The time is now 02:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
At two a.m., the current situation remains extremely tense and complex. Israeli military and intelligence sources report that Israel has undertaken targeted airstrikes in western Iran, destroying missile launchers prepared for attacks against Israeli territory. These actions follow a series of Iranian missile barrages launched early this morning, which struck southern and northern Israeli cities, causing fatalities and injuries.
In Beersheba, a direct missile hit on a residential building resulted in the deaths of at least five civilians, including a woman and individuals in their twenties and forties. Over twenty others were wounded, some critically, with rescue operations ongoing for trapped victims. Emergency services responded promptly, rescuing children and adults from rubble, while the injured are being treated at local hospitals.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have claimed responsibility for launching multiple volleys of ballistic missiles, including one that struck Beersheba shortly after a purported ceasefire declaration. Despite Iran’s assertions that they are observing a ceasefire, Israeli officials and military sources confirm continued missile activity, with some launches intercepted. This has led to a significant escalation, with Israeli defense systems successfully neutralizing most incoming threats, though the damage and casualties remain severe.
Meanwhile, Israeli operatives reportedly issued warnings to Iranian military leaders, calling them and advising them to evacuate Iran within a 12-hour window to avoid targeted assassinations. These covert operations are believed to be part of Israel’s broader strategic effort, known as Operation Rising Lion, which has already targeted Iran’s top military figures, including senior IRGC officials and scientists involved in nuclear development.
On the diplomatic front, the United States, under President Donald Trump, announced a temporary ceasefire, urging Iran to halt missile launches. However, Iranian forces continued their attacks past the ceasefire deadline, prompting international concern. President Trump emphasized the ceasefire’s validity on social media, urging Iran not to break it, even as the situation remains volatile.
The international community watches closely as the conflict’s toll rises. In Israel, domestic debates continue over the appropriate response, with leaders warning that any premature withdrawal or incomplete ceasefire could lead to further hostilities. The Israeli government has also lifted restrictions on civilian movement, allowing residents to leave shelters and return to normal routines, though many remain cautious.
As of now, the death toll in Israel has reached twenty-nine, with thousands injured, and the situation remains fragile. Rescue efforts are ongoing, and Israel’s military continues to monitor Iranian activity, prepared for further escalation. The region remains on high alert, with the potential for renewed hostilities if diplomacy fails to contain the conflict.
This is the latest update. We will continue to follow developments and provide updates as more information becomes available.
