The time is now 03:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
At 3:00 PM, Israel’s security situation remains intense and multi-faceted amid ongoing hostilities across several fronts. The Israeli Air Force has conducted significant strikes targeting Iranian-backed forces in Iran, as part of its efforts to dismantle threats from Iranian proxies and prevent escalation. These strikes follow reports of increased Iranian activity and missile launches, with over 300 rockets reportedly fired toward Israel, including more than 150 additional launches toward Israeli territory.
In the south, sirens sounded in the Gaza Strip and the Negev, signaling incoming fire. The Iron Dome intercepted numerous projectiles, and emergency services reported five injuries in the Greater Tel Aviv area, with one person suffering moderate injuries from shrapnel and four with minor wounds. Additionally, four individuals experienced panic attacks and received psychiatric care. Israeli authorities continue to urge civilians to remain in protected spaces as a potential third wave of attacks is feared.
On the northern border, Hezbollah launched over 300 rockets into northern Israel, prompting widespread alerts in the Galilee and the surrounding regions. Israeli military sources confirm that the barrage is part of a coordinated effort by Iran and its Lebanese proxy, with escalation potentially extending to other fronts.
In Lebanon, the Lebanese group claimed responsibility for initiating the "Promise of Truth 3" operation, targeting multiple Israeli communities and military sites. The group states this is only the beginning of a broader campaign, with additional strikes expected. Israeli officials have warned that Iran and its allies will face a heavy price for targeting Israeli population centers.
Across the West Bank and Jerusalem, tensions remain high, with reports of increased clashes and security operations. Israeli forces continue to respond to Palestinian violence, emphasizing their right to defend their citizens and maintain security. The Israeli government has called for international support to counter Iranian and allied activities that threaten regional stability.
In Syria and Iraq, Iranian-backed militias have reportedly increased their activity, with some launched retaliatory strikes and others mobilizing for future confrontations. The Syrian regime has reinforced its military posts, and international actors remain vigilant over Iran’s expanding influence in these areas.
The broader regional picture indicates a significant Iranian effort to challenge Israeli security via multiple proxy fronts, with an escalation in missile and drone attacks. The Israeli military is on high alert, operating under orders to defend its borders and population. Meanwhile, diplomatic channels are active, but tensions threaten to spiral further as both sides prepare for possible intensified hostilities.
International responses are mixed; some Western nations have urged de-escalation, while others have condemned Iran’s actions and pledged support for Israel’s right to self-defense. The United States has reiterated its commitment to Israel’s security, calling for restraint but also warning Iran against further aggression.
The current developments underscore a dangerous period of regional instability, with Israel facing threats from Iran, Hezbollah, and Palestinian factions simultaneously. The situation remains fluid, and authorities advise the public to stay informed and prepared for ongoing alerts and potential further escalation.
