Amid rising regional tensions, the IDF has doubled its alert status in the north. In the West Bank, a photographer was attacked by Israeli settlers, prompting demands for a thorough investigation from the Washington Post CEO and condemnation from President Isaac Herzog. Domestically, police dispersed Haredi protesters blocking Highway 4, as pre-election polls show a tight race between blocs.
