Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - August 16, 2026, 05 PM Eastern

Updates from the northern front: A senior Hezbollah commander, Abu Hassan Alaa, has been eliminated, and Israeli forces are intensifying operations around the Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah's underground infrastructure. In East Jerusalem, UNRWA alleges the Jerusalem Municipality has taken over its facilities in the Shuafat refugee camp, a claim the municipality denies. The US reiterates that Hezbollah's disarmament is crucial for stability along the Lebanon-Israel border and blames the group for Lebanon's woes. We also cover Israeli domestic politics, including Likud primaries and election initiatives, alongside international developments and a warning about Iranian phishing campaigns targeting Israeli journalists.
