Terrorists opened fire on Motzei Shabbos at Israelis security forces at the Shuafat checkpoint in east Jerusalem, critically injuring a Border Police officer and seriously injuring a security guard. A 22-year-old female officer who was critically injured was resuscitated at the scene and evacuated to Hadassah Har Hatzofim Hospital, where a team of doctors are fighting to save her life. A 25-year-old security guard who received a serious head injury and a woman who was lightly injured by shrapnel were also evacuated to Hadassah. According to initial reports, the terrorist who opened fire approached the checkpoint by foot and fled the scene afterward in a waiting car. A large number of security forces launched a manhunt for the suspects.

A Jewish family farm on the yishuv of Mechola in the Jordan Valley was deliberately set on fire by Palestinians on Yom Kippur morning at about 1:30 a.m. Eleven firefighting teams fought for hours throughout the night to extinguish the fire. Members of the Dor family, owners of the ‘HaAdamah Tova’ brand, had prepared their agricultural produce – vegetables and organic herbs cultivated for months – for sale beginning on Motzei Yom Kippur – but months of work went up in flames and the entire farm – their life’s work – was destroyed, including valuable agricultural equipment and tools worth millions of shekels. IDF trackers followed the tracks of the arsonists to the nearby Palestinian village of Ein Al-Beida.

Former President Donald Trump certainly isn’t lacking confidence. In a speech delivered to the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) Hispanic Leadership Conference in Miami, Florida on Wednesday, Trump made a bold claim. He said “very famous pollster” John McLaughlin told him, “‘Sir, if George Washington and Abraham Lincoln came alive from the dead and they formed a president-vice president team, you would beat them by 40%.’” “That’s how good our numbers were,” added Trump. Talks of Trump mounting a 2024 presidential run are still speculative, but the most recent YouGov poll has the former president leading the next top contender, Ron DeSantis, by just 3 percentage points. What would happen if George Washington and Abraham Lincoln also decide to also run in 2024 isn’t known.

In one photo, Johnny Lauder’s 86-year-old mother is in her Florida home, submerged nearly to her shoulders in black murky water, staring straight at the camera, mouth open. In another, she lies just above the waterline on a table, wrapped in sheets to keep warm. In yet another, she’s being pushed through the water in a wheelchair, her rescue nearly complete. The photos were taken after Hurricane Ian made landfall last Wednesday, bringing a powerful storm surge and 150 mph (241 kph) winds. They tell the story of Lauder’s journey to save his mother, Karen Lauder, from the home she refused to leave, despite the family’s pleading . He sent the short videos and photos to his family, letting them know he was OK. “That’s how I unintentionally documented the whole ordeal,” he said.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was having none of it when a CNN reporter attempted to corner him over evacuation orders in certain counties that came late – barely a day before Hurricane Ian struck the areas. CNN national correspondent Nadia Romero asked DeSantis about the late issuance of evacuation orders in Lee County, following a New York Times report that other counties issued evacuation orders on Monday, but Lee County waited until Tuesday. “Why do you stand behind Lee County’s decision to not have that mandatory evacuation until the day before the storm?” Romero asked DeSantis. “Well, did you – where was your industry stationed when the storm hit?” DeSantis shot back. “Were you guys in Lee County?

Tens of thousands of people packed into the Kosel plaza on Monday night for Erev Yom Kippur slichos, as authorities announced that more than a million people had come to the Kosel over the course of Elul. In attendance at the slichos Monday night were some of the leading rabbanim in Eretz Yisroel, including Harav Yitzchok Yosef shlit”a, Harav Dovid Lau shlit”a, and Harav Shmuel Rabinowitz shlit”a, as well as other well known individuals, including Yerushalayim Mayor Moshe Lyon, Western Wall Heritage Foundation president Mordechai Eliav, and others. The slichos began with Rabbi Rabinowitz telling the assemble: “With this slichos, we will daven for peace between one another.

An elderly Chareidi couple who was passing near a demonstration on Thursday was knocked to the ground by police aiming an anti-riot water cannon at them from only a few meters away. In the video, the couple can be seen trying to take cover behind the wall of a gas station before they are hit by a powerful spray of water, knocking them to the ground. The incident occurred as extremists blocked the entrance to Jerusalem during a protest over the arrest of an army deserter. The journalist who posted the video, Bar Shem-Ur, wrote: “Disturbing police brutality. An elderly Chareidi couple happened to be near a protest on Thursday at the entrance to Jerusalem.

Michael Flynn, the formerly respected Pentagon official and Trump national security advisor, predicted at a campaign event in Arizona that Republican governors across the country will declare war against the federal government. Speaking at an event in support of Mark Finchem, a far-right loon running for Arizona secretary of state, Flynn demanded that “90 percent” be disbanded. “Just lock ’em up,” Flynn told a cheering crowd. “States rights! Did you know that a governor can declare war? A governor can declare war, and we’re gonna probably see that.” Unfortunately for Mr. Flynn, his Constitutional knowledge is severely lacking, as it clearly states Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11 that only Congress has the power to declare war.

Vice President Kamala Harris came under withering criticism after saying that “communities of color” would be the first to receive federal assistance following Hurricane Ian’s devastation in Florida. “We have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity, understanding that we fight for equality, but we also need to fight for equity,” she said during a discussion at the Democratic National Committee’s Women’s Leadership Forum. “If we want people to be in an equal place sometimes we need to take into account those disparities and do that work.” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ spokeswoman Christina Pushaw blasted Harris for the comment. “This is false. @VP’s rhetoric is causing undue panic and must be clarified.
