About this listen
- UC campuses labeled antisemitism microcosm
- Indicted reservist and civilian in Polymarket bets
- Five killed in Arab-Israeli shootings
The time is now 5:02 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, the University of California system is described as a microcosm of faculty antisemitism in a 158-page report by the AMCHA Initiative, focusing on the Los Angeles, Berkeley, and Santa Cruz campuses.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, prosecutors have filed an indictment against a civilian and an IDF reservist for allegedly using classified operational information to place bets on military actions via the Polymarket website. The Tel Aviv District Court lifted a gag order at the request of the State Attorney’s Office cyber department, which said the reservist accessed the information through his army role and shared it with the civilian for wagering. According to a court-approved paraphrase requested by the prosecution, the suspects were arrested in a joint operation by the Shin Bet, the Arazim investigations unit within the Defense Ministry’s Security Authority (Malmab), and Israel Police. Following investigations by Malmab and the Shin Bet, prosecutors decided to bring them to trial on serious security offenses, bribery, and obstruction of justice. The case follows reporting that Israeli authorities were examining whether insider information had been used to profit from prediction markets tied to Israeli operations in Iran in June 2025. Experts have warned that online prediction markets can be abused with insider information. Five people were killed overnight in crime-related incidents in the Arab community, police said, as Arab-Israelis continue to grapple with rising crime. In Segev Shalom, Farid Abu Mubarak was rushed to the Soroka Medical Center in critical condition after sustaining piercing wounds to his upper body. Police said officers were on the scene, collecting forensic evidence and scanning the area for potential suspects. Earlier, a 50-year-old Lod resident, Hussein Abu Rakayek, was shot dead near a Dor Alon gas station at the intersection of Yodfat and Abba Hillel Silver streets after walking from the Old City. Police said officers secured the scene, collected forensic evidence, and obtained footage from nearby security cameras. Patrols and area searches launched in the wake of the shootings. Police asked the public to avoid the area. Rahat mayor called it "a black day" for the Arab sector as Abraham Initiatives reports 45 victims of crime in 2026.
In Uplifting News, Time with Dad program launched to assist reservists reintegrating with families after IDF service. The program, supported by the Schusterman Foundation and the Glaser Foundation, provides structured group sessions for reserve soldiers and their young children. Today, around 20 groups offer structured support to many families around the country. Yoel Goldberg, 45, a father of four from Moshav Ganei Tal, who served more than 400 days in reserve duty, says extended reserve service — especially when it includes loss and trauma — changes you. "After the service, I forgot what it means to make a sandwich and play with my child," said another of the project participants. The program aims to bridge the gap between field and home for those returning from long service.
