 HEADLINESIran Hit by Massive Cyberattack Amid RoarUS Israel Airstrikes Kill Forty StudentsKataib Hezbollah HQ Targeted in IraqThe time is now 7:02 AM 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, authorities describe a broad escalation across military, cyber, and civil domains. The Israel Museum announced it relocated some of its major artworks and historical artifacts to a secure site and closed to the public as Israel and the United States launched coordinated operations against Iranian targets, with the Homefront Command urging residents to stay near protected spaces. Separately, Iran experienced a large-scale cyberattack during Operation Roar of the Lion that disrupted critical infrastructure, official news sites, and security communications, with internet traffic slashed to about 4 percent and major outlets such as IRNA and Tasnim offline, a move officials say aimed at hampering counterattacks and drone or missile coordination. An analysis highlighted Tehran’s two-pronged approach: a regional proxy network and a direct ballistic missile force, with roughly two thousand missiles in stock, a budgetary choice that sustains both apparatuses. In Iraq, Iranian-backed militias such as Kataib Hezbollah were reportedly struck amid clashes with US and Israeli forces, with the headquarters in Jurf al-Sakhr cited as a target, and Iran promising retaliation across the region. A hack of an Iranian prayer app displayed anti-regime messages urging defections, though responsibility remains unclear. The IDF issued an evacuation warning to Iranians near weapons facilities in English, urging immediate evacuation for safety. Iranian regime media have claimed a stockpile of ballistic missiles capable of hitting Israel, while reports have noted possible Saudi plans to act against Iran. Overnight, the US Naval Support Facility in Bahrain was reported to be on fire following an Iranian missile strike, and there were reports of damage at the Al-Udeid base in Qatar, with smoke rising from Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan and footage showing Israeli warplanes destroying missile launchers in Western Iran. A girls’ elementary school in Hormozgan province was struck by US/Israeli airstrikes, with at least 40 students reported killed and rescue operations continuing. In context, Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado warned of the Iranian regime’s regional influence as today’s operations targeted Iranian regime terror assets.In the US Policy Concerning Israel, the international response to the US-Israel strike unfolded with notable caution and restraint from several governments. A British spokesman stressed that Iran must not escalate and reiterated defending regional interests while offering consular support for nationals; Australia’s prime minister expressed solidarity with the Iranian people. Spain’s prime minister publicly opposed the unilateral action by the United States and Israel, and Colombia’s president criticized President Trump’s decision. US media reported dozens of fighter jets had taken off from aircraft carriers in the area to resume attacks on Iran. Context for the strike referenced warnings from the past, including last year’s remark by Iran’s navy commander promising to wipe Israel off the map, underscoring a tense and uncertain regional posture as Washington and its allies consider next steps.In Israeli Domestic Politics, the Airports Authority announced that the evacuation of passengers from Ben Gurion and Haifa airports is complete, with no passengers remaining in the terminals as professionals and security forces maintain readiness under the current security situation.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
