A 65,000-ton cruise ship blared an urgent horn as it beelined toward a busy Venetian dock, sending panicked onlookers running for safety.
Video showed the moment the 2,100-passenger MSC Opera bumped a nearby river boat early Sunday morning before slamming into the wharf in the San Basilio Terminal on the Giudecca Canal. A deep thud, then the sound of shattering glass could be heard as the vessel scrapped along the quay, and passersby shouted instructions to flee the rogue cruise ship.
Port authorities told Agence France-Presse four tourists sustained minor injuries.
MSC Cruises said in a statement to The Washington Post that the ship experienced “a technical issue” as it moved toward the dock for mooring.

On the Israel light rails today, a combat soldier whose ID card was stolen fought with the train officers to be allowed to continue the ride in order to be on time for his duties or face arrest.

Despite the soldier’s mother showing her ID card and civilian passengers offering to pay for the ticket, the officer was adamant and forced the young man off the train.

Hamas and the Islamic Jihad also condemned the action by security forces, blaming Israel for the violence
Jordan on Sunday sent a formal protest to the Israeli government over its decision to allow religious Jewish activists to visit the Har Habayis complex on Yom Yerushalayim, warning it could lead to a fresh round of violence.
“We strongly condemn the continuation of the Israeli violations at the Al-Aqsa (Mosque) by extremists who have the backing of the security forces,” the Jordanian Foreign Ministry said.
Amman also warned that the “dangerous consequences of the provocative Israeli policy could lead to a new escalation of violence that would threaten the entire region.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has fired Education Minister Naftali Bennett and Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked from the government, his spokeswoman says.
Bennett and Shaked’s New Right party failed to clear the minimum vote threshold in elections on April 9 for Knesset, but the two continued to serve on an interim basis until the formation of a new government. That will now not be until after fresh elections in September, which were called after Netanyahu failed to form a government by Wednesday night’s deadline.
There is no word in the announcement on who will succeed Bennett and Shaked, but Channel 13 news reported Saturday that Netanyahu was expected to tap members of his Likud party for the posts.

Despite the drubbing he received in Israel’s April 9 election, New Right co-founder Naftali Bennett is gearing up to run his new party in the September election. Moreover, according to Israeli daily Israel Hayom, Bennett is considering a political alliance with far-right activist Moshe Feiglin, who exceeded all expectations during the last campaign before his Zehut Party lost steam ahead of election day and failed to pass the minimum electoral threshold.

As Jews celebrated the liberation of Yerushalayim and the reunification of the city in the 1967 Six-Day War, Arabs outraged that Jews had been given limited access to the Har Habayis for the occasion hurled chairs, stones and other objects at security forces, according to the Israel Police Spokesperson’s Unit on Sunday.
Security staff responded with riot dispersal maneuvers, and hundreds of Jews were permitted to continue to walk through the holy site in groups.
The Har Habayis is typically restricted to Jews during Ramadan, out of concern for the sensitivities of Muslim worshippers.
