HEADLINESTel Aviv pummeled by cluster munitionGulf leaders meet to condemn Iran attacksLebanon rocket fire heightens northern Israel tensionsThe time is now 10:02 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, authorities report that the latest Iranian missile attack on central Israel left at least two people lightly injured and sparked reports of a collapsing building in the area, with emergency responders on the scene. One report said a member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force was struck near a launcher, with his arms and legs severed, and funeral footage shown for the severed limbs. Sirens sounded across central Israel as a cluster-warhead missile hit multiple sites including Tel Aviv, Hulon, Bat Yam and Or Yehuda, with a projectile also reported on Road 44 and, at the time, no injuries publicly confirmed. Hebrew-language updates described additional hits in Or Yehuda and Bet Dagan with no injuries. Earlier, a missile attack produced shrapnel across several areas, with no casualties reported at that moment. The Israeli Air Force stated that failures to intercept Iranian ballistic missiles that struck Dimona and Arad, injuring more than 150 people, were due to separate and unrelated issues, with no systemic failure in air defenses; the missiles—likely from the Ghadr family—carried heavy warheads, and although both were engaged, interceptors failed to destroy them. Since the start of the conflict, more than 400 ballistic missiles have been launched at Israel, with about a 92 percent interception rate for threats to populated areas, though a small number of impacts—including cluster munition strikes—have caused significant damage. An update later reported 15 people injured in Tel Aviv, including one in moderate condition, after a cluster munition impact, with emergency teams responding to multiple bomblet sites across the city and surrounding areas. Video footage circulated showing a ballistic missile carrying cluster munitions striking a car in central Tel Aviv this morning. Alarms continued in central Israel as the situation remained volatile and ongoing.In Regional Impacts, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman met in Jeddah to discuss the challenges facing the region amid the current clashes with Iran. The leaders condemned Iranian attacks on Gulf Cooperation Council states and their vital and civil installations, stressing concerns about regional security and stability. Cairo’s stance, aligned with Gulf countries, underscores the broader regional impact of the fighting and the importance of stability for regional economies and security.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, observers note a widening confrontation with Iran and its allies. A commentator urged readers to study maps of Khorramabad to grasp the scale of Iran’s missile infrastructure, noting that a single site appeared to have required hundreds of bombs. In the north, alarms sounded after rocket fire from Lebanon as Iran appears to be increasing launches toward Israel, with reports of multiple bombardment sites and heightened tensions near the border. Footage also circulated from the moment of a strike on the Alkasmiya Bridge, illustrating the rapid, forceful responses accompanying the ongoing crisis.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
