Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - Update from 2026-06-12 at 01:01

HEADLINES
- Strikes near Hormuz halted by Trump deal
- Jalveer attacked off Oman third tanker hit
- Netanyahu backs Trump Iran framework

The time is now 1:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In US Military Role, American forces conducted strikes near the Strait of Hormuz with precision munitions from the US Air Force and Navy fighter jets, CENTCOM said, as part of renewed actions in the region following earlier strikes. Iranian media reported that a drinking water reservoir near the strait was damaged, cutting water to about 20,000 residents and showing images of the destroyed facility and fragments believed by CNN to be from a US bomb. The strikes came as CENTCOM posted that it had used precision munitions in operations near the strait. Separately, NBC, citing US officials, reported the US military was three hours from striking Iran when President Trump announced a deal had been reached and a planned attack was canceled; officials said the strikes would have been very similar to those that occurred on Wednesday, and that Kharg Island was not on the target list, though planning to strike or invade Kharg had existed for months. The US had last struck Kharg Island in April, targeting military infrastructure including air defenses.

In Regional Impacts, US jets fired two Hellfire missiles into the engine room of the Jalveer off Oman on Thursday, CENTCOM confirmed, with the 20 crew members said to be safe and evacuated in coordination with the Royal Navy of Oman. This marks the third strike on Indian-crewed tankers this week, following a strike on the Settebello off Oman that killed three Indian sailors a day earlier. CENTCOM said the Jalveer, a Guinea-Bissau flagged tanker, was targeted after it “attempted to transport oil from Iran through the Gulf of Oman” and that the crew had repeatedly failed to comply with directions. An Indian shipping ministry official said the crew were safe and being evacuated in coordination with authorities, while India’s foreign ministry spokesman called for an end to further attacks. Authorities noted this was the third Indian-crewed tanker hit in the week.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, PM NETANYAHU’S OFFICE said President Trump spoke this evening with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the memorandum of understanding being formulated with Iran as a framework for entering negotiations. Although Israel is not a party to the memorandum of understanding, the Prime Minister expressed his appreciation for President Trump’s commitment that the final agreement resulting from the negotiations will include the removal of enriched nuclear material, the dismantling of enrichment infrastructure, limits on missile production, and an end to Iran's support for its terrorist proxies in the region.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, the debate over Torah Study law intensifies as a preliminary passage of Basic Law: Torah Study is described by critics as one of the ugliest moments in the Knesset’s history for dressing political surrender in sacred language. The bill passed in preliminary reading by 56 votes to 43, with several lawmakers breaking ranks; the original version reportedly sought to equate the status of long-term Torah learners with that of IDF soldiers, a move that was later scaled back, though critics say the remaining wording still elevates power and funding over principle. Separately, Editor's Notes observes that the High Court ruling on women in tanks deepens the religious divide in the IDF. The army has been ordered to launch a pilot program by November to examine integrating female combat soldiers into the Armored Corps, while 12 hesder yeshivot publicly stated that service under such conditions is prohibited by halacha, a number later rising to 25; the IDF says no proposal would put men and women in the same framework, highlighting a dilemma where a small number of female soldiers each year sits against broader institutional tensions.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, Seinfeld laughs at a streamer asking him to say “Free Palestine” after Knicks win: “It doesn’t exist.” Jerry Seinfeld brushed off the request outside Madison Square Garden, replying with that line as the exchange circulated on X and drew attention to ongoing public discussions involving Jewish public figures and pro-Palestinian advocacy. Seinfeld has been outspoken in support of Israel since October 7, 2023, including a December 2023 visit to Israel and meetings with families of hostages; the moment highlighted the continuing tension surrounding public commentary on Israel and Palestine.

In Uplifting News, the annual Tel Aviv Pride Parade will take place as planned on Friday despite security concerns tied to the broader regional tensions. Israel Police said more than 1,000 officers, including undercover and Border Police personnel, and volunteers would be deployed to ensure safety during the event. The parade is scheduled from about 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., beginning on Shalag Street near Gordon Beach and traveling along the city’s promenade to Charles Clore Park. For the parade, numerous streets will be closed to traffic starting at 6:30 a.m., including Rokach Boulevard westbound, Hayarkon Street southbound and other segments, as well as streets such as Herbert Samuel, Yehezkel Kaufman, Nahum Goldmann, Eilat, Eliphelet, and Derekh Shalma, with closures extending across adjacent service roads.
