The time is now 11:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Regional Impacts, Lebanese health authorities report 22 people killed in Lebanon in the past 24 hours, bringing the total to 3,111 dead and 9,432 injured since the start of the current round of fighting. Britain, Italy, France, Germany, Canada, Australia and New Zealand urged Israel to halt the expansion of settlements in the West Bank and to curb growing settler violence, saying the situation has deteriorated in recent months and that the policies and practices of the Israeli government, including further entrenchment of Israeli control, undermine stability and prospects for a two-state solution. The joint statement also called on Prime Minister Netanyahu’s coalition to hold settlers to account for violence against Palestinians and to investigate allegations of abuse by Israeli forces, noting that historic status quo arrangements govern the area. A Pakistan armed forces plane is en route to Iran.

In the conflict with Iran and its regional proxies, Israeli officials reported that three of the five attacks Hezbollah claimed responsibility for up to now were carried out by the group’s new Ababil explosive drones, with the Israeli military spokesperson noting several interceptions of Hezbollah launches today.
