Israeli jets strike Tyre-Sidon coast
Imad killed on Khardali Nabtiya road
Beaufort move frames northern campaign

The time is now 5:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Regional Impacts, Israeli fighter jets are currently striking along the coast between Tyre and Sidon. The attacks are described as ongoing along that coastal stretch.

In the the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Lebanese sources identify the senior officer killed in this morning’s Israeli strike on the Khardali-Nabtiya road as Imad, a senior officer equivalent to a brigadier general, and note that Sam Sabra is the commander of Sector 4 in the Lebanese Army’s 7th Brigade, based in Marjayoun. The Lebanese army also reports that several soldiers, including an officer, were killed when a military vehicle was struck on the Khardali-Nabtiya road in southern Lebanon. The officer identified as Imad is reported to have held that rank. Observers say the timing could complicate negotiations with Lebanon, especially after a presidential interview.

In Uplifting News, Amir Tsarfati posted a Shabbat message urging people to turn down the volume of the news and turn up the volume of God’s Word, saying this may be a time when much will not make sense, but stressing this is not the first season the world has faced such moments. A symbolic move over the Beaufort area is being used to frame the northern campaign, even as it carries the weight of Lebanon entanglement, disputed aims, and ongoing bereavement that underline a cycle of repeated war. A feature on the Israel Film Center Festival highlights two Israeli titles in the lineup, including Oxygen, which follows a mother who sacrifices all to keep her soldier son breathing.
