Iranian missiles drive Israeli sirens Beirut stronghold
US tests B-21 Raider refueling flight
Saudi intercepts six missiles at Prince Sultan
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 Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, missiles from Iran set off air-raid alerts across central Israel and the Jerusalem corridor, with four sirens in a single hour just before midnight and additional alerts reported in the Haifa Bay and Carmel areas. A separate overnight missile salvo was described as small in number, with missiles either intercepted or hitting open areas and no injuries reported. Sirens sounded across central Israel, the Jerusalem area, northern Israel, and parts of the West Bank as the IDF monitored further projectiles and issued early warnings in the north as more weapons were launched; more ballistic missile launches were detected by the IDF. The Israeli military said it struck Hezbollah’s Beirut stronghold in response. A Hebrew-language update describes alarms of a hostile air intrusion reported in Malakhi, with mentions of a missile near the Ein Prat satellite station. Authorities noted the incident concluded in Jerusalem, the center, and the Shomron region. An Iraqi Defense Ministry release said Muhammad Alaa Air Base and Ali Fallah Air Base have been targeted multiple times in recent days; the bases are described as sovereign Iraqi facilities and do not host US forces.
In US Military Role, multiple observers captured a KC-135 Stratotanker and other aircraft supporting a five-hour test refueling flight by a B-21 Raider over Eastern California, part of ongoing testing for the next-generation stealth bomber that is expected to enter service next year. Separately, footage published by US Central Command shows strikes against nine small vessels that could be used to lay naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz, following President Trump’s announcement regarding such targets.
In Regional Impacts, in parallel with the missile launches, Saudi Arabia said six ballistic missiles were launched by Iran toward Prince Sultan Air Base south of Riyadh and were intercepted by Saudi air defenses, with a sixth intercept reported in the eastern part of the country. After the alerts, Israeli authorities said there were no confirmed injuries, though medics treated some people for anxiety and others sought shelter as sirens continued to sound in various locations. The Saudi defense ministry reiterated that all six missiles aimed at the base were intercepted.
In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Hezbollah has reportedly learned lessons from previous wars and is adopting guerrilla tactics to avoid surveillance, reflecting an internal assessment that a direct war with Israel could be unavoidable.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted a message to the Iranian people urging them to seize the moment, suggesting that the conditions for regime change would soon be met and that “your dreams will become a reality” when the time is right. The remarks come amid US skepticism about the likelihood of regime change and ongoing discussions about the scope and duration of US action. Separately, alerts persisted in regions including the Sharon coast, Samaria, and Carmel, with ongoing red alerts in central Israel.
In Uplifting News, US President Donald Trump posthumously awarded Master Sergeant Roddie Edmonds the Medal of Honor for his World War II heroism, including recognition by Yad Vashem as Righteous Among the Nations. Edmonds saved more than 200 Jewish Americans at Stalag IXA; the award followed earlier recognitions and a documentary about his actions. Australia granted humanitarian visas to two more members of the Iranian women’s soccer team, joining five others who had already been offered asylum; the team has since traveled to Kuala Lumpur on their way to
