 HEADLINESIran expands war as Hezbollah enters LebanonMissiles Hit Bahrain and Kuwait; Riyadh TargetedFriendly Fire F-15E Crashes in KuwaitThe time is now 1:02 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, heavy attacks on positions of the Iranian regime this morning were reported in Sanandaj, on a missile weapons depot near the Sofian Chalehkhaneh area in Tabriz, and at an Army Aviation Base in Kerman. In parallel, there were reports of aerial incursions by aircraft in the north.In Iranian Retaliation, red alert sirens were heard across southern Israel as Iran continued launching missiles at Israel. Thick smoke rose from Naval Support Activity Bahrain, home to the US Navy’s 5th Fleet, after the base was reportedly targeted again by ballistic missiles and drones launched by Iran. Attacks were detected toward the Negev region, and Arab reports described a new wave of Iranian missiles and drones aimed at Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates. Iranian missiles also struck the US Embassy in Kuwait.In US Military Role, an F-15E Strike Eagle crashed over Kuwait this morning in what authorities described as a friendly-fire incident involving the US Air Force; both the pilot and WSO survived and were found by locals before being handed to authorities. A commentator suggested that if the pilots had been Iranian rather than American, the outcome might have been different. Separately, an American refueling aircraft was used to support Israeli jets en route to Iran, and the pilot involved was rescued and evacuated by locals.In Regional Impacts, sirens and alarms have been reported across broad swaths of the region. Al Jazeera reported sirens in Aqaba, Jordan, while sirens and alarms have also been heard in southern Israel and the Negev, with a second wave of alerts following earlier warnings. Central Israel has seen alarms as well, with ongoing warnings for southern Israel. Reports noted alarms and advisories across central Israel and in Beit Shemesh, and authorities warned of further alerts in the region. The region has also seen a Saudi target: Iranian missiles were reported targeting the Hyatt Regency hotel in Riyadh. A new wave of Iranian missiles and drones was said to be launched toward Doha, Kuwait, Dubai, Bahrain and Abu Dhabi, with Kuwait reporting overnight sirens and explosions. Other notes from the region included a second wave of alerts in the same area and a report of debris falling in central Israel, with additional mentions of regional security concerns and cross-border tension.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the conflict expanded as Hezbollah joined the fight, firing a volley of rockets toward Israel shortly after midnight, followed by a further volley about an hour or so later. The Israeli military said it had opened a campaign offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon in response to overnight rocket and drone attacks. Israeli officials, including the chief of staff, affirmed that a campaign offensive had begun against Hezbollah and that forces were targeting senior operatives, headquarters, and other targets in Beirut and southern Lebanon. Reports also highlighted the world’s first use of an Iron Beam laser system in action against a Hezbollah drone this morning, and the destruction of drones continued to be reported. An Iranian drone was reported to have hit a hotel in Bahrain last night. In Lebanon, the president condemned Hezbollah’s actions, stating that missile fire from Lebanese territory undermines long efforts to distance Lebanon from dangerous conflicts and that Lebanon cannot be used as a platform for proxy wars that the state won’t permit again.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
