Join Rotem Magen for today’s Israel War Update – Day 606, as she reports on the tragic deaths of three IDF soldiers—two medics and a commander—killed in an explosion during operations in Jabalia, Gaza. Over the Shavuot weekend, a troubling rise in murders and violence across Israel underscores deepening societal unrest. In the north, Kiryat Shmona remains nearly deserted, raising urgent concerns about the future of Israel’s border communities under Hezbollah threat.

The IDF continues strategic operations in central and southern Gaza, while antisemitic violence abroad is on the rise—highlighted by a brutal attack on an Israeli-American in Boulder, Colorado, for speaking Hebrew. Amid the pain, hope endures: Shavuot was celebrated once again in Kibbutz Nir'oz for the first time since October 7th, a powerful sign of resilience.
