 HEADLINESIsrael strikes Tehran weapon sites escalates conflictHezbollah weapons smuggling arrests spark regional furyIsrael Apartheid Week sparks protests worldwideThe time is now 10:02 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, overnight the Israeli Air Force, acting on IDF intelligence, completed a wave of strikes targeting weapons production sites belonging to the Iranian regime in Tehran. The operations focused on sites that produced aerial and naval weaponry and were used to arm the regime’s proxies across the Middle East, including Hamas and Hezbollah, as well as other militant groups. In parallel, defenses were struck, including an anti-aircraft missile launch position and a site containing the regime’s air defense systems.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Lebanese authorities issued arrest warrants for four Hezbollah members in a military court, with Judge Ghada Abu Alwan presiding. The suspects are accused of smuggling weapons into southern Lebanon; two admitted to transporting 21 Grad missiles, 3,000 rounds of ammunition, and eight machine guns from the Bekaa Valley to the south, saying the attacks were to confront the IDF and were claimed to be protected by international law. A further two Hezbollah members are being questioned by the Military Investigative Judge in connection with the alleged transport of weapons. Separately, Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem said negotiating with Israel under fire would amount to surrender and urged unity, with fighters prepared to continue “without limits.” In related political moves, a law proposed by Prime Minister Lapid to declare Qatar a hostile state drew support from Yesh Atid, the Democrats, and Israel Beiteinu, while Blue and White abstained and coalition and Arab MPs opposed.In Israeli Domestic Politics, a Jordan Valley farming family recounts their work and a community initiative to add a spiritual dimension to their land. Eight years after settling the area, the farm has grown into a home, and now a synagogue is being built in the heart of the farm in memory of a beloved child and a grandfather. A fundraising campaign has been launched to complete the project, inviting community support. Separately, a political move tied to regional policy has also been noted with a law proposal to designate Qatar as an enemy state, which drew mixed reactions across the Knesset.In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, Israel Apartheid Week is being marked globally with a focus on student protests and BDS support. The week runs from March 21 to March 28, with the theme IAW Back on Campuses Worldwide: Palestine Frees Us All, marking 21 years since the first event at the University of Toronto in 2005. Events are taking place in countries including Korea, Sweden, Italy, Brazil, and Japan, as well as in Gaza. In Europe, protests planned for March 27 in more than 20 cities aim to pressure Israel’s participation in Horizon Europe. The Czech police have arrested three suspects in connection with an arson attack on a drone production facility in Pardubice claimed by anti-Israel radicals. One detainee is a US-born student, with two others detained in the Czech Republic; investigators say the suspects face long prison terms on terrorism-related charges.In Uplifting News, after the strike: how Israel rebuilds lives in real time, the JDC’s emergency unit works with local municipalities to deliver rapid aid, address trauma and bureaucracy, and guide families from the first hours of loss through long-term recovery, ensuring no one is left behind.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
