On Israel Today: Ongoing War Report, host Noa Levi covers escalating regional tensions as Iran fired missiles toward the UAE, both landing in the sea, while Houthis targeted a Saudi refinery. Israel confirmed an airstrike on Syria's Abu al-Duhur Airbase following warnings over Turkish troop movements, drawing a cautionary note from a U.S. envoy. The UN's nuclear watchdog announced the discovery of 'several tons' of nuclear material in Syria, to be placed under international safeguards. In Gaza, the IDF struck Hamas commanders planning terror attacks. The U.S. also unsealed charges against Iran's Mabna Institute for alleged state-sponsored hacking. Meanwhile, concerns over antisemitism are amplified by leaked UK Green Party communications discussing 'killing Zionists' and an Israeli student's medal disqualification at an Olympiad for displaying the flag. Political developments include AIPAC funding in a California congressional race, while domestic issues involve potential expulsions in the Jordan Valley and security concerns near the Gaza border.
