The time is now 10:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Iranian Retaliation, Iran threatens a response after Israel strikes Hezbollah’s Dahieh, officials warn more may follow. Israeli officials say the Beirut strike is shaping a new security doctrine against Hezbollah, while Iran threatens a response and a diplomat tells Fox News the attack was a clear attempt to undermine a US-Iran memorandum.

In Regional Impacts, Hamas takes responsibility, praises reported shooting of IDF officer during West Bank op. Hamas on Sunday praised the reported shooting of an IDF non-commissioned officer during an operation to arrest a suspect in Dhahiriya, near Hebron. The NCO was lightly wounded, according to KAN News, and Hamas said it was responsible, saluting the fighters who confront the occupier. The group tied the event to Israel’s actions in Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem and called Palestinians in the West Bank and east Jerusalem to escalate resistance in all its forms to respond to the occupation’s crimes with painful operations that will disrupt its calculations and thwart its plans.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, IDF strikes Hezbollah command centers in Beirut's Dahiyeh, hours before signing of US-Iran deal. The IDF is conducting strikes in the Dahiyeh district of Beirut in response to Hezbollah fire into Israeli territory, with Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz confirming. The strikes targeted a Hezbollah command center in Dahiyeh used to advance terrorist attacks against the citizens of the State of Israel and IDF soldiers operating in southern Lebanon; Israeli media reported the center housed Hezbollah’s communication systems chief, and the outcome of the attack is not yet clear. The IDF notified CENTCOM shortly before conducting the strike. Iranian parliament speaker and chief negotiator Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf responded, saying the strikes indicate that “America either lacks the will to fulfill its commitments or the ability to do so.” Separately, Israel carried out a targeted assassination on a vehicle in Tyre, southern Lebanon.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, Trump’s Iran deal may be worse than Obama’s, former Netanyahu security adviser says - opinion. Former Netanyahu National Security Advisor Jacob Nagel warns Trump that a weak Iran deal could rescue Tehran’s regime and be remembered as worse than Obama’s. He notes that public statements suggest we are approaching the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the US and Iran, but until the document is released, its contents remain uncertain; in his view, people will interpret it in varied ways depending on undisclosed understandings or side agreements. The debate will focus on what the agreement contains and what it does not address. The discussion centers on whether the deal would reshape the region or entrench risks, and how leaders will be remembered in relation to Tehran’s nuclear and regional capabilities. You won’t have to wait long before hearing that Israel is trying to sabotage the deal. Just remember who decided to launch explosive drones first.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, The Lancet publishes call to suspend Israeli Medical Association from global medical body. The Lancet published a petition by health organizations calling for suspending the Israeli Medical Association from the World Medical Association over accusations of failing to speak out against Palestinian suffering. The World Medical Association says it stands against excluding any of its members, arguing that excluding members diminishes the ability to call out injustices. The British Medical Association had suspended ties with the IMA in June 2025. The WMA Congress will meet in Rotterdam in October to consider the petition, as stakeholders debate ethics and representation within international medical organizations. On this day in history: Russian Tsarist forces start Bialystok Pogrom, killing at least 70 Jews. On June 14, 1906, at least 70 Jewish people were killed and about 90 injured in a three-day pogrom in Bialystok, a major Jewish population center in the Russian Empire. The slaughter became the bloodiest incident of that year, reflecting long-standing antisemitic violence in the region.
