A day after Israel and the Hamas terror organization entered into a ceasefire, ending two days for rocket attacks on the Jewish state, an air raid siren was accidentally sounded in an IDF base inside of Tel Aviv.
The incident occurred just after 12:00 p.m. Tuesday at the Kirya base in Tel Aviv, when a siren was suddenly sounded, leaving Israelis on nearby streets in panic, with some streets coming to a standstill.
Local police assured residents that there was no security situation in the area, and calmness was soon restored.

In a speech that aired on MTV (Lebanon) on May 2, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said that Hezbollah has the capability to invade the Golan and that Israel acknowledges this fact.
He said that Israel is afraid to “get entangled” in Gaza and promised that if Israel’s army so much as thinks of invading southern Lebanon, it will be “crushed and destroyed for the world’s TV channels to see.”The audience then chanted: “We respond to your call, oh Nasrallah!”
The speech was delivered on the anniversary of the death of Hezbollah military leader Mustafa Badreddine.

Kachol Lavan Party leader and former Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Benny Gantz laid out his own alternative plan for dealing with the Gazan threat during a visit to Israel’s rocket-stricken south on Sunday.
Speaking before a ceasefire went into effect early on Monday, Gantz praised local communities for their ability to continue to function under heavy rocket fire. Addressing a meeting of local council representatives, he stated, “What the State of Israel needs to do is very simple. It needs to increase attacks, to act with great power against Hamas in the Gaza Strip in a manner that will bring back deterrence to the right and correct place.”

A picture of a young pregnant mother protecting her two-year-old daughter with her body during rocket fire on southern Israel over the weekend has gone viral.
According to Hebrew news website Mako, the dramatic photo was taken by the child’s father, who was protecting the two from above.
The family lives in Moshav Ge’a in southern Israel, a few miles from the city of Ashkelon. The area has taken massive rocket fire from Gaza over the last two days.

Up to 1 million plant and animal species are on the verge of extinction, with devastating implications for human survival, according to a United Nations report released Monday.
The report’s findings underscore the conclusions of numerous scientific studies that say human activity is wreaking havoc on the wild kingdom, threatening the existence of everything from giant whales to small flowers and insects that are almost impossible to see with the naked eye.
But the global report by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services goes a step further than previous studies by linking the loss of species to humans and analyzing its effect on food and water security, farming and economies.

New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) on Monday filed a lawsuit against the Treasury Department and IRS, arguing that the agencies have failed to respond to information requests about their guidance reducing donor disclosure requirements for certain tax-exempt groups.
“My office depends on these critical donor disclosure forms to be able to adequately oversee non-profit organizations in New York,” said James, who filed the suit alongside New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal (D).
