The time is now 04:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been actively engaging with the families of hostages, including Tamir Namrodi, Avintan Or, and Itan Horen, providing updates on ongoing negotiations for their release. In a recent conversation, he reiterated his commitment to securing the return of all hostages, whether alive or deceased.

In Gaza, tensions remain high as Hamas leaders have dismissed Israel's latest proposals as tantamount to surrender, describing the demands as "impossible" and asserting that the issue of arms for Gaza's terror groups is non-negotiable. This comes amid heightened military activity in the region, including reports of Israeli artillery strikes and ground operations aimed at dismantling Hamas infrastructure.

In related developments, the IDF Chief of Staff, Eyal Zamir, is reportedly seeking to prevent reservists from participating in protests against the ongoing military actions in Gaza. This reflects internal tensions within Israel's military ranks regarding the conflict and its management.

Meanwhile, in the West Bank, there have been alarming reports of attempted attacks against Jewish civilians, with incidents noted in Huwara where a Jewish infant was reportedly targeted. The Israeli police are investigating these incidents as part of broader concerns regarding security in the region.

Additionally, the humanitarian situation in Sudan has reached critical levels, with the UN reporting that 13 million people have been displaced due to the ongoing civil war. The conflict has led to widespread famine and devastation, compelling discussions among international leaders about the looming humanitarian crisis.

On the international front, Iran has resumed its maritime arms smuggling operations to Hezbollah, utilizing the Port of Beirut as a strategic route. This development poses ongoing challenges for Israeli security forces, who are actively working to disrupt these supply lines.

In local news, a serious motorcycle accident in Haifa has left an 18-year-old rider in critical condition, illustrating ongoing public safety concerns. In a separate incident, two individuals were injured in a traffic collision in Holon, prompting responses from emergency services.

As we continue to monitor these unfolding stories, we encourage our audience to stay informed about the rapidly changing dynamics in the region and beyond.
