Iran rejects dismantling facilities, 30-day talks
Hezbollah FPV Drone Strikes Iron Dome
London Man Charged Over Enfield Antisemitic Attack

The time is now 4:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In Iranian Retaliation, Tehran reportedly rejected dismantling its nuclear facilities and proposed negotiating uranium issues over the next 30 days while gradually reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran’s stance was echoed by Ebrahim Zolfaghari, the spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, who warned that if the enemy attacks Iran again, they will be surprised by new weapons, war methods, and battlefields, and noted that Iran’s light submarines are operating in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz in line with threats and needs.

In Regional Impacts, sirens were heard at Kibbutz Dan.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Hezbollah released footage showing a First-Person View drone strike on an Iron Dome battery along the northern border, a video the IDF did not publicly contest though unofficial sources could not dispute the footage. The report notes that FPV drones, operated manually with special cables, have challenged the IDF’s jamming and tracking defenses, and that despite recent improvements against conventional drones, the FPV threat has complicated defense planning. Separately, Hezbollah’s response to the killing of its Radwan chief Ahmad Ghaleb Balout on May 6 was comparatively restrained, with only limited rocket and drone activity toward northern Israel, underscoring reported Israeli advantages in the conflict dynamics.

In the US Policy Concerning Israel, President Trump wrote that Iran has been “laughing at the US for 47 years” and said they would be laughing no longer, criticizing past administrations and signaling expectations ahead of a possible conversation with Prime Minister Netanyahu; he alleged Iran has caused casualties and suppression at home, and noted Iran’s peace proposal response had been delivered to Pakistan and then to the US, with the White House not yet issuing a formal reply. The White House responded with a parallel line, stating that “they will laugh no longer,” reinforcing the administration’s framing of the issue.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, a London man was charged with assault and religiously aggravated offenses after an attack on three Jewish residents in Enfield. The victims — a 53-year-old woman, a 58-year-old man, and a 26-year-old man — sustained injuries not requiring medical treatment. The Met said it would work closely with the Jewish community to ensure safety, and a Community Protection Team of 100 officers was being established to safeguard the community.

In Uplifting News, Abe Foxman, longtime head of the Anti-Defamation League, died at 86. He led the ADL from 1987 to 2015 and wrote several books on antisemitism, earning recognition as a moral voice in defending the Jewish people and Israel. His funeral services are to be held in New York. Foxman’s career began after surviving the Holocaust, moving to the United States in 1950, and rising through higher education at the Yeshiva University, the City College of New York, and NYU Law. Also in Vienna, Israel’s Eurovision contestant Noam Bettan was greeted by cheering fans on the turquoise carpet as the country prepared for the 70th Eurovision Song Contest, with live events scheduled across May 12, 14, and 16. Bettan appeared relaxed and optimistic as security provided by the delegation’s team accompanied the welcome, following concerns about a prior incident in Basel.
