The time is now 4:01 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, voices across policy and analysis weigh the path forward as Tehran's regional network remains a focal point for US and allied strategy. One opinion piece argues that a crushing military blow on Iran is necessary to reset the regional and global balance of power, even though many foreign policy experts say such a move could backfire by not saving protesters, by sparking support for the regime, and by potentially yielding a different but equally harsh ruler. The author contends that a major strike would leave Washington and its allies stronger and adversaries weaker, citing Elliott Abrams’ Foreign Affairs essay as support for a strategic reset. A separate analysis warns that removing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei without dismantling the regime would betray the Iranian people and leave Israel facing the same threats under new leadership, describing a cosmetic transition as a disaster for Iranians and a risk to Israel. It notes Israel’s deep involvement in behind-the-scenes discussions about how confrontation could unfold, and whether it would bring real change or another dead end. A video update titled Iran's Nuclear Program: A Fragile Game of Time is also noted within this topic.
In the Disputed Territories (Gaza, Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem), security alerts in the Judea region warn of possible infiltrations by militants. Reports timestamped 22:50 on 06/02/2026 described alerts for the area around Carmi Tzur, with instructions to enter a building and lock the doors and close the windows as a red alert was issued.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Jeffrey Epstein’s close relationship with former prime minister Ehud Barak suggests Barak was working against Israel, posting on X that Barak had spent years trying to undermine Israeli democracy by allying with the anti-Zionist radical left to overthrow the elected government and to fuel protests and false media narratives. The remarks followed the release of a new batch of Epstein files by the US Justice Department, which contained millions of pages, including documents showing Barak and Epstein discussing immigration policy, with Barak noting Israel could absorb another million immigrants from Russian-speaking countries.
In Uplifting News, Israel’s winter Olympic team for Milan-Cortina 2026 is made up of 10 athletes competing in five sports, including figure skating, ski jumping, cross-country skiing, alpine skiing, and bobsled, marking the largest Israeli winter delegation to date, with Bernie Solush set to be the first on the course in alpine skiing as the team aims for finals. Separately, Shabbat Shalom from the Sea of Galilee carries a weekend greeting from the water.
