 HEADLINESIsrael court permits anti-police shirts at matchesGaza buildings collapse amid war and weatherChina blocks UNDOF renewal as US opposesThe time is now 5:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.This is the 5:00 AM global briefing. A wide range of developments across the Middle East and beyond is shaping security, diplomacy, and daily life in communities around the world. We begin with the region most in focus and then move outward to related legal, political, and security milestones.In Israel, the high court ruled that Hapoel Tel Aviv supporters may wear shirts featuring anti-police imagery at matches, ruling after a petition from fans who argued for equal treatment and expression. The decision marks a notable moment in how public protest and athletic events intersect with security concerns and civil liberties. Officials emphasized that the ruling boundaries expressions at games, while authorities retain the prerogative to address any threats or disruptions that might arise in the stadium setting.Turning to the Gaza context, authorities report that at least four buildings collapsed in recent hours as a result of ongoing war damage and weather conditions. One collapse occurred on the eastern side of a high-rise near the Al-Quds hospital in Tel al-Hawa, another in the Jabalia area, a four-story structure behind the northern beachfront in the Shati refugee camp, and a portion of a building in the Al-Handaoui family area in the Shaikh Razwan neighborhood. The incidents underscore the continued vulnerability of urban areas in Gaza to structural failures amid years of conflict and weather-related stress.On the intelligence and security front, reporting from the Kan public broadcaster in Israel indicates that, less than a day before the October 7, 2023, attack, drones over Gaza identified Hamas activity near the tunnel complex thought to hold hostages. The findings suggest that a fragment of information reached the Southern Command but was not interpreted as an imminent attack in the moment. The revelations come as Israel reviews internal probes into intelligence failures related to Hamas’s broader plans, aiming to strengthen how such signals are evaluated and acted upon in the future.In international diplomacy, China has sought changes to the text of a renewal for the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force mandate on the Syria-Israel-Golan border, prompting the United States to oppose those modifications. As a result, a planned Security Council vote to extend the UNDOF mission for six more months was pulled from the agenda. The delay highlights ongoing friction within the council over peacekeeping tools and regional stability in a volatile border area.A related regional report notes that a Lebanese-backed outlet, Al-Akhbar, cited a Egyptian official suggesting that a broader US-led commercial realignment with Israel could be part of steps to ease regional tensions. The aim described was to reintegrate Israel into broader regional frameworks and reduce isolation in the wake of hostilities in Gaza. The reporting underscores how energy, trade, and security considerations are increasingly interwoven with diplomacy as actors seek to manage risk and encourage stability.In a parallel thread of policy discussion, a White House-endorsed outline for Gaza’s reconstruction, described in a major American newspaper as a 32-slide briefing labeled “Sunrise,” reportedly contemplates a substantial investment—around 112 billion dollars over the decade-long horizon. The plan reportedly envisions a mix of luxury coastal development, high-speed rail, and smart-grid electricity infrastructure guided by artificial intelligence. Officials caution that the plan’s viability hinges on security assurances and the willingness of Hamas to forswear armed capabilities, reflecting skepticism within many circles about financing and implementation in a conflicted environment.In Canada, authorities announced charges against three Toronto-area men—Osman Azizov, Fahad Sadaat, and Waleed Khan—accusing them of terrorism-related offenses tied to alleged attempts to kidnap Jewish individuals and women. Waleed Khan faces additional terrorism-related charges. Canadian officials highlighted that the alleged plots were carried out by individuals some of whom had connections to broader narratives about anti-Jewish violence and calls to escalate threats in North America. The case illustrates the real-world consequences of violent extremism narratives and emphasizes the ongoing vigilance by security services in diverse communities.Iranian authorities, meanwhile, reported the execution of Akil Kashavaraz, an Iranian national described as having acted as an intelligence operative for the Israeli side. Officials say Kashavaraz conducted hundreds of intelligence and surveillance operations, including photographing military sites. The case is being cited by authorities as part of ongoing...
