The time is now 10:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In US Military Role, the Pentagon has raised the Israel espionage threat to 'critical' as the Mossad chief ousts his deputy.

The report indicates a heightened alert level tied to leadership changes within Israel’s intelligence service, with the escalation described as significant in the bilateral security relationship.

In Regional Impacts, Turkey’s interior minister has publicly urged for governance of Jerusalem, saying Jerusalem should be liberated and that lands will be theirs again under Turkey’s leadership; he framed the statement in the context of regional power shifts and cited Erdoğan as a world leader guiding such prospects. A Hebrew-language post quoted the claim that “Jerusalem will return to be ours” as part of the broader regional rhetoric. Also included in this update are items labeled More from Beirut and Good afternoon Beirut, which appear as regional snapshots in this bulletin.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the IDF said it dismantled the launchers used by Hezbollah in a rocket attack on northern Israel issued this morning. An Israeli airstrike in Beirut’s southern suburbs targeted two apartments in the Nizlet al-Mawqif area in the Dahiyeh with three missiles. Lebanese media reported initial casualty figures of two dead and 11 injured in the Dahiyeh strike. A Hezbollah-affiliated channel issued threats in its broadcast as part of the regional tension surrounding the exchanges.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, the High Court of Justice ruled that Justice Minister Yariv Levin must cooperate with High Court President Isaac Amit on matters requiring joint action, including appointments of court presidents, vice presidents, associate judges, and other judicial personnel. A government panel urged a major overhaul of trauma care for 50,000 former IDF soldiers, recommending the creation of a largely independent authority to handle PTSD and related benefits. Lahav 433 is examining a government ministry director general and two senior officials on suspicions of fraud, breach of trust, abuse of office, and threats. The IDF Chief of Staff, Eyal Zamir, conducted a situational assessment after a terrorist attack in Judea and Samaria, briefing Central Command and Gaza Strip leadership and issuing directives for continued operations. Prime Minister Netanyahu described Israel as fighting a war on all fronts, while Itamar Ben-Gvir pledged the death penalty for terrorists if captured alive; a related law, the Death Penalty for Terrorists, was cited. Separately, the father of a Sharon-area attacker was reported arrested in connection with the incident.

In Israeli Economy and Business, Israel and the OECD will begin an in-depth study to examine the feasibility of creating a land corridor between Israel and Saudi Arabia as part of the IMEC initiative led by Toby Yeagl-nik, reflecting a potential step toward broader economic normalization in the region.
