Mossad weaponizes Hezbollah beepers to cripple rockets
Hebron Hamas cell thwarted at last moment
Iranian-led plot to target German Jewry

The time is now 1:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Regional Impacts, alarms were sounded in Manara as a Hamas cell was exposed in Hebron and authorities said the attack was thwarted at the last moment. A seven-year-old girl fell from a fourth floor in Tel Aviv and is in critical condition. The report also notes a senior figure who was reportedly struck by a bucket of sewage in an incident linked to the Netanyahu government. The coverage cites a Ben Kaspi source describing what Hezbollah had been trying to hide, and includes commentary tied to Noam Betan’s Eurovision appearance.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Inside Israel’s secret operation to turn Hezbollah’s beepers into bombs - exclusive, new disclosures from an insider known as Adam Feyn portray Mossad’s effort against Hezbollah. The account describes how a fleet of beepers was used to cripple Hezbollah’s rocket force, how an operative was lured into an ambush to prevent exposure, how close Iran came to uncovering the plot, how hard it was to gain Hezbollah’s trust, and how third parties were drawn into the operation and later assisted to make amends.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, Mai Golan responds to the Israeli ambassador to the United States, saying her remarks were taken out of context and that the ambassador has shown appreciation for her global public diplomacy work, including efforts to mobilize Jewish communities in the United States in support of Israel’s interests. The section also reports that the IDF questioned a suspect in an attempted hit-and-run in the West Bank, detaining the vehicle and transferring the suspect to security forces for questioning. A related incident near Ofra the day before involved an argument between an Israeli and a Palestinian driver, an alleged pepper-spray confrontation, and authorities stopping a vehicle matching the description of the car used in the attempted ramming.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, two men were indicted for a plot to assassinate German Jewish leaders on behalf of Iran. Danish national Ali S. and Afghan national Tawab M. face charges including espionage, espionage for sabotage purposes, and attempted participation in murder and arson. The case alleges Ali S. worked for Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps intelligence service and was in close contact with its Quds Force, including plans to gather information on Jewish shops in Berlin for possible arson and to coordinate an attack on leaders of German Jewry.
