About this listen
Hezbollah hedges war, ready if regime targeted
Iran Geneva makes progress on sanctions relief
11 F-22s at Uvda base signaling force
The time is now 3:01 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, Hezbollah announced it will stay out of the war if any American or Israeli attack on Iran is limited to certain Iranian capabilities, and it signaled it could join the fight if attacks on the Islamic Republic target the Supreme Leader or aim to topple the regime. In a separate development, Israeli forces identified militants approaching the Yellow Line in the Gaza Strip; combat troops of the Iron Fist Brigade then coordinated with the air force to strike and kill several militants to remove the threat. After talks in Geneva, Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi said the round was the best so far, with clear presentation of demands to the United States, and that on Monday technical talks would address details. He said there has been progress on the nuclear issue and sanctions relief, with some points agreed and others still in dispute.
In the US Policy Concerning Israel, satellite imagery released by a Chinese intelligence firm shows 11 US F-22 Raptor fighters deployed at the Uvda Air Force Base, with transport, refueling, and a passenger plane also seen arriving to support what appears to be a carrier for the fighter squadron. The move comes as regional actors have signaled limits on exposure, with the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia saying they will not allow their airspace, territory, or waters to be used for actions against Iran, and the United Kingdom reportedly not yet giving permission for the US to use its regional base for such actions. The F-22s were part of a broader force that included B-2 bombers and F-35s in last year’s operations against Iran, and the F-22 remains among the most advanced air superiority fighters in operation.
In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, Canadian Jewish parents warned after a major newspaper singled out state-subsidized Jewish schools in Montreal for hosting current or former Israeli soldiers as speakers, arguing the schools may be crossing into political advocacy during the wartime period. The reporting highlighted instances such as Herzliah High School hosting a serving IDF member and noted that other subsidized Jewish schools in the area have hosted active or former IDF personnel, drawing community concern over how these activities are framed. Separately, a San Francisco labor gathering saw protesters from the local Democratic Socialists of America chapter chant antisemitic language, drawing condemnation and raising questions about hate speech at public events.
In Uplifting News, the mother of fallen IDF soldier Barel Hadaria Shmueli has won the right to pursue the posthumous use of his sperm to conceive a child, following a four-year legal battle. She is pursuing a process to have a child conceived and raised with the family’s support, reflecting a painful, relational path toward building a family in the wake of tragedy.
