HEADLINES
US Deploys 6,000 Troops Aboard Bush Carrier
Lebanon Front Demands New Strategic Logic
Katif el Katif Backs Bennett 2026
The time is now 6:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In US Military Role, the Pentagon is speeding up the deployment of thousands of additional troops to the Middle East as the Trump administration ramps up pressure on Iran while weighing further military action if the fragile ceasefire collapses. The rollout includes roughly 6,000 troops aboard the USS George H.W. Bush, and about 4,200 Marines and sailors with the Boxer amphibious group, set to join roughly 50,000 American troops already in the region in the coming days.
In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, a piece titled Why south Lebanon demands a new strategic logic argues that an adversary that does not accept the permanence of the opposing state does not experience a ceasefire as a settlement; it experiences it as a reload interval. The analysis suggests that this reality calls for a new strategic logic in dealing with the Lebanon front and its proxies.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, a major youth group representing Israelis serving in the military has announced political alignment with former prime minister Naftali Bennett, formally joining the Bennett 2026 party ahead of the next elections. The group, Katif el Katif (Shoulder to Shoulder), says Bennett’s platform offers a natural political home for advancing its goals, including support for the serving population and opposition to policies seen as increasing the burden on those who serve in the IDF. The group says it will stand up for Israel’s young generation and publicly endorsed Bennett, with founders Yonatan Shalev, Ido Keren, Shahar Varon, and Hanania Ben Shimon among its leading organizers, noting it has mobilized tens of thousands of young Israelis in civic activism.
In Uplifting News, Moshe Peretz is returning to the screen in a big way, heading toward a reality show and signaling a notable comeback to television for the popular Israeli singer.
