Iranian missiles strike Kirya Tel Aviv area
Missing American navigator after Iran aircraft downing
Damascus mobs attack UAE embassy

The time is now 12:02 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, two cluster submunitions from an Iranian ballistic missile struck near the IDF's Kirya headquarters in Tel Aviv this morning, damaging a parking lot next to the base and a nearby school with no injuries reported. Separately, the search for the American navigator after the downing of a US aircraft over Iran continues, with officials saying neither side has located him yet and that the terrain may influence the effort. Sirens and launches linked to Iranian activity prompted alerts across the country: in the Samaria area, southern West Bank, sirens sounded as launches were detected and, after additional launches were detected, central Israel near Jerusalem was briefly alerted; missiles were intercepted, with one allowed to hit an open area and no injuries reported. In Jerusalem, another missile was intercepted and there were no reported injuries. In northern Israel, red alert sirens sounded as missiles were fired, with interceptions reported and no injuries.

In Regional Impacts, red alert sirens have sounded in southern Israel and the Jerusalem area as missiles from Iran continue to be fired. More sirens followed, including in Judea and the southern part of Jerusalem. There have been alarms without warning in Samaria, and power outages were reported in the Krayot area.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, demonstrations in jihadist-ruled Syria over recent days have been calling for direct confrontation with Israel. Tonight, mobs attacked the embassy of the United Arab Emirates in Damascus, accusing the UAE of being an ally of the Jewish state.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, breaking signals show President Trump saying Iran has 48 hours to agree to open the Strait of Hormuz or face “hell.” He also noted that his 10-day ultimatum to Iran is about to expire.
