23-year-old IDF sergeant killed by Hezbollah drone
Senators warn new Iran deal harms Israel
Right-wing protests erupt outside IDF chief's home

The time is now 10:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Noam Hamburger, 23, from Atlit, a sergeant (ret.) serving as a technology and maintenance fighter in the 9th Battalion of the 401st Brigade, was killed yesterday by a Hezbollah explosive drone strike on an IDF position inside Israeli territory.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, senior US Republican senators criticized the terms of the emerging Iran deal being negotiated to end the war with Tehran. They warned that the agreement could leave Iran in a stronger regional position, with Senator Lindsey Graham describing a deal that preserves Iran as a “nightmare for Israel.” Former secretary of state Mike Pompeo also weighed in, comparing the terms to the 2015 Iran deal and saying it would let Tehran terrorize the world as talks proceeded toward a memorandum of understanding.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, dozens of right-wing protesters gathered outside the home of IDF Chief of Staff Lieutenant-General Eyal Zamir in the Sharon region after a soldier wearing a "Messiah" patch was jailed following Zamir’s visit to the guard post. The protesters waved Israeli flags, played loud music, and held signs reading "traitor, enemy of Israel." Opposition leader Yair Lapid commented that the incident reflected incitement by government members against the IDF. Former prime minister Naftali Bennett blamed the government for promoting such rhetoric and for attacking the chief of staff and other security officials. Yashar! party chairman and former IDF chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot also criticized the situation, calling the outside calls a red line and a warning for national unity.
