 HEADLINES1. US Embassy Staffers Shot Dead Outside Jewish Museum2. Gaza's Hospitals Nearly Destroyed Amid Humanitarian Catastrophe3. Israel Faces Escalating Threats Along Borders and InsideThe time is now 08:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.At 8 p.m., the international community continues to grapple with the escalating conflict across multiple fronts involving Israel and its adversaries. In Washington, tragedy struck when two Israeli embassy staffers, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, were shot dead outside the Capital Jewish Museum. Lischinsky, 30, a researcher at the Israeli embassy in Washington since 2022, was engaged to be married to Milgrim, a 26-year-old public diplomacy officer. The couple was preparing to fly to Jerusalem next week for their wedding, with Lischinsky having bought a ring and planned to meet his family. Their deaths have sparked widespread condemnation and renewed focus on rising anti-Semitism in the United States, as the suspect, Elias Rodriguez, shouted "Free Palestine" during his arrest, claiming he acted for Gaza.Meanwhile, on the ground in the Middle East, Israel faces threats from multiple directions. In southern Lebanon, residents near the border report hearing loud explosions and observing increased military activity, amid threats from Lebanese factions promising to celebrate the liberation day by heading south, calling Israel a "failed army." In the West Bank, violence escalated as settlers reportedly set fire to five homes and five vehicles in the village of Bruchin, with eight individuals suffering burn injuries. Tensions continue to simmer along the northern border, with reports of explosions suggesting recent attacks on southern Lebanon's villages.In Gaza, the humanitarian crisis deepens. The World Health Organization has described the destruction as "systematic," with over 94% of Gaza's hospitals damaged or destroyed amid ongoing Israeli military operations. Only 19 of 36 hospitals remain functional, and shortages of food, water, fuel, and medical supplies threaten millions. WHO officials emphasize that a political solution remains essential for peace, warning that Gaza's health system risks collapse if the fighting continues unchecked.In Washington, the investigation into the deadly shooting outside the Jewish museum has led to charges against Elias Rodriguez, who allegedly declared he acted "for Gaza." The attack is being investigated as an act of terrorism and a hate crime, amid rising international tensions and accusations from Israeli officials blaming European leaders for inciting anti-Semitic violence. President Donald Trump has characterized the attack as clearly anti-Semitic, echoing concerns over a surge in anti-Jewish sentiment linked to the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.In Israel, political developments unfold amid the backdrop of ongoing hostilities. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appointed Major-General David Zini as the new head of Shin Bet, despite a High Court ruling that his predecessor, Ronen Bar, was unlawfully dismissed due to conflicts of interest related to the "Qatargate" affair. Concurrently, Israeli efforts to negotiate a ceasefire with Hamas are at an impasse, with reports indicating that the delegation was recalled from Qatar due to a lack of progress. Hamas demands an American guarantee that the war will conclude entirely, leaving Gaza under Palestinian control, a condition Israel and its allies find unacceptable.As the conflict persists, the toll on civilians and security forces remains profound. In southern Israel, reports of military strikes continue, while in the United States, concerns over anti-Semitic violence and the safety of Jewish communities intensify. The coming hours will be critical as diplomatic and military actions unfold, shaping the trajectory of this complex and devastating conflict.
