The time is now 07:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

At 7:00 PM, the Israeli public receives a snapshot of a nation under multi-front pressure and ongoing conflict. The Israeli military remains vigilant as tensions continue to escalate across several key regions. In the United States, the Defense Secretary announced the deployment of approximately 700 active-duty Marine troops from Pendleton base to Los Angeles to reinforce law enforcement amidst heightened federal threats. This move underscores concerns over increased threats directed at federal agencies and infrastructure domestically.

Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts persist in the Middle East. The Iranian Foreign Ministry announced that the next round of negotiations is scheduled for Sunday in Oman, signaling ongoing attempts to address regional tensions and nuclear concerns. Iran’s engagement in dialogue continues amid the broader geopolitical uncertainties.

In military developments, Japan revealed new defense capabilities during its annual live-fire exercise, unveiling the Type 12 anti-tank missile with a range of 1,000 kilometers and stealth features. The exercises also showcased hypersonic drones, laser weaponry, and advanced military technology, emphasizing Japan’s strategic focus on counterattack capabilities.

On the conflict frontlines, reports indicate ongoing violence in Gaza, with four Hamas militants killed in clashes involving the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Additionally, Israeli officials have accused anti-Israel activists, including Greta Thunberg and other flotilla participants, of refusing to confront the brutal reality of the October 7 Hamas terror attack after viewing a documentary depicting the atrocity. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant criticized them for turning away from the truth and allegedly favoring terrorists over victims.

In the West Bank and Lebanon, tensions remain high, with reports of exchanges of fire and casualties. Four Hamas operatives were killed in armed clashes with pro-Iranian groups, highlighting the ongoing violence and instability in these areas. The situation is further complicated by regional alliances and proxy engagements involving Iran, Hezbollah, and other militias across Syria, Iraq, and Yemen.

The broader regional picture remains one of heightened alertness and active military preparedness. Israel continues to defend its citizens and infrastructure against threats from multiple fronts, while diplomatic channels seek de-escalation amid ongoing hostilities. The international community closely monitors these developments, as the stability of the region hangs in a delicate balance.
