Donald Trump Jr. says “maybe one day” when asked if he’ll run for president when his father’s term is over. He has previously denied any interest in becoming commander-in-chief.

An Israeli drone strike in Ain Baal, near Tyre, Lebanon, killed Hezbollah operative Hussein Nazih Barji, a key figure in the group’s weapons research and development, who the IDF described as a “significant source of knowledge” in weapons production, the military announced today.

IDF troops fired warning shots into the air near a European diplomatic delegation visiting Jenin after the group strayed from the agreed-upon route and entered a restricted area, prompting the IDF to intervene to push them back.

American intelligence sources have reportedly uncovered indications that Israel is actively making preparations for a potential offensive targeting Iranian nuclear sites, CNN reported Tuesday, citing several officials within the U.S. government.
If carried out, such a military operation by Israel would diverge sharply from President Donald Trump’s current emphasis on diplomatic negotiations with Tehran, and could provoke a broader conflict across the Middle East, the officials cautioned.
Though no definitive green light has been given by Israel’s leadership, internal U.S. government assessments remain divided over whether Israel is truly on the brink of launching a strike.

Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani, who is running for mayor, is facing sharp backlash over comments accusing New York lawmakers of using taxpayer funds for trips to Israel—a claim critics are calling both false and antisemitic.
Jewish leaders say the Queens Assemblyman’s remarks suggest Jewish politicians are abusing public money to favor Israel, fueling age-old antisemitic narratives.
“The danger that Mamdani poses to Jewish freedom in New York City is palpable,” said Queens Councilman Rory Lancman, who also serves as senior counsel at the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law.

JERUSALEM (VINnews) — A Lebanese report from last Friday claimed that the new regime in Damascus, led by Ahmad al-Sharaa, is not ruling out the possibility of handing over the remains of Israeli spy Eli

A pack of veterinarians clambered over hefty metal crates on Tuesday morning, loading them one by one onto a fleet of semi-trucks. Among the cargo: tigers, monkeys, jaguars, elephants and lions – all fleeing the latest wave of cartel violence eclipsing the northern Mexican city of Culiacan. For years, exotic pets of cartel members and circus animals have been living in a small animal refuge on the outskirts of Sinaloa’s capital. However, a bloody power struggle erupted last year between rival Sinaloa cartel factions, plunging the region into unprecedented violence and leaving the leaders of the Ostok Sanctuary reeling from armed attacks, constant death threats and a cutoff from essential supplies needed to keep their 700 animals alive.

The IDF on Wednesday confirmed the elimination of Mohamed Sinwar, commander of the military wing of the Hamas terror organization and brother of slain Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. The commander of the Rafah Brigade, Muhammad Shabana, a battalion commander, and 10 other terrorists, including Hamas company commanders, were eliminated along with Sinwar in a tunnel under the European Hospital in Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

A former presidential physician is raising alarms about President Joe Biden’s health following the revelation of his prostate cancer diagnosis. The disclosure, made by Biden’s personal office on Sunday, shocked the nation. What had previously been described as a “small nodule” was revealed to be Stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer that has spread to the bones. Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), who served as White House physician under both Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump, told the Washington Free Beacon that Biden’s prognosis could be dire—potentially fatal within a year. Jackson, while acknowledging that oncology is not his specialty, said he consulted with several urologists who agreed that the situation appears advanced. “It could be 12 to 18 months,” Jackson said.

Last week, the Ramada Hotel in Yerushalayim hosted the annual OU Kashrus Conference, an event that has grown into one of the most prominent gatherings in the global kashrus world. The event drew hundreds of mashgichim from across the globe, as well as leading kashrus professionals and some of the most esteemed gedolei Torah and poskim, who came together for in-depth discussions on timely and complex halachic issues in kashrus.

The IDF on Wednesday confirmed the elimination of Mohamed Sinwar, commander of the military wing of the Hamas terror organization and brother of slain Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. The commander of the Rafah Brigade, Muhammad Shabana, a battalion commander, and 10 other terrorists, including Hamas company commanders, were eliminated along with Sinwar in a tunnel under the European Hospital in Khan Younis in southern Gaza. Last week, IAF fighter jets dropped at least nine heavy MK-84 bombs, weighing one ton each, on the tunnel entrances of the underground complex while Sinwar was holding a top-level meeting. Kan News reported earlier on Wednesday that the IDF carried out additional airstrikes today at the site of Sinwar’s elimination.

The Israel Defense Forces stand ready to broaden their operations inside the Gaza Strip if Hamas continues to refuse the release of Israeli hostages, Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir declared in a video address on Tuesday.
His message followed an on-the-ground assessment and military tour in Gaza as part of Israel’s latest large-scale offensive, named “Gideon’s Chariots.” The campaign aims to deal a powerful blow to Hamas, capture strategic territory, and push the Palestinian population from northern Gaza toward the south.
This latest military escalation comes as ceasefire and hostage negotiations resume in Qatar. The talks restarted after the recent freeing of Edan Alexander, a dual American-Israeli hostage.

Google on Tuesday unleashed another wave of artificial intelligence technology to accelerate a year-long makeover of its search engine that is changing the way people get information and curtailing the flow of internet traffic to websites. The next phase outlined at Google’s annual developers conference includes releasing a new “AI mode” option in the United States. The feature makes interacting with Google’s search engine more like having a conversation with an expert capable of answering questions on just about any topic imaginable. AI mode is being offered to all comers in the U.S. just two-and-a-half-months after the company began testing with a limited Labs division audience.

A British climber who scaled Mount Everest for the 19th time, breaking his own record for the most ascents of the world’s highest peak by a non-Sherpa guide, returned from the mountain Tuesday and said he is already planning his next attempt. Kenton Cool from southwest England, reached the 8,849-meter (29,032-foot) summit Sunday before flying on a helicopter with his clients back to the Nepalese capital, Kathmandu. “I am 51 now, and I have been coming here since 2004 to climb Everest,” Cool said at Kathmandu’s airport. “I have at least one more climb for next year — maybe 20 or 21 (total). After that I’ll start climbing other mountains in Nepal.” Cool has scaled Everest almost every year since 2004.

Brig. Gen. Shay Tayeb, a senior official in the IDF’s Personnel Directorate, presented data on measures against army deserters and draft dodgers at a meeting of the Knesset’s IDF Manpower Committee on Wednesday. “In the first nine months of the war,, we did not carry out enforcement operations against deserters,” he said, adding that the 340 deserters arrested at Ben Gurion Airport were from all sectors, not just the Chareidi sector. Committee chairman Elazar Stern (Yesh Atid) asked: “What tools do you need to obtain thousands of new recruits? There are arrests and travel bans and driver’s license bans—the tools you aren’t using.” Tayeb replied: “These tools and the sanctions you mentioned are not enforceable.
