The time is now 01:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

At 1:00 AM, the latest developments in the Israeli security situation and regional tensions are as follows. Israel's military has reported the successful completion of Operation "With All Its Might," which targeted Iran's nuclear and missile capabilities. According to military sources, the operation has significantly degraded Iran’s ability to enrich uranium to 90 percent, effectively halting its capacity to produce weapons-grade material. Furthermore, thousands of Iranian centrifuges have been destroyed, surpassing initial plans, and Iran’s missile manufacturing infrastructure has been severely impacted. Approximately 200 missile launchers, representing about half of Iran's missile launch capacity, were targeted and destroyed, along with numerous radar and air defense systems. The Israeli Defense Forces also claim to have achieved air superiority over Iran, destroying around 80 percent of Iran’s air defense batteries and around 70 radars. On the home front, the operation resulted in damage to over 2,300 residential units across multiple cities, leaving more than 13,000 Israelis displaced and without shelter.

Regional proxy groups continue to face significant setbacks. Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shia militant group, has reportedly suffered heavy losses in recent Israeli strikes, with many of its missile launch sites and command centers destroyed. Lebanon is now actively working to expel remaining Hezbollah operatives amid ongoing economic and political instability. Meanwhile, Hamas in Gaza remains degraded; though the group continues to hold hostages and launch sporadic attacks, Israeli forces maintain a firm stance to dismantle the militant organization and secure the border. From Yemen, Houthi rebels persist with missile and drone attacks targeting southern Israel and other regional targets, demonstrating the ongoing threat from non-state actors aligned with Iran.

Internationally, Israel's military actions have drawn mixed reactions. While many Western allies support Israel’s right to defend itself, some voices have called for restraint to prevent escalation. The United States, under the current Trump administration, continues to provide diplomatic backing and intelligence support, emphasizing Israel’s security concerns and the importance of degrading Iran's military capabilities. The US has also expressed readiness to assist in regional stabilization efforts, though direct involvement remains limited.

Domestically within Israel, the government faces the challenge of managing the humanitarian impact of the recent strikes, including the sheltering and support of displaced civilians. Meanwhile, ongoing security alerts and the threat of retaliatory attacks underscore the fragile state of regional stability.

In other news, a tragic traffic incident occurred in northern Israel, where a 22-year-old motorcyclist was injured in a collision with a vehicle on Road 89 near Motael Tershicha. He sustained moderate injuries and was transported to Rambam Medical Center for treatment.

Additionally, cultural and environmental stories continue to resonate. In North Africa, efforts are underway in Tunisia to preserve the endangered Sloughi breed, a desert hunting dog with deep historical roots. Experts emphasize the importance of safeguarding this heritage amid threats from unregulated crossbreeding and urban development, with fewer than 200 purebred Sloughis believed to remain in Tunisia.

That concludes our update. We will continue to monitor these developments and bring you the latest as it unfolds.
