French authorities on Friday arrested a man originally from Gaza after an assault on a rabbi in a suburb of Paris, the latest in a series of troubling antisemitic incidents that have shaken the Jewish community in France.
Rabbi Elie Lemmel reported that while seated at a café in Neuilly-sur-Seine, a suburb just outside Paris, he was suddenly struck in the head with a chair by an unknown individual.
Earlier in the week, Rabbi Lemmel had posted on social media describing a separate attack in Deauville, Normandy, where he said he was punched in the stomach by someone speaking a language he didn’t recognize. “I received a blow and was insulted in a language I didn’t understand,” he wrote.

The IDF this evening released the identities of two of the four soldiers from the elite Yahalom Unit who lost their lives earlier this week during fighting in Gaza.
Sergeant First Class Tom Rotstein, 23, a resident of Ramat Gan, and Sergeant Uri Yhonatan Cohen, 20, from Neve Yarak, were part of the Yahalom Unit under the Combat Engineering Corps. Both were killed in combat operations taking place in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.
Their deaths occurred during the same combat operation that claimed the life of Sergeant Major Chen Gross, 33, from Gan Yoshiya. Gross was a reservist serving in the Maglan Unit, which is part of the Commando Brigade.

More than 20 people were taken into custody today after a crowd of close to 150 demonstrators gathered in Lower Manhattan and attempted to disrupt federal immigration enforcement activities, according to law enforcement sources, government officials, and video footage from the scene.
The protesters, many of whom had their faces covered, shouted obscenities at police, sat down in the street, and physically obstructed an unmarked white van with darkened windows as it tried to depart from 26 Federal Plaza, the location of the US Immigration Court.
“Back up, back up!” shouted six Department of Homeland Security officers in uniform, as they pushed protestors away from the vehicle, according to video captured at the scene.

Federal authorities have issued a nationwide alert highlighting the increased threat facing Jewish and Israeli communities across the United States. The warning comes in the wake of two high-profile violent incidents that have shaken those communities and drawn concern from federal law enforcement.
In a Public Service Announcement released jointly by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, officials pointed to a recent uptick in antisemitic violence, citing multiple attacks as examples of a troubling trend. “The war in Gaza,” the bulletin said, “may motivate other violent extremists and hate crime perpetrators with similar grievances to conduct violence against Jewish and Israeli communities and their supporters.”

In the face of mounting criticism from international organizations, U.S. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce pushed back against detractors of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a newly established aid mechanism aimed at circumventing Hamas and delivering assistance directly to Gaza’s civilians.
