Transcript
- 0:08Speaker 1: You're listening to Israel Today ongoing war report. I'm Noah Levi.
- 0:12Speaker 1: Western intelligence assessments indicate Iran has preserved key weapons factories
- 0:17Speaker 1: and can replenish its missile and drone arsenal despite months
- 0:20Speaker 1: of US and Israeli airstrikes. This contradicts claims by the
- 0:24Speaker 1: Trump administration that the military campaign dismantled Iran's capabilities. Bloomberg reported,
- 0:30Speaker 1: citing Western officials, that Iran has retained the ability to
- 0:34Speaker 1: manufacture ballistic missiles and drones, allowing Tehran to replenish stockpiles.
- 0:39Speaker 1: These officials also claimed Russia has been supplying Iran with missiles,
- 0:43Speaker 1: consistent with separate intelligence assessments. These findings stand in contrast
- 0:48Speaker 1: to repeated assertions by Trump administration, officials that the US-Israeli
- 0:53Speaker 1: campaign has effectively dismantled Iran's military-industrial capacity. the UK Navy
- 0:58Speaker 1: reported that Iran has intensified attacks on vessels operating near
- 1:02Speaker 1: the Strait of Hormuz. In Gaza, former head of Shin
- 1:05Speaker 1: Bet Research Headquarters Naomi Newman told KAN News that Hamas
- 1:10Speaker 1: continues to exercise effective control over the strip, generating an
- 1:14Speaker 1: estimated US $ 2- 5 million daily through heavy taxes and the
- 1:18Speaker 1: black market sale of humanitarian aid. She described Hamas as
- 1:22Speaker 1: a decentralised system that instils fear and creates dependency. Newman
- 1:27Speaker 1: suggested that incorporating a multinational stabilisation force, and eventually the
- 1:32Speaker 1: Palestinian Authority into Gaza, could weaken Hamas's power. Meanwhile, reports
- 1:37Speaker 1: from Gaza indicate recent drone attacks killed at least six
- 1:40Speaker 1: people and injured ten. Separately, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has
- 1:45Speaker 1: postponed legislative elections, initially set for November 28, 2026, to
- 1:48Speaker 1: September 11, 2027. According to the official Palestinian news agency WAFA,
- 1:57Speaker 1: The decision was made after consultations among Palestinian factions, citing
- 2:01Speaker 1: Israeli military attacks, settlement expansion, settler violence and restrictions on
- 2:07Speaker 1: movement as significant obstacles to holding free and fair elections
- 2:11Speaker 1: under current conditions. A Fox News digital investigation has exposed
- 2:15Speaker 1: a London-based group called the Global Alliance for Palestine, which
- 2:19Speaker 1: reportedly provided pre-written slogans, disruption tactics and media strategies worldwide
- 2:27Speaker 1: ahead of coordinated anti-Israel protests. The coalition's international steering committee
- 2:32Speaker 1: includes figures like former British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. Separately,
- 2:37Speaker 1: commentator Amir Tsarfati highlighted a post from the Columbia chapter
- 2:41Speaker 1: of Students for Justice in Palestine that appeared just minutes
- 2:44Speaker 1: before the October 7 attack, stating, we are back. On
- 2:48Speaker 1: the economic front, a report shared by Amir Tsarfati noted
- 2:52Speaker 1: that the Israeli stock market has broken records, and the
- 2:55Speaker 1: shekel has reached remarkable highs, indicating strong economic performance and resilience,
- 3:01Speaker 1: positioning Israel as a formidable power. For continuing coverage of
