WHEN ARE THE 500 MILLION MIGRATING BIRDS IN ISRAEL IN THE SPRING TIME.(GET READY ISLAM TO BE BIRD SEED FOR THESE BIRDS)
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/m0bXU5Xqc5M
The
500 million migratory birds in Israel during the spring arrive from
Africa and head toward Europe and Asia, with the peak migration
occurring in March and April. While migration starts in late February,
the most intense movements, particularly of birds of prey, storks, and
pelicans, occur during the third week of March and continue into April.
Key Details on the Spring Migration
Peak Period: Mid-March through April.
Main
Migration Route: The birds use the Great Rift Valley, which includes
the Hula Valley and Eilat, acting as a "bottleneck" where millions of
birds fly through the narrow land bridge.
Best Spots: The Hula Lake
Park (Northern Israel) and the Eilat Birding Center (Southern Israel)
are primary locations for observing the migration.
Key Species:
Hundreds of thousands of white storks, along with black kites, raptors,
and pelicans, pass through over these months.
uration: The spring migration runs from late February and continues into June, though the heaviest traffic is in March/April.
The
500 million migratory birds fly over Israel in the fall between late
August and mid-December. The peak migration period for the autumn, when
the highest volume of bird traffic occurs, is typically October and
November.
Key Fall Migration Details
Location: The Hula Valley (Agamon Hula Park) in northern Israel is the premier spot to witness this phenomenon.
Timing: Migration starts as early as late June with some waders, but intensifies from mid-August through November.
Peak Festival: The "Annual Hula Valley Bird Festival" is usually held in November to align with the peak migration traffic.
Key
Species: Many birds of prey (raptors), including honey buzzards and
steppe eagles, cross during this time, along with massive flocks of
storks and cranes.
While roughly 500 million birds pass through in
the autumn on their way to Africa, the same number crosses again in the
spring (mid-February to May) on their way back to Europe and Asia.

Most serious clashes since start of ceasefire last
month-Ceasefire rattled as Iran targets 4 ships at Hormuz, US fires on
Iran, which then targets US base-Official says US forces took action
against drones after Iran fired on 4 ships trying to traverse Strait of
Hormuz, triggering tit-for-tat volley apparently in Kuwait, which
deployed air defenses against ‘hostile’ threats By Agencies and ToI
Staff Today, 12:08 pm-MAY 28,26
The United States struck southern
Iran on Thursday, after Iran fired drones at ships trying to cross the
Strait of Hormuz, drawing retaliation from Tehran against a US military
base, in the most serious clashes since an April ceasefire began.The
fighting, which drew in US ally Kuwait, threatened to jettison a fragile
diplomatic push to forge a peace agreement and reopen the Strait of
Hormuz, which has become a key point of contention in efforts to
formally end the war.The fresh fighting appeared to begin when Iranian
forces fired at four ships attempting to cross the strait, state
broadcaster IRIB reported on Thursday.“Four vessels attempted to cross
the Strait of Hormuz and enter the Persian Gulf without coordination
with the security forces,” IRIB posted on Telegram, saying the incident
took place at around 12:35 a.m. local time. It did not provide details
on the ships.“They were warned, but after they ignored the warning,
warning shots were fired at them, forcing them to return,” the
broadcaster added.US forces launched strikes that hit a ground control
station in the southern port area of Bandar Abbas, a US official,
speaking on condition of anonymity, told AFP.According to Reuters, also
citing a US official, the military also shot down four Iranian attack
drones and hit the station before a fifth could launch.“These actions
were measured, purely defensive and intended to maintain the ceasefire,”
the official said.Three explosions were heard east of Bandar Abbas at
around 1:30 a.m. local time, Iranian media reported early on Thursday,
adding that air defenses were activated for several minutes and that
authorities were following up to determine the origin of the sounds.The
attack prompted a swift response by Iran. A Guards spokesperson, quoted
by IRIB, said it “targeted” the American base that the attack on Bandar
Abbas was launched from at 4:50 a.m.The Guards did not provide details
on the location of the base, though Kuwait’s military said its air
defenses responded to an “enemy” attack on Thursday.Kuwait’s army said
air defenses were deployed against missile and drone threats, without
specifying their origin. It said explosions heard in the country were
from interceptions.Kuwait repeatedly came under fire from Iran and
Iranian-backed Shiite militias in Iraq during the war.The exchange of
fire was the second flare-up in fighting this week. US forces on Monday
attacked missile sites in southern Iran and boats trying to lay mines,
describing the moves as defensive.The strikes drew a thinly veiled
threat from Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, but
Thursday marked the first time since fighting halted that Iran
retaliated against the US, potentially ratcheting up tensions even as
the sides attempt to hash out a deal suspending the conflict.US
President Donald Trump has repeatedly said the end of the war is close,
but told the media at a cabinet meeting on Wednesday he was not yet
satisfied on a deal with Iran and the US was not discussing easing
sanctions on it.The US is seeking a deal with Iran that will keep it
from nuclear enrichment activities, and wants to extract a stockpile of
already near-bomb grade uranium.Aside from seeking sanctions relief,
Iran is insisting that the US unfreeze Iranian funds, the deputy
secretary of its National Security Council said, according to a report
by Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news outlet.“We are seeking the release
of all Iranian assets blocked by the United States, and this is the
legal right of the Iranian nation,” Ali Bagheri Kani said. “Iran’s
assets must be fully and unconditionally returned to Iran.”According to
officials, the sides have been nearing an agreement that defers the
nuclear issue but restores full traffic to the Strait of Hormuz, which
Tehran has effectively closed since shortly after the US and Israel
began attacking Iran on February 28.The blockage has left global energy
markets grappling with curbed supplies of the huge amounts of oil and
gas that normally pass through it.Oil prices bounced higher on Thursday
after reports of the strikes, reversing much of Wednesday’s fall on the
hopes of a possible imminent deal.The waterway is covered by
international law that guarantees foreign vessels the right to pass
through.However, Iran recently announced the formation of a state agency
tasked with overseeing the waterway, seen by many as a mechanism that
will be used to collect tolls from ships plying the vital waterway.On
Wednesday, the US Treasury Department said it had slapped sanctions on
the Persian Gulf Strait Authority, saying anyone cooperating with the
authority may be providing support to and receiving services from Iran’s
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and could be sanctioned as well.“The
Iranian military’s latest attempt to extort global maritime trade is
proof that Economic Fury has left the regime desperate for cash,”
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said, referring to a US blockade on
Iranian maritime shipping.The Persian Gulf Strait Authority published a
map last week representing Tehran’s claims to a wide stretch of water on
either side of the choke point, which is also bound by the United Arab
Emirates and Oman.Iran and the United States have traded threats for
weeks while negotiating through Pakistani mediation.On Wednesday, the
Guards’ navy said only ships “willing to abide by Iranian order” could
pass through Hormuz.Iran has also insisted any peace accord must apply
to Lebanon, where an April 17 ceasefire has done little to halt fighting
between Israel and Hezbollah. The Iranian proxy terror group began
attacking Israel in early March in response to the US-Israeli military
campaign against the Islamic Republic.
Trump threatens to 'blow
up' Oman amid Hormuz dispute-Trump says US ‘not satisfied’ in talks with
Iran, days after claiming deal imminent-President reiterates call for
Gulf states to join Abraham Accords, implies talks slowing as US denies
committing to lifting blockade, pulling troops from region under
purported draft agreement By Jacob Magid and AFP 27 May 2026, 10:23 pm
US
President Donald Trump indicated during a Wednesday cabinet meeting
that progress in talks with Iran on a deal to end the war had slowed,
departing from his assertion at the start of the week that an agreement
was nearly finalized.Iran “wants to make a deal,” but the US is “not
satisfied” yet with what it is seeing, Trump said at the White House,
threatening that the US will “have to just finish the job” if talks
fizzle out.The president later suggested he may not sign a deal with
Iran if neighboring Gulf countries do not normalize ties with Israel
under the Abraham Accords.“I’m not sure we should make the deal if they
don’t… join the Abraham Accords,” Trump said, referring Saudi Arabia,
Qatar, Kuwait, and others. He insisted they “owe it” to the US after
Washington launched the war against Iran — a conflict that placed them
in Tehran’s crosshairs for weeks.Trump tied Iran talks with the Abraham
Accords for the first time on Sunday, seemingly in a bid to secure
diplomatic wins amid questionable results on the battlefield, with the
Islamic Republic still in power and in control of missile and uranium
stockpiles as well as the Strait of Hormuz.Saudi officials were quick to
reiterate that Riyadh will only normalize ties with Israel if the
latter agrees to establish an irreversible pathway to a Palestinian
state — something Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to
reject.In Wednesday’s meeting, Trump took a step back from the bluster
when asked if he would go as far as to specifically make the Iran deal
contingent on countries normalizing ties with Israel.“I’m not going to
[tell] you what’s contingent, and what’s not,” he responded.Tehran and
Washington have in recent days been swapping proposals to end the war,
which broke out on February 28 and engulfed the Middle East, while a
fragile ceasefire has been in place since April 8.Trump declared
Saturday that an agreement was “largely negotiated” and that the details
would be “announced shortly,” but talks appeared to slow in the days
that followed.US: Iranian report of draft proposal ‘complete
fabrication’The Wednesday cabinet meeting was held shortly after the
White House denied an Iranian state media report claiming the US had
“committed itself” to lifting its naval blockade on Iran and withdrawing
troops from the region in exchange for Iranian concessions on maritime
traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.Iran has kept tight control over
the vital global energy conduit, while the US has imposed a naval
blockade on Iranian ports and coasts since April 13.According to the
report, Iran would gradually reopen commercial shipping through the
Strait of Hormuz over the course of a month, but continue to manage
shipping lanes, inspect vessels, and impose service fees on ships —
measures which have only been imposed since the war.Iran’s commitments
would not apply to military vessels, and Tehran had not agreed “to
unconditionally reopen the strait,” the draft added.On the withdrawal of
US troops from the region, the reported draft said Washington had given
“a commitment to the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding this issue.”The
White House blasted the report as false, calling it a “complete
fabrication.”“This report from Iranian controlled media is not true and
the MOU they ‘released’ is a complete fabrication. Nobody should believe
what Iranian state media is putting out. FACTS MATTER,” the White House
said on X, lashing out at US media for publishing the claims.Trump
appeared to again reject aspects of the Iranian report in the cabinet
meeting, insisting that the Strait of Hormuz will “open immediately” in
any deal, rather than over the course of a month as detailed in the
draft proposal.“One of the things that will happen is the strait will
open immediately,” Trump said, highlighting something that was not even
an issue before the war was launched by the US and Israel.When asked
whether he would accept a deal that gives Iran and Oman temporary
control over the Strait of Hormuz, he rejected the prospect. “No, the
strait is going to be open to everybody… It’s international waters.
Nobody’s going to control it. We’re going to watch over it,” he
said.Trump also appeared to threaten Oman, a long-time mediator in the
region.“Oman will behave just like everybody else, or we’ll have to blow
them up. They understand that, and they’ll be fine,” he added.Trump
refused to confirm or deny whether the memorandum of understanding under
discussion would defer talks on Iran’s enriched uranium and its wider
nuclear program to a subsequent negotiation, as has been widely
reported.The president also repeated his claim that the US has brought
about regime change in Iran, even though the Islamic Republic is still
in power. As he has done many times in recent weeks, he again posited
that the country’s “new leaders” are “much more reasonable” and
“smarter” than their predecessors.“We can make a good deal right now,
but maybe not a great deal,” Trump said, insisting that he only wants to
sign a great deal.‘Some progress’ made in talks-Though US officials at
the meeting indicated Washington prefers a diplomatic settlement, they
did not rule out military action, offering little-to-no new details on
the status of negotiations.US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that
“some progress” had been made in talks. “We’ll see over the next few
hours and days whether progress could be made.”The top diplomat
reiterated that Trump’s administration would prefer a diplomatic path to
ensuring Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon, but that Washington
“ha[s] other options available” if talks do not succeed.US Defense
Secretary Pete Hegseth chalked up Tehran’s willingness to negotiate to
its weakness following the joint US-Israeli offensive, claiming that
Tehran — despite retaining some missiles — could no longer build new
ones.“They may have missiles, but they can’t build more right now,” he
said. “They can’t build more drones right now, and they can’t build more
ships, and so they came and cried ‘uncle’ to talk.”Touting the US
blockade of Iranian ports, Hegseth said, “No Iranian tanker around the
globe is safe, and we’ve seen seizures all around the globe, choking off
their economic lifeblood.”
Op-ed Trump says he doesn't do bad
deals? Now's the time to prove it-Reported terms of Trump’s Iran deal
would confirm the war as an epochal failure-US president claims to have
almost finalized a ‘Memorandum of Understanding pertaining to PEACE’
with Iran; he’s also mused that Iran might ‘perhaps’ join the Abraham
Accords. Wishful thinking cannot mask an unfolding catastrophe for
Iranians, the free world and Israel-By David Horovitz-27 May 2026, 3:36

This Editor’s Note was sent out earlier Wednesday in ToI’s
weekly update email to members of the Times of Israel Community. To
receive these Editor’s Notes as they’re released, join the ToI Community
here.“If an injury has to be done to a man,” wrote Niccolò Machiavelli
in The Prince, his instruction manual for rulers, “it should be so
severe that his vengeance need not be feared.” That was 500 years ago,
and the dictum is as valid as ever, though it has evolved over the
centuries. US President Trump himself invoked an iteration, attributed
to Ralph Waldo Emerson, after he was acquitted in his 2020 impeachment
trial. “When you strike at the King,” Trump tweeted, “you must kill
him.”On February 28, the US and Israel opened a military campaign
against Iran’s murderously rapacious Islamic extremist regime, aiming to
destroy its nuclear weapons program, crush its ballistic missiles
industry, halt its support for proxy terrorist armies Hezbollah and
Hamas, put an end to its decades of global terrorism, and create the
conditions for the Iranian masses to oust it from power, once and for
all.“We will ensure that Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon,” Trump
vowed in an address that day, specifying what the campaign would
achieve. And “when we are finished, take over your government,” he
preemptively urged the Iranian public, assuring them, “It will be yours
to take.”Apparently over-confident after their 12-day war last June
battered Iranian military targets, eliminated numerous key nuclear
scientists, and bombed three key underground nuclear facilities,
however, the US and Israel, it has become evident, underestimated the
regime’s tenacity, and failed to carry out even basic strategic steps to
ensure the success of the operation.Its initial strikes on the Iranian
leadership, spearheaded by Israel, eliminated Ali Khamenei, the supreme
leader, and numerous other senior figures. But a reliance on invading
Kurdish forces, and a bizarre reported outreach to the Israel-hating,
Holocaust-denying former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a potential
new leader, were no substitute for the effective strategic planning,
including the careful nurturing of a reliable alternative leadership,
that was needed to persuade the Iranian public to indeed venture yet
again into the streets and “take over” their government.Worse, much
worse, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) failed to deploy effectively to
secure the Strait of Hormuz at the start of the war. This was a highly
complex operation, requiring a major naval presence and heavy air power.
And it would have had to be carried out under attack by Iran’s missiles
and drones, which the joint airstrikes were targeting as a priority but
were not capable of entirely eliminating.Yet it was crystal clear that
the regime would seek to assert control over the strait, would leverage
that control in order to radically disrupt global energy supplies, and
would thus heighten concerns in countries worldwide about the adverse
consequences of the war — with opposition at home bound to prove deeply
discomfiting for Trump, and by extension, constraining him.And that, of
course, is precisely what happened. The US president’s desperation to
get Hormuz reopened was reflected front and center in his Saturday Truth
Social declaration that a “Memorandum of Understanding pertaining to
PEACE” had been “largely negotiated” with Iran, that it would be
announced “shortly,” and that it would provide for the Strait of Hormuz
to be “opened.”The imminent reopening of Hormuz — which was not an issue
before the war — was the only specific detail of the ostensible
agreement that Trump chose to mention. All the actual goals of the war —
including the removal of Iran’s nuclear threat and the demise of its
terrorist proxies — were conspicuous in their absence. And to add
unsurprising insult to injury, Iran’s semi-state Fars news agency
immediately retorted that the strait would remain under Iranian
management, and that Trump’s announcement was “incomplete and
inconsistent with reality.”Diverging US and Israeli priorities-As of
this writing, the “shortly” to be announced deal has not, in fact, been
announced, and Trump has zigged and zagged about it. Its reported terms,
quite apart from being humiliating for him, are nothing short of
catastrophic.They provide for vast sums of money pouring into Tehran’s
coffers in the short-term, the better to develop more potent military
capabilities, further arm and empower its proxies, and foster more
global terrorism, including against Jews.And there is no agreement
whatsoever at this stage on the key concerns that prompted the war, most
importantly thwarting Iran’s path to the bomb. Rather, there is merely a
vague requirement to discuss the nuclear issue in the coming weeks and
months — a surefire recipe for endless foot-dragging by a regime that is
tasting victory and knows it has the means to deter the US from resumed
conflict and, in turn, complicate future Israeli attacks.Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu has hailed last year’s and this year’s conflicts
with Iran as extraordinary instances of the US and Israel fighting
together against the world’s gravest enemy. But the priorities,
interests, and concerns of the two allies, though broadly aligned, are
not identical, and as the current war has floundered, they have
increasingly diverged.Israel’s leadership and citizenry, almost all the
way across the spectrum, rightly regard the Islamic Republic as a
direct, existential threat — a regime that has to be removed for the
sake of the Iranian people, the region, and the free world, but first
and foremost, for the survivability of Israel.We know all too well the
devastation that Iran’s weaker border proxy, Hamas, was able to wreak on
October 7, 2023. We are currently rediscovering the revived deadly
capabilities of Hezbollah, across the northern border. And we have every
reason to fear that if Iran attains its sought-after nuclear weapons
capability, it will seek to use it against the world’s only Jewish
state.The United States, most certainly under Trump, also recognizes the
Islamic Republic’s genocidal ambitions for Israel, its murderous
hostility to the US, and its rapacious goals in the region and far
beyond. But ensuring that the regime goes down is not Trump’s first
priority, especially as ousting it, even if that can be done, will
almost certainly cost many, many American lives.Many Americans have been
and are prepared to risk and even lose their lives in the essential
defense of their country. So, too, many Israelis. The crucial
distinction at this juncture of the conflict with Iran is that Americans
do not broadly consider the regime to constitute an immediate or even
imminent direct existential threat to the nation. Israelis, broadly,
do.No deal at all-Attempting to psychoanalyze the endlessly garrulous
and contradictory US president is a fool’s game. But you can see his
internal conflict playing out in full public view.He knows the regime in
Tehran is as dangerous as it ever was, if not more so, but he wants to
believe that it isn’t. He knows and says that Iran would use nuclear
weapons to destroy Israel if it got them, but has said that a 20-year
Iranian “guarantee” to end enrichment would suffice. He “reTruthed” the
Iranian president’s willingness to “assure the world” that the Islamic
Republic will not seek nuclear weapons, as though such words are of
value. Fancifully, to use a polite term, he mused this week that Iran
might “perhaps” prove willing to join the Abraham Accords normalization
agreements with the Jewish state it has sworn to destroy.To state the
blindingly obvious: wishful thinking, disconnected from reality, cannot
replace coherent policymaking and strategic planning.Israel, right now
at least, does not possess the munitions to single-handedly destroy
Iran’s nuclear facilities. It required a willing partner, in Trump’s
America, last year, to bunker-bust the regime’s deeply protected
enrichment and other core nuclear facilities, and even then, they were
not completely destroyed. The regime’s 440-kilogram stockpile of
highly-enriched uranium, for the nuclear weapons arsenal it claims not
to want, apparently survived, and the regime is refusing to give it
up.Israel did not have the means, either, to single-handedly create the
conditions in which the Iranian public could rise up with a reasonable
chance of success against the regime. That goal, too, though a prime
global interest, required a willing partner, and again found one in
Trump’s America.It will be a global tragedy if, as seems increasingly
likely, inadequate strategic planning and the consequent success of
Iran’s energy extortion will instead enable the regime not only to
survive, but to emerge emboldened and more dangerous. Most immediately,
it will elevate the clear and present danger to Israel.Yet it’s not too
late.Addressing a Memorial Day event at Arlington National Cemetery on
Monday, the president noted that Americans lost their lives in part “to
ensure that the world’s No. 1 state sponsor of terror will never have a
nuclear weapon. Oh, and they won’t,” he promised for the umpteenth time.
“They will never have a nuclear weapon… I’m sure you know
that.”Terribly, we don’t know that. Quite the opposite. Removing
military pressure and unfreezing tens of billions of funds, without
first depriving the regime of its enriched uranium, and without so much
as starting to negotiate an agreement that would block its path to the
bomb, risks giving the Islamic Republic all the space it needs to go
nuclear.Since his Saturday announcement was met with derision by Iran
and something akin to panic in Israel, Trump has taken to asserting that
he is not in fact rushing to an agreement, that there will be a “Great
Deal for all or, no Deal at all,” and that he does not “make bad deals.”
Right now would be a very good time to prove that.

Hurricanes defeat Canadiens to take 3-1
series lead and move one win away from Stanley Cup Final-By The Canadian
Press.Published: May 27, 2026 at 10:56PM EDT
'Complete
domination': Canes win third straight vs. Habs to move one win from
SCF-MONTREAL (AP) — Sebastian Aho, Jordan Staal and Logan Stankoven
scored in a 2:47 span late in the first period and the Carolina
Hurricanes moved within a victory of the Stanley Cup Final, beating the
Montreal Canadiens 4-0 on Wednesday night.Frederik Andersen made 18
saves for his third shutout in 12 postseason games this year to help the
Hurricanes take a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference Final. Game 5 is
Friday night in North Carolina, with the series winner facing the Vegas
Golden Knights.“We have better,” Stankoven said. “It’s great to come out
like a team like this and perform like that, but I think at this time
of the year you can’t bring your ‘B’ game. You have to bring your ‘A’
game every night.”Nikolaj Ehlers and Shayne Gostisbehere each had two
assists for the Hurricanes. They are the seventh NHL team to win six or
more road games to start a postseason.“Definitely excited,” Gostisbehere
said. “Have to take care of business.”Anderson and the Hurricanes are
11-1 in the first three rounds. They put it away early in Game 4 after
winning the previous two games in overtime.The Hurricanes scored first
for the fourth straight game when Aho beat Jakub Dobes with a one-timer
from the right circle on a power play with 5:02 left in the first.Staal
followed with 3:53 to go, tipping in K’Andre Miller’s centering pass.
Stankoven then finished off a two-on-one with Jason Blake with 2:14
remaining in the period.“The game’s going to humble you,” Montreal coach
Martin St. Louis said. “Whenever you get humbled, you stand
tall.”Andrei Svechnikov had an empty-net goal in the third.Carolina had a
19-3 shots-on-goal advantage in the third period for a 43-18 overall
edge.“It seemed like the only guy that showed up was Doby,” Montreal
defenseman Lane Hutson said. “Wasn’t good enough. Didn’t answer the
bell.”
This year's theme: 'Proud Americans, Proud Zionists'Tens
of thousands expected at NYC’s annual Israel parade; Mamdani to boycott
it-Organizer says City Hall has cooperated with permits for Sunday’s
event and police are on top of security, though mayor refuses to
participate for first time in decades By Luke Tress-Today, 12:57 am-MAY
28,26
NEW YORK — Tens of thousands are expected to march in New
York City’s annual Israel parade on Sunday, although the march will not
include one of its mainstay attendees — the city’s mayor.The parade,
called Israel Day on Fifth, sees Jewish groups march up Manhattan’s
iconic Fifth Avenue. The event is a cornerstone of the area’s Jewish
community, drawing in participants from around the city and the
region.City and state leaders are prominent attendees, and the city’s
mayor has joined the parade for decades. That changed with Mayor Zohran
Mamdani, a harsh critic of Israel who has identified as an anti-Zionist
and took office in January.Mamdani is a longtime supporter of the
Boycott, Divestment and Sanction (BDS) movement targeting Israel, which
bars any “normalization” with Israel.Last year, Mamdani said, “I will
not be attending the Israel Day Parade,” while adding, “I believe in
equal rights for all people — everywhere.”Mamdani’s refusal to
participate highlights his break with mainstream Jewish groups, in
tensions that have continued to climb in recent weeks. The mainstream
Jewish community had long enjoyed City Hall’s support, while Mamdani’s
Jewish allies are to the left of the community’s center.Different
communities in New York City hold annual celebratory marches, and the
Israel parade serves as the de facto annual celebration for the Jewish
community.Mark Treyger, the head of the Jewish Community Relations
Council of New York, the group that organizes the parade, said that,
despite Mamdani’s refusal to participate, his administration has been
cooperative.City Hall is responsible for granting permits for parades.
Treyger said that the Mamdani team, during its transition period, “made
clear to us that they were going to grant permits for the parade and
they saw no changes coming.”The coordination with permits, the NYPD, and
city agencies “has all been working smoothly,” Treyger said in an
interview on Wednesday.“The overwhelming majority of people that come to
the parade each year don’t go because of politicians. They go out of
love and pride for their community, their heritage and their connection
and love for Israel,” Treyger said. “This parade is bigger than any one
politician, and that includes the mayor of New York.”He applauded the
police department’s security preparations, saying he had been in regular
contact with NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch and that the police are
“leaving no stone unturned to ensure a safe and successful
parade.”Treyger did not have a specific estimate for attendance, but
said the event was “at capacity” with tens of thousands expected to
march alongside dozens of floats. Last year, organizers estimated that
50,000 people attended.“We’re expecting one of the biggest crowds ever,”
Treyger said. “It’s a challenge to even accommodate more of the volume,
and I think it’s a testament to the strength, the spirit and the
resilience of the Jewish community.”The event “continues to take on a
deeper meaning for our community in the aftermath of October 7th,” he
said.In addition to tensions with City Hall, the mainstream Jewish
community is under pressure from factors including hate crimes, caustic
street protests, antisemitic graffiti and anti-Zionist activity in
universities and communal institutions.This year’s event marks the 50th
anniversary of the JCRC of New York. The parade is also supported by the
UJA-Federation of New York.Other New York leaders typically attend the
parade, such as Governor Kathy Hochul, Attorney General Letitia James
and Sen. Chuck Schumer.Treyger said politicians typically do not confirm
their attendance until shortly before the event, but that Hochul,
James, and city leaders such as City Council Speaker Julie Menin and
Comptroller Mark Levine are expected to attend. Hochul and her team have
been “very supportive,” he said.The Israeli consulate in New York said
11 Knesset members will be attending, led by Knesset Speaker Amir
Ohana.Parade organizers strive to keep the event apolitical, but the
march tends to reflect Jewish communal concerns. In 2023, protesters on
the sidelines of the parade, who were not marching in the event, heckled
Israeli government representatives over the Netanyahu coalition’s
judicial overhaul.The past two years saw participants advocating for the
release of the hostages in Gaza. At last year’s event, former captives
and hostages’ families formed the spiritual center of the march.Some
Jews have questioned the parade’s focus on Israel, saying the framing
politicizes the event and makes the march unnecessarily divisive.An
activist group of leftist Israelis in the city said it will protest
against the visiting Israeli Knesset members.Marching groups tend to
include Jewish nonprofits, non-Jewish allies, dancing troupes, identity
groups such as Russian-speaking Jews, and thousands of children from
Jewish day schools.Representatives of the American Muslim &
Multifaith Women’s Empowerment Council are expected to attend this year,
marking what appears to be the first time a Muslim group marches.An
Asian-American group, including City Councilmember Susan Zhuang, is also
expected to attend. Zhuang is a Chinese-American representative from
Brooklyn and a supporter of Israel who attended rallies for the Israeli
hostages in Gaza before their release.“We certainly very much appreciate
allies and friends in this moment,” Treyger said.This year’s theme is
“Proud Americans, Proud Zionists.” The march begins on Sunday at 11:30
a.m. Spectators who are not marching can access the parade route via
several entrances on Madison Avenue, and those not able to attend can
view the parade on a livestream. Backpacks, large bags and some other
items are not allowed in spectator areas due to security concerns.The
annual parade began in 1965 with an impromptu march by thousands of
Zionist youth in support of Israel. JCRC-NY has managed the event since
2011.
Three wounded by Swiss train station stabber allegedly
yelling ‘Allahu akbar’Police arrest knifeman, investigating motive for
attack in Winterthur, near Zurich; victims hospitalized, though
condition unknown-By Agencies Today, 4:48 pm-MAY 28,26
GENEVA — A
man stabbed and wounded three people at the train station in the Swiss
city of Winterthur on Thursday before being arrested, police said.The
attack happened shortly after 8:30 a.m., Zurich regional police said in a
statement. They said that the motive of the suspect, a 31-year-old
Swiss man, is under investigation.The three victims — all of them Swiss,
ages 28, 43 and 52 — were taken to hospitals. No information was given
on the severity of their injuries.Police said the suspected perpetrator —
a 31-year-old Swiss man — had been arrested and that his “motive is
under investigation.”Attacks targeting random passersby are rare in
Switzerland.Images broadcast by several Swiss media outlets and on
social media showed a man with long dark hair and a full beard running
in front of the station shouting “Allahu akbar!” (Arabic for God is the
greatest), while raising his right hand.“I heard a man scream ‘Allahu
akbar’ five or six times, in a very agitated manner,” one witness was
quoted as saying by newspaper Blick.Several witnesses quoted by Swiss
media said he was armed with a knife.In the footage, filmed from a
distance on a mobile phone, the man, wearing a black T-shirt and shorts,
is seen running past a group of young children apparently on a school
trip, without stopping.A group of schoolchildren were passing the area
at the time and their teacher moved to protect them, the BBC reported
citing local media.Am Bahnhof Winterthur (Schweiz) soll ein Mann mehrere

Bodies wrapped in Hamas flags, with assault rifles on
top-Hamas confirms death of military chief Mohammed Odeh; defiant
funeral held in Gaza City-Terror group says Odeh killed alongside wife,
children, in Israeli strike the day before; at burial, terror leader’s
relative vows ‘struggle of Palestinian people will continue’By Nurit
Yohanan,Agencies and ToI Staff 27 May 2026, 7:13 pm
Hamas on
Wednesday confirmed the death of Mohammed Odeh, the newly appointed head
of the terror group’s military wing, who Israel killed in a strike in
Gaza City.According to the terror group, Odeh’s wife and two of his
children were also killed in the Israel Defense Forces’ strike in Gaza
City on Tuesday. A funeral for the Hamas leader and his family was held
Wednesday.Odeh had assumed the top role in Gaza just 11 days before he
was killed, after Israel assassinated his predecessor Izz al-Din
al-Haddad earlier this month. The terror group’s statement did not say
who would succeed Odeh as head of Hamas’s military wing.In statements
announcing his death on Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and
Defense Minister Israel Katz said Odeh was head of Hamas intelligence
during the October 7, 2023, attacks, which sparked the war in Gaza.
Israel has killed dozens of Hamas leaders and military officials since
the start of the war, with the premier and other top officials
repeatedly vowing to kill or capture anyone who was involved in
attacks.The IDF said Odeh played a central role in planning and
coordinating the October 7 onslaught and later directed attacks and
intelligence operations against troops throughout the war.Sources close
to Hamas said Odeh was possibly the last remaining living member of the
Hamas armed wing’s higher leadership council from before the war.Odeh,
estimated to be in his late 40s to early 50s, grew up in Gaza and was
reported to have been involved with Hamas his whole life. In the past,
he was involved with the group’s security unit that sought out Israeli
spies.Israel previously targeted Odeh several times, including a strike
on his father’s house in Gaza in 2025 that killed his eldest son,
Amr.The security agencies described Odeh as one of the last remaining
senior Hamas military commanders involved in orchestrating the October 7
massacre, saying his killing deals a “significant blow” to the group’s
efforts to rebuild.Family holds funeral, vows Palestinian ‘struggle will
continue’The funeral for the slain terror leader and his family members
was held in Gaza City, as mourners carried their bodies, covered in
white burial shrouds and Hamas flags, past buildings that were bombed
out during Israel’s two-year bombardment of the Strip’s largest city.Two
of the bodies had assault rifles on them.Abu Al-Abd Odeh, one of Odeh’s
relatives, said Israel’s campaign would not stop Palestinians from
rising up.“This journey will not stop and the struggle of the
Palestinian people will continue on all levels,” he said at a mosque in
Gaza City during the funeral.Gaza health officials say the strike that
killed Odeh and his family members left at least three others dead and
more than 20 wounded. The strike destroyed the upper floor of an
apartment building in the Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City.Rescue workers
dug through the rubble for more possible casualties earlier on
Wednesday.The military posted footage of what it said was the strike
that killed Odeh.Despite the ceasefire that has been in place in Gaza
since October, Israel has kept up its campaign against the perpetrators
of the October 7, 2023, massacre, with a report last week in the Wall
Street Journal saying it has created a list of all Palestinians who took
part in the attack and is working to kill or arrest each one.Along with
al-Haddad and Odeh, the IDF announced last week it killed a Hamas
operative who invaded Israel on October 7, without naming him.Since the
October truce, Israel has killed some 900 Palestinians in Gaza,
according to figures from the Hamas-run health ministry, which does not
distinguish between combatants and civilians. Four Israeli soldiers have
been killed by Hamas during the same period, the military says.
Israel
gets 1st of new KC-46 refueling planes, greatly boosting long-range
capabilities-IDF says new arrival ‘significantly strengthens the air
force’s superiority’; plane is 1st of 6 ordered from Boeing, will allow
for deeper IAF strikes on Iran without relying on US By Stav Levaton and
ToI Staff 27 May 2026, 8:17 pm
The Israeli Air Force on
Wednesday received its first Boeing KC-46 “Gideon” refueling plane from
the United States, the first of six KC-46 aircraft purchased by the
Defense Ministry, in a move that will significantly boost Israel’s
long-range strike capability, the IDF said.The multi-role aircraft makes
mid-air refueling possible for fighter jets and other aircraft, but can
also be used for military transport.The KC-46 aircraft are to replace
the Israeli Air Force’s current fleet of aging Boeing 707s refueling
planes, which played a key role in Israel’s recent wars against Iran.
However, the IAF has largely relied on using US Air Force refuelers to
enable jets to carry out strikes in Iran, some 2,000 kilometers (1,200
miles) from Israel and far outside the normal flight range of Israeli
jets.According to the military, the KC-47 can carry up to 200,000 pounds
of fuel, a 15 percent increase over the previous model. It is also more
efficient than the 707, the IDF said, which will increase the flight
time, allowing for longer refueling missions.The aircraft was
inaugurated at Nevatim Airbase during a ceremony attended by IDF Chief
of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir and Israeli Air Force chief Maj. Gen. Omer
Tischler.“The arrival of the new plane significantly strengthens the air
force’s superiority in the ongoing multi-front war and in long-range
operations,” the IDF said, noting that the aircraft also provide
“advanced transport and multi-mission capabilities.”“Here, from the
runways of Nevatim Airbase, refueling aircraft took off around two
months ago and carried the entire air force to Iran on their wings,”
Tischler said at the ceremony, referring to the US-Israel war on
Iran.“Even at this hour, the air force is in the skies – its aircraft
and personnel are operating from the air and on the ground, striking
Hezbollah with force,” he said, adding that the new KC-46s provide “more
fuel, more payload, farther reach.”During the recent war in Iran, which
began with joint US-Israeli strikes on February 28, 2026, the IAF
carried over 10,800 separate strikes on over 4,000 targets, including
air defense systems, ballistic missile launchers, weapon production
sites, nuclear facilities, various headquarters, and military commanders
and leaders.IAF fighter jets conducted some 8,500 sorties to Iran, the
military said.Each of those strikes had to be aided by aerial refueling,
as fighter jets do not carry enough fuel to fly from Israel to Iran on
one tank.While Israel’s 707 refueling planes were deployed to aid in the
strikes, the IAF heavily relied on US refueling planes, especially the
KC-135 Stratotanker, many of which were stationed in Israel throughout
the war.The American military has said that it alone carried out 13,000
strikes on Iranian military targets during the recent conflict.Emanuel

Soldier killed in Hezbollah
drone attack as Israel widens strikes on terror group-Sgt. Rotem Yanai,
20, killed while running to shelter in military zone on northern border,
two reservists injured; IDF targets terror sites around Tyre after
urging civilians to flee further north By Emanuel Fabian and AFP Today,
9:09 am-MAY 28,26
A soldier was killed and two reservists were
wounded in a Hezbollah explosive drone attack near the Lebanese border,
the military announced Thursday, as fighting along the restive frontier
continued to intensify.Sgt. Rotem Yanai, a 20-year-old service
conditions NCO in the Givati Brigade’s Rotem Battalion, was killed as
she ran to a shelter during a twin drone attack in a military zone on
the Israeli side of the border on Wednesday, the army said.In Lebanon,
the Israel Defense Forces said it had begun striking Hezbollah
infrastructure around the southern Lebanese city of Tyre, a day after
issuing a sweeping evacuation warning indicating that it would extend
operations to areas up to 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the border, with
political and military leaders vowing to ramp up operations in Lebanon
and expanding a ground campaign.The army later said it had struck over
135 targets over the past 24 hours, and Lebanese authorities reported at
least 12 killed in strikes on Thursday morning alone, including two
children.Yanai, a resident of Giv’at Ada in central Israel, was the 24th
soldier to be killed since Hezbollah began attacking Israel on March 2
in support of Iran, after US-Israeli strikes on the Islamic Republic. A
civilian contractor has also been killed in southern Lebanon.A second
explosive drone that also took part in the deadly attack on Wednesday,
seriously wounded a reservist and left another reservist in moderate
condition.The drones had triggered sirens in the area as they were
detected; however, they were not intercepted.Israel has struggled to
fend off growing attacks on troops in southern Lebanon and northern
Israel by Hezbollah’s first-person view drones, which are largely
impervious to jamming technology. The terror group has also fired
rockets and other types of UAVs, hitting both military and civilian
targets.Another Hezbollah drone was intercepted early Thursday morning
over an area of southern Lebanon where Israeli troops are operating, the
military said.The drone and the attempts to shoot it down triggered
sirens in several border communities in the Galilee panhandle.Including
Yanai, 11 soldiers have been killed on the Lebanese front since the
start of a ceasefire, now largely unraveled, between Israel and
Hezbollah last month.Talks are expected on Friday between Lebanese and
Israeli military delegations at the Pentagon, with a new round of direct
negotiations aimed at ending the hostilities set for next week.A
delegation comprising six Lebanese officers, headed by the army’s
director of operations Georges Rizkallah, will participate in the
talks.A Lebanese military source told AFP the delegation will “emphasize
the need for a ceasefire, and will present the army’s plan for a state
weapons monopoly and the extension of state authority across the
country.”Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Tuesday that Israel
is “intensifying operations” in Lebanon by taking strategic positions
and reinforcing the security buffer zone as the IDF pushed past the
lines it held as it seeks to counter the recent surge in drone
attacks.The IDF said Thursday afternoon that it had struck over 135
Hezbollah targets in the past day, including 15 Hezbollah infrastructure
sites in Tyre used to advance attacks against Israel.It also said it
hit 10 rocket launch sites and a Hezbollah training camp in southern
Lebanon and the eastern Beqaa Valley.It said several operatives were
killed when they were struck while leaving the site of a rocket launcher
used to attack troops.Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported
two sets of Israeli strikes on Tyre and an area to its east early
Thursday morning, hitting a building and sparking a fire in Tyre.It
later reported strikes in the Sidon area, north of Tyre, including a
strike on a building that left five people dead. Among the killed was
Hossan Zeidan who once was a correspondent for Iran’s Arabic-language
al-Aalam television, according to the Associated Press.In the nearby
coastal town of Adloun, an Israeli drone struck a car with a family that
was fleeing, killing six people, of which four were two children and
their parents, the Lebanese Health Ministry said.Elsewhere near the city
of Nabatiyeh, the Lebanese military said a soldier was killed in an
Israeli drone strike while he was driving his motorcycle.The strikes
came after the IDF issued an evacuation order for the area, saying it
was “compelled to take forceful action” against Hezbollah. It announced
in a later statement that it had begun strikes targeting the group’s
infrastructure.In a sweeping evacuation order issued Wednesday, Lebanese
civilians were told to flee north of the Zahrani River, extending the
potential combat zone deeper inside Lebanese territory.An Israeli
military official said Tuesday that soldiers had begun operating outside
the “yellow line,” which runs around 10 kilometers deep inside Lebanese
territory.The latest round of fighting between Israel and the Hezbollah
terror group has claimed more than 3,000 lives in Lebanon, according to
Lebanon’s health ministry last week. Several hundred of that number
were said to have been killed amid the shaky US-brokered ceasefire.The
figures do not distinguish between civilians and combatants, though
sources familiar with Hezbollah’s own casualty figures have said some of
the terror group’s fighters aren’t included.The Israeli military has
said that it has killed over 2,000 Hezbollah operatives, including
hundreds of members of the terror group’s elite Radwan Force, since
hostilities escalated amid the war with Iran.During the fighting in
Lebanon, Hezbollah has fired some 5,500 rockets at IDF troops operating
in the south of the country, as well as around 2,500 at Israel,
according to the military.There have been at least 75 rocket impact
sites in Israel. In addition, Hezbollah has launched around 300 drones,
of which 25 struck Israel, according to the IDF.
Analysis Some
killings have elevated more extreme successors-Targeted killings haven’t
improved Israel’s strategic regional position — experts-While multiple
layers of leaders in Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah have been taken out, all
three have managed to press on, while broader goals behind
assassinations have gone unmet By SAM METZ and FATMA KHALED Today, 4:41
pm-MAY 28,26
AP — Over the past two weeks, the Israel Defense
Forces has killed both the leader of Hamas’s military wing and his
replacement — the latest in a long string of targeted killings aimed at
senior members of Iran-backed terror groups.They were identified as
Mohammed Odeh and Izz al-Din al-Haddad, architects of the October 7,
2023, attack on Israel. Officials say their killings were part of
broader efforts to pursue those behind the onslaught that triggered the
war in Gaza.But while targeted killings may provide tangible
achievements that leaders can brand as victories, they rarely address
the underlying grievances that propel conflicts.“The killing of military
chiefs such as Odeh and Haddad points to Israel’s operational ability
to reach Hamas’s military leadership,” said Nasser Khdour of the
nonprofit ACLED, which tracks reports of political violence and conflict
worldwide. But, he added, “the killing of senior commanders is
unlikely, on its own, to push Hamas toward disarmament or make it accept
the complete removal of its role in Gaza’s security and governance.”An
age-old tactic-Israel has carried out dozens of targeted killings
throughout its history, but Palestinian and Lebanese terror groups have
often endured and grown even more powerful after the loss of top
leaders.Take Hezbollah, for example. An Israeli airstrike killed its
then-leader Abbas Musawi in southern Lebanon in 1992. Under Hassan
Nasrallah, his charismatic replacement, Hezbollah grew into the region’s
most powerful armed group and fought Israel to a bloody stalemate in
2006.Nasrallah and nearly all of his deputies were killed in the 2024
war between Israel and Hezbollah. The Iran-backed group suffered other
major losses that year, but resumed missile and drone attacks on Israel
days after the start of the current war.Hamas has lost one leader after
another. Israel killed its founder and spiritual leader, Sheikh Ahmed
Yassin, in a 2004 airstrike. Nearly all the architects of the group’s
October 7 massacre have since been killed.But the group remains in
control of the nearly half of Gaza that the IDF doesn’t occupy and is
still managing to recruit new members and maintain a tight grip on
Palestinian society, as no alternative to the terror group has been
stood up.While the US is seeking to install a technocratic Palestinian
government to replace Hamas, the plan hinges on the terror group
agreeing to disarm, which it has shown little willingness to do.So both
Hamas and Hezbollah press on, fueled by the decades-old grievances
stemming from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.The United States has
also resorted to targeted killings against al-Qaeda and the Islamic
State group, taking out Osama bin Laden in a 2011 raid in Pakistan and
ISIS founder Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in 2019. Both groups have been vastly
diminished, but only after years-long wars involving ground forces.Who
comes after Yossi Kuperwasser, the former head of Israel’s military
intelligence research division, said in March that targeted killings can
be an effective tool but are not a “cure for all problems.”A man holds a

dramatically change the ability of those organizations to cause damage
and to carry out attacks,” he acknowledged. “But it’s important for
Israel to weaken its enemies.”In Gaza, Lebanon, and now Iran, he noted,
Israel has taken out dozens of figures, reshaping the leadership
structure in lasting ways.Targeted killings were a key strategy in the
early days of the Iran war. Top military and political officials up to
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei were killed in the war’s opening
salvos. Khamenei has been replaced by his son, Mojtaba, who is seen as
even less compromising.Kuperwasser said that targeted killings in Iran
hadn’t transformed the theocracy but had changed it.“Maybe there’s not
‘regime change’ yet, but there is ‘change in regime.’ The people are not
the same people,” he said.US President Donald Trump, for his part,
insists that regime change has in fact taken place, citing multiple
layers of Iran’s leadership that have been taken out.And yet, the
Islamic Republic remains in power, with authority shifted to its less
theocratic but more hardline Revolutionary Guard.Meanwhile, the goals of
the operation pertaining to curbing Iran’s ability to threaten its
neighbors have gone unmet.Killing leaders can also backfire-In past
instances, targeted killings have served to radicalize followers or
members of political movements and terror groups, elevating more extreme
successors or turning slain leaders into martyrs with enduring
influence.Northeastern University political scientist Max Abrahms said
data from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Israel, and the Palestinian territories
show violence against civilians spikes after targeted
killings.“Leadership decapitation is risky,” he said. “When you take out
a leader that prefers some degree of restraint and had influence over
subordinates, then there’s a very good chance that, upon that person’s
death, you’re going to see even more extreme tactics.”Targeted killings
can create leadership vacuums and the potential for change, but only
when coupled with a coherent political strategy, said Mohanad Hage Ali,
deputy director of the Carnegie Middle East Center in Beirut.“You can
decapitate an organization or defeat it militarily, but if you don’t
follow through politically, it doesn’t work. And it’s hard to see how
this goes much further,” he said.Times of Israel staff contributed to

Aging may be more plastic than we once believed'In
step toward immortality, Israeli scientists say they can ‘rewind’ aging
in mouse livers-SIRT6 ‘longevity’ protein reverses DNA structure in new
peer-reviewed study by researchers at Bar-Ilan University and US
National Institute on Aging; treatment seeks to extend healthy human
lifespan By Diana Bletter-27 May 2026, 5:18 pm
Researchers from
Bar-Ilan University, the US National Institute on Aging, and Tel Aviv
University say they have reversed key signs of age-related decline in
the livers of older mice by boosting levels of SIRT6, known as the
longevity protein.The peer-reviewed findings, published in Nature
Communications, suggest that biological changes associated with growing
older might not be a one-way street, after all.Using advanced tools to
map out DNA architecture and measure real-time gene activity, the
research team studied older mice that had been given additional SIRT6,
which silences genes associated with inflammation and aging.The
scientists found they could “rewind” age-related changes in cells within
the liver tissue, said research supervisor Prof. Haim Cohen, director
of the Sagol Healthy Human Longevity Center at Bar-Ilan University.To
put it simply, Cohen said, “We took an old liver and restored its DNA
organization toward a much younger state.”Doctoral students Ron Nagar
and Zacharia Schwartz led the study, which, said Cohen, showed that by
upping SIRT6, “we may eventually be able to preserve tissue function,
reduce inflammation, and improve health during aging.”The importance of
SIRT6-Cohen’s lab explores the basic biological mechanisms underlying
the aging process and how to delay and prevent aging-associated
diseases.In a 2012 breakthrough, Cohen was the first researcher in the
world to increase life expectancy in mice by augmenting their SIRT6
levels.SIRT6, which is found primarily in the cell nucleus, helps the
body repair DNA, control metabolic processes, and regulate
aging.Reversing age-related changes-SIRT6 can also influence chromatin, a
structure that carefully folds and arranges the DNA to fit inside the
cell’s nucleus.In mammals, aging causes this chromatin packaging to
become loose and disorganized, leading to inflammation and possible
diseases. The research team wanted to see if the addition of SIRT6 could
successfully direct the chromatin to reorganize its packaging once
again.For the experiment, the researchers took normal mice and allowed
them to age naturally, to about 24 months, which is the equivalent of
about 70 to 80 years in humans, and then increased the levels of the
SIRT6 protein.The researchers activated SIRT6 directly in the liver in
one group. In the control group, they activated another gene that was
not expected to affect aging, serving only as a benchmark.The study
found that by heightening the SIRT6 levels in the old mice, many of
these age-related chromatin changes didn’t just slow down — they
reversed.The researchers also identified a specific marker, H3K9ac, a
chemical switch that tells the chromatin structure when to close or
open.As the lab mice got older, their inner switch got stuck in an open
position, accidentally turning on the genes that cause harmful
inflammation.The SIRT6 protein repaired this by closing these specific
switches, forcing the DNA structure to tighten back to a healthy,
youthful state.“This is the hidden language of longevity,” Cohen
said.The current research builds on Cohen’s previous discoveries on the
importance of SIRT6 in the process of longevity and healthy aging.He
established biotechnology and longevity company SirTLab at Bar-Ilan to
find “ways to increase or restore the level of SIRT6 because as we age,
there is a decline in its activity.”Dr. Nir Barzalai, director of the
Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine
in New York, and president of the Academy of Geroscience, told The Times
of Israel that his own research focuses on how aging has “distinct
biological drivers that can be targeted to prevent age-related
diseases.”Barzalai was not involved in Cohen’s study.Barzalai, who has
studied “hundreds of centenarians,” said he found a few of them with
mutations in Sirt6, associated with slowing their aging.“The discovery
of Sirt6 in animals and humans shows [the possibility of improving]
healthspan and longevity,” Barzalai said. “This is probably the most
important discovery in human biology.”He added that SIRT6 therapy is
part of a new science that treats “our health, not our diseases.”Cohen
said that as humans, “we believe that we are at the top of evolution.
But the truth is that when we speak about longevity, there are mammals
like whales that live longer than us.”He said that his lab is “trying to
find ways to steal the idea of what evolution gave to whales, and take
it to humans to extend our lives.”“This is exciting because it suggests
that aging may be more plastic than we once believed,” Cohen said. “The
SIRT6 protein affects longevity in mice, so we have a good, solid
argument to say that whatever we find in mice, we will also find in
humans.”

More than 300 suspects have been arrested in a sweeping
multi-agency crackdown on child exploitation crimes across Southern
California, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) announced Thursday.
The large-scale enforcement effort, dubbed "Operation Firewall,"
targeted a wide range of internet-facilitated offenses, including child
pornography, human trafficking, grooming, and attempts to lure minors
into illicit encounters.Authorities said the two-week operation — which
ran from April 19 through May 3 — spanned five counties and brought
together 112 law enforcement partners. The effort was led by the LAPD
Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force Program.In total, the
operation resulted in 341 arrests and the rescue of 40 children,
officials said.FLORIDA’S OPERATION DRAGON EYE RESCUES DOZENS OF

lius Constantine Motal/The Guardian-New Jersey-‘We are
not criminals’: protests erupt as hunger strike rocks New Jersey ICE
jail-José Olivares and Julius Constantine Motal in Newark-Wed 27 May
2026 19.48 BST
Protests against immigration enforcement at a
facility where detainees are on a hunger and labor strike erupted in
fresh violence on Tuesday night as federal officers sprayed chemicals
and charged at demonstrators outside the jail in New Jersey.Following
hours of relative quiet, a day after masked and armored Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel pepper-sprayed US senator Andy Kim,
tensions ramped up again outside the Delaney Hall facility on the fifth
day of the strike.At one point on Tuesday evening, a protester who threw
something at ICE officers was chased by dozens of officials, tased and
then carried into the jail.The Newark-based ICE facility is operated by
the Geo Group, one of the biggest private prison companies in the US.
According to activists and detainees, between 300 and 400 detainees are
participating in the strike, demanding improved food, ventilation and
medical care – and for their immigration cases to proceed.The hunger and
work strike and protests come as the Trump administration continues its
controversial, aggressive and increasingly unpopular mass deportation
campaign, targeting immigrants nationwide to detain and deport them.A
letter from detainees was published by advocates on Tuesday morning. Two
men recently released from Delaney confirmed in interviews with the
Guardian their participation in the strike, despite denials by the Trump
administration that any such strike was happening.“We are detained, we
are on hunger strike, demanding due process rights and the improvement
of conditions,” one of the men said in an interview with the Guardian.
“We are not criminals. We are people who enter [the facility] with a
clean record. We pay our taxes. [We are] Fathers. Mothers. Spouses of
citizens with existing petitions.”a man sits in a chair-On Tuesday
afternoon, Luis was released from Delaney Hall and huddled with
immigration advocates. He spoke with the Guardian minutes later,
requesting a face covering and anonymity for fear of retaliation by ICE.
He said he was detained by ICE during a routine check-in with the
authorities, which is uncommon for people who have a legal case going
through the immigration system.However, arrests during such check-ins
have become an increasing practice used by the agency under the second
Trump administration. He had been locked up in Delaney Hall for three
and a half months, he said.“If they freed us, we wouldn’t generate
profit for this business,” Luis said, referring to the contractor, the
Geo Group. His hands shook as he spoke but he gave his account
assertively. “If we are going to be detained for months so this company
can profit, they should at least provide a better ‘service’,” he said.In
response to questions from the Guardian, Geo Group provided a statement
that said the company provides “around-the-clock access to medical
care, in-person and virtual legal and family visitation, general and
legal library access” to detainees and other services, including meals.
The spokesperson also said all services were monitored by ICE, adding
they were “proud of the role our company has played for 40 years to
support the law enforcement mission” of ICE.As nighttime approached on
Tuesday, a line of ICE officers, armed with guns, batons, Tasers and
pepper spray, stood outside the facility gates, occasionally pushing the
crowd back so official cars and vans could enter and exit the
property.This followed a hectic weekend of demonstrations and clashes.
On Monday, a number of Democratic lawmakers, including New Jersey
senator Andy Kim and Governor Mikie Sherrill, had attempted to enter the
facility. Kim has made several visits inside the facility in his
congressional capacity and has declared conditions “inhumane”.The
Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the parent agency of ICE, and its
department secretary, Markwayne Mullin, accused the Democratic
politicians of “spreading smears” about ICE and denied the strike was
taking place.“There is no hunger strike at Delaney Hall. There are no
subprime conditions,” Mullin posted on social media.Mullin said
detainees receive three meals a day, are evaluated by certified
dieticians, and receive clean water, clothing, bedding, showers,
toiletries and comprehensive medical care.“Illegal aliens also have
access to phones to communicate with their family members and lawyers,”
Mullin said in a statement.people hold barricades-Delaney Hall strikers
have complained of inedible food that they have observed containing
worms, deficient infrastructure with no air conditioning and poor
ventilation, a persistent flu and other viruses spreading throughout the
facility, delayed medical care and lags in their immigration cases,
according to their Tuesday letter. In privately-run ICE detention
centers nationwide, detainees perform cooking, cleaning and laundry
work, getting paid as little as $1 an hour.“One thing about this entire
chaotic situation has been consistent, and that is what people inside
are reporting about their experience and what our federal
representatives have witnessed,” said Amy Torres, executive director at
the New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice. “Conditions were bad
enough for people to lose their pregnancies. They were bad enough to
start a lice infestation, to have a strain of flu that has been going
around untreated. That’s what got people to strike.”Kim made a long
series of posts to X on Sunday listing allegations about Delaney Hall,
including that a woman had a miscarriage at the facility and had to cope
by herself, while another woman who was pregnant was unable to obtain
full OB/GYN support, people were detained there after being arrested
during their interviews for permanent US residency (green cards), and a
host of other alleged injustices.Mullin called Kim and other lawmakers’
attempts to enter Delaney “a political stunt by New Jersey sanctuary
politicians for fundraising clicks”, referring to the fact that New
Jersey is a state where collaboration between local law enforcement and
ICE is limited.The facility sits in an industrial part of Newark,
surrounded by factories and packaging plants. The air by the facility is
putrid, smelling like sewage and chemicals, only worsened by Tuesday’s
heat and blaring sun. A nonstop convoy of trucks passed by the facility,
with some blaring their horns in support of the protesters.skip past
newsletter promotion-Protesters throughout the day chanted and yelled at
the ICE officials. One pro-ICE counter-protester arrived in the late
afternoon and stood between the ICE officers and the protesters,
exchanging colorful insults.As the typical workday wound down and the
convoy of trucks slowed, protesters, who numbered somewhere over 100,
and the several dozen ICE officers grew more agitated. At about 7.30pm,
while the crowd of was chanting, one protester threw an umbrella at an
ICE official, prompting the line of mask-wearing agents to rush the
crowd, chasing them across the street, some at a sprint, and firing
pepper spray, leaving protesters coughing and teary-eyed.For the next
few hours, the dynamic played out several times, as protesters chanted,
yelled and threw items such as bottles of water at officials, who
responded by shooting orange-colored spray directly in people’s faces.
ICE officers would rush the crowd and chase down individuals, pepper
spraying anyone in their way. A Guardian photographer observed at least
seven journalists sprayed throughout the evening.At one point, over a
dozen officers rushed the crowd, chasing after a protester who ran
across the street and on to train tracks covered in gravel. As the
protester ran, an ICE officer discharged his Taser, striking him in the
back. The protester’s body went stiff and he fell on to the stones. ICE
officers picked him up and carried him into the facility, while shoving
and threatening to spray others who stood in their way.a man in tactical
gear fires a taser at another man“Tonight, ICE law enforcement officers
were assaulted by anti-ICE rioters who sprayed law enforcement with an
unknown chemical substance,” Mullin said on Tuesday night. “Two
individuals were arrested for assaulting, resisting and impeding federal
officers.”Throughout the day, families with small children arrived at
the facility gate asking to visit loved ones inside, only to be turned
away.“I was in there for three and half months. It’s heavy, we’re still
not eating. I hope they help the ones inside,” said another man with a
trembling voice, who spoke with the Guardian shortly after being
released from the facility. The man seemed shaken, overwhelmed and
nervous as he stepped on to the street where protesters chanted. “I
don’t want to say anything more because then they’ll take me back,” he
said in Spanish, without giving his name, as dozens of other media then
swarmed around him.The strike will continue until Sherrill enters and
meet with detainees, Luis said. On Monday, Sherrill had requested to
enter the facility alongside other lawmakers but was denied.ICE
detention in New Jersey has been a political point of tension for years.
The state passed a law in 2021 barring the use of privately-owned
facilities for immigration detention. But a private prison company sued,
with support from the Biden administration, leading to a legal battle
that eventually struck down the law. Amid litigation, ICE entered into a
15-year contract with Geo Group to reopen Delaney Hall, which had been
operating as a halfway house until it was shuttered in 2023. ICE and Geo
Group began detaining immigrants there in May 2025.Ever since, Delaney
Hall has been a target for protest. Last May, the Newark mayor, Ras
Baraka, was arrested after requesting to enter the facility, and US
representative LaMonica McIver was later charged with various crimes
after a skirmish outside the facility. In June, protesting detainees
pushed down a wall inside the facility and four escaped. In December, a
Haitian man detained in Delaney died of “suspected natural causes”.a man
chants near men in tactical gear-“The stories coming out of what is
going on inside are horrendous,” said Catalina Adorno, a volunteer with
Cosecha, an immigrant rights organization in New Jersey. “We want to
make sure they’re being heard. It wasn’t until Friday that they were
like: ‘We don’t think we’re being heard. No one is listening to us.’ So
on Friday, they decided to launch their strike.”Following the
announcement of the strike, Delaney Hall staff reportedly removed
tablets from the units inside the facility, limiting the communication
detainees have with the outside world. The DHS said in a statement all
visits were “currently suspended due to riots outside the facility”.The
detained immigrants inside Delaney are determined to continue the
strike. On Monday, one of the hunger-striking men reportedly fainted
inside the facility. According to Luis, facility staff did not help the
man, so others inside the unit gave him water with salt and sugar,
encouraging him to break the hunger strike and eat.Protests continued
late into the night on Tuesday. Torres, from the New Jersey Alliance for
Immigrant Justice, pointed to ICE officers’ tactics.“If this is what
federal agents are willing to do to the public, what are they doing to
the people they have in detention?” Torres asked.

Sweltering globe will smash heat records over next 5 years, UN
forecasts-Projections show high chances for mercury to surge past
warming limit threshold at least once by 2030, as spiking temperatures
bring deadly extreme weather from droughts to floods By Seth Borenstein
Today, 1:29 pm-MAY 28,26
WASHINGTON (AP) — In the next five
years, the Earth is overwhelmingly likely to surge again and again past
the international climate threshold set as safe and shatter its
hottest-year record along the way, according to new United Nations
climate projections.The World Meteorological Organization also forecasts
an overheating Arctic that warms nearly 3 degrees Fahrenheit (1.66
degrees Celsius) between now and 2030 and a dangerous drought with
potential wildfires for the Amazon, a crucial part of Earth’s natural
defenses to lessen human-caused climate change.A hotter globe from the
burning of coal, oil and gas means more extreme weather, including
floods, droughts, and heat waves, scientists said.Projections by the UN
climate agency and the United Kingdom’s Meteorological Office said
there’s a 75 percent chance that the average global temperature between
2026 and 2030 will exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit)
since pre-industrial times. That threshold is the agreed-upon limit of
warming — averaged over 20 years — set in 2015 by the Paris climate
agreement.A UN science report a few years later detailed how exceeding
that 1.5 mark will likely increase death, danger, and species loss. Even
though it’s only a few tenths of a degree, some of the planet’s
ecosystems, such as coral and glaciers, can’t handle the strain.There’s a
91% chance that at least one of the next five years will shoot past the
1.5 degree threshold and an 86% chance that one of those years will
smash the record for Earth’s hottest year set in 2024, the WMO report
said.The WMO projects each year between now and 2030 to be between 1.3
degrees Celsius (2.3 degrees Fahrenheit) and 1.9 degrees Celsius (3.4
degrees Fahrenheit) hotter than since the late 1800s.“It’s important to
note that [1.5] is not kind of a cliff edge that we’re going to fall
off,” said report co-author Melissa Seabrook, a climate scientist at the
UK Meteorological Office. “Every kind of 0.1 of a degree has more and
more severe impact.”She pointed to the unprecedented May heat in Europe
this week.An entire year or more above the 1.5 degree mark “means a
whole range of extreme weather events, probably many so hot/wet/dry that
it exceeds anything we’ve experienced in the past and thus crucially,
anything our city planning, agriculture etc. has anticipated,” Imperial
College of London climate scientist Friederike Otto, who wasn’t part of
the report, said in an email. “This will mean many people will lose
their lives, we are in for a lot of food price shocks, and more intense
wildfires.”Nearly all the shorter-term forecasts call for a strong El
Nino — a natural warming of parts of the central Pacific that alters
weather worldwide and spikes global temperatures — to form soon. The WMO
report said it could stretch all the way to 2028. Because of that,
Seabrook said 2027 will likely break the 2024 heat record.And if the
next five years average more than 1.5 degrees Celsius since
pre-industrial times, that means Earth will have warmed a quarter of a
degree Celsius (0.45 degrees Fahrenheit) in a decade, which is faster
than the previous rates of warming. Those were closer to two-tenths of a
degree Celsius per decade.Climate scientists are debating whether
global warming is accelerating, “which obviously is quite scary,” and if
these projections come true, it would give additional evidence to those
who see a sped-up rate of change, Seabrook said.Accelerating warmth
forecast in the Arctic-The projections, based on the averaging of about
200 runs of computer simulations using 13 different climate models from
various countries, show warming in the Arctic rising 3.5 times faster
than the rest of the globe. This is because there’s less ice and snow
that had been reflecting solar radiation to space, Seabrook said. It
becomes a vicious cycle.“As the temperature warms, more sea ice melts,
the worse this makes it,” Seabrook said.Winters in the Arctic from 2020
to 2025 on average were 2.1 degrees Fahrenheit (1.2 degrees Celsius)
warmer than the 1991-2020 average. The WMO projects the next five
winters will average 5.1 degrees Fahrenheit (2.8 degrees Celsius) warmer
than the recent normal, Seabrook said.The report also forecasts Arctic
sea ice to continue to shrink in the summer.Amazon may get drier,
sparking fire worries-The report calls for even warmer and unusually dry
conditions in the Amazon basin, and that could be devastating for both
local residents and the planet as a whole, Seabrook said.People rely on
the Amazon for water, and the hotter, drier conditions should increase
wildfire risk, Seabrook said, threatening to turn the Amazon, which now
sucks heat-trapping carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, into a region
that worsens the problem.Africa’s Sahel area, which has been extra dry,
is likely to get more than normal rain and that could lead to flooding,
Seabrook said.United Nations officials said efforts to curb climate
change haven’t been enough.“Despite the progress of recent years, it’s
clear that global heating is still outpacing global efforts to contain
it, and the baking temperatures in Europe, India and elsewhere show yet
again the brutal human and economic impacts of humanity still burning
colossal amounts of coal, oil and gas,” UN climate chief Simon Stiell
said about the WMO report.“Whether it’s extreme heat, mega-storms,
floods, massive wildfires or droughts hitting food supply and prices,”
he said, “every nation is already paying a huge price from this global
climate crisis.”
