IDF Captain Killed by Hezbollah Anti-Tank Missile
US Expands Travel Warnings for Iran Gaza
Jerusalem Pride Route Changes Amid Security
The time is now 9:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the Israel Defense Forces announced that Captain Eitan Shmuel Lemberg, 21, of the 75th Battalion in the 7th Armored Brigade, from Mishmar HaShiva, was killed in a Hezbollah anti-tank missile attack in southern Lebanon. According to the IDF, a Hezbollah terrorist fired an anti-tank guided missile at an Israeli tank operating north of the Litani River at around 4 p.m., killing Lemberg. Following the attack, Israeli forces carried out airstrikes and artillery fire against Hezbollah infrastructure in the area. Separately, in northern Gaza, the IDF eliminated senior Hamas General Security terror officials, including Hamas Deputy Head, in a northern Gaza strike.
In the US Policy Concerning Israel, the US State Department has renewed the Level 4 - Do Not Travel advisory for Iran, Iraq, Syria, Gaza and Yemen as well as the Level 3 - Reconsider Travel advisory for Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Israel, the West Bank, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. Enroll in the Department of State’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program, STEP, which connects travelers to the US embassy or consulate to receive the latest security updates and to facilitate contact in an emergency.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, more than 60 suspects were detained after the ultra-Orthodox Haredi riot near the home of Supreme Court Deputy President Justice Noam Sohlberg. Police said the incident was not a normal protest but a first-rate criminal event with real intent to harm, and detention is expected to be extended as the investigation continues. Separately, thousands marched to the Knesset gates for Jerusalem’s Pride March under tight security, with the route altered to end outside the Parliament. The march began at Sacher Park and moved to the Wohl Rose Garden overlooking the Knesset. Many participants viewed the change as a way to voice opposition to the government in power since late 2022, which includes lawmakers allied with homophobic figures. Ash Segal, a 21-year-old from Modiin attending the march for the fourth year, said, “I love the old route, but times are different and we need to show that we’re not going to be erased.” Jerusalem’s liberal faction, though small, remains mobilized in a city with a strong conservative tilt.
