    Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - Update from 2026-06-05 at 22:01

    HEADLINES Iran Uses US Hesitation to Strengthen Leverage US Strikes Iran Radar Sites After Drones Gas Prices Drop If Hormuz Flows Restored The time is now 10:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report. In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Israeli defense officials say Tehran is using Washington’s reluctance to resume military action to improve its negotiating position. They report that Israel’s defense establishment is closely watching Iran’s enriched uranium program, internal power struggles in Tehran, and the declining likelihood of a joint military operation with the United States. The officials say Tehran believes Washington is reluctant to strike before or during major events in the United States, including the 2026 World Cup and the July 4 Independence Day celebrations, and that this perception is being used by Iran to strengthen its stance in negotiations. President Trump remains focused on avoiding renewed fighting while seeking an understanding on Iran’s nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz, even as tensions flare between rival factions in Tehran over how long a ceasefire should last and how to proceed. In Iranian Retaliation, President Trump said Iran’s military has been “totally destroyed” and that Tehran now possesses around 21% of its missile capacity after recent strikes. He asserted that US observers know “almost to the number” how many missiles and drones Iran still holds, while declining to reveal an exact figure. He said most drone factories and missile manufacturing sites have been knocked out, and that Iran still has missiles and drones, albeit at a fraction of their former capacity. He suggested delays in any potential peace deal are a result of Iranian leadership being “proud” and resistant to concessions. In US Military Role, US forces struck Iranian coastal radar sites after Iran launched drones targeting the Strait of Hormuz, marking another escalation as Washington and Tehran pursue indirect talks to halt the three-month war. The US military says four Iranian drones were directed at regional maritime traffic, and US Central Command said it hit Iran’s surveillance sites on Goruk and Qeshm Island along the Strait. Negotiations for an interim halt to fighting would leave broader questions about Iran’s nuclear program to later discussions, with Tehran seeking access to billions in oil revenue, sanctions relief, port concessions, and leverage over the strait. In Regional Impacts, officials say the path to lower gasoline prices hinges on restoring oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, a point stressed by US Energy Secretary Chris Wright during remarks at a Santa Barbara facility. Wright tied price relief to getting more oil moving and criticized California environmental policies for driving costs higher, calling for regulatory rollbacks to aid consumers as the administration seeks ways to ease prices while maintaining refinery operations. The regional security picture remains volatile: the House of Representatives rejected a Democratic-led Lebanon War Powers resolution, 324 to 92, with 91 Democrats voting in favor, while leadership stressed that no US troops are in combat in Lebanon. In the wider Persian Gulf, Patriot batteries have fired to intercept Iranian ballistic missiles over Bahrain as multiple interceptions were observed in recent minutes, and air raid sirens have continued to sound across Kuwait with Kuwaiti air defenses responding to a hostile missile and drone attack attributed to Iran. In the West Bank, three Palestinian civilians were injured during IDF operations near Hebron after a vehicle was misperceived as accelerating toward soldiers; they were evacuated for medical treatment and the incident is under review. In Uplifting News, a Mississippi town is buzzing over a mezuzah ceremony conducted by its newly installed police chief, the first Jewish chief in the state’s history, in Ocean Springs. The mezuzah ceremony drew a crowd and highlighted a community’s moment of unity amid its Catholic-Protestant divides. In New York, the Israel Day Parade drew attention for its theme, Proud Americans, Proud Zionists, and for its high-security presence as the city prepared to mark the event in a climate of rising antisemitism. The coverage underscored how the Jewish community in the diaspora remains resilient and engaged, even as security measures reflect ongoing concerns.

    Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - Update from 2026-06-05 at 21:01

    HEADLINES 1) US Strikes Iranian Radar After Drone Assault 2) Hebron seven month old killed by troops 3) Parade Security Reflects Rising Antisemitism and Resolve The time is now 9:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report. In US Military Role, US forces struck Iranian coastal radar sites after shooting down four drones launched toward the Strait of Hormuz, the US military said. CENTCOM confirmed the four drones were one-way attack drones and posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic. In retaliation and to deter further launches, US forces hit Iranian surveillance sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island along the Strait of Hormuz. The actions come as Washington and Tehran continue indirect talks aimed at ending the three‑month war, with Tehran seeking access to oil revenue, sanctions relief, and leverage over the strait. In Regional Impacts, three Palestinians were injured during IDF operations in the Hebron area of the West Bank after soldiers fired toward a vehicle they say accelerated toward them; the Palestinians were uninvolved civilians and were evacuated for medical treatment. The incident is under review. Separately in Hebron, Israeli troops fired on a vehicle, killing a seven-month-old baby and lightly wounding the baby's parents; the army expressed deep sorrow and said the incident would be investigated. The Palestinian Authority identified the infant as Sam Fahd Abou Haikal, and the army noted an initial inquiry found those injured were uninvolved civilians. In Uplifting News, What New York's Israel Day Parade says about the future of American Jewry - opinion examines the annual parade on Fifth Avenue, noting an unprecedented level of police security and a security-focused environment. The piece describes the event under tight protection as a reflection of rising antisemitism and the community’s resolve, with the parade theme “Proud Americans, Proud Zionists” highlighted against a backdrop of high-threat security measures and tactical planning by police.

    Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - Update from 2026-06-05 at 20:01

    HEADLINES Four Iranian drones downed, radar sites struck Hebron seven-month-old baby killed by IDF Haredi riots target Jerusalem police station The time is now 8:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report. In US Military Role, US Central Command has confirmed that forces earlier tonight shot down a total of four Iranian one-way attack drones that were launched toward the Strait of Hormuz, which CENTCOM states, “posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic.” In retaliation and to deter further launches, US forces struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island. In Regional Impacts, three Palestinians were injured during IDF operations in the area of Hebron in the West Bank earlier on Friday after soldiers mistook a vehicle as having accelerated toward them. The Palestinians were identified as uninvolved civilians and were evacuated for medical treatment. The IDF stated that the incident is under review and expressed sorrow for the harm caused to innocent individuals. Separately in Tel Rumeida, Hebron, Israeli troops opened fire at a vehicle, killing a seven-month-old baby and lightly wounding his parents. The army said it perceived a vehicle accelerating toward them; an initial inquiry found those injured were uninvolved civilians, and the findings will be submitted for review. The army expressed deep sorrow for harm caused to uninvolved individuals. In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, The Mossad’s secret bear: How a Kurdish rebel gift became an Israeli mystery recounts that in the 1970s Israeli agents and IDF officers helped Kurdish rebels in Iraq; as a gesture of thanks, Kurdish leader Mullah Mustafa Barzani gave them a Syrian bear cub named Shamo, launching a covert journey from Kurdistan to the Tel Aviv zoo. In US Policy Concerning Israel, Is the historic alliance between American Jewry and Israel in crisis? - opinion notes that the alliance has long been a pillar of Israel’s diplomatic, security, and strategic strength, with American Jews as partners in shaping public opinion and serving as a bridge to the United States. But since recent years, and especially since the events of October 7, questions have emerged about whether that alliance remains intact amid campus demonstrations, calls for boycotts, and ongoing debates about the balance of criticism and the state’s right to exist. Trump, campaigning for Republicans in Wisconsin, vows quick end to Iran war. The president told voters in Chippewa Falls that progress in negotiations could come soon and pledged to end the Iran conflict quickly, arguing that doing so would bring relief at the pump and on fertilizer prices, as Republicans seek to hold control of Congress amid economic concerns. In Israeli Domestic Politics, Hundreds of Haredi rioters try to break into Jerusalem police station, attack cops in Beit Shemesh. Riots on Friday night, following arrests of draft dodgers and after attacks on the home of a senior judge, saw rioters attempt to approach the Jerusalem Russian Compound police station and throw projectiles in Beit Shemesh, where officers used force to disperse them. Border Police units assisted as law enforcement worked to quell the disturbances, with injuries reported among participants and bystanders as the Sabbath began and protests continued through the night. In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, What New York's Israel Day Parade says about the future of American Jewry - opinion notes that New York’s Israel Day Parade carried unprecedented police security as antisemitism rises, with the theme “Proud Americans, Proud Zionists” framed to project resilience. The security for the May 31 parade reflected a broader concern about safety for Jewish communities amid a climate many observers describe as increasingly hostile.

    Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - Update from 2026-06-05 at 19:01

    HEADLINES Area 51 Sighting Fuels F-47 Frenzy Tel Rumeida Baby Killed by Gunfire Draft Arrests Spur Ultra-Orthodox Jerusalem Protests The time is now 7:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report. In US Military Role, video footage posted recently by the YouTube channel Project Fear, filmed near Area 51 at the Nevada Test and Training Range, appears to have captured a new sixth-generation fighter aircraft, possibly the US Air Force’s Next Generation Air Dominance, known more commonly as the Boeing F-47. The account attributes the sighting to footage circulated by Project Fear. In Regional Impacts, three Palestinians were injured during IDF operations in the Hebron area of the West Bank after soldiers said a vehicle accelerated toward them; the three Palestinians inside the car were identified as uninvolved civilians and were evacuated for medical treatment, and the IDF said the incident is under review and expressed sorrow for the harm caused to innocent individuals. In Tel Rumeida, a seven-month-old Palestinian baby, Sam Fahd Abu Haikal, was killed and his parents were wounded by Israeli gunfire in the area south of Hebron, according to the Palestinian health ministry; the grandmother described the family stopping near Checkpoint 17 after seeing Israeli military vehicles and soldiers in the distance, shots were fired toward them, and the infant was killed at the scene while the mother was hospitalized and the father was in moderate condition. The Israeli military said that during operational activity in the Hebron area, soldiers perceived a vehicle accelerating toward them and fired; an initial military inquiry was reported to be underway. Explosions and air defense activity were reported within the last hour from Iran’s Kharg Island in the Northern Persian Gulf. In US Policy Concerning Israel, the opinion piece asks whether the historic alliance between American Jewry and Israel is in crisis, noting that for decades the relationship has been a pillar of Israel’s diplomatic, security, and strategic strength, with American Jews serving as significant supporters and advocates; the article argues that the question now is whether both sides still see themselves as part of the same historical story, given rising campus debates, antisemitic attitudes, and calls for boycott amid disagreements. In a separate report, President Donald Trump, campaigning in Wisconsin, vowed to end the Iran war quickly and to reduce high prices, saying progress in negotiations could come soon and urging voters to energize for midterm elections as he framed a swift resolution to the conflict and its economic impacts. In Israeli Domestic Politics, hundreds of ultra-Orthodox protesters rioted in Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh during demonstrations Friday night against the arrest of draft dodgers, with rioters repeatedly trying to approach the Russian Compound police station in Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh police reporting stone-throwing and force used to disperse crowds; law enforcement, including Border Police, remained deployed late into the night as officers worked to restore order, with reports of injuries including a secular Israeli being injured. In a separate incident, a secular man passing by the protest outside the Lev HaBira Police Station in Jerusalem was pushed to the ground and suffered a head wound as rioters demonstrated over arrests tied to the earlier unrest surrounding Justice Noam Sohlberg’s home, with dozens of rioters arrested in connection to the events. In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, What New York's Israel Day Parade says about the future of American Jewry – opinion discusses how New York’s Israel Day Parade, long a showcase of Jewish pride, has become a highly secured event on Fifth Avenue, reflecting a rise in antisemitism and the need for heightened security; the piece notes the parade's theme “Proud Americans, Proud Zionists” as a statement of resilience amid broader tensions, while observing that the security posture for the event has grown into a high-threat, tactical effort.

    Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - Update from 2026-06-05 at 18:01

    HEADLINES Possible F-47 sixth-gen fighter spotted IDF Hebron operation injures uninvolved civilians Iran seeks $24B, warns of wider war The time is now 6:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report. In US Military Role, video footage posted recently by the YouTube channel Project Fear, filmed near Area 51 at the Nevada Test and Training Range, appears to have captured a new sixth-generation fighter aircraft, possibly the US Air Force’s Next Generation Air Dominance, known more commonly as the Boeing F-47. In Regional Impacts, three Palestinians were injured during IDF operations in the Hebron area of the West Bank after soldiers mistook a vehicle for accelerating toward them; the Palestinians were identified as uninvolved civilians and were evacuated for medical treatment, and the IDF said the incident is under review and expressed sorrow for harm to innocent individuals. Explosions and air defense activity were reported within the last hour from Iran’s Kharg Island in the Northern Persian Gulf. An opinion piece discusses the cost of leaving the Palestinian issue unresolved after October 7, arguing there are two ways to view the attacks: one that mollifying the Palestinians may be unlikely and another that the Palestinian issue cannot be ignored, noting broad Palestinian support in some quarters. Israeli journalist Barak Ravid appeared on Lebanon’s LBCI TV to discuss his interview with a senior Lebanese official, saying the discussion could help Israelis and Lebanese understand each other better and that such exchanges could reduce demonization, though Lebanon still enforces a law criminalizing interactions with Israel. In US Policy Concerning Israel, an opinion asks whether the historic alliance between American Jewry and Israel is in crisis, noting that while the alliance has been a pillar of support, recent years have seen disruptions on campuses and shifts in public opinion after October 7. Reports say the US-Iran negotiations are approaching a critical stage as Tehran demands billions and warns of a wider war, with references to discussions by Witkoff and Kushner on an implementation plan as the US denies Iran fired warning shots near Navy ships. Iran’s negotiations stance is echoed by a CNN report in which a senior Iranian official describes an impasse and calls for the release of $24 billion in frozen assets, warning that failure to resolve the matter could widen conflict and that Iran could respond beyond the Persian Gulf, potentially signaling broader military options. In Israeli Domestic Politics, a secular man was attacked by a group of haredi protesters outside a Jerusalem police station after rioters were arrested at the home of Supreme Court Deputy President Noam Sohlberg; the man was pushed to the ground and suffered a head wound. A separate note from Netzah Yehuda, a group that works with ultra-Orthodox soldiers, says arrests of yeshiva students threaten enlistment and calls for focusing draft efforts on those not enrolled in a yeshiva rather than penalizing those committed to Torah study, arguing that arrests could deter young haredi men considering military service. In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, What New York’s Israel Day Parade says about the future of American Jewry examines heightened security along Fifth Avenue, with the parade theme “Proud Americans, Proud Zionists” reflecting resilience amid rising antisemitism and a shift toward policing the event as a high-threat operation.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, a secular man was attacked by a group of haredi protesters outside the Lev HaBira Police Station in Jerusalem, suffering a head wound as rioters arrested over the investigation into attacks on the home of Justice Noam Sohlberg reportedly attempted to breach the main entrance, with police dispersing the crowd; in Beit Shemesh, rioters were seen throwing stones at police, and more than 60 extremist haredi rioters were arrested earlier this week after property damage to Sohlberg’s home. Separately, Netzah Yehuda Organization CEO Yossi Levi urged Prime Minister Netanyahu to end the recent wave of arrests of haredi yeshiva students, arguing that focus should be on those not enrolled in a yeshiva and warning that arrests could discourage youth from enlisting, including those who might join combat service. In Uplifting News, Trump claims unnamed drug can bring people back from death, boasting success of Right To Try Act, saying a case where someone given the last rites recovered after taking the drug demonstrates its potential; he linked the claim to the Right to Try Act, which allows terminally ill patients access to experimental treatments not fully approved by the FDA, and noted that TrumpRx.gov, launched in February, now lists over 750 medications as of May 2026. Gal Gadot fans will be glad to hear that her latest film In the Hand of Dante will begin streaming on Netflix on June 24, directed by Julian Schnabel and featuring a cast that includes Oscar Isaac, Al Pacino, Martin Scorsese, and Gerard Butler; with the World Cup opening soon, Israeli viewers can watch selected matches live on KAN 11 and the Sports Channel.

    Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - Update from 2026-06-05 at 15:01

    HEADLINES - Lebanon rejects Iran's grip, claims independence - Trump: US succeeds with Iran, no nukes - Haredi groups press Netanyahu to end arrests The time is now 3:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report. In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun used a CNN interview to push back on Hezbollah and Iran, telling Christiane Amanpour that Lebanese people are not Hezbollah’s people and are fed up with a war that he called futile. He said Iran is using Lebanon for its own interests and that the regime is not trying to help Lebanon; the people are paying the price. Aoun also condemned IRGC statements tying Lebanon to a potential US-Iran ceasefire, calling that usage unacceptable and declaring, "It's not your country, it's our country." Prime Minister Nawaf Salam concurred, arguing that the Iranian regime is bringing destruction and ruin to Lebanon and noting Iran’s rejection of the recent ceasefire framework. In US Policy Concerning Israel, President Donald Trump said that the United States is having great success with Iran and that Iran is not in a position to have a nuclear weapon. In Israeli Domestic Politics, a Haredi military aid organization urged Prime Minister Netanyahu to end the wave of arrests of young Haredi yeshiva students, warning that arrests threaten Haredi enlistment and unity. Netzah Yehuda Organization chief Yossi Levi wrote to Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz that recruitment should focus on Haredim not enrolled in yeshivas, and that arrests or threats do not bring a solution and may push potential enlistees away, including those interested in combat service. Separately, dozens of Haredi protesters tried to break into a Jerusalem police station over arrests of demonstrators outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Noam Sohlberg. In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, Montreal police said a man was arrested on suspicion of attempting to commit an arson attack on Temple Emanu-El-Beth Sholom in Westmount, with minor damage and no injuries. The temple had been vandalized last year with antisemitic graffiti. Rabbi Lisa Grushcow urged proactive steps to fight antisemitism, stressing that while criticism of Israel can be legitimate, attacks or libel against the Jewish state and its supporters contribute to violence, and called on politicians and law enforcement to respond with courage and resolve.
