Iran fires warning shots at Hormuz ships
US tankers limit Tel Aviv airport operations
Israel strikes Khan Younis after Gaza attacks

The time is now 4:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Iranian Retaliation, the Iranian Navy fired warning shots at four vessels attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz. Some channels aligned with the Shiite axis claim four American-flag merchant ships were attacked by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps after attempting to pass Hormuz without Iranian permission. There have been reports of explosions and possible missile launches toward the Strait from the Bushehr Province in southern Iran. Another report described an explosion in the Strait of Hormuz as Iranian warning attacks against four ships that sought to pass through without Iranian approval.

In US Military Role, Ben-Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv is operating at about one-third of its capacity because of the presence of US refueling aircraft, with space and resources being consumed by American planes restricting roughly 70 percent of activity at the airport. Dozens of US tanker planes are based there, and the airport authority warns that cancellations could be announced this summer as foreign carriers may not return soon. The authority has logged losses of about 700 million shekels in the past two months, with potential losses rising if the situation persists.

In Regional Impacts, nighttime Israeli strikes in Gaza followed attacks in Shati and Deir al-Balah; the Israeli military said it then struck in the northwest Khan Younis area in the southern Gaza Strip, with no evacuation warning issued.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, reports outline what each side would gain if the Iranian-American framework agreement is approved, noting gains and exceptions. Iran would gain temporary removal of sanctions on oil sales and an end to the war in Lebanon, while the United States would gain Iranian commitments not to produce nuclear weapons and to address the enriched uranium on Iranian soil. Analysts say the big test would come after 60 days if a memorandum of understanding is reached.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, former IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot said Israel must come up with a realistic plan to draft the haredim into the army, citing a manpower shortage and the figures of 37,000 deserters and 45,000 draft evaders. He emphasized service for everyone, even at the cost of additional elections, and noted a private meeting with Degel Hatorah leader Moshe Gafni and discussions about coalition options with haredi parties. In the same topic, an opinion piece argues that Israel cannot be secure or democratic without justice for all, criticizing inequality rooted in national-religious identity and arguing against pursuing a restrictive notion of justice.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, a Jerusalem real estate investment event led by Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion in Manhattan is set to be protested outside a Manhattan hotel by anti-Israel activists. PAL-Awda NY/NJ says the Jerusalem expo, titled Jerusalem. Your Home. Your Future, focuses on Jerusalem real estate and is accused of promoting illegal real estate and settlers, with about 1,000 participants expected. In Rome, Keshet Italia was banned from participating in the Rome Pride parade for not denouncing Israeli actions in Gaza; Roma Pride said the exclusion was necessary because they view Israel as conducting genocide, while Keshet Italia and Keshet Europe argued the action targets the Jewish LGBTQ community and criticized the organizers for conflating government policy with individuals.
