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.
JEREMEIAH 49:23-27
23 Concerning Damascus.(SYRIA) Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea;(WAR SHIPS WITH NUKES COMING ON SYRIA) it cannot be quiet.
24 Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.
25 How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!
26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts.
27 And I will kindle a fire (NUKES OR BOMBS) in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Benhadad.(ASSADS PALACES POSSIBLY IN DAMASCUS)
Israel warns of heightened terror threat to Israelis, Jews abroad ahead of holiday period-National Security Council says Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and global jihad groups are stepping up efforts; 25 Israelis and Jews killed in attacks overseas since war began; October 7 anniversary raises risk-By Nava Freiberg ToI Staff 6 September 2026, 5:00 pm
The National Security Council issued an updated warning Sunday of terror threats against Israelis and Jews abroad ahead of the Jewish holiday season, which begins this weekend with Rosh Hashanah and ends three weeks later with the conclusion of Sukkot.The NSC stressed that the assessment did not constitute new travel warnings, but was intended to reflect the latest trends in global terror activity and their impact on the threat facing Israelis abroad.In a statement, the NSC, which is part of the Prime Minister’s Office, said Iran and its proxies, Hezbollah, Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups, and global jihadi groups Islamic State and al-Qaeda, remain highly motivated to target Israelis and Jews worldwide.Israel’s recent conflicts against Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas and others, together with “incitement campaigns,” have led “to a steep increase in terrorist factions’ motivation to attack Israeli and Jewish targets around the world,” the NSC said.The council again warned that October 7 — the third anniversary of Hamas’s 2023 onslaught — could “be the focus of protests and demonstrations (possibly involving violence), as well as increased efforts to carry out attacks.”The NSC said Iran and its proxies remain the primary source of global terror threats against Israelis and Jews, with Tehran also motivated by a desire for revenge over blows it has suffered in recent years. Iran has sought to advance attacks through its own terror networks, various proxies and criminal organizations, according to the council.Potential targets include Israeli diplomatic missions, senior Israeli officials, security personnel, Jewish community institutions and individual Israelis, the council said. It also described Hezbollah as a “significant potential threat,” citing the severe blows the group suffered in its war with Israel and its desire to avenge the deaths of senior members.Israeli officials have warned for months of an unusually high rate of Iranian efforts to carry out attacks abroad.On Sunday, Channel 12 reported that Israeli security agencies, at times working with international partners, had thwarted dozens of terror plots worldwide over the past year, including planned attacks against Israelis and Jews.Some of the plots were foiled just minutes before they were due to be carried out, according to the network.While Iran and its terror proxy Hezbollah have been behind efforts to attack Israelis abroad, Hamas — another terror group backed by Iran — is increasingly attempting to mount attacks overseas as it struggles to operate in the West Bank and continues to observe the ceasefire in Gaza, the report said.Israeli officials nonetheless continue to regard Iran as a principal global terror threat. A senior National Security Council official told Channel 12 that Tehran has “significantly expanded” its organizations and infrastructure used to advance attacks abroad, describing the campaign as part of a “strategic doctrine.”In March, a senior National Security Council official said veterans of Israel’s security establishment could not recall Iranian attempts on such a scale, amid what the official described as “record Iranian motivation” to target Israelis overseas.In May, US prosecutors accused an alleged member of the Iran-aligned Kataeb Hezbollah militia of helping orchestrate at least 18 attacks in Europe and two in Canada targeting Jewish sites. The alleged campaign included synagogue attacks, arson and bombings and was described by prosecutors as part of an Iranian-linked “psychological warfare” operation.Israeli intelligence has said Tehran increasingly relies on criminal organizations and non-Iranian operatives in an effort to obscure its role. In October 2025, the Mossad said an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force network had been behind plots and attacks against Jewish and Israeli sites in Greece, Germany and Australia, including arson and surveillance operations.The council said Hamas was investing significant efforts in establishing terror infrastructure in Europe and other countries, with the aim of carrying out “revenge” attacks or high-profile attacks against Jews and Israelis.The warning follows a series of European investigations into alleged Hamas networks. In October 2025, German authorities arrested three suspected Hamas foreign operatives accused of procuring an AK-47, pistols and ammunition for attacks on Israeli or Jewish institutions. The Mossad said it had worked with German intelligence on the case.A fourth suspected operative was arrested in January 2026 after German prosecutors alleged that he also helped obtain ammunition for Hamas. Earlier investigations also accused Hamas members of establishing weapons caches in Bulgaria and Denmark for possible future attacks on Jewish and Israeli targets in Europe.Islamic State and al-Qaeda also continue to issue explicit calls for attacks on Jews, according to the NSC, which said the threat was particularly prominent in Africa and Asia but also extended to European capitals and the United States, including through lone attackers and locally organized plots.The Houthis have also called for attacks on Israel and Israelis traveling to Somaliland and elsewhere in Africa, the council said.The council noted a “marked increase in lone-wolf attacks” stemming from “ideological radicalization” and “worsening anti-Israel discourse online.”According to the NSC, 25 Israelis and Jews have been killed in terror attacks abroad since the outbreak of the war. It described lone-wolf terrorism as a dispersed and unpredictable threat, often directed at accessible “soft” targets such as mass gatherings, community centers and places of worship.Travel warnings and precautions-The council advised against travel to high-risk countries including Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen — which is in any case forbidden by law — as well as countries near Iran, and Egypt (including Sinai), Jordan, Somaliland and others.The full advisory specifically identified Azerbaijan, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates as countries near Iran that remain exposed to activity by Iranian terror networks. Jordan, Qatar, Somaliland and Egypt, including Sinai, remain under a Level 4 warning, with Israelis advised to avoid travel there entirely.The NSC also urged travelers to avoid, where possible, connecting flights through countries subject to a Level 4 warning, and said Israelis transiting through such countries must not leave the airport terminal.The council urged Israelis to exercise caution and refrain from displaying Israeli or Jewish symbols in countries with a Level 3 threat level, which are classified as “medium threat” — including the UAE, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan.It additionally recommended limiting the use of Hebrew in crowded public places in Level 3 countries, avoiding real-time location sharing on social media, and hiding or removing online material indicating service in the IDF or other Israeli security forces.Travelers were also advised to remain particularly alert around Chabad centers, kosher restaurants and synagogues, to stay away from demonstrations and protests, and to avoid political discussions with strangers.In case of suspected threats abroad, Israelis should first contact local security services and then the NSC’s hotline at +972-2-6667444.The Foreign Ministry’s situation room can also be reached at +972-2-5303155 or via WhatsApp at 050-5073969.Recent attacks on Jewish communities-The warning comes after a particularly violent period for Jewish communities abroad. In March alone, The Times of Israel documented at least 14 attacks, incidents or alleged plots targeting Diaspora Jewish institutions across Europe, Canada and the United States, including shootings, bombings, arson and a car-ramming. Jewish security officials said at the time that the threat environment was at a historic high.The High Holiday period has also previously been targeted. Two people were killed on October 2, 2025, when British-Syrian citizen Jihad al-Shamie rammed his car into the gates of Manchester’s Heaton Park Synagogue during Yom Kippur prayers and attacked worshipers. More than 800 people gathered at the synagogue last week to mark a year since the attack.In 2019, a far-right gunman attempted to storm a synagogue in Halle, Germany, on Yom Kippur while dozens of worshipers were inside. After failing to get through the synagogue’s doors, he shot and killed a woman nearby and a man at a kebab shop.
8 Muslim-majority nations pan proposals by Katz, Ben Gvir promoting Gaza emigration-FMs of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Qatar, Egypt, Indonesia and Pakistan warn ‘provocative’ statements will have ‘grave consequences,’ impact peace efforts-By Nava Freiberg Follow
and AFP 6 September 2026, 3:12 pm
The foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Qatar, Egypt, Indonesia and Pakistan on Sunday issued a joint condemnation of remarks by Defense Minister Israel Katz and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir calling for plans to facilitate the emigration of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.The ministers “strongly condemn” remarks by Ben Gvir and Katz “regarding the displacement of the Palestinian people from the Gaza Strip,” according to an Arabic-language statement.“These statements and provocative proposals represent a flagrant violation of the principles of international law, including international humanitarian law, and a direct threat to the legitimate and inalienable rights of the Palestinian people,” the statement added.The ministers warned of “grave consequences of transforming calls for forced displacement into declared policy or practical measures.”“Such measures directly challenge international efforts to achieve peace, particularly President Donald Trump’s comprehensive plan to end the conflict in Gaza, which includes a firm rejection of forced displacement,” they added, referring to the US-backed October 2025 peace plan for Gaza.Far-right Ben Gvir on Thursday unveiled a plan aimed at removing the vast majority of Gaza’s Palestinian population from the territory through what he termed “voluntary emigration,” including by establishing a dedicated government ministry, saying he hoped to advance the plan if the coalition remains in power after elections in late October.Ben Gvir’s proposal came a day after Katz said plans to facilitate mass emigration from Gaza remain under discussion and were merely “frozen” by Trump, who had initially proposed relocating Gaza’s roughly 2.3 million residents in February 2025. Katz said Israel was prepared to facilitate departures by land, sea and air, but acknowledged that no countries were currently willing to absorb Gazans on the scale envisioned.Such plans, which come as political parties ramp up their campaigning ahead of elections, would face massive international pushback if implemented and appear highly unlikely, with no country willing to take in large numbers of Palestinian refugees.The possibility of relocating Gaza’s population sparked strong pushback in 2025, including from Egypt, and was condemned by Palestinians themselves. Trump later abandoned the proposal amid the international opposition and a lack of willing destination countries.Trump also spoke at one time of developing the coastal territory, devastated by the two-year war between Israel and Hamas, into a luxury resort destination.In his October 2025 Gaza peace plan that ended the war triggered by the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, invasion of southern Israel, Trump appeared to walk away from it entirely, pledging instead to “encourage people to stay and offer them the opportunity to build a better Gaza.”In June, Israeli security officials were reported to be seeking to revive the moribund plan and to have rebranded it in an effort to soften international opposition.The war has already internally displaced the vast majority of Gaza’s people following the October 7 Hamas attack on southern Israel, in which invaders killed some 1,200 people and took 251 hostage.
Iran said to use far-right Telegram group to enlist Israelis-Iran says it will declare ‘prohibited zone’ near Strait of Hormuz in coming days
Hormuz traffic dips to lowest since May after US, Iran clashes; US energy secretary says there may not be a nuclear deal, but Iran’s ability to build bomb could be destroyed By Agencies and ToI Staff Today, 4:35 am-SEP 7,26
The new head of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council on Sunday said Tehran plans to announce a “prohibited zone” outside the Strait of Hormuz aimed at vessels it believes are attempting to transit the waterway, amid the United States’ attempts to squeeze Iran economically to bring it to the negotiating table.Mohsen Rezaei’s comments to Iran’s state broadcaster came with few details, a day after the US struck three Iranian oil tankers in response to Tehran launching ballistic missiles at US warships. Experts called the launches a dangerous escalation after Iran’s previous attacks at sea targeted commercial shipping.“In the coming days, a prohibited zone will be announced outside the Strait of Hormuz. This zone will start from the US Navy’s blockade line and include areas of the Persian Gulf. Any ship entering this new zone will be placed on the sanctions list” of Iran, Rezaei told state TV.It is not clear where Iran defines the location of the weekslong US blockade, which is aimed at Iranian ports and keeping Tehran from shipping out its oil. The US military has said over 20 warships are supporting the blockade, which as of Sunday had redirected 92 commercial ships and disabled three.The US has been introducing new measures to increase the economic pain on Iran after negotiations collapsed and no end to the intermittent fighting appears in sight. Meanwhile, Iran continues to attack some ships trying to transit the strait, which has become an important source of leverage for Tehran in the war that began February 28 with US and Israeli strikes.Iran earlier Sunday said it struck an unmanned US vessel trying to enter the Strait of Hormuz, a claim that the US military dismissed as a “total lie.An average of 10 commodity ships transited the Strait of Hormuz per day over the past 10 days, the lowest since May, according to shipping data on Monday, after US and Iranian strikes on tankers.The 10-day moving average was 10 on Sunday, down from more than 15 on Friday and nearly 13 on Saturday, data from analytics firm Kepler found.Only two vessels passed through the strait on Saturday, while six went through on Sunday, mostly using the Iranian route.The US and Iran resumed attacks last week, following a month of relative calm, with the Strait of Hormuz and areas along Iran’s southern coast again being targeted. At least five people were killed earlier in the week during a US bombardment that returned attention to the area where a school was hit in the war’s opening strikes.The Trump administration appears to have adopted a dual-prong approach to the conflict, responding militarily to attacks on the strait while going after foreign financial institutions that handle Iran’s money.But Tehran’s hard-line new senior leaders, including Rezaei, have signaled a willingness to dig in after weathering decades of sanctions. Iran has found ways over the years to circumvent sanctions, and now the US blockade of its ports, and get its oil to buyers to help ease growing economic pressures.On the matter of the collapsed negotiations with the US, Rezaei on Sunday expressed wariness not only of the US but also of the mediators. The memorandum of understanding that the US and Iran signed in mid-June, and which Israel is not a party to, began to fall apart within days as each side accused the other of violations.“We had trusted our friends in Pakistan, Qatar or Oman, thinking that since they had stepped in as mediators, one of a mediator’s responsibilities is that if one side violates the agreement, they should stop them,” Rezaei said. “We are now pursuing diplomacy with guarantees.”In an interview with ABC, US Energy Secretary Chris Wright said on Sunday that Washington may not reach a nuclear agreement with Iran, and that it may aim to simply destroy their ability to build a nuclear bomb.“There may not be a nuclear agreement. It may be simply destroying their capabilities to do it [build a nuclear bomb]. An agreement may await the next administration in Iran. We simply don’t know that,” Wright told the news outlet.Iran’s nuclear program, the issue that contributed to the outbreak of the war, was meant to be addressed in negotiations that fell apart soon after the US and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding in mid-June.Prior to last year’s 12-day war, Iran was enriching uranium to 60 percent, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. That is far higher than is necessary for civilian reactor levels, and a short step away from the 90 percent required to build a nuclear weapon.Reports have said 440 kilograms (970 pounds) of highly enriched uranium stored in the facilities was buried by the strikes, but Israel reportedly believes that Iran managed to transfer some of it to the nearby Pickaxe Mountain site following that conflict.Pickaxe Mountain was not hit then or in the latest war, although Trump has repeatedly threatened to bomb it.Diplomats say the US, Britain, France and Germany now seek to refer Iran to the UN Security Council for failure to comply with its nuclear nonproliferation obligations.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that the “end is near” for the Iranian regime, and asserted Israel’s determination to “complete the mission” of toppling it, in a video message released by his office ahead of the Rosh Hashanah holiday.US says 9 million barrels of oil a day pass through the strait-The Strait of Hormuz is crucial to global oil and natural gas shipments and was seen as an international waterway before the war began.On Sunday, Wright said that on average, 9 million barrels of oil a day are getting through the strait, which should help to relieve pressure on energy prices. His estimate appeared to exceed average flows over the past 28 days through the strait, according to TankerTrackers.com and other sources.Wright told CNN that with oil also flowing through pipelines in the region, “we’re probably two-thirds or more of pre-conflict flows.”But those flows depend on the presence of the US Navy to help escort tankers and provide some protection against possible Iranian attack. Wright said he expected that other countries would eventually support the Navy’s efforts.Meanwhile, Iran’s Rezaei, in his interview with state TV, claimed that “every day we are selling one million, one and a half million (barrels), as if Iran’s oil production and trade are continuing as usual.”Iran said to operate right-wing extremist Telegram group to recruit Israeli assets-Iran operated a right-wing extremist group on the Telegram messaging app in order to recruit Israelis to perform tasks with the aim of sowing chaos in Israeli society, the Kan public broadcaster reported on Sunday.The group, named Bnei Haaretz, posted messages promoting the views of Rabbi Meir Kahane, who advocated for the expulsion of Palestinians and Arab Israelis, including a message reading, “The leftists who protect Arabs, understand this well — the transfer law will apply to you too,” as well as personal attacks on opposition politicians.One man, Assaf Arye, from Beersheba, received a message from an Iranian agent who called himself Avi and claimed to be a right-wing activist, according to Kan.The agent subsequently enlisted Arye to carry out various tasks, including handing out fliers and taking photographs of former left-wing lawmaker Mossi Raz’s home.According to Kan, Arye deleted the group when he began to suspect the group was not operated by right-wing activists, after he was asked to perform activities against former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar.Arye was indicted in July, accused of agreeing to harm Raz in exchange for NIS 8,000.Over the past two years, dozens of Israelis, including several soldiers and reservists, have been charged with espionage on behalf of Iran. In many cases, Iranian agents recruited Israelis via social media, specifically through Telegram.Iranian handlers usually start their recruits with relatively mundane tasks such as vandalism or the filming of public locations, which then escalate into more severe, sometimes even violent offenses.The growing number of Iranian agents has even prompted Israel to open up a new wing in Haifa’s Damon prison for those indicted on such spying charges. Most of the cases are still making their way through the legal system.
Iran says it struck unmanned US vessel; US: 'Complete lie'Netanyahu: ‘End is near’ for Iran’s regime, Israel is determined to see it fall
Amid concerns of escalation during holiday season, premier says if Iran ‘miscalculates,’ it will ‘suffer blow it can’t even imagine’; US says oil flow now 2/3 what it was pre-war By Nava Freiberg and Agencies 6 September 2026, 9:48 pm
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that the “end is near” for the Iranian regime, and asserted Israel’s determination to “complete the mission” of toppling it, in a video message released by his office ahead of the Rosh Hashanah holiday.If Iran were to “miscalculate” and attack Israel, “it will suffer a blow it cannot even imagine,” Netanyahu warned in the video, taken at the start of a cabinet meeting.The premier surveyed military accomplishments of recent years, then said: “The achievements are great — but there is more to complete. I mean, first and foremost, the fall of the regime.”The regime, he said, “is weak, it is fighting for its life, it is faltering,” and “its end is near.” In a summary of the video published by his office, the premier was quoted as calling to “complete the mission” of toppling the regime.The comments came amid concerns that Iran could attack Israel during the Jewish holiday season, which begins with Rosh Hashanah on Friday night.Netanyahu made similar remarks on Thursday, saying Israel’s “central mission” is to topple the Iranian regime, while crediting Israel’s military operations since the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, invasion and massacre with stemming the Iranian nuclear and missile threats.Also on Sunday, Iran said it struck an unmanned US vessel trying to enter the Strait of Hormuz, a claim that the US military dismissed as a “total lie.”The purported attack came a day after the US military said forces struck three Iranian oil tankers in response to Navy warships being targeted with ballistic missiles. Experts called it a dangerous escalation after Iran’s previous attacks at sea targeted commercial shipping.“Let the message to the IRGC be clear: If you shoot at two of our ships, we will impose an even higher economic cost —taking out three of yours. We will not hesitate to defend American forces, and if necessary, destroy Iran’s limited and exposed oil fleet.” — Adm.

IDF conducts snap drill testing readiness for ‘sudden, complex, multifront’ scenario-Simulation included infiltrations in north, south and West Bank, rockets on Tel Aviv; Zamir says it is ‘message to our enemies’; most generals kept unaware before exercise launched-By Emanuel Fabian 6 September 2026, 9:33 pm
The Israeli military on Sunday morning carried out a snap drill testing the functioning of the military’s top-level headquarters during a “sudden multifront scenario.”The Israel Defense Forces said the drill, launched by Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, examined “the alertness and readiness” of the headquarters, the readiness of standby forces, and “the ability to deal with a sudden, complex, multifront and large-scale event.”The drill was also intended to better prepare the military for the upcoming Jewish holiday period while also testing the implementation of lessons learned from the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led onslaught and the war that followed, the military said.Most members of the General Staff — including commanders of the military’s commands, directorates and wings — were kept unaware of the exercise, according to the military. The head of the Operations Directorate was the main exception.Top officers were ordered to rush to their headquarters for the drill and manage an erupting crisis. According to the military, the drill was designed to push the General Staff to its limits, testing how commanders would prioritize forces amid simultaneous “complex” incidents on multiple fronts.The drill ended with a scenario in which the entire military would be called up, and the IDF would shift to a defensive posture on all fronts.Among the scenarios tested simultaneously were the infiltration of 10 to 15 terrorists from Lebanon into a border community, a terror attack on Route 60 in the West Bank, an infiltration into a West Bank settlement, rocket attacks on Tel Aviv, and fighting along the Yellow Line in the Gaza Strip.As part of the simulated scenario, the fighting on the Yellow Line spiraled out of control, allowing terrorists to breach Israeli territory from Gaza and infiltrate three border communities.One battalion was airlifted by helicopters from central Israel to the Tzeelim training base in the south, where the troops then “recaptured” one of the communities invaded by the simulated terrorists.During the drill, some military systems were deliberately disrupted to test how commanders would operate without them.No Iranian ballistic missile attack was simulated, as that would have made the scenario artificially decisive. Instead, the IDF focused on creating operational dilemmas for commanders and testing their decision-making under pressure.An initial debrief by senior officers found that the IDF’s overall readiness was “very good.” A more extensive review of the drill was expected to take place in the coming days.Zamir observed the drill from the military’s main command center, as well as touring troops on the ground, the military said. Officers from the IDF Comptroller Unit also carried out examinations at the various headquarters.Speaking at the IDF’s main underground command center at the military’s Kirya headquarters in Tel Aviv, Zamir said the military was in a “tense and volatile period across all sectors,” ahead of the upcoming Jewish holiday season.“We are in a tense and volatile period across all sectors, and are preparing for the upcoming holiday period. We continue to draw lessons, and as I have defined it, the baseline posture of the entire IDF is readiness for a surprise attack,” he said, according to remarks published by the army.“The exercise constitutes a significant part of the IDF’s preparations for the upcoming holiday period,” Zamir said during the assessment.Later, while visiting troops at the Tzeelim training base, he said the drill was “a message to our enemies.”“The IDF is capable, prepared and ready to defend the State of Israel, and prepared to act quickly and attack with force anyone who tries to harm us,” Zamir said while visiting troops taking part in the exercise.“Our message is clear — anyone who tries to harm the State of Israel and its citizens will face a determined, prepared and ready IDF, and will pay an immediate and very heavy price,” he added.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Fighting between government forces and Iran-backed Houthis in southwest Yemen has killed more than 300 combatants, as well as some civilians, since the rebels launched an offensive Thursday, according to a tally based on military and medical sources.Two military officials with the Saudi-backed government forces told AFP that 84 of their troops were killed since midday Saturday, mostly in missile attacks, while four Houthi military sources said 57 rebel fighters were killed in the same period.Days-long clashes have erupted in Yemen over control of a gateway to the Red Sea in the deadliest fighting in the Arabian Peninsula country since a 2022 ceasefire between the two sides collapsed in July.Beginning on Thursday, the Houthis launched an offensive aiming to cut off the government-held port city of Mokha, under fire for weeks, and advance towards areas bordering the Bab el-Mandeb chokepoint at the southern entrance to the Red Sea.One military official with the internationally recognized government based in Aden said fighting had subsided in the early hours of Sunday morning.The military official said government “forces were able to establish positions for themselves north of Hays after advancing in the area,” referring to a frontline district less than 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) inland from the Red Sea coast.But the official added the Houthis had advanced west of Taiz, south of Hays, in their push toward Bab el-Mandeb.With Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz to commercial ships, the Bab el-Mandeb chokepoint has gained importance as a transit route for oil from Saudi Arabia, the world’s biggest exporter of crude.In July, a fragile truce between the Houthis and Yemen’s government fell apart after the rebels welcomed an Iranian plane to the capital Sanaa, setting off a spate of attacks.The fighting between the Iran-backed Houthis and government troops supported by US ally Saudi Arabia signals the emergence of a new front in the wider Middle East war, which broke out in late February with US-Israeli strikes on Iran.The Houthis have also announced a maritime blockade of Saudi Arabia and have begun targeting its ships and territory.
Greek premier, leaning into Israeli defense cooperation, courts Arab states as well-Days after inking $3.5b deal with Israel for air defense help amid shared Turkey concerns, Kyriakos Mitsotakis to visit Egypt this week, says he’s planning Saudi trip soon-By DEMETRIS NELLAS 6 September 2026, 6:40 pm
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece will press ahead with its strategic defense cooperation with Israel but also wants to deepen relations with other states in the Middle East, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said Sunday.Greece-Israeli ties and defense, security and energy cooperation have become increasingly close over the past decade, and Mitsotakis enjoys a friendly rapport with his counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu. Shared concerns about Turkey have helped boost ties.The two countries signed a 3 billion euro ($3.5 billion) deal on August 31 for Israel to build an air defense shield in Greece.
Mitsotakis told reporters in Thessaloniki that Greece is only one of five NATO countries spending at least 3.5 percent of its GDP on core defense.
Greece’s traditionally high spending has been fueled by almost constant tensions with Turkey, and its questioning of Greek sovereignty over parts of the Aegean Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean. Greece recognizes only the demarcation of the two countries’ respective maritime zones as an issue to be negotiated or sent to international arbitration.Asked about US President Donald Trump’s expressed desire to sell the advanced F-35 multirole combat aircraft to Turkey, Mitsotakis replied that he will not tell the US what to do, but noted that legal obstacles remain as Turkey was sanctioned for buying the S-400 air defense system from Russia.Greece will take delivery of its first 20 F-35s in late 2028, with an option to buy 20 more.Mitsotakis also said he planned to visit Saudi Arabia soon, and that the recently concluded Mecca Joint Defense Agreement among Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey changes nothing in Greece’s relations with Riyadh.Greece has maintained an air defense battery in Saudi Arabia since 2021, and has used its Patriot missiles four times since July to down drones and ballistic missiles, allegedly from Yemen, aimed at the kingdom’s oil refineries.Mitsotakis will visit Cairo on Tuesday for talks with Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi.
Kushner: Israel acting ‘a little irrational’ on Gaza due to upcoming election-US envoy says Israel and US agree on ‘end state for Gaza’; father and daughter reportedly killed in strike in Gaza City, IDF spokesperson says it targeted terror operative-By Jacob Magid, Nurit Yohanan and Reuters Today, 3:05 amUpdated at 8:04 am-SEP 7,26
US special envoy Jared Kushner said on Sunday that next month’s Knesset election has made Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government act “a little irrational” when it comes to Gaza, amid Israel’s rejection of the Board of Peace’s proposal to disarm Hamas and ongoing strikes on the enclave.“I think we agree with the Israelis on the end state for Gaza,” Kushner said at a press appearance during a visit to Kyiv, where he was taking part in negotiations over the war in Ukraine.“They just have crazy elections, and that makes them a little irrational in certain regards,” he added.The US has been trying to advance the Board of Peace’s plan to decommission the weapons of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza, to be paired with an Israeli withdrawal from the Strip.However, Israel’s opposition to the plan has led to its stalling, and the terror group is unlikely to disarm before the Knesset vote on October 27.Amid the opposition, Defense Minister Israel Katz and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir have both called for plans to facilitate the emigration of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, drawing criticism from Muslim countries, who said such plans contradict the “firm rejection of forced displacement,” in the US-backed October 2025 peace plan for Gaza.Katz said last week Israel was prepared to facilitate departures by land, sea and air, but acknowledged that no countries were currently willing to absorb Gazans on the scale envisioned.Meanwhile, Hamas-run media outlets in Gaza reported Sunday that an 8-year-old girl was killed and several people were wounded in an IDF strike on a vehicle in the al-Nasr neighborhood of Gaza City.Mohamed Abu Selmia, head of Shifa Hospital, the enclave’s largest medical facility, said the airstrike hit a vehicle in western Gaza City, killing Youssef Akila and his daughter, Wafaa, and wounding six others.An Israeli military spokesperson said forces targeted a Hamas terror operative, and the military was still looking into the results of the attack.Separately, the IDF said Monday morning that it had struck Hamas sites in the Gaza Strip overnight in response to an explosive device that hit a military vehicle a day earlier.The bomb planted by Hamas that struck an engineering vehicle operating on the Israeli side of the “Yellow Line” in the Strip’s north on Sunday caused no injuries, according to the military. The IDF said the incident was a “blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement by the Hamas terror organization.”In response, several Hamas infrastructure sites used by the terror group to advance attacks were struck overnight, the military added.Despite the ongoing ceasefire, the military has pushed ahead with a campaign to kill every Gaza terrorist who was involved in the October 7, 2023, massacre which sparked the war in the Strip.Hamas-led terrorists invaded Israel on October 7, slaughtering some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking 251 hostages.While Israel has acknowledged the campaign and vowed it would continue until the last of those involved are dead, the military has frequently justified the killings in terms of responding to ceasefire violations.Emanuel Fabian contributed to this report.
US personnel said polygraphed over munitions shortage leaks-US military says it destroyed 3 Iranian oil tankers after IRGC targeted its warships
One vessel ‘permanently disabled’ near Kharg Island, another near port of Jask; Tehran has vowed strong response to attacks on Kharg, which further jeopardize economy By ToI Staff and Agencies 5 September 2026, 4:20 pm
The US military said Saturday it had struck and destroyed three oil tankers linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps after the Iranian military organization fired on American warships.“Following Iran’s failed attacks, CENTCOM permanently disabled the IRGC crude oil carriers M/T Downy off the coast of Kharg Island and M/T Stark 1 near Jask. American forces also completely destroyed the unladen crude oil carrier M/T Kylo… in the Gulf of Oman, striking the vessel in multiple critical locations to render it inoperable after the crew was directed to abandon ship,” US Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement on X.The semi-official Iranian news agency Tasnim had earlier reported that a tanker was hit by US forces near Kharg Island, a key oil export hub in the Persian Gulf.According to a Tasnim correspondent from Kharg, the tanker was hit by four US missiles in the area of Kharg Island’s anchorage. Tasnim quoted local sources as saying there were no casualties and the tanker’s crew was being evacuated.There was no immediate official announcement by Iranian authorities.US President Donald Trump said on August 31 in a one-line social media post, accompanied by an AI-generated video, that Kharg Island was being “blown to smithereens.” Iranian authorities have vowed a strong response if Kharg is attacked.“Let the message to the IRGC be clear: If you shoot at two of our ships, we will impose an even higher economic cost —taking out three of yours. We will not hesitate to defend American forces, and if necessary, destroy Iran’s limited and exposed oil fleet.” — Adm. Brad Cooper,… ic.twitter.com/UGGcSGsUtd — U.S. Central Command (@CENTCOM) September 5, 2026-Iran is the third-largest producer in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and exported 90 percent of its crude via Kharg Island before the war, but flows have been disrupted since a US blockade of Iranian oil exports began in mid-April.A US attack on Kharg would heap further pressure on Iran’s oil industry and its wider economy, which is already reeling from the naval blockade.Trump said on June 11 that he wanted to take over Kharg Island, but then said a threatened US military operation there was off the table for now, days before Tehran and Washington on June 17 signed an interim agreement aimed at ending the war.The agreement collapsed within days due to disputes over control of the Strait of Hormuz.Iran blockaded the strait — choking off about a fifth of the world’s commercial oil shipments — early in the war that the US and Israel launched on Iran on February 28 in a bid to destroy the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program and missile capabilities.The US has continued attacking Iranian targets near the strait, while Iran has attacked US bases in Arab states.A bombardment in the southern Iranian town of Kuestak on Tuesday evening killed five people at a wedding, including a 4-year-old boy, a 16-year-old, two women who died on the spot and another woman who succumbed to her wounds at a hospital on Thursday.On Friday, an Associated Press team made a rare visit to the town, which overlooks the Strait of Hormuz. A US weapons expert who reviewed images from the scene said the evidence suggests the strikes were carried out with American guided bombs.US Vice President JD Vance said Thursday that he was briefed on the wedding attack. “We’re investigating it very fully,” he said, adding that the US never targets civilians in combat but “sometimes things happen.”Kuhestak is about 30 kilometers (18 miles) from the town of Minab, where more than 100 children were killed in an American missile strike that hit a primary school on the first day of the war.US Joint Staff members said polygraphed over leaks-While the US and Iran have continued exchanging fire, multiple outlets have reported that American forces face a munitions shortage.Last month, CNN reported that the US military had used up to nearly 80% of its interceptors for the THAAD anti-ballistic missile defense system and approximately 50% of its Patriot interceptors, leaving the supply of those munitions “dangerously low.”US government investigators have polygraphed about 50 members of the US military’s Joint Staff over suspected leaks to journalists, including on the munitions shortage, The New York Times reported Friday, citing officials briefed on the extraordinary move.According to the report, military officers and civilian employees were questioned in August as to whether they had leaked classified information.Between 1,500 and 2,000 people work for the Joint Staff, “which coordinates operations, policy and war plans with combatant commanders around the world,” the Times said.Rear Adm. Donald J. Guter, a retired top judge advocate general for the Navy, called the move “unprecedented.”“I’ve never seen polygraphs employed this broadly or at this seniority level,” he told the Times.The Pentagon said in a statement to The Times that it “does not comment on internal personnel or investigative matters but takes all leaks of classified national security information extremely seriously and investigates accordingly.”

US ambassador to Israel: 'The Brits have lost it'Huckabee accuses UK government of ‘Jew hate’ over claim Israel blocking medicine from Gaza
British foreign secretary alleges children in Gaza are dying while waiting for medical treatment, prompting anger from both US and Israel, which denies his accusation By ToI Staff 6 September 2026, 1:16 am
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee bashed British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband on Saturday and accused the UK government of having “lost it,” after the Labour lawmaker published a video discussing allegations of Israel blocking the entry of medication to the Gaza Strip.The Foreign Ministry also responded to Miliband and denied that Israel was preventing Palestinians from accessing medical treatment.Miliband, in the video published on Friday, says he attended a meeting on the “horrific” healthcare situation in the Gaza Strip, where he said he was told about “medicines being blocked” from entering and of “children dying while waiting for vital life-saving treatment.”Huckabee, in response to Miliband’s video, said, “The Brits have lost it.”“The Jew hate of their government knows no boundaries and knows no facts, Huckabee wrote on X, declining to note that Miliband is Jewish.The Foreign Ministry, meanwhile, denied that Israel was blocking medicine from entering Gaza or that it was preventing Palestinians from seeking medical treatment abroad, and insisted that Miliband was “well aware of all this.”“If the Foreign Secretary were interested in facts rather than stories, he would know that there are no restrictions whatsoever on the entry of medicines into the Gaza Strip, and that no medicines are being blocked,” wrote the Foreign Ministry on X.It added that “22,500 tons of medical supplies have entered Gaza since the ceasefire began” in October 2025 when the ceasefire started, and that in the past two weeks alone, 200 Palestinians have exited the enclave for medical treatment.“The UK is a member of the International Gaza Support Center, which facilitates the delivery of medical aid to the Gaza Strip,” the Foreign Ministry added, referring to the US-led coordination center in Kiryat Gat.UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband: I just came out of this meeting talking about Gaza to people who've been there and are there on the ground. And frankly, it was horrific what is unfolding. You know, the stories that people were telling me of medicines being blocked, children… pic.twitter.com/UCq8ChMHD0 — Clash Report (@clashreport) September 5, 2026-Miliband was appointed foreign secretary in mid-July by Prime Minister Andy Burnham and has since called for a “comprehensive reset” of British policy toward Israel. Miliband is the son of Jewish refugees.The clash comes as relations between Israel and the United Kingdom have deteriorated further over Jerusalem’s controversial E1 settlement project, which would impede territorial contiguity between major Palestinian population centers.Israel is reportedly considering expelling British representatives from the Gaza coordination center amid growing tensions between London and Jerusalem over E1.On Tuesday, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar warned that Israel “will act against” Britain if it follows through on threatened measures against settlements, saying Jerusalem has “tools” at its disposal.British media have reported that Burnham’s government is considering a complete ban on trade in goods from Israeli West Bank settlements as part of its response to E1.The UK already sanctions and bars entry to National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.The Kiryat Gat center has itself become part of the dispute. Britain said last month that removing its representatives from the US-led International Gaza Support Center would “undermine” efforts to improve conditions in Gaza.London said it maintains a presence there at the request of the United States and the US-backed Board of Peace and works alongside Israel, international partners and UN agencies to support implementation of the American postwar plan for Gaza. A source familiar with the matter told The Times of Israel that Israel was weighing expelling the British officials and considering “other measures” against London.The threat against the British delegation followed a similar step against the Netherlands. Sa’ar announced in late August that Dutch representatives would be removed from the center after what he described as a series of “anti-Israel measures” by The Hague.The planned E1 expansion would connect the Jerusalem and Ma’ale Adumim areas, effectively scuttling the prospect of contiguous Palestinian sovereignty between the population centers of Bethlehem, East Jerusalem and Ramallah — long considered the basis of a future Palestinian state.The project was frozen for years amid fierce opposition from the international community, including past US administrations, which feared that building a new settlement neighborhood on the mostly empty tract of land would rule out the establishment of a Palestinian state.Supporters of the E1 settlement expansion say they want to block Palestinian statehood. Last month, the government opened bidding for the construction of seven residential compounds with 1,234 housing units in the E1 area, after greenlighting construction of roughly 3,400 units last August.Miliband called the plan “unacceptable and destructive” in a written statement last month, and said his office was working to prepare a “comprehensive set of measures” in response, including sanctions against “those who participate in illegal settlement expansion.”Sa’ar hit back at Miliband, calling his statement “patronizing,” and accused the British government of contributing “to a massive wave of antisemitic hatred and attacks against the British Jewish community” and harming the UK-Israeli relationship.
Goal is to diagnose deadliest cancer before symptoms occur-$60 Israeli blood test can detect stage 2-4 lung cancer with 93% accuracy, study shows
Tel Aviv University researchers develop simple chip that skips DNA sequencing; findings can pave the way for earlier cancer diagnostics and real-time treatment monitoring By Diana Bletter Follow-Today, 11:00 am
Israeli researchers have developed a simple, fast, $60 blood test for diagnosing lung cancer that eliminates the need for costly DNA sequencing.In peer-reviewed research of 103 participants, the test accurately identified 93 percent of stage 2-4 lung cancers while ruling out cancer in 90 percent of the healthy control group. Using fluorescent light, the scientists analyzed chemical patterns on DNA fragments circulating in the bloodstream.The research was led by scientists at Tel Aviv University’s School of Chemistry in collaboration with JaxBio Technologies, and physicians at Haifa’s Bnai Zion Medical Center and Sheba Medical Center near Tel Aviv.“Lung cancer is one of the most fatal cancers and one of the most common cancers,” said Dr. Abed Agbarya, director of the oncology department at Bnei Zion Medical Center, lead author of the study and its main clinical researcher. He told The Times of Israel during a Zoom interview, “Most people arrive in the last stages of the disease. If we can discover the disease in its early stages, we can go to surgery. We can go to a full cure. The five-year survival rate would be much better.”The study was published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Precision Oncology.A more extensive trial is now underway across several hospitals in Israel and Europe, where clinicians are evaluating the researchers’ uniquely designed chip and using it for patient follow-up. This trial phase is expected to conclude by mid-2027.Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, accounting for an estimated 1.8 million deaths annually, according to the World Health Organization. About 2,000 Israelis die from the disease each year.Because early-stage lung cancer rarely presents symptoms, the vast majority of patients are diagnosed only after the disease has already spread, drastically reducing their chances of survival.“Many people with undiagnosed lung cancer come to the emergency room during the winter with a bloody cough and shortness of breath,” Agbarya explained. “They have COPD and emphysema symptoms. Up to 60% of patients are diagnosed with lung cancer only when they are in advanced stages.”Agbarya said that while the Israeli health basket offers low-dose CT tests, fewer than 20% of patients undergo this screening.“That figure is worldwide, not only in Israel,” he said. “Patients don’t want to do the test. That’s why we want to catch lung cancer in people early, before they are symptomatic.”Agbarya first connected with Dr. Yuval Ebenstein of Tel Aviv University through the 8400 Health Network, a network of roughly 400 leading researchers, executives, and clinicians working across Israel’s health tech and biotechnology sectors. Agbarya said he was responsible for the clinical arm of the research, while Ebenstein led the chemical and technological development of the blood test.“We combine chemistry and physics to provide solutions,” Ebenstein told The Times of Israel in a Zoom interview. For the research, his team combined chemistry with genomics, the branch of biotechnology that applies molecular techniques and high-speed DNA sequencing to map and analyze complete sets of genes.“We realized that chemical changes in DNA characterize different tumors,” he said. “We invented a chemical reaction that lights up these chemical changes.”“We took a bunch of little DNA molecules out of the bloodstream,” Ebenstein explained. “We labeled them and tracked the light they emitted, which signified the chemical changes caused by the cancer.”The researchers then put light-emitting DNA molecules on a specially developed glass chip.“Each spot gives off a different level of light based on its chemical makeup and the different amounts of chemical change,” he said. “The grid on the glass looks like a tiny QR code.”Dr. Yuval Ebenstein of Tel Aviv University’s School of Chemistry-The next step is the computational part, Ebenstein said, where the scientists connected the pattern of light to a pattern of the disease.“We were then able to accurately detect stage 2-4 lung cancer,” he said. “It’s just a blood test, and it’s very cheap. It doesn’t cost thousands of shekels.”The method also successfully differentiated between the two primary subtypes of lung cancer: adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.“The test is designed to give solutions to low-income countries because it’s very simple and doesn’t need a lot of infrastructure,” Ebenstein said. “We’re hoping that it could be integrated into routine blood tests.”‘Genuinely clever’ solution-Dr. Ari Raphael, Head of Translational Oncology at Rabin Medical Center’s Davidoff Cancer Center, told the Times of Israel that lung cancer is “the world’s deadliest cancer precisely because it is rarely caught early enough.”Raphael was not involved with the research.“What I find genuinely clever about this study is its ability to identify cancer-related DNA changes through a simple blood test, without expensive sequencing,” he said. “It detects stage 2-4 cancer with over 90% sensitivity and specificity, correctly flagging patients and correctly clearing healthy individuals.”Raphael said that “a fast and affordable tool like this, even at these stages, could meaningfully aid both diagnosis and treatment monitoring.”He pointed out, however, that it was tested in just over 100 patients.“The real challenge ahead is proving it works at Stage 1, when curative treatment is most within reach,” Raphael said. “That is the bar every liquid biopsy must clear before earning a place in the clinic.”‘I feel like this is my mission’For both Agbarya and Ebenstein, the research carries deep personal significance.Ebenstein’s interest in the work was sparked by his stepfather’s diagnosis of a preliminary stage of multiple myeloma, a blood cancer.“That’s how I got interested in studying this,” he said. “I realized that the technologies that we’re developing in the lab are the right tools to follow cancers.”Agbarya said he felt compelled to get involved in the research because lung cancer accounts for 29.2 percent of male cancer deaths among Israeli Arabs compared to 18.1 percent among Jewish men, adding that up to 42 percent of adult Arab men identified as heavy smokers.“In the north, in Haifa and Nazareth where I work with these patients, I see that they can’t afford to travel to the center for treatments,” he said. “They need somebody who invests in them and brings them new treatments. I feel like this is my mission. I want to treat my community, and even protect and diagnose them in the early stages of their disease. They need this support.”He added that over the course of their research, he and Ebenstein became close friends.“Yuval [Ebenstein] was one of the first people I called to say that my son got into Tel Aviv University Medical School,” Agbarya said. “Despite the last really horrible few years that we have had, and what we are still going through, we’re working together on projects. We still have this hope.”
Israeli scientists develop huge sponge to mop up and ‘eat’ oil spills-Ben-Gurion University scientists say plant material, enriched with nutrients to attract oil-guzzling bacteria, can absorb 100 times its own mass in crude oil or fuel in just seconds By Sue Surkes Follow-6 September 2026, 4:03 pm
Scientists at southern Israel’s Ben-Gurion University have engineered a high-tech sponge made from plant fibers that can both mop up an oil spill and feed the bacteria that feast on oil and break it down, the university said.The usual methods for tackling oil spills are to skim and soak up the black mess or wait for nature’s microscopic cleaners to digest it.But oil-eating bacteria operate slowly in open water because they lack essential nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus.In the past, scientists tried dumping liquid fertilizers into oil-slicked waters to feed the bacteria. While it helped accelerate cleanup, the liquid fertilizer quickly diluted into ocean currents, lost its effectiveness, and sometimes caused unintended environmental consequences, such as triggering massive algae blooms.The new research, led by Prof. Ariel Kushmaro and headed by Dr. Danit Lisa Karsagi Biron in the Environmental Biotechnology Laboratory, combines physical strength with sped-up biology.The scientists created a spongy material made from cellulose fibers enriched with nutrients, then freeze-dried and baked at high heat (pyrolysis) to create a porous aerogel that acts like an ultra-light sponge. It repels water while locking onto petroleum compounds and can absorb roughly 100 times its own mass in crude oil or fuel in just seconds.Once the oil is trapped, the aerogel transforms into a micro-ecosystem. The baked-in nutrients give local oil-degrading bacteria a comfortable platform from which to guzzle their favorite food source. Instead of floating away or washing out, the nutrients remain on the sponge. Bacteria swarm the fibers, form dense colonies, and rapidly break down the trapped pollutants, then devour the sponge itself.“These findings demonstrate the potential of the method we developed as a versatile and sustainable platform for treating oil spills in aquatic and marine environments,” a university statement quoted Kushmaro as saying. “By combining physical adsorption with biodegradation, the technology offers a promising and innovative alternative to conventional approaches, addressing both immediate containment and long-term environmental recovery.”The research team also included Hanna Barak, Barak Halpern, Esti Kramarski-Winter, Lee Sheli, Noa Azri, Prof. Shmuel Hayoun, and the late Prof. Alex Sivan, all from Ben-Gurion University.The research is published last month in Chemical Engineering Journal Advances and the product is currently undergoing patent protection through BGN Technologies, the university’s technology commercialization company.
Analysis State election is a 'litmus test for the democratic center'German far-right AfD party’s projected win puts Jews between the left and a hard place
Populist Alternative for Germany faces accusations of antisemitism as it’s poised to win big in Sunday’s elections in state of Saxony-Anhalt. What does it bode for a beleaguered Jewish community? By Joshua Schultheis 5 September 2026, 1:07 pm
BERLIN — Ulrich Siegmund, the leading candidate for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, has made a Simson moped the symbol of his election campaign.The small Simson motorcycles are produced by a company originally founded by a Jewish family and now manufactured in East Germany. Today, they have a cult following and for many AfD supporters, Simson represents East German pride, individual freedom, and resistance to an establishment they see as predominantly West German and liberal.Siegmund’s regular campaign events have featured dozens of vintage Simson mopeds and drawn large crowds of supporters. A rising star in his party, the 35-year-old was recently labeled “Germany’s most dangerous man” by Der Spiegel.Should the AfD come out ahead in this Sunday’s election in Saxony-Anhalt, as polls predict, Siegmund could become the first far-right head of a German state government in the postwar era.Among those watching the election with alarm is Dennis Baum, the US-based heir and spokesperson for the Simson family.Baum’s uncles, Arthur and Julius Simson, were the last Jewish managing directors of Simson-Werke before the company was expropriated by the Nazis. The family won back exclusive rights to the Simson brand name as part of a partial restitution agreement they reached following German reunification.In a recent interview with Tagesspiegel, Baum described the AfD as “antisemitic,” saying, “We find any association with the AfD repulsive and an insult to our family name.”The Baum family’s concerns are not unique: Jewish organizations in Germany have warned for years about the danger the AfD poses to the country’s Jewish community, which has about 100,000 formally affiliated members. As early as 2017, around three dozen Jewish organizations published a statement describing the party as unacceptable to Jewish voters.Since then, the AfD has become increasingly radicalized. In 2025, Germany’s domestic intelligence service classified the party as right-wing extremist, allowing for intelligence monitoring — a decision the AfD is currently challenging in court.Despite this, the party has continued to gain support. Last year, it became the largest opposition party and the second-largest party in the German parliament.The AfD has been particularly successful — and radical — in eastern Germany. Days before the Saxony-Anhalt elections, polls show the AfD holding a commanding lead of around 40%, while the governing CDU trails at just over 20% among the state’s over 2 million population.No other party has said it would be willing to form a coalition with the AfD. But if several smaller parties fail to pass the 5% threshold required to enter the state parliament, 40% of the vote could potentially be enough to give the AfD an absolute majority.Josef Schuster, president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, told The Times of Israel that the election is a “litmus test for the democratic center” and called Siegmund a “declared enemy of our open society.”Schuster urged the other parties to maintain their refusal to cooperate with the AfD.For Saxony-Anhalt’s Jewish community, the stakes are particularly concrete: A state government has authority over funding for the police, school curricula and cultural institutions. The state’s small Jewish community, numbering around 1,100 members, relies heavily on the state for security and financial support.State governments also hold seats in the Bundesrat, Germany’s upper house of parliament, whose approval is required for some federal legislation.Nazi era ‘happened a long time ago’The AfD’s election manifesto in Saxony-Anhalt is among the party’s most radical to date. It demands that children of asylum seekers be taught in “special classes” and refers to homosexuality as a “sexual deviation.”The platform also criticizes German politicians for avoiding “any positive reference to our rich history prior to 1933,” claiming this “national masochism” prevents “stable national identity formation.” The party promises to “heal this identity disorder” through a new cultural policy and usher in a “patriotic turnaround.”Across the manifesto’s 250 pages, there is no explicit reference to the Holocaust, Nazi crimes, or Jewish history.The manifesto’s main author, Hans-Thomas Tillschneider, deputy chairman of the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt, told The Times of Israel that the Nazi era was “the darkest chapter in German history.” However, he added, “all of that happened a long time ago and no longer affects us in the here and now.”Tillschneider has repeatedly been accused of antisemitic statements. In 2018, he said the Central Council of Jews was “using” Islam to “bring about the abolition of our people,” language critics said echoed conspiracy theories about Jews orchestrating Muslim migration.He denied that the statement was antisemitic, arguing that “Islam in Germany is not only displacing German culture, it is also threatening Jewish life,” and suggested that the Central Council should “extend a hand to the AfD.”Siegmund himself rarely draws attention for overtly extremist statements and is often described as the “friendly face” of the AfD. But media investigations have found that four former members of a banned neo-Nazi organization are among his close political associates.Confronted with the findings, Siegmund defended the four to Die Welt as “outstanding people.”He did not respond to a request for comment from The Times of Israel. In November 2025, however, he described allegations of antisemitism against his party as “completely absurd,” saying the AfD approaches Jews “with respect and appreciation.”Among the relatively few Jews who publicly support Siegmund and the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt is Artur Abramovych, chairman of Jews in the AfD, which says it has about 25 members.Abramovych believes Jews would benefit from an AfD government because it would end what he called “state funding of left-wing extremist nonsense,” pointing to anti-Israel actions by left-wing students. He also welcomed the AfD’s plan to cut funding for state broadcasting, which he called “anti-Israel reporting.”Asked about the former neo-Nazis in Siegmund’s circle, Abramovych said, “As long as they do not introduce neo-Nazi ideology into the campaign, it is a secondary issue.”He argued that Jewish organizations such as the Central Council face a choice over “which is the lesser evil” — a government that potentially includes either the AfD or the far-left party Die Linke, which is fiercely critical of Israel and has passed resolutions that one former party leader said were perilously close to questioning Israel’s right to exist.Jewish groups aim for ‘pragmatism’Max Privorozki, a board member of the state’s Jewish association and head of the Jewish Community of Halle, whose synagogue was targeted in a 2019 neo-Nazi terrorist attack, took a more cautious view.Privorozki told The Times of Israel that he “personally doesn’t like” the AfD’s statements on Germany’s culture of Holocaust remembrance, but stopped short of saying that the Jewish community could not work with an AfD-led government.“Regardless of who forms the government in the future, we must continue to represent the interests of the Jewish community,” Privorozki said.He named two red lines: “The Jewish community must be able to continue existing and working, and Israel’s right to exist remains inviolable.”Those concerns are not directed exclusively at the AfD. Die Linke and the populist BSW have taken strongly critical positions toward Israel and have also faced accusations of antisemitism.Together with the AfD, the three parties currently account for up to 60% of the vote in some polls.“The Jewish communities have little influence on the upcoming political situation, which is why pragmatism above all is required,” Privorozki said.The Jewish community has taken some steps to protect itself against political uncertainty. Last December, the state government amended a law providing Jewish communities with increased security and funding.The AfD has not said whether it will leave the law untouched if it comes to power, and its election manifesto says nothing about how the party would cooperate with the state’s Jewish community.For Privorosky and other Jewish leaders in Saxony-Anhalt, that leaves a basic question unresolved just days before the vote: not only whether the AfD will take power under Siegmund, but what it will do with it.
Teen from northern Bedouin town charged with pledging allegiance to Islamic State-Yaqoub Shibli, 19, consumed online ISIS content, say police and Shin Bet, in latest in string of arrests of Israeli youth associating with terror group-By Noam Lehmann Today, 11:28 am-SEP 7,26
A teen from the northern Bedouin town of Shibli was set to be charged on Monday with membership in a terrorist organization, after he allegedly pledged allegiance to Islamic State.Yaqoub Shibli, 19, was arrested on August 16, and his interrogators learned he “expressed identification with the Islamic State terrorist organization, including watching content about the terrorist organization and pledging allegiance to it,” police and the Shin Bet said Monday in a joint statement.The Northern District Attorney’s Office is slated to indict Shibli on Monday at the Nazareth-Nof Hagalil Magistrate’s Court, the statement said.It added that this is the fourth time in recent weeks that a resident of northern Israel faces an indictment for allegedly joining Islamic State.“The Shin Bet and Israel Police act resolutely against any activity that endangers the security of the state and its citizens, and against any activity in which Israeli citizens seek to act against Israelis on behalf of a terrorist organization,” the security agencies said.Last week, a former IDF soldier was charged with training to fight abroad with ISIS.The Haifa District Attorney’s Office filed an indictment against Khamis Sawaed, a resident of the northern Bedouin village of Hussniyya in his 30s, at the city’s Magistrate’s Court along with a request to keep him in custody until the end of the legal proceedings.Sawaed indicated during police interrogation that he had watched how-to videos on warfare and missile and drone production out of “identification with the Islamic State terror group,” according to the Shin Bet and police.According to the indictment filed against Sawaed and cited in Hebrew-language media, he served in the IDF from 2017 to 2019, but in 2023 became interested in ISIS. He then began watching the training videos in 2024, after deciding he would eventually go abroad, either to Syria or somewhere in Africa, to fight alongside the group.And late last month, two teenagers from the Galilee were also indicted for planning ISIS-inspired attacks against security forces.The first suspect to be arrested, on August 4, was a 16-year-old resident of the Galilee.An investigation revealed that he was searching online for instructions on how to prepare explosive belts, and that he “intended to carry out an attack against police officers and Jewish soldiers on the Temple Mount,” the statement alleged.Several days later, as the investigation progressed, another suspect was arrested. He was identified as Ibrahim Kaabia, 19, a resident of Haifa. Kaabia also swore allegiance to ISIS and was planning to attack an army base in northern Israel, police said.Dozens of Arab citizens have been arrested in recent years on suspicion of plotting attacks on behalf of Islamic State, including five residents of Taybe who allegedly plotted to set off a car bomb at Tel Aviv’s Azrieli mall in 2024.

Eleven said killed, including 2 children, in overnight IDF strikes in south Lebanon-Casualties are reported in attacks on Kfar Reman, including drone strike said to kill two medics from Hezbollah-linked group; strikes also reported in Nabatieh and Deir al-Zahrani By Emanuel Fabian Today, 11:28 am-SEP 7,26
Lebanese media reported 11 dead and five wounded in Israeli airstrikes overnight Sunday-Monday in the southern Lebanon town of Kfar Reman.According to the state-run National News Agency, a strike carried out by Israeli fighter jets on a residential building in the town after midnight killed nine people, including two children, and wounded five others.A separate drone strike on a car in Kfar Reman killed two paramedics of the Hezbollah-allied Amal movement’s Risala Scouts, according to NNA.NNA added that other Israeli strikes overnight hit Nabatieh and the nearby town of Arab Salim. A strike also destroyed a building in Deir al-Zahrani, after the Israel Defense Forces issued an evacuation warning for it.“Hezbollah’s terrorist activity compels the IDF to act forcefully against it,” the army said of the area, adding that it was targeting a “Hezbollah terrorist facility.”An evacuation warning had not been issued for Kfar Reman.There was no immediate comment from the IDF on any of the strikes.The latest strikes came after Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon on Sunday killed seven people and wounded 20 others, according to Lebanese authorities, after Hezbollah launched two explosive drones at Israeli troops operating in the area.Israeli forces remain deployed inside what Israel describes as a “security zone” extending roughly 10 kilometers (6 miles) into southern Lebanon along the border.Israel and Lebanon signed a US-brokered framework agreement on June 26 aimed at paving the way toward an eventual peace deal. Israel agreed to withdraw from two small areas beyond its original security zone, with Lebanese troops taking over, while Israeli officials said further withdrawals would depend on measurable progress by the Lebanese army in disarming Hezbollah.In Lebanon, the Israeli military has said that it has killed over 2,500 Hezbollah operatives, including hundreds of members of the terror group’s elite Radwan Force, since the Iranian proxy attacked Israel on March 2, in support of Tehran. Tallies have put the total Lebanese death toll at some 4,300.40 IDF soldiers and one Defense Ministry civilian contractor have been killed in southern Lebanon since March. Two civilians were also killed by Hezbollah rockets, and an Israeli civilian was mistakenly killed in the north by Israeli artillery shelling.Agencies contributed to this report.
Germany to fight claims at ICJ it is ‘facilitating’ Gaza genocide by arming Israel-Berlin – the second-largest supplier of arms to Israel – rejects allegations in case filed by Nicaragua at International Court of Justice, saying it has ‘no basis in fact or law’By AP and ToI Staff Today, 9:55 am-SEP 7,26
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Germany on Monday will challenge claims at the United Nations’ top court that it is “facilitating” acts of genocide in Gaza by providing arms and other military support to Israel.Nicaragua, which launched the case at the International Court of Justice, accuses Berlin of violating the Genocide Convention and international humanitarian law. While the case centers on Germany, it indirectly takes aim at Israel’s campaign in Gaza in response to the deadly October 7, 2023 attacks by Hamas.Israel, which isn’t a party in the proceedings, strongly denies that its actions amount to acts of genocide.Monday’s hearing at the court in The Hague will address questions raised by Germany over whether the court has jurisdiction in the case.The conflict has left tens of thousands of Palestinians dead and devastated the enclave. Despite a fragile ceasefire brokered by the United States last year, violence has continued. Since the ceasefire was announced, Israeli fire has killed more than 1,300 Palestinians in Gaza, according to figures supplied by the Hamas-run health ministry, that do not differentiate between civilians and combatants.The IDF says five Israeli soldiers have also been killed in the same period.Germany has been a staunch supporter of Israel for decades and is the second-largest supplier of arms to Israel after the United States.Berlin denies Nicaragua’s allegations. The head of Germany’s legal team, Tania von Uslar-Gleichen, told judges during an earlier hearing that Nicaragua’s claims “have no basis in fact or law.”Last year, Germany stopped authorizing any exports of military equipment to Israel that could be used in Gaza but later lifted those restrictions.In 2024, the court rejected an emergency request from Nicaragua to order Germany to halt military and other aid to Israel in Gaza, but the 16-judge panel declined to throw out the case altogether.The proceedings are the latest legal attempt to rein in Israel’s military campaign, after South Africa accused Israel of genocide at the same court in 2023.In January 2024, judges at the ICJ ordered Israel to do all it can to prevent death, destruction and any acts of genocide in Gaza. Two months later, the court told Israel to take measures to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza, including opening more land crossings to allow food, water, fuel and other supplies.South Africa claims that Israel largely ignored those orders.Both South Africa’s case against Israel and Nicaragua’s case against Germany allege violations of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The convention was drawn up in the wake of the Holocaust to codify a new crime: genocide.A team of independent experts commissioned by the United Nations’ Human Rights Council and the largest professional organization of scholars studying genocide have both concluded that Israel is violating the treaty, but only an international court can make a legal determination.Israel has rejected the accusation of genocide as baseless and accused South Africa of acting as an emissary of Hamas. It says it makes every effort to avoid harming civilians and blames Hamas for their deaths because the terror group’s fighters operate out of densely populated areas.Proceedings at the ICJ can drag on for years. In 2007, the court ruled that Serbia “violated the obligation to prevent genocide” in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, when Bosnian Serb forces rounded up and murdered some 8,000 mostly Muslim men and boys in eastern Bosnia.In May, the court set a November 2027 deadline for South Africa to file its written pleadings and gave Israel until May 2029 to reply. Hearings on the core question of the case — whether Israel committed genocide in Gaza — likely won’t be heard until late 2029 at the earliest.In separate proceedings at the International Criminal Court, also in The Hague, which tries cases against individuals rather than between nations, judges have issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister Yoav Gallant in connection with the conflict.The pair are charged with crimes against humanity, not genocide. The court said it found that there was reason to believe they used “starvation as a method of warfare” by restricting humanitarian aid and intentionally targeted civilians in Israel’s campaign against Hamas in Gaza — charges Israeli officials strongly deny.In response, the United States has issued sanctions against many senior court staff, including nine of the ICC’s 18 judges.
Israel demands Belgium apologize after Gaza aid worker’s possible Hamas link emerges-Brussels had condemned April 2024 strike that killed employee of Belgium agency, who is seen in uniform and described as a ‘mujahid’ in a Hamas-linked channel’s post By Nava Freiberg Today, 5:16 am-SEP 7,26
Israel’s embassy in Belgium on Sunday demanded an apology from Brussels over its condemnation of an IDF strike that killed an employee of the Belgian development agency Enabel in Gaza in April 2024, citing newly surfaced material that it said indicated the worker was in fact a Hamas fighter.The embassy pointed to a post by a channel affiliated with Hamas’s Khan Younis Brigade describing Abdallah Nabhan as a “mujahid” and showing him in uniform.Following the strike, “Belgium summoned Israel’s ambassador, and international condemnation followed,” the embassy wrote on X, saying, “before rushing to condemn Israel, facts matter…A public apology would be preferable, but a private one will also be accepted.”The report has not been independently verified, and there was no immediate response from Belgium.At the time of the strike, Belgium’s development minister said Nabhan, 33, and his seven-year-old son had been killed in eastern Rafah.The embassy’s demand comes as Hamas and other Gaza terror groups have begun identifying slain combatants they had declined to name in recent years — some previously described as journalists or civilians — lending credence in certain cases to Israeli assertions that they were legitimate military targets and prompting a reassessment of previous reports.The Israeli Embassy is owed an apology! In April 2024, Abdallah Nabhan, an employee of Belgium’s development agency Enabel, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza. Belgium summoned Israel’s ambassador, and international condemnation followed.

Army probing apparent ejection of Palestinian from vehicle-Netanyahu orders some West Bank outposts removed, amid US pressure over settler attacks
Not clear when move was ordered or will be carried out; 2 settlers arrested over Qusra violence, as High Court, considering separate attack, says phenomenon violates Israeli, Jewish principles of justice; IDF raids Hamas cell, finds rocket-By Noam Lehmann, Emanuel Fabian, Jeremy Sharon and Agencies Today, 12:17 am-SEP 7,26
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered some illegal outposts in the West Bank dismantled, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich confirmed on Sunday, amid pressure from the US to crack down on violent settlers.According to a Reuters report, Netanyahu ordered the evictions in response to Washington’s pressure. The High Court of Justice on Sunday also assailed the government, Israel Defense Forces, and police for their failure to quell the attacks, though two arrests were made over an incident in the Nablus-area Palestinian town of Qusra.The outposts are considered illegal under Israeli law, as they’re established without all of the necessary permits — however, most of them receive varying degrees of government support and funding, and some have later been formally recognized.The state has from time to time demolished some outposts, but they are often rebuilt immediately after being demolished, and previous government decisions to crack down on the phenomenon have not been widely enforced.The Ynet news site reported that Netanyahu’s order targeted around 100 outposts across the West Bank.Smotrich, asked at a conference in Jerusalem about that report, said Netanyahu had given “an instruction to evict places built in Areas A and B,” referring to parts of the West Bank meant to be under full or partial Palestinian Authority control.The effort to crack down on Area B outposts, however, was reportedly not new, as it was part of a government decision in April, according to the Ma’ariv outlet.In addition to the lack of clarity over when the operation was ordered, it was also not immediately clear when it would begin. The Prime Minister’s Office did not respond to a request for comment on the reports.Two settlers, including soldier, arrested over Qusra attack-In a rare occurrence, two West Bank settlers, including an 18-year-old IDF soldier from the Jordan Valley, were arrested Sunday on suspicion of taking part in an August 29 attack in Qusra.The attack, which occurred weeks into a siege by settlers on several homes in Qusra, saw settlers seize a Palestinian home with a family inside.Officers who searched the car of one of the suspects, a 19-year-old from the northern West Bank, found a knife, a switchblade, and tear gas, according to police.The two suspects were arrested by police in cooperation with the Shin Bet, and the military police also took part in the arrest of the soldier, police said. Both suspects were taken for interrogation and would later be brought before a judge to have their detention extended.Another suspect in the Qusra attack who was arrested on Thursday will also be brought before a judge on Monday to have his detention extended, police said.“The joint investigative team of police and the Shin Bet is continuing efforts to gather evidence and take testimonies to locate and arrest everyone who took part in this serious incident,” police said.The West Bank has seen near-daily incidents of settler violence and harassment in recent months. Arrests are rare, and critics have accused the government of condoning or even encouraging the attacks.High Court: Settler attacks ‘completely unacceptable’The High Court, echoing outrage from others about the phenomenon, lambasted the IDF, Israel Police and Defense Minister Israel Katz on Sunday for failing to tackle the violence.The court was responding to a case brought by residents of three buildings in the West Bank Palestinian village of Jalud. They have petitioned the court to enable them to return safely to their homes, which extremist settlers besieged in July, setting up an illegal outpost and violently expelling them.“This is a completely unacceptable phenomenon that stands in contrast to the basic values and moral principles of the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state, and in contrast to the principles of liberty, fairness, and justice of Jewish heritage and the [biblical] prophets of Israel,” the court said in a decision signed by Supreme Court President Isaac Amit, and Justices Alex Stein and Yechiel Kasher.The justices added that extremist settler violence and the failure to tackle it also harm Israel’s image internationally as a state that respects the rule of law.The court took the IDF and police to task for failing to act effectively to enable the residents to return to their homes in Jalud in safety, and demanded answers to specific and granular questions regarding the case. Those questions included how security forces have worked to prosecute the perpetrators and how they are working to prevent future attacks on Jalud.The court further ordered the IDF and police to enable the residents to return to their homes in safety within 14 days, to provide them with protection when they return, and to enable them to bring in the necessary equipment and materials for fixing the homes and utilities damaged in the attack.The court also issued a conditional order in the case, putting the burden of proof on the IDF and police to actively demonstrate how they are implementing the court’s orders.IDF probing troops who seemed to eject Palestinian from vehicle-The IDF said it was investigating troops who allegedly ejected a Palestinian man out of the back of a military vehicle in the West Bank.Footage Saturday from al-Mughayyir showed an IDF “David” vehicle closing its rear door after the Palestinian man had apparently dropped out of it. The man was seen lying on the ground as the army vehicle drove off.In response to the footage, the army said that “the conduct of the troops toward the suspect and the person recorded in the video is being investigated.”It added that troops were in the village following reports of a suspected explosive device and a stone barrier placed on a road.Troops find rocket amid raid on Hamas cell in Aqqaba-In the village of Aqqaba, meanwhile, a rocket was found by Israeli forces during a raid against a Hamas cell, the police and military said.Officers of the police’s elite Yamam unit and IDF troops had raided the village following intelligence provided by the Shin Bet on a Hamas network in the area.During the raid, the police and military said the Yamam officers and IDF soldiers apprehended 10 Hamas operatives. At one location, the Yamam officers located a rocket without a launcher, the statement said.One of the detained Hamas operatives also led the forces to several more weapons, including an assault rifle and a large amount of explosive material, according to the IDF and police.The suspects were taken for Shin Bet questioning, and the weapons, including the rocket, were destroyed at the scene by police sappers, the statement added.In recent years, there have been several attempts by Palestinian terror groups to develop and launch crude rockets from the West Bank at Israeli settlements and at Israel, though with little to no success.
'All this will do is stoke more division in our community'Rhode Island capital becomes largest US city to vote on anti-Israel divestment
Proposal backed by pro-Palestinian groups in Providence heads to ballot in November, as September 9 Democratic mayoral primary pits pro-Israel incumbent against progressive challenger-By Andrew Lapin 6 September 2026, 3:46 pm
JTA — As pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel progressives in the United States find some success at the 2026 ballot box, the long-gestating Israel divestment campaign is looking to capitalize in Rhode Island.Voters in Providence, the state capital, will vote on a referendum this November saying the city should refrain from investing in “foreign countries conducting ethnic cleansing, apartheid, illegal military occupation, or genocide.”The language of the actual ballot petition does not mention Israel, nor any other country, by name. But the signature campaign was led by Providence for Palestine, a local activist coalition, and both its proponents and opponents have framed the measure as a referendum on Israel and the global Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.With the referendum’s ballot placement secured, Providence has become the largest American municipality ever to place divestment before the voting public.“We’re in this moment when the general public at large, and particularly Democratic voters, very much understand what’s going on in Gaza and Palestine as genocide, as apartheid, and want their leaders to take action on it,” Zack Kligler, a lead organizer of the ballot initiative and member of the Rhode Island chapter of the anti-Zionist group Jewish Voice for Peace, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.Kligler described the current divestment campaign as having “definitely been led disproportionately by Jewish organizers.”To determine which countries are “conducting” any of its list of human rights abuses, the referendum would rely on “resolutions” from various bodies, including the United Nations Security Council, the International Court of Justice and “any” US court ruling or UN body. Some, though not all, of those bodies have reached conclusions that would implicate Israel in the ballot language’s divestment campaign.Both Israel and the Trump administration have strongly rejected all genocide accusations leveled against the country. “Apartheid” can be considered an independent crime under international law, while “ethnic cleansing” has no formal legal definition.Divestment from Israel has seen some success on the municipal level since the bloody October 7, 2023, Hamas-led invasion of southern Israel sparked the war against Hamas and other terror groups in Gaza, which has sunk the country’s popularity across the American electorate. Last year a non-binding divestment resolution in Somerville, Massachusetts, a Boston suburb with less than half of Providence’s population, became the first such initiative to win at the ballot box. Over objections from Jewish groups, the city this summer began exploring the question of how to enact the measure into law.Critics of divestment measures argue that they force local governments to put undue focus on international issues, could prompt division and backlash against local Jewish communities, and jeopardize public pension programs. The Providence campaign’s decision to avoid mentioning Israel in the ballot language sets it apart from similar initiatives, while also neutralizing claims made against other resolutions that such measures unfairly single out Israel.Yet local Jewish groups say the risk to the community remains.“All this will do [is] stoke more division in our community, and potentially make Jewish people here feel more unsafe,” Stephanie Hague, chief strategy officer of the Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island, told JTA.Hague noted that the ballot language, as written, prompts questions about the authority of the international bodies making judgments about what constitutes genocide, ethnic cleansing and other terms in the initiative. She said that the Alliance would campaign against the ballot measure and, if it passes, explore legal options for putting up roadblocks to it.A 2024 proposal to the city council urged Providence, whose approximately 15,000 Jews make up around 7% of the population, not to invest in Israel bonds. The measure failed to make it out of committee. Likewise, the board of Brown University, the Ivy League school located in Providence, voted on a divestment resolution as part of the demands of the school’s pro-Palestinian encampment movement in 2024. It failed.Activists are more confident this time, citing the success in Somerville — where, unlike in Providence, Israel was mentioned by name as the target of the winning ballot measure. Also unlike Somerville, whose measure was non-binding, Providence’s initiative would mandate city action.Supporters also note that Providence joined a 2006 divestment initiative against Sudan to protest ethnic cleansing in Darfur, a divestment campaign that was spearheaded by American Jewish groups.“We’re really proud of the legacy of the American Jewish community and standing up on social issues,” Kligler, who grew up in the Conservative movement, attended a Jewish day school in Brooklyn and has family in Israel, told JTA.Unlike in Pittsburgh, where a similar 2024 initiative was undone before the election following legal challenges to the signatures, the Providence activists were able to collect and verify more than enough signatures to qualify for the ballot. The initiative’s supporters said they had identified around $2.5 million in city funds that would be affected by a divestment order. They cited American companies frequently targeted by pro-Palestinian activists, such as construction equipment manufacturer Caterpillar and weapons firm Axon Enterprise.The city council of Portland, Maine, also passed a divestment proposal in 2024, though that city’s mayor, after initially endorsing the plan, later said he regretted having done so because of the divisiveness it spurred.Some progressive Jewish professionals in Providence say the initiative is in keeping with their values.“I know there are others out there who think that this is a situation where one would need to choose between their Jewish principles and other principles. I don’t perceive it that way,” Lex Rofeberg, senior Jewish educator with the alternative Jewish engagement network Judaism Unbound, told JTA about his support for the ballot campaign.Rofeberg, a Providence resident, said it would be wrong for non-Jews to conclude that “it is a Jewish value to support human rights violations.”“For those who see a ballot initiative that does not name Israel at all, but simply says we should not invest our dollars in atrocities — for people who see that as somehow threatening to Judaism, why would they think that?” he asked.Hague, the Jewish Alliance staffer opposing the initiative, sees just such a threat to Jewish interests. She acknowledged that it can be hard to communicate to non-Jews, who would understandably oppose genocide and apartheid, the ways in which her group sees the BDS movement as “a calling card for antisemitism.”She outlined what she saw as her group’s mission: “We have to do so much education in a short period of time, and helping people understand the Jewish community’s relationship to Israel, and then understanding this initiative’s relationship to the BDS movement and how those things are connected, and the real fear and isolation many Jewish Americans are already feeling, particularly after October 7.”The political environment, though, may be unfriendly to such efforts. Following broader national trends, the city’s Democratic mayoral primary, set for September 9, is also pivoting to a large degree around Israel.Incumbent Mayor Brett Smiley, who converted to Judaism and held a bar mitzvah while in office, is a vocal Israel supporter who opposes the ballot initiative. His progressive challenger, state Rep. David Morales, has backed the ballot initiative.So too have some local elected officials with Jewish heritage. “For any community that we are identified with, and for the sake of our soul and our humanity, we have to be able to say, ‘This is not OK,’” Rachel Miller, city council president, told JTA.Miller, who has a Jewish father and Catholic mother, said she considers herself “culturally” Jewish and objected to the idea that there is a single Jewish voice on the issue. She believes, she said, in “disconnecting the actions of a state against a group of people from my personal Jewish heritage, from my personal Jewish identity.”Even if passed, it’s possible the ballot initiative could run afoul of a statewide ban on working with government contractors who openly boycott Israel — a so-called “anti-BDS law,” one of many such measures enacted in a range of states.Those laws themselves have been debated for years. This fall, a ballot initiative in Oak Park, Illinois, a liberal Chicago suburb, will ask voters to register a formal objection to that state’s anti-boycott law. The initiative, which is opposed by local Jewish groups, survived a legal challenge on Monday.Hague acknowledged current Jewish divisions on Israel, and the difficult political climate for pro-Israel Jewish groups. Facing down a ballot initiative like this, she said, takes work.“I think we know public opinion is not supportive of Israel right now. I think it’s not an issue that people understand implicitly when they just read a ballot question,” she said. “So yes, of course, there’s reason for concern, and I think no matter what happens at the ballot, I still think it’s an important moment.”
Boy in critical condition with rare ‘brain-eating amoeba’ after Sea of Galilee swim-Nine-year-old hospitalized in intensive care unit as Health Ministry identifies infection caused by rare, potentially fatal Naegleria fowleri-By Diana Bletter 6 September 2026, 2:21 pm
A 9-year-old child was hospitalized in serious condition with inflammation of the brain in the intensive care unit at Rambam Health Care Campus in Haifa, the Health Ministry said Sunday, after being infected with a very rare “brain-eating” amoeba, apparently while swimming in the Sea of Galilee.Tests sent to the ministry’s laboratory overnight confirmed that the boy contracted an encephalitis infection from Naegleria fowleri, an amoeba that can be fatal.He was identified in Hebrew media as Baruch Neriya from Pardes Hannah. His family asked that people pray for the recovery of their son. The ministry said he is sedated and intubated at the hospital.An initial epidemiological investigation revealed that the child swam at Kursi Beach on the Sea of Galilee about a week before he was hospitalized.Dr. Danny Eytan, director of the paediatric critical care unit at Rambam, told media the boy had arrived the day before.During tests, “a suspicion arose that it was an amoeba infection,” he said.Eitan said that though the boy is in “very serious condition,” “we hope for the best.”“We are exposed to this amoeba, and in most cases we don’t even know it,” Rotem Lapidot, director of the infectious diseases department at Rambam, told the Ynet news outlet. “In very rare cases it manages to enter the brain and cause a serious infection.”Lapidot said symptoms begin with a high temperature, headaches, vomiting, nausea, and neurological symptoms, usually affecting consciousness.She noted that a fever, headaches, and changes in consciousness are always reasons to seek medical attention.The amoeba causes an extremely rare but highly fatal infection of the central nervous system. Fewer than 500 cases have been reported worldwide, including two in the US over the past year. Israel has seen three recorded cases in recent years.Of the three cases recently in Israel, two ended in death, Ynet reported. In 2022, a 36-year-old man died from the infection, and then in 2024, another man, aged 26, died. Three weeks later, a 10-year-old boy was infected during a family visit to the Sea of Galilee. According to Ynet, after months in hospital, he was moved home but remains in serious condition.Earlier this month a teenager died in North Carolina, and an 8-year-old girl died in Louisiana last month, both from the infection.A North Carolina teenager has died after contracting a rare brain-eating amoeba called Naegleria fowleri that's found in warm freshwater, state health officials said. https://t.co/eaeaPWzY0Y Advertisement — ABC News (@ABC) September 1, 2026-Naegleria fowleri thrives in warm freshwater sources. Infection occurs exclusively when contaminated water enters through the nose, allowing the organism to travel to the brain. It cannot be contracted by drinking water, nor does it spread from person to person.To reduce risk when swimming in warm freshwater, health officials advised keeping water from entering the nose — especially when diving, jumping, or putting one’s head underwater — by holding the nose shut or using nose clips. Swimmers should also avoid stirring up sediment in shallow waters, where concentrations of the amoeba can be higher.
The fighting is winding down. The WHO’s record of it is permanent-A database cited in UN submissions, legal proceedings and academic research is being used to build a case against Israel that the data cannot support-Sep 2, 2026, 9:16 PM
The ceasefire has held, more or less, since October 2025, and at the end of July the next phase was announced. Whatever comes of it, the war is moving out of the field and into the archives. What gets written down now — in UN submissions, in prosecution dossiers, in the academic literature — is largely fixed.Much of it rests on a single database, and Gregory Rose, a professor of law at the University of Wollongong, and I have spent months analyzing it for a report published by the Henry Jackson Society and The Hague Initiative for International Cooperation. We found that the database cannot bear the weight.The World Health Organization’s Surveillance System on Attacks on Health Care, launched in 2017, holds 3,229 records for what it classifies as “Occupied Palestinian Territory”. That figure, or numbers derived from it, appears in special rapporteurs’ statements, in NGO submissions to UN bodies, and in the journals now assembling the case against Israel. It is presented as verified. It is treated as a casualty count. It is neither.Start with the container. The WHO folds East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza into one reporting unit. A checkpoint delay in Jerusalem, an ambulance search near Jenin, and an airstrike in Khan Younis all land in the same bucket and surface as one number. Anyone citing “over three thousand attacks on health care in the Palestinian territories” is describing a war in Gaza using a figure substantially composed of events that happened somewhere else.How much of it? By our analysis, 38.6 percent of the events in that bucket occurred during periods when there was no armed conflict at all. Under international law, an “attack” is an act of violence connected to an armed conflict. For nearly four in ten of these records, the precondition for the word “attack” is simply absent.The word is doing other work it cannot support. The WHO defines an attack as any act of verbal or physical violence, threat of violence, psychological violence, or obstruction interfering with health services. This includes insults, arrests, detentions and searches. By the WHO’s own written methodology, a doctor who arrives late for a shift after a checkpoint delay is an “attack on health care.” So is an ambulance searched for weapons, a practice the Red Cross accepts as lawful and one Israel has obvious cause to maintain.The consequence shows up in the severity data. We classified as “severe” those events involving heavy-weapons violence with no recorded militarization of the facility. In the WHO’s Palestinian bucket, 26.1 percent clear that bar; in Ukraine, 88.6 percent do. Only 6.3 percent of the Palestinian records involve a death, against 42.1 percent in Somalia and 45.5 percent in South Sudan.Then there is the question the methodology does not ask. Under the Geneva Conventions, a hospital forfeits its protected status when used to commit acts harmful to the enemy — as a command post, a weapons store, a tunnel access. The WHO records “militarization” as an event category, yet publishes nothing indicating that such a facility is treated differently from a protected one. The database appears to hold 112 events for Gaza between November 11 and 24, 2023, when the IDF surrounded Al-Shifa and searched it after three days of failed evacuation talks. An operation conducted because a hospital had lost its protection sits in the same ledger as an attack on one that had not.Nor does the WHO verify what it publishes. Staff score their confidence that an event occurred; they do not check reported deaths and injuries against death certificates or medical records, and they do not determine responsibility. One record that appears to correspond to the killing of a Médecins Sans Frontières physiotherapist — whom Israel identified as a member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad — reports six killed and six injured as an attack on health care, with no public evidence the others were medical personnel.And consider the entry at the top of the entire global dataset. The deadliest event the WHO has recorded anywhere, in any conflict, is the explosion at Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in October 2023 — blamed on Israel within hours, then traced by forensic analysis to a rocket that misfired on launch inside Gaza. The record stands as first entered. Israel cannot contest it. No state can.Which brings us to who is filing. The WHO relies on country offices and pre-identified local partners. In Gaza, the health ministry answers to Hamas. A health worker who reported the terror group’s use of a hospital would lose his job at best; that same worker has every reason to report Israeli conduct in detail. When we tried to match a random sample of records against public sources, we could not verify more than 90 percent.None of this means violence against health care in Gaza did not occur, or that it does not deserve documentation. It did, and it does. Our point is narrower: a dataset assembled this way cannot support the comparisons, the attributions, and the legal conclusions now being built on it.There is a moment to press this. Nominations for the next WHO director-general close on September 24, with the appointment due in May 2027. The organization should be asked for neutral terminology in place of “attack”; a prominent statement that its data supports neither cross-country comparison nor findings of legal responsibility; verification of reported deaths and injuries; and a public right of reply for the states these records describe.The war is passing into history. The record of it should be one that can survive examination.
7 said killed as Israel strikes south Lebanon after Hezbollah drones target troops-IDF bombs disused hospital building it says Hezbollah turned into command center, after attack on troops in Ali Taher Ridge area-By Emanuel Fabian and Agencies 6 September 2026, 1:47 pmUpdated at 7:21 pm
Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon on Sunday killed seven people and wounded 20 others, according to Lebanese authorities, after Hezbollah launched two explosive drones at Israeli troops operating in the area.The Israel Defense Forces said one of the drones, which targeted troops operating in the Ali Taher Ridge area, was shot down by troops and that no soldiers were injured in the attack.The IDF called the drone attack a “blatant violation” of the ceasefire and said it struck Hezbollah infrastructure and operatives in response.Lebanon’s Health Ministry said two people were killed and two wounded in Nabatieh al-Fawqa on Sunday morning, while two women were killed and six people wounded in nearby Arab Salim.Eight people were wounded in the city of Nabatieh and four in Kafr Rumman, with the ministry saying the toll was provisional and included several women and three children.Lebanese media reported that one of the Israeli strikes destroyed Ghandour Hospital in Nabatieh al-Fawqa. The facility was empty of patients and staff, and according to the state-run National News Agency, it had been out of service for years.The Israeli military said Hezbollah had been using the hospital as a command center. The military also said that it had hit a weapon depots and other buildings used by Hezbollah to advance attacks.The IDF said that recently, Hezbollah operatives involved in “artillery and surveillance” had been operating from the command center at the hospital compound. All of the strikes were carried out to “remove threats,” the military added.On Sunday evening, Lebanese media reported three dead in an additional Israeli strike in the Nabatieh area.The IDF did not immediately comment on the strike.Ahead of the strikes, the military issued an “urgent warning” to residents near a building in Arab Salim that it said was used by Hezbollah, ordering people to move at least 300 meters away ahead of an airstrike.The warning was the first of its kind in Lebanon in several weeks and came, the IDF said, in response to Hezbollah launching an “explosive-laden drone toward IDF troops.”Lebanon’s National News Agency said that after the warning was issued, Israeli warplanes “launched a strike on another house, destroying it” and killing the two women.The NNA also reported that a heavy strike in Nabatieh hit a historic building and damaged offices belonging to Lebanon’s finance and agriculture authorities, as well as nearby shops and cafes. It separately reported a strike on a motorcycle in the area.Hezbollah did not immediately comment on Sunday’s drone attack.Last week the IDF said troops had finished clearing a Hezbollah underground facility beneath the Ali Taher Ridge after establishing “operational control” of the area above and below ground, including two tunnel routes.The IDF described the facility as a “strategic infrastructure that was built over two decades,” which it said was financed and planned by Iran.Also last week, Defense Minister Israel Katz said that Israel would not withdraw from its southern Lebanon security zone until Hezbollah had been disarmed throughout the country. Hezbollah has not commented on the IDF’s announcement or confirmed that Israeli forces captured the site.“The capture of Ali Taher is an important step toward achieving this goal,” added Katz, saying the operation “marks the completion of the phase of establishing control over the security zone in southern Lebanon.”Israeli forces remain deployed inside what Israel describes as a “security zone” extending roughly 10 kilometers (6 miles) into southern Lebanon along the border.Israel and Lebanon signed a US-brokered framework agreement on June 26 aimed at paving the way toward an eventual peace deal. Israel agreed to withdraw from two small areas beyond its original security zone, with Lebanese troops taking over, while Israeli officials said further withdrawals would depend on measurable progress by the Lebanese army in disarming Hezbollah.As part of the US-brokered talks, Israel last week released five Lebanese civilian detainees after Beirut assisted efforts to locate and return the remains of members of Lebanon’s Jewish community who were abducted and murdered by Shiite terror groups in the 1980s. The Prime Minister’s Office said the five had been questioned and found not to be members of terrorist organizations or involved in terrorism.
Spanish far-right activists use Nazi-style salutes in anti-migrant protests-Dozens of Núcleo Nacional members in Madrid participate in mass demonstrations over influx of 72,000 illegal infiltrators into enclave of Ceuta in late July-By Shira Li Bartov 6 September 2026, 4:36 am
MADRID (JTA) — Dozens of far-right activists raised their arms in Nazi-style salutes and sang a Spanish fascist anthem in the heart of Madrid on Wednesday, amid protests against the government’s handling of migration.Between 60 and 70 members of Núcleo Nacional, an ultra-nationalist anti-immigrant group, participated in Madrid during mass demonstrations across Spain, a spokesperson for the group told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. The protests were in response to an influx of migrants from Morocco into Ceuta, a Spanish territory in North Africa.The broader demonstrations in Madrid were called by Spain’s conservative People’s Party and far-right Vox party, drawing about 50,000 people to the streets, according to government estimates. The protests were planned for Ceuta Day, a holiday marking the Portuguese conquest of Ceuta from the Marinid Sultanate of Morocco in the 15th century, beginning centuries of Portuguese and later Spanish rule.Núcleo Nacional activists were shown on video making the outstretched-arm gesture associated with neo-Nazi movements and chanting, “Ceuta is not for sale, Ceuta will defend itself.” They also sang the song “Cara al Sol,” a fascist anthem from 1935 that became central to the regime of former Spanish dictator Francisco Franco, who ruled from 1939 to 1975. Núcleo Nacional denied a link between their gesture and Nazi history.The demonstration ended in clashes between protesters and police, with four people arrested and four police officers injured, according to local authorities. Protesters were also shown on camera grabbing, pushing and cursing at multiple journalists who were covering the rally.Francisco Martín Aguirre, the delegate of the Spanish government in Madrid, condemned “the violent acts that occurred at the end of the gatherings in Madrid.”“All respect to those who legitimately and peacefully protest for the cause they deem fit,” he said on X. “Violence is never the way and those who daily incite it are also responsible.”A spokesperson for Núcleo Nacional told JTA that the group was not performing a Nazi salute, but an “Iberian or Roman salute.”“It represents our ancestors,” the spokesperson said. They added that the group was protesting to “support the people of Ceuta.”The outstretched arm salute in Nazi Germany was inspired by a gesture popularized in the 1920s in Italy’s fascist movement, which later allied with the Nazis. The Italians called it a Roman salute, though researchers say there is no evidence linking it to ancient Rome. Franco also instituted the gesture in 1937, then instructed Spaniards to abandon it in 1945 after the Axis powers lost World War II.More than 72,000 Moroccan migrants crossed into Ceuta between July 30 and July 31, with at least 100 people dying in the attempt. Most have returned to Morocco, but some 5,000 remain in makeshift shelters or on the streets and beaches, inflaming tensions between migrants and local residents and heaping pressure on the left-wing government of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.Núcleo Nacional has about 2,000 members, many from neo-Nazi and Francoist groups that lost their capacity to mobilize, according to the Global Network on Extremism and Technology. The group has grown rapidly and opened four regional branches since its founding in 2024. Earlier this year, it registered a political party as Noviembre Nacional.‼ En directo: grupo ultra núcleo nacional, en el Congreso, haciendo el símbolo nazi y cantando "cara al sol". ????

Núcleo Nacional said in a 2024 statement, “Any Spanish patriot should not forget that it is Israel that is financing the Maghrebi invasion to which all of Europe is being subjected.”On Núcleo Nacional’s social media channels, it has claimed that it is targeted by “the Jewish-Zionist lobby in Spain” and accused the “international Jewish-American financial elite” of “buying up Spain at bargain prices while ruining us.”
Over 60 killed in Yemen as Houthis battle Saudi-backed forces near Red Sea gateway-Death toll includes 6 civilians on bus reportedly struck by Iran-backed terror group; Saudi jets target rebel positions as government forces seen heading to front lines-By AFP 5 September 2026, 7:57 pm
ḨAYS, Yemen — Fighting between Yemen’s Saudi-backed government forces and the country’s Houthi rebels killed more than 60 people on Saturday, including civilians, medical and military sources told AFP.The renewed clashes in Yemen’s southwest over control of a gateway to the Red Sea came after Friday saw some of the deadliest fighting in years, following the collapse in July of a 2022 ceasefire.According to three Yemeni military sources, 26 government troops were killed during several hours of fighting in the country’s southwest, while medical and military sources from the Iran-backed Houthis said 31 rebel fighters were killed.One medical source in the government-held city of Taiz said a missile strike also killed six civilians travelling by bus and wounded seven others.A government official blamed the strike on the bus, travelling between Taiz and the seat of Yemen’s internationally recognized government in Aden, on the Houthis.In Taiz, a military officer said the “coming hours will be decisive” after the Houthis seized positions near the city a day earlier.The officer added that reinforcements had been arriving from Aden in response to the Houthi offensive, which aims to cut off the government-held port city of Mokha, under fire for weeks, and advance towards areas bordering the Bab al-Mandab strait.In Hays district, 68 kilometers northwest of Taiz towards the Red Sea coast, AFP journalists saw government forces being ferried to the front lines in pickup trucks, some carrying assault rifles and others with rocket-propelled grenades slung over their shoulders.Rashed Maghari, a Hays resident, said “there has been heavy Houthi shelling on Hays and its residents, but the district is tough” and will be hard to capture.On Friday, the fighting in Yemen killed 129 people, according to an AFP tally compiled from several sources.With Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz to commercial ships, the Bab al-Mandab chokepoint has gained importance as a transit route for oil from Saudi Arabia, the world’s biggest exporter of crude.A military official told AFP on Saturday that three airstrikes by Saudi Arabia, a key backer of the government in Aden, had targeted positions recently captured by the Houthis in Taiz.In July, a fragile truce between the Houthis and Yemen’s government fell apart after the rebels welcomed an Iranian plane to the capital Sanaa, setting off a spate of attacks.The fighting between the Iran-backed Houthis and government troops supported by US ally Saudi Arabia signals the emergence of a new front in the wider Middle East war, which broke out in late February with US-Israeli strikes on Iran.The Houthis have also announced a maritime blockade of Saudi Arabia and have begun targeting its ships and territory.
Putin orders 72-hour pause in Kyiv strikes as Ukraine agrees to halt attacks on Moscow-Zelensky says reciprocal restraint will last through Monday, as Witkoff and Kushner meet Putin before first visit to Kyiv; Russian strikes in Ukraine kill 5-By AP and ToI Staff 5 September 2026, 7:57 pm
Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a 72-hour pause in strikes on Kyiv, the Kremlin said Saturday, with Ukraine saying it would reciprocate by refraining from attacks on Moscow as US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived for talks aimed at reviving stalled efforts to end the war.“Putin has ordered that no strikes be carried out against Kyiv for three days, starting at midnight today,” presidential spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told Russia’s Tass news agency. He said the decision was tied to preparations for Witkoff and Kushner’s planned visit to the Ukrainian capital, which Kyiv has said will take place on Sunday.Peskov also confirmed that Kushner and Witkoff would meet Putin during their visit, but said there was “no talk of new ideas” to end the conflict.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said later Saturday that he had spoken with the US envoys and that Kyiv was prepared to reciprocate by halting strikes on Moscow while the diplomatic talks were underway.“From the moment of this conversation, we are ready to observe a ceasefire in airstrikes against the cities involved in the negotiation process,” Zelensky wrote on X. “From now through the end of Saturday, as well as on Sunday and Monday, Ukraine is ready to refrain from strikes on Moscow, and we expect the Russians to do the same regarding Kyiv.”Zelensky said plans for Witkoff and Kushner’s visit to Kyiv on Sunday had been approved and that Ukrainian officials were awaiting their arrival for what he described as a “substantive conversation.” He said the two US envoys had already begun working with the Russian side in Moscow.I have just spoken with the U.S. President’s envoys. They have already begun working with the Russian side today. From the moment of this conversation, we are ready to observe a ceasefire in airstrikes against the cities involved in the negotiation process. From now through the… — Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) September 5, 2026-The envoys’ trip comes as both sides escalate aerial attacks, some four and a half years after the Kremlin’s invasion of its neighbor. Zelensky had already said Friday that Ukraine would halt airstrikes during the envoys’ visit and urged Moscow to do the same.Washington’s push to end the fighting, now in its fifth year, has lost momentum as US attention has been focused for the past six months on its war with Iran. The last known visit to Moscow by Witkoff and Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, was in January, when they met Putin in the Kremlin. They have never previously visited Kyiv.The envoys were met at the airport in Moscow by Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev, Tass reported. Dmitriev shared photos of him meeting the US delegation as they disembarked, alongside the caption, “Welcome to Moscow Peacemakers.”With peace efforts stalled, Russia has intensified its attacks on Kyiv and other cities with relentless bombardments recently stretching into daylight hours, taking advantage of Ukraine’s shortage of air defense systems.Welcome to Moscow Peacemakers @SteveWitkoff and @jaredkushner! ????️https://t.co/RAQt2CebVh pic.twitter.com/nrzs3mGnGw — Kirill Dmitriev (@kadmitriev) September 5, 2026-On Friday, a Russian drone hit one of the most important government buildings in Kyiv — the headquarters of Ukraine’s Security Service, known as the SBU, which is one of the agencies involved in carrying out deep-strike operations inside Russia.The long-range strikes by Ukraine have hit Russian military facilities, oil refineries and e-commerce hubs, seeking to undermine the Kremlin’s war effort and economy, as well as make ordinary citizens feel the consequences of the war.Zelensky links Russian strikes to envoys’ visit-The air war between Russia and Ukraine has intensified as troops have struggled to make progress along the 1,250-kilometer (775-mile) front line.In a social media post on Saturday, Zelensky said that Russia had carried out overnight strikes on Kyiv and Boryspil international airports, and linked the attack to the planned US visit.“Clearly, these Russian strikes on the airports are a reaction to the discussions and preparations for the possibility of the US side using an aircraft to travel to Ukraine,” he said.Last night, the Russians struck a civilian enterprise in Kamianske, in the Dnipro region, killing four people and injuring five others.

He described those killed as employees at the site. “A locksmith, an electrician, a plumber and a machinist. People of peaceful professions. They were simply working their shift. They were doing their job when enemy missiles cut off their lives,” he said.A 62-year-old man was wounded, and several homes and an apartment building were damaged in a separate attack on the region’s Nikopol district, Hanzha said.In a statement Saturday, Russia’s Ministry of Defense said it had carried out strikes on two metallurgical plants in the region, describing them as “major suppliers of metal products for Ukraine’s military production.”A further two people were wounded in an overnight Russian attack on Ukraine’s Kyiv region, said Tymur Tkachenko, head of the regional military administration. In the Boryspil district, a fire sparked by a strike partially destroyed a nine-story residential building.Russian forces also repeatedly struck a shopping center in the southern Mykolaiv region with drones overnight, damaging retail premises and sparking fires, Ukraine’s state emergency services said. A 72-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl were hurt.Emergency crews responding to the incident were repeatedly forced to withdraw to safety because of the threat of further strikes, returning whenever conditions allowed, the emergency services said.Russia launched ballistic missiles from its Rostov and Voronezh regions and deployed 167 attack drones overnight, Ukraine’s air force said. The drones included Shahed-type aircraft — around half of them jet-powered — as well as Geran and decoy drones. Ukrainian air defenses shot down or suppressed 128 drones, according to the air force.Elsewhere, Ukrainian attacks wounded three people, including a 14-year-old girl, in Russia’s border region of Belgorod, local officials said.In a statement, Russia’s Ministry of Defense said that its forces had shot down 53 Ukrainian drones overnight.Times of Israel staff contributed to this article

8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
LUKE 21:25-26
25 And there shall be signs in the sun,(HEATING UP-SOLAR ECLIPSES) and in the moon,(MAN ON THE MOON-LUNAR ECLIPSES) and in the stars;(ASTEROIDS-PROPHECY SIGNS) and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity;(MASS CONFUSION) the sea and the waves roaring;(FIERCE WINDS)

FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS
REVELATION 8:7
7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
JAMES 1:11
11 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
The Hebrew noun accurately translated “oven” refers to a “baking oven” as distinct from a kiln or smelting furnace—both of which burn much hotter. (The Hebrew nouns for “kiln” or for “smelting furnace” are more likely to appear in contexts of God's wrath or judgment.)
21 They have roused me to jealousy with a non-god, they have exasperated me with their idols. In my turn I shall rouse them to jealousy with a non-people, I shall exasperate them with a stupid nation.
22 Yes, a fire has blazed from my anger, it will burn right down to the depths of Sheol; it will devour the earth and all its produce, it will set fire to the footings of the mountains.
23 I shall hurl disasters on them, on them I shall use up all my arrows.
Ephesians 2:2
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air,(LIBERAL GODLESS AIR WAVES) the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:(GODLESS)
2 Peter 3:6-7 Amplified Bible (AMP) (HOT SUN, NUKES ETC)
6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.
7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
Daniel chapter 10 provides us with a particularly fascinating incident from the life of the prophet Daniel. The incident has to do with answers to prayer and why those answers sometimes get delayed. In Daniel’s case, his answer was delayed for three full weeks.
12 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day (3 WEEKS EARLIER) that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.(THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE MICHAEL THE ARCH ANGEL ISRAELS WAR ANGEL OF PROTECTION.) THAT CAME TO DANIEL.
13 But the prince (TERRITORIAL DEMON OVER IRAN) of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days:(3 WEEKS) but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
14 Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.(THE POINT HERE IS THAT SAME TERRITORIAL DEMON THAT STOPPED DANIELS PRAYER FROM BEING ANSWERED FOR 3 WEEKS-IS STILL OVER IRANS TERRITORY THAT LEADS THE LEADERS OF IRAN). THATS WHY IRAN WILL NEVER STOP MAKING NUKES TILL ISRAEL IS OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH. WITH THIS TERRITORIAL DEMON CONTROLLING THE MINDS OF KHAMENEI AND THE LEADERS IN IRAN.
Industrial zones, built up areas, suffer most heat in Gush Dan — study-Heat in built-up parts of Tel Aviv metropolis, including Bnei Brak, Ramat Gan, Bat Yam, Holon, and Rehovot, can be 4°C higher than in open areas in summer, 9°C higher in winter-By Sue Surkes Today, 12:35 am-SEP 7,26
Temperatures in built-up areas of the Tel Aviv metropolitan area can reach up to 4°C (7.2°F) higher than in surrounding open areas in summer, and up to 9°C in winter, according to new research on so-called urban heat islands, an issue of growing concern for planners in an era of global warming.The study, led by Prof. Oded Potchter of the central Holon Institute of Technology along with Tel Aviv University scientists Moshe Mandelmilch, Amit Goldberg and Prof. Yitzhak Omer, reveals microclimatic variations between specific parts of the metropolis and its greener hinterland, depending on the season, the time of day, and the type of urban landscape.Differences in air temperatures where humans walk—the space between the ground and tree canopies—vary more in the summer (up to 4°C) than in winter (up to 2°C, or 3.6°F).However, when looking at heat trapped on the surface of the ground, the reverse happens: surface temperature variations between the city and the countryside are more significant in winter (up to 9°C, or 16.2°F) than in summer (up to 4°C).This happens because winter weather suppresses strong daytime heat accumulation, while clear or breezy winter nights allow rural ground to radiate heat away and cool rapidly compared to the city.The most heat-retentive places are industrial areas, compact mid-rise residential neighborhoods like those in south Tel Aviv, and cities such as Bnei Brak, Ramat Gan, Bat Yam, Holon, and Rehovot, the study revealed. There, dense construction and a lack of cooling vegetation combine with dark, impervious surfaces that absorb and retain massive amounts of solar radiation rather than reflecting it.The differences were smaller when green areas were compared with the northern part of the metropolis, which is characterized by lower-density populations and more open construction.The intensity of heat islands was also found to shift position,Under the influence of the Mediterranean Sea breeze and local wind patterns, the heat moves eastward during daylight hours before drifting back westward toward the coast at night, regardless of the season.With about 60% of its population living in urban areas, the Mediterranean is among the world’s most densely urbanized regions.Israel stands out as one of the most urbanized countries in the Mediterranean Basin, with 93% of its population living in cities, according to World Group data from 2023, published this year. The UN classifies Israel as a climate hotspot because temperatures are rising faster than the global average as a result of climate change.The study, based on data from satellites, fixed meteorological stations, and infrared measurements, was published this month in the journal Urban Climate.
Rescuers in Nepal pull 2 people alive from the debris 10 days after devastating floods-Chinese man and a woman found in separate operations, day after 2 Nepalese hydropower workers were found, but thousands are still missing-By AP 5 September 2026, 2:14 pm
KATHMANDU, Nepal — Rescuers in Nepal pulled out a Chinese man and a woman in separate operations Saturday, 10 days after devastating floods hit the country, as teams continued searching for thousands of people still missing.The man was rescued from a hydropower tunnel, according to a social media post by the country’s prime minister’s office, bringing the total to three workers pulled alive from the Trishuli hydropower project. Two Nepalese workers were rescued on Friday.Nepal’s army said a joint rescue team of Nepalese military personnel and South Korean disaster experts rescued the man from a 225-meter (about 740-foot) tunnel and that he was undergoing a health assessment. Images showed him being evacuated by helicopter, with an army medic checking on him during the flight.A photo released by Chinese state broadcaster CCTV showed two rescuers carrying the man out of the tunnel.Rescue efforts have increasingly focused on 12 hydropower projects across Nepal, where about 900 workers are missing and roughly 500 are believed to be trapped in various tunnels, authorities said. Specialized rescue teams from India, China, South Korea and the United States have been searching through debris, damaged structures and tunnels at the projects, hoping to find survivors.In flood-hit Nuwakot town, a woman was rescued alive from a house, Nepal’s army spokesperson said Saturday. Officials said she was being airlifted to Kathmandu for treatment.Images released by Nepal’s army showed rescuers finding the woman covered in mud inside the damaged house. They gave her bottled water before pulling her to safety, wrapped in a gray blanket.At least 1,287 people were killed in the Aug. 26 floods, likely caused by a glacier collapse, and more than 5,000 remain missing, according to Nepal’s disaster management agency.China said Friday 31 people were killed and 531 were missing on the Tibet side of the border, according to Chinese official news agency Xinhua.Nepal’s disaster agency estimated Friday that flooding caused at least 387.5 billion Nepalese rupees ($2.5 billion) in damage to infrastructure and property.
Nepal floods: Death toll surges to 1,355 as rescue efforts continue; nearly 5,000 still missing-Rescue teams continued to search for 4,996 people, including at least 589 foreign nationals, who remain missing, while 13,396 people have been rescued so far.Nepal on Monday observed a national day of mourning on the 13th day of the disaster, as the government declared September 7 a national day of mourning to honour the victims of the catastrophic floods.07 Sep 2026, 7:10 am
KATHMANDU: The death toll from the devastating flash floods in Nepal surged to 1,355 on Monday as more bodies were recovered from the affected areas, authorities said.Rescue teams continued to search for 4,996 people, including at least 589 foreign nationals, who remain missing, while 13,396 people have been rescued so far, Nepal's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA) said.The flash floods, triggered by an ice-rock avalanche near the Nepal-Tibet border on August 26, devastated towns and villages in northern and central Nepal.The Bhotekoshi River, which flows south from the Himalayan border region, carried the floodwaters downstream, sweeping away homes, vehicles, roads and bridges and damaging hydropower projects.The disaster also killed at least 43 people on the Chinese side, while more than 500 people remain missing in Tibet, according to Chinese media reports.In Nepal, 363 bodies have been recovered in Chitwan district, 222 in Nawalparasi East, 221 in Nawalparasi West, 197 in Nuwakot, 169 in Rasuwa, 75 in Gorkha, 70 in Dhading and 38 in Tanahu, according to NDRRMA.Identification of bodies has emerged as a massive challenge.Only 98 bodies were identified as of Monday, and handed over to the families, according to NDRRMA.Most bodies recovered after being swept downstream severely damaged, decomposed or recovered only in parts.Police have said that bodies carried far from the disaster sites and those that remained in water and mud have made identification particularly difficult.Nepal Police has been collecting DNA samples from relatives of missing people to help identify unclaimed bodies and human remains recovered after the floods.The Embassy of India, Kathmandu, expresses its deepest condolences on the loss of precious lives and the devastation caused by the flash flood in Nepal on 26 August, which affected people from Nepal as well as citizens from various countries including India, on this day of… — IndiaInNepal (@IndiaInNepal) September 7, 2026-More than 1,000 unidentified bodies have been buried after DNA samples were Large crowds continued to gather at medical facilities, carrying photographs of missing relatives and scrutinising images of the dead displayed on the walls.Nepal on Monday observed a national day of mourning on the 13th day of the disaster, as the government declared September 7 a national day of mourning to honour the victims of the catastrophic floods.The mourning was observed in keeping with the traditional Hindu practice of marking the 13th day following a death."Our thoughts are with the bereaved families and all those affected. India stands with Nepal in this difficult time and will continue to support Nepal's efforts towards search, rescue and relief," the Indian Embassy in Nepal said in a post on X.Major rescue operations are underway at hydropower projects in flood-affected districts, where hundreds of men are believed to be trapped in tunnels.Teams of experts from India and China are assisting their Nepali counterparts in these operations.Australian tunnel expert Arnold Dix, who helped rescue 41 workers from India's Silkyara tunnel in 2023, is also assisting in the search for people believed to be trapped inside the Chilime hydropower project tunnel.Nepal on Monday observed a national day of mourning on the 13th day of the disaster, as the government declared September 7 a national day of mourning to honour the victims of the catastrophic floods.Nepal rescuers continue search for missing as identification of dead remains Challenge- Meanwhile, Nepal has stepped up efforts to reassure international tourists that the country remains open for travel, as it seeks to prevent the recent flash floods from derailing its crucial autumn tourism season and undoing a fragile recovery in the sector.Tourism Minister Khadak Raj Poudel has launched a social media campaign under the hashtag "Nepal Calling", telling foreign tourists that the country remains open and its Himalayan trekking routes are ready to receive visitors."Nepal is still open. Our Himalayan trekking routes are still waiting for you," he said in a video message posted on social media.Tourism contributes about 6.7 per cent to Nepal's GDP directly and indirectly and provides more than one million jobs.Fall in the number of foreign tourist arrivals could have a wider economic impact, affecting hotels, trekking agencies, guides, porters, airlines, restaurants and transport operators.
