HEADLINES
House approves prolonged war powers measure
Kuwait airport drone strike kills one
All 10 hostages freed in California
The time is now 12:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In US Military Role, Trump told advisers he could resume military action if Iran kills US troops, while talks over the nuclear deal reportedly stalled over Tehran’s demand for compensation, and the House approved a measure requiring congressional approval for a prolonged campaign. Separately, Joint Task Force Southern Spear under SOUTHCOM conducted a strike on a vessel operated by a designated terrorist organization, killing two narco-terrorists aboard.
In Regional Impacts, Kuwait’s Civil Aviation Authority released security camera footage of Wednesday morning’s strike by an Iranian one-way attack drone on Kuwait International Airport, which resulted in one death and dozens of injuries and caused significant damage to Terminal One.
In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Hezbollah’s deputy head Mahmoud Kamati warned that the equation of Dahiyeh against northern settlements cannot be accepted, signaling retaliation toward central Israeli cities such as Haifa and Tel Aviv if Israel strikes Beirut again. The IDF conducted nighttime raids in southern Lebanon, destroying more than 20 Hezbollah sites with six tons of explosives and a booby-trapped explosives facility, and authorities said they uncovered an apparent weapons smuggling attempt, including ten pistols. A joint statement from the United States, Israel, and Lebanon said a ceasefire would be implemented contingent on Hizbollah ceasing fire and the evacuation of Hizbollah operatives from the South Litani Sector.
In US Policy Concerning Israel, an editorial argues that Trump’s assertion that “If there wasn’t me, there would be no Israel” is an unacceptable simplification of a complex regional reality, as the piece notes a heated phone call in which Trump reportedly insulted Netanyahu and claimed he kept him out of jail.
In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, NYC Councilman Simcha Felder praised the NYPD for tracking down and arresting the individual responsible for flying a flag bearing swastikas from the top of an NYU building. Separately, an Orthodox Jewish woman was assaulted aboard a crowded New York City subway train after antisemitic remarks were directed at her, and police said a 34-year-old Bronx woman was arrested after targeting a 23-year-old Jewish rider.
In Uplifting News, all 10 hostages were freed after an hourslong standoff at a California school district office space above a bank, and the suspect, who authorities say was wearing what appeared to be an improvised explosive device, was fatally shot by the FBI.
