Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - September 23, 2026, 11 AM Eastern

This hour, we bring you critical updates from Israel. Security forces responded to multiple car-ramming attempts, including one on Highway 443 where an IDF soldier was critically wounded and the attacker was killed. Diplomatic efforts continue as the U.S. and Iran engage in high-level shuttle talks mediated at the UN General Assembly. Domestically, Israel's Central Elections Committee has barred the Arab party Ra'am from the upcoming Knesset elections. We also have details on the arrival of a new advanced German-made submarine for the Israeli navy.
