Israel-Hamas Conflict: Two Suspects in Attack on Activist Detained, Court Proceedings Underway
United Nations Tribute to Iran's Raisi Sparks Controversy Amid Allegations of Involvement in Iranian Deaths
Israel's Efforts Against Hamas: Only 30-35% of Terrorists Eliminated, 65% of Tunnels Still Intact
The time is now 01:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In the latest developments in the Israel-Hamas conflict, two suspects involved in the attack on Gadi Kadmi, a prominent activist, were brought before the Tel Aviv District Court for an extension of their detention. This comes after one of the suspects, Uri Harush, was released by the Tel Aviv Peace Court following a police appeal. Additionally, another suspect was arrested later in the day, with authorities seeking to extend both suspects' detention. The individuals are accused of attacking Kadmi and setting him on fire while he lay on the road.
Moving on to international news, the United Nations has lowered its flag to half-staff in honor of Iran's Raisi, who died in a helicopter crash. The tribute has sparked controversy, with an Israeli diplomat denouncing the gesture as a disgrace, given Raisi's alleged involvement in the deaths of thousands of Iranians.
In a report by Politico, it is revealed that Israel has eliminated only 30-35% of Hamas terrorists present before the October 7 attack, with 65% of Hamas's tunnels still intact. This information highlights the ongoing challenges in combating Hamas's infrastructure and operatives.
Shifting focus to domestic incidents, a 40-year-old man sustained moderate injuries after being hit by a truck in Bnei Brak. Medical responders provided treatment before transferring him to the hospital for further care.
Furthermore, an IDF soldier was seriously wounded during an encounter with terrorists in the northern Gaza Strip. The soldier was promptly evacuated for medical attention, emphasizing the risks faced by Israeli forces in the conflict zone.
Regarding weather forecasts, a slight increase in temperatures is expected today, with conditions slightly warmer than usual for the season.
In a separate story, former US President Donald Trump faced criticism for a video posted on his Truth Social account that referenced a "unified Reich," a term associated with Nazi Germany. President Joe Biden condemned the language used in the video, likening it to Hitler's Germany, while Trump subsequently removed the post and attributed it to an external source.
Moreover, the US government has expressed initial satisfaction with Israel's updated military plans for an offensive in Rafah. While the US had previously opposed a major offensive due to humanitarian concerns, recent targeted operations in Rafah have been cautiously approved by the Biden administration. These developments aim to address the evolving situation in the conflict zone and potentially revive negotiations for a hostage deal.
The US is also engaged in diplomatic efforts with Saudi Arabia, focusing on a broader agreement that includes civil nuclear cooperation and security measures. However, the success of these agreements hinges on progress towards a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians.
As the conflict continues to unfold, the US remains actively involved in facilitating negotiations, managing regional tensions, and promoting humanitarian aid to address the escalating crisis in the region.
