Iranian gunboats circle Stena Imperative near Oman
IDF strike hits Hamas Bilal Abu Assi
Israel Shipyards inks $62m vessel export deal

The time is now 12:02 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In the conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Iranian small gunboats approached the US-flagged M/V Stena Imperative in the Strait of Hormuz, with reports indicating up to six IRGC fast vessels signaling to board as the tanker was escorted by military forces about 16 nautical miles off Oman. A US warplane shot down an Iranian drone that shadowed the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, underscoring a volatile standoff on the eve of negotiations. The episode highlights how tensions between Washington and Tehran are flaring across sea and air fronts. Separately, an opinion piece argues that Iran won the information war by shutting down the Internet, denying protesters access to information and helping the regime outmaneuver the United States in the information space. It describes the distinction between cyberwarfare that disrupts infrastructure and information operations that influence perception, noting Iran’s use of influence campaigns in Israel and contrasting with American information efforts aimed at weakening the regime, including Trump’s direct messaging to protesters as part of the information environment.

In the Disputed Territories (Gaza, Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem), Israeli police said a Palestinian woman and an Israeli man were arrested after pretending to be married to cross the border, claiming to be husband and wife and presenting Israeli IDs. The woman is a 45-year-old illegal resident from Tulkarm, and the driver, a 39-year-old from the north, had conflicting details during questioning, leading to charges including transporting an illegal resident and aiding impersonation. Police say enforcement against illegal residents has intensified, including crackdowns on employers; last week former Israel Police commissioner Roni Alsheich was questioned on suspicions of employing an illegal resident. In a separate development, the IDF said it likely killed civilians in a retaliatory strike on a Hamas commander, Bilal Abu Assi, who led the infiltration into Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7, after an earlier ambush wounded an Israeli soldier near the Yellow Line in northern Gaza. The army’s afternoon statement indicated the strike targeted Abu Assi, but the operation likely caused civilian casualties, underscoring the human cost amid ongoing hostilities.

In Israeli Domestic Politics, overnight, Duvdevan Unit forces arrested two terrorists at the El Amari camp in the Binyamin region following activity linked to the war, and they were transferred for further questioning by security forces. The report also notes that a drone carrying weapons was detected along the eastern border, with the IDF stressing that it will not tolerate what happened tonight in Gaza.

In Israeli Economy and Business, a large export deal was announced for Israel’s shipyards: four vessels plus related services will be delivered to a foreign governmental client for about $62 million, with delivery expected in 24 to 36 months and including training and guidance for assembly and maintenance. Separately, Israel Shipyards is building five Rashif ships for the navy, following a December 2024 Defense Ministry announcement of five advanced Rashif vessels at a total of about 2.4 billion shekels, a move described as strengthening defense independence and domestic production.
