The commander of the Golan Brigade addressed his fighters, emphasizing that they will never cease their actions, reiterating their commitment to lead, defend, and act in the spirit of fallen comrades and the righteousness of their cause. Over recent months, the brigade has targeted hundreds of terrorist infrastructures, uncovered numerous tunnels, and eliminated scores of terrorists. Currently, combat units are operating in the Jenine neighborhood in Rafah, the final locus of fighting against Hamas militants in that area. The brigade's focus remains on systematic attacks and the destruction of underground infrastructure, with the military prepared to expand operations to other sectors of Gaza. In related developments, the IDF reports that nine soldiers sustained minor injuries during a patrol in the Shajaiyeh neighborhood, after encountering a bomb during reconnaissance. The soldiers were evacuated for medical treatment, and their families have been notified. Meanwhile, an Israeli fighter jet had to jettison its ordnance in open territory in the north due to a technical malfunction that prevented a safe landing; no casualties were reported, and an investigation is underway.In the north, a 15-year-old boy was critically injured after colliding with an electric scooter and a parked vehicle in Pardes Katz. Paramedics conveyed him to Haifa’s Hillel Yaffe Hospital in unstable condition, suffering from head trauma and multiple injuries. Efforts continue to address the recent spike in violence, with reports of a clash resulting in minor injuries in Nazareth and other incidents across the region. In the skies, an Israeli Air Force jet was forced to release its munitions over northern Israel due to a malfunction, aiming to ensure a safe landing. No injuries were reported. Meanwhile, in Gaza, a missile strike wounded two civilians, and a soldier was lightly hurt when they encountered a roadside explosive during patrols in Shejaiya. Across the border, a Pakistani missile was reportedly launched toward India, and a Pakistani military base was struck by Indian forces in response. Additionally, the Russian space agency announced that the Cosmos 482 satellite, which had been orbiting for 53 years without control, disintegrated over the Indian Ocean or near Indian waters, posing no threat to land but highlighting ongoing space debris concerns.Internationally, the United Kingdom is preparing for heightened threats from Russia. Defense officials are revising 20-year-old contingency plans to address potential missile, nuclear, and cyberattacks, amid escalating tensions. Experts warn that vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure like gas terminals, undersea cables, and nuclear facilities could be exploited. The UK government is considering developing a missile defense system similar to Israel’s Iron Dome, as the country allocates 2.5% of its GDP to defense starting in 2027, though details on implementation are still under discussion. In the Middle East, Syrian President Ahmad al-Shaar made his first visit to Bahrain, signaling shifting diplomatic relations. Meanwhile, in Gaza, a former hostage, Tal Shoham, detailed his captivity, describing the brutal conditions and a bomb overhead rigged to detonate if Israeli forces approached. Shoham, released in February through a US-brokered ceasefire, called for renewed diplomatic efforts to free the remaining hostages and warned that military escalation could hinder their chances of rescue.In Israel, security remains tight. Thirteen soldiers and officers were lightly wounded during operations in Gaza, after encountering a landmine in Shejaiya. Additionally, a 40-year-old motorcyclist was severely injured in a crash in Petah Tikva, and a diver was rescued in Caesarea after being stranded at sea, in moderate condition. Finally, in the broader regional context, tensions continue to mount with the potential for wider conflicts, as global powers reassess their defense strategies in response to emerging threats from state and non-state actors alike.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
