HEADLINESIsrael Launches Lion's Roar Strikes on TehranUS Weighs Seizing Kharg Island Oil DepotIranian AI Misinformation Triggers Trump WarningThe time is now 11:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Operation Lion's Roar, rocket and missile alert sirens were activated across central and southern Israel shortly after the missile barrage, as the IDF announced it has begun a wide-scale wave of strikes targeting Iranian terror regime infrastructure in Tehran.In Iranian Retaliation, President Donald J. Trump criticized Iranian misinformation and disinformation campaigns, highlighting Iranian and Pro-Iranian actors’ use of AI to create videos and photos depicting events that did not happen or were seriously exaggerated. He also addressed reports that five US tankers and others were struck in an Iranian strike, saying only one was damaged and being repaired while the others remain airworthy, and he floated the idea of charging media outlets and personalities that disseminate false information with treason. Separately, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Al-Araby al-Jadeed that Iran will demand an end to US and Israeli strikes indefinitely and that reparations must be paid to end the war, insisting the scenario cannot be repeated and that a final end, with guarantees against future aggression, is required.In US Military Role, US President Donald J. Trump is working to assemble a multinational coalition to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and is weighing a seizure of Iran's oil depot on Kharg Island, a move that would require US boots on the ground in Iran if tankers remain bottled up in the Persian Gulf. In the United Kingdom, crowds gathered at RAF Fairford to watch US B-1 Lancer bombers head to war, with onlookers describing the moment as surreal. Video also shows a US Navy F/A-18E Super Hornet from Carrier Air Wing Nine on the USS Abraham Lincoln making low passes and strafing a target near Chabahar in Southeastern Iran, near the Pakistan border, using its M61A2 Vulcan Rotary Cannon.In Regional Impacts, Australia said it will not send navy ships to secure the Strait of Hormuz, warning that the longer the war continues, the greater the impacts will be felt across the Asia-Pacific while fuel supplies hold. Japan said it does not currently plan to dispatch escort ships to the Middle East and is continuing to examine what it can do independently within its legal framework. Dubai authorities reported precautionary measures at Dubai International Airport, with flights temporarily suspended and a fire actively burning in the vicinity following a drone-related incident.In US Policy Concerning Israel, President Trump described his relationship with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as extraordinary.In Israeli Economy and Business, Israel Railways will operate train service throughout the night to key locations nationwide starting tonight, with trains running all night at a frequency of one per hour in each direction on two main lines connecting Be'er Sheva Center, Ben Gurion Airport, Tel Aviv Savidor Center, and Haifa Hof HaCarmel, as well as Jerusalem Yitzhak Navon, Ben Gurion Airport, and Tel Aviv Savidor Center. A free shuttle will circulate overnight between Haifa Hof HaCarmel and Nahariya in both directions.In Uplifting News, the road warriors of Israeli beach volleyball, Elazar and Kevin Cuzmiciov, secured a bronze medal at the Beach Pro Tour Challenge in Bhubaneswar, a historic podium for Israel after years of travel and funding navigation and long seasons on the road. The Israel Women’s National Basketball Team also claimed top spot, defeating Luxembourg 76-52 to move to first place in European Championship Qualification Group A with five wins; the win came with balanced scoring and strong defense, setting up a potential 6-0 run when they meet Ireland in Latvia on Tuesday.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.
