Hamas told its Al-Quds media outlet last week that a Hamas naval commando discovered a “killer attack dolphin” sent by the Zionist enemy. In a video published and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) Hamas is seen bragging about its elite naval forces and how “martyr” Muhammad Abu Anas first discovered a dolphin that “the enemy used to hunt down members of our naval forces at sea. “Abu Anas first removed devices attached to the dolphin that were meant to kill members of the Al-Qassam Brigades’ naval forces.” Hamas has deemed Abu Anas as a “martyr,” with some Arabic news sites saying he was killed by the dolphin. In actuality, he was killed by an Israeli strike during Operation Guardian of the Walls in May.

The Reform rabbi who was held hostage along with three congregants last Shabbos in Colleyville, Texas, released a statement thanking everyone who expended efforts into the safe resolution of the incident – but failed to remember the One who orchestrated his rescue. “I am thankful and filled with appreciation for all of the vigils and prayers and love and support, all of the law enforcement and first responders who cared for us, all of the security training that helped save us,” Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker wrote on Facebook. “I am grateful for my family. I am grateful for the CBI community, the Jewish community, the Human Community. I am grateful that we made it out I am grateful to be alive.” But then the Rabbi went on CBS on Monday morning.

A young girl was tragically struck by a hit-and-run vehicle in Flatbush, Monday morning. Sources tell YWN that the 15-year-old girl was making her way to Madison High School,  when she was struck by a vehicle at the intersection of Bedford Avenue and Avenue P. FDNY EMS as well as Flatbush Hatzolah responded to the scene. Unfortunately, she was pronounced dead at the scene. The NYPD was on the scene conducting an investigation, and the streets were closed to traffic. Flatbush Shomrim was requested by the NYPD to assist in obtaining security camera footage from nearby homes. The young girl resides in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn. Her identity was pending proper family notifications.

A terrorist carried out an attempted stabbing attack at the Gush Etzion Junction on Monday afternoon. The terrorist, armed with a knife, approached a bus stop full of IDF soldiers and attempted to stab one. The soldier opened fire and neutralized him. B’Chasdei Hashem, no Israelis were injured. “A terrorist got out of a vehicle armed with a knife and attempted to stab an IDF soldier,” the IDF stated. “The soldier shot toward the terrorist, who was neutralized. No IDF forces were injured.” Below, the terrorist can be seen lying on the ground after being shot, still clutching the knife. Following the attack, IDF forces are pursuing the vehicle in which the terrorist arrived at the junction. (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)

Another phony liberal exposed. NY Senator Kirsten Gillibrand apologized and promised to “do better” after a restaurant owner posted a video of her “blowing past [the] manager” and ignoring the Innovo Kitchen’s mask requirement. “The problem with NY politics in a nutshell,” the restaurant owner wrote on Instagram. “My Senator blowing past my manager before she can even ask her to put a mask on. Walking right past a really big sign that says ‘masks required to enter,'”. “The masks are a mandate from the Governor. As good citizens, agree or not, we must follow our leaders. Her guest is graciously wearing one. I guess Senator Gillibrand thinks that the Governor is wrong or she is special and above the rules,” the post continued. (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)

Authorities on Sunday identified a 44-year-old British national as the man who took four people hostage at a Texas synagogue for 10 hours before an FBI SWAT team stormed the building, ending a tense standoff that President Joe Biden called “an act of terror.” Malik Faisal Akram was shot and killed after the last of the hostages got out at around 9 p.m. Saturday at Congregation Beth Israel near Fort Worth. In a statement, the FBI said there was no indication that anyone else was involved, but it didn’t provide a possible motive. Akram could be heard ranting on a Facebook livestream of the services and demanding the release of a Pakistani neuroscientist who was convicted of trying to kill U.S. Army officers in Afghanistan.

He must’ve just heard they had a good Shabbos morning kiddush. The FBI says that the Muslim radical who took four people hostage at a Reform synagogue in Colleyville, Texas yesterday had nothing to do with the Jewish community, evidenced by the fact that he only made demands about freeing “his sister” – a rabid anti-Semite who blamed Israel for her incarceration – but didn’t make demands related to the Jewish community. Police were called to the synagogue at around 11 am Saturday morning while the temple’s services were being livestreamed on Facebook. Over the course of the incident, the hostage taker could be heard ranting and talking about religion.
