British Airways announced on Friday that it will be halting all flights to Israel until at least August 1, citing ongoing safety risks amid heightened tensions in the region.
A spokesperson for the airline confirmed the move, which comes in the wake of a recent missile attack near Ben Gurion Airport by Iranian-backed Houthi militants. The strike earlier this month caused injuries and disrupted travel near Israel’s primary international gateway.

According to a report published by the Saudi daily Asharq Al-Awsat, Hamas is grappling with a deepening financial crisis as its war with Israel continues to rage throughout Gaza.
Insiders within the organization disclosed that Hamas is finding it increasingly difficult to meet payroll obligations—not just for its civilian government employees, but also for operatives in its armed forces and personnel in various affiliated branches.
The sources further noted that the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the group’s military arm, have gone nearly three months without paying their fighters. In addition to unpaid wages, they are also struggling to obtain vital equipment needed for ongoing combat operations.

In a visit ahead of Kabbalas HaTorah, the Mir Yerushalayim mashgiach, Hatzaddik Rav Binyomin Finkel, traveled from Eretz Yisroel to the United States to uplift and strengthen bnei hayeshivos in preparation for Matan Torah.
The central shmuess of the trip was delivered at Beis Medrash Govoha in Lakewood, where Rav Binyomin spoke passionately before the roshei yeshiva and thousands of talmidim.

Tthousands of bnei Torah packed the central beis medrash and surrounding halls of Yeshivas Mir in Yerushalayim to hear a special pre-Shavuos shmuess delivered by the rosh yeshiva of Ateres Shlomo, Rav Chaim Feinstein.
Rav Chaim spoke about the significance of kabbalas haTorah and the spiritual preparation required to receive the Torah anew each year on Shavuos.

Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva of Philadelphia and the zekan roshei yeshiva in America, continues to be treated in the Intensive Care Unit after being admitted shortly before the onset of Shabbos.
Rav Shmuel was first hospitalized on Wednesday night and is battling pneumonia. Despite being administered multiple rounds of antibiotics, his condition remains largely unchanged from before Shabbos.
However, family members report that the rosh yeshiva was alert and awake today.

Israeli residents have begun receiving unsettling anonymous phone calls featuring audio clips of hostages pleading for help, layered with background noises of explosions and chaos.
One of the calls includes a soundbite taken from a widely circulated video, in which hostage Yosef Chaim Ohana is heard shouting next to Elkana Bohbot: “What will happen in a moment when I can no longer be with him and he’s left alone?”
