The time is now 02:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

At 2:00 AM, the situation across Israel and its surrounding regions remains tense and complex. Israel continues its multi-front operations against threats from Iran and its proxies, with recent actions targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon and Iranian drone infrastructure in Beirut’s Dahiyeh district. Reports indicate that the Israeli Air Force carried out strikes in southern Beirut, focusing on Hezbollah's drone facilities operated under Iranian guidance. These targets are situated within civilian neighborhoods, raising concerns about potential civilian harm and regional escalation.

Meanwhile, in Gaza, Israel is employing a covert strategy to weaken Hamas from within by arming local Bedouin clans. This initiative aims to dismantle Hamas’ control by leveraging disintegrating factions, despite fears of weapons diversion and retaliation. Security officials acknowledge that while this approach has shown some success, there remains a risk of loss of control, and political criticism persists. The effort is part of a broader effort to break Hamas’s dominance and foster internal collapse.

In the West Bank, tensions persist with ongoing violence, including a recent incident in Taybe where a 22-year-old man was injured during a violent event, and another individual, a 25-year-old, was hospitalized in moderate condition after a riding accident on an electric scooter in Bat Yam. These domestic security issues continue amid broader regional conflicts.

Internationally, Iran appears to be resuming the repair of planetary thrusters it previously targeted in a recent Israeli strike. This activity relates to Iran’s development of missile fuel and drone manufacturing capabilities, activities that Israel has highlighted as provocative and threatening.

In Ukraine, Russian forces launched a nighttime attack on Kyiv’s railway stations, causing casualties and disrupting transportation. The assault resulted in the deaths of four civilians and injuries to several others, adding to the ongoing toll of the conflict.

In Israel’s political sphere, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Yuli Edelstein in the early hours, aiming to prevent the collapse of the coalition government amid ongoing debates over the military conscription law. Discussions reportedly made significant progress, with plans to finalize remaining issues soon.

Domestically, the Israeli economy continues to show strength, with foreign currency reserves reaching their highest in over a year at over 223 billion dollars. Meanwhile, in Seaside Bat Yam, a young man was moderately injured during a riding accident on an electric scooter.

Lastly, in a sign of regional instability, widespread power outages are reported in Tehran, exacerbating concerns over internal stability in Iran. The region remains in a state of heightened alert, with military and political developments unfolding rapidly and unpredictably.

This concludes the latest update.
