Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - August 27, 2026, 10 AM Eastern

The IDF has admitted to mistakenly killing World Central Kitchen aid workers, announcing no criminal investigation will be opened despite international criticism. In Lebanon, the IDF struck Hezbollah targets following a drone attack. Meanwhile, IDF forces in the West Bank are being doubled due to rising Jewish extremist violence. On Gaza policy, Israel denies reopening the Erez crossing, while reporting continues of strikes within the Strip. A new ADL report details significant antisemitism in US teachers' unions, and an antisemitic incident involving an Irish man in France is reported. The episode also covers an unprecedented wave of aliyah from North America, Prime Minister Netanyahu's private concerns about upcoming elections, and a former hostage's crowdfunding efforts for recovery.
