In an interview with Lebanon’s Al-Mayadeen channel, Hezbollah’s Secretary-General Naim Qassem unveiled fresh details about how the group reacted immediately following the October 7, 2023, Hamas assault on Israel.
According to Qassem, Hamas reached out to Hezbollah just half an hour after initiating the attack, informing then-leader Hassan Nasrallah of their operation and urging Hezbollah to fully join the battle. “Hamas contacted then-Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, informed him of the operation, and asked the group to join the fighting in full force.”

In an unusual legal move, a chareidi family from Kiryat Shemonah petitioned Israel’s Family Court for special permission allowing their 17-year-old daughter to marry before reaching the legal age of 18. The request was rooted in halachic concerns regarding modesty and the prohibition of close contact before marriage.
The girl’s intended husband is 21 years old. The two met when the girl’s family was evacuated from their home during the recent war and temporarily took refuge with his family. Although her parents initially opposed the relationship due to religious concerns, they later warmed to the idea and ultimately gave their blessing for the shidduch.

In what witnesses are calling an open miracle, a bris milah was performed last night just moments before sunset under extraordinary circumstances after a sudden and drastic drop in the infant’s hemoglobin levels made the bris halachically permissible. The event unfolded exactly as foretold earlier in the day by the baby’s great-grandfather, the renowned posek, Rav Moshe Sternbuch.

During a speech delivered yesterday, the Satmar Rebbe responded strongly to reports of increased efforts by Israeli authorities to crack down on individuals evading military service, including yeshiva and kollel students. He urged unwavering commitment to derech haTorah, the path of Torah.

Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu paid a visit to the White House on Tuesday for a follow-up discussion with President Donald Trump, marking their second meeting within a 24-hour span.
The meeting, which lasted approximately ninety minutes, took place against the backdrop of high-stakes negotiations between Israel and Hamas. These talks, facilitated by Qatari officials in Doha, aim to secure the release of hostages held in Gaza.
Neither Netanyahu nor Trump addressed the press following their closed-door discussion.
According to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office, “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu concluded his second meeting with US President Donald Trump a short time ago.”
