HEADLINES
Israel strikes Hezbollah, Lebanon at war
Mothers protest as Trump pressures Israel
Frankl quote sustains October 7 survivors

The time is now 2:01 AM 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, Lebanon remains at war, not a ceasefire. Israel carried out strikes against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon this morning.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, Israeli mothers from the Awake Mother movement comprised of mothers of IDF combat soldiers demonstrated this morning outside the IDF Chief of Staff's home against political decisions that endanger the lives of their children serving in Southern Lebanon. The Trump administration is pressing Israel to halt military operations in Southern Lebanon, which turns Israeli soldiers positioned there into sitting ducks for Hezbollah attacks. Many Israelis feel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is too easily giving in to Trump's demands at the cost of Israeli soldiers' lives.

In Uplifting News, Logotherapy emphasizes the importance of a meaning-centered outlook on life to help October 7 survivors and family members work through trauma. Jerusalem author Rachel Goldberg-Polin, whose son Hersh was taken hostage by Hamas on Oct. 7 and later murdered, spoke about Viktor Frankl's famous quote, "He who has a why to live can bear almost any how." She told 60 Minutes' Anderson Cooper how her son drew strength from Man's Search for Meaning and from this quotation. The piece notes conversations that explored not only the origins of the quotation but also why it continues to resonate in turbulent times as researchers in Modi'in meet two leading exponents of logotherapy and discuss its relevance today.
