About this episode

HEADLINES
US Sinks Iranian Kylo Tanker
IDF Strikes Southern Lebanon After Drone Attack
AfD Surges Past 40% in Germany

The time is now 2:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In US Military Role, US forces sank an Iranian oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman, CENTCOM announced. CENTCOM said the M/T Kylo sank in the Gulf of Oman today and joined Iran’s navy at the bottom of the sea. The strike followed a series of earlier actions against three other Iranian tankers as part of the naval and economic blockade meant to cripple the Islamic regime. CENTCOM said the tanker strikes came in response to the IRGC launching ballistic missiles at two US Navy ships. Adm. Brad Cooper warned, “Let the message to the IRGC be clear: If you shoot at two of our ships, we will impose an even higher economic cost — taking out three of yours.” Tasnim reported that four US missiles hit a tanker near Kharg Island, with no casualties and the crew evacuated. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also posted on X about the developments.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the Israeli Defense Forces began a wave of strikes in southern Lebanon on Sunday after Hezbollah attacked troops with two drones. IDF downed one drone; no injuries were reported. Ahead of the strikes, IDF Arabic Spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Ella Waweya issued an evacuation order to residents of the southern Lebanese town of Arab Salim via X, urging people in the building marked in red to evacuate immediately and to stay at least 300 meters away from the red-marked building near a Hezbollah facility. Remaining near the red-marked building puts residents at risk. Separately, security officials said Israel struck a vacant Lebanon hospital building that Hezbollah had used as an outpost; Lebanese reports say Hezbollah is trying to slow IDF operations on the Ali Taher ridge, with one killed and three wounded reported by Lebanese sources.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, an opinion piece argues Israel must pursue tikkun olam and face internal problems rather than silence about them, drawing on historical episodes to illustrate how exposure and accountability have shaped public discourse. The piece notes that openness about Israel’s internal challenges has long been controversial, but contends that honest reflection is necessary for resilience. A separate editorial highlights US Ambassador Mike Huckabee’s West Bank message, praising a approach that condemns violence by all sides, enforces the law, and defends Israel’s right to build in Area C within the Oslo framework, while cautioning against conflating wrongdoing by extremists with the broader Israeli population and urging clear moral judgments.

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, far-right surge challenges Germany’s postwar taboo as AfD closes in on historic state victory. Polls show the party above 40%, but Germany’s 5% threshold and tactical voting could determine whether it can govern alone; Jewish leaders warn that control of police, intelligence, education and state institutions would carry consequences far beyond the election.

Cupid only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything. Egg sandwiches, fries, burgers, chefs use it, restaurants use it, people who really care about flavor use it, put it on just about anything. Then you'll understand.
