HEADLINES
- Israel strikes Tehran bunker; Khamenei reportedly eliminated
- Hospitals clear beds, expand home care
- Trump urges asylum for Iranian diplomats

The time is now 7:02 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Israel said its air force, guided by intelligence from Unit 8200 and Unit 9900, struck the secret underground bunker of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in central Tehran with about 50 aircraft and more than 100 munitions. The multi‑block complex was described as a key emergency command center for the regime, with multiple entrances and meeting rooms, and a goal of removing a vital asset from Iran’s crisis‑management structure. The operation, known as Roaring Lion, reportedly eliminated Khamenei before he could use the bunker, though the compound continued to be used by senior officials. Separately, the IDF issued an evacuation warning for the industrial area north of Qom, Iran.

In Regional Impacts, Israel’s health system moved to prepare for mass casualties in the opening phase of the conflict. Within 36 hours of Operation Roaring Lion’s start, the Health Ministry and Home Front Command had cleared hundreds of hospital beds, transferred patients, and expanded home hospitalization to preserve care continuity and protect patients and medical staff. The shift to a full emergency routine, Alert Level D, relied on early patient discharges, inter-hospital transfers, and expanded home care, helping most facilities meet ward decongestion targets within about a day and a half.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, coverage notes the Beqaa valley in Lebanon as part of the broader regional context of the confrontation.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, commentary and reporting describe a widening global response to the confrontation with Iran. An opinion piece portrays opposition to a war against Iran as cross‑cutting, with Russia and Turkey among those skeptical or opposed, alongside diverse Western voices. Separately, a report notes that President Trump urged Iranian diplomats to seek asylum and urged IRGC members to surrender, signaling ongoing political maneuvering around the crisis.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, a Hebrew‑language report carries the headline suggesting concern over potential missteps in the Israel arena, referencing dramatic developments connected to the leadership and regional tensions.

In Israeli Economy and Business, a Hebrew‑language piece argues that Israel faces a grave error and warns against selling what is described as a “golden stock,” framing the move as critical amid the broader crisis.
