HEADLINES
Missile hits Bushehr nuclear site, guard killed
IDF hits Lebanon bases, targets Quds Force
Trump warns gas field after QatarEnergy notice

The time is now 7:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, the International Atomic Energy Agency reported that Iran told the agency a missile struck near the Bushehr nuclear site this morning, the fourth such incident in weeks. Iran also told the IAEA that one security guard was killed by shrapnel and that a building at the site was damaged by the blast. No rise in radiation levels has been reported.

In Iranian Retaliation, reports attributed to the Wall Street Journal say the US embassy in Riyadh was half destroyed in an Iranian strike, with no casualties reported because the hit did not occur during working hours.

In Regional Impacts, Western ships remain stalled while Macron is described as being on the other side of the Hormuz. Another piece questions France's role, portraying it as a quiet partner of Iran during the war.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the Israel Defense Forces completed a wave of strikes against terrorist infrastructure across Lebanon. Bases used by the Lebanon-based wing of the Quds Force were hit, along with two bases used by Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The navy also struck an observation post belonging to Hezbollah.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, President Trump says he did not know about the Israeli strike on Iranian gas facilities, and warns that if Iran attacks Qatar again the gas field would be destroyed seven minutes after notice from QatarEnergy. He is also described as weighing a broader cabinet shake-up as war pressure with Iran grows, with internal discussions cited as a potential reset amid rising gas prices and political unease.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, Dutch police are investigating an explosion at the Israel Center in Nijkerk. No injuries were reported and the damage is described as minor. Witnesses are being urged to come forward. The Israel Center houses Christenen voor Israel, a Dutch Christian organization that says it is in solidarity with Israel and actively fights antisemitism, and its members say they are shocked but remain committed to countering antisemitism.
