HEADLINESIntensified Israeli Strikes Target Hezbollah and Hamas Political Turbulence Erupts Amid Ongoing Conflict Trump Gains Momentum as Israel Conflict EscalatesThe 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 early hours of this Wednesday morning, significant developments are emerging in the ongoing multi-front conflict involving Israel, Iran, and its regional proxies, alongside domestic political shifts that could have lasting implications.Military Operations:The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have intensified their military operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza. Recent airstrikes conducted by the Israeli Air Force (IAF) targeted around 70 different sites associated with these groups, with a particular focus on eliminating key personnel and infrastructure. Notably, Hussain Abd Al-Haleem Harb, a commander of Hezbollah in the Khiam region, was killed, marking a critical blow to the group's operational capabilities. In Gaza, IDF forces have reported the elimination of several terrorists during ongoing operations, including an armed individual who emerged from a tunnel, alongside the discovery of a significant cache of weapons.International and Domestic Political Context:On the international front, the ongoing conflict has implications for the upcoming US elections. Former President Donald Trump is reportedly on track for a significant victory, garnering support in key battleground states. This election cycle has seen the Republican Jewish Coalition investing heavily in outreach to American Jews, hoping to capitalize on dissatisfaction with the Democratic administration's policies toward Israel. Early exit polls indicate a notable divide in Jewish voter sentiment, with 79% supporting Vice President Kamala Harris compared to 21% backing Trump, although expectations remain high for Republican gains in battleground states.Domestically, the political landscape in Israel is shifting. Following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's controversial dismissal of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, a coalition of opposition leaders, including Yair Lapid and Benny Gantz, is set to make a joint statement, denouncing the move and potentially signaling a new phase of political turbulence. This dismissal has sparked reactions across the political spectrum, with Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich expressing support for the prime minister while refraining from commenting directly on Gallant's removal. Regional Developments:The conflict's regional dimensions are also noteworthy. Ongoing tensions in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen contribute to a volatile security environment, with Iran's influence being a constant factor in the actions of its proxies. As the Israeli military continues to confront threats from multiple fronts, including missile attacks and the potential for escalated conflict, the strategic calculations on both sides remain critical.As the situation unfolds, the implications for Israeli security and regional stability continue to be profound, with potential shifts in both domestic leadership and international relations on the horizon. Observers will be closely watching the upcoming statements from opposition leaders and the ongoing military operations as the hours progress.
