The time is now 04:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
Today at 4:00 PM, tensions remain high across multiple fronts involving Israel’s ongoing conflict and regional instability. Israel continues its military operations in Gaza, with reports indicating that Israeli forces have launched widespread airstrikes. These actions are part of a broader campaign aimed at degrading militant infrastructure, but they have also resulted in significant explosions that have shaken southern communities. Israeli officials emphasize that these strikes are targeted and necessary for national security, yet the humanitarian toll remains a concern.
In the northern front, Israeli forces reported an attempted attack in Nablus, where two Palestinian terrorists tried to seize an IDF soldier’s weapon.
