 HEADLINESGaza Toll Reaches 70,000 Amid DenialsUS Approves $6.5B Israel Military SalesRoofs Over Isfahan Natanz Hide SalvageThe time is now 8:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In the Disputed Territories (Gaza, Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem), reports cited a Palestinian death toll of 70,000, but the IDF says the figure is not based on official IDF data and notes that its own casualty analysis, distinguishing terrorists from civilians, is ongoing; any publication on this matter will be released through official and orderly channels.In the conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the US Central Command urged Iran to conduct its two-day live-fire naval exercise in the Strait of Hormuz safely and professionally, while affirming Iran’s right to operate in international airspace and waters; CENTCOM warned that any action posing danger to US personnel, ships, or aircraft would not be tolerated, including unsafe overflights, low-altitude or armed overflights of US assets, high-speed boat approaches, or weapons trained at US forces. Separately, satellite imagery shows roofs built over damaged buildings at Iran’s Isfahan and Natanz facilities, apparently to obscure activity as nuclear material salvage efforts may continue; the IAEA has limited monitoring access, and the US has moved the USS Abraham Lincoln and several guided-missile destroyers into the region.In US Policy Concerning Israel, the US State Department approved more than $6.5 billion in potential military sales to Israel in three contracts, including about $1.98 billion for Joint Light Tactical Vehicles, about $3.8 billion for AH-64E Apache helicopters, and roughly $740 million for related equipment; principal contractors are AM General LLC for the JLTVs, and Boeing and Lockheed Martin for the Apache helicopters.In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, a campaign video by Jose Vega linking Ritchie Torres to “Zionist influencers and millionaires” has drawn condemnation from Jewish leaders, who say using the term “Zionist” as an insult echoes antisemitic tropes and that simply invoking the word does not erase prejudice.In Israeli Economy and Business, Teva Israel announced a supplementary recall of Nutrilon AR baby formula, batch number 2027.01.07, after Health Ministry testing found cereulide toxin levels exceeding thresholds; this follows a prior recall of 800-gram Nutrilon Phase 1; no unusual clinical symptoms have been observed in Israel thus far; testing has expanded to additional batches and Nutrilon AR in two packages with the same batch number.In Uplifting News, Deni Avdija continues to be a driving force for the Portland Trail Blazers, emerging as a leading two-way player and a strong candidate for Most Improved Player as he anchors the team’s offense. Israel will send nine athletes to the 2026 Milan-Corteina Winter Olympics, its second-largest delegation, highlighting a growing Jewish-Israeli presence, including a bobsled program led by A. J. Edelman.In Other News, former congresswoman Marjorie Green says, based on Epstein files that were released and later erased, that the odds of bombing Iran have risen. Separately, UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres reportedly told member states that the UN is at immediate risk of collapse, with blame placed on the lack of support from the Trump administration.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
