Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited wounded soldiers at a hospital in southern Israel on Monday after a weekend of hostilities, where the Israeli leader said that the “rules of the game” have changed in the Gaza Strip.
“In the last two days, we resumed the policy of eliminating senior terrorists. We killed dozens of Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists, and knocked down terrorist buildings,” Netanayhu said while visiting the Israel Defense Forces Southern Command, pushing back against criticism that he has not done enough to end rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip.

Mayor Bill de Blasio said Friday he plans to investigate whether the city can offer drivers some relief by cutting down on alternate-side parking regulations.
In most city neighborhoods, cars must be cleared from one side of a street once or twice a week — meaning residents might have to move their cars up to four times a week on a specific block to avoid being ticketed.
“We all want clean streets for sure, but I want to make sure that standard is being applied very precisely because the fewer times people have to move their cars, the better,” de Blasio said on WYNC radio’s “The Brian Lehrer Show.”
“I do think New Yorkers, if you don’t need to own a car in New York City, you shouldn’t own a car in NYC.

A leading US Jewish civil rights group on Monday announced a $5,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of a group of men who attacked an Orthodox Jewish man in Brooklyn over the weekend.
The Anti-Defamation League said it was putting up the reward to encourage those with information about the assailants to come forward.
The incident occurred on Saturday afternoon in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, which has been the site of a rash of antisemitic assaults on Orthodox Jewish men in recent months.

Israel passed information on an alleged Iranian plot to attack U.S. interests in the Gulf to the U.S. before national security adviser John Bolton threatened Iran with “unrelenting force” last night, senior Israeli officials reported.
Information about possible Iranian plots against the U.S. or its allies in the Gulf were raised two weeks ago in talks held at the White House between an Israeli delegation headed by national security adviser Meir Ben Shabbat and a U.S. team led by Bolton, the Israeli officials told me.

Boeing said Sunday it knew of a safety alert flaw in the cockpit of its 737 MAX jetliners months before the first of 2 fatal crashes involving the now-grounded aircraft, but it didn’t immediately notify regulators.
The issue concerns a warning light in the cockpit, known as the AOA Disagree alert. This alert is meant to notify the flight crew that two angle-of-attack (AOA) sensors are providing data that disagree with each other, which suggests one is erroneous.
The company said in a statement the aircraft’s “display system software did not correctly meet” the AOA alert requirements in 2017 — well before October’s Lion Air crash in Indonesia, which killed 189 people.

As of Sunday evening, four Israeli civilians have been killed after terror groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad launched more than 600 rockets and mortars from Gaza into Israel. By doing so, Hamas and Islamic Jihad commit a double war crime by firing at civilians while hiding behind civilians. A delegation of U.S. ambassadors currently visiting Israel published a joint statement in which they said, “Enough is enough!” The statement also read, “Can one imagine rockets falling on Washington, Berlin, Paris, Brussels, Bern or Lisbon today without an appropriately strong reaction?”
Efraim Inbar, president of the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security, mirrored their statement, telling JNS, “Enough is enough.”

New York City councilman Kalman Yeger plans to introduce a bill this week that would require the city to pay for an armed security guard at any house of worship that requests the protection. The bill was prompted by recent terrorist attacks and mass shootings inside churches, synagogues, and mosques around the world.
