Israel Intercepts Last Missile Aimed North
Iran Drone Strikes Bahrain Refinery
Hezbollah Orders Clash With Lebanese Army
The time is now 3:02 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, authorities report the interception of the last missile aimed at northern Israel.
In שר המלחמה האמריקאי פיט הגסת' עם גישה ריאליסטית למלחמה עם איראן: דברים כאלה לא קורים בלי הרוגים. יהיו עוד הרוגים. הדור שלנו יודע מה זה לראות אמריקאים חוזרים הביתה בארונות קבורה. אבל זה לא מחליש אותנו כלל. כדי להגיב לכתבה לחצו כאן, US defense officials quoted Pete Hegseth as adopting a realist view of potential conflict with Iran, saying that such confrontations come with casualties and that more losses are anticipated. The narrative emphasizes that many have witnessed Americans returning in coffins, yet the message remains that resolve endures.
In Regional Impacts, footage shows Bahrain’s main refinery, operated by BAPCO, following an Iranian drone attack; the facility’s refining capacity is about 265,000 barrels per day, and before the war it was undergoing an expansion to raise capacity toward 380,000 barrels per day. Separately, Bahrain reports indicate that Iran attacked oil refineries.
In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Hezbollah has instructed its members to confront the Lebanese army if it moves to intervene, as UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon Joanna Wroneka is set to arrive in Israel amid the escalation. Lebanon’s government has taken steps against IRGC elements, including visa restrictions on Iranian citizens, designation of the IRGC as illegal, and the expulsion of senior Iranian officials, following Israel’s strike on a Beirut hotel that killed five senior IRGC Quds Force commanders. The Israeli Navy conducted operations tied to intelligence from the Military Intelligence Directorate, seen as a significant blow to Iranian activity in Lebanon. The Israeli military Arabic spokesman warned residents of Dahieh, Beirut, to evacuate in the coming hours as operations against Hezbollah infrastructure proceed. In another development, the IDF released a recording of Unit 504 intelligence officers speaking with a Dahieh resident, who described Hezbollah’s presence and threats, and asserted that Lebanon’s people stand with the Lebanese state. The resident also highlighted that Hezbollah sites in Dahieh are used to manufacture and improve missiles with Iranian guidance. The IDF says these actions are part of its broader activity against Hezbollah. A separate fact check states that Hezbollah claims it shot down an Israeli military helicopter over southern Lebanon last night is untrue. Tonight, Hezbollah published what it said is a map of its activities over the past 24 hours, describing 18 operations, the most southern of which targeted Haifa’s base.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, former national security adviser Yaakov Amidror says that if destroying Iran requires spending Passover in a shelter, that is a price worth paying.
In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, observers note that in Kermanshah, western Iran, regime supporters denounce the attacks with chants of death to Israel as smoke plumes rise from the strikes.
In Israeli Economy and Business, the perspective is that many investors take the opposite path: they seek solid investments before a complete, formal management roadmap is in place. The emphasis is on cash flow, security, defined goals, and risk management, with the aim of keeping a balance between prudent financial planning and everyday life. A financial advisor, introduced as Harel Colden, describes a practical, sober course that translates years of experience intoPlainspoken guidance for both seasoned and new investors, focusing on money working for you rather than chasing quick gains.
