Israel Today: Ongoing War Report - September 24, 2026, 04 PM Eastern

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the UN General Assembly on Thursday, encountering walkouts from delegates and delivering a sharp critique of what he termed 'moral cowards' for their selective outrage, particularly regarding Iran. He also addressed the ongoing threat from Iran, with IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir emphasizing the integration of the new INS Drakon submarine to bolster Israel's covert, long-range capabilities. In defense news, Latvia's Defense Minister visited Israel expressing interest in acquiring advanced air defense and counter-drone systems. Meanwhile, the Committee to Protect Journalists has updated its casualty count for the Gaza war, removing 20 individuals previously listed as killed journalists after determining they had engaged in combat. On a positive note, Ben-Gurion University's 'Leaders' program is fostering entrepreneurship as a mindset for leadership and resilience among students.
