Mehrabad flames as Israel strikes Tehran
Israel targets energy sites, US weighs strikes
UN votes on diluted Hormuz resolution
The time is now 2:02 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Ukraine says Russia gave Iran a detailed list of Israeli energy targets inside Israel’s grid, a claim that has circulated as tensions rise. Iran fired a missile toward the south that was intercepted. Israel says it has carried out a broad wave of strikes in Tehran. Late on the night, flames were reported at Mehrabad Airport in Tehran following the strikes. The Israeli military issued a Persian-language warning urging Iranians to avoid using trains and to stay away from rail lines until 21:00 local time.
In US Military Role, Israel has approved a new target list focused on energy and economic sites, officials told CNN, as Prime Minister Netanyahu presses for tougher terms. A Wall Street Journal report indicates that President Trump could authorize strikes within days if talks fail, though negotiations continue.
In Regional Impacts, sirens were heard again in northern communities such as Kfar Giladi and Metula as tensions escalate. Iran fired a missile toward the south, which was intercepted. The Israeli military completed a broad wave of strikes on Tehran. The UN Security Council is expected to vote on a diluted resolution to unblock the Strait of Hormuz; the text no longer mentions authorization to use force. The vote is scheduled for 11:00 am, as Gulf states push for a clear path to free the strait, while Iran has imposed a blockade that has ripple effects on the global economy amid looming deadlines in the broader confrontation.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, nine illegal residents were found living in a south Tel Aviv apartment; they were detained and will face investigation as police continue targeted enforcement against illegal workers and their facilitators. Security officials on Monday also received a document from far-right West Bank settlers listing a series of terror attacks against Arab villages during Adar, detailing injuries, mosques set on fire, windows shattered, olive trees cut, and tires punctured, published alongside a poster condemning IDF Chief Major-General Avi Bluth.
