 HEADLINESIran fires missile at Eilat interceptedHormuz open to all ships except USLebanon Israel edge toward Hezbollah truceThe time is now 8:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Iran launched a ballistic missile toward Eilat in southern Israel early Sunday, triggering sirens from the IDF’s Home Front Command across Eilat and the Arava. As of about 1:30 a.m., there were no reports of hits or injuries; Magen David Adom and United Hatzalah said they had received no calls. A Hebrew report cited an interception of the Iranian projectile toward Eilat and said no casualties were reported at this stage, while quoting Iranian Revolutionary Guards claims that “if this is happening we have lost the war.” The same set of reports noted that, after preliminary alerts, alarms were sounded in Eilat due to the launch, and there were accounts that the IRGC attempted to shoot down an Israeli Air Force aircraft, suggesting a tense crisis atmosphere. Another Hebrew item said a warning had been detected and more alarms would be heard. This is a developing situation.In US Military Role, President Donald J. Trump gave NBC News interviews on the Iran War in which he criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for sending counter-drone systems and experts to the Middle East to help confront the Iranian threat, saying Zelensky should make a deal because Putin’s willing to make a deal, and that Zelensky is “far more difficult to make a deal with” than Putin. He also said he was surprised that Iran decided to attack other Middle Eastern countries in response to the US-Israeli strike operation, and that US strikes on Kharg Island on Saturday “totally demolished” most of the island, while implying there could be further actions. In another NBC appearance, Trump said he is not ready to make a deal to end the war with Iran because the terms aren’t good enough yet, but he is working with other countries on a plan to secure the Strait of Hormuz.In Regional Impacts, the Strait of Hormuz is open to all ships except US and Israeli vessels, according to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who said other ships may pass and that many currently avoid the strait for security concerns, which he insisted are not Iran’s doing. This comes after Donald Trump said the United States, along with several other countries affected by Iran’s actions, would send warships to keep the strait open and safe. Araghchi also addressed claims about Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, being wounded, stating there is no problem with the Leader and that he is performing his duties. He noted that ships continue to move through the Hormuz corridor.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, direct Israel-Lebanon truce talks are reportedly expected in coming days as Israel and Lebanon seek to end the renewed flareup with Hezbollah. France said it was willing to facilitate talks but denied reports that it had drafted a plan permitting Beirut to recognize Israel and end the state of war that has persisted since 1948. Lebanese officials told Reuters that Beirut is forming a delegation, with timing and venue not yet set; Paris and Cyprus were among cities being considered. Jerusalem has so far insisted that any negotiations require a full ceasefire from Lebanon and Hezbollah before talks proceed, while Lebanon seeks clarity on the agenda and the framework for negotiations.In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, Carlson and Owens are described as drawing significant attention amid anti-Israel conspiracies, with a piece noting that Carlson and Owens have repeatedly advanced controversial claims about Jewish groups and Israel, including insinuations surrounding the Chabad organization and broader narratives about Israel’s role in the conflict. A separate opinion piece discusses the Gracie Mansion dinner, arguing the invitation of an anti-Israel activist highlighted concerns about legitimizing figures whose prominence arose from campus protests that targeted Jewish students. Another item references a push titled The Regime That Vowed to Wipe Israel Off the Map Is Crumbling, described as a feature with accompanying material.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
