A multi-car collision occurred Monday morning on Ocean Parkway near Avenue V in Brooklyn, involving five vehicles and resulting in 13 people being transported to the hospital by Flatbush Hatzolah. Fortunately, none of the injuries were life-threatening. Security camera footage captured the dramatic moment (see below) when a speeding vehicle collided with several others, leading to the pileup. The NYPD is currently investigating the incident to determine the cause of the crash and any potential charges. Emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene to provide medical assistance, and traffic on Ocean Parkway was temporarily affected.

At a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, former President Donald Trump confirmed that he spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, discussing the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. During the rally, Trump ripped President Joe Biden for reportedly advising Netanyahu on military decisions. Trump said that Biden told Netanyahu, “don’t do this, don’t do that,” in reference to the war against Hamas and Hezbollah, but that Netanyahu ignored the advice. “Bibi didn’t listen to him and I’ll tell you what, they’re in a much stronger position now than they were three months ago,” Trump said. Trump highlighted recent Israeli military operations, including the assassinations of key terror figures, as evidence of Israel’s stronger stance.

Security was noticeably extra tight as over 50,000 people flocked to the Kosel on Sunday morning, the third day of Chol Hamoed in Eretz Yisrael, for Birchas Kohanim. Thousands of Israel Police and Border Police officers were deployed to the area to ensure visitors’ safety. Although tens of thousands of Jews participated in the tefillah, photos of the Kosel from afar show a noticeably smaller crowd than past years.

In a stunning exchange on Thursday, Vice President Kamala Harris appeared to lend credence to a protester accusing Israel of genocide during a campaign stop at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The moment unfolded when Harris was interrupted by a demonstrator wearing a keffiyeh, who loudly accused Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians. “I know what you’re speaking of. I want a ceasefire. I want the hostage deal done. I want the war to end,” Harris began, seemingly attempting to diffuse the situation. But the protester quickly escalated, shouting, “But what about the genocide? What about the genocide though?” Instead of firmly dismissing the accusation, Harris responded, “I respect your right to speak, but I’m speaking right now,” triggering cheers from the crowd.

The IDF has intensified their military operations in both the Gaza Strip and southern Lebanon, targeting terrorist infrastructure and combatants linked to Hezbollah and Hamas. In southern Lebanon, IDF ground forces have been actively dismantling Hezbollah’s terrorist infrastructure, eliminating combatants, and confiscating weapons. The Israel Air Force (IAF) has played a significant role, eliminating over 65 Hezbollah fighters and striking multiple terrorist sites, including launchers aimed at Israeli civilians and various infrastructure targets. In the Gaza Strip, the IDF continues operations across northern, southern, and central regions.

The IDF has released video footage showing Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar on the night before the October 7 attack, retreating with his family into an underground tunnel network beneath his home in Khan Younis. The video shows him transporting equipment and supplies for an extended stay underground. According to the IDF, this footage was retrieved from Gaza several months ago. “Even on the eve before the brutal massacre, Sinwar was busy with his survival and the survival of his family,” said IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari. “A few hours before the massacre, Sinwar and his family escaped alone to the tunnel.

A video purporting to show dozens of North Korean recruits lining up to collect Russian military fatigues has been released by Ukrainian officials, who say it shows the introduction of troops sent by Pyongyang into the conflict. The video, published by Ukraine’s Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security, which operates under the Culture and Information Ministry, allegedly shows North Korean soldiers standing in line to pick up bags, clothes and other apparel from Russian servicemen. “We received this video from our own sources. We cannot provide additional verification from the sources who provided it to us due to security concerns,” said Ihor Solovey, the head of the center.

Israeli forces in Gaza killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the chief architect of last year’s attack on Israel that sparked the war, the IDF said Thursday. Troops appeared to have run across him unknowingly in a battle, only to discover afterwards that a body in the rubble was Israel’s most-wanted man. Israeli leaders celebrated his killing as a settling of scores just over a year after Hamas-led terrorists killed some 1,200 people in Israel and kidnapped 250 others. They also presented it as a turning point in the campaign to destroy Hamas, urging the group to surrender and release some 100 hostages still in Gaza. “Hamas will no longer rule Gaza. This is the start of the day after Hamas,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.

CBS News is once again under fire after House Speaker Mike Johnson accused the network of selectively editing portions of his interview on Face the Nation, which aired over the weekend. Johnson took to social media on Monday night, sharing three video segments on X that revealed how CBS cut out key parts of his responses, including criticisms of the Biden-Harris administration. In a series of posts, Johnson highlighted the network’s decision to remove five minutes from his nearly 15-minute interview, which he claimed were crucial to his points on election integrity and disaster response. “CBS has been under fire for selectively editing their interviews to PROMOTE Democrats and UNDERMINE Republicans,” Johnson wrote in one of his posts.
