In today's report, we cover criticisms of Israel's Gaza policy regarding Hamas's dismantling and the ongoing disruption of shipping to Eilat by the Houthis. We also address urgent security matters, including a planned attack and a fatal collision, alongside a former Shin Bet head's stark warning on synagogue security.
