The assault on the Torah world shows no signs of slowing. In a move drawing fierce backlash, Israel’s Attorney General has decided to penalize the children of yungeleit who are considered draft-dodgers by revoking their previously granted priority status in admissions to government-supervised daycare centers, where space is already extremely limited.
According to a report by Liel Kaiser on Kan News, this new directive would effectively relegate these children to the bottom of the list for admission, placing them at a severe disadvantage due to the state’s classification of their fathers as “lawbreakers.”

Spanish authorities said that an adviser to former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych was shot dead on Wednesday when gunmen targeted him outside the American School of Madrid. Andrii Portnov, 51, was identified as the victim by Spain’s Interior Ministry. He was shot at 9:15 a.m. local time (0715 GMT), authorities said, after apparently dropping his children off for class. Witnesses reported that Portnov was shot “several times” in the head and body by more than one gunman when he was getting into his car, a black Mercedes Benz, police said. The assailants then fled on foot. Madrid’s emergency services said that he was found dead when medics arrived with at least three shots to his body.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
