The time is now 11:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Regional Impacts, the U.K. government says UK airlines are not currently experiencing a jet fuel shortage, despite warnings of low stocks tied to the war in Iran.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Lebanon's prime minister Nawaf Salam accused Israel of war crimes for targeting journalists in southern Lebanon, while the IDF said reports of injured journalists were under review and stressed it was not preventing rescue teams from reaching the area.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, Senator Lindsey Graham said in a post that he spoke with President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth about the way forward in the Iran conflict, praising the decision to keep the blockade in place as smart and noting it is constraining Iran’s ability to sponsor terrorism; he warned countries against aiding Iran's oil distribution, saying they do so at their own peril, and expressed hope diplomacy can change Iran's behavior.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett accidentally revealed the identity of a Shin Bet bodyguard on social media, exposing the guard’s name and picture, which Shin Bet forbids publishing; Bennett was ordered to delete the post, which his office described as a mistake made in good faith, noting it followed another friction-filled episode over Bennett’s real-time location posts with Shin Bet.

In Uplifting News, a Nationwide Bible reading event marks 250 years of scripture in America, organized by Christians Engaged, aims to encourage Americans to return to Scripture, with participants from government, education, business, the arts and the church taking part in the public readings; Eretz Nehederet has reached the end of its season, with the Israeli comedy show closing a season that frequently sent audiences to bomb shelters, featuring the cast alongside former hostage Alon Ohel and a performance of David Broza’s “Under the Sky” as Independence Day celebrations wound down; a light-hearted motto appears in coverage with the line “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade”; and around two thousand people attended an Orthodox Union Israel Independence Day event in Jerusalem, with senior leadership from the organization and attendees from the English-speaking world including Americans, Canadians, Australians and South Africans, as Rabbi Avi Berman praised the country’s prosperity and thanked those who sacrificed for Israel.
