Iran strikes Kuwait Bahrain Jordan, escalation erupts
Ramat David airbase possibly damaged by Iran
IDF captain dies; organs save six

The time is now 12:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Operation Lion's Roar, electronic warfare personnel helped open the skies over Iran as the Air Defense Command’s achievements allowed the Air Force to fly freely in Rising Lion and Roaring Lion this week; the unit will be honored with the Israel Defense Prize, and Lieutenant Colonel M. described a new system that 'only superpowers have'.
In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, satellite imagery may indicate damage to Israel’s Ramat David Airbase following Iran’s latest ballistic missile attack. Low-resolution images show a possible hit near a hangar, though the extent of any damage remains unclear.
In Iranian Retaliation, Iran’s strikes in response to US actions targeted bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan. Iranian media reported the IRGC hit Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait and four sites at the US al-Azraq base in Jordan with long-range missiles, including hangars for F-35 fighters and a command-and-control center, and warned of a crushing and decisive response to further US action. Sirens sounded in Bahrain as Tehran’s campaign continued, with US officials saying four missiles and several drones were fired at bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan, though most were intercepted and there were no reported US casualties or damages. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi posted on social media saying that despite battlefield defeats, the United States tested Iran’s determination and that the Armed Forces will leave no attack unanswered. Iran then shot down a US Apache helicopter patrolling the Strait of Hormuz, prompting President Trump to say the United States must respond. A video released by Iranian media showed strikes on the US Navy’s 5th Fleet Headquarters in Bahrain, and air raid sirens were heard again in Bahrain as Iran launched a second drone and missile attack on the same target.
In US Policy Concerning Israel, the analysis notes that the war that was expected to be over has not ended, with Iran able to impose costs and Israel seeking to preserve deterrence within Washington’s diplomatic framework. Iran fired missiles at Israel after warnings tied to Beirut, Israel responded with strikes inside Iran, and missiles aimed at air bases were reported intercepted. President Trump publicly urged both sides to halt firing and pressed for a swift end to the exchange, while experts said the operation has concluded but the broader conflict remains unresolved. Iran is viewed as being under pressure as events unfold.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, immunity is not impunity: Gotliv case tests Israel’s democratic protections. The debate centers on whether parliamentary immunity should shield lawmakers from accountability or become a shelter from responsibility. Proponents argue immunity preserves the ability to challenge powerful institutions and express unpopular opinions without political retaliation, while critics say it must not block accountability. The discussion asks whether immunity serves democratic representation or undermines legal responsibility.
In Uplifting News, an IDF soldier killed in Lebanon’s organ donation saves six patients simultaneously. Captain Shahar Gamla, 23, was critically injured by an explosive drone in Lebanon and died from his injuries; his family requested organ donation, enabling several transplants. The heart was transplanted into a 54-year-old man at Rabin Medical Center-Beilinson; his lungs went to a 47-year-old man at the same hospital; his liver to a 69-year-old man at Ichilov Hospital, and a liver lobe to a 7-year-old girl at Schneider Children’s Medical Center. His kidneys were transplanted into a 37-year-old man and a 72-year-old woman at Beilinson, his corneas have not yet been transplanted, and his skin was donated to the National Skin Bank to aid burn victims.
