Iran Near Oil Storage Crunch Amid Blockade
Gaza Flotilla Blocked; Greece Receives Participants
Yehezkeli Joins Yashar to Lead Rehabilitation Plan

The time is now 4:02 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Regional Impacts, Iran could run out of storage capacity for the oil it is producing within 15 to 60 days due to the blockade of its ports. With the blockade in place, Iranian oil tankers have remained at port, and exports that previously accounted for about 85% of the country’s total trade have largely halted. Iran has been forced to store oil onshore and in floating storage aboard Very Large Crude Carriers, as it seeks to manage production while shipments are blocked. Very Large Crude Carriers typically carry about two million barrels of crude oil. A US official described the blockade as “working to perfection,” saying there is no economic trade into or out of Iran. If storage capacity is exhausted, Tehran could face significant economic damage that may take a long time to repair. Separately, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said that Israel, through the IDF, has blocked attempts to breach the lawful naval blockade on Gaza and the arrival of vessels from the provocative flotilla, including last night. All participants taken from the flotilla were removed unharmed, and in coordination with the Greek government those displaced will be disembarked on a Greek beach in the coming hours. The Greek government has expressed willingness to receive the participants, and Israel urged anyone seeking humanitarian aid for Gaza to do so through the BOP. Israel will not allow a breach of the blockade.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Israel’s elite Alpinist Unit continues to operate against Hezbollah. The Alpinists are trained in cold-weather and mountain warfare, with operations focused in northern Israel.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, former Welfare and Social Affairs Ministry official Inbar Yehezkeli joined the Yashar! party list ahead of the upcoming elections and will lead its national rehabilitation plan to address post-trauma victims in the country. The plan aims to establish a comprehensive mental-health treatment system with optimal and accessible care, build resilience, and implement preventive and community-based care to restore individuals affected by the war to full functioning. Yehezkeli, a Jerusalem resident and mother of two who has held a range of roles in government ministries and social organizations, is part of a broader opposition effort seeking to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in elections expected no later than October.

Also in Israeli politics, anonymous notices circulated in ultra-Orthodox communities calling pilgrims heading to Meron to equip themselves with pepper spray and electric-shock devices at designated distribution points to be opened in Jerusalem, Beit Shemesh, and Bnei Brak. The notices indicate the equipment would be used against police in what supporters describe as “police violence,” and authorities urged that the incident be treated seriously.

Beersheba doctor Muhammad Azaam, a Soroka Medical Center physician, has been charged with membership in the Islamic State, or ISIS, after prosecutors said he began consuming ISIS-related content in 2014 and swore allegiance in 2023. Authorities say he gathered materials related to the preparation of poisons and explosives. While investigators found no evidence of direct contact with ISIS leadership, the court described the case as fitting the “inspiration model,” in which individuals act independently. Azaam, originally from Nazareth, is a Beersheba resident who was arrested in 2024; investigators examined his mobile phone contents as part of the case.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, two Green Party candidates in the United Kingdom were arrested on suspicion of stirring up racial hatred after posting antisemitic content online. Candidate Saiqa Ali circulated posts including a photo of a Hamas operative with the slogan “resistance is freedom,” and other material that referenced antisemitic tropes. Another candidate, Sabine Mairey, posted material including an image of a man with a sign suggesting that ramming a synagogue is “revenge,” and additional antisemitic content.
