Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - Update from 2026-06-05 at 05:01
HEADLINESIsrael Expands Footprint to Somaliland and AzerbaijanHamas Gains Ground Rafah First PushNetanyahu Resists Trump Hezbollah Ceasefire SplitThe time is now 5:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Operation Lion's Roar, authorities say Israel operated from Somaliland in addition to Azerbaijan during the war, and built a network of secret sites established before and during the conflict to support operations.In Regional Impacts, security officials warn that Hamas is exploiting the governance vacuum in Gaza to re-establish its power, while the IDF is preoccupied with the northern front in Lebanon. Officials predict the Israeli government will actively oppose the Palestinian technocratic government’s initiatives in the strip, anticipating that Hamas could ultimately regain control over key power centers. Speaking in a closed forum, a security official warned that progress is impossible under current conditions without increasing threats to the country. The technocratic government is promoting a Rafah First initiative intended to transform Rafah into a demilitarized, terror-free zone and to resettle vetted residents, with infrastructure tenders issued as part of its plan. Explosion at the Port of Constanța in Romania near the Ukrainian border following a drone strike. The IDF’s Arabic-language spokesperson published targeted evacuation instructions for nine northern villages, eight in the Sidon district and one in the Nabatieh district (the village Piliya), with a list of locations identified for caution or action.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told ministers there is no agreement at the moment on a Hezbollah arrangement and that he would bring any deal to the Security Cabinet for approval only if Hezbollah agrees to it. Several ministers pressed for a strong stance, while others warned that a ceasefire under current conditions would be a notable achievement. A separate item notes a post raising questions about who carried out a recent act, with a reference to Hezbollah. CNN reported that Israel sent commando and intelligence units to Azerbaijan during the war with Iran. In a broader exchange, a reporter quoted Marco Rubio pushing back on Iranian Foreign Minister claims of genocide, arguing that Iran bears responsibility for widespread regional trouble, listing Hezbollah, Shia militias, Hamas, and other actors as examples.In Israeli Domestic Politics, a majority of Israelis, 62%, say Netanyahu should not let US President Trump dictate the nature of Israel’s military actions, a Maariv poll found. The view holds across political lines, with 66% of coalition voters and 62% of opposition voters opposed to halting planned IDF strikes on Hezbollah in Lebanon; 25% believe Netanyahu has no choice but to concede to Trump’s demands, while 13% are unsure. The poll comes amid a high-profile exchange between Trump and Netanyahu that included a profanity-laden demand to halt IDF airstrikes. An unrelated brief item notes a claim of agreement with a foreign affairs stance, and a separate incident reports an attempted stabbing at the entrance to a police station in the Galilee region; the attacker was neutralized, and a 23-year-old suspect from Jadidah Makr was arrested for questioning.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINESFord carrier blaze cripples largest shipHamas reasserts power in Gaza amid vacuumIranian drone strikes Oman port Mina al-FahalThe time is now 4:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In US Military Role, new footage shows extensive damage aboard the world’s largest aircraft carrier during its Iran deployment. The March 2026 fire aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford began in the laundry area, and the ship’s fire-suppression system failed, forcing sailors to fight the blaze manually for more than 30 hours. About 600 sailors lost their bunks as the vessel underwent damage assessment. CNN aired exclusive footage of the incident. The blaze disrupted operations and could keep the carrier in repairs for months.In Regional Impacts, an attempted stabbing outside a Western Galilee police station was thwarted early Friday when a Border Police soldier overpowered the would-be attacker and disarmed him before arrest. The suspect, a 23-year-old resident of Jadeidi-Makr, was identified by police. Hours earlier, Israeli troops shot and killed a Palestinian who was throwing Molotov cocktails at motorists on Route 60 near Baytin, north of Ramallah. In Oman, authorities recorded the moment an Iranian drone struck the Mina al-Fahal port.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, security officials warned Hamas is exploiting the governance vacuum in Gaza to re-establish its power, while the IDF is focused on the northern front in Lebanon. Officials expect the Israeli government to oppose Hamas’ initiatives in the strip, as the militant group seeks to regain control of key power centers. In a closed forum, a security official said progress is difficult under current conditions without increasing threats. The technocratic government in Gaza is promoting a Rafah First initiative to transform Rafah into a demilitarized zone and to facilitate orderly relocation of vetted residents.In Israeli Domestic Politics, a majority of Israelis say Netanyahu should not allow Trump to dictate the nature of Israel’s military actions. Sixty-two percent hold that view, with 66% of coalition voters and 62% of opposition voters agreeing. Twenty-five percent believe Netanyahu must concede to Trump’s demands, while 13% are undecided. The poll follows a high-profile exchange in which Trump demanded that Israel halt IDF airstrikes on Beirut.In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, a Wisconsin student group is promoting the writings of Bassel al-Araj at political education events at the Central Madison Public Library this June, under a program titled The Praxis of Resistance: Selected Writings of Bassel al-Araj. Al-Araj, killed in a 2017 Ramallah gunfight with IDF troops, was described as head of a terrorist cell who planned attacks and procured weapons. In London, activists attempted to place a statue of Marwan Barghouti in Parliament Square; police removed the statue, and the Free Marwan Now campaign said Barghouti should be honored alongside leaders like Mandela.In Uplifting News, a wounded fighter from the Judea and Samaria region describes the lack of a place for injured soldiers to rest and receive support, prompting the creation of the Oz L’Gibor home in Ariel. The facility provides critical care for about 167 wounded from the area who come regularly, and organizers say there are hundreds more waiting for help. They are asking supporters to contribute 18 shekels per month, with donations managed through a GiveChak link. The effort reflects a local commitment to care for injured veterans and their families.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINESIran Warns of Fresh Strike on IsraelOman Port Hit by Iranian Drone AttackIsraeli Voters Reject Trump War DemandsThe time is now 3:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Iranian Retaliation, Mohsen Razaei, adviser to the Supreme Leader in Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, warned that there may be another strike on the way that will put Israel and the US back in their place.In Regional Impacts, an explosion at a port in Oman is believed to be from an Iranian drone attack. At Mina al Fahal, loading operations were temporarily suspended and parts of the port were closed as a precaution.In US Policy Concerning Israel, a Maariv poll found that a majority of Israelis, 62%, think Netanyahu should not allow President Trump to dictate the nature of Israel's military actions. The breakdown shows 66% of coalition voters and 62% of opposition voters sharing that view. Around 25% think Netanyahu has no choice but to concede to Trump's demands to halt planned IDF attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon, while 13% say they do not know. The poll comes against the backdrop of a profanity-laced exchange between Trump and Netanyahu, with Trump demanding that Israel halt planned IDF airstrikes on Beirut, and the related controversy surrounding the vote for the state comptroller position contributing to the coalition bloc weakening to 50 mandates, while the opposition stands at 60 and Arab parties at 10.In Israeli Domestic Politics, a 23-year-old man from Jadeidi-Makr arrived at the Western Galilee police station entrance around 5:30 a.m., emerged from his car, and charged toward a Border Police officer with a knife; the officer stopped the assault and the suspect was detained for questioning, with a court to decide on extending detention. In a separate report, a knife-wielding 23-year-old was subdued outside the Western Galilee police station in Kafr Yasif after allegedly approaching a Border Police reservist.In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, activists attempted to erect a statue of Marwan Barghouti in Parliament Square on Wednesday, but police intercepted and removed the statue. Barghouti, imprisoned in Israel, was convicted on five counts of murder for involvement in attacks during the Second Intifada. The Free Marwan Now campaign said Barghouti should take his rightful place among leaders like Mandela, though supporters’ claims are contested by opponents.In Uplifting News, the Monastery of Meteora in Greece is described as amazing.In Uplifting News, a sunset seen from space.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINESLebanon ceasefire stalls after Hezbollah rebuffs termsUS moderates clash over Iran war calculusIsraelis reject US dictates on military actionThe time is now 2:01 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, Israel holds off on Lebanon ceasefire after Hezbollah torpedoes US efforts, ministers voice opposition to the US-backed framework, but Netanyahu says there was no agreement to approve after Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem rejected the terms. An update based on satellite imagery shows the IDF capturing the village of Arnon near Beaufort, Tabit, and Ali Taher as part of a push toward a Hezbollah stronghold; the IDF assumes responsibility in the area but does not enter Mifadon and continues to threaten Nabatia.In the US Policy Concerning Israel, Editor's Notes: Democratic Party moderates must confront their anti-Israel colleagues, the editor writes from Washington after conversations with Middle East representatives who say the war with Iran has changed the regional calculus; privately, several believe that a defanged Iran would serve every sane government in the region, though they will not state that on the record; the piece emphasizes a persistent gap between private belief and public defense as a defining theme of the week.In Israeli Domestic Politics, a Maariv poll finds that a majority of Israelis, 62%, think Netanyahu should not allow the US president to dictate the nature of Israel's military actions, with 66% of coalition voters and 62% of opposition voters sharing the view; 25% think he has no choice but to concede, while 13% are unsure. The poll comes amid a high-profile exchange in which Trump demanded Israel halt planned IDF airstrikes on Beirut and amidst shifts in coalition strength, with the bloc at 50 mandates and the opposition at 60, Arab parties at 10. A separate editorial notes riots outside Deputy Supreme Court President Noam Sohlberg’s home after rulings on ultra-Orthodox military service, arguing that the broader trend of selective obedience is eroding the rule of law and that democratic disagreement cannot justify intimidation; the piece stresses this is not an isolated phenomenon.In Israeli Economy and Business, the dollar rose 0.4 percent this morning and crossed the 2.9 shekel mark, signaling a firm move in the exchange rate.In Uplifting News, Reichman University will award an honorary doctorate to former Mossad chief David (Dadi) Barnea, hostage survivor Eli Sharabi, media personality Lucy Aharish, Inbal Kries from the Arrow Project, and philanthropists Doris and Morry Arkin.

Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - Update from 2026-06-05 at 01:01
HEADLINESUS House blocks Lebanon war powers voteEU funds Lebanese army to curb HezbollahFirst woman completes Sayeret Matkal trainingThe time is now 1:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Regional Impacts, a majority of House Democrats joined Republicans to block a Lebanon war powers resolution proposed by Representative Rashida Tlaib. The chamber voted 92 to 324 against the measure, with 117 Democrats voting against it and 91 in favor, while only one Republican was among the yes votes and two Democrats voted present. Had it passed, the resolution would have directed President Donald Trump to remove all US armed forces from any hostilities in Lebanon within seven days of adoption. House leaders stressed that no US service members are engaged in combat operations in Lebanon and indicated support for an alternative proposal to maintain coordination with Lebanon against Hezbollah while ending participation in what they described as the Israeli government’s actions in the region.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the European Union approved an additional €100 million for the Lebanese Armed Forces, earmarked to strengthen the Lebanese state and reduce Hezbollah’s grip on southern Lebanon. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said the aim is to help Lebanon establish a monopoly on weapons and disarm non-state actors such as Hezbollah, bringing the total EU military support for Lebanon to €182 million. The move comes as Hezbollah openly rejected a US-backed ceasefire proposal that would require the group to withdraw from southern Lebanon and disarm, with Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem vowing that the “resistance” would continue, underscoring the challenge to stabilizing Israel’s northern border.In US Policy Concerning Israel, a commentator reflects on conversations in Washington about the Middle East, noting that the most important discussions are often the ones held out of public view. The piece describes how a year of conflict with Iran has moved some moderate Arab officials to privately hope that Israel and the United States will finish the job against Iran, since a defanged Iran would serve stable governance in the region. The writer emphasizes a gap between private beliefs and public defense of policy as a defining dynamic of the moment.In Israeli Domestic Politics, authorities say a man attempted a stabbing attack at a Western Galilee Border Police station in the early hours. The 23-year-old suspect from Jadeidi-Makr arrived at the station around 5:30 a.m., exited his vehicle, and advanced toward a Border Police officer with a knife; the officer stopped him, and the suspect was detained for questioning. Separately, editors weigh in on protests outside Deputy Supreme Court President Noam Sohlberg’s home following the High Court’s rulings on haredi military service. They condemn the intimidation of judges and warn against a trend of selective obedience, arguing the law is legitimate only when it aligns with broadly supported principles. The piece frames this as part of a wider dispute over how laws are applied across Israeli society.In Israeli Economy and Business, Azerbaijan has emerged as Israel’s gas buffer. Backup supplies from SOCAR provide Egypt and Jordan with alternatives when Israeli gas exports are disrupted, while helping keep Israel connected to regional customers that may avoid direct purchases.In Uplifting News, Jerusalem’s Tower of David Museum is seeking public assistance to recover forgotten photographs of the Western Wall dating from the 1860s to 1968 for a major exhibition marking 60 years since Jerusalem’s reunification. The exhibit, Eyes on the Wall, will explore the wall’s history through personal images, and a recently discovered rare 1920s photo collection underscores the potential for more treasures awaiting discovery. People with relevant images are encouraged to submit them for consideration. Also in uplifting news, history was made when the first woman completed Israel’s most elite unit, Sayeret Matkal, finishing an arduous 18-month training program and breaking a long-standing barrier for female service in the unit.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINESIAEA blind on Iran enriched uranium stockpileEU boosts Lebanon funds to curb HezbollahFirst woman completes Sayeret Matkal trainingThe time is now 12:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, the IAEA has been unable to inspect Iran's nuclear facilities hit in war, and a confidential report by the UN nuclear watchdog says the agency has no information on Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium and is unable to discharge its safeguards responsibilities.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Europe pours millions into Lebanon as Hezbollah rejects ceasefire. The European Union has approved an additional €100 million for the Lebanese Armed Forces to strengthen the Lebanese state and reduce Hezbollah’s grip on southern Lebanon, bringing total EU military support for Lebanon to €182 million. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said the aim is to help Lebanon establish a monopoly on weapons and disarm non-state actors such as Hezbollah. Hezbollah rejected a US-backed ceasefire proposal that would require the group to withdraw from southern Lebanon and disarm, with leader Naim Qassem dismissing the plan and vowing that the “resistance” would continue, underscoring the challenge to stabilizing Israel’s northern border.In US Policy Concerning Israel, Editor's Notes: Democratic Party moderates must confront their anti-Israel colleagues - comment, the writer recalls traveling in Washington and listening across the Middle East. He notes that the war with Iran has opened spaces previously closed, with representatives from countries that have no relations with Israel in attendance. Privately, several believe that a defanged Iran serves regional stability and that the most important conversations are happening off the record, a gap between private belief and public defense that defines the current moment.Also in US Policy Concerning Israel, House blocks Rashida Tlaib's resolution calling for removal of all US troops from Lebanon - report, the House voted 92 to 324 against the resolution, with 117 Democrats voting against and 91 in favor; only one Republican favored it, while two Democrats voted present. House leaders insisted there are no US service-members in combat operations in Lebanon and signaled support for an alternative approach that would maintain coordination against Hezbollah while continuing to back Lebanon's government and security forces.In Israeli Domestic Politics, Riots at Sohlberg’s home not surprising, nor isolated - editorial, the piece argues the disturbances outside Deputy Supreme Court President Noam Sohlberg’s residence reflect a broader, troubling trend toward selective obedience to laws. It contends that after the High Court’s rulings on ultra-Orthodox military service, public disagreement has turned personal, and that the notion of laws binding only when convenient threatens democratic norms. Judges should not be targets of intimidation, and the state cannot function when lawfulness is treated as a matter of private interest.In Israeli Economy and Business, Azerbaijan becomes Israel’s gas buffer, backup supplies from SOCAR are providing Egypt and Jordan with alternatives when Israeli gas exports are disrupted, while keeping Israel connected to regional customers that may avoid direct purchases.In Uplifting News, Out on both counts: What Pride taught me about being Jewish - opinion, the author recalls attending Jerusalem Pride and, after years of hiding, embracing visibility and connection within Jewish identity. The experience, shaped by memory of a tragedy at the parade, framed pride as a moment of personal and communal resilience.Rare call for lost Western Wall photos, Jerusalem’s Tower of David Museum is seeking forgotten photographs of the Western Wall from the 1860s to 1968 for a major exhibition titled Eyes on the Wall, marking 60 years since the reunification of Jerusalem. The discovery of a rare 1920s photo collection has highlighted the potential to uncover more historic images, and submissions from the public are encouraged to help illuminate the site’s history.History made: First woman breaks into Israel’s most elite unit, in a historic milestone for the IDF, the first woman has completed the 18-month training course of Sayeret Matkal, Israel’s premier special forces unit. After enduring an exceptionally demanding selection and training process, she earned her place among the nation’s top warriors, signaling a new chapter in IDF history and a demonstration of determination and resilience for the next generation.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

HEADLINESDetains 60 after protest near judge's homeJerusalem Pride marches amid security surgeYael Arad awarded Chaim Herzog PrizeThe time is now 10:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Israeli Domestic Politics, more than 60 suspects were detained after the ultra-Orthodox protest near the home of Supreme Court Deputy President Justice Noam Sohlberg. Senior Israel Police Superintendent Chaim Taieb told 103FM that the incident was not a routine protest but a serious criminal event with real intent to harm. He said investigators are in the final stages of their initial work and expect most detainees to appear in court later Thursday, with a request to extend detention to continue the probe. Taieb stressed that while police defend the right to demonstrate, this case stands apart as a first-rate criminal act and a violation of the rule of law. Thousands of people joined Jerusalem’s Pride March under tight security, with the route altered to end outside the Knesset. marchers carried LGBTQ flags and moved from Sacher Park to the Wohl Rose Garden as they voiced support and opposition in a climate shaped by the government in power since late 2022. One participant, Ash Segal of Modiin, said, “I love the old route, but times are different and we need to show that we’re not going to be erased, like the government’s been trying to do for four years now. There’s no getting rid of us.” The procession reflected a faction that remains mobilized in opposition to policies perceived as hostile to LGBTQ rights.In Israeli Economy and Business, activists responded to a boycott vote at the Park Slope Food Coop in Brooklyn by distributing Bamba, the Israeli peanut butter snack, across New York’s Celebrate Israel Day Parade route. Four thousand free bags were handed out Sunday along Fifth Avenue by volunteers with UJA-Federation of New York. The distribution was organized with the Met Council, which will deliver the remaining bags to hundreds of food pantries within its network. An initial purchase of 20,000 Bamba bags had been made by UJA in the wake of the coop vote, and the snacks are being routed to pantries as a show of support for Israeli products and aid to those in need.In Uplifting News, Yael Arad was presented with the Chaim Herzog Prize for her contribution to Israel. Israel’s first Olympic medalist and current chair of the Olympic Committee of Israel was honored at the President’s Residence for a career that bridged sport and leadership and helped advance Israeli athletics on the world stage.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
