Possible F-47 sixth-gen fighter spotted
IDF Hebron operation injures uninvolved civilians
Iran seeks $24B, warns of wider war

The time is now 6:01 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In US Military Role, video footage posted recently by the YouTube channel Project Fear, filmed near Area 51 at the Nevada Test and Training Range, appears to have captured a new sixth-generation fighter aircraft, possibly the US Air Force’s Next Generation Air Dominance, known more commonly as the Boeing F-47.

In Regional Impacts, three Palestinians were injured during IDF operations in the Hebron area of the West Bank after soldiers mistook a vehicle for accelerating toward them; the Palestinians were identified as uninvolved civilians and were evacuated for medical treatment, and the IDF said the incident is under review and expressed sorrow for harm to innocent individuals. Explosions and air defense activity were reported within the last hour from Iran’s Kharg Island in the Northern Persian Gulf. An opinion piece discusses the cost of leaving the Palestinian issue unresolved after October 7, arguing there are two ways to view the attacks: one that mollifying the Palestinians may be unlikely and another that the Palestinian issue cannot be ignored, noting broad Palestinian support in some quarters. Israeli journalist Barak Ravid appeared on Lebanon’s LBCI TV to discuss his interview with a senior Lebanese official, saying the discussion could help Israelis and Lebanese understand each other better and that such exchanges could reduce demonization, though Lebanon still enforces a law criminalizing interactions with Israel.

In US Policy Concerning Israel, an opinion asks whether the historic alliance between American Jewry and Israel is in crisis, noting that while the alliance has been a pillar of support, recent years have seen disruptions on campuses and shifts in public opinion after October 7. Reports say the US-Iran negotiations are approaching a critical stage as Tehran demands billions and warns of a wider war, with references to discussions by Witkoff and Kushner on an implementation plan as the US denies Iran fired warning shots near Navy ships. Iran’s negotiations stance is echoed by a CNN report in which a senior Iranian official describes an impasse and calls for the release of $24 billion in frozen assets, warning that failure to resolve the matter could widen conflict and that Iran could respond beyond the Persian Gulf, potentially signaling broader military options.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, a secular man was attacked by a group of haredi protesters outside a Jerusalem police station after rioters were arrested at the home of Supreme Court Deputy President Noam Sohlberg; the man was pushed to the ground and suffered a head wound. A separate note from Netzah Yehuda, a group that works with ultra-Orthodox soldiers, says arrests of yeshiva students threaten enlistment and calls for focusing draft efforts on those not enrolled in a yeshiva rather than penalizing those committed to Torah study, arguing that arrests could deter young haredi men considering military service.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, What New York’s Israel Day Parade says about the future of American Jewry examines heightened security along Fifth Avenue, with the parade theme “Proud Americans, Proud Zionists” reflecting resilience amid rising antisemitism and a shift toward policing the event as a high-threat operation.

In Uplifting News, Shabbat Shalom from the Sea of Galilee.
