About this listen
Ramat Gan Shrapnel Kills Elderly Couple
US Strikes Iranian Missile Sites at Hormuz
Iranian Projectile Hits UAE Base; Australians Safe
The time is now 10:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Operation Lion's Roar, Ambassador Yechiel Leiter marked Day 18 of Roaring Lion, noting questions about what the Basij is and why its leaders were taken out, and he said we will stay the course and continue to do what is right.
In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, sirens sounded in the south during Iran's latest launch as eight suspected shrapnel impact sites were reported. A man and a woman in their 70s were killed in Ramat Gan by shrapnel, and five others were lightly wounded. Tel Aviv Savidor Center train station was hit by shrapnel, with trains suspended and shuttle services operating between Herzliya, Tel Aviv Savidor Center, and Ben Gurion Airport. An Magen David Adom ambulance was struck by shrapnel as emergency crews operated at multiple central sites; firefighting teams were dispatched to districts including Dan, Ramat Gan, and the Savidor area. Five major impact sites were recorded in Ramat Gan.
In US Military Role, CENTCOM said US forces attacked Iranian missile sites along the Strait of Hormuz with 5,000-pound deep penetrator munitions, as part of Operation Epic Fury, aimed at safeguarding international shipping in the strait. The strikes come amid warnings that operations at the Strait of Hormuz could prolong the conflict for weeks or months; satellite imagery shows ships waiting outside the strait as a precaution, given Iran’s threats to target vessels.
In Regional Impacts, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said an Iranian projectile hit near the Al Minhad Air Base in the United Arab Emirates and that all Australian defence personnel were safe. There was minor damage to an accommodation block and a medical facility due to a small fire from the impact on a road leading to the base.
In US Policy Concerning Israel, President Trump shared on X a post from Joe Kent supporting military action against Iran.
In Uplifting News, the sky over northern Israel tonight drew prayers for the nation. A separate note from Tel Aviv described a bunker party as a reminder that people continue to live, love, and enjoy life despite the tensions.
Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.
