Transcript
- 0:08Speaker 1: You're listening to Israel Today ongoing war report, I'm Noah Levi.
- 0:12Speaker 1: We begin with a significant security incident in Judea and Samaria.
- 0:16Speaker 1: This morning, a shooting attack near the Judea junction in
- 0:19Speaker 1: the Hebron area wounded five Israelis, two of whom are
- 0:22Speaker 1: in critical condition. Initial reports indicate the attack, which involved
- 0:26Speaker 1: sustained gunfire for over 20 minutes, was carried out by
- 0:30Speaker 1: two terrorists who arrived in a vehicle, possibly with Israeli plates,
- 0:34Speaker 1: and used an M16 rifle. Israeli forces quickly neutralised the
- 0:38Speaker 1: terrorists and have launched a manhunt for any additional suspects,
- 0:42Speaker 1: establishing security cordons in the area. Following the attack, National
- 0:46Speaker 1: Security Minister Itamar Ben-Jivur called for immediate security action in
- 0:51Speaker 1: Judea and Samaria, warning that the region must not wait
- 0:54Speaker 1: for another October 7 and advocating for dismantling Palestinian Authority
- 0:59Speaker 1: terror infrastructure. Prime Minister Netanyahu reportedly cancelled Likud events scheduled
- 1:04Speaker 1: for this morning in response to the attack. On the
- 1:08Speaker 1: regional front, a statement from President Donald Trump has drawn attention.
- 1:12Speaker 1: He stated, quote, We will finish Iran very soon. It
- 1:15Speaker 1: hardly matters to me in which way it happens. It
- 1:18Speaker 1: will happen very soon and then fuel prices will fall rapidly.
- 1:22Speaker 1: This statement comes amid ongoing regional tensions. Israeli domestic politics
- 1:27Speaker 1: is also facing external pressure. Sources indicate Iran is threatening
- 1:31Speaker 1: the upcoming elections, prompting Israel to develop a counterplan described
- 1:35Speaker 1: as having no second chance. This comes as Prime Minister
- 1:39Speaker 1: Benjamin Netanyahu has denied an exciting report related to the elections, stating, quote,
- 1:45Speaker 1: this is not true. A Likud petition has reportedly led
- 1:49Speaker 1: to new data emerging concerning flights related to the election process,
- 1:53Speaker 1: suggesting potential scrutiny. Meanwhile in Gaza, IDF forces were reported
- 1:58Speaker 1: to have moved yellow fortifications westward of a cemetery in
- 2:01Speaker 1: central Gaza under artillery cover. Turning to reports on online
- 2:06Speaker 1: hate speech, a recent development suggests a potential decline. Following
- 2:10Speaker 1: Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian data centres, anti-Israel hate speech
- 2:15Speaker 1: and antisemitic comments on social networks are said to have
- 2:18Speaker 1: decreased significantly. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cited a 60% drop
- 2:23Speaker 1: in hostile Russian online activities against Israel. A development that
- 2:28Speaker 1: raises questions about the deliberate amplification of hatred toward Israel
- 2:32Speaker 1: and Jews by foreign actors. For continuing coverage of antisemitism
