 HEADLINES1. Israel Battles Multi-Front Offensive Amid Rising Tensions2. US Boosts Support as Israel Faces Escalating Regional War3. Trump Falsely Links Congo Massacre to South AfricaThe time is now 06:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.Tonight's top story: Israel remains under attack on multiple fronts as its military engages in a complex and intense conflict spanning seven key areas. In the north, Israeli forces continue their operations against Hezbollah and other militant groups in southern Lebanon, with recent reports indicating ongoing artillery exchanges and drone activity. Meanwhile, in Syria, Israeli aircraft have conducted targeted strikes against Iranian-backed positions, aiming to prevent the transfer of advanced weaponry to hostile groups.In the west, the Gaza Strip remains volatile, with near-continuous exchanges of fire between Israeli forces and Hamas militants. Israeli military sources report significant damage to Hamas infrastructure, while Palestinian sources confirm casualties on both sides. The Israeli government emphasizes its efforts to degrade terrorist capabilities while ensuring civilian safety, though the conflict's humanitarian toll continues to rise.Across the West Bank, Israeli troops have intensified patrols and operations following recent terrorist attacks, including a shooting incident that resulted in the death of a civilian. Palestinian authorities report increased clashes and arrests, as tensions remain high in the region.Lebanon's southern border is also tense, with reports of Israeli airstrikes targeting Hezbollah positions in response to rocket fire. The Lebanese army has called for calm, but violence persists amid fears of escalation.In Iraq, Israeli intelligence suggests Iran-backed militia activity has increased along the border, with several attempted infiltrations thwarted by local forces. The Israeli Defense Forces monitor these developments closely, concerned about potential spillover.Further south, in Yemen, Houthi forces have launched missile and drone attacks toward southern Saudi Arabia, as part of the ongoing Yemen conflict. The international community continues to call for de-escalation, but hostilities persist.Internationally, the United States and European nations have expressed concern over the mounting violence, urging all parties to exercise restraint and pursue diplomatic solutions. The US has increased its military support for Israel, including deploying additional missile defense systems and intelligence assets.Domestically, Israeli society faces heightened security alerts and a surge in military mobilization. The government remains committed to its defensive posture, emphasizing that these measures are necessary to protect Israeli citizens from ongoing threats.In the broader context, the escalation reflects Iran's strategic backing of proxy groups across the region, aiming to challenge Israeli and Western interests. The multi-front conflict underscores the fragile stability of the region and the potential for wider regional involvement.Meanwhile, in Washington, the US Justice Department announced plans to intensify efforts to combat antisemitism on university campuses following the recent murders of Israeli embassy staff in the US capital. Senior officials vow to pursue legal actions against institutions failing to protect Jewish students and staff, including possible lawsuits and policy changes to curb hate crimes.In Israel, a controversial decision has been made regarding the appointment of the next head of the Shin Bet security agency. Prime Minister Netanyahu announced the selection of Major General David Zini, defying the attorney general's guidance and sparking mass protests in Tel Aviv. Thousands gathered in Rabin Square, voicing opposition to what they see as an erosion of democratic norms and the politicization of security institutions.On the security front, Israeli police have arrested a suspect at Ben-Gurion Airport for attempting to smuggle 1.8 kilograms of gold worth approximately 1.5 million NIS, concealed in a vest. The suspect, a resident of Jerusalem, was released under restrictions as investigations continue.In Yemen, explosions in Sanaa have been attributed to failed missile launches by Houthi forces, causing panic among residents. The Yemeni government reports that the incidents resulted from technical failures, but tensions remain high.Lastly, in a controversial and widely debated incident, US President Donald Trump falsely claimed that Reuters footage from Congo showed mass killings of white South Africans. The image was actually from a mass burial following an M23 rebel attack in Goma, not South Africa.
