HEADLINESIsrael strikes Tehran destroys 16 IRGC planesIsrael intercepts 110 drones from IranUS taps UK bases for Iran showdownThe time is now 10:22 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Operation Lion's Roar, overnight the Israeli Air Force conducted a broad wave of strikes across Tehran and on military infrastructure located at Merabad Airport in Tehran. Mehrabad Airport was used by the Quds Force of the IRGC and served as a central hub for arming and funding the regime’s terrorist proxies in the Middle East. Aircraft loaded with weapons and cash took off from the airport numerous times and landed across the region for the use of the Iranian terror regime’s proxies. In the strike, 16 aircraft of the Quds Force unit of the IRGC were precisely dismantled. These aircraft were transferring weapons to Hezbollah as part of the regime’s effort to arm the terrorist organization, which serves as its main terrorist proxy. Also targeted were several Iranian fighter jets that posed a threat to Israeli Air Force aircraft operating in Iranian airspace. There were also reports of a massive airstrike on a government building in Tehran. Head of the Israel Air Force, General Tomer Bar, participated personally in sorties against the Iranian regime.In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Iran continues to fire missiles at Israel as IDF destroys IRGC aircraft used to supply proxies. The military said it had intercepted more than 110 drones launched from Iran toward Israel since the start of the operation, and Hezbollah expanded rocket fire toward communities in the Galilee.In Iranian Retaliation, Iranian officials told CNN they are prepared to strike new US targets, warning that if the US attacks new targets, Iran will respond with new targets.In US Military Role, the United States has started using British bases for certain operations against Iran during the Middle East war, the UK government announced. Britain’s defence ministry said the US had begun using the military sites for specific defensive operations to prevent Iran firing missiles into the region. Those bases are Fairford in Gloucestershire, western England, and the UK-US Diego Garcia base on the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean. A US Air Force B-1 Lancer bomber landed at Fairford on Saturday, and an American C-5 Galaxy plane could be seen on the runway. A US Air Force C-17A Globemaster III transport aircraft arrived at Nevatim Air Base in Israel after departing Anniston Army Depot and transiting through Ramstein Air Base, delivering interceptor missiles for the THAAD ballistic missile defense system.In Regional Impacts, the UAE interior ministry called on residents to stay in a safe place amid the missile threat. The Dubai attack is cited as part of a broad regional campaign by Iran in the Gulf, with reporting suggesting the operation may be part of a calculated Iranian strategy rather than a spur-of-the-moment response. Iran struck a vessel 10 nautical miles off the coast of Saudi Arabia. There are reports of missiles launched from Bahrain to Iran. Iran attempted to strike Dubai’s air-traffic control radar with a Shahed-136 drone, but the drone likely fell short of the target. India allowed an Iranian warship to dock at Kochi on humanitarian grounds after the US sank the Iranian frigate Dena off Sri Lanka, with reports of hundreds of casualties in that attack. The docking occurred the same day, in what was described as a humanitarian gesture amid mounting regional tensions.In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, a demonstration in support of the Ayatollah regime in Iran and against Israel and the US took place yesterday in London, UK.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
