Shmuel Belvoy, the father of Yehuda, the 29-year-old man who was abused at at a branch of the Supersol supermarket chain in Gush Etzion, spoke out Wednesday about how he found out his son was being abused.
“My son told me he has been suffering daily for five years, and it hurts me that all this time he didn’t talk. My wife and I didn’t know anything. He is a special needs child. He has anxieties. He is afraid of his own shadow. And mentally he’s like a little kid,” Belvoy told News 13 host Amnon Levy.
He noted that a friend he had contacted revealed the video of the abuse to him. “He told me ‘I have a video and I will show it to you, but don’t faint, be strong. I saw the video and I was exposed to it for the first time, and cried like I never cried.'”

A cyber attack by the United States against Iranian computer systems on June 20 “wiped out a critical database used by Iran’s paramilitary arm to plot attacks against oil tankers and degraded Tehran’s ability to covertly target shipping traffic in the Persian Gulf, at least temporarily,” reported The New York Times on Wednesday, citing senior U.S. officials.
The regime has been recovering data wiped out in the attack and attempting to “restart some of the computer systems—including military communications networks—taken offline,” the officials told the outlet.

MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell began his show Tuesday night with a bombshell allegation: that Russian billionaires “close to Vladimir Putin” had co-signed a loan that was given to President Donald Trump by a foreign bank.
The brief report, which O’Donnell credited to a single source, was yet another piece of intrigue about Trump’s finances and connections to Russia, a major point of inquiry the past few years.
But O’Donnell distanced himself from the allegations Wednesday, saying his report was “an error in judgment” that hadn’t gone through the network’s verification and standards process.
“I shouldn’t have reported it and I was wrong to discuss it on the air,” he said, promising to address the issue on his show Wednesday.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday denied a report that he had urged aides to break a myriad of federal laws and told them he would pardon them if necessary to get his long-promised southern border wall built.
“Another totally Fake story in the Amazon Washington Post (lobbyist) which states that if my Aides broke the law to build the Wall (which is going up rapidly), I would give them a Pardon. This was made up by the Washington Post only in order to demean and disparage – FAKE NEWS!” Trump tweeted.
The Washington Post on Tuesday reported that Trump has instructed aides to take extreme measures— including fast-tracking construction contracts and skirting environmental regulations— to make sure the wall is built in time for the 2020 election.

Puerto Rico was spared the brunt of hurricane-force winds from Dorian that tore through the British and US Virgin Islands Wednesday, flooding roads and leaving areas without power.
But the threat is far from over for the mainland, with Dorian forecast to strengthen into a “powerful hurricane” as it heads toward Florida and other parts of the east coast.
As of 8 p.m. ET, the eye of Hurricane Dorian was located roughly 50 miles northeast of San Juan with hurricane-force winds extending 15 miles from the center of the storm, CNN meteorologist Dave Hennen said.
