The time is now 10:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, a closely watched primary race in New York highlights deep divisions within the Democratic Party over the war in Gaza. Incumbent Jamal Bowman, a vocal critic of Israel, has been defeated by challenger George Latimer, a pro-Israel centrist. The victory of Latimer signifies a setback for the progressive wing of the party and underscores the challenges of shaping political messaging around the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Meanwhile, near Jerusalem, firefighters have successfully battled blazes near a hospital and military base, suspected to have been sparked by firebomb attacks from a Palestinian neighborhood. This incident underscores the ongoing tensions and security threats faced in the region.

In a separate development, a drone incident near Eilat has raised security concerns. The Israel Defense Forces confirm that a drone went down near Eilat, with conflicting reports on whether interception attempts were successful. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an Iran-backed group, has claimed responsibility for the drone launch, further escalating regional tensions.

Additionally, French prosecutors have reported harassment and threats against minors allegedly involved in the antisemitic rape of a 12-year-old Jewish girl. The authorities have opened investigations into the dissemination of identification details of the minors on social media, highlighting the concerning rise of online harassment and privacy violations.

These events underscore the multifaceted challenges and complexities of the Israel-Hamas conflict, the regional security implications, and the broader societal impacts of such conflicts on political discourse and social dynamics.
