    The time is now 02:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

    In a developing situation regarding Israel's ongoing conflict with Hamas, the Israeli Air Force has intensified its strikes on Hamas targets in northern Gaza early this morning. This action is part of a broader military campaign as tensions rise following the proposed hostage exchange and ceasefire deal. The deal is structured in three phases, beginning Sunday, during which Israel will release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange for hostages held by Hamas. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has indicated that military operations may resume if Hamas violates the terms of the agreement, which has created further uncertainty.

    During a cabinet meeting, Shin Bet Chief Ronen Bar warned of a potential increase in terrorist activities against Israelis, particularly in the West Bank. He presented necessary steps to address terrorist infrastructures, as violence escalates in areas like Silwan, Jerusalem, where clashes have erupted between youth and security forces. Netanyahu affirmed the government's commitment to American guarantees, suggesting that military action could be resumed if the situation demands it.

    In other domestic news, a tragic incident in Beit She'an resulted in the deaths of a two-year-old girl and her father following a fire in their home. Firefighters and emergency responders were unable to revive them after rescuing them from the blaze. This incident underscores the ongoing challenges faced by communities in Israel, where safety remains a concern amidst broader national issues.

    Additionally, the New York Stock Exchange reported notable gains over the weekend, with the Dow Jones rising by 0.76% and the Nasdaq composite climbing 1.6%. European markets also reflected positive sentiment, contributing to a global economic outlook that remains cautiously optimistic despite geopolitical tensions.

    As the situation continues to develop, stakeholders from various fronts are closely monitoring the impacts of the military actions and political maneuvers on both domestic and international scales.
