You're listening to Israel Today ongoing war report. I'm Noah Levi. We begin with developments in the ongoing conflict with Iran. An Iranian tanker was struck by US forces on Saturday near Iran's key oil export hub of Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf, according to the semi-official Iranian news agency Tasnim. Tasnim reported the tanker was hit by four US missiles and quoted local sources stating there were no casualties, with the crew being evacuated. US Central Command has not yet responded to a request for comment. This incident follows previous US actions and statements concerning the strategically vital Kharg Island. The conflict has also seen further civilian impact. A bombardment in the southern Iranian town of Kewstak on Tuesday evening killed five people at a wedding, including a four-year-old boy and two women. US Vice President J.D. Vance stated that the US is investigating the incident very fully, adding that sometimes things happen. A US weapons expert who reviewed images from the scene suggested the strikes were carried out with

American guided bombs. Kewstak is located about 30 kilometers from Minab, a town previously struck in the war. Meanwhile, reports continue to indicate that American forces are facing munitions shortages. Turning to US policy, the US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee made a significant statement on Saturday concerning safety in the West Bank. During a visit to the Palestinian village of Termis Ayer, Ambassador Huckabee emphasized the Israeli government's responsibility for the safety of West Bank Palestinians, stating they must impose severe consequences for violence. His visit followed a surge in settler attacks in the area where many residents hold US citizenship. Ambassador Huckabee asserted that people in these communities have a right to security and safety, and that perpetrators of violence should face severe consequences, calling such actions to be in Israel's best interest amidst global scrutiny. The Unit News Service reported that the envoy even joked about graffiti aimed at him, saying, at least they spelled my name right.

While he explicitly condemned the violence as terrorism and called for those responsible to face consequences, I'm Noah Levi thanking you for joining us on Israel Today, ongoing war report.
