Iran fires missiles at Israel truce stalls
Trump says Iran deal near restraint urged
Online antisemitism Promised 3,000 Years Ago resurges

The time is now 8:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Iran fired a volley of missiles at Israel Sunday night, sending roughly 10 missiles at northern Israel around 10 p.m. in retaliation for an Israeli strike on Beirut’s Dahiyeh district earlier in the day. No Israelis were hurt. Israel initially vowed to respond, but US President Donald Trump urged restraint, telling Prime Minister Netanyahu not to retaliate in order to keep truce negotiations with Tehran on track. The attack marks the first against Israel since the April ceasefire, which halted a month of rocket fire linked to the broader tensions with Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Reports from Axios and others describe Trump weighing the situation by asking Netanyahu to hold fire while talks with Iran continue, suggesting a deal may be close; Netanyahu reportedly agreed, though he reiterated calls for strikes against Iran. Trump has publicly said Netanyahu will have to accept any deal the US negotiates with Iran and that the Iranian strikes will not derail the negotiations. US officials have said the White House did not authorize the Beirut strike, and Trump has suggested the crisis will not derail the talks, with various outlets noting that discussions remain focused on avoiding a wider clash while pursuing a potential agreement.

In Iranian Retaliation, WATCH: President Trump on Mojtaba Khamenei: "I don't want to say whether or not I know where he is, but there's a good probability that I do... He's very seriously injured."

In US Policy Concerning Israel, Trump described the blockade on Iran as extremely effective, saying Iran is losing $4-500 million a day and that the United States has the ultimate blockade. He said the deal with Iran is very close, with Iran conceding that it will not have nuclear weapons. When asked if any Iranian assets should be unblocked or sanctions lifted up front, the answer was no. During a phone conversation, Trump reportedly asked Netanyahu not to respond to the missile attack and to wait a few days for negotiations, indicating that something good in terms of a deal was close; Netanyahu reportedly agreed, though he reiterated his call for strikes against Iran. Trump has repeatedly said he calls the shots and that Netanyahu will be forced to accept any deal the United States negotiates with Iran, arguing that the Iranian strikes will not affect the deal. Other reporting notes that the White House did not give a green light to the Beirut strike, and Trump has stressed that these events should not derail the negotiations. Speaking to the Financial Times, Trump asserted that the deal is not being derailed by Iran’s strikes and that Netanyahu will be compelled to accept whatever agreement the US reaches with Tehran.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, Israel halts humanitarian aid to Gaza until further notice, with COGAT saying all Gaza crossings are closed due to the security situation and Iranian missile fire, though authorities noted that large food deliveries since the ceasefire should prevent a humanitarian impact.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, a new online trend labeled “Promised 3,000 Years Ago” revives antisemitic stereotypes in gym culture, with fitness influencers portraying Jews as greedy, dishonest, aggressive, and money-obsessed. The CyberWell NGO report highlights how posters use attached rope around the head to mimic sidelocks and accompany antisemitic captions, turning harmful stereotypes into seemingly casual content. The report warns that such posts and the comment sections normalize antisemitism in online communities and amplify hateful rhetoric.
