Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - Update from 2025-10-11 at 21:05

HEADLINESCeasefire advances 48 hostages slatedSharm summit Iran invited Netanyahu excludedIran open to nuclear talks no normalizationThe time is now 6:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.This is the hour update. Good evening.A US brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas remains the defining thread of the day as the first phase of the agreement progresses toward a hoped-for end to the gravest burst of hostilities in years. The parties have agreed to begin exchanging hostages for prisoners under a framework announced in Sharm el-Sheikh, with the aim of releasing 48 hostages held in Gaza. Of those, 20 are believed to be alive and set to be returned in the coming days, while the exchange includes the release of about 2,000 Palestinian detainees held in Israeli facilities. The arrangement envisions a multi‑stage process that observers say could stretch over the next 72 hours, with medical checks, identification procedures, and a handover overseen by the International Red Cross at designated crossings.On the diplomatic front, Egypt’s leadership has signaled that Sharm el-Sheikh will host a high-level international summit on Monday, intended to validate and push forward the ceasefire and hostage release efforts. President Abdel Fattah el‑Sisi will preside over the gathering, with participation from President Donald Trump and leaders from around two dozen countries. The arrangements call for a broader push toward regional security, peace, and stability, though Israel has not been invited to participate in the formal summit itself. The United States has widened the guest list to include countries such as Spain, Japan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Hungary, India, and others, and word from official channels indicates that Iran has been invited to attend as part of a broader regional outreach. The aim is to demonstrate a path toward reducing conflict and expanding dialogue after the Gaza crisis.In the arena of security and diplomacy, Iran has signaled a cautious openness. Tehran’s foreign minister said Iran would consider a fair, balanced US proposal for nuclear talks but rejected any suggestion of normalization of relations with Israel under current conditions. The assessment underscores a broader regional calculus in which Tehran weighs engagement in talks against the possibility of reducing regional tensions and preserving its own strategic aims.Three Qatari diplomats were reported killed in a traffic accident in Sharm el‑Sheikh, a development that, in the middle of efforts to advance negotiations, spotlights the risks and fragility of regional diplomacy. The Qatar delegation has been closely involved in mediation efforts and in coordinating contacts among negotiating parties during the talks around the ceasefire and hostage return.Back home in Israel, the atmosphere at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv reflected the emotional stakes of the moment. Leaders and families of hostages filled the square and surrounding avenues as special envoy Steve Witkoff praised the role of President Trump and other negotiators in shaping what many described as a breakthrough. Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump were among the high-profile figures present, echoing a sentiment of gratitude and resolve. The cheers for Trump were loud and sustained, while Netanyahu’s name drew jeers from portions of the crowd. The scene drew comment from across the political spectrum, including Benny Gantz, who called booing the prime minister a mistake in the presence of international officials and hostage families. Ministers from Netanyahu’s Likud party defended the prime minister, stressing that leadership and decisions taken under extraordinary pressure were essential to obtaining the hostage returns announced in the ceasefire framework.Families of slain hostages and those still awaiting news spoke at the rallies with a mixture of relief and vigil. The process involves careful handling of remains in cases where some hostages are confirmed dead, with identification protocols scheduled to run through the coming days. Human beings at the center of the story—families who have carried years of grief—made clear that the goal remains bringing every hostage home, living or dead, and to honor the memory of those who did not return.Beyond the immediate crisis, observers note a wider picture: Syria appears to be moving to capitalize on newly recognized ties as sanctions relax and regional realignments take hold. Analysts caution that the path forward will depend on sustained trust, enforcement of humanitarian commitments, and visible gains for civilians on both sides. In Europe, cultural and academic communities continue to grapple with security and safety concerns around antisemitism and extremism, with official statements urging vigilance and proactive action to protect Jewish students and communities in Britain and beyond.In a separate thread, a Paris restaurant opening, Sababa, the Taste of Peace, has brought together Palestinian, French, and Israeli founders to showcase Middle Eastern cuisine as a bridge-building initiative. The venture highlights how everyday cultural exchange can accompany the political narrative, offering a tangible instance of people-to-people engagement amid crises.On the international stage, a routine but poignant reminder of the broader burden of conflict comes from health and emergency services communities grappling with the October 7 consequences in Israel. Paramedics and first responders speak to the lasting trauma and the ongoing effort to care for those affected by war and displacement, underscoring the human cost behind the headlines.In the United Kingdom, officials reiterated the need for stronger action against antisemitism on university campuses in light of a recent synagogue attack, underscoring a global tension between security, free expression, and protecting minority communities.Across the Atlantic, a notable cultural footnote emerged as Hollywood icon Diane Keaton passed away at the age of 79, leaving a lasting imprint on cinema and popular culture.Looking ahead, the horizon is dominated by the ceasefire’s implementation milestones and the international summit’s outcomes. The path forward will depend on the ability of all parties to maintain trust, deliver on commitments to hostage releases and humanitarian access, and translate diplomatic progress into tangible security benefits for civilians in Gaza and for Israelis living under the shadow of conflict. In Washington, the administration’s stated approach remains closely aligned with Israel as part of a strategy built on strength and cooperative diplomacy intended to quiet conflicts rather than widen them.This has been the hour’s update. We will continue to monitor the ceasefire implementation, hostage release developments, regional diplomacy, and the broader international context as events unfold.

HEADLINESTrump to attend Sharm el-Sheikh summitHamas hostage releases could begin any timeIran open to balanced US nuclear proposalThe time is now 5:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.This is the 5:00 PM hour of the daily news briefing. The United States brokered ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, announced in Sharm el-Sheikh, continues to shape regional diplomacy as Egypt prepares to host a major summit aimed at finalizing a plan to end the Gaza war. Egyptian officials say more than 20 world leaders will attend the Red Sea resort meeting, including United States President Donald Trump. In Gaza, Hamas officials say the first group of hostages will be freed on Monday morning as part of the ceasefire deal, with three hospitals ready to receive returning hostages. Israel says hostage releases could come at any time while maintaining readiness and continuing security operations along the Gaza border.In Israel, families and communities remain focused on the long road home for captives taken on October 7, 2023. Tens of thousands gathered in Tel Aviv to mark 735 days since Hamas took hostages, expressing renewed hope that a ceasefire may finally bring them home. The mood is tempered by vigilance, as officials stress that progress could come in stages and that security concerns remain paramount for the Israeli public.On the diplomatic front, Iran says it is open to a fair and balanced US nuclear proposal, but Tehran has not received a formal offer for negotiations. Tehran says it would consider a reasonable proposal, while insisting it will not surrender its right to enrich uranium, though it could accept confidence-building measures to demonstrate the peaceful intent of its nuclear program. At the same time, Iran dismissed President Trump’s suggestion that Tehran might normalize relations with Israel as wishful thinking.Regional dynamics are evolving in other ways as well. Syria appears eager to capitalize on newly loosened international ties, signaling it could move to reap the benefits of potential relief from sanctions. In the broader picture, a leaked United States document set details of covert regional security cooperation, showing that at least six Arab states secretly participated in a security framework with Israel focused on countering Iran and shared expertise on tunnel warfare. The development underscores the shifting, sometimes quiet, regional alignments surrounding the Gaza conflict.Across the boundary of combat and diplomacy, ground elements continued to shift as well. The Israel Defense Forces reported two suspects attempting to smuggle across the Egyptian border were spotted near the border; one was neutralized and the other detained, with no injuries to soldiers. On the security front inside Israel, authorities say a prisoner scheduled for release under the ceasefire deal attacked a prison guard, prompting a review of release lists that could affect the deal’s implementation.There is also a political and media thread, as Ivanka Trump spoke from Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, telling a crowd that her father sees the people and stands with them, reflecting how the Trump administration’s approach to peace through strength has framed public expectations in Israel. In another public sign of regional pressure, senior Hamas official Mousa Abu Marzouk briefly walked out of an interview when pressed about the consequences of the October 7 attack, highlighting the ongoing tensions within Hamas about accountability and strategy.On the battlefield, the casualties in Gaza continue to be a source of international concern. The Gaza health authorities report tens of thousands killed or missing, while Israel says it has killed a substantially smaller but significant number of its fighters in the conflict. The conflict’s human cost remains at the center of every discussion of any ceasefire agreement and any pathway to a lasting peace.In sports and security headlines, a World Cup qualifier in Oslo drew large, tense crowds. Norway defeated Israel 5-0 amid heavy security and pro-Palestinian protests that led to tear gas and arrests. Police enforced strict measures around the stadium, and the day’s atmosphere reflected the broader international sensitivities surrounding Israel’s participation in international sports while the Gaza crisis continues unabated.In other developments, cultural and domestic news remind us that life goes on beyond the conflict. The American actress Diane Keaton, renowned for her work in classic films, has died at 79. Back in Israel, a renewed focus on mental health acknowledges the lasting impact of the months of conflict; health officials are calling for expanded access to psychological services to support communities processing trauma.Looking ahead, the scheduled Monday events in Sharm el-Sheikh carry significant implications. Officials say the summit will involve discussions with more than twenty leaders and will include a focus on hostages, ceasefire verification, and steps toward stabilizing the region. The plan appears to be: progress on the hostage releases as a confidence-building measure, while maintaining firm security postures and pause points to prevent a relapse into full-scale hostilities. The United States is framed as a central partner in pursuing a peace through strength approach, working in close alignment with Israel to advance security, stability, and a sustainable ceasefire.This is your hourly briefing. We will continue to monitor the evolving ceasefire, diplomatic maneuvers, and the broader regional shifts as events unfold.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINESCeasefire framework approved, hostage plan outlinedIsraeli reservist dies as Gaza toll climbsLeaked docs reveal Arab-Israel tunnel pactThe time is now 4:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.At four in the afternoon, here is your hourly briefing on the region’s latest developments.A United States-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, announced in Sharm el-Sheikh, is designed to halt fighting in Gaza and set the stage for a phased agreement. The framework calls for an Israeli withdrawal to lines agreed in the Trump-era plan, followed by a staged hostage release. In the first phase, 48 hostages would be freed in exchange for 250 Palestinian prisoners serving life terms and 1,700 Palestinian security inmates detained during the Gaza operations. A 72-hour window would begin for the initial hostage releases, after which further steps toward a longer-term peace framework would be negotiated. Israel’s cabinet has approved the ceasefire framework as the first step in a broader effort to end the war and restore stability to the Gaza Strip.In Israel, a reservist's death is being mourned as the war’s toll continues to mount. Master Sergeant Shmuel Gad Rahamim, 31, from Givat Ze’ev, of the Southern Brigade’s 7015th Battalion, died from wounds sustained in Gaza earlier this week. Two other reservists were wounded in the same incident, which occurred at an IDF post near Khan Younis. An investigative panel led by a senior commander has been established to determine the circumstances of the blast. With Rahamim’s passing, the military notes three police officers and several civilian contractors among those who have died in the course of the Gaza operations. The overall Israeli toll in the Gaza conflict and related border actions remains significant as ground operations continue alongside the ceasefire process.On the US and allied front, President Trump’s team continues to frame support for the plan. Ivanka Trump told a Tel Aviv audience that her father sees the people of Israel, hears them, and stands with them in pursuing peace through strength in close partnership with Israel. In remarks aligned with the ceasefire narrative, a senior Trump envoy in Tel Aviv reiterated Washington’s position that Israeli forces had withdrawn to the lines proposed in the Trump ceasefire framework, a point corroborated by CENTCOM leadership in other public statements.Iran dismissed any notion of normalizing relations with Israel, calling the idea wishful thinking. Tehran reiterated that it will not recognize an occupying regime it says has committed genocide and killed children, signaling continued resistance to any broad rapprochement with Israel even as regional diplomacy proceeds.Leaked US documents have shed light on a clandestine regional security network in which at least six Arab states participated in collaboration with Israel on countering Iran and on tunnel warfare. The disclosures portray a level of intelligence sharing and joint training that public statements have not fully reflected, underscoring the complexity of regional security dynamics as negotiations proceed.In Europe, anti-Israel demonstrations continued in London, with organizers arguing that the Gaza ceasefire does not address the conflict’s root causes. Protesters clashed with pro-Israel counterdemonstrators at times, drawing attention to ongoing debates about the path to long-term peace in the region.France is also in transition headlines, as reports point to a government reshuffle under President Macron. Sebastian Lecornu is cited as a potential successor or a key figure in the new administration, reflecting ongoing political recalibrations as the country positions itself in relation to broader Middle East policy and security matters.In Gaza, voices from across the conflict environment persist. Hamas leaders have faced public questions about the October 7 attack’s consequences; a senior Hamas figure’s on-air departure from an interview after being pressed on the attack’s impact drew renewed attention to internal debates within Hamas. The broader public sentiment in Gaza shows frustration and a shift in support as the war enters a new phase, with hostages still unaccounted for and aid deliveries continuing to shape daily life.On the security front near the Egyptian border, Israeli forces reported two suspects attempting to smuggle across into Egypt. In the course of the operation to thwart the smuggling, one suspect was neutralized and another detained, with no injuries reported among the troops.Domestic incidents also surfaced in Israel today. A 14-year-old cyclist was injured in a street incident in the city of Safed and was transported to a local hospital for treatment. As security operations continue and the ceasefire framework unfolds, law enforcement and emergency services remain at heightened readiness.As the ceasefire momentum unfolds, the public will be watching closely for the first wave of hostages to be released, the security forces’ adherence to the agreed lines, and the steps taken to ensure the stability of the Gaza border region while safeguarding Israeli security interests. The conversation inside Israel and among its allies will continue to focus on achieving lasting peace through a stance of strength, security, and responsible leadership.This is your four o’clock update.

HEADLINESCeasefire holds as Gaza pullback progressesHamas mobilizes 7,000, installs five governorsWitkoff Kushner push peace amid boosThe time is now 3:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.Good afternoon. A United States brokered ceasefire announced in Sharm el-Sheikh remains in effect as Israel reports a partial withdrawal from Gaza in line with the first phase of the plan endorsed by Washington. Israeli forces have pulled back from the areas they occupied in southern Gaza and now hold positions along a line described by officials as the yellow line, with preparations continuing to receive hostages held by Hamas. Officials say evidence of progress toward release of hostages continues, though the timetable remains uncertain and negotiations over disarmament and governance features of any long term arrangement are expected to be difficult.In Israel, the military and intelligence community advance with a sense of caution, acknowledging significant challenges ahead as families of the missing and the dead hold vigil. A reservist who was gravely wounded in an October 7 operation in southern Gaza, Master Sergeant Shmuel Gad Rahamim, age 31 from Giv’at Ze’ev, has died of his wounds. Rahamim’s passing follows the deaths of others who were injured in the same October 7 incident, with two additional reserve soldiers injured in the same flare of fighting. Israeli authorities say preparations to identify the remains of hostages and fallen soldiers are proceeding under strict security protocols.The ceasefire environment comes amid reporting that Hamas has begun to reassert some control in Gaza after the IDF redeployed from areas recently vacated. BBC reporting, citing local sources, indicates Hamas mobilized roughly 7,000 members of its internal security forces to deploy across districts it says it has cleared of combatants and to appoint five new governors to oversee areas of the Gaza Strip. The organization reportedly issued calls for mobilization and warned that forces in civilian clothes and in uniforms alike could appear in public spaces as part of efforts to re-establish authority. Palestinian officials and observers caution that such moves could presage renewed internal tensions or new clashes as negotiations progress.On the diplomatic front, US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner addressed crowds in Tel Aviv’s Hostages’ Square, delivering messages of perseverance and partnership. Witkoff told the crowd—before pauses and cheers interjected by sections of the audience—that he dreamed of the night’s scene, praising the ability of leaders and families to endure and to work toward peace through courage. Kushner, standing alongside Witkoff, spoke to the gathering with a mixture of praise and humility, saying he was honored to work with the people and leaders who have borne the burden of the crisis. The crowd reacted with visible mixed emotions, including boos when Kushner’s name was invoked, reflecting the tense political currents inside Israel as the peace process unfolds.In remarks that drew attention from many watching around the world, Kushner emphasized that the peace process in the region is not a surrender but a commitment to security and stability. He and Witkoff credited Israeli leadership with steadfast resolve in the face of extraordinary challenges, and Kushner underscored the importance of maintaining momentum toward the return of hostages. He also offered personal reflections on the night of October 7, recalling how events unfolded and the deep pain that followed for families on all sides. In the same venue, former White House adviser Jared Kushner reiterated that the operation would not be about surrender but about securing a future in which Israel can live in safety and its neighbors can prosper.Analysts caution that while the ceasefire provides a tactical pause, the strategic questions remain unresolved. Hamas leaders have publicly indicated they are prepared to continue fighting if conditions change, and they have hinted that disarmament and governance issues could become points of contention in future negotiations. The deal’s scope includes expectations of hostage releases and a framework for Israeli security arrangements, but turning that framework into durable peace will require patience, trust, and continued international engagement.Meanwhile, observers note signs that Tehran’s influence in the region remains contested. Reports in regional and international outlets describe what some analysts see as a degraded posture of Iranian proxies and a shifting balance of power among allied groups. At the same time, reporting circulated about potential ship movements and arms considerations that could affect the broader stability of the Gulf and surrounding theaters. Officials in various capitals say the United States and allied partners will continue to press for verifiable steps toward reducing violence and increasing humanitarian access, while also pressing for accountability for those who orchestrate or enable mass violence against civilians.In a related development, Israeli security and forensic teams are preparing to identify 28 hostages whose bodies are being returned from Gaza, a task described as one of the most challenging in the country’s recent history. The nation has been careful to emphasize that all steps taken in this process are carried out with due regard for the families and for the dignity of those involved.In the broader regional context, tensions and strategic calculations persist. Hamas continues to emphasize its readiness to resume fighting if conditions deteriorate, while other regional actors watch closely for changes in the on-the-ground balance of power and for opportunities to influence the trajectory of the conflict. The United States maintains that its approach—rooted in security, humanitarian considerations, and the pursuit of peace through strength—remains central to stabilizing the region and safeguarding civilian lives.That is the latest on the ground and in the corridors of diplomacy as authorities work to translate a fragile truce into a lasting peace, and as families across Israel and Gaza await word of their loved ones and a future free from fear.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINESPause holds as Israel withdraws to linesHamas mobilizes 7000 security forces in GazaIdentifying 28 hostages' bodies underwayThe time is now 2:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.Two o’clock in the afternoon, and this is the hour’s update on the developing situation in Israel, Gaza, and the broader Middle East. A US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas announced in Sharm el-Sheikh remains the central thread, with both sides reporting adherence to the lines laid out in the Trump peace plan’s first phase. American officials, including the White House envoy Steve Witkoff and CENTCOM commander Admiral Brad Cooper, have publicly reaffirmed that Israeli forces in Gaza have withdrawn to the agreed positions, signaling a pause that many hope can hold as the terms of the ceasefire are tested in the days ahead. The framing from Washington has emphasized the goal of stabilizing a volatile situation through peace through strength, a principle proponents say aligns with Israel’s security needs and its insistence on guarding against renewed threats on multiple fronts.In Gaza, Israeli forces began a partial withdrawal in alignment with the first phase of the ceasefire framework, as part of an orderly transition toward the location-based lines agreed in Sharm el-Sheikh. Preparations are underway to receive the 48 hostages still held by Hamas, with authorities signaling a meticulous, careful approach to any further movement or handover. Israel’s security establishment has underscored that the disengagement is designed to reduce civilian hardship while maintaining the capability to respond decisively if Hamas violates the terms of the arrangement. The operational mood in Jerusalem remains resolute: security authorities say the threat landscape outside Gaza’s immediate border remains complex, and any gains must be safeguarded against a range of hostile actions.Across Gaza, Hamas has moved to reassert control over areas recently vacated by the Israeli Defense Forces. Reports, including BBC sourcing cited by Israel Hayom, indicate that roughly 7,000 members of Hamas’s internal security forces have been mobilized, with five new governors appointed to oversee different districts. The move is described as an effort to reestablish administrative and security control, including deployments by former armed wing commanders and militants who have influenced the strip’s power balance for years. The recruitment push reportedly reached members by phone and text messages, rallying them to report within 24 hours. Local observers warn that the redeployment could heighten internal friction and potentially spark clashes as factions jockey for influence in a post-withdrawal environment. A veteran Palestinian security officer and other local voices described a Gaza in flux, concerned about a slide into renewed intra-Palestinian violence even as Hamas seeks to project authority.Within Israel’s broader narrative, the American effort remains a defining backdrop. Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and adviser, has publicly shared reflections on the past ten months, emphasizing partnership with Israeli leaders and the shared sense of responsibility for regional stability. In remarks delivered to audiences in the space known as the “Hostages’ Square,” Kushner and Witkoff have framed the moment as the convergence of determination and courage that can yield a durable path to peace. The exchanges have underscored a view that the path forward requires steadfast leadership from Israel and persistent, principled diplomacy from American partners, with a message of gratitude extended to regional allies who supported the effort. The tone has been celebratory of a difficult breakthrough, tempered by the recognition that the road ahead will demand continued restraint, coordination, and vigilance from all sides.From the security front in Israel, forensic and investigative teams are preparing for one of the more challenging tasks: identifying the bodies of 28 Israeli hostages being returned from Hamas captivity. Teams are assembling a database and mobilizing experts to carry out what authorities describe as a painstaking and essential process, aimed at ensuring families know the fates of their loved ones and that the record of the crisis is accurately documented for history and accountability. The identification operation is viewed as a sensitive, meticulously coordinated step within a broader humanitarian and security framework tied to the ceasefire and hostage negotiations.Beyond the immediate theater of conflict, developments in the region and beyond continue to shape the political and security calculus. A BBC-based report on Hamas’s mobilization in Gaza drew attention to the organization’s effort to reassert control, with new governors appointed to oversee districts and new security deployments observed by observers. The broader regional environment remains charged with a mix of security concerns, diplomatic maneuvers, and the ongoing reporting of arms movements and strategic alignments that could influence future rounds of pressure, negotiation, and potential escalation.Internationally, a day marked by a spectrum of security concerns drew attention to the fragility of peace efforts and the diverse responses from public audiences. In Oslo, hundreds gathered for a pro-Palestinian demonstration during a World Cup qualifier between Israel and Norway, briefly unfurling a large Palestinian flag and banners calling for the protection of children. The scene illustrated the global resonance of the conflict and the way popular sentiment can ripple into sports, diplomacy, and public discourse. Meanwhile, in Paris, reports of a threatening letter received by workers at Notre-Dame Cathedral surfaced, prompting a security response and a reminder of the persistent threat environment that underpins public life across the Atlantic world.In another regional thread, observers noted conversations around Iran’s influence and its proxies as part of the broader security equation. Reports and commentary referenced by outlets in the region suggest that US and allied actions—such as efforts to constrain Iranian maritime activity and to monitor arms movements—continue to shape the calculus of Iran’s partners and adversaries. At the same time, discussions around arms deals and regional alignments contribute to a sense of strategic volatility that could affect the ceasefire’s durability and the feasibility of a sustained political settlement. In parallel, speculation about export controls and potential military movements linked to Iran and its network underscores the risk that external shocks could complicate the region’s fragile pause.On the ground in Gaza’s Beit Lahia and the Sabra neighborhood, reports indicate security chaos as competing factions clash and the aftershocks of the ceasefire reverberate through daily life. The tension underscores how quickly the ceasefire’s calm can be punctured if groups test the limits of the new order or if external actors misread signals about who holds authority on the ground. The human dimension remains acute: families displaced or separated by the fighting, civilians navigating aftermaths, and a population braced for a long, uncertain pause that will be judged by whether trust can be rebuilt across the lines of conflict.Closer to home, Israel’s domestic and regional security posture remains anchored in the combination of deterrence and diplomacy. American leadership touted as essential to the ceasefire’s framework—along with the collaboration seen in Washington, Jerusalem, and allied capitals—continues to project an image of American commitment to Israel’s security interests as part of a broader strategy for Middle East stability. At the same time, regional partners, including those who have voiced support for Israel’s right to defend itself, are weighing how best to sustain momentum on peace efforts without allowing violence to reassert itself.As events unfold, the ceasefire’s durability will be measured by the ability of all parties to maintain restraint, enforce the provisions of the agreement, and demonstrate tangible steps toward mediation, humanitarian relief, and political process. For Israel, the emphasis remains on security—on safeguarding its citizens, ensuring the integrity of its borders, and preventing attacks from any quarter. For its American partners, the aim is to balance a robust security posture with a clear pathway toward peace through strength, consistent with the approach articulated by President Trump and his administration during this period of regional volatility.For audiences seeking a broader lens, the day’s stories remind us that the region’s stability is inextricably linked to how well leaders manage the balance between force and diplomacy, how regional actors respect red lines, and how the international community supports a sustainable peace that addresses legitimate security concerns while preserving human dignity. The path ahead will require disciplined reporting, careful diplomacy, and a steady commitment to the truth, even as the headlines continue to evolve.That is the latest from the field and from the capitals that frame this crisis. The news continues to develop, and we will bring you further updates as soon as they are confirmed. This is the hour, and this is the moment—one that many hope marks a turning point toward peace through strength, with the responsibility shared by Israel, its allies, and the broader international community. And that, in the words of many who have watched this drama unfold, is the way it is.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINES- Israel Pulls Back as Gaza Aid Surges- Hostage Release Linked to Ceasefire Terms- Hamas Rebuilds Gaza Influence Retains ArmsThe time is now 1:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.This is the 1:00 PM update on the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and related developments.The first phase of the US-brokered ceasefire announced in Sharm el-Sheikh remains in effect as the day advances, with Israeli forces having pulled back from the most intensified fronts to the agreed lines. Israeli officials say the withdrawal marks meaningful progress toward the framework that envisions a longer-term pause in fighting and a path toward hostage releases and prisoner exchanges. In Gaza, aid movements have accelerated as crossings reopen and humanitarian deliveries scale up. Government officials report that more than 500 trucks entered Gaza on Friday, signaling expanded aid access, though the UN and aid groups warn that the destruction from two years of fighting has created a humanitarian emergency of unprecedented scale and complexity.On the hostage front, Israel’s military confirmed that 48 hostages remain in Gaza, with assurances that those still held would be freed by Monday as the ceasefire holds into its second day. The timetable for releases is tightly linked to the broader deal, which also calls for the transfer of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. In parallel, Hamas and allied groups have signaled that they will pursue the agreement’s terms while resisting changes to the prisoner-release list. A Hamas spokesman reiterated that the group will not disarm and that the path to ending the conflict hinges on adherence to the agreed framework and the gradual return of captives and the missing remains.International involvement remains central to sustaining the pause. US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, along with senior US military officials, have visited Israeli forces in the Gaza vicinity to oversee progress and to discuss ongoing coordination. The Pentagon’s Central Command has described a plan to establish a Civil-Military Coordination Center in Israel that would synchronize activities related to Gaza’s stabilization, with the understanding that US personnel will not be operating on the ground inside Gaza but will coordinate from nearby bases and regional hubs. Reports indicate that a contingent of American personnel will begin arriving to assist in monitoring and liaison roles, alongside regional partners including Egyptian, Qatari, Turkish, and likely Emirati officials embedded in the effort. The aim is to ensure that action remains aligned with the terms of the ceasefire and the hostage-release schedule, while preventing misidentification of bodies and maintaining security along the border.In Washington, President Donald Trump is anticipated to arrive in the region to address the Knesset during a tightly choreographed trip designed to emphasize a continuity of hard-edged diplomacy. The administration has framed its approach as peace through strength, working closely with Israel to pursue an arrangement that ends the fighting while preserving Israel’s security requirements. Officials stress that any long-term arrangement will depend on the parties’ willingness to uphold the terms of the ceasefire, including Hamas’s disarmament or credible steps toward disarmament, and Israel’s security assurances at the borders and within Gaza’s evolving governance framework.Beyond the ceasefire process, regional and international reporting underscores shifting dynamics inside Gaza. BBC reporting this week highlighted a strategy within Hamas to rebuild influence by mobilizing thousands of fighters and appointing new local administrators to govern the territory’s five districts, a move that signals a readiness to operate under the new framework without surrendering battlefield leverage. In parallel, Israeli officials and international observers are watching closely for signs of social and political resilience in Gaza as aid flows increase and displaced residents begin returning to shattered neighborhoods. The scale of reconstruction will depend heavily on sustained international funding and the easing of movement restrictions that currently constrain economic life and access to basic services.On the battlefield and governance questions, Hamas has insisted that its arms will remain beneath the umbrella of the Palestinian national movement, arguing that the weaponry and combat capabilities were essential to defend the Palestinian cause while the group negotiates under international mediation. Israeli leaders, for their part, have stressed that any future phase of the conflict will hinge on Hamas’s willingness to disarm, and they have warned that failure to meet security benchmarks could trigger renewed hostilities. The prisoner-list issue remains a focal point of contention, with both sides acknowledging a mutual interest in maintaining momentum on the hostage-release track while managing the broader questions of governance, security, and accountability in Gaza.Domestic developments back home remind audiences that, even as a ceasefire holds, security challenges persist. A mass shooting at a high school in Mississippi resulted in four deaths and twelve injuries, with investigators continuing to pursue leads and determine motives. In international discourse, Turkey’s president faced public calls during a rally in which crowds urged him to bring the country to Gaza, to which he replied that his immediate priority was to Gaza and that others would follow. In parallel, reports from Washington and allied capitals continue to stress the importance of the ceasefire’s first phase as a test case for the broader strategy in the region, with analysts weighing whether the current framework can deliver sustained security and humanitarian relief without rekindling full-scale hostilities.Looking ahead, observers will be watching how the hostage-release schedule unfolds, how the prisoner list is managed, and how security arrangements evolve as the ceasefire proceeds into its next phases. The presence of a dedicated US coordination center and embedded regional partners signals a deliberate, multilateral effort to stabilize a volatile environment, but the ultimate success will depend on credible commitments from all sides and a durable path for Gaza’s governance and reconstruction. As always, we will bring you the latest developments as they occur, and we will assess how these events shape the broader pursuit of peace and security in this troubled region.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINESCeasefire holds as Israel demands Hamas disarm28 hostages identified after bodies returnedUS CENTCOM-led stabilization center formsThe time is now 12:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.The ceasefire brokered by the United States and announced in Sharm el-Sheikh is holding as Israel and Hamas move into the first phase of the deal, with security arrangements and humanitarian steps continuing on the ground. In Jerusalem, Israeli officials say the next stage will depend on Hamas disarming and meeting security commitments; Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that if the disarmament goal is not achieved, Israel will pursue security measures as needed to protect its citizens.A somber task is underway as an Israeli forensic team completes preparations to identify 28 hostages whose bodies are being returned from Hamas custody. Dozens of experts are standing by for one of the war’s most difficult procedures, even as hopes for living releases remain part of the negotiation landscape. Overall, Hamas continues to hold 48 hostages in Gaza, with 26 bodies confirmed dead by Israeli authorities; about 20 hostages are believed to be alive, with concerns remaining for two others.Security conditions inside Gaza have shown signs of strain as the ceasefire takes effect. Palestinian factions have reported clashes in Beit Lahia and the Sabra neighborhood and broader security chaos in certain areas of the Strip, underscoring the fragility of a halt to fighting two years after the October 7th crisis. In a related thread, some voices within Hamas have stressed their commitment to completing the first phase of the agreement, including cooperation with mediators to locate the remains of captives and to advance the terms tied to civilian exchanges.The US diplomatic footprint has been large and practical. US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and CENTCOM commander Admiral Brad Cooper traveled to an Israeli base in Gaza to confirm that the withdrawal components of the ceasefire had proceeded as scheduled. They outlined plans to establish a CENTCOM-led Civil-Military Coordination Center to synchronize post-conflict stabilization efforts, while stressing that American troops would not be stationed on the ground in Gaza. Reports indicate a US military advisory presence—about 200 personnel—will assist from regional bases to monitor the truce and support coordination, with other regional partners embedded in the mission.Former US President Donald Trump has been central to these dynamics, having helped secure the initial ceasefire framework. He is slated to visit Israel and address the Knesset during a high-profile stopover, underscoring the administration’s emphasis on peace through strength and the belief that a robust international framework can support security for Israel while advancing diplomacy with Hamas and other regional actors.Humanitarian relief is a parallel focus. Aid deliveries have accelerated, with more than 500 trucks crossing into Gaza on a single day as crossings reopen and routes expand. The UN and aid partners have urged Israel to maintain open humanitarian corridors and to ensure aid reaches civilians in need as reconstruction begins. The scale of destruction remains stark, with the Gaza Strip's death toll surpassing 66,000 and the displaced population approaching two million. The damage to housing and essential services is measured in tens of billions of dollars, and the UN warned that much of Gaza’s infrastructure has been shattered, complicating recovery efforts even as humanitarian channels widen.In the broader regional picture, Lebanon reported a deadly overnight strike that Israeli officials described as targeting Hezbollah infrastructure, prompting condemnation from Lebanese President Joseph Aoun who argued the attack risked expanding conflict after the Gaza ceasefire. The strike and its fallout have added another layer of volatility to a region already watching tightly for how the Gaza agreement will unfold. Separately, pro-Palestinian demonstrations continued in London, reflecting a mix of relief and skepticism about the ceasefire’s durability.On the home front, families affected by the October 7th crisis remain intensely focused on the fate of their loved ones, expressing both the grief of mourning and the demand for durable accountability and clarity about what comes next. As the ceasefire endures into its second day, the questions now center on whether Hamas will fulfill its disarmament and governance commitments, how quickly aid and reconstruction can accelerate in Gaza, and what the long-term security and political arrangements will require from Israel, the United States, and regional partners.This is a moment when the gains of quiet cooperation must be matched by credible, verifiable steps that reduce civilian suffering while preserving Israel’s security. The hours ahead will test the balance between deterrence and diplomacy, between humanitarian relief and strategic patience, as the international community watches closely for signs that the promise of peace through strength can translate into lasting stability for Israelis and Palestinians alike.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINESCeasefire advances; hostages released under monitorsFamilies watch 28 hostages' remains identifiedUS envoy verifies Gaza withdrawal, boosts trustThe time is now 11:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.This is the 11:00 AM news update. The United States‑brokered ceasefire announced in Sharm el‑Sheikh is moving into its second day as both sides begin implementing the initial terms of the agreement. The first phase centers on a staged withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and the release of hostages held by Hamas, with monitors watching for commitments to be met. Israeli officials say the plan aims to free the remaining hostages in a staged process, though Hamas has signaled it may require more time to locate and return the bodies of some captives. The terms also call for a measured, verifiable withdrawal and guarantees from mediators that the war will not resume while the ceasefire holds.In Israel, authorities are preparing for a highly delicate task that will define the return of some of the most harrowing chapters of this conflict. An Israeli forensic team is completing preparations to identify the remains of 28 Israeli hostages whose bodies are being returned from Hamas captivity. This is among the most challenging operations in recent memory, conducted with the families watching closely for every update as the process moves forward.On the ground in Gaza, the ceasefire has begun to take hold in practical terms, but reports from various districts describe continuing chaotic and tense conditions. Palestinian factions in some areas are said to be testing the new boundary conditions, occasionally clashing with local groups as security systems shift from wartime operations to post‑conflict policing. The period is still fragile, and officials caution that the situation could evolve rapidly as aid, power, and communications are reorganized under the new arrangement.In Tel Aviv and across Israel, thousands of people are preparing to participate in mass gatherings organized by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum. The mood in Hostages Square is a mix of cautious relief and resolve, with family members and supporters stressing that the struggle will not end until all hostages are home. The rally schedule also includes performances and remarks from participants, with attendance expected in parallel gatherings around Jerusalem and other key sites. The families’ message remains clear: the implementation of the agreement will be judged by deeds, not words.Washington’s role remains central to the process. US envoy Steve Witkoff and CENTCOM commander Admiral Bradley Cooper are reported to have visited Gaza to confirm that Israeli withdrawal under the ceasefire is complete. Their presence underscores the effort to verify that the terms of the first phase are being met and that both sides have tangible reasons to trust the next steps. Officials note that while the release of hostages is a critical test, ongoing verification and international involvement are meant to prevent a relapse into wider hostilities.Across the Atlantic, international voices continue to weigh in on how the ceasefire will be reinforced and how the broader security situation in the region can be stabilized. In London, tens of thousands of pro‑Palestinian protesters voiced skepticism about the pace and scope of the ceasefire, even as they acknowledged the unusual moment of reduced violence. In regional capitals, leaders have urged restraint and emphasized the importance of keeping channels open with mediators to prevent missteps that could trigger renewed fighting.Regional dynamics remain intricate. In Lebanon, Lebanese President Michel Aoun condemned overnight Israeli strikes against civilian sites, calling the action unjustified and raising questions about potential spillover effects after the Gaza ceasefire. The rhetoric underscores how closely connected security developments in Gaza sit with Lebanon and other neighboring fronts. At the same time, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan publicly urged Israel to honor the terms of the agreement and to avoid actions that could destabilize the region.Egypt’s leadership has also weighed in on how the Gaza deal should be internationalized. President Abdel Fattah el‑Sisi said there is a need for an international endorsement of the agreement through the United Nations Security Council and for the deployment of international forces in Gaza to ensure lasting calm. Israeli officials have signaled caution about extending external validation and deployment, stressing the importance of verifiable steps and real gains on the ground for both sides.Within the United States, developments at home are part of the broader conversation. President Joe Biden, 82, is publicly described as undergoing radiation therapy and hormone treatment for an aggressive but hormone‑sensitive prostate cancer diagnosed in May. The treatment plan is being monitored as the administration maintains a steady line on the Israeli–Palestinian issue, emphasizing support for efforts aimed at securing hostages’ release and reducing civilian suffering while defending Israel’s security needs.In the defense sphere, Israel’s industrial sector continues to highlight its capabilities. Rafael’s leadership has spoken of breakthroughs in laser technology and a robust order backlog, noting that the Iron Beam laser could reshape battlefield dynamics in future conflicts. These comments come as Israel emphasizes strengthening its defense posture while pursuing military and diplomatic efforts to reduce threats in the region.Human stories continue to unfold far from the bargaining tables. The Nova Festival survivor Roy Shalev, a partner of a victim from the October 7 tragedy, has died in what family and colleagues describe as a profoundly painful moment of grief and trauma. The loss adds to the long shadow cast by the war and its aftermath, including the ongoing efforts of survivors and families to rebuild their lives. In another strand of the emotional landscape, a TV presenter in Israel mourns a Nova survivor who lost his partner, illustrating how the reverberations of the massacre continue to touch communities nationwide.In the civic sphere, Edut 710 has launched a digital database documenting civilian heroism on October 7, a project that records first‑hand accounts and preserves the testimony of those who acted in the crisis. The effort represents a broader attempt to chronicle the human dimension of the conflict as the country moves into a new phase of post‑war recovery.As this hour moves forward, observers will watch closely for the concrete steps that follow this week’s landmark agreement. The performance of the ceasefire, the pace of hostage releases, the verification of troop withdrawals, and the stability of security across Gaza and the surrounding fronts will shape how this moment is remembered and whether it becomes a durable shift toward peace through strength. This is the moment when the focus shifts from headlines to the daily acts that can sustain quiet and security in a region long accustomed to upheaval. We will continue to monitor developments and provide updates as events unfold.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINES48 Hostages Slated Free by Monday NoonUS Backed Guarantees Cement Gaza WithdrawalNova Survivor's Partner Dies by SuicideThe time is now 10:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.This is the 10:00 AM update. A ceasefire forged in Sharm el-Sheikh and brokered with the backing of the United States and regional partners remains in place as Israel and Hamas advance toward the first phase of hostage release and a staged withdrawal from Gaza. The arrangements call for the remaining 48 hostages, including some who have been held for more than two years, to be freed by midday Monday. Hamas has indicated it may require additional time to locate and recover bodies of some of those who were killed during the conflict, adding a potential wrinkle to the timeline. In exchange, Israel is to withdraw its forces in phases from parts of Gaza and, according to mediators and Israeli officials, there will be guarantees from the United States and other parties that the war will not be resumed.On the ground in Tel Aviv, the mood among families of hostages has shifted from solemn endurance to cautious optimism. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum says the broader public should participate as the community awaits the final implementation of the agreement. The square once marked by protests and somber vigils has taken on a more hopeful atmosphere as people prepare for what they hope will be the last major public gathering before a rescue operation is completed. Organizers emphasize that the mission remains unfinished until every captive is home, and they anticipate parallel rallies in Jerusalem, Sha’ar HaNegev, and Karmei Gat to keep momentum and attention focused on the process.In Washington, the US political apparatus remains engaged with the ceasefire’s operation. Steve Witkoff, the US Middle East envoy, accompanied by the commander of the US Central Command, Admiral Bradley Copper, toured an IDF post in Gaza to verify Israel’s withdrawal as part of the negotiated terms. Officials say the visit was intended to reassure both sides that the withdrawal is progressing in line with the agreement and to coordinate the next steps for hostages’ release and the stabilization phase that follows a potential lull in fighting.Beyond the ceasefire, a wider regional picture continues to unfold. Turkish President Erdogan has urged Israel to honor its commitments while calling for a broader regional approach to security, arguing that actions in the coming days will influence stability across the neighborhood. In Cairo, President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has signaled that a wider international endorsement of the Gaza accord, potentially through a United Nations Security Council mandate, could help anchor a longer-term stabilization effort. At the same time, Sisi cautions against premature conclusions or moves that could widen the conflict, stressing the need for international deployment and verification.Analysts note that Iran’s regional proxies remain a factor in the period ahead. While some observers assess that Tehran’s networks have faced increasing pressure and disruption, Iranian-aligned groups are still active, with ongoing efforts to influence events across the Levant and in neighboring corridors. The balance of influence in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria, where Iranian-backed factions operate, will shape both the pace of any further disengagement and the shape of future security arrangements in the region.In the broader security arena, NATO and allied air operations near Russia’s borders have continued to adapt to shifting threats. A recent 12-hour mission conducted with significant involvement from British and American forces, and supported by NATO partners, underscores a steady posture aimed at deterring aggressive actions and signaling unity among Western allies. While not directly tied to the Gaza arrangement, such activity reflects a wider context in which the United States and its partners are balancing commitments across multiple theaters.Israel continues to emphasize its security needs as a central driver of the ceasefire. The Defense Ministry and security establishment stress that the threat from Hamas and other hostile elements remains real, citing rocket and border activity in past months as well as the risk of miscalculation or a relapse into broader hostilities if timelines slip. In parallel, the Israeli defense industry is highlighting advances in technology that could redefine battlefield dynamics. Rafael’s leadership notes a strong order backlog and profits driven by a growing portfolio of defense systems, including advanced laser technologies that aim to increase precision and reduce risk for Israeli forces in future operations. The emphasis remains on keeping Israeli citizens safe while pursuing a sustainable path to regional stability.Meanwhile, the day’s human stories continue to illuminate the war’s toll. A Nova Festival survivor, whose life intersected with a family tragedy years earlier, faced a personal loss as Roy Shalev, the partner of a survivor and a prominent voice from the community, died in what relatives describe as a suicide linked to the long shadow of the October 7 attacks. In addition to the emotional weight carried by families of those abducted, another anniversary resonates in the region: 25 years since a painful and controversial event in Ramallah, where loyalties and accountability remain topics of intense discussion as some figures face difficult judicial and political reckonings in the wake of the hostage deal. These stories underscore how the conflict’s legacy extends into families, communities, and public life long after major combat operations pause.On the diplomatic front, remarks from various regional leaders reflect a mix of support for a ceasefire and caution about its implementation. Some officials emphasize the need for international legitimacy and verification mechanisms to prevent backsliding, while others stress the importance of ensuring that security guarantees can be maintained even as Israel retreats from active combat zones. The overarching aim, as stated by US policymakers aligned with the effort, is to pursue peace through strength—protecting Israel’s security while creating space for humanitarian relief, stabilizing Gaza, and setting the conditions for a sustainable resolution that can endure beyond the current cycle of violence.Looking ahead, all eyes will be on Monday’s timetable as hostages near release and projections for the next phase of the withdrawal are tested against the ground reality in Gaza. The international community will be watching for the precise sequencing of steps, the pace of security and humanitarian measures, and the ability of mediators to sustain political and operational momentum. For Israelis and Palestinians alike, the next 24 hours will be decisive in determining whether the momentum of yesterday’s diplomacy translates into a durable arrangement that can prevent renewed conflict and advance the prospects for long-term peace through a disciplined, security-minded approach.This is your 10:00 AM update. We will continue to monitor the situation, report on the hostage releases as they occur, and provide context on how the ceasefire’s implementation unfolds in the days ahead.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINESCeasefire Framework Sets Hostage Exchange PathRegional Diplomacy Recalibrates Iran Proxies BordersNova Music Festival Survivor Dies by SuicideThe time is now 9:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.A fragile calm continues as the first phase of the US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas holds, with both sides signaling a willingness to proceed carefully toward an arrangement that could reshape the war’s trajectory. In Sharm el-Sheikh, diplomats and security officials outlined a framework that envisions a staged exchange designed to relieve civilian suffering and open space for humanitarian relief, while preserving Israel’s ability to defend its citizens should Hamas seek to test the truce.Under the current terms, Israel has begun a drawdown in several areas of Gaza as a precondition for the broader exchange. The arrangement anticipates the release of about 20 living hostages and the retrieval of the bodies of 28 others, with Israel acknowledging that two previously unaccounted-for hostages are presumed dead. In return, Israel is set to release around 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. The deal also envisions the arrival of aid and the resumption of essential services to Gaza’s civilian population, while Western and regional observers monitor for any signs of Hamas testing the ceasefire’s durability.The fighting’s human toll remains grave. Gaza’s health authorities report numbers that underscore the scale of the catastrophe since the war began: tens of thousands killed and hundreds of thousands wounded. In parallel, the Israeli side continues to mourn and account for the fate of hostages who were taken from communities across southern Israel and the Gaza border. Families of the missing have kept pressure on leaders to secure their loved ones’ return, turning weekly vigils and protests into a sustained public campaign for accountability and relief.On the battlefield, the ceasefire’s success depends in part on regional dynamics and the posture of Iran’s proxies across the area. While the immediate focus is on Gaza and the hostage issue, observers are watching how Tehran’s network of allied groups in the region respond. From Syria to Lebanon to Gaza, the balance of power remains fluid, with states and nonstate actors recalibrating after years of intense confrontation. In the broader frame, the administration in Washington has underscored a policy that leans on alignment with Israel to deter violent actors and press for a peace through strength, a stance that has guided the diplomatic push for a sustainable pause in hostilities.In neighboring Lebanon and along the Syrian border, the latest developments emphasize regional recalibration. Syria’s foreign minister visited Beirut in a bid to reset relations after years of strain, signaling a push to move issues such as border security, detainees, and the fate of refugees into official diplomatic channels. The talks focused on demarcation and security coordination, including the creation of joint mechanisms to address outstanding questions. The visit reflects a broader regional effort to stabilize frontlines and reduce the potential for spillover into an already tense security environment, even as Hezbollah and other actors continue to shape the security calculus along the border.Aid groups are preparing for a potentially more accessible Gaza, but with caution. International agencies say the truce could allow life-saving aid deliveries to reach starving civilians, yet they remain wary of possible restrictions and logistical hurdles tied to the political and security framework surrounding the agreement. The humanitarian task remains urgent, with displaced families and residents in Gaza hoping for reliable access to food, medical aid, and basic services as the ceasefire proceeds.Domestically, the war’s emotional and psychological toll reverberates through Israeli society. Two years after the Nova music festival massacre, survivor Roei Shalev died by suicide, a tragedy that highlights the enduring trauma endured by survivors and bereaved families. Shalev’s death, like those of his partner and mother who died in the same attack’s aftermath, underscores the ongoing mental health challenges faced by communities directly touched by the October 7, 2023 massacre. The Nova Community Association described him as a pillar of the Nova tribe, and his loss renews calls for sustained mental health support for survivors, families, and first responders who bore the brunt of the violence.Amid the immediate crisis, the human stories continue to unfold in public view. The post-attack landscape includes a dedicated effort by families and advocates to keep the focus on hostages still missing and the many civilians and soldiers who went missing or were killed. Community leaders, activists, and public figures have pressed for continued accountability and peaceful resolution, even as the security apparatus maintains vigilance against any re-escalation.Beyond the immediate conflict, cultural and social developments persist. In a different vein, the Israeli Shuai Jiao Association, founded in 2023 by Josef Levitis, has joined the European federation, illustrating ongoing engagement with international sports and cultural exchange even as security concerns dominate headlines. In another note on the wider world, a major exhibition in Venice traces centuries of Jewish life in Italy, offering a long view of diaspora history and cultural resilience that sits in contrast to today’s urgent security and humanitarian issues.Looking forward, the question remains how the ceasefire, hostage release, and prisoner exchanges will unfold in the days ahead. Israeli officials have stressed the imperative of maintaining security and the ability to retaliate if Hamas breaks the truce, while the United States and its allies emphasize the importance of preventing a relapse into full-scale fighting and ensuring humanitarian access to civilians in Gaza. The path to peace, in the view of many observers, depends on credible enforcement, clear incentives for compliance, and sustained international support for relief and reconstruction in Gaza, paired with a robust and vigilant security posture from Israel.For families who have waited years for news of loved ones, for survivors seeking mental health support, and for a region seeking stability after a prolonged and devastating war, the coming days will test the seriousness of the commitments announced in Sharm el-Sheikh. As the ceasefire operates, the public will be watching closely to see if this moment marks a durable pause in a conflict that has drawn in neighboring states, fractured communities, and reshaped the regional security landscape. The hour demands vigilance, empathy, and a steady commitment to the hard work of peace through strength.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
