Brigadier general Amīd killed in Israeli strike
Israeli mother sacrifices to save son
Oxygen lights up Israel Film Center Festival
The time is now 4:01 AM 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, we begin with the latest developments. The Lebanese army says several of its soldiers were killed in an Israeli strike this morning on a military vehicle on the al-Harqadi-Nabta road in southern Lebanon. The Lebanese officer killed is described as holding the rank of Amīd, equivalent to a brigadier general. The strike comes as negotiations with Lebanon face a difficult moment, following remarks by Lebanon’s president in a recent interview. Israeli fighter jets are currently striking targets along the coast between Tyre and Sidon in the clashes zone. Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for 32 attacks against IDF forces in the past 24 hours, including four drone-bomb attacks, four missile strikes at Israeli aircraft, six drone-attack operations, 11 rocket launches, six artillery bursts, and one improvised explosive device activation. All 32 attacks targeted IDF forces in southern Lebanon, and Hezbollah has in recent days avoided claiming attacks on Israeli settlements inside Israel. Last night and this morning, red alerts were sounded in northern communities; the IDF says the alerts were triggered by Hezbollah air assets aimed at areas where the IDF operates in southern Lebanon, not inside Israel. A drone exploded near IDF forces in southern Lebanon as cross-border tensions escalate, and Iran’s foreign minister has criticized the Lebanese president over claims Lebanon is a bargaining chip, saying a deal would have been reached long ago if that were the case.
In the Uplifting News, we begin with a note of human moments and culture. Oxygen: An Israeli mother sacrifices all to keep soldier son breathing. The Times of Israel’s film team discusses two Israeli titles from this year’s Israel Film Center Festival lineup with Isaac Zablocki, the festival’s programming director. The Israel Film Center Festival runs June 9–16 at the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan and expands to ten additional venues across the New York metro area, including Manhattan, Westchester, Long Island, and New Jersey. The segment highlights the festival’s focus on strong Israeli cinema and the title Oxygen as part of the lineup.
As always, I will need your help. Together, let’s pray for a great harvest of souls. The message from Amir urges faith, perseverance, and fellowship, invoking scripture to remind us that the harvest is plentiful even as the laborers are few, and that we should press on in good deeds.
Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.
