 HEADLINESIsrael claims air superiority over IranBeirut evacuation as Hezbollah leader reportedly killedUS intel sees no imminent Iran threatThe time is now 11:02 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Operation Lion's Roar, the briefing describes a rapid initial strike against Iran in which the IDF dropped over 2,000 bombs in 30 hours and achieved air superiority over Iranian airspace on Day One. The report notes the inactivation of Tehran’s HQ-9B air defense ring and the destruction of S-300PMU-2 batteries and their radar systems delivered by Russia in 2016. It cites approximately 700 IDF sorties and CENTCOM reporting more than 1,000 targets hit. The coverage adds that about half of Iran’s ballistic missile launchers have been destroyed across campaigns in 2025 and 2026, leaving Iran with an estimated 3,000 ballistic missiles and around 400 mobile launchers at the start of 2025, with hardened sites, tunnel networks, and dispersed positions refined over decades. It also points to the IRGC Aerospace Force’s road-mobile missile architecture and Ghadr-1 variants with a 1,950-kilometer range. The piece emphasizes this is an analysis of physics, not politics, and notes reports of attacks in western Iran and claims of missile launcher neutralization.In Regional Impacts, Beirut reports activity in the Lebanese capital, with accompanying notes of another wave of attacks in Tehran and reports of explosions in Kuwait.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, reports indicate Mohammad Raad, the head of Hezbollah's Parliamentary Council, is believed to have been eliminated in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut, a claim echoed by Al-Arabiya. Israel conducted strikes in Beirut, with documentation from the Dahieh district noting attacks on senior Hezbollah militants in the Beirut area. The IDF in Arabic issued evacuation orders for 53 villages in South Lebanon ahead of strikes, and panic spread as residents fled. Iraq is described as seeing a sequence of attacks against targets and bases of pro-Iranian militias across the country. The conflict also features cross-border exchanges, including Hezbollah drones and targeted strikes that expanded the war in Lebanon, with Israel claiming to have begun striking Hezbollah targets across the country after rocket fire from Lebanon in retaliation for the killing of Iran’s supreme leader.In the US Policy Concerning Israel, Trump administration officials told congressional staff that US intelligence did not signal an imminent threat from Iran or a plan for a preemptive strike against the United States, though there is a broader regional threat from Iran’s missiles and proxy forces, and officials offered no clarity on what would follow the joint US-Israeli operation. In remarks to ABC, President Donald Trump discussed the death of Iran’s supreme leader, claiming he had helped prevent attempts on his life and describing the operation as highly successful; he asserted it lasted four to five weeks, suggested successors were identified and eliminated early, and stated that he does not think Arab states should join the United States in actions against Iran.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
