The time is now 1:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Regional Impacts, two tanker incidents are reported. Iran struck another tanker vessel with drones and missiles, causing damage to the ship’s bridge. The vessel was transiting through the US-approved Omani alternative route, which the IRGC does not agree with. Separately, a British tanker was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz on its way from Qatar to the UAE.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, early reports indicate that Israel has conducted an airstrike, likely against Lebanese Hezbollah targets and infrastructure in Nabatieh al-Fawqa in Southern Lebanon. More to come.

In Uplifting News, rescue operations are under way after two girls were reportedly swept away in the Jordan River near Lahavot HaBashan after a third friend entered the water; one girl managed to reach shore and alerted authorities as divers prepare to search the riverbed. Venezuela said 1,600 foreign rescuers arrived to aid the search for survivors of the twin earthquakes that have killed more than 900 people and left more than 54,000 missing, with 10 more countries to join and 25 additional flights expected in the next 24 hours, while 14,000 military and police are patrolling La Guaira. Separately, a travel piece describes visiting Rome’s old Jewish Ghetto, noting that entering the area feels like Tel Aviv-on-Tiber and highlighting Rome’s Jewish population of about 13,500 as locals and visitors enjoy the evening passeggiata.
