Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - September 21, 2026, 08 AM Eastern

This is Israel Today: Ongoing War Report. Houthi fighters in Yemen are advancing towards key strategic heights, posing a threat to the Red Sea coast and global energy supplies, with reports indicating U.S. strikes were called off last minute. In Gaza, hundreds of thousands of children are returning to damaged and makeshift schools for the first time in three years, facing economic struggles for basic supplies. We also have reports of a massive explosion at an ammunition depot in Aleppo, Syria, with the government attributing it to an accident and denying any Israeli involvement.
