Daily US-Israel talks to curb Iran enrichment
IDF kills Radwan commander in Beirut
Gaza strike wounds Azzam al-Hayya

The time is now 8:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the United States and Israel are in constant contact, with him speaking with President Trump almost daily, and there is full coordination with no surprises. He added that they share common goals, and the most important goal is the removal of enriched material from Iran and the dismantling of Iran’s enrichment capabilities.

In Regional Impacts, a Gaza strike seriously wounded Azzam al-Hayya, the son of Hamas leader Khalil al-Haya, according to Al Jazeera reporting; a senior military source told Maariv that al-Hayya’s death is not of interest to Israel, and if he was harmed it was because he was somewhere he should not have been. He was not targeted for belonging to Hamas’s Nukhba, but was nearby one of the terrorists eliminated in the Daraj Tuffah area. Separately, ASEAN leaders gathering in Cebu are expected to focus on energy and food security as the Middle East crisis strains fuel imports for Southeast Asia’s economy. Philippine officials say energy and food security are top priorities, and leaders will coordinate a regional response while trying to cushion the economic fallout, with regional concerns including Myanmar’s civil conflict and a border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia also on the horizon.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the IDF has struck targets in the Dahieh district of Beirut and eliminated the Radwan Force commander within Hezbollah, according to reports. Prime Minister Netanyahu, with Defense Minister Israel Katz, said the operation targeted the Radwan commander in Beirut to eliminate him, noting that the Radwan group has fired on Israeli communities and attacked IDF soldiers and that no terrorist has immunity; the long arm of Israel will reach every enemy and murderer, with security for northern residents the stated aim. In the same period, the IDF says an Israeli soldier was severely wounded in a Hezbollah explosive drone attack in southern Lebanon and was evacuated to a hospital in serious condition; interceptor missiles were launched at several rockets and suspected drones over areas where Israeli troops are deployed, with the results of the interceptions still under review.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, a New York City speaker said they were deeply disturbed by the hateful rhetoric heard last night outside Park East Synagogue. Calls for the destruction of Israel and the glorification of Hezbollah are horrific, intimidating, and fuel the flames of antisemitism.
