HEADLINES
IRGC launches first barrage at Tel Aviv
US Embassy Baghdad hit by Iranian-backed forces
Netherlands probes Iranian link to Rotterdam attack
The time is now 1:02 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Operation Lion's Roar, the IDF update says that with each elimination the IDF is continuing in our mission to dismantle the core of the Iranian terror regime.
In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, the IRGC released footage showing the launch of its "Hajj Qassem" ballistic missile in one of its recent barrages, for the first time since the start of the war. The IRGC said that the barrage was aimed at Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, and at US bases in Kuwait, Qatar, and the UAE.
In US Military Role, Trump pushes back on the president of Ireland calling US military action against Iran an “attack on international law.” “Look, he’s lucky that I exist, that’s all I can say.” “If you are going to allow countries that are sick and demented—and they are demented—to have nuclear weapons, everybody in the whole world should be very thankful.”
In Regional Impacts, dramatic footage from the Kiryat Shmona area a short time ago.
In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, pressure is building on the Houthis to act as a group stays on the sidelines amid the Iran war, with a Yemen expert noting the Houthis have a different relationship with Tehran than other proxies and may be pressured to carry out symbolic actions against Israel or American interests. A separate report describes explosions and a large fire at the US Embassy in Baghdad following an attack by Iranian-backed paramilitary forces and/or Iran. Netanyahu confidant on Lebanon talks says it is possible to move toward a peace agreement, but any deal would require preventing threats along the northern border and disarming Hezbollah.
In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, the Netherlands is probing whether Iran was involved in the Rotterdam synagogue attack, with prosecutors saying the four suspects acted with terrorist intent; investigators are examining a potential Iranian link.
Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.
