About this listen
Majdal Shams families sue Hezbollah for compensation
Iran warns US bases may be struck
West Bank raids arrest Hamas PIJ suspects
The time is now 8:01 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, eight families of Israeli-Druze children from Majdal Shams filed a lawsuit in the Jerusalem District Court against Hezbollah, seeking 80 million shekels in compensation, with an additional suit for 165 million on behalf of 30 locals wounded in the July 2024 attack. Hezbollah, which began firing at Israel in 2023, launched an Iranian-made Falaq-1 missile weighing about 53 kilograms of explosives at a soccer field, killing 12 children and wounding many others. One father, Laith Abu Saleh, described life after the loss as destroyed and said the litigation aims to establish clear responsibility for harming civilians, even as it cannot replace their loved ones. In a separate note, a top Iranian security official said the United States has not proposed a framework for a nuclear agreement and warned that Iran would strike US bases in the Middle East if Washington orders attacks on Tehran. Amid these tensions, a post-meeting commentary following a Trump–Netanyahu session asserted that the fate of Iran’s ayatollah-led regime has been sealed.
In the Disputed Territories (Gaza, Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem), the IDF, acting on guidance from the Shin Bet, conducted a broad counterterrorism operation across 12 villages along the seam line in the Menashe Brigade sector. The operation led to the arrests of several suspects affiliated with Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the seizure of tens of thousands of shekels in alleged terror funds. Forces from the Egoz commando unit and other security teams detained individuals identified by Shin Bet intelligence cues, with dozens further questioned over alleged terror activity, including smuggling Palestinians without permits into Israel. In Barta’a, Civil Administration teams demolished three illegal buildings and seized dozens of stolen vehicles. Overnight, 23 arrests were reported across the West Bank. In the Binyamin Brigade area, authorities confiscated a Kalashnikov rifle, pistols, magazines and ammunition, and an M-4-type rifle was seized in the Ephraim area.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, the Beersheba District Court allowed publication after a parole board rejected former minister Gonen Segev’s request for early release, a decision the court said reflected security assessments and arguments from the prosecution. Segev, who served an 11-year sentence after pleading guilty in 2019 to aggravated espionage and passing information to Iranian intelligence, had been seeking a shorter sentence or early release. In a separate interview, Professor Oriel Reichman, founder and former president of Reichman University, reiterated that Zionism remains the state’s core promise and distinguished mainstream Zionism from fringe currents, warning against moves that would erode civil rights and stressing the importance of maintaining democratic protections. Finally, Knesset lawmaker Meir Porush of Agudat Yisrael sent letters to the United States and United Kingdom ambassadors urging intervention over exit bans on Haredi draft evaders, arguing that dual citizens are being denied the basic right to return to their homeland.
