Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - September 11, 2026, 03 PM Eastern

Iran is reportedly utilizing advanced AI, including its own Claude model, for military strategy development, targeting U.S. naval forces and Jewish organizations, while also conducting sophisticated phishing operations. Iran-backed Houthi rebels have reportedly seized Perim Island, solidifying their control over a vital Red Sea shipping route. In Lebanon, a senior official warns that Israeli strikes extending beyond Hezbollah targets are creating backlash and hindering disarmament efforts, as diplomatic talks remain stalled. Meanwhile, a Rosh Hashanah dinner in Phuket, Thailand, was canceled due to fears of violent protests and rising antisemitic rhetoric.
