Iran to respond to US peace proposal
IDF soldiers wounded as Hezbollah drones strike
Israel security system disabled leaving towns blind

The time is now 2:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Iranian Retaliation, CNN reports Iran is expected to respond today to the United States' proposal to end the war.

In US Military Role, President Trump framed the length of the operation "Angry Fury" in Iran as about six weeks, calling it a "trip" that would last six weeks, compared with wars that lasted years.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, one IDF soldier was seriously injured and three others lightly injured after an explosive drone strike in southern Lebanon; the soldiers were evacuated to a hospital and their families notified. Earlier, two other soldiers were wounded when Hezbollah launched explosive drones and rockets at troops operating in southern Lebanon; two explosive drones detonated near the soldiers, leaving one lightly wounded and one severely wounded. The IDF also intercepted a hostile aircraft before it could cross into Israeli territory.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, Northern officials say the Home Front Command disabled a vital system used to identify expected impact zones, leaving communities 'operationally blind' during Hezbollah fire amid security leak concerns.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, an editorial discusses Jewish resilience in New York in the face of antisemitism; it notes demonstrations near Jewish synagogues and homes tied to Israel and the Gaza war, including a planned Israeli real-estate exposition at the Park East Synagogue. It cautions that while criticism of Israel and peaceful protests are legitimate, targeting Jewish communal spaces crosses a line and draws Jews into conflicts by identity.

In Uplifting News, Reuters reports the first humanoid robotic monk in South Korea made its debut at Jogye temple in Seoul ahead of Buddha's Birthday. Gabi, about 130 cm tall, wore a traditional gray and brown Buddhist monk robe and stood before the monks, declaring it would dedicate itself to Buddhism.
