Two Jerusalem brothers indicted for Iranian spying
Gaza aid surge 65,000 trucks since ceasefire
Rafah stamps spark Gaza backlash
The time is now 2:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In the conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, prosecutors indicted two Jerusalem brothers in their 20s on security offenses, including contact with Iranian intelligence and transferring information related to national security. The State Prosecutor's Office said the two were in contact with Iranian intelligence elements and were transferring various information, knowing they acted under Iranian intelligence handlers in exchange for financial compensation. The charges include delivering information to the enemy, both alone and jointly, and delivering information to an enemy that could be used to harm Israel's national security. The prosecution requested an extension of their detention until the legal proceedings could be completed. The indictment did not specify whether the brothers were Jewish or Arab. Last month, Shin Bet noted that 25 Israelis, including Jews, were indicted for spying for Iran in 2025, and that the number of Iranian plots to use Israelis as spies jumped 400% in 2025.
In the Disputed Territories (Gaza, Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem), over 65,000 aid trucks have entered Gaza since the October ceasefire, the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories reports. Of these, more than 14,000 carried shelter equipment and more than 47,000 carried food. Since the start of the ceasefire, Gaza has received more than 620,000 tents and tarps, 64 humanitarian staff rotations, 12 evacuations of Gazans with dual citizenship totaling 1,526 evacuees, and 13 medical evacuations totaling 1,392 evacuees. For the past week (1-7 February), 4,200 humanitarian aid trucks entered Gaza carrying food, medical supplies, and shelter equipment under the prioritization set by international organizations. Close to 100 Gazans in need of medical care and their escorts exited Gaza through the Kerem Shalom Crossing into Israel and continued to the Allenby Bridge Crossing into Jordan. Two rotations of humanitarian personnel by registered and approved organizations were completed, with continued entry of tents and clothing and ongoing winterization efforts under the plan.
The IDF released new footage and images from the Gaza operation to recover the remains of the final Gaza hostage, St.-Sergeant-Major Ran Gvili, from the Gaza Strip in January. Gvili, a police officer from the Special Patrol Unit, was injured but fought to defend border communities, killing 14 attackers before he was killed. His remains were held in Gaza for almost 900 days and were returned to Meitar for burial on January 26. The remains were located in al-Batesh cemetery in the Shejaia-Daraj-Tuffah area of northern Gaza; Palestinian Islamic Jihad is believed to have buried him there. The released imagery shows soldiers entering and searching buildings amid rubble, but there are no images of the cemetery excavations.
Officials raise alarm over 'State of Palestine' passport stamps at Rafah crossing, as the Shin Bet chief confirms Gazans are receiving PA-linked stamps at Rafah, triggering fury from ministers and a Netanyahu request to consider replacing them with a 'Board of Peace' mark as Israel rejects any Palestinian Authority role in Gaza.
The war isn’t over: reservists hold the line as Hamas regroups in northern Gaza, with Alexandroni Brigade troops stationed along the volatile yellow line facing daily threats above and below ground. They warn that Hamas is rebuilding command structures and preparing for renewed combat despite a fragile interim agreement.
In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, the proportion of Poles who dislike Jews has risen to 40%, according to CBOS, the Polish state research Centre for Public Opinion Re
