About this listen
Tehran Carpentry Workshop Blaze at Military Base
Karmei Tzur West Bank Infiltration Alert
Hatred of Israel Becomes Western Proxy War
The time is now 7:01 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, a large fire broke out in a carpentry workshop inside a Tehran military base on Friday, with smoke visible across the city. Firefighters extinguished the blaze and reported no injuries; authorities said the workshop is located in a military complex linked to Iran's military joint staff, and state media noted photos circulating on social media of an explosion in Tehran. The incident follows a week of blasts in Bandar Abbas and Ahvaz, with additional blasts reported in Karaj and the Parand neighborhood of Tehran; officials attributed those blasts to gas leaks and dismissed social media claims of casualties, while Iran International reported five people died in those incidents. Separately, satellite imagery cited by The New York Times shows Iran has repaired some ballistic missile facilities damaged in strikes last year, even as three main nuclear sites remain largely inoperative. The report indicates reconstruction is accelerating missile-related work, and analysts say Iran could retaliate with ballistic missiles if attacked, targeting Israel and US assets in the region; the piece notes work at more than half of the roughly two dozen sites struck in the June war, but there is little sign of significant progress toward enriching nuclear fuel or building a nuclear warhead, as negotiations in Oman pause for the time being.
In the Disputed Territories (Gaza, Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem), an infiltration alert was detected in Karmei Tzur in the West Bank on Friday, with the Home Front Command saying forces have been deployed to the area for safety scans and are in ongoing contact with residents and security officials. The situation remains a developing story.
In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, an opinion piece argues that hatred of Israel has become a proxy war in the West. Since October 8, 2023, there has been a widespread wave of hostility toward Israel that goes beyond diplomatic criticism or protest and is described as reflecting hostility to the West itself. The piece portrays Israel as the frontline of a global ideological struggle between democracy and militant forces, noting Europe’s historical responsibility for the Holocaust while arguing that Europe has become a major center of modern antisemitism, now expressed in forms branded as human rights or universal justice and used to obscure broader anti-Western sentiment.
