HEADLINES
Tehran Oil Depots Burn as Israel Strikes
Epic Fury US Strikes 3000 Targets
Lebanon Displacement Surges as Hezbollah Clashes
The time is now 8:02 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Operation Lion's Roar, columns of flame and thick black smoke rise from the Shahran Oil Depot in Northwestern Tehran, visible over the Iranian capital after Israeli air strikes earlier tonight. The blaze sends a veil of smoke for miles, underscoring the intensity of the attack. The fire at the Rey oil refinery near Tehran has spread, with oil seeping into the sewage and drainage system and setting streets alight. A massive fire is burning at the Aqdasiyeh Oil Depot in Northern Tehran, with the entire facility engulfed in flames following strikes on oil and gas infrastructure across the capital. Footage shows the Aqdasiyeh blaze and oil flowing into sewers as fires burn on several streets.
In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, sirens sounded twice across northern Israel as missiles from Iran targeted the country. Red alert sirens were heard in northern Israel as the Iranian regime continued to fire missiles at Israel. Additional launches from Iran toward northern Israel were reported.
In Iranian Retaliation, an Iranian drone strike hit a hotel in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq, believed to be housing American soldiers.
In US Military Role, new satellite imagery reveals extensive damage at several Iranian military sites following a wave of air strikes by the United States and Israel, including missile bases, storage facilities and air-defence installations. CENTCOM says US forces have struck over 3,000 targets in the first week of Operation Epic Fury, and the campaign shows no sign of slowing. CENTCOM also denied Iranian claims that it captured American soldiers. President Donald Trump attended a dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base, honoring six US Army Reserve soldiers killed in an Iranian drone attack in Kuwait.
In Regional Impacts, emergency responders report a man injured en route to a protected space and urge the public to follow Home Front Command guidance as air raid warnings continue in the north. Additional alarms are expected to be heard in the north as part of ongoing alerting. A watch on Dubai shows an Iranian drone struck Dubai International Airport on Saturday morning, briefly suspending operations, with Emirates resuming limited flights. Reports of explosions near Kuwait City airport were noted, and footage showed multiple fuel tanks burning at Kuwait International Airport with thick black smoke rising into the sky. Alarms have been sounded in the region as warnings persist.
In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the IDF launched a new wave of strikes on Hezbollah targets in Beirut, including the destruction of the rocket launcher used to target Galilee. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned the Lebanese government of disastrous consequences should it fail to enforce the ceasefire and disarm Hezbollah. Israel also said it struck 16 aircraft belonging to Iran’s IRGC Quds Force in Tehran, used to move weapons to Hezbollah in Lebanon. In Lebanon, displacement continued to climb, with hundreds of thousands registered as displaced this week and about 100,000 seeking shelter.
In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, Be a Refusenik: A Jewish Student’s Survival Guide outlines a modern playbook for Jewish students facing campus antisemitism. The book draws on the refusenik movement from the Soviet era and parallels with contemporary anti-Israel voices, offering strategies for resistance and resilience as students navigate hostile environments.
