Germans on Saturday mourned the victims of a terror attack in which authorities say a doctor drove into a busy outdoor X-Mas market, killing five people, injuring 200 others. The attack Friday evening in Magdeburg, about 130 kilometers (80 miles) west of Berlin, killed a 9-year-old and four adults and injured 41 people badly enough that authorities warned the death toll could rise. The driver, a 50-year-old doctor who immigrated from Saudi Arabia in 2006, surrendered to police at the scene. He’s being investigated for five counts of suspected murder and 205 counts of suspected attempted murder, prosecutor Horst Walter Nopens said at a news conference.

The Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) released harrowing bodycam footage on Thursday of the dramatic confrontation between Chicago Police officers and a the illegal Muslim terrorist who shot a Jewish man on his way to shul on a Shabbos morning in West Rogers Park. The incident began on the morning of October 26, one day after Simchas Torah, when 22-year-old Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi shot a 39-year-old Jewish man in the shoulder as the victim walked to shul along the 2600 block of West Farwell Avenue. First responders arriving at the scene were met with gunfire, as Abdallahi allegedly opened fire on them, striking an ambulance but miraculously injuring no officers or paramedics. Police returned fire, hitting Abdallahi multiple times.

In a segment brimming with wild speculation and eyebrow-raising leaps of logic, the hosts of The View turned their attention to Elon Musk’s political influence, weaving an elaborate tale of intrigue involving Musk, JD Vance, and Donald Trump. The discussion, if it can be called that, spiraled into borderline paranoia, with the panel questioning whether Musk and Vance might be plotting to oust—or worse, eliminate—President-elect Trump. The segment opened with Whoopi Goldberg lamenting Musk’s alleged sway over House Speaker Mike Johnson after Johnson admitted consulting Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy before opposing a continuing resolution to prevent a government shutdown. Goldberg, with characteristic hyperbole, declared, “I think Elon Musk believes he’s president.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) made it clear that Democrats are not stepping in to help Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) as he struggles to navigate turmoil within his own party over a government funding bill. On Tuesday, Johnson introduced a continuing resolution (CR) to fund the government through March 14, averting a shutdown scheduled for December 21. However, the proposal quickly unraveled. While some conservative House members voiced concerns, the real blow came when Elon Musk launched a social media barrage against the bill, posting over 70 tweets, many of them inaccurate. President-elect Donald Trump soon joined the fray, threatening to primary Republicans who supported the measure. Facing mounting opposition, Johnson scrapped the plan entirely.

In a joint operation earlier today, the IDF and Shin Bet security agency successfully eliminated Tarek Doush, a senior figure in the Tulkarm terrorist network, in an airstrike. Tarek Doush had been a central figure in recruiting and coordinating terrorists over the past year, supported by Iranian funding and Lebanese operatives linked to the Maqdah family. His network was responsible for numerous attacks, including shootings targeting IDF soldiers, checkpoints, and nearby communities along the Judea and Samaria security fence. The network also plotted attacks within Israeli territory. The strike also eliminated Dossam Awfi, another key operative within the network, along with two additional terrorists.

Sunni Sheikh Hassan Mourab, who is considered a supporter of Hezbollah, acknowledged in an interview with Lebanese television that the terrorist organization is in a very difficult situation – in fact, “Israel has left nothing of Hezbollah.” Referring to the series of assassinations of senior Hezbollah figures, he said: “The organization has suffered severe blows at the high command levels, the lower levels, and in the infrastructure in southern Lebanon. What else is left that the enemy has not achieved? What else is left for them to do?” he wondered. “What is left for us? Tell me.” “Southern Lebanon has been completely destroyed. And at the end, Hezbollah was also forbidden from operating weapons inside Lebanon and outside it. Okay? So what is left of Hezbollah? Nothing.

White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby delivered an emotional moment at the Israeli Embassy’s annual Chanukah celebration in Washington, D.C., as he recited a prayer for hostages being held in Gaza. Wearing a black yarmulke, Kirby, who is not Jewish, solemnly recited the prayer in English. After concluding, he declared in Hebrew, “Am Yisrael Chai,” meaning “The Nation of Israel Lives.” Kirby’s heartfelt gesture resonated deeply with attendees, many of whom applauded his steadfast support for Israel. Over the past year, Kirby has become a prominent figure in the pro-Israel community, consistently defending Israel’s actions against Hamas during White House press briefings.

The IDF has carried out a huge attack in Yemen early Thursday morning local time. Massive explosions were reported in multiple locations, with strikes primarily reported in the Houthi-controlled capital, Sana’a. Israel has not attacked Yemen for about three months, since the end of September, although the missiles continue to be fired multiple times a week into Israel, including tonight. Thankfully, Israel’s missile defense systems have been successfully intercepting them, though tonight’s attack caused significant damage due to falling debris.
