HEADLINESConflict Escalates as Israel Strikes Hezbollah Strongholds US Lawmakers Demand Clarity on Military Involvement Humanitarian Crisis Deepens Amid Ongoing AirstrikesThe time is now 05:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.As dawn breaks over the region, tensions remain heightened amidst Israel's multifaceted conflict with Iran and its proxies, spanning multiple fronts. In southern Lebanon, reports indicate that the Israel Defense Forces have partially destroyed over 30 towns and villages, demolishing approximately 4,000 houses. These areas, within a three-kilometer radius of the Israeli border, served as operational bases for Hezbollah, including launching sites for rocket fire aimed at Israel. Local Israeli officials have expressed satisfaction with these developments, viewing the depopulation of these villages as a necessary step towards security and the restoration of their communities.Meanwhile, in the West Bank, a coordinated operation by the IDF and Shin Bet has led to the arrest of over 60 members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). The crackdown reflects ongoing efforts to dismantle terrorist infrastructure and prevent planned attacks against Israeli targets. Concurrently, violence continues in Gaza, where reports suggest that around 20 individuals were killed in an airstrike on the al-Rajiah family home in Beit Lahia. The humanitarian crisis in the area is exacerbated by shortages of burial supplies, forcing families to use blankets for the deceased.On the international stage, US lawmakers are raising alarms regarding the involvement of American troops in Israel's military operations. A group of progressive representatives has called upon President Biden to clarify the legal basis for US military engagement, asserting that congressional approval is necessary for any military action. This plea underscores growing concerns about escalating American involvement in what could become a protracted regional conflict.In Iraq, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani has urged Israel to refrain from strikes on Iraqi soil, promising that the Iraqi government will not permit Iranian attacks against Israel from its territory. This delicate balance reflects the intricate web of alliances and hostilities that characterize the region.The situation remains fluid across various fronts, with humanitarian implications deepening as the conflict continues to unfold. While military operations intensify, the calls for accountability and legislative oversight in US involvement reflect a broader desire for a reassessment of foreign policy in a tumultuous geopolitical landscape. As the conflict progresses, the ramifications are felt not just locally, but globally, prompting discussions about military strategy, humanitarian obligations, and the potential for diplomatic resolutions. The coming hours will likely usher in further developments, as all parties navigate the complexities of an increasingly volatile situation.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
