?מה נשתנה הלילה הזה “Why is this night different, citizens of Israel? On this night, 133 of our dear brothers and sisters are not around the Seder table, and they are still held hostage by Hamas in hellish conditions. We have already freed 124 of our hostages and we are committed to returning them all […]

President Trump made perhaps his harshest comments against Israel yet in an interview with conservative Hugh Hewitt, urging Israel to end the war quickly and admonishing them for being criticized as genocidal maniacs across the world. “You’ve got to get it over with, and you have to get back to normalcy. And I’m not sure […]

A video showing a London police officer debating the offensiveness of swastikas with a woman during a pro-Palestinian rally has sparked widespread criticism on social media.

In an interview with Lebanon’s Bel Moubashar Online, Osama Hamden, a senior official in the Hamas political bureau, stated unequivocally that the group has no regrets over the October 7 attack and forewarned of a larger impending conflict.

In the course of the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza early Thursday morning as part of Operation Shield and Arrow, one of the IAF pilots spotted two “uninvolved” children in the area. The pilot aborted the strike to avoid harming the children. “Stop, stop, there’s a child outside, two children” a pilot can be heard saying in a video of the incident published by the IDF. Earlier Thursday morning, Israel carried out a targeted elimination of Ali Ghali, a top Islamic Jihad terrorist, the commander of the Gaza rocket launching force – the fourth senior Islamic Jihad terrorist to be eliminated since the operation began. Two other Islamic Jihad operatives who were hiding with Ghali in an apartment in Khan Yunis were killed as well. (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)

In an incredible show of communal unity, frum residents of Stamford Hill galvanized to raise the funds necessary to supply Stamford Hatzolah with a desperately needed fifth ambulance. Two of Hatzolah’s current ambulances are around 15 years old, while the other two have been in use for nearly a decade. In less than two days after the campaign was launched by non-Hatzolah-affiliated community members, the drive raised over 150,000 British pounds – enough to cover the cost of a brand-new, high-tech ambulance. A bonus round that followed brought in approximately 70,000 more pounds, allowing Hatzolah to purchase two specially equipped emergency response vehicles.

An Arab mob sparred with two Jews on Manhattan’s Upper East Side on Wednesday, who turned out to be not only Israelis but former Golani IDF soldiers. It’s not clear what provoked the scuffle but one of the Israelis is seen in the video holding an Israeli flag. Policemen quickly arrived at the scene and fended the mob off and it appears from the video that the Arabs resorted to throwing objects at the Jews instead, namely shoes. At the end of the video, policemen are seen arresting one of the Israelis for unknown reasons but perhaps he threw the first punch.
