HEADLINES
U.S. Senate Blocks Iran War Limits Sparks Debate
Hezbollah Loses Ground as Israel Strikes Back
Syrian Regime Strengthens Amid Regional Power Shift

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

Good evening. At this hour, the United States Senate has rejected a proposal to limit President Donald Trump's authority to deploy additional military force against Iran. The measure was defeated by a narrow margin of fifty-three votes to forty-seven, allowing the President to retain broad discretion in responding to threats from Iran.

This development comes amid heightened tensions in the region, where Israel continues to face direct and indirect challenges. Israel remains engaged in a complex security environment, with its military actively confronting Iranian-backed proxies and attempting to neutralize threats from Hezbollah in Lebanon. Recent reports indicate that Hezbollah has suffered significant losses in recent Israeli strikes, and Lebanese efforts are underway to reduce the group's influence.

Meanwhile, in Syria, the new government formation following Bashar al-Assad’s departure signals a shifting regional landscape, with the Syrian regime consolidating power. Across Gaza, Hamas faces both military pressure from Israel and internal struggles, even as hostages remain held in the ongoing conflict. From Yemen, the Houthi movement continues missile and drone attacks into Saudi Arabia and other regional targets, complicating the security picture.

Internationally, these developments are influencing diplomatic efforts and the broader geopolitical balance. The United States, under the current administration, maintains a stance of strategic support for Israel’s security while managing its own regional interests. The recent Senate vote underscores the ongoing debate over military intervention authority, reflecting the broader American hesitation regarding extended conflicts in the Middle East.

As the situation evolves, Israel’s security concerns remain front and center, with its government emphasizing the importance of defensive measures amid persistent threats. The regional landscape continues to shift rapidly, with each development influencing the delicate balance of power in the Middle East.

This is your nightly update. We will continue to monitor the situation and bring you updates as they unfold.
