IDF kills Hezbollah commander Ali Musa Daqduq

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

In US Military Role, the threat posture has been described as the highest it has ever been by Secretary Mullin, signaling a security picture of extraordinary tension. There was also a report of a stockpile crisis, but the Secretary of War pushed back, saying there is no crisis and calling the story a manufactured narrative pushed by the media.

In Regional Impacts, US and Iranian officials say they have reached a framework to end their war, halt the US blockade of Iran, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and begin 60 days of talks on Tehran’s nuclear program, with the potential for lower energy prices as oil shipments resume. The international response includes a joint statement from Britain, France, Germany and Italy asserting that Iran must never acquire a nuclear weapon and that they stand ready to work with the US, Iran and the IAEA toward that goal. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that toll-free freedom of navigation must be restored in the Strait of Hormuz and reiterated that Iran must not possess a nuclear weapon.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the Israel Defense Forces announced a precise strike south of the Litani River that killed Ali Musa Daqduq, a senior Hezbollah commander and former head of the group’s Golan network, described as a central figure in planning attacks against Israel. Following that strike, IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir said the military is closely monitoring developments and maintaining a high level of readiness across fronts, with Lebanon identified as Israel’s main center of gravity, and he approved new battle plans for Lebanon. He emphasized the force remains on high alert for a range of scenarios and urged the public to stay vigilant, with no changes to existing defensive guidelines and a firm stance against attacks on Israel.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, former president Trump told the New York Times that Netanyahu nearly derailed the US-Iran agreement and that Netanyahu should be thankful to the United States for reaching the deal, arguing that without a nuclear accord Israel would be at grave risk. The report also notes that the deal to end the war includes discussions on Lebanon and that Trump warned that attacks could resume if negotiations fail. Ambassador Waltz stressed there will be no upfront cash and that verification will be central, with no large loopholes for inspectors. Separately, Prime Minister Netanyahu sent a birthday greeting to the President, praising the enduring US-Israel alliance and wishing continued strength as they pursue peace through strength.
