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 three o'clock in the afternoon, reports indicate that Israel remains in a state of heightened alert amid a multi-front conflict involving Iran and its proxies. Israeli security officials have emphasized that the current situation is intensely complex, with threats emanating from multiple regions, including Iran, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, the West Bank, and Yemen.
Iran's role continues to be central, with Iranian military actions escalating. Iranian reports confirm widespread activity of air defense systems across numerous provinces, including major cities such as Tehran, and military sites like Bandar Abbas. Iran claims to have launched drones at a British warship, signaling increased regional tension. Iranian state-controlled media warn of a heavy and destructive attack on Israel within hours, and reports of renewed Israeli airstrikes target underground missile storage facilities and launch sites, aiming to neutralize Iran's surface-to-surface missile capabilities.
Meanwhile, Iran asserts that it launched defensive fire from its air defense systems in multiple locations, including Bandar Abbas and several provinces in the north and west, possibly in response to Israeli strikes. Iranian authorities have also reported attacks on key infrastructure, such as oil facilities, with Tehran claiming to have targeted two oil refineries, suggesting an escalation in Iran’s efforts to defend its strategic assets.
In the Gaza Strip, hostilities persist with ongoing rocket fire into southern Israel, prompting Israeli military responses. The Israeli government has issued stern warnings, asserting that any attack on civilian infrastructure will result in strategic retaliation. Israeli officials have made clear that they view Iran’s involvement as a key threat and have warned that any attack on civilian areas will be met with severe consequences, emphasizing that strategic infrastructure remains a red line.
In Lebanon, Hezbollah has issued threats of escalation, and Israeli forces are on high alert along the northern border. The Lebanese group has expressed support for Iran’s stance, and Israeli intelligence indicates preparations for potential cross-border attacks.
Syria and Iraq are also involved, with reports of Israeli airstrikes targeting Iranian-backed militias and weapon convoys. In Yemen, the Houthis’ response to Israeli actions has been limited, but reports suggest that the US has broken its ceasefire with Houthi forces, and there are warnings that the conflict could expand further if escalation continues.
Internationally, the United States has maintained its stance of readiness, emphasizing that Iran’s nuclear program remains a primary concern. A US diplomat indicated that Iran’s decision to resume negotiations or escalate will depend heavily on regime stability. The US has signaled that it would impose strict sanctions if Iran chooses to renew nuclear talks or advance its nuclear weapons program.
Domestically, Israel has issued directives to its citizens to stay close to protected spaces amid ongoing threats. The Home Front Command has refined its alert procedures, emphasizing that notifications about missile alerts will now be more strategic and coordinated, with emphasis on personal safety and timely warnings.
Israeli authorities have also responded to social media threats and incitement, with police arresting individuals accused of posting messages praising missile attacks and encouraging violence. The government has reiterated its zero-tolerance policy toward incitement and threats against public safety.
