Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - Update from 2026-02-15 at 13:02
HEADLINES
- Trump backs strikes on Iran missile program
- British Museum drops Palestine labels adopts Canaan
- Mob surrounds IDF soldiers in Bnei Brak
The time is now 1:01 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, an opinion piece argues that pro-Hamas Islamist countries, such as Turkey, Qatar and Pakistan, have no place on Trump's Board of Peace, and that Hamas's prospects of disarming could be undermined by the presence of these states.
In the Disputed Territories (Gaza, Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem), NCAG Chief Commissioner Ali Shaath admitted he threw stones at Israeli soldiers when he was still young, saying he organized demonstrations in Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip and that he was sentenced for stone-throwing and later imprisoned again, necessitating a resit of his degree. The IDF regards stone-throwing as a form of "popular terror." An Israeli expert warned the development could have broader implications. The British Museum has removed the term "Palestine" from some Middle East gallery panels and labels, saying the term no longer holds a neutral meaning and may be read as referencing a political territory; for maps showing ancient cultural regions, the term "Canaan" is now used in the southern Levant for the later second millennium BCE. UK Lawyers for Israel argued that applying the term across periods risks obscuring the history of Israel and the Jewish people, and the museum said panels are being reviewed as part of refurbishing spaces.
In US Policy Concerning Israel, Reuters reports that President Donald Trump told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in December that he would support Israeli strikes on Iran's ballistic missile program if the United States and Iran could not reach a deal, according to CBS News citing two sources familiar with the matter.
In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, Olympic organizers said a staffer who called out "Free Palestine" at an Israeli group was dealt with immediately at the venue level, with no details given on further consequences. Separately, an elite South African school apologized after audio recordings contradicted its claim that a canceled tennis match with a Jewish day school was due to scheduling issues; the South African Jewish Board of Deputies condemned the refusal to play Jewish tennis players, and the school indicated it could not field a team due to prior commitments before the audio surfaced.
In Israeli Economy and Business, a new collective agreement at Haifa Port, owned by the Adani-Gadot group, covers about 700 workers and improves job security, increases wages, and creates a pathway to hire new staff, including improved retirement terms. The deal follows three years of privatization and aims to unlock the port’s potential as part of the IMEC initiative linking India to Europe and the United States, with leadership from the Histadrut praising the long-term stability and clarity it provides for workers and operations at the port.
In Uplifting News, police rescued two female IDF soldiers in Bnei Brak after a mob surrounded them during a welfare visit; 23 people were arrested, and politicians condemned the incident. Prime Minister Netanyahu called the event serious and unacceptable, while IDF Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir described harming soldiers by civilians as a red line, underscoring the broader imperative to protect service members who wear the uniform.
