The time is now 08:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
Tonight at eight o’clock, Israel faces a complex and intense multi-front conflict, with hostilities spanning from Iran to its proxies across seven key regions. Iranian officials have announced an escalation, with a senior Iranian source stating that Iran plans to intensify attacks against Israel. Iran’s military activity has already manifested through a series of missile launches and drone operations, including recent strikes near Tehran's international airport, with reports indicating that approximately 150 to 200 missiles were fired from Iran, some intercepted by Israeli defenses, others causing damage in various locations.
In response, Israel’s military has conducted targeted air strikes across Iran, including near the Mahrabad airport area, and reports indicate that around 200 Israeli aircraft have engaged in strikes, contributing to a volatile escalation. The Israeli Defense Forces have also reported intercepting multiple missile salvos directed at Israeli territory, with some attacks resulting in damage and injuries. In Tel Aviv, a residential building was struck, with at least 21 wounded, including two in serious condition, and firefighting crews continue efforts to extinguish fires and recover victims.
The conflict extends beyond Iran. In Gaza, Israeli forces report ongoing exchanges of fire with Hamas, with rocket sirens sounding in southern communities. The West Bank has seen increased violence, with multiple clashes and arrests of Palestinian militants. Lebanon’s Hezbollah has launched a series of rockets into northern Israel, prompting retaliatory strikes and heightened tensions in the region. Syria has been targeted with Israeli air raids, with reports of explosions near military sites, while in Iraq, US and Iraqi forces remain on high alert amidst fears of spillover violence.
Yemen’s Houthi rebels have also claimed responsibility for firing drones and missiles at southern Israeli targets, marking an expansion of the conflict’s reach. Internationally, the United States has reported the entry of American fighter jets into Iranian airspace, an unprecedented move signaling the seriousness of the current escalation. Meanwhile, Iran alleges that Israeli aircraft are conducting aggressive operations over Tehran, with reports of intense aerial activity and explosions in the Iranian capital.
Domestically within Israel, the situation remains tense. The government has issued directives allowing civilians to exit shelters but urging remaining near protected areas. Alerts and sirens have been widespread, with multiple reports of missile interceptions and damage in major cities including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The Israeli emergency services are actively managing multiple incidents, including fires, injuries, and building damages resulting from missile strikes.
Additionally, there are reports of international repercussions, such as US embassy alerts in Baghdad due to missile threats and recent airspace incursions by American fighter jets over Iran, underscoring the regional and global stakes involved. Efforts continue to contain the violence, but the scale and scope of the hostilities suggest that this conflict could persist and expand further.
As the night progresses, the situation remains fluid, with Israeli authorities urging the public to stay in protected areas and follow military instructions. The international community watches closely, aware that this escalation could reshape regional stability and influence global diplomatic responses. We will continue to monitor developments and bring updates as they unfold.
