The time is now 9:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Regional Impacts, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a warning for civilians to leave areas where US forces are deployed across the Gulf, saying the United States is using civilians as human shields and vowing to eliminate what it calls American terrorist forces. The warning also indicated that special preparations are being made for the UAE and Bahrain in the event of any military action against Iran’s islands, and that a new strategic plan has been developed appropriate to developments on the ground, with Tehran’s response to an attack on Iran’s islands described as harmful to its enemies. Iran has carried out attacks against Gulf states, including strikes on the infrastructure at Kuwait’s Mubarak al-Kabeer Port. The UAE Ministry of Defense stated that air defense systems have intercepted six ballistic missiles and nine one-way attack drones launched by Iran at the United Arab Emirates today. A Hebrew-language report in the same block discusses rising regional tensions and concerns about broader escalation and its potential security and economic implications.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, an IDF soldier and a combat officer were severely wounded during an operational accident in southern Lebanon; they have been evacuated to a hospital and their families have been notified. The IDF’s Arabic Spokesperson, Colonel (Reserve) Avichay Adraee, issued an urgent evacuation warning for residents of Sajd in southern Lebanon, where Hezbollah is operating, telling people to move north of the Zahrani River to ensure safety. This follows ongoing strikes against Hezbollah targets and infrastructure in Lebanon, including a report that the Hezbollah stronghold of Dahiyeh in southern Beirut was hit. UNICEF notes that more than 370,000 children have been displaced from their homes in Lebanon as a result of the Israeli offensive, with at least 121 killed and 399 injured. IDF Spokesperson BG Effie Defrin said that Hezbollah remains active from southern Lebanon and, if the Lebanese government fails to disarm Hezbollah, the IDF will respond.
