The time is now 06:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
Israel is engaged in a multi-front conflict with Iran and its proxies across seven key areas: Iran itself, Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen. The escalation began with coordinated attacks from Hamas and other militant groups, leading to a complex military operation aimed at degrading Iran’s regional influence and eliminating threats to Israeli security.
In Gaza, Israeli forces continue operations against Hamas, which has launched thousands of rockets at Israeli territory, causing casualties and widespread damage. The Israeli military reports targeted strikes on military infrastructure and command centers, emphasizing efforts to diminish Hamas’s operational capabilities. Gaza remains a focal point of intense fighting, with ongoing exchanges of fire and efforts to prevent further escalation.
In the West Bank, Israeli troops have conducted multiple raids targeting militant cells responsible for recent attacks. Palestinian sources report increased clashes and casualties amid heightened tensions. The Israeli government views these operations as necessary to dismantle terrorist networks and protect its citizens.
Lebanon’s Hezbollah has issued a formal statement reaffirming its support for Palestinian groups and warning of potential retaliation, raising fears of a broader regional conflict. The organization claims its readiness to respond to Israeli actions, further complicating the security landscape.

Meanwhile, regional tensions persist as Iran condemns US restrictions on Iranian citizens entering America, calling the measure “racist.” The region remains volatile, with fears of further escalation as diplomatic efforts continue alongside military actions.
