Hezbollah Attacks Israel Sixteen Since Ceasefire
American Journalist Abducted in Baghdad Beaten
Jerusalem Marathon Finishes Through Sirens and Hope

The time is now 4:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Regional Impacts, the city of Jerusalem is shown as a community moving forward after a month of war. The Jerusalem Marathon finished along Sderot Ben Zvi near Sacher Park in a moment that felt almost abrupt, with the road flattening and runners pushing through heavy legs as volunteers and spectators offered encouragement in Hebrew and English: you can do it, just a little more. Finishing lines drew reunions with loved ones, even as officials had postponed the race to the latest possible date amid a conflict that many described as a Second Iran War. Rocket sirens had turned routine runs into shelter calculations, sleep schedules collapsed, and reserve duty orders arrived in waves. Race morning outside the Jerusalem Gate Hotel began in darkness at 5:30 a.m., and runners moved toward Sacher Park with quiet, revealing conversations, including a 21-year-old participant who spoke to the gravity of a city still learning how to test endurance in times of sirens and uncertainty. Separately, an American journalist, Shelly Kittleson, described being abducted in broad daylight in Baghdad by a pro-Iran militia, subjected to beatings, with broken ribs, blindfolded and shackled, moved between vehicles and cells, and kept from medical care until her release.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Hezbollah yesterday claimed responsibility for five attacks against Israel, the latest a drone strike on an Israeli armored vehicle. Since the start of the ceasefire, Hezbollah has asserted responsibility for sixteen attacks against Israel, a tally noted as authorities consider responses and regional ramifications of the ongoing conflict.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, Moroccan lawyer Faical Oumerzoug filed a complaint over an Israel flag burning in Rabat, saying protest videos showed hate speech, antisemitic slogans and incitement against Jews, and urging authorities to investigate alleged foreign links to Iran, Hezbollah and other groups.
