Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - September 18, 2026, 08 AM Eastern

This week on Israel Today: Ongoing War Report, we delve into new revelations about Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar's pre-October 7th warning of a 'huge surprise' to Israel. We also hear from Hunter Biden, who sharply criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling the situation in Gaza 'genocide.' Plus, we cover pro-Israel rallies in Amsterdam facing counter-protests and controversy over new Dutch import laws, and examine rising regional tensions including Syria's military buildup and large public demonstrations in Iran.
