  Speaker 1: You're listening to Israel Today ongoing war report. I'm Noah Levi.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: We begin with deeply concerning allegations emerging from a new documentary. NAZA,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: which debuted at the Venice Film Festival, claims that mass
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: civilian deaths were routinely built into Israeli military targeting decisions
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: in Gaza. The film features anonymous testimonies from intelligence officers
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: and soldiers, who assert that an air-assisted system was used
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: to identify targets, reportedly even triggering airstrikes based on data
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: from hacked mobile phones. One officer described the system as
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: targeting people in civilian spaces, leading to what they called
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: mass killing on an industrial scale. The documentary also touches
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: on the targeting of civilians near Israeli-designated no-go zones, with
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: one officer stating, they have to learn with blood. The
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: film's directors noted a striking contrast between daily life in
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Tel Aviv and the devastation in Gaza, observing that many
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Israelis feel little empathy for Palestinian civilians, with some saying,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: there are no innocent people in Gaza. The IDF had
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: not immediately responded to requests for comment on the documentary's claims.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Israel maintains it makes great efforts to avoid civilian casualties,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: while Hamas is said to use Gaza's civilians as human shields.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Turning to Iran and its regional activities, International Atomic Energy
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi reported new construction activity
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: at Iran's Pekax Mountain nuclear facility, a fortified site near
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the Natanz uranium enrichment plant. Analysts citing satellite imagery note
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: that the activity has shifted from excavation toward internal construction,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: though the site is not yet capable of enrichment work.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: In parallel, the Wall Street Journal reports Tehran is assembling
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: new missiles from stockpiled parts at sites including Khoja, despite
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: ongoing strikes, and a naval blockade restricting full-scale production. Meanwhile,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Houthi rebels in Yemen have reportedly captured Perim Island at
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the narrowest point of the Bab al-Mandab Strait, with advances
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: on nearby Red Sea islands as Saudi-backed forces retreat, escalating
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: conflict in a vital global shipping lane. On the diplomatic front,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the UK's intention to advance sanctions and trade restrictions related
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: to Israeli settlements has drawn strong reactions. In Jerusalem, Deputy
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Mayor Aryeh King has demanded that King George Street be
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: renamed in response to London's policy. Protests have also occurred
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: in London, with demonstrators outside Downing Street criticising what they
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: called double standards in British foreign policy and warning of
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: rising anti-Israel sentiment becoming an ideology. The sanctions themselves are
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: directed at settlements, and are not expected to take effect
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: for several months. Amidst this, IDF Central Commander Major General
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Avi Bluth is publicly calling for stronger law enforcement action
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: in the West Bank from police and the Shin Bet.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: He stressed the need for robust cooperation to combat terror
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and violence, and alluded to criticism that Israel has not
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: sufficiently reigned in Jewish extremist violence in the West Bank,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: a factor contributing to Western countries' moves against Israel. Domestically,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: five polls published recently paint a highly fragmented picture for
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the 2026 Knesset elections. While Gadi Eizenkot's Yashar Party leads
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: in four of the surveys, an I24 News poll showed
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the Likud surging into first place. The outcomes for the
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: major blocs remain unclear, with varying advantages reported for Prime
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc. In related news, Sabah Haniyeh, the
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: sister of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, faces charges of incitement,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: and identifying with Hamas over alleged messages sent after the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: October 7th massacre. She claims relatives used her phone and
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: denies involvement. I'm Noah Levi, thank you for listening to
