About this listen
Iran teeters on brink as protests surge
Bank of Palestine blocks pay-for-slay accounts
IDF arrests 60 in West Bank raids
The time is now 9:01 AM 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, former Vice-Admiral Robert Harward tells The Jerusalem Post that the Islamic regime is on the brink of collapse, weakened by protests and failed aggression, and that the United States has options to support protesters. He says the recent aggression is the same game plan Iran has used for decades, but this time it is a failed display of strength. The US military shot down an Iranian drone that approached the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea last week, according to US officials. In a separate incident, six Iranian gunboats approached a US-flagged oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps later claimed to have seized two vessels near Farsi Island. Officials say the package of aggression includes inflammatory rhetoric from Tehran threatening to drag the region into war, as protests at home intensify and international pressure grows. In Ardabil, northwestern Iran, following a mysterious series of explosions, a heavy column of smoke is visible around the city’s oil warehouse.
In the Disputed Territories (Gaza, Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem), the Bank of Palestine has refused a request from Israel’s Finance Ministry to close 3,400 accounts reportedly used to distribute payments to released terrorists, saying it is unable to act; sources familiar with the matter say senior Palestinian Authority officials instructed the bank not to comply. The bank had previously agreed to close 1,700 accounts in the West Bank and Gaza, but this time declined, raising concerns over the pay-for-slay program that funds prisoners and families of attackers. Israeli officials warned that failure to close the accounts could trigger measures affecting Israeli banks. In counterterrorism operations across the West Bank, the IDF arrested about 60 suspects, seized six firearms, ten airsoft weapons, and dozens of other weapons, including M16 rifles and parts; 15 wanted individuals, including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad members, were arrested in the Menashe Regional Brigade area as part of efforts to disrupt explosive device networks. The military says it did not specify when these operations occurred. In Gaza, a terrorist opened fire on IDF soldiers near the Yellow Line in the northern Gaza Strip, with no injuries reported, and the IDF subsequently struck terrorist infrastructure in the region. In Khan Yunis, south Gaza, overnight, the IDF carried out precise strikes on Hamas infrastructure in response to a ceasefire violation two days earlier in which Hamas fired at IDF forces. The IDF's Arabic spokesperson, Colonel Avichay Adraee, issued an evacuation warning for a building in Gaza City's Zeitoun neighborhood ahead of an airstrike on Hamas targets; the building was later attacked.
