  Speaker 1: You're listening to Israel Today ongoing war report. I'm Noah Levi.

  Speaker 1: We begin with the ongoing regional conflict. Saudi Arabia announced
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: on Sunday that its forces intercepted multiple ballistic missiles, drones
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: and cruise missiles launched by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis. The targets
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: included areas near the capital, Riyadh and southern regions, according
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: to the Saudi-led coalition. This conflict adds to regional destabilisation,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: particularly following recent offensives against Iran. The Houthis have previously
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: warned of targeting Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport, which resumed
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: operations after a deadly attack earlier this month, with their
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: military spokesperson calling it a military target. Adding to regional tensions,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: a Mariv report indicates that Iran has marked specific cities
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: for attack in Israel. This renewed fighting in Yemen has
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: shattered a UN-brokered truce, that had largely held since 2022.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Turning to the disputed territories, the IDF and Shin Bet
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: are investigating a recent incident in Hebron. The military is
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: working to classify it as an encounter between combat troops
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: and terrorists, rather than a terrorist attack, in an effort
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: to avoid professional criticism. Military assessment indicates the attack was
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: orchestrated by a Hamas cell that received assistance from the
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: organisation's headquarters in Turkey. This aligns with reports that funding
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: for Hamas's military build-up, in Gaza and Judea and Samaria,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: flows from Turkey. The IDF and Shin Bet have arrested
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: several Palestinians suspected of assisting the terrorists or knowing about
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: their preparations. These developments come after the funeral of Ron
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Yonatan Reutemann Zed, L, who was killed in a terror attack,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and amid reports of an absurdity exposed in Hebron, following
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the deaths of two soldiers. In economic news, Prime Minister
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Benjamin Netanyahu's recent remarks proposing a shift towards a bypassing economy,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: or blockchain economy, are drawing significant criticism. One analysis published
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: by Jpost questions the Prime Minister's sanity, suggesting such a
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: direction could lead Israel to become a pariah state akin
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: to Iran or North Korea, labelling the proposals as absurd
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and madness. On the domestic front, The IDF is conducting
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: a major exercise to simulate responses to multi-arena attacks and
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: invasions of settlements, enhancing defence readiness. Separately, MK Avigdor Lieberman
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: and the Yisrael Beytinu party have sent a legal warning
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: letter to Gadi Torb and Viktor Korsetsky, alleging the publication
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: of false and unfounded claims against Lieberman and his family.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Turning to international matters, in London, Camden Council is investigating
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the legality of a life-size bronze statue of Marwan Bar-Ghouti,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a convicted terrorist serving multiple life sentences in Israel for murder,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: which has been placed on the roof of Palestine House
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: in the city's Camden Borough. The statue stands alongside a
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Palestinian flag. The investigation by the council followed a complaint
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: filed by the pro-Israel group UK Lawyers for Israel. Finally,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: in other news, a violent incident in Jaffia has resulted
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: in the death of a 25-year-old man. For continuing coverage
