In what can only be described as an unintended marathon for political journalists, former President Donald Trump inadvertently extended the 2024 campaign by two months—at least, in his own timeline—during a speech Monday night in Oaks, Pennsylvania. Addressing the crowd, Trump couldn’t resist boasting about his reported gains among Black and Hispanic voters. “Our poll numbers have gone through the roof with Black and Hispanic—have gone through the roof,” Trump declared with characteristic flair. “And I like that. I like that. I like that,” he added, basking in the cheers of his supporters. But then, in classic Trump fashion, things took a turn. Urging his audience to vote, Trump decided to rewrite the calendar.

An elderly Jewish man became the target of a brutal attack in Boro Park after being pepper sprayed while exiting a sukkah on 50th Street near New Utrecht Avenue. The man had just stepped out of the sukkah, intending to head to his car, when a Middle Eastern man approached him without warning and unleashed a stream of pepper spray. The victim was left in agony, his eyes swelling rapidly from the effects of the attack. Within moments, Boro Park Hatzolah arrived at the scene, swiftly transporting the elderly man to a nearby hospital for urgent treatment. As chaos unfolded, Boro Park Shomrim sprang into action. They quickly reviewed surveillance footage from the area and managed to identify not only the make and model of the suspect’s car but also captured a clear image of the perpetrator.

Last week, the IDF called on residents of northern Gaza to evacuate their homes for their safety ahead of an IDF operation in the Jabaliya area. However, per their usual cruel ways of using civilians as human shields, Hamas terrorists are preventing civilians from heeding IDF directives. Members of the IDF’s Unit 504 (human intelligence) received phone calls from Gazan civilians who reported that Hamas terrorists are beating them and preventing them from evacuating to the humanitarian zone.

The IDF has ramped up targeted operations against terrorist infrastructure in southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. Leveraging precise intelligence, IDF soldiers are conducting localized raids to dismantle Hezbollah terror targets in southern Lebanon, resulting in the elimination of dozens of militants through close-quarters combat and aerial strikes. The Israel Air Force (IAF) has also targeted approximately 200 Hezbollah positions, including rocket launchers, anti-tank missile posts, and weapons storage facilities housing rockets, anti-tank missiles, RPGs, and other munitions. At the same time, IDF troops are continuing operational activity throughout the Gaza Strip, focused on dismantling terrorist infrastructure.

The IDF has announced that they have killed of Muhammad Kamel Naim, the head of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force’s anti-tank missile unit, in a targeted airstrike in Nabatiyeh, southern Lebanon. According to the IDF, Naim was responsible for directing anti-tank missile fire into Israel. The IDF released footage of the strike that eliminated Naim. The attack comes in response to a barrage of rockets fired by Hezbollah into northern and central Israel earlier in the day. While some rockets were intercepted by Israel’s missile defense systems, others landed in open areas, causing no reported injuries. Following the rocket fire, the IAF retaliated by targeting the rocket launchers used in the attack. (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)

The IDF confirmed that after alarms went off in Tel Aviv and over 180 communities across central Israel, three rockets were detected entering Israeli territory from Lebanon.

In retaliation, Israeli Air Force jets targeted and struck the rocket launcher responsible for the attack. Residents across central Israel, including in Tel Aviv, took cover in shelters as alarms echoed throughout the region. (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)

In a fiery segment of his No Spin News show, former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly slammed New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Eric Adams, declaring that the situation in the state and city has reached “Armageddon.” Pointing to recent polls, O’Reilly highlighted growing frustration among New Yorkers with their leadership. A Siena College poll released last month showed Hochul with a favorability rating of just 34%, compared to 54% unfavorable. O’Reilly attributed these poor numbers to the state’s high taxes and crumbling infrastructure. “New York City is out of control,” he said. “She is doing nothing to improve the situation. New York state is the highest-taxed state in the union.

In an interview with Sky News, former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett called for a decisive Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear program and its regime centers, emphasizing the need to target the leadership of the Iranian government. “I believe that Israel should strike Iran’s nuclear program and regime centers,” Bennett said. “We are trying to topple the regime—everything is on the table.” He clarified that while the Iranian people are not the target, the regime, which he described as an “octopus of terror,” should be directly confronted. “We should target the head of the octopus, including the Supreme Leader,” Bennett added.

A mass casualty incident has been reported in the Binyamina area near Haifa, where a drone strike has left at least 20 people injured, many critically.

The report indicates that two drones approached Israel, though the origin is unspecified.

A Chabad girls’ school in Toronto was struck by gunfire early Yom Kippur morning, marking the second such incident this year at the school as antisemitic attacks surge across Canada. Local police reported that shots were fired from a vehicle at around 4 a.m. at the Bais Chaya Mushka school in the North York area, shattering a window. No injuries were reported. This is the second time the school has been targeted this year, following a similar shooting in May. Authorities believe the two incidents are connected. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has done practically nothing to stop the hate overtaking Canada, said he was “very disturbed” by the attack.
