HEADLINES
Isfahan entrances backfilled fueling US strike fears
DoD cuts Harvard ties over antisemitism
Venezuela oil to Israel after Maduro fall
The time is now 12:02 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In the conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, experts say the regime may be preparing for a US strike after reviewing satellite images of the Isfahan nuclear complex. The images show the middle and southern entrances of the facility backfilled with soil, and the northernmost tunnel entrance, which has additional passive defense measures, is also backfilled. The Institute of Science and International Security notes that backfilling would dampen any potential airstrike and would complicate a ground raid to seize or destroy any highly enriched uranium inside. The institute adds that such preparations were last observed in the days before Operation Midnight Hammer struck facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. A former counter-intelligence expert told The Post that the late January and early February activity around Isfahan resembles prior patterns. Separately, a fire broke out in the cooling tower area at the Alstom Satarhan power station in Tehran.
In US Policy Concerning Israel, the Department of Defense will cut ties with Harvard University beginning in the 2026-2027 school year, discontinuing all graduate-level professional military education, fellowships, and certificate programs, though students already enrolled may complete their studies. The move follows accusations of antisemitism at Harvard and sympathy with Hamas. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Harvard leadership fostered a campus environment that celebrated Hamas, allowed attacks on Jews, and promoted discrimination based on race, and pointed to Harvard’s relations with foreign powers, including China, as part of an on-campus culture incongruent with military and American values.
In the Israeli Economy and Business, Venezuela has begun sending oil to Israel, marking the first oil shipment to Israel since Maduro’s regime fell. The reports in multiple languages emphasize this development.
In the Uplifting News, a Syrian child was evacuated to Rambam Hospital in Haifa after a serious fall, transported across the border in an IDF emergency medical vehicle with care provided by United Hatzalah medics on the scene and then moved to the hospital by military helicopter. This comes after a Sunday Jerusalem District Court decision rejecting a petition to allow a Gazan child living in the West Bank to enter Israel for medical treatment; doctors in Ramallah had been in contact with Tel Hashomer Hospital, which expressed willingness to treat the child, and the court noted that there was insufficient evidence to support the claim that the child could be treated there.
