Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - September 25, 2026, 01 PM Eastern

IDF forces have confirmed the elimination of Hamas commanders Hassan Mahmoud Siam and Adham Sabhi Salim Ziara, who were involved in the October 7 massacre and held Israeli hostages. Hamas Finance Department Chief Muhammad Abu Alwan was also killed. In international developments, the UN human rights office has added 61 companies to its database of businesses operating in Israeli West Bank settlements, potentially leading to boycotts. Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar continues efforts to encourage foreign embassies to relocate to Jerusalem, while Israel, the US, and Abraham Accords partners met in New York to deepen regional cooperation, with Kazakhstan preparing to join the framework. Domestically, reports suggest Prime Minister Netanyahu did not disclose an alleged Emirati warning about the October 7th attack at an early briefing, while protesters demand information on a call he had with the Dutch Prime Minister on the day of the attack. Allegations of election interference targeting voter abstention have also surfaced. In economic news, an Israeli soccer team will play a European match in Germany due to a ban by a Belgian city citing security concerns.
