While the conflict in Gaza raged on, Israeli forces apprehended a man believed to be working with the Shin Bet, only to discover he had been betraying them from within. Under questioning, the man admitted that he was, in fact, a double agent.
During his interrogation, the operative confessed that his primary task had been to mislead Israel’s security officials and lull them into complacency ahead of the devastating October 7, 2023, Hamas assault.
Channel 12 News aired a report Tuesday evening disclosing that this agent deliberately misinformed his handlers just hours before the attack commenced.

Florida Congressman and gubernatorial candidate Byron Donalds visited Lubavitch Educational Center on Monday and met with fifty rabbis, community activists, and representatives of the South Florida Jewish community and its local Jewish schools. The congressman was joined by his wife, Erika Donalds, who works for the US Secretary of Education, Miami-Dade County Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz, and community activist Barbara Feingold. “As the largest Jewish school in the US outside New York, Congressman Donalds’s visit here is a powerful affirmation of the shared values that bind our community to his vision for Florida’s future,” said Rabbi Benjy Korf, LEC’s head of school.

We are a community that cares. When a child is sick, we seek the best doctors. When someone needs help, we show up. And Baruch Hashem, when it comes to mental health, we’ve come a long way. People are going to therapy. We’re talking more openly. The stigma is breaking. But something isn’t adding up. People are spending years in therapy — and still suffering. The anxiety is still there. The depression hasn’t lifted. The trauma still haunts. Relationships remain broken. And families feel like they’re drowning.

Not when someone is truly struggling. Not when they need to get better.

Edan Alexander, who was freed from Hamas captivity on Monday, endured extreme physical and psychological hardship during his time in Gaza. According to his own account, the early days of his abduction were “hell,” with much of that period spent restrained and blindfolded. His mother, Yael, said Tuesday evening that the constant bombings he experienced left him paralyzed with fear. At one point, a tunnel in which he was being held caved in, but he narrowly escaped without injury.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced on Tuesday the creation of a new municipal office focused exclusively on tackling antisemitism. Named the Mayor’s Office to Combat Antisemitism, this initiative will be “dedicated to fighting antisemitism in all forms and keeping New Yorkers safe,” according to a statement from the mayor’s office. City officials noted that this marks the first time such an office has been established in any major U.S. city.
The move comes in response to a troubling trend: the New York City Police Department reported that in 2024, more than half of all hate crimes in the city targeted Jewish residents. That figure has continued to climb, reaching 62% during the first quarter of 2025.
