About this listen
IDF reservist seriously wounded near Blue Line
Saudi-Turkish urge action on Gaza aid blockade
Lapid labels Qatar hostile; Paris talks disclosed
The time is now 3:02 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), a reservist IDF officer was seriously wounded by gunfire from militants in the northern Gaza Strip during an operation by forces of the Alexandroni Brigade in the area near the Blue Line. He was evacuated to a hospital, and his family was notified. Separately, a joint Saudi–Turkish statement issued after Erdogan’s visit to Saudi Arabia voiced deep concern over the humanitarian situation in Gaza, Israel’s ongoing aggression, and the blocking of aid entry and border crossings, calling on the international community to pressure the Israeli occupation to protect residents of the Strip. The statement made no reference to Iran. In another development, officials say the Gaza shadow economy, including cigarette smuggling, is boosting Hamas by controlling and taxing goods, with the IDF stepping up pressure on law enforcement to crack down. Archaeologists announced the opening to the public of the Pilgrimage Road, an approximately first-century route linking the Pool of Siloam to the foot of the Temple Mount, following 13 years of excavations by the City of David and the Israel Antiquities Authority. The road is believed to have been Jerusalem’s main thoroughfare for pilgrims during the Second Temple period, with finds including coins, oil lamps, hundreds of bronze coins from the Great Revolt, and a sword believed to belong to a Roman legionnaire recovered from a drainage channel beneath the road.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, Yair Lapid calls to recognize Qatar as a hostile state — and what did he do with its officials in Paris? An attorney representing a political figure said in an interview that the opposition leader held several meetings with Qatari officials in Paris, thanked them for boldness, and urged closer ties between the two countries. Also, a measure on taxes for Ashkelon residents moves forward as the Finance Committee unanimously approved advancing the government bill that would provide tax benefits; the proposal now goes to the Knesset for second and third readings.
