Rail disruption as Tehran-Mashhad bridge struck
Right-wing HaBashan cross into Mount Hermon
Kuwait wounded in Iranian missile drone attack

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

In Regional Impacts, trains in Iran pause after a reported US strike on a Tehran–Mashhad bridge, while border activity and related security developments unfold in the region. Iranian passenger services between Tehran and Mashhad were temporarily suspended after the strike, state broadcaster IRIB reported. IRIB posted that passenger train services have been disrupted and that repair teams are working to fix the damage, with arrangements being made to transport passengers to Mashhad by road. The disruption comes as mourners travel to Mashhad for the funeral of former supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and Iranian state media have suggested the strike was timed to overshadow the burial. Mehr News reported explosions in Bushehr province, where Iran's nuclear power plant is located.

Separately, activists from the right-wing HaBashan Pioneers movement crossed into the Mount Hermon area and spent the night in newly controlled zones beyond the official border line under IDF authority. The group informed IDF troops of their presence but did not disclose their exact location, saying they intend to remain to press for civilian settlement in the Bashan region and the Hermon peak amid the security situation in Syria.

Kuwait's military said one person was wounded in an Iranian missile and drone attack.

A train bridge near the village Ak-Klaa in Golestan was reported attacked.
