The Israeli Air Force on Thursday morning intercepted a drone over southern Israel launched by Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip.

No injuries were reported in the incident, which triggered air-raid sirens in the areas of Kibbutz Magen and Moshav Ein HaBesor at 11:45 a.m.

Approximately 50 minutes earlier, alarms sounded in Kiryat Shmona and Kibbutz Manara in the Galilee panhandle, which the IDF later said was a false alarm.

The online “peace and justice” conversation is to focus on “U.S. militarism and racism” and is listed on the official website of the New Hampshire Department of Business and Economic Affairs.
“Today, six young Israeli children lost their father to heinous terrorism,” the Israeli government stated. “May his memory be a blessing.”
The move is part of a growing effort by the Trump administration to root out Jew-hatred in Latin America, which flourished among leftist governments after Oct. 7.
“We have still not seen a single candidate present a detailed plan to combat institutional antisemitism at the United Nations,” Danny Danon, Israel’s U.N. ambassador, said.
