IDF pounds central Tehran IRGC infrastructure
Altius-700 test 10k troops to Middle East
Ten day window could decide war's end

The time is now 10:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, the Israeli military says it completed a broad wave of strikes targeting Tehran's infrastructure tied to the Iranian regime's Revolutionary Guards Corps. The IDF's announcement described the strikes as taking place in central Tehran.

In US Military Role, the US Army on February 26, 2026, tested the Altius-700, a Rocket Medium-Range Launched Effect loitering munition produced by Anduril, launched from the pylon of an AH-64E Apache helicopter as part of ongoing tests dating to the first live-fire in 2024. The Pentagon is also evaluating the deployment of an additional 10,000 ground troops, including armored units, to the Middle East, supplementing about 5,000 Marines and thousands of 82nd Airborne paratroopers already ordered to the region.

In Regional Impacts, the Home Front Command says the red alert in Matula has ended and residents should follow safety guidance. Authorities had previously issued red alerts in Matula and urged adherence to safety instructions. A separate report notes that a ten-day window could decide whether the war with Iran ends or escalates, citing Iran International's account of remarks attributed to President Trump about US actions and a 10-day deadline for Tehran.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, an analysis describes a final ultimatum in which President Trump holds the fate of the war with Iran. Following last night’s series of cryptic videos, the White House continues to post pixelated images of President Trump on its X and Instagram pages.
