The Times of Israel is liveblogging Saturday’s events as they unfold.

UN nuclear watchdog says no radiation risk after strike on Iranian heavy water plant

A heavy water production plant at Khondab in Iran was hit on Friday, Iran tells the International Atomic Energy Agency.

“No radiation risk seen as installation contains no declared nuclear material,” the UN nuclear watchdog says on X.

Earlier, the IAEA said it was looking into damage on Iran’s yellowcake production facility that was hit, but that no off-site radiation levels had been reported.

Iran also reported the Khuzestan steel production factory, which uses radioactive sources, was subjected to strikes on Friday, the IAEA adds, saying there is no off-site radiation release.

Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis threaten that they’re ready to join war

Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi terror group says it is ready to intervene militarily in the US-Israeli war with Iran under certain conditions, including if new allies join the US and Israel or if the Red Sea is used to launch attacks on Iran.

Military spokesperson Yahya Saree makes the remarks in a televised speech.

“We affirm that our fingers are on the trigger for direct military intervention,” he says.

One killed, several injured in latest Iranian missile attack on central Israel — medics

One person has been killed and several others are injured as a result of impacts in central Israel from Iran’s latest ballistic missile attack, first responders say.

The missile had carried a cluster bomb warhead, spreading bomblets over a wide area.

Magen David Adom says one man in his 60s was killed at one location and at least two others were lightly injured at another.
