Aura, a real estate development firm, confirmed to Arutz Sheva–Israel National News that human remains were extracted from one of its construction sites in Yehud, located in central Israel. The company emphasized that the removal was conducted in strict accordance with halacha (Jewish law) and under the guidance of an Orthodox rabbi with expertise in these matters.
This acknowledgment followed a decision by the Israel Antiquities Authority to file a complaint with the police and freeze construction activities. The suspension came after unauthorized individuals entered the site during the night, removed human remains, and took archaeological artifacts—an act considered a serious breach of Israeli law.

On Sunday, Transportation Minister Miri Regev granted an official Israeli trade license to Tus Air, a Cypriot airline, marking a significant step in expanding Israel’s aviation network.
With this authorization in place, Tus Air is now positioned to begin operating new flight routes connecting Israel to multiple destinations, including those beyond Europe. The airline will also be formally recognized as part of the group of Israeli-licensed carriers.
Minister Regev commented on the development, saying, “This is consumer and strategic news that will contribute to expanding competition, grow the number of destinations, and lead to a decrease in airfare. This is the second carrier to join the Israeli fleet.”

Knesset Interior Committee Chairman MK Yaakov Asher (UTJ) has sounded the alarm over a growing mortgage crisis, calling on Finance Minister Betzalel Smotrich and Bank of Israel Governor Amir Yaron to take swift and decisive action. His plea follows troubling reports showing a notable rise in missed mortgage payments across the country.
Speaking at a conference hosted by the Association of Chareidi Mortgage Advisors, Asher expressed serious concern over the direction the housing finance sector is heading. “When you start hearing about a rise in missed payments, that’s already an emergency,” he said. “Tightening financial conditions will only strangle mortgage holders, making it harder for them to repay, and that will push many into insolvency.”
