The time is now 8:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, missiles from Iran and Lebanon hit Israel, with 12 impact sites reported in central and northern areas, including the Gush Dan corridor and Shfar’am. Emergency teams scanned all 12 locations; there were no serious injuries, though several people were treated for shock and mild blast effects. Debris from interception was reported in the Gush Dan area, and red alert sirens sounded in central Israel as the barrage continued. Additional sirens were reported in the Sharon region and the broader central area.

In US Military Role, the President will address the nation from the Oval Office and inform the American public that the deployment of ground troops may be necessary to end the ongoing war and to round up highly enriched uranium in Iran, according to sources cited by Fox News.

In Regional Impacts, flooding was reported in Bnei Brak after damage to water infrastructure tied to the strikes, with footage showing the impact. Across the north and center, sirens were heard in Krayot and the Galilee region, while the broader pattern of attacks left 12 reported fall sites in the Dan region and Shfar’am.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, a rocket attack from Lebanon struck an unoccupied building in Shfar’am; there were no physical injuries reported.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, Trump is poised to tell a wary public that Iran war goals have been accomplished in a prime-time address, signaling a move toward exit from the month-long conflict. He is expected to say the United States has destroyed Iran’s navy and ballistic missiles and missile-production facilities and that Iran can never obtain a nuclear weapon, with a plan to wind down the conflict within two to three weeks. Separately, American intelligence agencies have reportedly concluded that Iran is not ready at this stage to negotiate an end to the war.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, the Home Front Command says the threat of infiltration by militants from the West Bank has been removed.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, Temple Israel in suburban Detroit calls for a new ritual object after last month’s attack, adding a Lego block to the Seder plate as a symbol of vulnerability and rebuilding.

In Uplifting News, Artemis II has launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, with wild footage captured by a passenger on a nearby plane. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station watched the lift-off and wished the crew Godspeed as the four-person team—Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist Christina Koch, and Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen—begins the journey to the Moon, aiming to be the first humans to see the lunar surface up close since Apollo 17.
