Hamas urges Iran restraint amid regional escalation
Israel pounds Hezbollah amid Roaring Lion
Michigan synagogue attacker dies after fireworks-laden vehicle
The time is now 6:02 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Iranian Retaliation, Hamas urges Iran not to strike neighboring countries, backs retaliation against Israel. Hamas on Saturday called on Iran to avoid targeting neighboring Gulf countries while also voicing support for Iran's right to retaliate against Israel. The group condemned what it called American-Zionist aggression against Iran and said Tehran has the right to respond by all available means in accordance with international law, while also urging the brothers in Iran to refrain from striking nearby states amid fears of broader regional escalation. Hamas said stopping the war is in the interest of the region and the wider Islamic world, and called on states and international organizations to work toward an immediate end to the fighting. The group praised efforts by several countries to prevent the conflict from erupting and to prioritize dialogue and diplomacy, and urged regional states to cooperate to stop the war and preserve ties among themselves. The ongoing US-Israeli campaign against Iran and Tehran's retaliation have positioned Hamas in a tricky position, having close ties with both Tehran and with actors in the Gulf. Iran expands target list after Kharg strike, warns US sites in UAE as drone hits Fujairah port. Iran says US interests in the UAE are legitimate targets after the Kharg Island attack; residents are urged to avoid ports and US sites as a drone strike hits Fujairah port and disrupts some oil activity.
In Regional Impacts, It’s very windy in the Holy Land today, and no area is feeling that more than the Gaza Strip, where the winds have brought a severe sandstorm. The gusty conditions are most pronounced in Gaza. A separate Hebrew-language post notes Gaza described as orange, with three comments in response.
In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, IDF strikes Hezbollah terrorists carrying rockets into south Lebanon weapons depot. The militants were spotted transporting rockets into a weapons storage facility in the al-Majadel area, and the Israel Air Force struck the site within minutes, killing the operatives and damaging the facility. The military says it will continue to operate against Hezbollah, accusing the Iran-backed group of attacking Israel on Tehran’s behalf. Since the start of Operation Roaring Lion, the IDF says it has killed more than 350 Hezbollah terrorists, including senior commanders. The IDF later warned that Hezbollah was making military use of ambulances and medical facilities, and that such conduct must stop immediately or Israel will act. IDF: The IDF struck Hezbollah command centers in Beirut yesterday, completing several additional waves of strikes on Hezbollah infrastructure in Beirut and southern Lebanon. Additional command centers established by Hezbollah were struck and destroyed, including centers from which terrorists operated to advance attacks against Israel. Since the start of Operation Roaring Lion, approximately 110 Hezbollah command centers have been struck. The group is said to embed its infrastructure within civilian populations, and Israel notes it has taken steps to mitigate civilian risk, including warnings, the use of precision munitions, and aerial surveillance. Lebanon’s internal dynamics are also in view, with a group calling itself the Patriotic Officers warning against using the Lebanese Army to confront Hezbollah, arguing it would threaten army unity and stability. The matter unfolds as President Aoun has signaled willingness to begin direct negotiations with Israel to end the conflict. In the same frame, voices in Beirut and Dahieh have described Hezbollah’s actions in Lebanon similarly to Hamas in Gaza. Hamas has
