Dozens of Yidden gathered to demonstrate at a building site in Yehud, a city in central Israel, asserting that the land under development may be the location of an ancient bais hakevaros.
Video footage from the scene captured several chareidi men sprawled on the ground within the work zone, symbolically pouring dirt into sections of the site that had already been dug up as a show of opposition.
On Tuesday, Border Police forces responded by forcibly removing the demonstrators from the premises.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Drones have harassed airports and bedeviled local police.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has revised its guidelines, announcing that it will no longer advise healthy children or pregnant women to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. The decision was made public by the Trump administration on Tuesday.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. criticized the prior administration’s approach, stating in a video message, “Last year, the Biden administration urged healthy children to get yet another COVID shot despite the lack of any critical data to support the repeat booster strategy in children.”
Echoing that sentiment, FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary remarked, “There’s no evidence that healthy kids need it today and most countries have stopped recommending it for children.”

Israel’s establishment of humanitarian aid hubs is being seen as a pivotal moment in the unraveling of Hamas’s dominance in Gaza, according to an Israeli official who spoke with The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday. The IDF has unveiled two major food distribution centers, which are intended to provide sustenance for as many as 600,000 Palestinians within a week.
These aid centers are positioned at Tel Sultan, located deep in the southern Gaza area of Rafah, and at the Morag Corridor, slightly to the north of Rafah.

Freed Israeli hostage Omer Wenkert recounted the horrific abuse he endured while imprisoned in Hamas’s underground tunnels, describing a brutal deterioration in his treatment that coincided with Israel’s military operation in Rafah during May 2024.
“They deliberately deprived me of food,” Wenkert said while speaking at the Bar Association conference, recalling a period of two to three weeks during which he survived on just half a pita a day.
He described the conditions as especially cruel around the time the IDF advanced toward Rafah. “There was purposeful starvation, and calculated torment,” he said. “They put me in situations that seriously threatened my life — and did it just for amusement.”

Since the onset of the war, the United States has sent a massive quantity of military support to Israel, amounting to more than 90,000 tons of weaponry and defense supplies, according to an announcement from Israel’s Defense Ministry.
The ministry reported that today saw the arrival of the 800th cargo aircraft involved in this ongoing operation.
According to the ministry’s statement, the shipments to date have included “armored vehicles, munitions, ammunition, personal protection gear, and medical equipment.”
These deliveries, the ministry emphasized, are “a significant component” in enabling the Israel Defense Forces to sustain combat activities, “both for achieving the war objectives and for improving readiness and stockpiles.”

The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a strong statement on Tuesday criticizing National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s appearance this week on the Har Habayis.
Ben Gvir is known for regularly visiting Har Habayis. His most recent visit, which took place on Monday, was to commemorate Yom Yerushalayim—the day Israel reclaimed ancient Jewish areas in Yerushalayim, Yehudah, and Shomron after being attacked by surrounding Arab countries during the Six Day War.
