The time is now 11:02 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, Iran and its militias have carried out more than 800 attacks on the Kurdistan Region of Iraq since February 28, when the United States and Israel began strikes on Iran. Iran has continued its attacks on the Kurdistan Region even as Iraq’s new prime minister-designate Ali al-Zaidi met with regional officials in Erbil on May 2, seeking to moderate Tehran’s influence; Zaidi is under pressure from the United States to rein in Iranian-backed militias, and Iran has signaled support for him. The United States says there have been more than 600 attacks on US forces and US diplomatic sites in Iraq since February 28, including in Baghdad and the Kurdistan Region, where a large US consulate operates. Iran has also continued attacks on Kurdish Iranian opposition groups in the Kurdistan Region, with Rudaw reporting on May 6 that bases and positions belonging to Komala Toilers of Kurdistan, an Iranian Kurdish opposition group, in the Kurdistan Region have come under attack.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, The Jerusalem Post’s must-listen news roundup hosted by Shifra Jacobs highlights the top stories, including the headline Rubio says Roaring Lion is over, Haredim boycott Rami Levy over flights.
