About this listen
Hamas release to Egypt risks border cells
US refueling planes seen at Ben Gurion
Financial literacy mandatory in Israeli schools
The time is now 10:02 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), authorities report that a mosque was set on fire near Nablus and an Australian teenager was attacked, according to a must-listen Jerusalem Post roundup. The report highlights top stories with headlines edited by Shir Perets and Maayan Alon and hosted by Shifra Jacobs. A separate item notes concerns raised by experts that Hamas terrorists released into Egypt as part of a ceasefire-hostage deal could create new security cells on Israel’s border; Egyptian intelligence and security are described as highly vigilant of every Palestinian with a history of involvement in terror, and there is discussion that Egypt may monitor or even consider returning some individuals to Gaza to protect its territory.
In US Policy Concerning Israel, an opinion piece argues that Trump’s “Board of Peace” will not stop jihadist terror against Israel, contending the plan addresses only surface symptoms and fails to tackle root causes, with jihadist groups pursuing power over death rather than territorial or financial gains. Separately, the US Embassy in Beirut evacuated dozens of non-essential personnel as a precaution amid rising regional tensions with Iran, stating the mission remains operational with core staff and that the movement accompanies a broader regional posture reflected in multiple US ships positioned in Middle Eastern waters. As part of a broad US military buildup in the region, American refueling planes have been seen at Ben Gurion Airport, with Israeli authorities having offered no public comment on the deployment; multiple reports confirm the presence of US aerial refueling aircraft at the country’s main civilian airport, alongside footage of American tankers at Israel’s international airport.
In Israeli Economy and Business, a Hebrew-language report notes the Tax Authority’s strong-action posture in a headline about a crackdown described as ending a polymer-market celebration and signaling a significant financial impact. The piece also references commentary related to Netanyahu’s testimony and warnings from a former security official about a possible Iranian attack across four theaters, as well as reforms making financial literacy a mandatory subject in schools and related developments in Turkey affecting the Israeli defense landscape.
Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.
