Israeli military forces have intensified operations along the northern border, conducting overnight raids in southern Lebanon and targeting buildings used by Hezbollah. This marks the second such ground operation in recent days, as the military braces for extended conflict in the region. Meanwhile, a newly appointed panel of former senior officers has found that most internal military investigations into failures surrounding the October 7 attacks were inadequate, highlighting areas needing improvement.

In leadership news, Itai Ofir is set to become the military's new legal chief after his appointment was ratified, despite some controversy over the process. The World Zionist Organization has also finalized a leadership agreement, with Rabbi Doron Perez and Yaakov Hagoel set to share the top role over the next five years following tense negotiations. Additionally, Yad Vashem has announced a milestone in its mission to recover the names of Holocaust victims, unveiling a new exhibit to honor their memory.
