Iranian state-controlled media and affiliated news organizations asserted today that Tehran had successfully acquired a massive cache of highly classified Israeli intelligence, supposedly including details about Israel’s defense systems and nuclear infrastructure. No proof was presented to substantiate these claims.
State television announced, “Iran’s intelligence apparatus has obtained a vast quantity of strategic and sensitive information and documents belonging to the Zionist regime,” emphasizing the alleged magnitude of the haul.
The announcement was echoed by Hezbollah-aligned al-Mayadeen and the semi-official Iranian outlet Tasnim, though none of the reports offered any specifics about the contents or origin of the purported documents.

An Israeli airstrike in Gaza City earlier today eliminated Asaad Abu Sharia, the head of the Mujahideen Brigades, a smaller terror group affiliated with Hamas. The group was implicated in the October 7, 2023, abduction and killing of several hostages, including Shiri Bibas and her two young sons. In a separate operation, another senior figure from the same organization, Mahmoud Kaheel, was also killed.
The Mujahideen Brigades acknowledged that both Abu Sharia and Kaheel had been killed. Abu Sharia led the group, which, though less prominent than Hamas, played a key role in the brutal attacks. Kaheel held a high-ranking position within the organization.

Hamas today released a new image of Matan Zangauker, an Israeli hostage, and claimed that Israeli forces were surrounding the location in Gaza where he is allegedly being kept. The group threatened to kill him if the army came any closer.
In a response, the Israeli military issued a statement clarifying that they had not carried out any rescue attempt for Zangauker.
The photo shows Zangauker lying on his side, partially covered by a blanket. An IV bag is visible in the background, suggesting he is receiving some form of medical treatment.

Thousands gathered Thursday night at Yeshivas Ateres Shlomo in Rishon L’Tzion for the inauguration of the world’s largest and most ornate Aron Kodesh and the dedication of a new, exceptionally small Sefer Torah.
The celebration began with the writing of the final letters of the Sefer Torah at the home of Rabbi Moshe Buchris in Rishon L’Tzion. From there, a majestic procession made its way through the streets, which came to a standstill as throngs of locals joined.

Ongoing demonstrations against federal immigration enforcement escalated again today in Los Angeles, where federal agents in full riot gear reportedly used flash-bang devices to disperse unruly crowds. The federal government now plans to deploy the National Guard, citing what officials called an unacceptable delay by the LAPD in responding to Friday’s unrest.
“We’re going to bring the National Guard in tonight. We’re going to continue doing our job. We’re going to push back on these people and we’re going to enforce the law,” said Tom Homan, Acting Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, during an appearance on Fox News.

A dramatic scene unfolded on Fifth Avenue recently when an entire section of the iconic Manhattan street was shut down to accommodate an enormous delivery to Jeff Bezos’ lavish penthouse in the NoMad neighborhood — an event captured in a now-viral TikTok video.
The footage shows a massive, shrink-wrapped piece of furniture suspended midair as a crane carefully lifted it over the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 26th Street. The area below was cordoned off with caution tape and barricades, surrounded by heavy equipment and moving trucks.

In a dramatic effort to stabilize the financial future of Gerrer mosdos across the globe, the Gerrer Rebbe departed Eretz Yisroel shortly after midnight on Motzoei Shabbos for a high-stakes fundraising mission in the United States.
The emergency trip comes amid the ongoing political crisis and sweeping cuts to yeshivah and kollel budgets in Israel. With the looming uncertainty surrounding the draft law and the status of bnei Torah, Gerrer leaders have launched a bold campaign to raise a massive sum — enough to support all Gerrer institutions in Israel and abroad for the next two years.

President Trump issued a sharp warning to Elon Musk today, saying the billionaire would face “very serious consequences” if he began financially backing Democratic candidates, while expressing sorrow over Musk’s emotional state.
“If he does, he’ll have to pay the consequences for that,” Trump said in a phone conversation with NBC News’ Kristen Welker.
“He’ll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that,” Trump repeated, though he did not provide further details.
When Welker asked if there was anything else he wanted to share about the current situation, Trump responded plainly.
“No, not at all. We’re doing great,” Trump said. “The bill is great. It looks like we’re going to get it passed. Looks strongly like we’re going to get it passed.”
