The time is now 09:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the security situation in the region remains tense and complex. Earlier today, a 27-year-old man was injured in a violent incident in the village of Manda, with medics reporting he sustained penetrating wounds and was transported to Rambam Hospital in moderate condition. The circumstances of this incident are under investigation.

In a separate and tragic event, an elderly woman aged 65 lost her life after being brought to the Shufat crossing with critical injuries. Medical teams declared her dead at the scene, and authorities have launched an inquiry into her death, which is believed to be connected to recent violence in East Jerusalem.

Meanwhile, the Israeli military continues its operations against Hamas in Gaza, where ongoing hostilities persist amid a hostage crisis. Reports indicate that Israeli forces have made significant advances, including the decimation of Hamas infrastructure and personnel, but the situation remains delicate and volatile with ongoing threats.

On the northern front, recent reports confirm that Iran has announced the establishment of a third uranium enrichment facility, constructed prior to an Israeli attack, and is preparing to resume enrichment activities. This development underscores Iran’s ongoing pursuit of nuclear capabilities, despite international concerns and sanctions. Iranian officials, including the head of the Atomic Energy Organization, Mohammad Eslami, have indicated that activities will commence at the appropriate time, complicating diplomatic efforts.

Simultaneously, Iran's regional proxies continue their activities. Hezbollah in Lebanon has suffered considerable losses from recent Israeli strikes, weakening their military capability. Lebanon itself is actively seeking to expel remaining militant groups from its territory, further altering the regional power dynamics.

In Yemen, Houthi forces persist with missile and drone attacks targeting Saudi Arabia and other regional interests, adding to the broader climate of instability across the Middle East.

The United States under the current administration remains engaged, providing intelligence and support to Israel, while balancing diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalation in certain areas. However, the overall regional picture continues to be dominated by the ongoing conflict and strategic ambitions of Iran and its allies.

Internationally, the situation has prompted widespread concern, with diplomatic channels working to prevent further escalation. The Israeli government emphasizes its right to defend its citizens and maintain security, while also navigating the complex diplomatic landscape shaped by regional and global interests.

That is the latest update. We will continue to monitor developments and bring you further information as it becomes available.
