HEADLINES
Abdallah Khalil Nasser Killed by Israeli Sniper
Indonesia Joins Gaza Phase II Stabilization
350th F35 Wing Delivered to Lockheed
The time is now 5:01 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, authorities report a series of security developments with regional implications. A Hezbollah operative Abdallah Khalil Nasser was killed by an Israeli sniper from Brigade 300 under the command of Division 91 in Ayta ash-Shab, south Lebanon. He had been gathering intelligence against IDF forces and worked to rehabilitate the organization's infrastructure in southern Lebanon. Iran stepped up arrests, including the spokesperson for the reformist coalition, in a move that kept the option open for talks with Washington in Oman ahead of Netanyahu's visit to the United States. Tehran floated possible concessions on its stockpile of enriched uranium, and the regime’s leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, called for national resolve. Israeli minister Smotrich said the Iranian regime must be destroyed and rejected any diplomatic deal unless it includes sweeping restrictions. Oil prices climbed roughly $1 per barrel after the US Department of Transportation issued an advisory urging US-flagged vessels to steer as far away as possible from Iranian waters while transiting the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman.
In the Disputed Territories (Gaza, Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem), Indonesia will be the first country to contribute to the International Stabilization Force in Gaza during Phase II of the ceasefire, according to KAN News. The ISF is expected to supervise ceasefire lines and border issues, with Indonesian troops possibly operating in Khan Yunis and Rafah in southern Gaza within weeks. Two terrorists were killed and several wounded in an Israeli strike carried out by an IDF attack helicopter in western Gaza City, near the Al-Aila Al-Muqaddasa school in the Nasser neighborhood. The deceased are Ibrahim Za’anin and Ahmad Suilem, militants in Hamas’s Beit Hanoun Battalion. Hamas terrorist Anas al-Nashar, son of Issa al-Nashar, one of the founders of Hamas and former mayor of Rafah, was eliminated yesterday by forces of the anti-Hamas Popular Forces militia of Yasser Abu Shabab after a grenade was thrown into the building where he was hiding in Rafah, south Gaza.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, wives of top figures on the left report that their husbands wake up frightened in the middle of the night and describe dreams of thousands of orange hats scattered around the home. The IDF said it is cutting back superfluous reservists, with routine call-ups limited to 55 days in 2026 and a cap of 40,000 reservists serving on any given day. The military also said it would reduce the number of days reservists are required to serve under routine call-up orders, from 72 to 55, with 42 days devoted to operational activity and the rest to other duties.
In Israeli Economy and Business, Israel Aerospace Industries celebrated delivering the 350th fighter jet wing to Lockheed Martin for the F-35 program. Israel’s inventory now includes 48 of 50 F-35s, following three F-35i jets landing at Nevatim Air Base on January 18. Defense Minister Katz hinted that the F-35s, used to attack Iran’s nuclear program in 2025, could be deployed against the Islamic Republic again in the near future.
