Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - September 19, 2026, 11 PM Eastern

Today on Israel Today: Ongoing War Report, we bring you critical updates from the ongoing conflict and its reverberations. Host Noa Levi discusses the significant admission by Gazan photojournalist Motaz Azaiza, who revealed he filmed Israeli hostages being beaten on October 7th but chose to withhold the footage, a decision now drawing sharp criticism for potentially betraying victims and journalistic ethics. Additionally, we examine new claims from an Emirati official that have revived questions about an alleged warning provided to Prime Minister Netanyahu prior to the October 7th attacks, while also touching upon ongoing debates within Israeli society concerning leadership and national direction.
