HEADLINES- IDF Destroys Isfahan Qadr Missile Sites- First Use of LUCAS Drones Shocks Allies- Missiles Hit Jordan as Regional Front ExpandsThe time is now 7:02 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Operation Lion's Roar, the IDF says it destroyed Qadr-class ballistic missiles and their launch platforms at Isfahan in Iran. The Qadr 110, the most advanced in the Qadr family, is a two‑stage missile with a solid-fuel engine that shortens launch preparations and complicates pre-launch strikes. Its estimated range is between 1,500 and 2,000 kilometers, allowing strikes across Israel, and experts have noted the Qadr design could, with development, extend to longer ranges up to about 5,000 kilometers and potentially serve anti-space satellite roles. Isfahan hosts both nuclear sites and ballistic missile facilities and has been a repeated target in June 2025 and in the current conflict. The IDF also disclosed that several dozen missile launchers were destroyed and more than 300 were neutralized, signaling a broad campaign against launch capabilities.In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, central Israel is targeted, with launches from Iran detected and directed toward the central region identified as the target.In US Military Role, CENTCOM chief Admiral Brad Cooper provided an update on operations against Iran, noting the deployment and first use of new one‑way attack drones. The aircraft are known as LUCAS, the Low-cost Unmanned Combat Attack System, and they are based in the Middle East. CENTCOM has described Task Force Scorpion Strike as the effort to accelerate affordable drone technology into the hands of warfighters. LUCAS drones are designed to operate autonomously and can be launched by catapults, rocket-assisted takeoff, or mobile ground platforms, with an extensive operational range.In Regional Impacts, the Home Front Command has released the public from taking shelter in open spaces, noting that all missiles fell in Jordan. The first launched missile also fell in Jordan. Drones launched from Ethiopia struck targets inside Sudan, with Sudan’s Foreign Ministry calling it a violation of sovereignty and an act of aggression. Iran appears to have opened another front, with Turkish defense authorities reporting an Iranian missile that crossed the airspace of Syria and Iraq en route to Turkey being intercepted by NATO defenses, and Turkey saying it will consult with NATO partners.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the IDF says some Gulf countries may already be fighting Iran or have shown willingness to do so, with foreign reports naming Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar among those involved or considering involvement; the IDF also notes more than 1,000 American soldiers are physically present in Israel to aid in joint war coordination. Separately, a submarine attack on an Iranian vessel occurred off the southern coast of Sri Lanka near Galle, with the vessel sinking and at least 65 people missing and one confirmed death; no information about the submarine has been released.In Israeli Domestic Politics, the central region shows a forecasted arrival time of 13:54 in the current listings, a time stamp echoed in two separate entries.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
