President Biden and PM Netanyahu are nearing consensus on Israel’s upcoming retaliation against Iran, according to three U.S. and Israeli officials, Axios reports. During a Wednesday call, the Biden administration acknowledged Israel’s plan for a significant strike but expressed concerns that targeting certain sites could lead to a dangerous escalation of the regional conflict.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has released video footage showing a drone launch aimed at a “vital target” in northern Israel. The Israeli Air Force intercepted this drone, along with several others, earlier today.

A man taking photos of the aftermath of an Israeli airstrike on Beirut’s outskirts was assaulted by a crowd before being arrested by the Lebanese Army. He is accused of collaborating with Israel, an allegation that has led to several other arrests by the Lebanese military in the past week. The incident reflects heightened tensions and increased crackdowns on suspected espionage activity in the region.

Lebanon’s health ministry reports that at least 11 people were killed and 48 injured in Israeli airstrikes on Beirut Thursday evening. The figures do not distinguish between civilians and terrorists. Reports suggest the strikes were aimed at a high-ranking Hezbollah official.

The IDF Spokesperson, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, in a Hezbollah stronghold in southern Lebanon:

“This is a terror base. Every house has gear ready for the raid against Israel. We are dismantling Hezbollah’s capability to do the Conquer the Galilee plan.”

A remarkable act of Chesed is unfolding as Hatzolah transports several critically ill children, some on respirators, from Flatbush to perform Tashlich. The large convoy of emergency vehicles, including Hatzolah, Shomrim, and NYPD, seen driving through Boro Park is part of this special effort, not an emergency incident, so there is no need for concern.

A full story on this will be forthcoming later on YWN.

Thousands are currently at the Levaya in Bnei Brak of HaRav Rafael Mordechai Fishoff, H”yd, the Avreich who was brutally murdered by a heinous terrorist in Hadera on Wednesday.

The IDF continues its large-scale operations against Hamas in Gaza. Over the past day, Israeli forces in the Jabaliya area eliminated more than 50 terrorist operatives, including those responsible for launching anti-tank missiles at troops. Large quantities of weapons, including AK-47s, RPGs, and ammunition, were found. In Rafah, IDF troops dismantled a rocket launcher, additional weapon caches, and underground tunnel shafts. In central Gaza, more terrorists were neutralized, and additional weapons and infrastructure were destroyed.

The Israeli Air Force also struck over 110 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon and approximately 30 Hamas targets in Gaza, hitting terrorist cells, weapons storage sites, rocket launchers, and underground infrastructure.

The Israeli Air Force (IAF) and IDF artillery successfully eliminated two senior Hezbollah commanders responsible for recent attacks on northern Israel. Ahmad Moustafa al-Haj Ali, commander of the Houla Front, was killed in a targeted strike. He was responsible for orchestrating hundreds of missile and anti-tank attacks aimed at the Kiryat Shmona area.

In a separate operation, Mohammad Ali Hamdan, commander of Hezbollah’s anti-tank unit in the Meiss El Jabal region, was also killed. Hamdan had led multiple anti-tank missile assaults targeting northern Israeli communities.

Additionally, on Thursday and overnight, the IAF, with support from the IDF Intelligence Directorate, carried out precision strikes on several weapons storage facilities in Beirut’s Dahieh area and other Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon.

Earlier today, the Israeli Air Force carried out a strike in the Quneitra region of Syria, killing Adham Jahout, a key figure in Hezbollah’s “Golan Terrorist Network,” according to the IDF.

Jahout’s role involved transmitting intelligence from the Syrian regime to Hezbollah, aiding in operations against Israel in the Golan Heights.

This targeted strike is part of ongoing efforts to dismantle Hezbollah’s influence along Israel’s northern front.
