Israel Battles on Multiple Fronts Amid Global Tensions
US Reveals Secret Network of 170 Underground Bases
Campus Protests Turn Violent Over Israel Conflict
The time is now 09:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
Tonight at nine o'clock, we begin with news from the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Israel faces a multi-front war with Iran and its proxies, engaging in intense battles across seven key regions: Iran, Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen. This escalation follows the October 7th attack by Hamas, which prompted a swift and significant Israeli military response. The conflict has deepened tensions globally, affecting regional stability and international diplomacy.
In Israel, the situation remains tense but largely under control. The Israeli Defense Forces continue operations against hostile targets, emphasizing efforts to secure hostages and dismantle militant networks. Meanwhile, the Israeli government is under scrutiny for its handling of protests and internal divisions, particularly on university campuses. Dartmouth College, for instance, experienced vandalism when a protester threw red paint on Dartmouth Hall, condemning investment ties with Israel. The university condemned the act, affirming the importance of free expression while denouncing vandalism as unacceptable.
Across the United States, tensions over Israel and Palestine are prominent, with some federal funding cuts impacting universities like Harvard and Cornell. Despite these pressures, Dartmouth has largely avoided federal investigations into antisemitism, maintaining a stance of cautious neutrality amid intense campus debates. Last year, a Jewish professor was forcefully removed by police at a pro-Palestinian encampment, and two students had their visas revoked—though one was reinstated—highlighting the ongoing internal conflicts.
Internationally, revelations have surfaced about covert US military installations. Former government official Katherine Austin Fits disclosed that the US has built an estimated 170 underground bases worldwide, some submerged beneath oceans, possibly prepared for catastrophic scenarios. These bases are linked via secret transportation networks, suggesting a strategic reserve for potential global crises.
Additionally, in the realm of scientific innovation, the United States hosted the world's first sperm competition, featuring a specially designed track that mimics human reproductive processes, highlighting advancements in reproductive technology.
In local news, an 18-year-old cyclist was seriously injured after being hit by a vehicle on Moshe Ebn Ezra Street in Ashdod. The young man suffered multiple severe injuries and was rushed to Assuta Hospital in critical condition. Emergency responders described his condition as unstable, with head, abdominal, and lower limb trauma.
As we conclude tonight's update, the overarching theme remains the resilience and complexity of global and regional challenges. Israel’s fight for security continues amidst internal debates and international scrutiny, while covert preparations and scientific advancements reveal layers of strategic and technological developments. We will keep you informed as this story unfolds. This has been your nightly update.
