Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - September 12, 2026, 08 PM Eastern

Key updates from Israel: France and 12 other nations have declared intent to restrict trade with Israeli settlements, a move critically analyzed as political theater lacking legal force. An Israeli documentary alleging mass civilian casualties in Gaza, 'NAZA,' has been met with a categorical rejection from the IDF. Meanwhile, allegations emerge of the Houthis using AI to fabricate a retreat order, and Israel anticipates a surge in immigration driven by global antisemitism. Political developments include an alliance between Arab factions for upcoming elections and an Israeli artist facing boycotts at the Venice Biennale.
