 HEADLINESIsrael broadcasts IAF cockpit footage over IranRussia lends Iran intel to target USFive Israeli soldiers wounded near Lebanon borderThe time is now 11:02 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Operation Lion's Roar, the Israeli Air Force publishes footage from the cockpit of IAF fighter jets flying over Iran. A recording captures a pilot saying, "We continue to fight, as required around the clock, and feel your support all the time. We wish you, Israeli citizens, a safe and quiet Shabbos." The release highlights ongoing air activity and serves as a message from the home front.In US Military Role, Russia is reported to be providing Iran with intelligence to target US forces in the Middle East, according to The Washington Post, citing three officials familiar with the matter. The report says Moscow has been giving Iran the locations of US warships and aircraft since the start of the war, signaling a widening involvement by a major rival. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov urged an end to hostilities and a return to political and diplomatic efforts. A Russia expert at the Washington Institute suggested that Putin’s priorities include Ukraine and that direct confrontation with the United States would be unlikely. Separately, heavy damage was reported at Camp Arifjan in Kuwait, where the majority of US casualties have occurred.In Regional Impacts, alarms in the north were sounded as fighting spilled across borders. Reports describe a young woman lightly wounded by shrapnel from interception fire, with attacks and fires near the Lebanon border as Hezbollah activities intensify; Lebanese authorities note thousands have fled the area. The French Navy aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle crossed the Strait of Gibraltar and entered the Mediterranean en route to the Middle East. Experts warn that securing oil shipping lanes amid the Middle East war will be challenging: the United States and France have pledged to protect shipping, but limits on warship availability and Iran’s weaponry complicate the effort, as a sizable portion of the world’s crude and LNG moves through the Strait of Hormuz. French President Emmanuel Macron spoke of building a coalition to restore and secure traffic through Hormuz, the Suez Canal, and the Red Sea.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, five Israeli soldiers were badly wounded by anti-tank fire near the Lebanon border, with three other Givati soldiers lightly wounded. Hezbollah said it had launched a series of operations targeting Israeli sites. The incident follows a pattern of cross-border clashes that have heightened tension along the Lebanon border, with ongoing displacement in the region and calls from northern leaders for clear war goals from IDF leadership. Earlier rounds of cross-border fire and Israeli air activity prompted red alerts and retaliatory airstrikes against Hezbollah targets across southern Lebanon, as cross-border threats persist and leadership questions mount over a cohesive strategy.In US Policy Concerning Israel, a flash survey by the Jewish People Policy Institute finds that a majority of connected American Jews support the United States entering a war against Iran while fearing potential damage to Israel’s image in the United States and rising antisemitism. The poll shows 68% in favor, 26% opposed, and 7% undecided, with support varying by political ideology. Trump supporters show strong backing, while strong liberals are more divided. President Trump asserted there would be no deal with Iran and that the United States would require unconditional surrender. He also said thousands of people are being moved quietly out of various Middle Eastern countries. In policy moves, the United States lifted sanctions on UAE-based Globe Trekkers, a freight and logistics company.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
