The time is now 5:02 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In The Disputed Territories (Gaza, Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem), two Hamas militants killed in a helicopter attack in western Gaza tonight have been identified as Ibrahim Za’anin and Ahmad Suailm, both members of Hamas’s Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades from the Beit Hanoun Battalion, with Suailm described as a Nukhba operative. Indonesia has pledged to send up to 8,000 troops to Gaza for the International Stabilization Force, making it the first country to contribute to the multinational mission; the forces are to join international peacekeeping, humanitarian and reconstruction tasks. Separately, a direct elimination in Gaza targeted two Hamas militants riding a motorcycle.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson said the nuclear talks with the United States last week were primarily to gauge Washington’s seriousness, and that the brief Muscat meeting showed enough consensus to continue the diplomatic track; Tehran said Ali Larijani would travel to Oman and then to Qatar to follow up, as the United States must act independently of foreign pressures, including Israeli pressures, that might ignore regional and US interests. In Oman, US special envoy Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and US Central Command Chief Admiral Brad Cooper met with Iranian officials as part of efforts to revive diplomacy, and Washington has told Iran to come to the next meeting with meaningful substance. US ambassador to Israel, Huckabee, told i24NEWS there are no significant gaps between the United States and Israel regarding Iran’s demands in any agreement. A Reuters report on the talks noted that nuclear discussions allowed Tehran to gauge Washington’s seriousness and showed enough consensus to continue on the diplomatic track.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, a sharp exchange on 103FM between Yinon Magal and Ben Kaspi spilled into personal attacks as they debated identity, demographics, the judiciary and Netanyahu, with Magal urging Kaspi to join the winners. Separately, ratings coverage shows Channel 12 leading in early and main editions with strong viewership and notable prime-time performance for “Moadot Laila,” while Raviv Druker’s program on Channel 13 reached about 5.7% with 143,000 viewers and Channel 14’s pair Yehuda Slezinger and Yaki Bardugo posted about 5.4% with 175,000 viewers, behind Here 11’s 1.8% and 54,000 viewers. A social-media/poster disparagingly claimed that Netanyahu’s successes are due to his ultra-Orthodox grandchildren, reflecting partisan commentary circulating in the discourse.

In Uplifting News, a new publication outlines eight simple, practical psychological tools to reduce heavy thinking and achieve immediate calm, offering actionable steps to ease mental strain and regain composure.
