Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - September 18, 2026, 03 PM Eastern

This edition of Israel Today covers a significant pro-Israel rally outside NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's home, as Jewish leaders highlight rising antisemitism. In Amsterdam, dozens of counter-protesters were arrested during a pro-Israel demonstration. Domestically, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir publicly stated Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not been responding to his calls, airing political tensions. We also report on a violent incident in the southern Hebron Hills where police are investigating an attack on a Palestinian woman. On a lighter note, we feature a farmer balancing agricultural work and IDF reserve duty, and the Israel Police's participation in an event honoring the Druze community.
