The time is now 10:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

At 10:01 AM, the situation across the Middle East remains highly tense and complex. Israel continues its military operations targeting key adversarial infrastructure in Yemen and across its fronts, including strikes on Sana’a International Airport and military facilities in the city of Saada, in response to ongoing threats from the Iran-backed Houthi movement. Israeli forces have also targeted multiple military and civilian infrastructure in Yemen, including power stations and factories, aiming to weaken the Houthi’s military capabilities and prevent further attacks, such as the missile launched at Ben Gurion Airport days earlier. These strikes are part of a broader campaign aimed at degrading the Houthi’s ability to conduct cross-border attacks, with Israel emphasizing precision and minimizing civilian harm.

Meanwhile, Israel's security apparatus is alert to threats on multiple fronts, including Iran, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen. Clashes and skirmishes continue in the Golan Heights and the West Bank, where Israeli forces respond to Palestinian militant activities, and in Lebanon, where Hezbollah remains a significant threat. Iran continues its efforts to bolster its proxies, with reports of military build-ups and increased activity in these regions. The Israeli military has also observed an increase in anti-Semitic rhetoric online, with officials warning that the next wave of violence could occur within days, emphasizing the importance of national resilience and counterterrorism vigilance.

Internationally, the United States has praised the IDF’s advanced victim identification processes following the October 7 massacre, fostering cooperation between the armies. In addition, Saudi Arabia announced a forthcoming deal with the United States concerning mining and mineral resources, signaling ongoing diplomatic efforts in the region.

Domestically, Israeli society remains deeply affected by the ongoing conflict, with community efforts to bolster morale and resilience. Reports from survivors and soldiers highlight the brutal conditions of captivity and the unyielding spirit of those who endured it, reinforcing the national narrative of perseverance and security.

The broader regional picture shows a landscape of ongoing military engagement, with Israeli strikes in Yemen, responses to threats from Iran-backed groups, and warnings of an imminent rise in antisemitic violence. The situation remains fluid, with all sides prepared for further escalation, underscoring the fragile state of stability in the region. This is a moment of high alert and strategic importance for Israel and its allies, as efforts to contain and counter the multiple threats continue unabated.
