HEADLINES
- Iranian drones strike Hormuz US downs two
- IDF readies Nabatieh push tunnels reveal arms
- US munitions ready Kharg threat failed approval
The time is now 10:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Iranian Retaliation, Iran targeted shipping in the Strait of Hormuz with one-way attack drones, prompting US forces to shoot two of them down. Traffic through the strait remains ongoing.
In US Military Role, NBC reports US forces had received orders and prepared munitions for strikes similar to the previous night’s attacks; officials say Trump’s Kharg Island threat did not match an approved military plan, while Israel says any final deal must remove Iran’s enriched material.
In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, The Israel Defense Forces is preparing for a possible offensive against Hezbollah in the southern Lebanese city of Nabatieh, with the 36th Division advancing to the outskirts of Arnoun after covert operations along the Litani River, including the construction of a new bridge that allowed armored forces to cross undetected. Depending on decisions by Israel's leadership, forces could push into Nabatieh or continue westward along the Litani River, with the stated objective of further degrading Hezbollah's capabilities. In another development, IDF exclusive drone footage shows Hezbollah terrorists in an underground terror tunnel, firing at an IDF drone. While IDF troops cleared the Iranian regime-backed underground terror tunnel network beneath the Beaufort Ridge, they located numerous weapons, including mortar shells, fragmentation grenades, RPG launchers, Kornet missiles, anti-aircraft machine guns and Kalashnikov rifles.
In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, British actor Helen Mirren criticized Israel at a film festival in Sicily in her first public comments since security footage of a November incident where she was accused by a stranger of being an “evil Zionist bitch” went viral. Mirren said, “Evil forces are rising everywhere, even in a country like Israel,” adding, “How could you possibly repeat the actions of what was done to you as people to other people? Crimes against humanity, it’s called.” The Academy Award-winning actor, who is 80, is being honored with a lifetime achievement award at the festival. Mirren is not Jewish but has a long history of connection to Israel, dating back to 1967 when she worked on a kibbutz in the country’s north.
