Iranian Proxies Intensify Threats in Israel's North
Gaza Airstrikes Escalate Amid Humanitarian Concerns
International Scrutiny Grows Over Israel's Military Actions

The time is now 07:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

Israel is navigating a tense landscape as its confrontation with Iranian proxies intensifies across multiple fronts. The Israeli military has classified its ongoing engagement with the Houthi rebels as a "campaign," particularly following significant setbacks for Hezbollah and the Assad regime in Syria. The Houthis are now recognized as the primary Iranian proxy actively threatening Israeli security, prompting Israel to ramp up military operations against them.

In Gaza, reports indicate that the Israel Defense Forces have conducted airstrikes in Rafah, a city in the southern part of the territory. Meanwhile, in the West Bank, there is heightened military activity, particularly in Jenin, signaling a potential escalation in operations against local militant groups. Residents in Gush Dan have been placed on alert due to credible threats of terrorist activity, with security forces increasing their presence and readiness across the area.

On the northern front, heavy aircraft activity has been reported over Western Galilee, raising concerns about potential escalations with Hezbollah, which has been increasingly active. The Israeli military is on high alert, preparing for possible retaliatory attacks from Lebanon as tensions escalate.

Internationally, the humanitarian situation in Gaza has attracted significant concern, with Norway's Prime Minister expressing grave worries about the humanitarian crisis, urging Israel to adhere to its international obligations. This highlights the growing global scrutiny on Israel's military actions and their humanitarian implications.

In Yemen, the situation is equally complex. A UN humanitarian official refuted Israeli claims that a recent airstrike targeted military infrastructure at Sanaa airport. He emphasized that the airport serves civilian purposes, including humanitarian aid operations. This incident underscores the delicate balance between military objectives and the urgent humanitarian needs of the Yemeni population, which is facing one of the world's most dire crises.

Domestically, Israel is grappling with other pressing issues. A fire in Yavne caused injuries to several individuals, with one woman in serious condition after inhaling smoke. Additionally, a violent incident in Tel Aviv has left a man critically injured, prompting discussions about public safety and violence in urban areas.

As these developments unfold, the Israeli government continues to navigate internal pressures and external threats, balancing security needs with humanitarian responsibilities, all while maintaining vigilance against the backdrop of an increasingly volatile regional landscape.
