About this listen
Iran Deploys Khorramshahr 4 Missile Offensive
Nachala Saplings Rally Gaza Border for Security
Intelligence Docs Show Hamas Misread
The time is now 7:02 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In the conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Iran's state media Press TV said it has deployed the Khorramshahr 4, described as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ most advanced long-range ballistic missile, in one of the IRGC’s underground “missile cities” on Thursday. The weapon is said to have a range of 2,000 km (1,240 miles) and to be capable of carrying a 1,500 kg warhead. Press TV said the deployment marks a shift from a defensive posture to an offensive one, sending a clear message to regional and extra-regional adversaries. Iran-aligned Fars News Agency added that the Khorramshahr 4 has an accuracy of about 30 meters and is a core element of Iran’s active deterrence. The agency described speeds ranging from Mach 16 outside the atmosphere to Mach 8 inside, intended to shorten the reaction time of enemy defenses. It is said to feature intermediate guidance, reduced radar cross-section, and high resistance to electronic warfare to boost penetration capability.
In the Disputed Territories (Gaza, Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem), about 1,500 people gathered along the Gaza border on Thursday to march to the Gaza Strip and plant trees near the ruins of Nisanit, organizers from the Nachala Movement said. Participants carried Israeli flags and saplings to signal support for renewed Jewish settlement as a path to security, with organizers saying the turnout was meant to demonstrate public backing for Jewish communities as guarantors of security. A Nachala leader said the goal was to give the government the strength to overcome pressures and support new communities. Nisanit, evacuated in 2005, has figured prominently in border-security debates. The organizers described the event as a show of support for a security-first approach to a permanent Jewish presence. In Imatin, east of Qalqilya, security forces arrested a suspect during the operation.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, former prime minister and opposition leader Yair Lapid said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ignored repeated warnings in the days and months ahead of the October 7 massacre, citing newly published intelligence documents. The documents span from February 2023 to an hour before the attack and indicate that Israel’s defense echelon misread Hamas’s intentions, characterizing the group as deterred and seeking long-term economic arrangements. Lapid posted on X that he and others warned the public, and that Netanyahu ignored every warning. Prime Minister Netanyahu released pre-October 7 intelligence documents, saying they show how the defense echelon misread Hamas’s intentions and depicted the group as deterred. The documents include a summary of a high-level security assessment from September 27, 2023 and cover the period from February 2023 to an hour before the attack, with Netanyahu saying the release underscores a systemic failure and his refusal to establish a commission of inquiry. He also said the Judicial Selection Committee has not been convened since January 2025, and that a March 2025 law will increase political influence over judicial appointments. On the judiciary, Justice Minister Yariv Levin rejected the Attorney General’s characterization that he has veto power, while the attorney general argued such authority does not exist and that delaying judicial appointments harms the public interest.
