This is Israel Today Ongoing War Report. We begin with escalating regional tensions: Iran has launched a drone attack on U.S. bases in Kuwait, while reports indicate Russia is supplying Iran with critical electronic intelligence. U.S. planning against Iran's nuclear sites is reportedly accelerating, as Iran threatens regional energy infrastructure. Domestically, southern Israeli community leaders are pushing back against proposed troop reductions near the Gaza border, warning of security risks. Meanwhile, IDF strikes continue in Gaza following evacuation warnings. In economic news, the Greater Tel Aviv congestion charge project is slated for a 2028 launch. We also feature a story of international humanitarianism, with an Israeli doctor saving a baby's life in Rwanda, and cover diplomatic tensions between Israel and Spain over the migrant crisis.
