Ziv Medical Center in Tzfas reported an incredibly rare occurrence on Monday with the delivery of two sets of triplets within five hours of each other. The first birth took place during a scheduled procedure at 34 weeks of gestation, while the second was conducted as an c-section at just 26 weeks due to early labor. Both mothers delivered two boys and one girl. The newborns’ mothers are residents of northern Israel, one from Tuba-Zangariyye and the other from Kibbutz Machanayim. According to hospital officials, the procedures required extensive coordination and collaboration between multiple departments. Teams included obstetricians, midwives, anesthesiologists, neonatal specialists, NICU staff, and nurses. Hospital Director Prof.

Inflation rose last month to its highest level since February as President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs are pushing up the cost of a range of goods, including furniture, clothing, and large appliances. Consumer prices rose 2.7% in June from a year earlier, the Labor Department said Tuesday, up from an annual increase of 2.4% in May. On a monthly basis, prices climbed 0.3% from May to June, after rising just 0.1% the previous month. Worsening inflation poses a political challenge for President Donald Trump, who promised during last year’s presidential campaign to immediately lower costs. The sharp inflation spike of 2022-2023 was the worst in four decades and soured most Americans on former president Joe Biden’s handling of the economy.

Tesla Inc. opened its first showroom in India on Tuesday, marking the electric vehicle maker’s long-anticipated debut in the world’s third-biggest automotive market. Located in the Bandra-Kurla Complex, an upscale business center in the financial capital Mumbai, the showroom will serve as Tesla’s flagship retail and experience outlet as the company introduces its EV lineup to Indian customers. Tesla’s entry to India comes after years of delays and policy friction, marking a pivotal expansion in a fast-growing consumer base while global sales are plunging and the company faces challenges in its two core markets, China and the U.S. Sales of Tesla electric cars fell sharply from April to June as boycotts over Elon Musk’s political views continued keeping buyers away.

Heavy rain swept across parts of the U.S. Northeast on Monday night, inundating sections of New York and New Jersey with flash flooding that stranded vehicles in roadways, closed subway lines and led to a declaration of a state of emergency. Most flash flood watches and warnings expired in parts of New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania as the rain moved on, but some roads and streets were still flooded as of Tuesday morning. New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy declared a state of emergency due to flash flooding and heavy rainfall, advising people to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel. A video posted to social media by CBS showed flood waters bring a major roadway in Scotch Plains, New Jersey, to a standstill, stranding buses.

India’s aviation regulator ordered on Monday airlines operating several Boeing models to examine fuel control switches, days after an investigation into last month’s Air India plane crash found they were flipped off, starving both engines of fuel. India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation stated the directive would apply to Boeing 787 Dreamliners and select Boeing 737 variants and that airlines must complete inspections and submit their findings to the regulator by July 21. A preliminary report into the Air India crash that killed 260 people in the northwestern city of Ahmedabad found that the switches shifted within one second of each other, cutting off fuel supply to both engines. The report, released last week, did not offer any conclusions as to why the plane crashed.

NASA has confirmed that a large asteroid, named 2025 MA90, will pass relatively close to Earth on Tuesday. While its size may sound alarming—estimated at nearly 89 meters in diameter, or, for the creatively inclined, roughly 145 antisemitic Elmos tall—experts say there’s no danger of it hitting the planet. The asteroid was recently discovered by NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), which monitors space rocks that come relatively close to Earth. Although the object’s size could range anywhere from 66 to 150 meters, it will pass at a safe distance of over six million kilometers. To put things in perspective, the last time an asteroid caused real damage was in 2013 over Chelyabinsk, Russia.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yisrael Katz on Tuesday instructed the IDF to immediately strike Syrian regime forces in the Sweida area of southern Syria. The order came after three days of ethnic violence between local Druze in Sweida and Bedouins, during which the Druze were attacked by Syrian regime forces.

The Moetzet Chachmei HaTorah of Shas will convene later this week to discuss the draft law crisis. Kikar HaShabbat has learned that the Moetzet will likely convene on Wednesday or Thursday to discuss the conscription crisis and instruct Shas to withdraw from the government this week. Shas party officials are coordinating a date and time for the meeting. Senior officials in the Chareidi parties told Kikar that it was clarified yesterday that MK Yuli Edelstein, chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Security Committee, delayed the submission of the conscription law text with various excuses but behind the scenes worked to bring a law contrary to the agreements reached before Operation Rising Lion.

Ice cream makers representing about 90% of the U.S. supply of the frozen treat have pledged to remove artificial dyes from their products in less than three years, federal health officials said Monday. The move is the latest voluntary effort by food manufacturers to heed calls from the Trump administration to remove synthetic dyes over concerns about potential health effects. In recent weeks, companies including Nestle, Kraft Heinz and General Mills said they would pull artificial colors from their foods, too. “This is a Renaissance moment for health in America,” U.S. Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary said at a news conference.

Israel Air Force aircraft, guided by military intelligence and Northern Command officials, carried out numerous strikes against Hezbollah terror targets in the Beqaa Valley in eastern Lebanon on Tuesday morning. The targets included Radwan Force military camps, where Hezbollah terrorists and warehouses used for storing weapons were identified. “The military camps are used by Hezbollah to conduct training and exercises for terrorists for the planning and execution of terror operations against IDF forces and the State of Israel,” the IDF spokesperson said. “Radwan Force terrorists carried out gunfire drills and training exercises using various types of weapons at the military camps.” “Hezbollah’s Radwan Force is the unit that planned and advanced the Conquer the Galil plan for years.
