About this listen
France urges restraint amid US Iran tensions
Israeli team booed at Milan Olympics
Infiltration scare near Karmei Tzur ends
The time is now 5:02 PM 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, France urges Iran-backed groups to show restraint if US-Iran tensions escalate. In Beirut, Foreign Minister Jean‑Noël Barrot warned that any US–Iran escalation could drag allied militias into war and destabilize the region, as Paris prepares a conference to bolster Lebanon’s weakened army.
In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, Israel team marches to smattering of boos at Milan Winter Olympics opening ceremony. Israel’s Olympic team walked into the San Siro stadium during the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony to a smattering of boos, with security a top concern after the war in Gaza. The Israeli delegation, with nine Olympians and one Paralympian, waved the flag and smiled as the parade began; Israeli skier Barnabas Szollos said, “I'm prepared, they can do whatever they want.” In Cortina d’Ampezzo the parallel parade drew some cheers, while in Predazzo there were boos. The episode underscores heightened security considerations for Israeli athletes at the Games.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, infiltration alert detected in Karmei Tzur, IDF conducting scans in area. The Home Front Command said the alert was triggered when two unknown individuals were seen near the town’s perimeter; forces were deployed for safety scans and officials said they were in ongoing contact with residents and security authorities. An update at 23:48 said the threat was removed and no danger remained in the Yehuda region, including Karmei Tzur, with residents free to move. The incident was recorded as concluded at Karmei Tzur-Radar with a red alert. Separately, a senior security official, now retired, described the leadership as weak and questioned how such a figure could govern. In a later briefing, the IDF said there was no current infiltration in the town, noting that two suspects had been identified outside the community and that searches continued. The broader political conversation around Prime Minister Netanyahu continued, with critics arguing about accountability in security and governance. A separate commentary highlighted discussions over the appropriate response to national security questions, with some voices suggesting the focus should be on leadership recognition rather than a formal inquiry.
