HEADLINESDemocrats' Favorability for Israel Plummets to 33%Israeli Airstrikes Target Iranian Proxies Amid ConflictKfar Aza Residents Decry Military's October 7 ResponseThe time is now 02:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In a significant development, a recent Gallup poll reveals a stark partisan divide in American attitudes towards Israel, with only 33 percent of Democrats expressing a favorable view, a dramatic drop from 63 percent in 2022. This marks a 30-point decline over three years, contrasting sharply with the 83 percent of Republicans who maintain a positive view of Israel. The poll reflects the growing chasm in perceptions of Israel, especially following the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, with many Democrats increasingly sympathetic to the Palestinian cause. Democratic leaders acknowledge this shift but express confidence in their party's commitment to Israel, emphasizing the long-standing support for military aid, despite the changing landscape.On the frontlines of the ongoing conflict, Israel continues to engage with Iranian proxies across multiple regions, including Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria. Recent Israeli airstrikes have targeted key figures within Hezbollah and Hamas, as the country seeks to dismantle what has been described as Iran's terror axis. Intelligence reports indicate that while Iran's influence remains, its proxies are facing significant setbacks, particularly in Gaza and Lebanon, where Israeli operations have successfully degraded their operational capabilities. However, concerns persist regarding Iran's potential redirection of terrorist activities towards soft targets in the West, as well as its collaboration with criminal organizations to execute attacks against Israeli and Jewish interests abroad.In domestic matters, the Israeli community of Kfar Aza has publicly condemned the military's investigation into the events of October 7, calling it an "unimaginable failure." The kibbutz, which suffered devastating losses during the Hamas-led attack, criticized the IDF's response as inadequate, highlighting that many residents were left to fend for themselves during the onslaught. This sentiment echoes a broader concern regarding the military's preparedness and intelligence assessments leading up to the conflict.The human toll of this conflict remains profound. Recently, the funeral of Shiri Bibas and her children, victims of Hamas captivity, drew widespread attention and grief across Israel. Thousands attended the service, which symbolized the deep personal losses experienced by many families amid the ongoing violence.In international news, former President Donald Trump has announced a 25 percent tariff on the European Union, a move that could have significant economic implications. This announcement comes as Trump emphasizes the need for Israel to make strategic decisions moving forward, asserting that the current administration supports Israel's autonomy in determining its path.As the conflict continues and international relations fluctuate, the evolving dynamics between Israel, its adversaries, and its allies will be critical in shaping the future of the region.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINESHezbollah Operative Neutralized in Israeli AirstrikeIsraeli Hostage Remains Set for Return TonightPartisan Divide Grows Over US Support for IsraelThe time is now 01:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.Israeli air forces have executed a targeted strike today, eliminating a key Hezbollah operative, Mehran Ali Nasser Eldin, who played a significant role in the group’s weapon transfer unit known as Unit 4400. This unit has been instrumental in smuggling arms from Iran to Lebanon and is responsible for enhancing Hezbollah's military capabilities, posing a direct threat to Israeli security. The Israeli Defense Forces have ramped up operations against Unit 4400, which has been marked by the recent killing of its commander and other high-ranking members. This latest action highlights Israel's ongoing commitment to disrupt Hezbollah’s military infrastructure amid the ongoing regional conflict.In Gaza, a deal has been struck for the return of the remains of four Israeli hostages, which is expected to take place tonight under Egyptian mediation. This agreement comes as part of a broader ceasefire arrangement between Israel and Hamas, aiming to facilitate the return of additional hostages in future phases. However, the Israeli government has made it clear that the return of these remains will proceed without any public ceremonies organized by Hamas, reflecting ongoing sensitivities surrounding the conflict.Meanwhile, US domestic attitudes towards Israel continue to reveal a stark partisan divide. Recent statistics show a record 50-point gap in opinions between Republicans, who generally express strong support for Israel, and Democrats, whose support has notably declined. This shift is occurring against a backdrop of international developments, including new sanctions imposed by the US on Iranian entities, further complicating the geopolitical landscape.In Syria, tensions have escalated as violent clashes erupted between pro-Assad factions and government forces in the coastal region of Latakia. This unrest underscores the ongoing challenges faced by the Assad regime as various factions vie for control amidst a backdrop of civil strife.In a poignant moment, the family of Ariel Bibas, a young victim of recent violence, has shared their grief publicly, reflecting the broader emotional toll the conflict has taken on Israeli society. The funerals of victims continue to evoke national solidarity, as the nation mourns the loss of its citizens.As the situation develops, the international community remains watchful, particularly regarding Iran’s rejection of nuclear negotiations with the US, which adds another layer of complexity to an already fraught regional situation.This is an evolving story, and we will continue to bring you updates as more information becomes available.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINESRocket Mishap in Gaza Highlights Tensions RisingIsrael's Military Raids Result in 19 ArrestsWellness Retreats Offer Hope Amid Ongoing ConflictThe time is now 09:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In the latest developments surrounding the ongoing conflict involving Israel and its adversaries, significant incidents have transpired across multiple fronts, including Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and the West Bank.This morning, the Israel Defense Forces confirmed the launch of a rocket from the Gaza Strip that fell back within the territory. Initial reports suggest it may have been an accidental launch attributed to mishandling unexploded Israeli military ordnance. This incident follows a broader pattern of recent tensions, where the Israeli military has reported increased hostilities, including the failure of a bomb attack on Israeli buses in Tel Aviv. A timing error by the assailants resulted in the bombs detonating prematurely, without causing any casualties. This incident has drawn commentary from a UAE journalist, who labeled the failure as a "miracle" and criticized the Palestinian Authority for the attack's execution.On the ground in Israel, the military has intensified operations in the West Bank, where overnight raids led to the arrest of 19 wanted individuals and the seizure of seven firearms. The operations are part of ongoing efforts to thwart potential terrorist activities amidst heightened security concerns.Additionally, there have been significant social initiatives aimed at supporting families affected by the ongoing conflict. At a wellness retreat in Rishpon, around sixty couples, including reservists and their partners, participated in workshops designed to address the emotional and psychological strains of prolonged military service. The organization "The Anchor for Reserve Families" is working diligently to bridge the gaps created by extended absences during the ongoing hostilities.In the realm of international reactions, protests took place outside the BBC headquarters in London, sparked by allegations that a recent documentary produced by the broadcaster featured individuals with ties to Hamas. Activists are demanding an inquiry into the production's funding and the potential implications of broadcasting content they argue serves as propaganda for terrorism.Domestically, Israeli political dynamics continue to evolve. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trial has resumed, drawing attention as he donned an orange tie in tribute to the Bibas family, who suffered a recent tragedy. Meanwhile, Economy Ministry officials emphasize the importance of integrating ultra-Orthodox men and Arab women into the workforce as a crucial strategy for sustaining economic growth amid rising defense expenditures.As the situation unfolds, security alerts remain in place, particularly regarding potential stabbing attacks by individuals identified as threats.
