HEADLINES Israel announces daily "pause" in fighting to aid Gaza amid famine warnings Iran clashes with G7 over nuclear program escalation and missile transfers Hackers breach Israeli kibbutz computers in solidarity with Gaza, violent incident in Tiberias The time is now 04:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report. In the latest developments of the Israel-Hamas conflict, Israel has announced a daily "pause" in fighting around a south Gaza route to facilitate aid deliveries, amidst warnings of famine in the besieged Palestinian territory. This decision follows the recent heavy loss of eight Israeli soldiers in a blast near Rafah and additional casualties elsewhere. The UN and aid groups have repeatedly raised concerns about shortages in Gaza due to access restrictions and the closure of key crossings. Israel's military specified a humanitarian route from the Kerem Shalom crossing to the Salah al-Din road, aiming to increase humanitarian aid volumes. Meanwhile, Iran rebuked the Group of Seven for condemning its nuclear program escalation, urging the G7 to distance itself from past "destructive policies." Iran reiterated its cooperation with the IAEA while criticizing the G7 for threatening sanctions over potential missile transfers to Russia. The G7 has warned Iran against advancing its nuclear enrichment program and indicated readiness for new measures. In California, graduation ceremonies proceeded with little disruption over the Gaza conflict, with students at UCLA's Luskin School of Public Affairs wearing keffiyehs and some peacefully walking out. The US has seen months of pro-Palestinian protests, but the UCLA ceremonies remained largely undisturbed. Other institutions such as UC Santa Cruz, UC Davis, and UC Irvine also conducted commencement events amidst broader calls for peace and divestment from companies with ties to Israel. Additionally, a group of hackers known as "Handala" claimed to have breached the computers of kibbutz Ma'agan Michael in northern Israel, retrieving information and sharing private data of kibbutz members, supposedly in solidarity with Rafah in Gaza. In a separate incident in Tiberias, a 33-year-old man sustained severe injuries in a violent incident on HaTzanhanim Street and was transported to a medical center for treatment. These recent developments highlight the multifaceted nature of the Israel-Hamas conflict, encompassing military actions, international responses, diplomatic tensions, and localized incidents that collectively shape the ongoing narrative of this protracted and complex conflict.
