About this listen
Israel braced for fresh missile waves
Iran escalates missile salvos after Khamenei death
US backs Operation Epic Fury strike
The time is now 2:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, sirens in Jerusalem and across central Israel highlighted a fresh volley of missiles as the conflict continues to unfold. Shortly after the initial alerts, authorities warned that another wave of missiles is moving to Israel, with northern regions potentially hearing additional sirens in the coming minutes. In central Israel, red alert sirens sounded as missiles persisted, prompting residents to shelter and follow guidance from the Home Front Command. A further wave prompted renewed shelter advisories, with officials urging careful precaution until new instructions are issued.
In Iranian Retaliation, Iran intensified its ballistic missile attacks early Sunday after confirming the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The acknowledgment came after 3:00 a.m. Sunday, and observers noted it took several hours to mount what appeared to be a coordinated response. The pace and volume of salvos on Sunday were described as unprecedented for this round of fighting, with reports comparing it to the largest rounds seen in June 2025. On Saturday, about 150 missiles were fired across the day; Sunday saw more frequent salvos, with dozens per volley in multiple waves, according to various accounts. The Israeli military has not publicly confirmed exact totals.
In US Military Role, reports from the Washington Post describe weeks of behind-the-scenes pressure from Israel and Saudi Arabia that preceded Trump’s decision to launch Operation Epic Fury in a joint action with Israel. Netanyahu publicly pressed for strikes, while Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman privately urged action, even as Riyadh publicly said it would not permit its territory to be used. Officials cited the collapse of nuclear talks in Geneva and the rebuilding of facilities struck during the June war as motives for the move. Separately, Trump warned Iran that any strikes would be met with “a force that has never been seen before,” signaling a hard line as the conflict escalates.
In Regional Impacts, residents report returning to bomb shelters as sirens and warnings ripple across the region. Authorities have urged people to stay inside shelters and follow updates from the Home Front Command, as the threat remains elevated and missiles continue to target multiple population centers.
In Uplifting News, Iranians express joy after the elimination of Khamenei, saying they can take their country back, according to reported remarks. A separate note from Abu Ali describes a sense of reunion.
