The time is now 07:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
At seven in the evening, Israel finds itself at the forefront of a multi-front conflict that has rapidly intensified over the past hours. The Israeli military reports that in the last hour, dozens of missiles were launched from Iran, some of which have been intercepted, while others resulted in reported impacts across the country. Rescue teams are actively working in several locations, responding to reports of damage and fires, including a blaze in a residential neighborhood in East Jerusalem following the missile barrage.
The Israeli Defense Forces confirm that approximately 150 projectiles have been fired from Iran, with the Iron Dome and other missile defense systems engaged in efforts to neutralize the threats. In response, Israeli aircraft are conducting targeted strikes to dismantle launch sites and mitigate further escalation. The military emphasizes that the air defense is not infallible and urges the public to continue listening to instructions from the home front command.
On the ground, reports indicate that a residential building in the Zaim neighborhood of East Jerusalem has caught fire following the recent missile attacks. Additionally, a building in Tel Aviv was damaged, with rescue services confirming four individuals injured, two of whom are emergency workers. Despite multiple missile launches from Iran, authorities report no confirmed casualties so far, and efforts are underway to assess and contain the situation.
International reactions are swift and tense. The United Nations has described Israel's recent actions as a declaration of war, with Iran's permanent representative at the UN condemning Israeli strikes as acts of outright aggression and war. Iran's officials label Israel's military operations as a full-scale act of war, further escalating diplomatic tensions.
Israeli officials also report that the country’s alert system has been activated across several regions, including Jerusalem and the Negev desert. The Home Front Command has authorized residents to leave their protected spaces but urges caution and continued vigilance. The military confirms that multiple missile launches have been detected from Iranian territory and across Iraqi airspace, with the Israeli Defense Forces deploying interception measures to counter these threats.
Amid these developments, the situation remains highly volatile. Civil authorities advise the public to stay in protected areas until further notice, and military operations continue to target missile launch infrastructure. The broader regional situation remains uncertain, with Iran and its proxies engaged in a campaign that Israel describes as an existential threat, while Iran and its allies accuse Israel of unprovoked aggression.
In summary, Israel faces a complex and dangerous escalation involving dozens of missile attacks from Iran, with significant impact on civilian areas, ongoing military responses, and heightened international concern about the potential for wider regional conflict. Authorities and defense officials remain on high alert as the night unfolds.
