 HEADLINES- Israel-Iran Clash Deepens as Netanyahu Speaks- Patriot System in Turkey Amid Iran Threats- Lebanon Ceasefire Urged as Hezbollah StrikesThe time is now 5:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the Iranian people must ultimately decide their future, as Israel continues strikes on the regime and seeks lasting change in the region. The statement underscores the ongoing pressure from Israel amid a broader confrontation with Tehran.In Regional Impacts, a Patriot air defense system is being deployed to Malatya in southeastern Turkey as part of NATO measures to boost air defenses against Iran-related missile threats. The Malatya deployment places the system near the Kurecik NATO radar base, which provides vital data and helped identify two Iranian ballistic missiles heading to Turkey over the past week. Ankara has warned Tehran against further missile launches and said it would continue to cooperate with NATO allies. Separately, Israelis awaiting evacuation flights from Dubai and Abu Dhabi fear Ben-Gurion Airport may close, potentially halting flights as intensified missile fire toward central Israel is assessed. Some travelers indicated they could reroute to Athens if necessary. In a related development, Iran threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz, drawing a response from President Trump. A Reuters report from the Kapikoy border area described Iranian travelers crossing into Turkey amid a week of conflict, with many fleeing bombardments and disruptions to travel as the regional war expands.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun called for a complete ceasefire with Israel and urged logistical support for the Lebanese Armed Forces with the aim of disarming Hezbollah. He proposed negotiations under international sponsorship to implement ceasefire terms. In response to rocket fire from Hezbollah, the Israeli military said it struck Hezbollah targets and infrastructure in the Antzr area of southern Lebanon, and an IDF Arabic spokesman told residents in the village to evacuate to ensure their safety. Iran then signaled a response to President Trump’s remarks and offered a deal to the world in the midst of the wider showdown.In US Policy Concerning Israel, Senator Lindsey Graham urged Israel not to strike Iranian oil depots even as he acknowledged his role in helping shape the current conflict, while also directing criticism at Saudi Arabia for opting to stay on the sidelines of the campaign against Iran.In Israeli Domestic Politics, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani hosted anti-Israeli activist Mahmoud Khalil for iftar at Gracie Mansion, a move that drew attention given Khalil’s background and legal challenges. Separately, Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke with regional leaders, praising residents for their patience and urging continued adherence to Home Front Command guidance during the ongoing campaign.In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, a piece headlined Hosting Nazis describes a heated exchange between Piers Morgan and Ben Shapiro that escalated quickly. A European country critical of Israel criticized Germany in the wake of President Trump’s attacks on the European Union, arguing that Germany’s silence in the face of Trump’s stance reflected a broader alignment with his line of criticism.In Uplifting News, Argentina’s President-elect Milei visited the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s grave in New York, reaffirming strong support for Israel.
