Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - August 19, 2026, 05 PM Eastern

On Israel Today, we begin with escalating tensions in Syria, where Israel launched airstrikes on a military airbase following a high-level diplomatic call discussing Turkey's growing influence. The US is making a significant financial commitment to a proposed Gaza peacekeeping force, pledging over $200 million for the International Stabilization Force. We also look at ongoing international legal efforts targeting IDF soldiers, a federal ruling on an alleged antisemitic attack involving an Israeli flag, and domestic political criticism directed at National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. A tragic incident in Ashdod is also reported.
