In Gaza, hostage recovery efforts in the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City have resumed, officials say. The two remaining deceased hostages still in Gaza are Sudthisak Rinthalak, a Thai national, and Ran Gvili, a Master Sergeant in the Israel Defense Forces. Families and officials stress that help remains needed to locate other captives and to bring closure to those awaiting news.In the West Bank, prosecutors have indicted Ariel Dahari, a Jewish settler, for a racially motivated assault on Palestinian olive harvesters near Turmus Aiya, with authorities seeking to keep him in custody until trial.Israel says it has disrupted a Turkish-led network accused of funneling weapons to Hamas in the West Bank. The operation, conducted with police, is expected to yield indictments in the coming days.Analysts continue to monitor Iran’s expanding role in arming the Houthis in Yemen. Reports describe Iran using global air routes to upgrade Houthi capabilities, moving equipment from Iran via Belarus to an Eritrean point and onward toward Yemen, with logistic links through East Africa and the Red Sea. Transshipment points in Somalia and Port Sudan are highlighted, with authorities noting increased sophistication and coordination, including potential drone and other equipment transfers. Western officials caution that such networks have grown more complex and are harder to disrupt.In Gaza, the Israeli army warns that while humanitarian aid is essential, an overabundance of food and fuel could enable Hamas to regroup and prolong the conflict, complicating efforts toward a durable peace. Relief operations are to be managed with care to avoid strengthening militant networks.Diplomatically, the United States is weighing sanctions on the Muslim Brotherhood, with President Donald Trump directing a review of branches in Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon, while excluding Turkey and Qatar from the action. The move comes as Washington weighs regional alignments and security considerations.There is also mention of a US-backed plan that would see the Palestinian Authority take control of Gaza under international support and a technocratic committee, a framework intended to stabilize the territory while addressing security and humanitarian concerns.Argentina announced it is nominating Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, to become the next United Nations secretary-general. The nomination signals regional leadership in global institutions as the selection process proceeds through Security Council consideration and General Assembly approval.In Tunisia, authorities released prominent rights advocate Sonia Dahmani after a year and a half in prison, a development viewed as significant by rights groups.In southern Lebanon, Israeli airstrikes targeted weapons caches, military positions, and launch sites south of the Litani River following the ceasefire, underscoring ongoing tensions along the border and the difficulties in restoring calm in the region.From the families of the two alive-held hostages, Ran Gvili’s father renewed calls for renewed efforts and expressed guarded optimism that a miracle could still return his son alive, even as officials acknowledge uncertainties about the location of Ran’s remains. He said he remains hopeful, though he fears the family’s ordeal could stretch on.These developments unfold as regional and international actors reassess security, humanitarian relief, and diplomacy in a landscape marked by shifting alliances, intermittent clashes, and ongoing civilian concerns amid the broader regional dynamics.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
