HEADLINES
Israelis split over Iran war Gaza board
Harish mosque noise breaches curfew
D-Fend grows into global drone defense

The time is now 4:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In the conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, a new poll shows Israelis are sharply divided over whether Israel should get involved in a possible war with Iran, and only a minority believe the US-backed Board of Peace can be helpful in the Gaza Strip.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, residents of Harish have been reporting a loud disturbance for more than a year, arising from mosque loudspeakers in nearby villages and peaking around 4:00 a.m. They say the noise violates a curfew on loud sounds from 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. and that police are closing cases under a general noise provision rather than enforcing the explicit rest-hours rule. Activist Asaf Goldstein says the handling is unclear, and residents argue that the law is clear about the rest-hours ban while enforcement has not addressed the issue they face. They note that proving the exact noise level at the moment is difficult and point to comparisons with stricter enforcement in other settings, such as event halls.

In Israeli Economy and Business, D-Fend Solutions is described as having grown from a garage startup to a global leader in drone mitigation through a cyber-first approach. The company’s EnforceAir platform detects, identifies, and takes control of unauthorized drones by manipulating their radio-frequency links, rather than jamming or destroying them, with the aim of neutralizing threats with minimal disruption. The technology is designed for sensitive environments like airports, crowded urban centers, government buildings, and critical infrastructure sites where collateral damage cannot be afforded.

In Uplifting News, Israel-haters in Australia are reacting with criticism to President Isaac Herzog’s solidarity visit to the Sydney Jewish community, with some aligning with a Hezbollah-linked group. One critic, Nasser Mashni, has voiced strong opposition to Herzog, while lawyer Adam Houda has offered to represent protesters pro bono.
