President Barack Obama. Virginia, we are counting on you. Republicans want to steal enough seats in

Congress to raid the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years. But you can stop

them by voting yes by April 21st. Help put our elections back on a level playing field and let

voters decide not politicians. Vote yes by April 21st. Paid for by Virginians for fair elections.

The time is now 5.01 pm in New York. I'm Noah Levi and this is the latest Israel today,

ongoing war report. In Operation Lions Raw, Israel is pursuing what religious Zionist party MK Simka

Rothman described as a historic operation that could create the conditions for regime change in Iran.

He said Israel can create the conditions for internal change and that if the Iranian people

sees that opportunity, it would be a major development. He framed the joint US-Israeli effort

as a very major historical event for the state of Israel and stressed that Iran is not only an

enemy of Israel, with implications for the United States and the broader Western world. In

tell-noff, Israel's Air Force Chief Lieutenant General Isles Amir praised air crews and technical

teams for their role in Operation roaring lion, affirming that the service is operating around

the clock and that the Air Force's operational tempo must continue with precision. Even as

significant challenges lie ahead and complacency must be avoided. In direct Israel Iran clashes,

powerful blasts were reported in Tehran. In the conflict with Iran and its regional proxies,

fighting between Israel, Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon, continued with no clear substantial

progress for any side. The IDF and the United States, carried out bombings across Iran,

aimed at gradually reducing the ballistic missile threat and weakening the Islamic regime to

enable regime change. Though none of the hits appeared to target a site of major strategic

significance, the IDF said it destroyed most central assets of Iran's internal security forces

and the Basage militia in Ilam province. While noting that Iran's security forces and

Basage have conducted numerous terror plans and repression of protesters during December and

January, the IDF has announced that more than 400 regime locations have been bombed and figures

released previously indicated about 190 fighters killed out of an estimated 400,000 Iranian soldiers.

In U.S. policy concerning Israel, Israeli officials cautioned that President Trump's definition

of victory over Iran might not align with Israel's view. They stressed that there is not necessarily

a large gap between the two positions, but the remarks raised concerns that the American

approach could aim to end the campaign sooner. Because of this, Israel is preparing for the

possibility that the United States might want to conclude the war earlier and could intensify its

strikes. However, there is no indication of a shift in operational activity by the IDF or the

U.S. military on the ground. Officials said that coordination, target selection and overall

strategy are continuing as before, with Israeli objectives for the operation unchanged.

In Israeli domestic politics, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and finance minister

Bates R.L. Smotrich said the government would set aside advancing the controversial

Herady draft bill and would approve an updated state budget that includes tens of billions of

shekels in defense funding due to Operation roaring lion. They said the war requires unity

and warned that the costly campaign necessitates a special budget to support the defense budget

and war effort. The draft law and several reforms will be paused for now as part of unity across

the government and coalition. In Israeli economy and business, Israeli airlines are laying plans for

the post-war period as space reopens. With the war-causing widespread cancellations,

several rescue flights and a limited number of outbound departures have resumed in recent days.

Officials say the next step will be publishing new flight schedules once airspace is fully reopened.

Based on per war operations and subject to takeoff and landing authorizations from the Israel

Airports Authority, passengers whose future flights have not been officially cancelled

are expected to remain on their original itineraries if operations stabilize.

Travelers with already cancelled itineraries will be adjusted as schedules are reset.

In uplifting news, Argentinian President Javier Millet declared at Yashiva University

that he is sincerely proud to be the most Zionist president in the world, defending his

steadfast support for Israel and the Jewish people. He pushed back against critics and tied the

core principles of Western civilization. Life, liberty and property to the Torah and the 10

commandments, saying that these values guide his policy and leadership. He remarked that critics

like Hopper bothered by his strong support for Israel and the moment was met with enthusiastic

applause from the audience. Thank you for tuning in to this Israel today, ongoing war report
