In recent weeks, including Sunday morning’s attack on Ben-Gurion, the Houthis from Yemen have increased their launch of ballistic missiles toward Israel at the same time as the US has been carrying out waves of airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen. Ynet quoted Israeli officials as saying: “The Americans are the ones who are acting. The fact that the Houthis are still launching missiles doesn’t mean much— the American operation is very effective.” Ynet military commentator Ron Ben Yishai noted that Israeli security officials estimate that the recent increase in the number of Houthi launches stems from the fact that the US has improved the quality of its intelligence in Yemen and the accuracy and efficiency of its attacks, targeting Houthi launch sites and missile and UAV depots.

Prime Minister Netanyahu, in a meeting with Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides, reiterated his strong criticism of Qatar, calling on Israel’s allies to exert pressure: “We urge others to push not only Hamas but also Qatar, which has significant influence over Hamas, to act and secure the hostages’ release.”

NYC Public Advocate Jumaane Williams has lost a two-family home he owned in Brooklyn after failing to pay his mortgage for over a decade, accumulating nearly $1 million in debt, The Post has discovered. The home was seized by Bank of America following years of non-payment on a loan tied to a failed business venture.
Williams originally took out the mortgage to help finance a vegan sandwich shop in Park Slope, but the business eventually folded. In January, a state judge issued a “final judgment of foreclosure” on the home at 1392 E. 98th St. in Canarsie, siding with the bank. Court documents show Williams stopped making payments on the $389,600 loan he secured in 2006.

The latest slimming craze, the weight loss drug Ozempic, is now coming with a surprising and unwanted cosmetic issue nicknamed “Ozempic mouth,” according to a new report.
Those taking higher doses of the popular GLP-1 medication are noticing significant changes in their appearance, particularly in the face, due to rapid fat loss, a cosmetic dermatologist based in New York revealed to DailyMail.com.
“Many users of Ozempic who I know report noticeable volume loss in the face, which can result in the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and jowls around the mouth,” Dr. Michele Green explained.
“This volume loss can also worsen the appearance of existing fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity contributing to a more aged smile and overall look.”

The Department of Justice sued Colorado and Denver on Friday for allegedly interfering with federal efforts to enforce immigration laws, the latest attempt by the Trump administration to crack down on what some call sanctuary cities and policies. The lawsuit claims the state and its most populous city, Denver, have passed “sanctuary laws” violating the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution. “The United States has well-established, preeminent, and preemptive authority to regulate immigration matters,” according to the lawsuit, which was filed in federal court in Denver. There is no strict definition for sanctuary policies or sanctuary cities, but the terms generally describe limited local cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ICE enforces U.S.

A baby girl was born on Friday—just before Shabbos—to the almanah of R’ Raphael Mordechai ben R’ Moshe Fishoff Hy”d, who was brutally murdered in a terror attack in Hadera this past Erev Yom Kippur. The newborn is the seventh child in the Fishoff family and will, heartbreakingly, never meet her father—an exceptional talmid chacham who gave his life al kiddush Hashem. R’ Raphael Mordechai, just 35 years old at the time of his murder, was stabbed in a horrific multi-location terror attack on October 10, 2024. He was critically wounded and later succumbed to his injuries at Hillel Yaffe Medical Center, leaving behind a grieving wife and six yesomim. Now, just months later, his widow gave birth to a baby girl.

Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu vowed that “there will be blows” in response to the Iranian-sponsored Houthi missile assault targeting Ben-Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv on Sunday.
“We are acting against them,” Netanyahu said of previous IDF military operations against the Houthis in Yemen. “We have acted in the past and we will act in the future. I cannot detail everything.
“The U.S., in coordination with us, is also acting against them. It’s not a one-and-done—but there will be blows,” vowed the Israeli premier.
In a subsequent post on his official X account, Netanyahu said Israel “will respond to the Houthi attack against our main airport AND, at a time and place of our choosing, to their Iranian terror masters.”

The United Kingdom’s main newspaper regulator has ruled that it is not “significantly inaccurate” to refer to the majority of the Palestinian security prisoners released by Israel as part of ceasefire agreements with the Hamas terrorist group as “hostages.”
The Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO), a government-recognized independent regulator, said in its April 30th decision that the characterization was permissible because the term “hostage” was “somewhat subjective.”
The ruling followed a complaint made in January by the U.K. branch of CAMERA, CameraUK, against The National, a Scottish newspaper that had referred to Palestinian terrorists in Israeli jails as “hostages.”
