Trump vows Iran retaliation as missiles surface
Israel Lebanon talks open with productive start
West Bank rock attack sparks IDF manhunt

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 Iranian Retaliation, President Trump said he hopes Iran is watching and that “we know exactly what they put up.” He said they had a little respite and are trying to get a few things together, that they’ve taken some missiles from underground, and that it will all be gone in one day, including everything they’ve done for the last four weeks.

In Regional Impacts, the IDF said three terrorists were hurling rocks at Israeli vehicles near the West Bank village of Al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya. Troops from the 636th Combat Intelligence Collection Battalion exchanged fire, killing one masked suspect and injuring another, while a military pursuit was launched to locate the two remaining attackers. Last month, a 5-year-old child was wounded by shards of glass after a rock-throwing attack on Highway 60 shattered the windshield of his car, and the military said it was reviewing the Madama area to locate the suspect responsible.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the third round of Israel-Lebanon peace talks got off to a productive and positive start on the first day, with eight hours of discussions at the US State Department in Washington and plans to meet again Friday. An Israeli official had said the talks would seek a framework for an agreement in greater depth. The negotiations marked the first time military representatives attended, and the effort is led by US mediators including the ambassador to Israel and aides, while Israel’s delegation was led by the Israeli ambassador to the United States and included senior military planners.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, northern border towns are pressing for more funds as the government prepares a 5 billion shekel recovery budget. The administration had previously pledged 12 billion shekels for regional rehabilitation, and KKL-JNF will provide an immediate allocation of 145 million shekels for development in the area.

In Uplifting News, Secretary Rubio said there is $100 million of food and medicine available for the Cuban people right now, and the only reason it isn’t reaching them is because of the Cuban regime.
