 HEADLINES1. Israeli Embassy Staff Killed in U.S. Attack2. Gaza’s Hospitals on Brink Amid Humanitarian Crisis3. Lebanon Threatens Escalation as Regional Tensions RiseThe time is now 09:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.At 9:00 PM, we bring you the latest developments from the ongoing conflict and related incidents worldwide. In Washington, two Israeli embassy staff members were tragically shot and killed outside the Capital Jewish Museum. The victims, Yaron Lischinsky, a 30-year-old researcher at the Israeli embassy, and Sarah Milgrim, a 26-year-old US employee in the embassy’s public diplomacy department, were attending a networking event for young professionals. Lischinsky, who was born in Nuremburg and held dual Israeli-German nationality, was engaged to Milgrim, with plans to marry next week in Jerusalem. Their deaths have heightened international concern amid the broader Israel-Hamas conflict. The suspect, Elias Rodriguez, 30, shouted “Free Palestine” during his arrest and claimed he acted “for Gaza,” with prosecutors charging him with murder and terrorism-related offenses. The attack has drawn widespread condemnation, with Israeli officials linking the violence to rising anti-Semitism and international criticism of Israel’s military actions in Gaza. Meanwhile, in the Gaza Strip, the humanitarian crisis deepens. The World Health Organization reports that 2.1 million Gazans face imminent danger of death due to shortages of food, water, medical supplies, and fuel. Only 19 of Gaza’s 36 hospitals remain operational, with the majority severely damaged or destroyed—an ongoing cycle of destruction that hampers medical care. The WHO emphasizes the urgent need to end hostilities, release hostages, and restore the health system. Aid trucks have recently entered Gaza for the first time since Israel’s blockade began in March, but the situation remains dire.In southern Lebanon, reports indicate renewed hostilities. There have been targeted attacks on the village of Dir Anatar, with visible explosions suggesting the use of weaponized equipment. Lebanese officials and observers warn of potential escalation, as threats from across the border persist. Lebanon’s government remains divided over how to handle the heightened tensions, with some factions vowing to confront any aggression.Across the region, Israeli military sources warn of a new threat from Lebanon, where militants have issued provocative statements, promising to march into southern Israel to celebrate what they call the “Day of Liberation” on Sunday, marking 16 years since Israel withdrew from Lebanon. These threats come amid fears of further escalation in the seven-front conflict zones, which include Syria, Iraq, Iran, Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, and the West Bank.International voices also call for restraint. The head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, expressed deep concern over the escalating violence in Gaza. He urged Israel to show mercy, emphasizing that the ongoing war causes suffering on both sides and could undermine Israel’s long-term security. Tedros appealed for a political solution, warning that continued destruction and blockade will only deepen trauma and instability in the region. In the United States, the suspect in the Washington shooting has been formally charged with murder, with prosecutors investigating the incident as an act of terrorism and anti-Semitic hate crime. The attack has sparked international outrage, with Israeli officials condemning the rise of anti-Semitism worldwide, especially in the context of the Gaza conflict. US and European leaders have condemned the violence, while some Israeli officials have accused international critics of emboldening militants and inciting hatred. This evening’s updates underscore the profound human toll of the ongoing hostilities, the rising threat of regional escalation, and the urgent calls for peace amid widespread suffering. We will continue to monitor these developments and bring you the latest as they unfold.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
