The time is now 05:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

At 5:00 AM, the situation in Israel remains intense and complex, with ongoing military and security operations across multiple fronts. The Israeli Defense Forces and security agencies continue their efforts in response to the multi-front conflict involving Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and other Iranian proxies in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen.

In Gaza, the Israeli military conducted a special operation that resulted in the recovery of the body of a Thai hostage, Nattapong Pinta, who was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz during the October 2023 attack by Hamas. Nattapong was believed to have been murdered in captivity by the terror organization, which currently holds approximately 55 hostages, both alive and deceased, according to Israeli security sources. The operation was based on precise intelligence obtained through interrogations and cooperation between Shin Bet, the IDF, and other security bodies.

Meanwhile, in the northern border, Israeli reports indicate that significant Israeli airstrikes targeted a five-story house belonging to the Khachhar family in Jabalia, where around 40 family members are believed to have been buried under the rubble. The area remains under threat and is classified as a combat zone, with ongoing dangers to civilians and military personnel alike.

Internationally, Lebanon is actively pursuing economic recovery by seeking to attract Gulf tourists, especially from Saudi Arabia, despite regional tensions and lingering challenges. Beirut hopes that easing travel bans and regional hostilities will foster tourism and help revive its shattered economy, though it recognizes that political and economic reforms are essential for long-term stability.

The conflict has also led to regional security incidents outside Israel’s borders, including a Ukrainian drone attack on fuel tanks in Engels, Russia, resulting in fires and damage to infrastructure. Additionally, there have been reports of increased violence and instability in neighboring Syria, where Israeli airstrikes continue to target Iranian-backed militias.

Domestically, Israeli authorities emphasize the urgency of bringing home all hostages and resolving the ongoing crisis. The Prime Minister’s Office and security agencies reaffirm their commitment to relentless efforts, with ongoing intelligence operations and military actions aimed at rescuing captives and degrading enemy capabilities.

In summary, Israel’s military activities continue across multiple fronts, with significant developments in hostage recovery and targeted strikes. The region remains highly volatile, with international efforts to mitigate the conflict and support regional stability ongoing amid the broader backdrop of regional and global tensions.

This is the latest update.
