A Florida man was arrested Wednesday and charged with a plot to “reboot” the U.S. government by planting a bomb at the New York Stock Exchange this week and detonating it with a remote-controlled device, according to the FBI. Harun Abdul-Malik Yener, 30, of Coral Springs, Florida, was charged with attempt to use an explosive device to damage or destroy a building used in interstate commerce. The FBI began investigating Yener in February based on a tip that he was storing “bombmaking schematics” in a storage unit. They found bomb-making sketches, many watches with timers, electronic circuit boards and other electronics that could be used for building explosive devices, according to the FBI. He had also searched online for things related to bomb-making since 2017, according to the FBI.

Gary Worthy, a career criminal with a history of violent offenses, was shot and killed in a confrontation with police Tuesday night in Queens, just months after a judge released him without bail despite multiple requests to detain him from prosecutors and his parole officer. The 57-year-old, who was on lifetime parole, had a criminal record spanning decades and had been arrested multiple times this year alone. On August 27, Queens Criminal Court Judge Edward Daniels ordered Worthy’s release during a hearing on assault and burglary charges, despite prosecutors asking for $120,000 bail and Worthy’s parole officer requesting that he be held without bail.

Senator Rand Paul, a longtime ally of President-elect Donald Trump, voiced strong opposition on Tuesday to Trump’s proposal to use the military for mass deportations. Speaking on Newsmax, Paul criticized the plan as both unnecessary and a dangerous precedent. “I think we should prioritize going after those who have committed crimes,” Paul said, citing statistics about violent offenders among undocumented immigrants. “There are 15,000 people in our country who have committed murder, and about 13,000 who have committed violent… crimes. That’s 28,000 people. Why don’t we start with that?” Paul also rejected the idea of deploying the military for immigration enforcement, calling it a violation of U.S. norms and laws. “I’m not in favor of sending the army into our cities to collect people.

The International Criminal Court in The Hague on Thursday approved arrest warrants against Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, on suspicion of war crimes. Similar warrants were also issued against senior Hamas officials. The immediate implication is that Netanyahu and Gallant will not be able to fly to destinations that adhere to the court’s instructions, including most Western countries—except for the United States—or risk being arrested. Since the ICC’s chief prosecutor Karim Khan, who is under investigation himself for morally corrupt behavior, requested arrest warrants against the Israeli officials, Israel has been working diplomatically behind the scenes with the U.S. and other countries to overturn the ruling.

A man in his 30s was murdered by shrapnel from a Hezbollah rocket fired at the northern city of Nahariya on Thursday. Hezbollah fired ten rockets and one hit the park, critically injuring the man. MDA EMT Dor Vaknin, said: “We arrived at an open area near a park and saw a man in his 30s lying unconscious with shrapnel wounds on his body. We performed medical checks but he showed no signs of life and we had to pronounce him dead.” Barak Lavi, a United Hatzalah, volunteer stated: “Bystanders told us he was hit by shrapnel while he was in the public park. Unfortunately, we had no choice but to wait for his death to be pronounced at the scene due to the nature of the serious injuries he sustained.” (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)

The IDF on Thursday morning announced the death of an IDF soldier who was killed in the same incident in which Ze’ev Erlich, H’yd, 71, was killed in southern Lebanon on Wednesday. The soldier was named as Sgt. Gur Kehati, H’yd, 20, from Nir Banim, a moshav in south-central Israel. He fought in the  Golani Brigade’s 13th Battalion. Another IDF officer was seriously wounded in the incident and Golani commander (res.) Yoav Yarom was moderately wounded. It was Yarom’s second injury in Lebanon. He lost a leg in Lebanon in 1993 but insisted on returning to service with a prosthesis after undergoing rehabilitation and receiving a prosthesis. He was again seriously wounded in battle eight years ago during a counterterrorism operation in an Arab village in the Shomron.

The Senate on Wednesday rejected three resolutions aimed at limiting the sale of offensive arms to Israel, underscoring growing dissent within the Democratic Party over the Biden administration’s support for Israel during its war against Hamas in Gaza. Nineteen senators – all Democrats – supported the measures, a notable increase from the eleven who backed a similar initiative in January. The resolutions, introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders and co-sponsored by Senators Peter Welch and Jeff Merkley, sought to block future transfers of tank rounds, mortar rounds, and Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs) to Israel. Sanders argued that Israel’s actions in Gaza violate international human rights laws.

The U.S. State Department issued a strong condemnation of Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir following the publication of photos showing him visiting the kever of Rabbi Meir Kahane HY’D, a figure regarded as an extremist by the US. Kahane’s ideology and actions have been associated with terrorism, and his Kach party was outlawed in Israel and designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. In a statement, a State Department spokesperson said, “As we’ve said on previous and similar occasions, celebrating the legacy of a terrorist and a terrorist organization is abhorrent. We strongly condemn any attempt to whitewash acts of terrorism.” The statement underscores ongoing tensions between the U.S.
