Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - August 27, 2026, 06 PM Eastern

This hour on Israel Today: Ongoing War Report, we look at a significant shift in Israeli domestic politics as former IDF General Ofer Winter's new party, 'Amcha Yisrael,' shows strong early poll numbers, potentially securing four Knesset seats and bolstering the right-wing bloc. In security news, the IDF has eliminated two Hamas commanders in Gaza who were reportedly advancing attacks and rebuilding the organization's capabilities. We also have positive news from Nefesh B’Nefesh, reporting a record-breaking August for North American immigration to Israel, with projections indicating 2026 could be one of the organization's strongest years for aliyah.
