Israel Intensifies Military Operations Amid Rising Tensions
Hezbollah Targeted as Israel Expands Offensive
Controversial Gaza Policies Ignite Heated Debate

The time is now 07:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

Israeli military operations have intensified across multiple fronts as tensions escalate in the ongoing conflict with Iran and its proxies. This report outlines the latest developments across seven key fronts: Iran, Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen, as well as their international and domestic implications.

Lebanon:
The Israeli Air Force has conducted significant airstrikes in the Dahieh neighborhood of Beirut, targeting six Hezbollah military facilities, including naval missile command centers and intelligence headquarters. Over the past week, approximately 30 targets linked to Hezbollah have been hit, aiming to disrupt the group’s operational capabilities against Israel. The Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz, has emphasized a zero-tolerance policy towards threats emanating from Lebanon, demanding effective enforcement from UNIFIL against any potential terrorist bases. Following a recent operation, Israeli troops have reached the Litani River for the first time in over twenty years, marking a significant territorial advance against Hezbollah.

Gaza:
In Gaza, Israeli military leadership is advocating for a more permanent military occupation of the territory. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has proposed policies promoting the voluntary transfer of Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank, suggesting that such measures could drastically reduce the population within two years. This controversial stance has raised considerable debate regarding the future of Israeli-Palestinian relations.

West Bank:
Clashes continue as Israeli forces engage with Palestinian militants in various areas of the West Bank. Amidst increasing violence, a recent poll indicated that a majority of Israelis oppose the proposed agreements with Palestinian authorities, reflecting deep divisions within Israeli society regarding the handling of the conflict.

Syria:
Israeli air operations also extend into Syrian territory, targeting Iranian military installations and weapons depots believed to be used for transferring arms to Hezbollah. The Israeli military remains vigilant regarding Iranian entrenchment in Syria, which poses a direct threat to Israeli security.

Iraq and Yemen:
While less active than the other fronts, both Iraq and Yemen are seen as extensions of Iranian influence, with proxy groups in these regions potentially mobilizing against Israel. The Israeli military continues to monitor these areas closely.

International Implications:
On the international stage, the United Nations has faced scrutiny for perceived biases against Israel, particularly regarding accusations of genocide. A recent decision not to renew the contract of a UN adviser who refrained from condemning Israel has sparked controversy, highlighting the complexities of international relations in the context of this conflict.

Domestic Issues:
Domestically, the Israeli public is grappling with the ramifications of the ongoing conflict, as protests erupt against government actions. Recent incidents involving Israeli soldiers and alleged misconduct have prompted investigations, further complicating the already tense domestic environment.

This multifaceted conflict continues to evolve, with implications that extend beyond the immediate regions involved, affecting global diplomatic relations and domestic stability in Israel. The situation remains fluid, and further developments are anticipated as military operations progress and political dialogues unfold.
