About this listen
Iran fires cluster missiles at central Israel
US B-2s strike Iran under Epic Fury
Greek Chinese tankers cross Hormuz amid crisis
The time is now 4:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Iran fired cluster missiles again at central Israel, sparking fires and damage as eight impact sites were reported in Rishon Lezion, where a bomblet struck a street and set areas ablaze. A fire was also reported earlier at a Holon horse ranch, with no injuries reported. The Israeli Defense Forces said more than 350 terrorists have been killed since the war began, including 15 Hezbollah commanders.
In US Military Role, CENTCOM released footage showing B-2A Spirit long-range strategic stealth bombers with the 509th Bomb Wing taking off from Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, for strikes against targets in Iran under Operation Epic Fury.
In Regional Impacts, Israel’s National Security Council issued safety recommendations for Israelis in the United Arab Emirates amid ongoing Iranian drone and missile attacks targeting the UAE and Gulf states. The advisory urged Israelis to refrain from events and gatherings linked to Israel, avoid synagogues and businesses clearly identified with Israel, and limit unnecessary gatherings. The airport should generally be avoided, with only those holding valid flight tickets allowed near it. Israeli employees of companies in the UAE were told not to report to offices tied to Israeli operations. Israelis are advised not to take flights with layovers in the UAE due to flight instability, and supplementary flight operations for returning Israelis are expected to conclude by Sunday, March 15. The guidance follows Home Front Command recommendations.
Also in Regional Impacts, some shipowners are risking passage through the Strait of Hormuz to move oil past Iran. At least 10 ships operated by Greek companies and at least two Chinese-operated vessels have sailed through the strait since the February 28 strikes began. The voyages reflect profits from higher crude prices and tanker rates, even as the United States has declined to escort ships due to the risk. A Greek shipowner described the risks as huge but inherent in the sea, with the figures tracked by Lloyd’s List Intelligence and MarineTraffic, and officials noting the volatile security environment.
In Uplifting News, From shelters to fun: How Jerusalem is helping residents cope during Iran war, the Jerusalem Municipality has long offered online and other activities for locals across a wide range of topics. As Operation Roaring Lion continues, these programs provide succor and a constructive outlet to help keep people mentally engaged and connected amid the strain of ongoing hostilities.
