The time is now 10:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Operation Lion's Roar, the Israeli Air Force struck military targets in western and central Iran, the IDF confirmed, after an Iranian missile attack on Israel. Fires burn and smoke rises from the site of an Israeli strike on Isfahan in Central Iran. Tonight's retaliatory strikes by the Israeli Air Force reportedly targeted Iranian missile launch sites and other military bases operated by the IRGC, with possible strikes also targeting aircraft at Mehrabad International Airport in Tehran. Strikes were reported against Mehrabad International Airport and in Tehran as the campaign appeared to widen, and authorities indicated more details would follow.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, several pillars of thick black smoke were seen rising from a missile base operated by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps near Isfahan in Central Iran.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, images published by Lebanese media show the aftermath of Israeli airstrikes in Beirut, with several apartment buildings heavily damaged. The military said it struck Hezbollah terror infrastructure in the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital. Footage also shows a major Hezbollah tunnel complex near Beaufort Castle, built over more than a decade with Iranian support, located about six kilometers from Metula. The underground site served as a Hezbollah command center and contained weapons, living quarters, and military infrastructure. Troops are now working to destroy the tunnel facility after a long-planned operation.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, fans were evacuated as a Hapoel Tel Aviv versus Hapoel Jerusalem semifinal was halted before the fourth quarter after updated Home Front Command restrictions went into effect. The nationwide policy, running from 10 p.m. Sunday to 8 p.m. Monday, limits gatherings to 200 outdoors and 500 indoors, closes beaches, and restricts educational activities, while workplaces may operate only where employees can reach a protected space during an alert. Separately, the government moved forward with an updated bill on the Oct. 7 probe, allowing the new state comptroller to appoint any members of the inquiry panel not chosen by the opposition, a change that underscores ongoing political contention over how the investigation should proceed and who leads it.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, tens of thousands of people marched through Toronto for the city’s Walk with Israel, organizers said, describing it as the largest turnout in the event’s history amid growing concerns about antisemitism in Canada. Organizers estimate roughly 60,000 participants joined the march.

In Uplifting News, new footage released by Israeli Police shows the rescue of hostages Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv by Yamam forces from Hamas captivity in the central Gaza Strip two years ago. The rescue mission was named Operation Arnon after Yamam officer Chief Inspector Arnon Zmora, who was critically wounded during the operation and later died of his wounds.
