The time is now 6:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Operation Lion's Roar, documentation from Iran says a launcher of the Revolutionary Guards was attacked and destroyed by our forces in Operation Roar of the Lion.

In Iranian Retaliation, an Iranian source disclosed that five American military personnel and a contractor were injured in the attack on Kuwait. A Bloomberg report says five US personnel were injured at Ali Al Salem Air Base, Kuwait, when missiles were intercepted and falling debris caused the injuries; the attack damaged one MQ-9 Reaper and destroyed another; the injured are a mix of service members and contractors and the injuries were minor.

In Regional Impacts, the Revolutionary Guards displayed one of their fast boats in Tehran's Revolution Square, a display linked to operations in the Strait of Hormuz. The Ministry of Defense of Oman issued an alert after sighting a suspected naval mine in Oman's territorial waters in the Strait of Hormuz, advising mariners to keep a safe distance from suspicious objects and report them. The UAE carried out dozens of strikes on Iran alongside the United States and Israel, according to reporting cited by the Wall Street Journal; the campaign aimed to raise the cost of the conflict for Gulf states, and Iran’s retaliation fell heavily on the UAE, with more than 2,800 missiles and drones directed at the country, while Emirati aircraft struck multiple sites across Iran.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, former prime minister Naftali Bennett criticized the government for its handling of security as Hezbollah rocket fire intensified, including a direct missile hit in central Kiryat Shmona; he said residents in the north deserve security like in Tel Aviv and urged a combination of full operational freedom for the IDF and intensified regional diplomacy with Saudi Arabia and Gulf states. Former IDF chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot also criticized the government, arguing Hezbollah’s continued attacks reflect a failure to restore security.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, Ilan Goldenberg of J Street argues that liberal Zionism can reverse the deteriorating US-Israel relationship. He says liberal Zionism represents the mainstream view among Americans and US Jews and is the best approach to sustain the bilateral relationship as political sentiment shifts, outlining policies needed to stabilize ties and noting concerns about polarization and competing narratives.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, a Waterloo teenager, 17, was charged with two counts of reckless firearm discharge, two counts of conspiracy to commit an indictable offense, and two counts of weapons trafficking in connection with the March shooting attacks on Shaarei Shomayim synagogue and the Bay Avraham Yoseph of Toronto; an 18-year-old, charged earlier on May 6, was involved in the same incidents and faces related counts.

In Uplifting News, Paris St Germain beat Arsenal to retain the Champions League title after a 1-1 draw in the final at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, triumphing 4-3 on penalties as Arsenal missed with Kai Havertz; Ousmane Dembele equalized from a penalty, and PSG secured back-to-back titles in the competition.
