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 PM, ongoing tensions in the region remain high amid escalating military activity and political developments. The Israel Defense Forces continue to emphasize the importance of staying close to protected spaces in areas under threat, reiterating that the current safety instructions remain in effect. This comes amidst reports of attempted missile launches from Iran, which Israel has responded to with targeted strikes. Israeli aircraft have attacked missile sites in central Iran, aiming to neutralize ongoing threats, and air defenses remain active near nuclear facilities. The Israeli military reports that despite these efforts, some missile launchers are still operational, indicating the threat persists.
In Iran, authorities claim to have dismantled a network of agents linked to the Mossad and exposed a drone assembly workshop in Tehran. Meanwhile, Iranian officials also report that the missile sites targeted by Israel are still active, and the country has refused to engage in ceasefire negotiations, signaling a continued state of conflict. Additionally, reports indicate that Iran’s city of Mashhad has activated its air defenses following an Israeli strike, and a recent earthquake with a magnitude of 2.5 was recorded in Ferdows, Iran.
