 HEADLINESGaza strikes kill seven in Mowati tentIran to hold Hormuz live-fire naval drillUS warns Iran any disruption triggers strikesThe time is now 3:03 AM 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), overnight Israeli forces conducted broad strikes across the Gaza Strip. In Khan Younis’s Mowati area, seven members of the Abu Hadid family were killed when a tent was hit. In western Gaza, five Gazans were killed in a strike on a dwelling near the Alعבאסי junction. The Israeli military also reported a strike on a target in Jabalia in the north where there were injuries but no fatalities. Additional targets in central Gaza were attacked with no casualties reported. A separate note indicates strikes in Gaza City, including in Jabalia and Al-Buraij.In the conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Iran warned it plans a naval drill in the Hormuz strait in the coming days, with live-fire and the activity potentially disrupting shipping in the area Sunday and Monday. A separate report notes a Saudi warning that if US president Trump does not act against Iran, the regime could grow stronger. Yemen’s Houthis hailed a Security Council moment after Israel’s UN envoy quoted the group’s slogan death to America, death to Israel, arguing it shows Israel and the United States fear them. In Washington, a private meeting in which Saudi Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman spoke with senior US officials, including the secretary of state and the defense secretary, reiterated a warning that without US action the Iranian regime would strengthen.In US Policy Concerning Israel, Washington issued a firm message to Iran about dangerous behavior during a naval exercise with live-fire in the Hormuz Strait. CENTCOM stressed that any disruption to freedom of navigation or risk to American forces would be met with retaliatory strikes.In uplifting News, a feature from Israel’s capital of bite-sized bites and cultural flavor takes readers to Or Yehuda, described as the Berlin of the Cold War era, where Iraqi and Tripolitanian culinary traditions mingle and a beloved boreka shop owner and his family bring a bustling street-food scene to life. In Boca Raton, Florida, about 350,000 Haitians face deportation from the United States, and some Jewish residents, including survivors of the Holocaust, spoke of a “kindred bond” with Haitian staff and discussed the prospect of helping them by offering to hide workers in their buildings. And NASA astronaut Christina Koch is nearing a historic milestone as the first woman to travel around the Moon aboard Artemis 2, following a career that spans Antarctic winters and record space missions.In Other News, a wide range of topics covers the global and regional frame. A commentary questions how future historians will describe Qatar’s influence in the West, noting funding and media presence as a factor in shaping perception. A foreign-policy vignette recounts a Turkish- and Qatari-flavored approach to influence, drawing an analogy to President Erdogan’s symbolic Ramadan moment when he famously ate a sandwich during daylight. In Israel, a man around fifty was seriously wounded in an incident of violence in Kfar Saba, with investigators pursuing details. A piece argues that artificial intelligence does not replace divine intelligence but complements it, exploring ancient Jewish thought alongside modern technology. A report notes what some call a “Saudi reversal,” arguing that avoiding action against Iran could bolster the regime, while another analysis portrays Qatar as orchestrating a broader influence campaign in the United States and Europe through various channels. An incident in Kesifah left a man injured moderately, and a separate report documents a US Navy destroyer visiting Israel, along with a broader discussion about a maritime corridor. An assessment from Iran International discussed how an anticipated strike against the regime might unfold soon, describing it as a move aimed at political change rather than a nuclear agreement. And in American civic life, demonstrations in Downtown Austin against immigration enforcement highlighted tensions across US cities, while a provocative post circulated online about the scope of historical enslaved populations prompted by claims tied to Muslim rulers.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
