Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - October 2, 2026, 12 AM Eastern

Host Noa Levi brings you the latest from Israel Today: Ongoing War Report. This hour, we cover a dramatic mid-air incident involving a flydubai airliner, where a violent cockpit altercation led to a steep dive before a safe emergency landing. We also report on the arrest of a former U.S. Department of Energy employee charged with providing material support, including drone and explosive components, to Yemen's Houthi terrorist organization. Plus, California becomes the first U.S. state to recognize 'Jewish' as an ethnic and racial identity, a move aimed at improving data collection for community support and combating hate crimes.
