The time is now 7:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Lebanese authorities say Israel's brutal attacks aim to prevent the return of stability in the region, with the Lebanese Army describing strikes across Lebanon that caused casualties and extensive property damage, including the death of a Lebanese soldier; a senior Hezbollah official told Reuters the group will not allow Israel freedom of movement in what it described as occupied Lebanese territory, while Israeli officials warned that stability between Israel and Lebanon could be achieved if Hezbollah stops violating the ceasefire and noted that Israel struck Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon after the group fired more than 50 projectiles at Israeli soldiers. At least ten people were killed in an Israeli air strike on Arabsalim. Overnight, Hezbollah fired more than 50 rockets at Israeli troops in southern Lebanon, and Israel responded with dozens of strikes on Hezbollah positions. Lebanese channels reported 83 Israeli air raids in Lebanon since the morning — 69 strikes by fighter jets and 14 by drones. Al-Mayadeen Lebanon reported four dead in an Israeli strike on a building in the village of al-Shemar in the Albka’a area. Israeli fighter jets attacked targets in the village of Kanarit in the Sidon district, far from the hot zone in Nabatieh. Hezbollah has published a video showing it uses civilian homes in southern Lebanon as cover and launch pads for missile attacks on Israel.
