For Rockland DA a Prosecutor or Persecutor?
Another election is coming this Tuesday November 5th and is shaping up to be the most consequential for the Orthodox community in Rockland County.  While there is occasionally a question as to which candidates to support, that is not the case this year.

Israel has expressed concern that the funding towards the Lebanese Armed Forces have supported Hezbollah. The LAF, which received $100 million last year from the United States, and Hezbollah are known to have cooperated together.

Speaking at a graduation ceremony for Israeli Air Defense Command officers on Oct. 30, Israel Air Force commander Maj. Gen. Amikam Norkin warned that the challenges facing the new officers were “growing more complex.”
“The security challenge is becoming more complex. In addition to the missiles and rockets, there are also attack drones and cruise missiles now,” said Norkin.
Norkin told the officers that the Air Defense Command was steadily becoming a more significant component of all IAF missions, and that he would soon be meeting them at their posts, defending the people and the country.

Israel’s Electric Corporation (IEC) will be increasing power cuts in West Bank starting November 17 due to a 1 billion NIS in unpaid debt, according to a report from Hebrew news outlet Kan. The first stage of power cuts was announced in September.
In August, Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA) reached an agreement in which the PA would pay 300 million shekels to cover the debt owed to the IEC.
