HEADLINES
- Iran Claims Hormuz Strait Ownership Enforces Rules
- Israel-Hezbollah Ceasefire Begins Friday 4pm
- Four IDF Soldiers Killed by Hezbollah Drone
The time is now 11:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Regional Impacts, Iran asserts ownership of the Hormuz Strait and sets new procedural rules for requests via the Gulf’s chokepoint.
Following what Iran describes as the end of the American siege, Iran proclaims ownership of the Hormuz Strait. The Hormuz Strait Authority warns that requests submitted through unofficial channels will not be accepted. It says requests must be submitted at least 48 hours in advance. Vessels will incur no charges for the next 60 days.
In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, ceasefire and related incidents are described and the situation on the ground is clarified.
An Israeli official said that Israel and Hezbollah have agreed to a ceasefire, set to begin at 4 p.m. local time on Friday, with the 80 sites previously targeted representing the full response to Hezbollah’s drone attacks. A US official said mediators from the United States and Qatar, with help from Iran, worked out the deal. The IDF has stated that it will continue operating in Lebanon unless directed otherwise. Earlier in the day, Hezbollah’s drone attacks prompted the exchange of fire that led to the ceasefire discussions, in which four IDF soldiers were killed. US officials relayed to Iran, via mediators, that Israel would refrain from further attacks against Hezbollah. Separately, sirens were sounded in Israeli border communities after a Hezbollah drone crossed the border, and the IDF struck Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon in response.
