- 0:08Speaker 1: You're listening to Israel Today ongoing war report. I'm Noah Levi.
- 0:11Speaker 1: The conflict along Israel's northern border saw renewed exchanges overnight.
- 0:16Speaker 1: Israel conducted widespread strikes across southern Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah infrastructure.
- 0:21Speaker 1: The IDF stated these strikes were in retaliation for an
- 0:25Speaker 1: explosive drone attack launched by Hezbollah towards IDF forces in
- 0:29Speaker 1: the buffer zone. No soldiers were injured in the Hezbollah attack,
- 0:33Speaker 1: and the IDF reported targeting drone and anti-tank missile launch sites,
- 0:37Speaker 1: as well as other Hezbollah infrastructure. In other developments related
- 0:41Speaker 1: to the October 7 attacks, Israeli reports identify Saha Saka,
- 0:46Speaker 1: who was killed in weekend strikes in central Gaza, as
- 0:49Speaker 1: a terrorist involved in the abduction of Noah Agamani. Some
- 0:53Speaker 1: reports document him transporting her into Gaza on October 7,
- 0:57Speaker 1: while others identify him as the motorcycle driver during her abduction.
- 1:01Speaker 1: World Israel News noted there was no immediate public confirmation
- 1:05Speaker 1: from the IDF or Shin bet regarding his reported death
- 1:09Speaker 1: or identity. Internationally, a significant development in the fight against
- 1:13Speaker 1: antisemitism has emerged. A former bodyguard for Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh,
- 1:18Speaker 1: who had obtained asylum and British citizenship in the UK,
- 1:22Speaker 1: was arrested last November on suspicion of planning a terrorist
- 1:25Speaker 1: attack against Jewish communities and Israelis in Europe. According to
- 1:29Speaker 1: the Sunday Times, He is facing extradition to Germany for
- 1:32Speaker 1: his alleged role, in a plot involving the transport of
- 1:35Speaker 1: weapons and equipment. German security officials have warned this reflects
- 1:40Speaker 1: a dangerous shift in Hamas's tactics to expand terrorist activity
- 1:44Speaker 1: into Europe. Turning to Israeli domestic politics, opposition party leaders
- 1:49Speaker 1: have taken steps toward unity ahead of the upcoming elections.
- 1:53Speaker 1: Yair Golan, Gadi Eisenkot, Naftali Bennett and Avigdor Liberman met
- 1:58Speaker 1: to sign a document agreeing on shared principles, and pledging
- 2:01Speaker 1: to work together. During discussions, Yair Golan stated his belief
- 2:05Speaker 1: that an Arab party should be included in the next government,
- 2:09Speaker 1: emphasising the need for appropriate Arab representation. Meanwhile, recent Knesset
- 2:13Speaker 1: seat polls show considerable disparities, indicating the political landscape remains
- 2:18Speaker 1: far from a decisive outcome. In Jerusalem, Palestinian sources are
- 2:23Speaker 1: reporting tensions in the Old City. They claim Israeli settlers
- 2:27Speaker 1: are performing Talmudic rituals in the Katanin market, a route
- 2:30Speaker 1: leading to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, following the forced closure of
- 2:34Speaker 1: local businesses. For continuing coverage of antisemitism around the world,
