The Israel Defense Forces found Nazi-related paraphernalia while searching civilian homes in Southern Lebanon, used by Hezbollah terrorists for storing weapons and other items.

The Israeli military crossed the border last month to destroy terror infrastructure and work to stop the rocket and other fire that has been launched at the Jewish state since Oct. 8, 2023, one day after the Hamas terrorist attacks in southern Israel.

On Friday, the IDF shared images of five objects uncovered during operations. One photo shows a book with an Arabic title and the handwritten name Hassan Salih above a swastika drawn in the style of an Indian swastika rather than the Nazi version.

Another image includes four items. Two—a red pennant flag and what appears to be a wooden box or puzzle—include swastikas. Two figures photographed show Adolf Hitler performing a Nazi salute and a man in a greenish uniform carrying a gun.

“It’s no coincidence these were found in civilian homes exploited by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon,” the IDF stated on X. “Hezbollah’s goal has always been the same: annihilate Israel.”

“This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wrote.
A filing with France’s highest administrative court asked for an order to “prevent trade or investment relations that assist in the maintenance” of a Jewish presence in eastern Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria.
Chris Wright, U.S. energy secretary, stated that the deal upholds the “highest standards of nuclear safety and nonproliferation.”
“She will carry the fight forward and stand unwaveringly with the American Jewish community and strengthen the US-Israel relationship,” Sam Markstein told JNS.
The agreement “should be the standard every school holds itself to before, not after, a student gets hurt,” Kenneth L. Marcus of the Brandeis Center said.
“Tisha B’Av historically has been a day of tragedy for the Jewish people,” Moshe Spern, president of the organization, told JNS. “I’m nervous that the community will face threats specifically on this day.
