Israel Dismantles Hezbollah Launchers From Morning Attack
Sharon Attack Triggers Death Penalty Pledge
New Authority to Oversee Veteran Trauma Benefits

The time is now 8:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the IDF says it dismantled the launchers used by Hezbollah to carry out the morning rocket attack on northern Israel. The military also reports that it has eliminated two Hezbollah FPV drone operators. Journalist Amih Segal reports that fighters from the Givati Brigade killed two Hezbollah explosive-drone operators and captured an explosive drone and weapons.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, a government committee chaired by Professor Shlomo Mor Yosef issued its first report calling for radical changes to how 50,000 emotional trauma cases from former IDF soldiers are handled, recommending the creation of a nearly independent authority to oversee benefits and treatment, with the milestone of 100,000 wounded projected for 2028 moving forward given ongoing conflicts. Lahav 433 is questioning the director general of an undisclosed ministry and two senior officials over fraud, with no names released by police. In response to the deadly Sharon terror attack, Prime Minister Netanyahu praised the police for killing the attacker and capturing his accomplice, and warned of harsh penalties for terrorists; National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said the death penalty would be applied if the attacker is captured alive. Ultra-Orthodox protesters blocked Jerusalem’s Tunnel Checkpoint, with border police deployed at the scene. A separate development sees a suspect arrested in connection with the Sharon attack; during the arrest the suspect tried to stab officers, and investigators say a person involved sought help in hiding. At the cabinet opening, Netanyahu said security forces have achieved significant gains in Gaza and Lebanon and pledged that Israel will not permit firing into its territory or settlements, promising action as needed; he cited reports that forces in Lebanon killed hundreds of militants and uncovered a large underground network.
