The time is now 05:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas continues to escalate, with significant developments at both the northern and southern fronts. As the situation unfolds, here are the key updates:

In Gaza, the humanitarian toll remains staggering. The Hamas-run health ministry reports over 39,000 casualties since the conflict reignited on October 7, following a surprise attack that resulted in the deaths of approximately 1,200 Israelis, predominantly civilians. Israel's military claims to have killed around 15,000 combatants in the ongoing ground offensive. The humanitarian crisis is further exacerbated by the blockade and extensive destruction within the region.

On the northern front, tensions with Hezbollah have intensified following a missile attack that resulted in the tragic deaths of 12 Druze children and teenagers. In response, Israel has ramped up military readiness, with the Israel Defense Forces mobilizing additional troops to the area. The US is reportedly engaging with Israeli officials to encourage restraint and avoid targeting civilian infrastructure in Beirut, in an effort to prevent a broader conflict. Reports from Reuters indicate that Hezbollah has not evacuated key sites in southern Beirut, possibly anticipating that Israel will avoid striking those areas.

Domestically, the political landscape is tense as protests against the government's handling of the war gain traction. Israeli President Isaac Herzog has called on Knesset members to take responsibility and help calm the public's anger, while some political figures are denouncing the protests as detrimental to the military efforts against Hamas. Foreign Minister Israel Katz has urged NATO to expel Turkey from the alliance following President Erdogan's aggressive rhetoric towards Israel, further complicating regional dynamics.

As international relations shift, Israel is preparing to implement a global minimum tax on multinational corporations, joining a consensus among 140 countries aimed at preventing tax avoidance by large firms. This move comes amid efforts to stabilize the Israeli economy during wartime, as the government anticipates significant financial implications.

In other news, protests have erupted in Venezuela following the announcement of election results favoring President Maduro, showcasing the broader implications of political unrest in various regions.

The ongoing conflict and its ramifications continue to dominate headlines, with the situation evolving rapidly. Further updates will follow as developments unfold.
