabad organization is the engine behind the Iran war, tied to a misquoted account and other disputed assertions about Israeli soldiers. The discussion has been framed as part of a broader pattern of rhetoric about Jews and Israel.The real scandal behind Zohran Mamdani’s Gracie Mansion dinner centers on the use of a major civic venue to legitimize a figure whose prominence grew from campus protests that targeted Jewish students and included harassment and intimidation. Reports describe Mahmoud Khalil rising to prominence during demonstrations at Columbia University after the Hamas attacks in October 2023, with coverage noting how that activism intersected with concerns about Jewish students’ safety and campus life.The Iran war has put many in the United States on high alert, but recent incidents on US soil underscore the limits of prevention. Law enforcement remains vigilant as tensions ripple outward, including a Michigan synagogue attack in which a Lebanon-born gunman rammed a pickup into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, sparking a fire; the suspect later died in a gunfight with a security guard. A separate Virginia shooting near a synagogue highlighted the broader challenge of early identification of self-radicalized attackers, with authorities noting possible links to regional instability and militant networks.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
