 HEADLINES1. Israel Degrades Iran’s Nuclear Program by Two Years2. Syria Seeks New Alliances to Challenge Turkey’s Power3. Hezbollah Defeated as Lebanon Struggles for StabilityThe time is now 07:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.At 7 p.m., the situation across the Middle East remains tense and complex. Israel continues to confront Iran directly, with recent reports indicating that Israeli strikes have significantly degraded Iran’s nuclear program, setting it back by approximately two years according to Pentagon sources. Nonetheless, the threat from Iran persists, as evidenced by ongoing missile and drone attacks from Yemen’s Houthi rebels, and the recent use of excess munitions by the Israeli Air Force in Gaza, targeting Hamas sites. In Syria, new developments suggest a potential shift in regional alliances. Reports indicate that Syria’s newly installed leadership, including President al-Sharaa, is making efforts to establish an agreement similar to the Abraham Accords, aimed at reducing Turkish influence in the region. This move could signal a significant realignment, especially as Turkey’s President Erdogan continues to challenge Israel’s legitimacy and influence.Meanwhile, the Lebanese Hezbollah has suffered severe setbacks, with Israeli Defense Forces claiming to have decimated Hezbollah’s capabilities and Lebanon actively seeking to expel the group from its territory. The fragile stability in Lebanon underscores the ongoing regional volatility.In Gaza, the hostage crisis remains a critical concern. The United States has presented a phased plan for hostage releases, with Hamas reportedly satisfied with the proposal. Under this arrangement, ten hostages and eighteen bodies would be released over sixty days in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, increased aid, and negotiations to end the conflict. US officials have assured that they will do everything possible to facilitate these negotiations.Internationally, tensions extend into diplomatic and intelligence spheres. Swiss diplomats in Tehran are reportedly concerned about a rise in mysterious deaths, highlighting the dangerous environment for foreign personnel amid Iran’s ongoing nuclear and political challenges. The US State Department has condemned Iran’s decision to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, insisting that Iran must fully cooperate without delay.Domestically in Israel, the military remains active and responsive. The IDF has issued a rare public statement defending Lieutenant General (Res.) Pnini Yitzhak, amid an investigation into a security scandal known as “KatarGait.” The IDF emphasized that Yitzhak has been in reserve service since the conflict’s onset and continues to contribute significantly.In the broader geopolitical landscape, European nations are considering purchasing additional military equipment from the United States to bolster their support for Ukraine amid ongoing conflicts. Meanwhile, in the United States, the Biden administration continues to offer assurances regarding support for Israel and efforts to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas.The ongoing global and regional developments reflect a landscape marked by strategic shifts, military actions, and diplomatic efforts aimed at managing an increasingly uncertain security environment. As always, the international community remains watchful, balancing aid, diplomacy, and military preparedness in these turbulent times.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
