Hard line urged to topple Tehran regime
Israel destroys Jama’a al-Islamiya cache in Syria
White House: Trump opposes West Bank annexation
The time is now 1:01 AM 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, an editorial argues that Western leaders must confront Tehran with moral clarity and a strategy designed to hasten the regime’s downfall rather than more talks. As Prime Minister Netanyahu prepares to visit the United States to meet President Trump, the piece says the moment calls for a hard moral stance, not only deterrence but a plan to end a regime deemed unworthy of engagement. It notes Tehran has used negotiation to buy time while inflicting brutality at home and terror across the region. Since late December, nationwide protests have erupted amid economic collapse and political stagnation, with tallies showing tens of thousands killed in the crackdown, estimates ranging from about 30,000 to 36,500, and a longer history of repression traced back to the 2021 Woman, Life, Freedom movement in which hundreds were killed and thousands wounded or detained as Iranians rose up. Separately, satellite imagery shows every entrance to the underground tunnel complex at Esfahan now sealed, with documentation provided. In another development, Israeli forces under the 210th Division conducted a dramatic overnight operation on Syrian soil in the Beit Jen area of southern Syria, locating and destroying a stockpile of weapons associated with the Jama’a al-Islamiya organization. The cache included weapons, mines and communications equipment, and the IDF said the group has sought to promote further attacks against Israel and its civilians in the northern theater. The operation is described as part of a continuing effort to remove terrorist threats and to protect Israeli civilians, including in the Golan Heights region.
In the US Policy Concerning Israel, a White House official told American outlets that Trump made his position explicit: he opposes Israel’s annexation of the West Bank. The finding reflects a clear stance from the White House regarding a sensitive policy debate about the future status of the territory and the pace of any potential annexation moves.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, activists protesting violence in the Arab sector painted fountains red in Haifa, Tel Aviv and Beersheba. Families of those killed in the Arab community and protesters from the Standing Together movement joined the action, with Haifa’s memorial garden fountain, Tel Aviv’s Knesset fountain, and Beersheba’s northern city entrance all colored red. Some protesters briefly blocked access to Jerusalem near the Bridge of Strings before police dispersed the crowd and two demonstrators were arrested. Ahead of the day’s action, families of victims announced a national disruption, urging the public to wear black to work and to stop work between 11:00 and 13:00. The Forum of Families of the Victims said, “We who paid with our lives, our brothers, sisters, parents and relatives, say enough,” underscoring the call for solidarity and change.
