Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - Update from 2026-05-17 at 18:02
HEADLINES
Israel-Iran airspace clashes leave skies empty
Hormuz crisis escalates 44 incidents 10 dead
IHH flotilla nears Gaza to breach blockade
The time is now 6:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, the airspace between Tehran and Israel is almost empty.
In Regional Impacts, in a small office near Portsmouth, three UKMTO watchkeepers field distress calls from ships in the Gulf as Iran tightens control of the Strait of Hormuz, where 44 incidents and 10 deaths have already been recorded.
In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the Saudi Ministry of Defense says three drones entering Saudi airspace from Iraq were intercepted earlier today, and the ministry reserves the right to respond at the appropriate time and place.
In US Policy Concerning Israel, President Donald J. Trump has already met with his National Security Team on Iran yesterday, and plans for a Tuesday meeting remain on track.
In Israeli Domestic Politics, a Turkish flotilla of 53 vessels organized by the IHH is en route to Israel as part of the Global Sumud Flotilla and is expected to reach within 48 hours; Prime Minister Netanyahu is set to hold an operational meeting with senior defense officials after a preliminary security consultation on Sunday; the flotilla includes Hamas supporters and aims to breach the Gaza naval blockade, following a prior flotilla in which vessels were intercepted and participants deported; ten Israeli civilians crossed the border into Syria and the IDF returned all of them to Israeli territory, handing them over to police for further processing.
In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, London’s Metropolitan Police has had the main sign of the Nova Music Festival Exhibition removed at the request of police due to fears of antisemitism and terrorism, after authorities sought to minimize early exposure of the exhibition’s exact location to prevent protests or security incidents around the site.
In Uplifting News, Beitar Jerusalem and Hapoel Beersheba won their away games at Bloomfield Stadium, keeping the championship race tight with two games left; Beitar Jerusalem’s Timoti Muzie scored the late winner in a 2-1 victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv, leaving Beitar two points behind Beersheba with two matches to play.
Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.
