HEADLINESMissiles hit central Israel 53-year-old seriously hurtFBI Seizes Iranian Hacking DomainsIDF targets Litani bridges aiding HezbollahThe time is now 7:02 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, one 53-year-old man is in serious condition and 14 people are in mild condition after missiles attributed to the Iranian regime hit central Israel.In Regional Impacts, the Philippines will temporarily allow the use of Euro-II fuels for certain vehicles and sectors to maintain a continuous and accessible fuel supply. Eligible are model year 2015 and earlier vehicles, traditional jeepneys, power plants and generators, and the marine and shipping sectors. The measure requires Euro II fuels to be segregated from Euro IV across storage, transport, and retail systems. Manila switched to cleaner Euro-IV fuels in 2016; Euro-IV has a sulfur content of 50 parts per million versus 500 ppm for Euro-II. Last week thousands of jeepney drivers protested a more than doubling of local diesel prices after global oil prices surged because of the US-Israel war on Iran. Separately, a missile fragment fell in the Wadi Saqra area of central Amman during Eid prayers; security teams secured the area and urged residents to stay away from the site. The fragment is believed to be interception debris linked to ongoing Iranian missile activity, and Iran renewed ballistic missile fire toward central Israel and Jerusalem. Jordan says Iran fired 240 missiles and drones at Jordan in three weeks, with 222 shot down and 18 getting through. Alarms were reported in Eilat, and alarms were activated in other locations.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz directed the IDF to destroy all bridges over the Litani River used for Hezbollah movement and to accelerate the destruction of Lebanese homes in contact-line villages to neutralize threats to Israeli communities, with residents in southern Lebanon told they could move northward to the Litani for safety. The IDF described operations to reach the anti-tank line and key positions as quickly as possible, and the IAF previously struck the Zarieh Bridge over the Litani because Hezbollah had used it to transfer forces. Israeli officials say Hezbollah has been adapting its movements in the area. Meanwhile, Israel’s tunnel-hunting effort in Gaza has slowed as denser tunnel networks in the north complicate mapping, with officials warning Hamas retains operational control in central camps as attention shifts north and toward Iran. Reports from Lebanon indicate the army evacuated two bases near Al Kassmiya, Bergaj Rahal, and along the coastal road after Israel threatened to strike that coastal route. In the north, northern Israel remains under ongoing mortar and rocket fire from Lebanon, underscoring the widening spillover of the conflict.In US Policy Concerning Israel, the FBI seized four Iranian domains tied to hacking, cyberwarfare, and threats against the United States and its allies. The domains, linked to Iran’s Intelligence and Security Ministry, were used to conduct hacking and transnational repression schemes, claim credit for hacks, publish stolen data, and call for the killing of journalists and regime dissidents. The Department of Justice obtained a court order to seize the domains as part of a broader effort to disrupt Iran’s online operations. Attorney General Pam Bondi said online terrorist propaganda can incite real-world violence and praised the actions of the National Security Division and the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland for removing this network from broadcasting anti-American rhetoric.In Israeli Domestic Politics, four Umm el-Fahm residents were arrested after police and the Shin Bet uncovered a planned terror attack; the suspects, all in their 20s, had been training with illegal airsoft weapons and were found with pistols, a Carlo automatic weapon, an M-16, and ammunition. The Welfare Ministry also issued an updated briefing showing 2,734 evacuees housed in reception facilities, with 1,734 registered and another 1,000 evacuated overnight from the Arad and Dimona area, in coordination with local authorities. Security incidents in the West Bank described as Israeli civilians carrying out more than 20 attacks on Saturday night left at least 11 Palestinians injured, with dozens of vehicles and buildings set ablaze; incidents included rocks thrown at Palestinians and their vehicles, road blockages, graffiti, and arson. In one reported instance in Qaryut, a suspected explosive was thrown at a Palestinian residence, causing two structures and three vehicles to burn. Police noted a separate fatal incident when a Palestinian vehicle crash killed an Israeli teenager and injured his brother; investigators continued the inquiry.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi. ...
