Iran launch triggers Israeli sirens nationwide
THAAD stockpile depleting; replenishment may take years
Hezbollah seeks creative abductions of IDF soldiers
The time is now 6:02 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Sirens sound from Jerusalem to Upper Galilee following launch from Iran, no injuries reported, sirens sounded across large swaths of Israel after a launch from Iran on Wednesday morning. Initial reports circulated of fallen pieces of interceptors or fragments in the Sharon region of the West Bank, and there were reports of a fragment impact in Hadera. Magen David Adom said it had not received any reports of injured people, and its teams responded to at least seven scenes of impact in central Israel. Earlier in northern Israel, a drone chase lasted about 30 minutes in the Upper and Lower Galilee and was eventually intercepted. This is a developing story.
In US interceptor stockpiles being depleted by Iran war, could take years to replenish, a new Congress study on THAAD warns that the war has consumed about a third of the interceptor stockpile, which is produced at about 100 units per year. The Payne Institute estimates the stock draw and notes that THAAD has intercepted roughly 90% of Iranian missiles and drones, with a performance similar to Israel’s Arrow 3 in defending skies. The report says that in June, ninety-two interceptions were conducted by THAAD out of an estimated 632 interceptors, and it could take three to eight years to replenish the stockpile. The study emphasizes that replenishment would require substantial time and resources.
In סולימאן סוילו, לשעבר שר הפנים של טורקיה במסר לישראל: "המרחק מהגבול הטורקי לישראל הוא 5 שעות. אם ישראל תגרור אותנו לפרובוקציות, נקריב 300-400 אלף שהידים וישראל תחדל מלהתקיים." ## הסרטון באדיבות ערוץ מרד החליפים. כדי להגיב לכתבה לחצו כאן A former Turkish interior minister, Suleiman Suilo, delivered a message to Israel warning that the distance from the Turkish border to Israel is five hours and that provoking Turkey could lead to the sacrifice of 300,000 to 400,000 martyrs and Israel ceasing to exist. The video is credited to a channel, with prompts to engage with the story.
In Hezbollah looking for 'creative' ways to abduct IDF soldiers to slow disarmament process -report, Hezbollah is said to be seeking ways to seize Israeli troops along border areas where success is more likely, part of its broader confrontation with Israel. Cited intelligence sources described the group as looking for vulnerabilities to gain bargaining chips and bolster its standing in Lebanon, potentially complicating efforts to strip the group of weapons. The report also notes that some Hezbollah operatives remain in Israeli custody, including a senior naval officer, and that forces loyal to a regional figure are moving to seal the Lebanon-Syria border as part of related tensions.
In High Court to hear challenge to haredi school funding over retroactive approval claims, Israel’s High Court of Justice is set to hear at 12:30 p.m. a case challenging budget transfers to haredi educational networks. The dispute has widened from a single Finance Committee vote into a broader question of executive power, Knesset oversight, and the legal basis for continued state funding. Justices Yael Willner, Ofer Grosskopf, and Gila Canfy-Steinitz will oversee the proceedings. The case centers on a December 25, 2025 Finance Committee transfer involving education funds, including money directed to haredi institutions. The Knesset Legal Department contends the Finance Ministry acted unlawfully by advancing most funds before committee approval and that lawmakers were not clearly told they were effectively ratifying funds already disbursed. The petitions were brought by Hiddush and Democrats MK Naama Lazimi and were heard alongside a parallel petition by Yesh Atid lawmakers. In Lazimi’s la
