HEADLINES
- Warhead Intact as Iran Fires Nine Missiles
- US Deploys 2200 Marines to Middle East
- Shrapnel Hits Central Israel with 58 Wounded

The time is now 1:02 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, the ballistic missile impact on Zarzir is believed to have occurred because the warhead remained intact despite interception, the IDF says. The military notes that Iran has fired nine missiles at Israel over the last two days, a steep drop since the war began on February 28, which could prompt new leniencies in mobility restrictions by Saturday night. The IDF says it has dropped more than 10,000 bombs during the conflict to date, and attacks are increasingly being developed based on real-time intelligence rather than pre-selected targets. On the northern front, the IDF is reinforcing the Lebanese front under the Northern Command, moving the Paratroopers Brigade and elements of the 98th Division to the area. There was also a separate report of another launch toward central Israel.

In US Military Role, 2,200 Marines with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, accompanied by the Tripoli Amphibious Ready Group, which includes the USS Tripoli, the USS San Diego, and the USS New Orleans, alongside roughly 20 F-35B jets, have been ordered to deploy to the Middle East amid the ongoing conflict with Iran.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, shrapnel from an intercepted Iranian ballistic missile fell in central Israel, starting a fire. Hezbollah rocket attacks wounded two people in northern Israel, with about 58 wounded in an earlier Iranian missile barrage. Tel Aviv area shrapnel was reported, and authorities said no injuries had been reported so far; Magen David Adom said no casualties and dispatched teams to three locations. A wave of strikes from Lebanon earlier in the afternoon left two people lightly wounded in northern Israel, and overall some 58 individuals were wounded by the third Iranian missile barrage targeting the north early Friday. Seven firefighting teams responded. Alarms were heard in Avivim after Lebanon fire, and central Israel schools will remain closed all next week due to a high risk level.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, Former NYC Mayor Adams: Every Jewish institution is a potential terrorist target. If your school or synagogue does not have security, you are putting your community at risk.

In Uplifting News, Holding the home front: Women’s lives in wartime Israel, Across the country, women are sustaining families, communities, and institutions while living with the uncertainty of conflict with Iran, their stories revealing resilience on the home front. One example is Yocheved, 24, a second-year law student at Bar-Ilan University in Givat Shmuel who made aliyah from the United States a year and a half ago, balancing studies with National Service and family responsibilities as the war unfolds.
