35-Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
36-And
upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven,
and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no
nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
37-For I will
cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that
seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, [even] my fierce
anger, saith the LORD; and I will send the sword after them, till I have
consumed them:

prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto
thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be
visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is
brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against
the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is
brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of
them.

thee.
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that
at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think
an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of
unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell
safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor
gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand
upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people
that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and
goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13 Sheba, and Dedan, and
the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say

The Hezbollah
terror group launched more than 60 rockets at northern Israel on
Sunday, injuring a man and causing damage to homes vehicles, and
infrastructure in the northern city of Kiryat Shmona, following a deadly
Israeli airstrike on southern Lebanon.In the first attack, some 20
rockets were launched at Kiryat Shmona, according to the Israel Defense
Forces. Some of the rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome air
defense system.A man aged 65 was slightly wounded by shrapnel, medics
said.At least 10 rockets struck the largely evacuated city, setting cars
on fire, damaging homes, and causing a power outage in some areas, a
spokesperson for Kiryat Shmona said.The Magen David Adom emergency
service said one of its ambulances was also damaged in the rocket
attack.Several hours later, another barrage of some 40 rockets was fired
from Lebanon at the Galilee Panhandle area, the IDF said.The damaged

claimed responsibility for both barrages, saying they were a response
to a strike in southern Lebanon’s Mays al-Jabal earlier Sunday, which it
said killed and wounded civilians.Following the 60 rockets, the
military said it struck several sites belonging to the terror group in
southern Lebanon.The sites hit by fighter jets included buildings and
other infrastructure in the towns of Markaba, Taybe, Kafr Kila and
Odaisseh, according to the IDF.Since October 8, Hezbollah-led forces
have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border on
a near-daily basis, with the group saying it is doing so to support
Gaza during the war there.So far, the skirmishes on the border have
resulted in nine civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the
deaths of 11 IDF soldiers and reservists. There have also been several
attacks from Syria, without any injuries.Hezbollah has named 290 members
who have been killed by Israel during the ongoing skirmishes, mostly in
Lebanon, but some also in Syria. In Lebanon, another 56 operatives from
other terror groups, a Lebanese soldier and at least 60 civilians,
three of whom were journalists, have been killed.

2:00 am
Three Israeli soldiers were killed and 11 more were
wounded in a Hamas-claimed rocket attack on a staging ground near the
Gaza Strip on Sunday, prompting the military to shutter a key border
crossing.The slain soldiers were named as:Staff Sgt. Ruben Marc
Mordechai Assouline, 19 of the Givati Brigade’s Shaked Battalion, from
Ra’anana.Staff Sgt. Ido Testa, 19, of the Givati Brigade’s Shaked
Battalion, from Jerusalem.Staff Sgt. Tal Shavit, 21, of the Nahal
Brigade’s 931st Battalion, from Kfar Giladi.Their deaths brought the
toll of slain troops in Israel’s ground offensive against Hamas and amid
operations along the Gaza border to 266.Another 11 soldiers were
wounded, including two soldiers of the 931st Battalion and a soldier of
the Shaked Battalion who were listed in serious condition, the Israel
Defense Forces said.More than 10 rockets were fired from the Rafah area
in southern Gaza in the attack, according to the IDF.The Hamas terror
group said it had launched a barrage of short-range rockets at a
gathering of Israeli troops on the border, near the southern community
of Kerem Shalom.Most of the rockets struck an area where troops were
gathered on the border, not far from the Kerem Shalom border crossing,
which has been used to deliver thousands of truckloads of humanitarian
aid to Gaza amid the war.The soldiers had been guarding military
equipment that was brought to the area for the IDF’s planned offensive
in Rafah.The victims were taken to hospitals by ambulance, aside from
one who was airlifted.The military was investigating why the Iron Dome
air defense system did not engage the barrage.Sirens had also sounded in
Kerem Shalom during the attack, and one of the rockets hit a home in
the community. Towns close to the enclave have been largely evacuated of
civilians since the devastating Hamas-led onslaught on October 7.The
IDF said it had shuttered the Kerem Shalom Crossing for humanitarian aid
trucks following the attack.According to the military, the rocket
attack was carried out from an area close to the Rafah Crossing with
Egypt, some 350 meters from a civilian shelter.The IDF said the attack
was “another clear example of the systematic exploitation that the Hamas
terror organization makes of humanitarian facilities and spaces for
terror needs, while using the civilian population as a human shield.”The
IDF also carried out strikes in Rafah in response, including hitting
the launchers and an adjacent building used by Hamas, the military
said.According to health officials in the Hamas-controlled enclave, one
airstrike hit a house in Rafah, killing seven people.Another strike just
before midnight, the officials claimed, killed nine Palestinians,
including a baby, in another house in a different part of Rafah.“The
toll of martyrs in Rafah reached 16,” AFP quoted Gazan first responders
as saying.More than a million Palestinian civilians are sheltering in
Gaza’s southernmost city, considered to be the Hamas terror group’s last
major redoubt.Israel has repeatedly indicated it could launch an
offensive in Rafah imminently should talks for a truce and hostage deal
talks break down.During a visit Sunday to the central Gaza Strip,
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Israel had identified signs that
Hamas was not interested in a hostage deal, and in turn, the military
would launch its offensive in Rafah in “the very near future.”“We have
clear goals for this war, we are committed to the elimination of Hamas
and the release of the hostages. We have given [Hamas] time and we
wanted to reach a situation where we would realize the release of the
hostages as quickly as possible, with a certain delay in the operational
action, because the hostages are in a difficult situation and we need
to make every effort to release them,” Gallant said to troops in central
Gaza’s Netzarim Corridor.“We have identified alarming signs that Hamas
actually does not intend to go for any agreement framework with us. The
meaning of this [is] action in Rafah and the entire Gaza Strip in the
very near future,” he said.Also Sunday, a Hamas command and control
center based out of a UNRWA facility in the central Gaza Strip was
targeted in an airstrike, the Israeli military and Shin Bet security
agency said.According to a joint statement, the site was used by Hamas
as a staging ground to direct numerous attacks against Israeli troops in
the Netzarim Corridor and against humanitarian aid deliveries.According
to the military, the command center was also used to supply dozens of
operatives with weapons, including members of the terror group in
tunnels.“The attack was carefully planned and carried out using precise
weaponry to avoid as much harm as possible to uninvolved [civilians],”
the IDF said.“The Hamas terror organization systematically exploits
international institutions and the civilian population as a human shield
for terror actions against the State of Israel,” the IDF added.Earlier
Sunday, the military said it had killed a senior Hamas commander in the
terror group’s Bureij Battalion was killed in a recent airstrike.The IDF
said that Saleh Jamil Muhammad Imad, head of the Bureij Battalion’s
combat support unit, was killed alongside several other Hamas operatives
at the targeted site in central Gaza. Another airstrike killed three
Hamas terrorists, members of the group’s elite Nukhba force, who
participated in the October 7 onslaught, according to the IDF.The IDF
said a separate strike in northern Gaza’s Jabaliya killed three Hamas
operatives, including a deputy company commander.Overnight, the IDF
carried out artillery shelling against a Hamas rocket launching site in
Gaza that the military said was primed for attacks on southern
Israel.Fighter jets also hit several more sites across Gaza, including
buildings used by terror groups, weapon depots and other infrastructure,
the IDF said. One of the buildings was struck after a sniper was
identified in it, according to the army.The airstrikes came as ground
troops of the 99th Division continued to operate in central Gaza’s
Netzarim Corridor.Israel says it has killed at least 13,000 fighters
inside Gaza, along with around 1,000 killed inside Israel on October 7
and in the days immediately after.Gaza’s Hamas-controlled health
ministry says over 34,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Israeli
offensive, a figure which cannot be confirmed. The ministry does not
differentiate between civilians and combatants.Agencies contributed to
this report.
PM rejects 'extreme' demands, reiterates war
goals-Hamas departs Cairo as latest hostage, truce talks said to be
nearing ‘collapse’
CIA chief heads to Qatar, will then come to
Israel, in bid to keep negotiations alive, as Hamas official speaks of
‘decision line,’ while Israeli leaders suggest Rafah op is near-By
Agencies and ToI Staff 5 May 2024, 11:31 pm
The latest round of
Gaza truce and hostage deal talks ended in Cairo after “in-depth and
serious discussions,” the Hamas terror group said Sunday, reiterating
key demands that Israel rejected, dimming hopes for an agreement.Israel
did not send a delegation to the talks mediated by Egypt and Qatar, and
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Sunday afternoon that “we see signs
that Hamas does not intend to go to any agreement.”Egyptian state media
reported that the Hamas delegation left Cairo for discussions in Qatar,
where the group has a political office, after submitting its response to
a proposal to mediators, and will return to Egypt for further
negotiations on Tuesday.In their second day of talks with Egyptian and
Qatari mediators, Hamas negotiators maintained their stance that any
agreement on a release of hostages must end the war, Palestinian
officials said. Israel has repeatedly rejected this demand.CIA director
Bill Burns meanwhile was headed to Doha for “emergency” talks on
mediation efforts with Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman
Al-Thani, a source with knowledge of the discussions told AFP.After
that, he will travel to Israel and meet with Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu and the negotiating team, senior Israeli officials told the
Walla news site, adding that Burns, along with the other mediators, is
trying to prevent the talks from imploding.One official briefed on the
talks told Reuters: “The latest round of mediation in Cairo is near to
collapse.” In a conflicting report, a senior Hamas official told Channel
12 that the talks were not collapsing but at the “decision line.”The
proposal that Egyptian mediators had put to Hamas sets out a three-stage
process. It reportedly includes a first phase lasting up to 40 days, in
which at least 33 of 128 hostages held in Gaza would be released, along
with an IDF withdrawal from parts of the Strip. The first phase would
allow for the return of Palestinians to northern Gaza and the release of
hundreds of Palestinian security prisoners in exchange for hostages.
The potential second phase would last for 42 days and see the release of
all other living hostages and the sides completing arrangements for
sustainable calm in Gaza. The third and final phase, which would see an
exchange of bodies, would also last 42 days.The Hamas source told
Channel 12 that the terror group was concerned that the United States
would allow Israel to operate against Hamas and its leaders even after a
truce deal. The official claimed that while the terror group was not
insisting on controlling the government of the Strip, its leaders, such
as Yahya Sinwar, did not want to be vulnerable to attack.The official
also said that rumors that Qatar may boot Hamas’s political leadership
from Doha were not affecting the negotiations and that they could move
to a hotel “in Malaysia or Istanbul. ”Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
under pressure from hard-liners in his government, continued on Sunday
to lower expectations for a truce deal, calling the key Hamas demands
“extreme” — including the withdrawal of Israel forces from Gaza and an
end to the war. That would equal surrender after the terror group’s
devastating onslaught on October 7 that triggered the fighting,
Netanyahu said.The senior Hamas official told Channel 12 that
Netanyahu’s declarations that the military would invade Rafah, Hamas’s
last stronghold, no matter what agreement is reached showed that the
prime minister would return to fighting after the first stage of a deal,
and caused the terror group to doubt US commitments to bring an end to
the fighting.Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in a statement earlier said the
terror group was serious and positive about the negotiations and that
stopping so-called Israeli aggression in Gaza was the main priority.But
Israel’s government again vowed to press on with a military operation in
Rafah, the southernmost Gaza city on the border with Egypt where more
than half of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents now seek shelter from Israeli
attacks. Rafah is also a key entry point for aid entering via
Egypt.Netanyahu claimed that Israel has shown willingness to make
concessions but said it “will continue fighting until all of its
objectives are achieved.” That includes the stated aim of crushing
Hamas. Israel says it must target Rafah to strike the remaining terror
battalions there, despite warnings from the US and others about the
danger to civilians, and to ensure that Hamas cannot return to smuggling
in military materials from across the border with Egypt.Israel believes
that 128 hostages, both living and dead, who were abducted by Hamas on
October 7 remain in Gaza. During a weeklong truce in November, 105
civilians were released from Hamas captivity, with four hostages
released prior to that. Three hostages were rescued by troops alive, and
the bodies of 12 hostages have been recovered from the Strip, including
three mistakenly killed by the military.The IDF has confirmed the
deaths of 35 of those hostages still held by Hamas, citing new
intelligence and findings obtained by troops operating in Gaza. Hamas is
also holding the bodies of fallen IDF soldiers Oron Shaul and Hadar
Goldin since 2014, as well as two Israeli civilians, Avera Mengistu and
Hisham al-Sayed, who are both thought to be alive after entering the
Strip of their own accord in 2014 and 2015 respectively.
Police
investigate series of at least 4 bomb threats at New York City
synagogues-One community evacuated, building cleared; emailed threats
deemed not credible by authorities; Brooklyn Museum also gets message
threatening to blow up nearby subway station-By Lisa Keys 5 May 2024,
10:57 pm
New York Jewish Week via JTA — Authorities are
investigating a series of bomb threats at New York City synagogues and
cultural institutions on Saturday. At least four synagogues and one
museum received the emailed threats, which were deemed not credible by
the New York City Police Department.The Upper West Side’s Reform
Congregation Rodeph Sholom was targeted, along with the LGBTQ-oriented
Congregation Beit Simchat Torah on West 30th Street, Chabad of Midtown
on Fifth Avenue, and Brooklyn Heights Synagogue on Remsen Street.Police
told CBS News that the threatened locations “all received emails stating
that explosives were present in the buildings or nearby.”At least one
of the synagogues was evacuated; in a message posted to its Facebook
page, Congregation Rodeph Shalom wrote: “The NYPD 20th Precinct asked us
to evacuate the building as a precaution. Following a thorough search,
the building was deemed clear. We are grateful for the response from the
NYPD, who, in partnership with our professional security team,
completed a thorough investigation of the situation.”CBS News also
reports that that the Brooklyn Museum received an email threatening to
blow up the nearby Eastern Parkway/Brooklyn Museum subway station. The
MTA said an “unusual package” was found outside the station, but subway
service was not affected.On X, Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine
called the threats “a clear effort to sow fear in the Jewish community,”
as well as a hate crime that’s “part of a growing trend of ‘swatting’
incidents targeting Jewish institutions.”Update: Now at least 4
synagogues in Manhattan have received bomb threats. None thankfully

address the incidents, saying that New York “will not tolerate

are actively monitoring a number of bomb threats at synagogues in New

tolerate individuals sowing fear & antisemitism. Those responsible

lawful and this is not normal and this is happening on the eve of
Holocaust Remembrance Day,” Mark Treyger, the new CEO of the Jewish
Community Relations Council, told the New York Post. “This is a
dangerous escalation of what we’ve already been seeing in the rest of
the country.”Yom Hashoah, Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Day, began
Sunday evening.“This is not isolated from the bigger, hostile climate
right now against Jewish people,” added Treyger, who is the grandson of
Holocaust survivors.Antisemitic incidents across New York City have
spiked dramatically since the war in Gaza began, sparked by Hamas’s
October 7 massacre in southern Israel. According to the most recent
figures released by the NYPD, since the start of October through March
2024, 253 antisemitic incidents have been reported to police — an
increase of 85 percent over the 137 anti-Jewish crimes reported during
the same period last year.There were 43 antisemitic incidents in the
five boroughs reported to police last month. The NYPD is continuing to
investigate Saturday’s false threats.
Trump accuses Biden of
‘running a Gestapo administration’ to win elections-In audio recording
from private address to donors heard by US media outlets, Republican
presidential candidate also attacks prosecutors involved in his criminal
indictments-By Doina Chiacu 5 May 2024, 10:01 pm
WASHINGTON
(Reuters) — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump accused
Democratic rival US President Joe Biden of running a “Gestapo
administration,” in a private address to donors in which he also
attacked prosecutors involved in his criminal indictments, according to a
recording heard by US media outlets.Trump, whose own rhetoric has drawn
accusations of fascist tendencies from civil rights groups and other
critics, made the comparison with the Nazi police in Germany’s World War
II regime at a donor retreat Saturday night at his Mar-a-Lago resort in
Palm Beach, Florida.The comments came after Trump reprised his
complaint that the multiple indictments against him were politically
motivated. He had just concluded 11 days of a New York hush money trial
in which he is charged with falsifying business records to cover up a
$130,000 payment made to a porn star.“These people are running a Gestapo
administration,” Trump said, according to an audio recording heard by
the New York Times and the Washington Post. “And it’s the only thing
they have. And it’s the only way they’re going to win, in their opinion,
and it’s actually killing them. But it doesn’t bother me.”The Trump
campaign did not respond to a request for comment on the reported
remarks.The former US president, who held office from 2017 to 2021,
faces an array of legal troubles in criminal and civil cases while he
seeks to regain the presidency in the November 5 election. He denies
wrong doing in all the cases.Trump has made a series of inflammatory and
racist statements on the campaign trail, using violent imagery to
lambaste immigrants and opponents. He has warned of violence if he does
not win the 2024 election and has compared immigrants to animals.In
November, Biden attacked Trump for using the word “vermin” to refer to
his political enemies, saying it echoed the language of Nazi Germany.
Also last year, Trump said immigrants who entered the country illegally
were “poisoning the blood of our country. ”Some historians say such
comments mirror that of autocrats who have sought to dehumanize their
foes. The Trump campaign has previously rejected comparisons to Nazis,
Adolf Hitler, and Italy’s Benito Mussolini.The Biden campaign said the
reported comments underscored the Republican candidate’s anger and
desire for revenge.“Trump is once again making despicable and insulting
comments about the Holocaust, while in the same breath attacking law
enforcement, celebrating political violence, and threatening our
democracy,” spokesperson James Singer said in a statement.On Saturday
night, Trump used expletives to refer to US Special Counsel Jack Smith,
according to the reports, and mocked the Georgia District Attorney Fani
Willis, who is prosecuting a state election interference case.Smith, a
frequent Trump target, is the prosecutor handling the federal cases
involving efforts to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss to Biden and
the former president’s handling of classified government material.Trump,
a former New York businessman and reality television host, described
Mexican immigrants as rapists and drug smugglers as he declared his
candidacy for the Republican nomination in the 2016 election. He drew
widespread criticism after a violent 2017 rally in Charlottesville,
Virginia, for equating white supremacists with counterprotesters and
saying “both sides” were to blame.Biden has said the events in
Charlottesville, where one woman was killed, motivated him to run for
president against Trump in 2020.
