Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - Update from 2026-05-15 at 12:02

HEADLINES
- IDF Smashes 440 Hezbollah Infrastructures
- Drone Strike Hits Khan Younis Mosque Minaret
- Netanyahu Faces Coalition Crisis as Opposition Rises

The time is now 12:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Regional Impacts, an Israeli drone strike hit the minaret of a mosque in the Al-Mahta neighborhood of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, targeting Hamas terrorists who were surveilling Israeli troops in the area. Arab Gulf states are more eager to work with Israel while Europe holds back, a shift noted by observers who say Europe imported radicalism while the Gulf fights radicalism.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, over the past week the IDF attacked more than 440 Hezbollah infrastructures in southern Lebanon and eliminated more than 220 Hezbollah militants. The army said the daily average was about 62 strikes and 31 militants killed, an increase of roughly 50 percent compared with the previous weeks. The Israeli military also reported a failed attempt to launch a small ground-to-air missile at an Air Force aircraft, and said it intercepted several hostile aerial vehicles after Hezbollah fired drones, explosive devices and unmanned bombs toward Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, with no alerts triggered according to policy. Footage shows a bulldozer constructing a bridge over the Litani River following an Israeli operation near Zawtar in the Nabatieh district to facilitate the movement of armored vehicles and troops north after taking control of areas in southern Lebanon. The scene echoes past remarks by Hezbollah, including a 2024 statement about moving near the Litani. The IDF said it subsequently struck Hezbollah infrastructure in the Sidon area and other locations in southern Lebanon, after an evacuation warning issued earlier today. Five drones were launched toward Israel from Lebanon; one was intercepted and several fell in open territory, described by the IDF as another violation of the ceasefire by Hezbollah.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, the coalition is down and the opposition is stuck, according to a Maariv survey cited by commentator Dr. Menachem Lazar. He says the Bennett-Lapid union has created a sizeable opposition bloc but has not meaningfully shifted the balance among the factions. The analysis warns that the coalition is in trouble, and that figures such as Smotrich, the issue of conscription, and the absence of a clear victory narrative threaten Prime Minister Netanyahu.

In Uplifting News, Shabbat Shalom. Gazans hold mass wedding among ruins. Wearing traditional Palestinian dresses, dozens of brides in white embroidered gowns walked with their grooms past tents and ruined buildings in Gaza City, as songs played from loudspeakers in a city square and thousands gathered to witness couples whose marriages had been delayed by war and displacement. The event, one of several mass weddings held since a ceasefire took effect in Gaza, offered a moment of celebration amid the backdrop of devastation.
