Holocaust survivor ordered out of Spanish museum
Or Levy blasts removal of massacre term
Military court to try Oct 7 attackers

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 Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, a Holocaust survivor was ordered to leave a Spanish museum following harassment, with reports that several visitors shouted insults at Jews including accusations that they were “crazy child killers.” The survivor was told to hide Jewish symbols.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, former Gaza hostage Or Levy spoke out against the government’s removal of the word “massacre” from official legislation regarding Hamas’s October 7 attacks and against moves to block the establishment of a state inquiry into the massacre and related national security failures. Levy, who spent nearly 500 days in captivity and whose wife Einav was killed in the attack, said, “If this isn’t called a massacre, then what is? Soon they’ll say the Holocaust didn’t happen,” adding that he recalled visiting the bomb shelter from which he was taken. Separately, a Gaza prisoner released in the Shalit deal was caught trying to enter the G Mall in Kfar Saba using a false identity. In a separate decision, the attorney general and state attorney ruled that the trial of those involved in the October 7 attacks will be conducted by the military prosecution in a specially established military court.
