Netanyahu War Not Over Degrade Enrichment
US Lieutenant Remains Recovered After Morocco Rescue
Hezbollah FPV Drone Strikes Iron Dome Battery

The time is now 5:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview with 60 Minutes that “I think it accomplished a great deal, but it’s not over,” noting that enriched material remains, enrichment sites must be degraded more, and Iranian proxies still remain intact. When asked how he envisions resolving the problem of enriched material, Netanyahu said, “You go there and you take it out.”

In Iranian Retaliation, An Iranian source to Tasnim said no one in Iran formulates proposals to please Trump; the negotiation team writes proposals only for the rights of the Iranian people, and if Trump is not satisfied with them, that is probably preferable. Trump, in general, does not like reality, and therefore he loses to Iran again and again.

In US Military Role, According to a release from US Africa Command, the remains of one of the US soldiers who went missing off the coast of Morocco during training exercise African Lion 26 have been recovered. First Lieutenant Lamont Key Jr. has been identified as one of the two missing soldiers, now that his remains have been recovered and identified. He was assigned to Charlie Battery, 5th Battalion, 4th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command. The other, yet unnamed soldier remains missing, following the accident where both went missing following unsuccessful rescue attempts when one soldier fell into the water and others jumped in to rescue them. Per the release, “More than 1,000 US and Moroccan military and civil personnel have been involved in the search operations.”

In Regional Impacts, Mayor Gabi Na’aman of Shlomi spoke about the latest events in the north, including several sirens following fire from Lebanon.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Hezbollah released footage on Sunday night of one of its First-Person View drones striking an Iron Dome battery on the northern border. There was no public comment from the IDF, but unofficial sources could not dispute the video’s authenticity. The incident may have occurred a few days ago, and the IDF has outlined new pilot programs to better identify and shoot down FPV drones, though officials say the force is still working to catch up. The FPV threat, which relies on cables and manual operation to outpace jamming and tracking, has challenged the IDF even as it has improved at shooting down conventional drones since 2024. Former IDF air defense chief Ran Kochav warned that Iron Dome defense remains inadequate against this FPV approach.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, US President Donald Trump called the latest Iranian proposal to end the war “totally unacceptable” on Truth Social, saying he did not like it. Tasnim quoted an Iranian source saying no one in Iran drafts proposals to please Trump and that the negotiation team writes proposals for the rights of the Iranian people; if Trump is not satisfied, that is probably preferable. Reuters, citing a Pakistani official, reported that Pakistani mediators have now received Iran’s response to the US proposal centered on a potential memorandum of understanding between the two countries. US Central Command said that since the beginning of the US blockade of vessels traveling to and from Iranian ports, 61 vessels have been redirected back to Iranian ports or turned away from transiting the Strait of Hormuz, and 4 vessels have been disabled to ensure compliance. President Trump also posted that he had read Iran’s response and found it unacceptable, reiterating his stance on the matter.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, an east London man was charged for assault on three Jewish residents in Enfield. Dylan Ossei, 34, was charged with assault, religiously aggravated assault, threatening behavior to cause fear, religiously aggravated harassment, and threatening behavior to cause harassment after the victims, a 53-year-old woman, a 58-year-old man, and a 26-year-old man, sustained injuries that did not require further medical treatment. The Metropolitan Police said they would work closely with the Jewish community to ensure safety, and they announced the establishment of a Community Protection Team of 100 officers to protect the community.

In Uplifting News, Abe Foxman, a true leader and spokesman for American Jewry, died at age 86. He stood for the immigrant generation that built within the United States, rose within its institutions, and helped shape national Jewish life. Foxman was born in 1940 in Baranovichi (now Belarus), survived the Holocaust as a child, came to the United States in 1950, and studied at the Yeshiva of Flatbush, the City College of New York, and NYU School of Law. He joined the Anti-Defamation League in 1965 and led it from 1987 to 2015, writing four books on antisemitism and shaping the organization’s course for decades.
