IRGC claims US radar strikes in Oman

Britain boosts protection for Jewish communities

The time is now 3:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Iranian Retaliation, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps credited itself with attacks on American radar systems in Oman this morning and said it had previously struck targets in Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman. The same claim also asserted the destruction of radar systems in Oman and attacks on American military targets in Bahrain.

In Regional Impacts, shipping data show traffic through the Strait of Hormuz slowed to multi‑week lows on Sunday, with six vessels transiting—the fewest in five weeks. Among the movements, the Humanity, carrying about 2 million barrels of Iranian oil, and the Capetan Andreas, carrying Kuwaiti oil products, exited the strait, while three empty tankers entered and most vessels switched off their transponders; no liquefied natural gas tankers were visible on the data. Separately, US forces conducted another wave of strikes against Iran on Sunday, hitting dozens of targets at multiple locations with precision munitions, according to Central Command. In Spain, the son of a Belgian man who died in a wind‑whipped wildfire disputed authorities’ claim that residents were told to shelter in place, saying no officials provided guidance and that the victims began to flee only as flames closed in.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Hamas marks the second anniversary of the killing of Mohammed Deif, head of Hamas’ military wing, and Raafat Salah, the commander of Hamas’ Khan Younis battalion, in a commemorative observance noted by the organization.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, a World Cup opinion piece argues that Egypt coach Hossam Hassan’s act of displaying the Palestinian flag after a win was hypocritical and highlights anti‑Zionism, while also noting his prolonged praise for Palestinians and remarks on their suffering. Separately, Britain’s government unveiled a security package of £251 million over three years to strengthen protection for Jewish communities, including more than 500 additional police officers across England and Wales, with about 300 in London, around 80 for Greater Manchester, and roughly £43 million shared among seven other forces; the move follows heightened antisemitic attacks and a raised national terrorism threat level to severe.

In Uplifting News, Cristo Fernandez, the Ted Lasso actor known for playing Danny Rojas, made his professional soccer debut for El Paso in a USL Cup match against New Mexico United, entering as a substitute in the 79th minute and receiving a yellow card. Israel’s Toto Equals also earned a fourth place in the Special Olympics Unified Football World Cup, finishing with nine Special Olympics athletes and seven Unified partners; striker Tomer Gini scored 10 goals to claim the Golden Boot, overcoming injuries that sidelined several teammates as they defeated China and the United Arab Emirates before losing in the semi‑finals to Jamaica and Paraguay, with the coach and team leaders praising the sustained effort and the Representation of Israel on the world stage.
