from Israel Today: Ongoing War Report · host Noa Levi

HEADLINESIsrael strikes Iran Aerospace HQ Beirut HezbollahIranian missiles and drones hit BahrainIsraeli special forces clash near Nabi SheetThe time is now 1:01 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 launched a wave of airstrikes targeting Iran's Aerospace Headquarters, a facility tied to satellite activity that could play a role in future weapons development, and Hezbollah infrastructure in Beirut in the early hours of Monday. The military said it struck Iran’s Aerospace Headquarters and Hezbollah targets in Beirut after overnight missiles against Israel. It said five senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force liaison officials with Hezbollah were killed in an attack on the Ramada Hotel in Beirut, after residents were warned and most evacuated. Among those killed were a top Quds Force-Hezbollah official for intelligence, a top Palestinian intelligence official, and a top Quds Force-Hezbollah terror financing official, described as a key figure in transferring about $770 million from Iran to Hezbollah over the past year; at least two other senior Quds Force-Hezbollah officials were killed as well.In Iranian Retaliation, reports detail continued Iranian pressure in the region, including a drone strike near the Sitra area that produced smoke over Bahrain’s BAPCO oil refinery and a separate Iranian missile strike that injured 32 people in Bahrain. Video footage circulated of an Iranian missile strike on Bahrain, and authorities described Iran’s attacks as targeting Bahrain’s security. Separately, an assessment notes interceptor production has outpaced Iran’s missile output, with roughly 600 ballistic missiles and more than 1,500 drones launched toward 12 countries in the Middle East since the conflict began. The period has also seen threats to US bases in Iraq and to the United Arab Emirates stemming from actions by Iran and its allies.In US Military Role, Ukraine announced it had sent interceptor drones and a team of drone experts to protect US bases in Jordan after a US request for assistance on Thursday; the Ukrainian team left the following day and was slated to arrive in the Middle East soon, according to a description of the exchange published by Zelenskiy.In Regional Impacts, an editorial argues that Israel should not press Gulf partners to join the fight against Iran but should welcome cooperation when it occurs, cautioning that Gulf states have been targeted by hundreds of Iranian missiles and drones and that overt pressure could undermine hard‑won partnerships. Separately, Syrian Kurdish leaders in northeast Syria warned Iranian Kurds against aligning with the United States to fight Tehran, citing past betrayals and fears of abandonment, even as Iranian Kurdish militias in northern Iraq have consulted with the United States about potential attacks.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, reports from Lebanon indicate renewed attacks on the southern suburbs of Beirut, with fighting resuming near the city as part of the wider conflict. Lebanese media and Hezbollah also said Israeli special forces had landed by helicopter near Nabi Sheet in eastern Lebanon and exchanged fire with militants days after a raid connected to the search for missing Israeli navigator Ron Arad.In Israeli Domestic Politics, authorities warn that the fighting could intensify in the north, with concerns that Majdal Shams II could alter the course of the war. Sirens were heard in Misgav and in the Krayot region of northern Israel, and warnings of renewed rocket activity kept the northern regions on edge.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) MySwimPro Swimming Technique & Training Podcast MySwimPro MySwimPro is the number one fitness application for the fastest growing sport in the world.
