    HEADLINESIDF Debuts Ro'em Howitzer in LebanonCivilians Return South as Lebanon Ceasefire HoldsHerzl Statue Vandalized Legs Sawed Hat StolenThe time is now 3:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Regional Impacts, Lebanese civilians forced their way past barriers on the Al-Qasmiya Bridge over the Litani River on Thursday, ignoring warnings by the IDF to refrain from returning south of the river until further notice. Videos circulating on social media show civilians who fled north at the start of Israel's war with Hezbollah attempting to move back south via the Litani's central bridge, which the IDF had not destroyed. The Israel-Lebanon ceasefire went into effect at midnight between Thursday and Friday, a 10-day pause that could be extended by mutual agreement and as Lebanon demonstrates its sovereignty, according to a US State Department press release. How the IDF will respond as residents attempt to return to southern villages remains an open question.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the IDF has operated its Ro'em self-propelled howitzer for the first time, using it in an operation in southern Lebanon. The Ro'em was fired at several Hezbollah anti-tank targets posing a threat to IDF forces, and the firing was declared an operational success that will inform new artillery fire responses while fighting. The system is described as capable of a higher firing rate, longer range, and multi-trajectory delivery to hit targets simultaneously, with mobility and full automation that reduces crew exposure. A senior officer called the event historic, saying it translates to more firepower in less time with less risk to troops.A Lebanese parliamentarian affiliated with Hezbollah, Hassan Haj Hassan, said the ceasefire was imposed on Israel due to clear pressure from Iran, and that Trump yielded to Iranian pressure to force Netanyahu to accept a ceasefire in Lebanon. He urged vigilance, arguing that the enemy has already violated the current ceasefire several times. Separately, Yemen’s Houthi government’s information ministry described the Lebanon ceasefire as a historic victory for Hezbollah and Lebanon, attributed to unity across resisting fronts from Palestine through Iran to Lebanon and Yemen, and asserted heavy losses forced the Israeli side to concede the ceasefire.In the Israeli Domestic Politics section, four Border Police soldiers were disciplined for a barbecue they lit at the Beit Horon base, a move that led to their sentencing to military prison. Protesters gathered outside Prison 10 on Wednesday after the incident, which raised questions about proportionality, military discipline, and religious coercion. Relatives said the base was largely empty after Passover when the act occurred, and the soldiers felt they had not received sufficient food. A duty officer who noticed the barbecue ordered its extinguishing and later filed a complaint; the four were initially sentenced to 21 days in military prison, but the punishment was reduced on appeal to 14 days. A father of one of the soldiers asked, “My daughter feels she was treated like she was nothing. Even if there was a breach of orders, where is the proportionality?” There is also a broader critique from state oversight, as the State Comptroller criticized the Transportation Ministry for its preparedness during the aviation crisis that followed the October 7 conflict. The report found no procedure for prioritizing the return of Israelis stranded abroad based on economy or national needs, even as soldiers and reservists faced delays and high prices to secure flights. The Comptroller praised the Civil Aviation Authority and airlines for continuing to operate, while noting gaps in emergency planning. In political polling, Prime Minister Netanyahu’s coalition remains at 49 seats against a 61-seat opposition majority, according to Maariv, with little movement between blocs. The opposition’s Yeshar! party reportedly lost one seat to the Democrats, and Likud sits at 25 seats with Bennett’s bloc at 24; prime-minister suitability shows Netanyahu leading Bennet in head-to-head questions, while Eisenkot trails in that comparison.In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, unknown individuals vandalized the statue of Theodor Herzl at Mikveh Israel Agricultural School in central Israel on Thursday evening. The vandals sawed off the bronze legs of the seven-meter-tall statue in an apparent attempt to topple it, but the weight prevented the topple. They also sawed off and stole the hat the statue is holding. Mikveh Israel said it would repair the damage immediately and has strengthened security in the area, with police investigations underway. The statue, created by Moti Mizrahi and donated by Marguerite and Yaakov Hai, stands as a landmark of the campus and commemorates Herzl’s historic meeting with Kaiser Wilhelm II.In Uplifting News, Britain's Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess ...

    HEADLINESLebanon-Israel ceasefire holds as civilians move southIDF Ro'em howitzer deployed in southern LebanonTrump believes Iran war could end soonThe time is now 2:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Regional Impacts, Lebanese civilians forced their way past barriers on the Al-Qasmiya Bridge over the Litani River on Thursday, ignoring IDF warnings not to return south of the river until further notice. Videos circulating on social media show residents who fled north at the start of Israel's war with Hezbollah attempting to move back south via the Litani's central bridge, which was not destroyed by the IDF. The Israel-Lebanon ceasefire went into effect at midnight between Thursday and Friday, with both sides committing to further negotiations toward a comprehensive peace, under a 10-day ceasefire that could be extended should both countries agree and as Lebanon demonstrates its sovereignty, according to a Thursday US State Department press release.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the IDF said it deployed its Ro'em self-propelled howitzer for the first time in southern Lebanon, using it to fire at Hezbollah anti-tank targets threatening forces on the ground. The firing was declared an operational success and described as a development that could shape new artillery fire responses while fighting. Officials described the Ro'em as a system with a fully automated turret, capable of a higher rate of fire, longer range, and multi-trajectory firing so different shells hit targets simultaneously, enabling mobility and deeper maneuvering with reduced crew exposure. In Beirut’s southern suburbs, Hezbollah operatives emerged from hiding to shoot into the air in celebration of the ceasefire, sending a message to the Lebanese government amid plans for disarmament.In US Policy Concerning Israel, US President Donald Trump said he believes an agreement to end the Iran war could come soon and urged Hezbollah to hold its fire as a 10-day truce between Lebanon and Israel took effect. Trump said the next meeting between the United States and Iran could take place over the weekend and that an extension of the two-week ceasefire was possible but might not be needed if Tehran secures a deal; he indicated he hoped to travel to Islamabad if a deal is reached. Separately, Senator Lindsey Graham said real peace is within reach between Saudi Arabia and Israel, but only if both sides stay clear-eyed about the threats that brought them to this point, with strength and vigilance determining whether that peace lasts.In Israeli Domestic Politics, a Maariv poll shows Netanyahu’s coalition holding 49 seats against a stable 61-seat opposition bloc for a third consecutive week, with no significant movement between blocs. Within the opposition, Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar! party lost one seat to the Democrats. Since the Iran war began on February 28, Likud has slipped from 27 to 25 seats, while Bennett 2026 has stabilized at 24 seats over the past two weeks. The poll also finds a tight contest over prime ministerial suitability: 43% say Netanyahu is more suited, 41% favor Bennett, and against Eisenkot, Netanyahu leads 45% to 38%. Education Minister Yoav Kisch announced a new framework for the upcoming matriculation exams, including accommodations and leniencies for northern Israel to reduce pressure and provide greater certainty for students amid the security situation. The framework also adjusts final-grade weighting to ensure the higher grade is achieved in various scenarios. A separate editorial urges Israel to prioritize military independence, arguing that true security requires steadfast self-reliance even as discussions in Washington over arms transfers continue, with Democratic votes to withhold certain hardware reflecting a shifting dynamic in regional security support.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.

    HEADLINES
    - Civilians Warned as Litani Boundary Shifts
    - 10-Day Ceasefire In Effect Extension Possible
    - Italian Weekly Cover Sparks Antisemitic Outcry

    The time is now 1:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

    In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Lebanese civilians were told not to return to homes south of the Litani River because Israeli forces remain in those areas, marking a shift that pushes the evacuation boundary back toward the Litani after the ceasefire. At the same time, Hezbollah operatives emerged from hideouts in Beirut’s southern suburbs and fired into the air in celebration of the ceasefire, sending a message to the Lebanese government amid disarmament plans.

    In the US Policy Concerning Israel, the United States says the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire went into effect at midnight, with both governments committing to further negotiations toward a lasting peace. The arrangement covers a 10-day ceasefire that could be extended if both sides agree and as Lebanon demonstrates its sovereignty. The Lebanese government has pledged, with international support, to take meaningful steps to prevent Hezbollah and any other rogue non-state armed groups from attacking Israel. Both sides recognize that Hezbollah’s activity must be curtailed, and Lebanon’s security forces are the only ones authorized to bear arms. Israel has agreed not to attack any Lebanese targets, including civilian, military, and other state targets.

    In the Israeli Domestic Politics, an editorial argues Israel must prioritize military independence, noting a widening shift in how the United States handles arms transfers to Israel. While a recent Senate vote to block such transfers was defeated, the margins reveal a growing split among lawmakers, with Democrats voting to withhold hardware at higher rates than in previous years. The piece points to a changing dynamic within the Democratic caucus and the Tel Aviv headquarters. A separate report from yesterday’s traffic incident on Highway 4 near the Yavne interchange describes a deadly crash involving two trucks; one driver from Ashdod, in his 40s, died at the scene, and police are collecting evidence as two of the four lanes remain closed.

    In the Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, a magazine image controversy highlights the persistence of harmful tropes. An Italian weekly published a cover photo that shows a Jewish figure in a manner reminiscent of classic antisemitic Nazi caricatures, a choice the piece says reflects how enemies seek to picture Jews.

    In the Uplifting News, Rom Barslavski, a Holocaust survivor, kicked off the 10-kilometer segment of the Jerusalem Winner Marathon as planned, alongside the city’s mayor. The full marathon was canceled because of the heat. The half-marathon winner was Almiyah Ayemru, 36, from Karnei Shomron, with a time of 1:07:31, and the women’s winner was Bika Mintamer, 34, from Ramat Hasharon, with a time of 1:24:29.
