 HEADLINESRains reveal Gaza tunnel near KissufimMar-a-Lago talks set Iran missile red lineIsrael allows daylight pilgrimages to Joseph's TombThe time is now 3:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.This is the hourly update. Israeli forces say a Gaza tunnel was found after recent rains, with flood-induced landslides exposing a terror site. The tunnel was located about 800 meters from the border, near Kibbutz Kissufim, and sits entirely on Israel’s side of the Yellow Line. The incident highlights the ongoing security concerns tied to Gaza and the importance of border defense and rapid reconnaissance in the field.On Iran, officials say there is not yet current proof that Tehran is developing or possessing chemical or biological weapons. While regional observers monitor for such capabilities, no definitive evidence has been publicly confirmed at this time.In Washington, a high-stakes meeting at Mar-a-Lago brought together Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump. They discussed Iran’s ballistic missile program as a red line, with Trump saying he would back an Israeli military response should Tehran advance its missile capabilities and, if necessary, its nuclear program. The discussions also touched on disarmament of Hamas and broader regional security, including the role of allies in Europe and the potential for coordinated security efforts with US backing. Both leaders emphasized a shared view that decisive steps are required to address threats facing Israel and its neighbors, amid ongoing war-time pressures.Iran-backed forces in Yemen are signaling readiness for renewed clashes with Israel. The Houthis have warned of escalation and say future combat with Israel is inevitable. They also threaten to target any Israeli presence in Somaliland following Israel’s recognition of the breakaway region, signaling a potential widening of regional hostilities if such moves are pursued or reinforced.Israel is moving forward with security-tempered diplomacy that also touches on religious and cultural life. For the first time in 25 years, Israel will permit daylight pilgrimages to Joseph’s Tomb, a departure from a practice that has largely restricted visits to nighttime periods under heavy security escort. The change aims to facilitate access for worshipers while maintaining security protocols.These developments come as Israel continues to navigate a complex regional landscape, balancing immediate security needs with international diplomacy and regional messaging. More updates will follow as events unfold and as more evidence or official statements become available.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
