Everything was perfect. Right by the rules. It’s an honor to be voting … I voted for a guy named ‘Trump.” Trump arrived in Florida Friday night, spending the night at his Mar-a-Lago resort.

Mixed Greens Cafe, a Kosher restaurant in the Gravesend section of Brooklyn, was one of the hundreds of businesses in the “Red Zone” visited by inspectors this week.

Online viewers quickly came to the restaurant’s defense, asserting that the inspector had wrongfully issued the summons. On Wednesday night, the owner of Mixed Greens, Jacob Green, was interviewed on Fox News by Tucker Carlson.

The following is from the Wednesday morning press conference with Mayor DeBlasio: Moderator: Next up is Reuvain from Hamodia. Question: Good morning, Mr. Mayor. I understand that the Governor – he has a press conference scheduled soon – there’s a possibility that he may announce that he’s allowing schools to open, assuming there’s a rigorous testing program, which would be overseen by the City. So, my question is if the Governor indeed does announce that how soon would the City be ready to implement such a program and with students who have already been sick previously, still need a negative test? Mayor: I’m going to turn to the doctors on your second question. On the first question we have not been given any details from the State as to what they intend for schools.

On Tuesday, the IDF discovered a terror tunnel that was in the process of being dug from inside Gaza that penetrated into Israeli territory. The tunnel was discovered by special sensors that the IDF put in place throughout the Gaza periphery as part of the new protective barrier surrounding the strip that is being built on the Israeli side of the border fence. IDF Spokesperson Brigadier-General Hadi Zilberman told Israeli press outlets that “over the past few hours IDF forces have exposed an offensive terrorist tunnel that crossed into Israeli territory, but did not cross the barrier that is being established these days.” “The tunnel was still in the process of being built so at no point did it pose a danger to the surrounding towns.
