Sources in the Shin Bet and the defense establishment believe that the steep decline in the number of terror attacks in Yehuda and Shomron in recent months stems from a combination of National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s prison reform and targeted operations in the field, Artuz Sheva reported last week. According to the sources, after entering his position, Ben-Gvir spearheaded a fundamental change in terrorists’  prison conditions, which has led to a reduction in Palestinians’ motivation to carry out terrorist acts. “The terrorists understand that the picnic is over,” the sources told Arutz Sheva.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei launched another vicious verbal assault against Israel on Saturday, calling the Jewish state “a dangerous, deadly cancerous tumor in the region” that “must be uprooted [and] will be uprooted.” Speaking at a public event in Tehran, Khamenei accused Israel of being “the source of corruption, the source of war, and the source of discord” in the Middle East, according to Iran’s state news agency IRNA. The Iranian dictator also turned his ire toward U.S. President Donald Trump and his recent diplomatic visit to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. Khamenei called the visit “a disgrace to the American nation.” “Trump said he wanted to use power for peace; he lied,” Khamenei declared.

The Arab who spat on a female IDF officer on a bus in Ramat Gan turned himself to the Palestinian Authority’s security forces on Sunday evening. He turned himself in after realizing he was being pursued by Israeli security forces. The Arab had entered Israel illegally. Earlier in the day, Ramat Gan Mayor Carmel Shama Hacohen offered an NIS 18,000 reward for anyone who could provide information on the identity of the suspect. Israel is putting pressure on the Palestinian Authority to hand him over to Israeli security forces. Defense  Minister Yisrael Katz said, “The despicable terrorist who attacked and spat on the IDF officer in uniform must be punished to the fullest extent of the law. We will not allow harm to our soldiers.

A shocking broad-daylight robbery shook Boro Park on Friday afternoon when four Hispanic males violently attacked a man near Fort Hamilton Parkway and 56th Street, snatching a gold necklace off his neck before fleeing the scene. The brazen assault occurred in full view of bystanders, prompting a swift response from Boro Park Shomrim after a resident urgently phoned in the incident. Within moments, multiple Shomrim volunteers were deployed, while the organization’s tech team sprang into action, scouring area surveillance footage for any leads. Thanks to the rapid coordination, volunteers obtained a clear description of the suspects. Just blocks away, on 54th Street between 11th and 12th Avenues, a sharp-eyed Shomrim volunteer spotted one of the assailants.

U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff said on Sunday that the Trump administration has drawn a firm red line in ongoing nuclear negotiations with Iran: zero tolerance for uranium enrichment. “We have one very, very clear red line, and that is enrichment. We cannot allow even 1% of an enrichment capability,” Witkoff said in an appearance on ABC’s This Week. “Everything begins with a deal that does not include enrichment… because enrichment enables weaponization, and we will not allow a bomb to get here.” The comments mark a notable hardening of the U.S. position. Earlier this year, Witkoff had floated the possibility of permitting Iran to retain a limited enrichment capability under strict oversight. Now, that window appears shut.

Former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer, according to a statement from his personal office Sunday, and it has spread to his bones. “Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” the statement said. It continued, “While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management.” Biden and his family “are reviewing treatment options with his physicians,” the statement said.

The IDF has released documents claiming that Palestinian journalist Hassan Eslaiah, killed in a targeted Israeli airstrike on a hospital in southern Gaza on May 13, was a member of Hamas’s military wing. Eslaiah, who was injured in a prior strike on April 7, was accused by the IDF of being part of Hamas’s Khan Younis Brigade and operating “under the guise of a journalist and owner of a press company.” IDF international media spokesman Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani shared on X that documents recovered from Gaza “reveal a list of operatives” in the 3rd Battalion of Hamas’s Khan Yunis Brigade. “Among them, Hassan [Eslaiah], listed by name, military number and unit: the so-called ‘Media Platoon,’” Shoshani stated.

A resident of the central city of Yavne who carried out missions for Iranian terrorist elements was arrested last month, a joint statement from Israel and the Shin Bet announced on Sunday. Moshe Atias, 18, was arrested on suspicion of committing serious security offenses, including collecting intelligence at the cardiology department in a hospital in central Israel while former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett was hospitalized there. The investigation revealed that Atias maintained contact with Iranian terrorist elements and carried out numerous missions for them while fully aware of the potential harm to state security, in exchange for financial compensation.
