Israeli security forces overnight Wednesday arrested the terrorist who carried out the shooting attack on Wednesday evening at a checkpoint near Jenin, in the Shomron. Following the attack, the terrorist fled the scene, and IDF and police forces launched a manhunt. Eventually, with the aid of precise Shin Bet intelligence, the forces located the terrorist hiding in his home in the Arab village of Barta’a. They surrounded his home, and he eventually surrendered to the forces. The condition of the two IDF reservists injured in the attack, who were initially listed as being in moderate condition, later deteriorated and they are both now in serious condition. They were evacuated by helicopter from the scene of the attack to the hospital.

President Donald Trump has issued a proclamation designating Thursday as a day for the United States to celebrate victory in World War II as countries in Europe already do. Cities from London to Moscow are holding parades, flyovers and memorials this week as the world observes Thursday’s 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, when Nazi Germany surrendered to Allied forces, including the U.S. Here’s what to know about Trump’s plans: What is Trump doing and why? The Republican president is designating specific days for the U.S. to celebrate being on the winning side in World War I and World War II. He complained in recent social media posts that Americans don’t spend enough time celebrating those achievements, which he said wouldn’t have been possible without the U.S.

U.S. intelligence agencies are reportedly stepping up intel-gathering efforts in Greenland to advance President Donald Trump’s ambition to take over the territory. Several officials under Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard sent a message to intelligence-agency heads last week ordering them to learn more about Greenland’s independence movement, two sources familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal. They also directed agencies to learn more about national attitudes toward American resource extraction on the island and identify residents in both Greenland and Denmark who support Trump’s ambitions for the autonomous territory.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced a plan Wednesday to use medical data and records from people on Medicaid and Medicare to help study autism although experts say it’s unlikely to help reveal the condition’s root causes. The program will involve a data sharing agreement between the National Institutes of Health, the government’s health research arm, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which has access to claims data from nearly 150 million Americans across the country. “We’re using this partnership to uncover the root causes of autism and other chronic diseases,” Kennedy said in a statement. The agreement will be “consistent with applicable privacy laws to protect Americans’ sensitive health information,” the HHS statement said.

Rep. Elise Stefanik gained fame in December 2023 for her grilling of the presidents of Ivy League universities in congressional hearings on the vicious antisemitism that broke out on university campuses following the October 7 massacre. The presidents’ outrageous responses, including refusing to unequivocally say that calling for the genocide of the Jewish people violates their institutions’ code of conduct, led to the resignation of Harvard President Claudine Gay and University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill. On Wednesday, Stefanik questioned several university presidents, including Haverford College President Wendy Raymond, whose responses seemed scripted.

This alarming revelation follows a communications and radar failure that lasted for 90 seconds at Newark Liberty International Airport, leading to widespread flight delays and cancellations that extended well beyond the initial incident.
