Israel unveils 100-hour operation slides
Six Iranian launchers destroyed before firing
Phase 2 US-Israel air campaign targets 2,000

The time is now 2:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Operation Lion's Roar, the IDF Spokesman released slides detailing Israeli military achievements in the first 100 hours of the operation. The material highlights a sequence of accomplishments described as impressive as the fighting enters its early phase. The summary underscores the opening hours as seen by the military communications office.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, six Iranian ballistic missile launchers were destroyed minutes before they fired at Israel, and three advanced Iranian air defense systems were knocked out in the same time frame. The combined effort to degrade Iran's ability to strike and defend itself has continued systematically since the start of Operation Roaring Lion. Reports from the front also note sirens in Sasa on the frontline as tensions persist along the northern border.

In US Military Role, the United States and Israel are moving to Phase 2 of the air campaign, with the aim of the systematic destruction of Iran's military, infrastructure, and regime targets, including the Basij, the Revolutionary Guards, and other centers of power. The Israeli Air Force has targeted roughly 1,500 sites in the operation's first two days, a figure that has since about doubled by day four, while US forces claim around 2,000 targets have been attacked. CENTCOM reports show Iranian drone launches down 73 percent and ballistic-missile launches down 86 percent by the end of day four, with hundreds of other targets hit, including bases, facilities, and command centers. The campaign has also seen the Iranian navy diminish in effect, with vessels such as the Soleimani sinking, and the American edge comes from the growing use of strategic bombers—B-2, B-1, and B-52—from US bases or soon from forward locations.

In Regional Impacts, Last night in Tehran.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Lebanese sources report 12 Israeli Air Force strikes tonight in the Dahieh neighborhoods of Beirut.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, Israeli minister Gila Gamliel argues that America stands with Israel against Iran, saying the threat is global and not confined to the Middle East. She notes Iran's rhetoric about uranium enriched to 60 percent and argues that any negotiated deal with the regime would not be binding. The war is described as preventive, aimed at stopping global terror networks, dismantling planners of mass murder, and preventing an expansion of radical influence, not merely a dispute over territory.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, Smotrich is accused of preparing a fake budget, with critics warning of potential consequences.

In Israeli Economy and Business, the stock market has risen amid the conflict, with analysts pointing to the reasons behind the sharp gains and the mood of investors.

In Uplifting News, an Iranian citizen on a rooftop in Isfahan is seen enjoying a meal and a drink while reacting to news of the attacks, described as a moment that brightened the day for the observer.
