The time is now 10:02 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Operation Lion's Roar, on day 26 of Roaring Lion, the effort remains focused on the Iranian regime’s naval capabilities, with key facilities being dismantled one by one.

In Iranian Retaliation, rockets launched from Lebanon toward central Israel triggered alarms in the Gush Dan and Sharon regions without warning. In Lebanon, two reservists and a battalion commander were wounded, one severely. A heated meeting between Prime Minister Netanyahu and northern leaders occurred amid the developments, and there is mention of a drama in the Gaza smuggling case with Asher Kola dismissing the complaint.

In Regional Impacts, Uganda’s Chief of Defense Forces General Muhoozi Kainerugaba posted on X expressing support for Israel, calling for the war to end now and offering Uganda’s defense forces’ help to the US and Israel, saying Uganda would stand with Israel if the conflict continues and claiming it could have captured Tehran in 72 hours without bombing, while also announcing plans to erect a Yonatan “Yoni” Netanyahu statue at Entebbe International Airport. The Kuwaiti Army says it is currently contending with hostile missile and drone attacks. Saudi Arabia reports intercepting eight Iranian drones tonight. Alarms were reported along the frontline at Misgav Am.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Hezbollah says it launched several long-range rockets at the Defense Ministry Headquarters Kirya in central Tel Aviv; all rockets were intercepted, and an elderly woman was injured on her way to a shelter, now in moderate condition. Hezbollah rejects truce talks as Israel presses Lebanon strikes, with its chief saying negotiations under fire would amount to surrender; Israel has expanded a genuine security zone inside Lebanon, and Netanyahu said the military is expanding it. Hezbollah issued statements claiming attacks on Israeli forces, and six rockets headed for central Israel were intercepted. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for a ceasefire and warned against replicating the Gaza model.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, a video circulating on X appears to show a White House official, possibly Karoline Leavitt, saying “It’s launching soon right?” In addition, reports describe hidden messages between the United States and Iran being revealed in what is described as behind-the-scenes exchanges.

In Uplifting News, Eretz Nehederet marks Passover amid the Iran war with a war-themed Dayenu, including Netanyahu singing that even if the government had not been toppled but the nuclear threat removed, that would be enough. The program’s cold open portrayed a period drama set in modern-day Israel, highlighting the contrast between those with safe rooms and those who must run to shelters, as missiles rain down on many parts of the country. The skit featured an aristocratic couple in a mansion reacting to missile alerts with a mix of humor and caution.
