You're listening to Israel Today ongoing war report. I'm Noah Levi. We begin with developments concerning Iran. US President Donald Trump has indicated the United States may soon strike Iran's pickaxe mountain. A heavily fortified site near the Natanz uranium enrichment facility. In parallel, the IDF struck Hezbollah targets in Lebanon after the group launched a drone towards Israeli soldiers. An act described by the military as a blatant violation of the ceasefire. These strikes followed an announcement by Defence Minister Israel Katz that the IDF had cleared Hezbollah terrorists from tunnels on Ali Al-Taharij. Meanwhile, Lebanese media reports an escalation of Israeli attacks in Lebanon, detailing strikes in Western Bacar and Southern Lebanon. Turning to the West Bank, IDF Commandos acting on Shin Bet Intelligence captured five Palestinians in Kabatia early Friday who were allegedly planning a terror attack. Soldiers also found weapons and military gear in their homes. A separate counter-terror operation in and around Nablus concluded

after 48 hours with authorities arresting 10 Palestinian suspects and dismantling over 30 lathes used for weapons manufacturing. Alongside seized firearms and ammunition, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu commended the forces for this operation. Looking at broader strategy, the US administration is reportedly developing a post-Aran war plan focused on creating a regional alliance to contain Iran and expand the Abraham Accords. This initiative is in its early stages, with implementation planned after the upcoming Israeli and US elections. The strategy also includes provisions for Hamas disarmament in Gaza and security agreements with Syria and Lebanon. President Trump, meanwhile, referred to the ongoing conflict with Iran as small potatoes. In matters of antisemitism, four Israeli athletes were removed from the city of Derry Triathlon in Northern Ireland, with organizers citing concerns over the representation of the state of Israel amidst pressure linked to the BDS movement.

Separately, Adidas is facing boycott calls online after featuring an IDF veteran injured in the conflict in their Israeli campaign, with critics accusing the company of overlooking amputee children in Gaza. Domestically, yes-attied MK Michal Shur announced she is leaving the party and will not seek re-election, joining a growing number of lawmakers departing yes-attied. In another development, Jafar Farah, Hadash is no. Two Knesset candidate, with drew his candidacy amid sexual harassment allegations, stating his move is to prevent attempts to undermine the joint list.
