The IDF and Shin Bet announced Thursday that they successfully struck a key Hamas command and control center in Jabalia—eliminating multiple high-ranking terrorists, including individuals directly involved in the October 7 massacre. The strike, carried out on Wednesday, targeted a central hub used by Hamas both for strategic coordination and as a gathering place for senior operatives. Among those killed was Shadi Diab Abd Al-Hamid Falouji, a terrorist from Hamas’ East Jabalia Battalion who infiltrated Israeli territory and took part in the brutal attacks of October 7.

The IDF on Thursday released the results of its in-depth probe into how security forces responded during the massacre at the Supernova Music Festival, held near Re’im, on October 7, 2023.
The horrific attack, in which 378 people—including civilians, security personnel, and festival staff—were slaughtered and 44 others were kidnapped (11 of whom were later murdered in captivity), revealed widespread shortcomings within the military, particularly within the Gaza Division and its Northern Brigade.

U.S. Senator Jim Risch (R-Idaho), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Ranking Member Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) sent a sharply worded letter to Lebanon on Wednesday urging the  Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) to accelerate the implementation of the US-brokered ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel or face a possible “reasssment” of US military aid. “We are at a critical moment in Lebanon. The Lebanese people have an opportunity to break Iran’s stranglehold on Beirut,” they wrote. The lawmakers expressed frustration over the LAF’s “too slow” implementation of the fulfillment of the ceasefire conditions. “The US should be prepared to expand assistance to the LAF to support expeditious fulfillment of the ceasefire obligations.

Anat and Haggai Angrest, the parents of IDF soldier Matan Angrest, have now agreed to make public the details surrounding their son’s capture during the October 7 Hamas onslaught, including the brutal assault he endured at the hands of a violent crowd in Gaza after being taken from his tank.
“We decided to go to the end to get our son out of hell,” the parents said.

After weeks of anticipation and speculation, President Donald Trump followed through on his tariff threats by declaring on Wednesday a 10% baseline tax on imports from all countries and higher tariff rates on dozens of nations that run trade surpluses with the United States. In announcing what he has called reciprocal tariffs, Trump was fulfilling a key campaign promise by raising U.S. taxes on foreign goods to narrow the gap with the tariffs the White House says other countries unfairly impose on U.S. products. Trump’s higher rates would hit foreign entities that sell more goods to the United States than they buy. But economists don’t share Trump’s enthusiasm for tariffs since they’re a tax on importers that usually get passed on to consumers.

Canada’s PM Carney: “The U.S., absolutely, is our ally! Our ally in security and defense, our most important security ally!”

Canada will impose a matching 25% tariff on all vehicles brought in from the United States, Prime Minister Mark Carney revealed Thursday. He sharply criticized President Trump’s recently announced “Liberation Day” tariffs, calling them a major setback for international commerce.
Carney clarified that the new duties would impact all vehicles failing to meet the criteria outlined in the US-Mexico-Canada trade agreements, making it clear that Mexico would not be subject to these additional charges.
The prime minister expressed hope that this move would pressure the U.S. to reconsider its inward-looking economic stance, though he acknowledged that the current trade tensions may just be the beginning of a deeper conflict.
