Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, delivered a strong warning to Iran, cautioning against any aggression during the U.S. transition period and highlighting Israel’s unwavering readiness to defend itself. Speaking to Fox News Digital, Danon made it clear that Israel is fully capable of responding to any threats and will not tolerate provocations from the Islamic Republic. Danon’s remarks follow recent threats from Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who vowed retaliation for Israel’s October 26 strategic airstrikes targeting Tehran. Araghchi claimed that Iran retains “the right to react… in our time and in the way we see fit.” In response, Danon reminded the world of Israel’s military superiority and its ability to strike any target in Iran.

The man accused of shooting an Orthodox Jewish man and firing on police and paramedics in Chicago last month had mapped out the locations of several shuls and Jewish schools in the days leading up to the attack in the North Side’s West Ridge neighborhood. Prosecutors said at a detention hearing on Friday that Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi, 22, used his cellphone to identify potential targets in the area before the October 26 shooting of a 39-year-old man who was walking to Shabbos morning davening. Among the addresses saved on Abdallahi’s phone was Ezras Yisroel, a shul just a block from the site of the attack. “This was not anything but a planned attack … an attempted assassination of these people,” Assistant State’s Attorney Anne McCord Rodgers said.

Political and security leaders in Israel on Sunday responded to the abduction and murder of Chabad Rav in the UAE, HaRav Tzvi Kogan, H’yd by Iranian terror agents. “I mourn with sorrow and outrage the murder of Rabbi Zvi Kogan,” President Isaac Herzog stated. “This vile antisemitic attack is a reminder of the inhumanity of the enemies of the Jewish people. It will not deter us from continuing to grow flourishing communities in the UAE or anywhere – especially with the help of the dedicated commitment and work of the Chabad emissaries all over the world. “I thank the UAE authorities for their swift action, and trust they will work tirelessly to bring the perpetrators to justice. Our thoughts and condolences are with Rabbi Kogan’s wife and family.

Emirati authorities announced on Sunday morning that they located the body of missing Chabad shliach HaRav Tzvi Kogan, H’yd, who was abducted and murdered by terrorists on behalf of Iran. Israel called the abduction and murder an “antisemitic terror attack.” Israeli security officials confirmed that Mossad teams were sent to Dubai to investigate the case, and they were also in contact with Turkish authorities. According to information they have received, the cell that carried out the act fled from Dubai to Turkey, complicating the investigation further. Rav Kogan, H’YD 41, was the assistant to Rabbi Levi Duchman, the Chief Rav of the Jewish kehilla in Dubai, and was considered a central figure among the Jewish and Israeli community in the city.
