Israel hits Hezbollah depots amid ceasefire breach
Abu Shabab dismantles Rafah tunnels shifts focus
UK foils IS plot; life terms issued
The time is now 10:01 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, Israeli airstrikes targeted Hezbollah arms depots and rocket launchers in southern Lebanon, the Israeli military says. The army says Hezbollah continues to try to rebuild its infrastructure in the area, and that the presence of caches and launchers violates the November 2024 ceasefire.
In The Disputed Territories (Gaza, Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem), Abu Shabab says its forces are operating within Hamas tunnels in Rafah. Ghassan Duhine, head of Abu Shabab, told KAN News that the group has begun dismantling the tunnels, which they view as Hamas's most impactful weapon, and that afterward they will destroy weapon manufacturing, rockets, and finally move on to guns. The group is to be involved in security protocols surrounding the Rafah Crossing. Earlier this week Hamas terrorists used a tunnel to try to penetrate Israeli defense lines in Gaza, in eastern Rafah; four Hamas terrorists exited a tunnel and opened fire on the 7th Armored Brigade, and the soldiers returned fire, killing the four attackers.
In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, British authorities foiled an Islamic State-inspired terrorist plot that could have resulted in hundreds of deaths within the Jewish community. Walid Saadaoui, 38, and Amar Hussein, 52, were found guilty at Preston Crown Court in Dover, England, on Friday and received life sentences for preparing acts of terrorism between December 2023 and May 2024. The mastermind behind the plot, Tunisian-born Saadaoui from Wigan, was given a minimum sentence of 37 years.
