Israel-Hamas War Day 202: What's going on in Israel?

Israel is attacking deep in eastern Lebanon in the Bekaa Valley, Kan reported Thursday morning. 

Hezbollah told the Lebanese government that it is ready to deal with an expanded front against Israel, Kan reported Thursday morning. 

A coalition vessel successfully engaged one anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM), which was launched from the Iranian-backed Houthi "terrorist-controlled areas" in Yemen over the Gulf of Aden, the US Central Command said in a statement on Thursday.

"The ASBM was likely targeting the MV Yorktown, a US-flagged, owned, and operated vessel with 18 US and four Greek crew members," it said.

It added, "There were no injuries or damage reported by US, coalition, or commercial ships."

The families of hostages in Gaza and Tzav 9 activists blocked humanitarian aid trucks on their way to Gaza, Walla reported early on Thursday.

According to the report, the trucks were blocked at Tel Arad junction in the Negev.

"Today it is clear to everyone that only stopping the aid to Hamas will prevent it from taking over the Strip and will help return the hostages home. We call on everyone in the area - join us in blocking the aid," said the Tzav 9 activists.

Nova party massacre survivor Natalie Sanandaji was doxxed on Tuesday in an unnamed Telegram group, she stated in a post to X the same day.

The post, which labeled Natalie as a "target," leaked several important pieces of personal information that could put her in danger.

Since surviving the Oct 7 terrorist attack at the nova festival I have made it my life’s mission to speak out against Hamas and be a voice for all those who no longer have a voice since that horrific day, all those who were murdered and taken hostage.

Her home address was leaked, along with her personal and professional email as well as her phone number.

During a hunt for one of the most elusive West Bank terrorists, Israel employed tactics that, until October 7, had been extremely rare in the West Bank but common in Gaza, according to a report by Wall Street Journal.

Israel had been hunting Abdullah Abu Shalal for at least a year, but his escapes from the IDF gave him a strong following in his native Balata outside of Nablus.

Having first been arrested in 2010 as a teenager, he was in and out of prison until the late 2010s, according to his family.

Israel Air Force fighter jets struck Hezbollah infrastructure in the area of Maroun al-Ras in southern Lebanon, as well as a Hezbollah observation post in the area of Markaba overnight Wednesday into Thursday, the IDF reported.

Earlier, a Hezbollah military structure was hit in the area of Aalma El Chaeb, and throughout the day, IDF artillery struck several locations in southern Lebanon.
