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 9 p.m., Israeli security forces continue to face an intense multi-front conflict with Iran and its regional proxies. Across seven key fronts, military operations are ongoing to counter threats from Iran's military infrastructure, Iranian-backed militias in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen, as well as violent developments in Gaza and the West Bank. This escalation marks one of the most significant security challenges in recent years, with Israel undertaking targeted strikes and defensive measures to neutralize threats and protect its citizens.
In the Gaza Strip, Israeli forces have intensified military activity in response to ongoing rocket fire and infiltration attempts. The Israeli military reports that it has targeted key militant sites, with reports of casualties among Palestinian factions. Meanwhile, in the West Bank, clashes have erupted between Israeli troops and local militants, resulting in injuries on both sides, and reports indicate several arrests of suspected terrorists.
Lebanese military sources confirm continued exchanges of fire along the border, with Hezbollah fighters responding to Israeli strikes. In Syria, Israeli aircraft have conducted precision raids against Iranian military installations in the Kuneitra province, where recent drone activity has also been reported. Iraq reports show increased activity of Iranian-backed militias, with some attacks on Israeli interests and US personnel, raising international concerns over regional stability.
In Yemen, the Houthis have launched missile and drone attacks targeting Saudi Arabia, with some reports suggesting possible indirect involvement of Iran. These developments underscore a complex and interconnected conflict across multiple fronts, with Israel and its allies striving to maintain security amid mounting regional tensions.
International reactions include renewed calls for de-escalation, but the region remains volatile. The United States has reaffirmed its support for Israel’s right to defend itself while urging restraint to prevent further escalation. Diplomatic efforts continue behind the scenes, but the situation remains highly fragile.
Domestically, Israel faces pressing security and humanitarian challenges. Reports of civilian injuries, including a 35-year-old man seriously wounded in an incident of violence in Bnei Brak, highlight the ongoing threat to civilian safety. Emergency services are providing medical aid, and security forces are on high alert.
Meanwhile, in Britain, authorities have confirmed that a 53-year-old man, suspected of a vehicular attack in Liverpool, has been arrested. The police state that the incident appears to be isolated and not related to terrorism, with 27 injured, including four children, and two in critical condition. The event has raised concerns but is currently considered an individual act.
In a related cyber security note, authorities warn of a new wave of psychological warfare calls aimed at causing public panic, similar to those experienced over the weekend. Experts advise the public to disconnect and block such calls, emphasizing that they do not compromise device security but aim to spread fear.
Meanwhile, in the broader Middle East, Israeli drone activity over the Kuneitra province in Syria continues to draw attention, with reports of drones being intercepted and destroyed near Moscow’s Dumezovo International Airport, illustrating the regional scope of aerial operations.
