IAF forces on Sunday carried out an airstrike on a suspicious vehicle near Nuseirat in central Gaza. The vehicle was traveling on a road that was banned from traffic as part of the ceasefire/hostage deal release between Israel and the Hamas terror organization.

Authorities sifted through burned cars, damaged homes and charred debris Saturday to gather clues that might explain why an air ambulance exploded into a fiery ball as it crashed on a busy Philadelphia street, killing seven and leaving no survivors on board.

A fire broke out Friday night at the Satmar V’Yoel Moshe Shul on Northumberland Street in Salford, sending thick plumes of smoke over the city. Emergency services responded swiftly to the blaze, which reportedly began around 5 p.m. in offices on the building’s top floor. Six fire engines from Manchester Central, Blackley, Phillips Park, Salford, and Broughton fire stations arrived to tackle the flames. Shul representatives suspect an electrical fault may have caused the fire, though they noted it was too early to confirm. The flames were extinguished by approximately 7:30 p.m., and crews remained on-site to ensure the area was safe. There was no word on the Sifrei Torah. (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)

This week there was a video clip circulating of a visibly agitated Yid, publicly protesting a deliberate modification found in the pages of the responsa of Maran Harav Moshe Feinstein ZT”L. The video went viral and outraged many, while others silently gloated as the changes, or lack thereof, was consistent with their respective narratives. YWN initially shared in the outrage as well, as this appeared to be an invasion of the Holy of Hollies and a blatant act to desecrate the sacred works of the Gadol Hador. However, before rushing to judgement and conclusions, YWN opted to dispatch our investigative team to explore and inspect the content with the hopes of uncovering the truth.

Yerushalayim residents are outraged after discovering that Ahmad Marzouk, a recently released security prisoner, has been employed in a Chareidi neighborhood despite his history of incitement and criminal activity. Marzouk, who was freed in the November-December hostage deal, was arrested again in February on charges of drug possession, threats, and racially motivated offenses. He was detained in the Yemin Moshe neighborhood along with several other suspects found in possession of illegal substances. Despite his release, Marzouk has continued to post extremist content on social media, regularly glorifying terrorists, encouraging violence, and supporting the October 7 attack on Israel.
